"You know what, Lavanya? I just don't believe this. My would-be-wife decided upon her Maid of Honour without even consulting me." Arnav threw his jacket on the bed while his left hand started loosening his grey tie.
Lavanya hugged him from behind and placed her cheeks on his back. "Baby, please! It's our wedding. I am the bride, so don't you think it's only fair that I choose my Maid of Honour?"
Arnav released himself from her clutches and turned to face her. "Look, Lavanya! Have you ever seen me poking my nose in your matters? No, right? But are you serious about this? You want Khushi to be the Maid of Honour out of so many friends?" He said distancing her yet holding her hand.
"I knew it, Arnav! I knew that you wouldn't approve and that is exactly why I took this decision. She is my best friend and out of all the people whom you are mentioning, she is the only one who has the right to become the Maid of Honour. And it is my wedding as well, Arnav and I have the equal right to decide on what I want!" Lavanya announced in that tone of finality as she crossed her arms and turned her back towards Arnav.
Arnav came near her and back hugged her. "Are you sure, darling, you want to do this? Upsetting me?" He said in a low voice, knowing it was pointless discussing the matter further with Lavanya as she was just as stubborn as him by nature.
"You are upsetting your bride, Arnav".
Arnav turned her so that now, they were face to face, "Really?" He said in a seducing tone, "Should I do something to light up your mood?" he said looking at her lips seductively.
He leaned slowly to kiss her but Lavanya stops him by putting her finger on his lips, "Yes, allow Khushi to be the Maid of Honour".
Urgh! Stubbornness!! Arnav thought.
"Urgh! For God's sake, stop taking her name, Lavanya. You have to make the most hated person as the Maid of Honour".
"Fine! I quit then. Marry someone else".
"Don't be ridiculous, Lavanya. You know I hate her the most". There was an uncertainly in his tone, which Lavanya recognized but chose to ignore.
"That's your problem, Arnav, not mine. I never asked you to hate her. You chose to hate her. But she is my best friend and I am not deviating from my decision".
Arnav pulled her towards him and snaked his arms around her petite waist, "When is she arriving?"
"Oh my God, you agreed? Oh my God! I can't believe this".
"Do I have a choice?"
"No" Lavanya giggled.
"Fine".
Lavanya hugged him back, "Thank you so much, baby". She pulled out of the hug and quickly pecked his rusty cheeks him before leaving his room.
"I wanted a proper kiss", Arnav protested.
"You would get it in the alter now, Arnav. Have patience!" She said and flew off.
Arnav looked at her retreating back and sighed.
"Khushi Kumari Gupta, I can't believe that I have to see your face once again".
