Chapter 2

2005

"Wake up Khushi."

Khushi heard someone whispering in her ears disturbing her lovely dream. She was having one of the best dreams she had ever had. She had been sitting in a beautiful white carriage wearing the most beautiful champagne gown when the carriage had come to a stop. The carriage door opened and she found it was none other than Arnav in a dashing black tuxedo. The evening sun rays shone on his sleek black hair. It illuminated his brown eyes so much so that they dazzled. He was the most gorgeous man she had ever met. If Apollo himself greeted her with his presence, she would not look twice upon him while her Arnav was in front of her.

He brought his hand forward and she delighted in the gesture. She wished she could grab onto his hand forever, never to let go, but for now she would be content with what he would give her. She placed her hand into his waiting palm and he helped her out of the carriage. The perfect gentlemen. She placed her foot on not sand as expected at the beach but rose petals. There were rose petals on the sand forming a pathway leading to a gorgeously decorated table with a lily bouquet centerpiece and candles. Lilies, so he remembered they were her favorite flowers, Khushi's smile widened.

He took her hand and placed on the inside of his arm and walked her to the table. The scent of vanilla flooded all around her and it filled her with euphoria as she breathed it in. Vanilla scented candles'so he also remembered vanilla was her favorite, the smile just kept widening. There was also a champagne bottle on the table and a small jewelry box. Khushi's heart thudded when she realized what might be in that jewelry box. Arnav took the box and got down on his knee asking her "will you be mine forever." Time seemed to stop in that moment. She could not believe her own ears. After years of longing he had finally asked her what she had wanted to hear. Her smile seemed permanently etched on her face, and her eyes shined with the hopes of an amazing future.

Before she could give her reply she heard Arnav say wake up. She frowned then, why was Arnav saying wake up? She heard "wake up my angel" once again and through the haze she realized it wasn't Arnav, it was daddy. "Go away," she said not at all happy at the rude awakening from the promises of a fruitful future. "Khushi I won't ask again, wake up." She opened her eyes to the reality...the beach, the vanilla scented candles, the lilies, the jewelry box, the man on his knees all slipped away from her grasp and she frowned. "Dad I was having the most amazing dream. It's still dark outside, why would you wake me up at this hour?"

"Because my angel...you seem to be forgetting something," he smiled at her and continued, "Happy Birthday my baby girl."

"Oh my god. It's my birthday. How could I forget?" Dad frowned slightly at that, "yes how could you forget. It was all you were talking about for the last few days and now that it is your birthday you forget," dad chuckled toward the end.

"Anyways my angel, I have a gift for you. Don't you want to see or are you just going to stay in bed all day?"
"No, no I am up," she said as she threw the blankets off her and put on her purple bedroom slippers.

"Follow me angel," Khushi was so excited. She knew he must have gotten her something big after all it was her sixteenth birthday.

He led her to outside the house where a sleek black Mercedes awaited her. "Oh my god, dad a merceded. You got me a Mercedes."

She jumped up and down with joy and hugged her father and kissed him on his cheeks repeatedly for the amazing gift. "I love you so so much daddy."

"I know, I know angel. Don't forget to get ready for the party tonight in the car excitement. I have invited everyone you know."

"Oh yes the party. Must look beautiful tonight." Dad had invited everyone which meant obviously Arnav would be coming too and she wanted to look perfect tonight. She ran upstairs brushed, showered, and shaved.

An hour later after blow drying, and straightening her hair she stood in front of her closet wondering what to wear. She didn't think she had any good dress that would surprise Arnav. So she called up Jiya, her best friend. "Jiya I don't have anything to wear for the party."

"Don't worry I will come over and we can go shopping. It will be so much fun. I need to get something for tonight too, so it's perfect."

Four hours later they both sat in Khushi's bedroom surrounded by shopping bags. Khushi had found an amazing blue off shoulder dress. The color had complemented her fair skin tone so much so that Khushi had to buy it.

Jiya had found an off shoulder silver short dress that hugged her figure quite well.

They spent the next two hours getting dressed, and putting on makeup...learning how to do smoky eyes.
