Anamika led Khushi out.
She was wearing the midnight blue sari with its intricate gold border and a red silk blouse. Her hair was put up in a stylish knot, soft tendrils permitted to caress her face. Matching accessories enhanced the effect.
Arnav took one look at her, and stopped short. His eyes widened, and his lips parted in appreciative wonder.
Anamika took one look at ASR and then turned away to hide her smile. Her eyes searched for Ganesh to share the fun. He was looking at her, his bright eyes twinkling with laughter behind the specs. Anamika had to try very, very hard not to chuckle loudly.
Arnav looked at Khushi, silent, unable to find words to express his heart-felt appreciation of her appearance.
Anamika & Ganesh watched closely to see how Khushi would react to ASR's silence. Would she pout? Preen? Be angry for not receiving her due?
But Khushi was least bothered about her Arnavji's silence. She made her way to him on hasty feet.
"Arnavji! You look so good! Bilkul like a rajkumar!", she exclaimed softly.
Anamika & Ganesh leaned forward to hear their conversation.
"Khushi'.", Arnav said, flushing slightly in pleasure.
"If Buaji were here, she would take some of her kajal and apply it behind your ear to ward off the evil eye!", Khushi told him.
Arnav's flush turned into a blush.
"You look so handsome, Arnavji! Bilkul Salman Khanji ki tarah!", Khushi approved of his appearance.
Anamika coughed ' hard' to stop herself from chuckling. Ganesh turned away, unable to hold back his laughter.
"So, Salman Khanji, how do you like your white sherwani?", Anamika finally asked ASR.
Arnav said, smiling slightly, "Very, very good."
Anamika nodded, her laugh lingering in her eyes.
"And Khushi's sari?"
"Out of this world.", he had to say. "Khushi is always beautiful, but now' today' she looks'", he shook his head, unable to find words.
"ASR speechless! That will do for now.", Anamika said without her usual hardness, smiling slightly at Arnav.

Highlight 2:
Anjali looked at the first photo under the heading 'Anamika's'.
Khushi was in her midnight blue sari & red blouse. Arnav was in a pure white sherwani that accentuated his dark looks and lean body.
It looked as though they were standing on a terrace in the moonlight, by a bower of fragrant flowers. Against the dark background, Arnav's sherwani shone as though it were made of pearls. Khushi stood leaning against him, her back to his front. His white sherwani and the lighting lent lustre to her sari and her silky skin. Her hair put up in a knot looked glossy, her eyes, made up professionally, looked dark and alluring with a hint of shyness in them, her slim arms and the full curves of her body were shown to perfection in Anamika's clothes. Arnav's head was bent towards her, as though he were hovering over her protectively. Part of his face was in darkness, highlighting his hooded eyes, his sharp nose, his stubborn chin, and the delectable line of his lips. He looked like temptation personified, like the very devil who had whispered something naughty in his beloved's ear and was savouring her blushes''. Khushi looked enthralled by him, trapped in his web of love'..
"Anamikaji'", Anjali said. "This photo'.. How can a photo reveal so much? How can it capture their feelings so well?"
Anamika smiled. "A photo can speak the truth' or hide the truth' if it is Ganesh Vidhyarti taking it."
