Hello everyone.
So I started this story over two years ago I think... Sadly the updates have been highly inconsistent, and I have all but forgotten how to write this story but I guess I need to complete this story and not leave my lovely readers hanging. This story only has a couple more chapters left. I'm posting part A of chapter 10 right now, I will try to complete part be of the same and post it ASAP.
This update may suck, but please be gentle? I am writing anything after over a year.
PART 10 (A) - Yeh toh hona hi tha
"Aaa aaa, kabhi khushi kabhi gham, na judaa honge hum, kabhi khushiii kabhi gham... tan tanan tanan tanananana tan tanan tanan, tan tan tan... OYE!"
"For god's sake khushi, don't torture me with this crap!"
"K3G is NOT torture! Besides, patti dev, for a happily married life with me, you must learn to love and respect this movie. This movie is my lifeline, and you must learn to accept that! Now move aside!"
"Patti dev? A little early for that, don't you think?"
"Arnav, move aside naaa, it's my favourite scene!"
"Not so fast sweetheart. I didn't know you were this eager to marry me?"
Oh that sly smirk again, it would be the death of me someday... Come to think of it, I must write a will which mentions his smirk under the probable causes of death section (if there is a section like that in a will). Wait, where was I?
"Khush? Would you stop zoning out on me? Please? Have some mercy on my male ego! What would people say? I can't even indulge my girlfri..."
"...wife, learn the word, its WIFE, spelt W.I.F.E. WIFE..."
I cut him off subconsciously, while shifting right and left to view the tv screen, what with this huge distraction standing in the way
"Not yet, abhi toh girlfriend ho bacha, shaadi mein toh abhi bauhat time hai..."
"Two weeks, does not certify as BAUHAT TIME. And a little practice never harmed anyone! Learn to address me as your wife! Now move aside. As it is, I'm stuck at home, and now you won't even let me watch my movie in peace"
I was so frustrated, I wasn't allowed to step out of the house, I wasn't allowed to do any major ghar ka kaam (not that I wanted to do that bit, but doesn't hurt to complain, eh?), I wasn't allowed to go out with friends (the fact that Lavanya was staying at my place was a separate perk but that didn't count considering that she was out shopping all day), and I wasn't even allowed to meet Arnav... shit! I WASN'T ALLOWED TO MEET ARNAV, WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING HERE THEN?
Suddenly I jumped up from the couch and ran straight into his arms (mind you, he was standing less than 5 feet away, but I like being dramatic). The next second I was wrapped in his arms with the warmest fluffiest feelings rising within me. Giving him a few abrupt kisses all over his face, I smiled up at him, only to receive a long, toe curling, mind numbing, proper kiss in return.
"What are you doing here?"
I asked, as I pulled him towards my room. Yes, it was a shaadi ka ghar, and yes it should have been filled with guests but I guess it was my lucky day, as most of my relatives hadn't arrived yet, and the ones that had were all out. My movie marathon was actually a result of my boredom for there was no one to entertain me at home.
"I came by to..."
I rushed arnav inside my room, and once I had safely locked us in, I quite literally jumped into his arms, with my legs wrapping around his waist, and my lips reaching for his in an unexplainable urgency. He responded fervently, his one hand wrapping around my left thigh, while the other supported my back. We fell on the bed in our need to have a fill of each other. While arnav tried to pull back after a while, I wouldn't let him, but when he gently pushed me back, holding my face in his hands, I had to stop. Even making a sad puppy face didn't help my frustrated cause. He brushed my hair away from my face and kissed me all over my face, then he surprised me by unwrapping me from around him, only to himself lie on his back and then pull me over him so I was lying atop him, like literally lying entirely on top of him with my arms around his waist and my head resting on his chest, as he tightly wound his arms around me.
It was a while before either of us spoke. The only sound in the room being that of our breathing, and my frequent sloppy kisses across his face and neck.
"I came by to give you something, and before you ask, I entered from your window, payal had left it open for me"
I pulled my hands from around his waist and folding them on his chest, placed my chin on them to stare up at him. Then pulling up to kiss his stubble a few times, I settled back with a smile on my lips, and releasing a contented sigh I dug my face in the crook of his neck.
"I love you"
"I love you"
"What gift did you get me?"
"It's in your closet."
I looked up at that,
"My closet? Already?"
"Yeah, I put it there when I came in."
"Oooh, I'll go check righ..."
And PLOMP! I tried to get up off him again but PHOOF, and then a third time, but he kept pulling me back down. Frustrated, I fell back against him and mumbled,
"Don't you want me to see my gift?"
"Not until I've left, just stay with me for now..." "Please" he added as an afterthought.
And I could never deny an offer that tempting so I settled more comfortably against or rather on top of him, and enjoyed the bliss.
Two hours later however, it was time for him to go, and although I insisted for him to leave through the main door, he was adamant on jumping out the window... Idiot that he is.
"Khush, I cannot wait to see you as my bride"
I had the basic decency (or rather the systematic response installed in every willing bride to be) to blush at that. He pushed his hand under my chin and forced me to look back up at him while we stood next to my room's window.
"Don't shy away from me. In two weeks, I will see you as my bride, and that will be the luckiest day of my life. Promise me you'll wear my gift to our wedding?"
"Arnav... you know ma made my wedding dress and I'm wearing Ma's jewellery, can I wear your gift to the reception? I don't want to upset ma... please?
"Bacha, I'm not hearing a word about this anymore, you're wearing my gift to our wedding and that's final. Besides, you haven't even seen my gift yet, you'll love it, I just know it."
"But Arnav..."
"Khushi! You're wearing my gift. End of discussion."
"But I..."
"I'll see you at the haldi, bacha. Just see the gift, okay?"
I nodded meekly at that, but my misery was short lived, for the next minute I was melting in arnav's arms as he kissed me and then left with a parting declaration of our love for each other.

The same night...
Buzzz...
Buzzz...
Buzzz...
Buzzz...
"Bhai, why don't you just take the call? Your phone's vibration is annoying me."
"Later Anju, abhi it's bhai behna time."
"It's khushi, bhai, you really should answer that."
"I'll call her later..."
"WHAT? YOU'LL CALL KHUSHI LATER? Did I hear that correctly? The world must have really spun on it's axis, bhai, you..."
"Cut the crap anju, it's no big deal. I just want to spend some time with my little sister."
"Oh please! What did you do?"
"I sent her a gift."
"And what gift did you send her?"
"A personal gift..."
"DID YOU WRITE HER A LETTER WITH YOUR BLOOD?"
"WHAT? NO! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? WHY WOULD I DO THAT?"
"PHEW! Just checking... So what did you send her that has her so pissed that you're actually avoiding her calls?"
"None of your business."
Arnav snatched his phone from the table and rushed to his room. Arnav Singh Raizada was in deep shit. He ignored all her calls, walked the entire length of his poolside at least a 100 times and then deciding on a more effective solution, grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the house. Mind you, this was at 1:00 am. Oh khushi was going to have his head today... oops! tonight...
Meanwhile, Anju made herself some popcorn and put on K3G. It was going to be a long wait before her brother got home tonight. She didn't know what he'd done to have khushi so pissed, but seeing her brother like this was a first, and she was going to stay up as late as required so she could grill his to her heart's content whenever he got back!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA, it was going to be a long night indeed!
