Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi--Chapter 3
Chapter 3
"Ek minute! Jai Prakash! Ja ke saaman le ayee please," said Anjali. Welcoming her brother and new bhabi into Shantivan, Anjali gestured for Khushi to walk forward and tip over the rice with her foot. Then Khushi placed both feet in the taali of kumkum and began to create red footprints through the mansion foyer. Kushi's mind began to wander...she had a flashback of her first visit to Shantivan...
"Which foot did Amma tell me to step in with first..." khushi thought
"Right foot," Anjali said reading Khushi's mind.
"Kaisi naseem hai hamari Devi Maiya? Yeh kya khel khela aapne? Hum ko yakeen nahi ho ra hai ke main voh insaan ki patni bangayi jisne humari itni bezati ki, jiski vaje se hum aur humara paviraar kitne pareshaan the. Raksha karna Devi Maiyya. Himmat de na," thought Khushi.
"Di, jijaji abhi tak nahi aaye?"asked Arnav breaking the silence.
"Nahi voh kuch kaam aagaya tha na is liye. Jaldi vapas aajayenge. Humari bhabi ko jo milne hai!" said Anjali cheerfully.
"Anjali bitiya, aap jaaye, Khushi bitiya ko Chotey ke kamre mein le jaye," said Nani.
"Ji Nani. Aaye Khushi ji--sorry aaye Bhabi," said Anjali.
Thats when it occurred to them. Khushi and Arnavs minds were racing at the thought of having to share a room together. This thought never really dawned upon them until now...
"Hello hi bye bye! Aaj ka programme ab bahot hui gava! Hum ja rahe hain! Good nightiya. Hmmp," Mami stormed away with a quick Mama on her heels.
"Goodnight bhai, nani," said Akash.
Arnav started "Nani mein chalta hoon."
"Ek minute," retorted Nani. "Ek baat aapse kehni thi. Aache se sunlijiye. Hum kush hai ke aap ne Khushi se shaadi ki hai, lekin hum jaante hai ke aap dono ki beech main kuch nahi badla. Hum baas yeh kehna chahte hain ke ab Khushi aapki zimmedari hain. Uska kayal apko rakna parega. Samje?"
"Ji Nani. Goodnight," Arnav stated half- heartedly. He wanted to avoid walking into his own room just so he wouldn't have to face her.
"A-hem," started Anjali. "Paise do varna no entry!"
"Kash "no entry" ka option ta mere paas," Arnav wishfully thought.
Arnav handed over the money to Anjali who winked and the walked away laughing and grinning from the sheer amusement of teasing her brother.
Arnav slowly opened the door. Khushi looked up at the doorway and her eyes met her husband's. She quickly got up and sat down on the long lounge chair Arnav had in his room. She looked at her hands as is continuing to fidget with hands was going to get her out of the situation. Arnav made his way to the bed without so much as a peep and laid down at once. Khushi was now carefully taking her heavy jewelry off and laying it on the table. Clearly the noise was irritating Arnav but what could she do? She laid down using her dupatta to somewhat cover herself from the cold air blowing through, an issue Arnav clearly did not experience with that night.
The next morning Khushi woke up smiling. When and opened her eyes, she turned to the bed and found Arnav waking up as well. She remembered theevents of yesterday and her smile quickly faded. There was a knock on the door. Khushi got up quickly and opened the door.
"Areh, khushi! Tum dono abhi abhi uthe? Kal raat sone ka waqt hi nahi mila hoga na?" Anjali teased.
"Di, baas thodi der mein hum aate hi hain..." Khushi said shyly trying to hide her blush.
Anjali left and Khushi turned around to face Arnav. Khushi said "Uhh...hum shower lene jate hain."
"Ek minute. Yeh mera kamra hain aur mera bathroom hain. Main shower first lunga. Aur aage se yaad rakna ke hum pati patni duniya ki liye hain. Jab yeh kamra ka darwaza band hain, main Arnav Singh Raizada aur tum sirf Khushi Kumari Gupta. Samji? Shaadi kisi se bhi ho, tumhari aukat aur hassiat khabi nahi badlengi." Arnav's words were like daggers in Khushi's heart. She didn't love him, nor she expect a normal marriage but she didn't expect him to mention her status after only one night. She turned around and sat on the edge of the chair that she had slept on last night, trying hard to fight back the tears. After 20 minutes, Khushi heard the water turn off.
"Hai Devi Maiyya! Finally yeh nikla!" Khushi began to grab her towel when she heard Arnav speak. "Khushi...voh...uhh. Mera towel bahar rehgaya. Mujhe de do."
"Ab towel bhi koi bhoolne ki cheez hote hai?" thought Khushi.
Khushi grabbed his towel from the dresser and walked over to the bathroom door. Arnav held his arm out if door. As Khushi tried to give him the towel, Arnav grabbed her arm by mistake. Khushi stared at his hand on her arm and heard her heartbeat increase. Arnav realized what happened and let go and yanked the towel, throwing Khushi off balance. She steadied herself and grabbed her towel.
"Phirse dhak dhak aur acidity? Hai Devi Maiyya" whispered Khushi to herself.
