Part-16 Wedding ceremony is over and reception starts and when Khushi is there then, it has to be a blast.
Khushi has dragged everyone except Arnav, Anjali and Shyam, to the dance floor.
Everyone seems enjoying.
Arnav too is looking cool and happy though after much insistence also he has been adamant in not coming to the dance floor.
The music comes to a sudden halt. Every head turns to the corner where the band has been playing to find the reason. Instead they find Khushi standing there holding a microphone and smiling. When she manages to get everyone's attention, even Arnav raises an eyebrow in surprise to see her there... she speaks looking at Anjali's direction who is smiling fondly to her, "Di aur Shaym ji, ye sirf aap ke liye meri tarf se dil se..."(Di and Shyam ji this is only for you from my side, from my heart...) and she sings... (the musicians play along with her)...
jo pehle hua naa (she smiles, Arnav looks amused when her voice echoes in the hall) ab hone lagaa hai,
dil humko jagaa kar, kyun sone lagaa hai, (she walks)
yeh ishq hai yaa kuch aur hai, ya bas khaali-khaali shorr hai, (she goes to Anjali and Shyam and sings smiling at them.)
isko main kya kahun, tu hi bataa...tu hi bataa (she looks at each face before her)
iss pyaar ko kyaa naam doon? iss pyaar ko kya naam doon??
every pair joins the dance floor for a romantic dance on this romantic tune. Khushi brings Anjali and Shyam too.
tujhko dekh kar, aankhein muskuraane lagti hain,
tujhko milkar dhadkane gungunaanein lagti hai,
For reason unknown Arnav's whole attention is taken by the girl before him, who's voice seems to him like the drops of water in vast desert.
aesaa hota hai kyun, mujhko khabar nahi,
pehle kabhi hua aesa asarr nahin,
when she sings the lines Anjali comes to her and holds her hand along with Arnav who is standing behind. Both look at her questioningly when she pairs them for dance. Somehow Arnav doesn't back out rather he holds the mike for her as she fumbles with her steps because of her lahenga and gets trouble to manage the speaker and the skirt both. If Khushi is beyond astonish, she composes herself to finish the song. She sings this last part while swaying with Arnav , who looks mesmerized in her beauty and mostly in her eyes...
jo mere dil ke paas hai, naye jaadu naye ehsaas,
aese mein kya karun...kya karun, tu hi bataa,
iss pyaar ko kyaa naam doon? iss pyaar ko kya naam doon??... Little continuation of fast part with the orchestra and the song ends with a huge round of applaud. Even Arnav joins his hands making her speechless.

The wedding Party ends in the happiest note possible.
Payel and Khushi escorts Anjali to her room for the wedding night and after a little bit of teasing they leave the newly wed couple alone.
All members of the family retire for the night exhausted to their respective rooms.
Khushi enters in their room. A sweet smile is playing on her lips.
In her Dj vu, she doesn't notice Arnav sitting there on recliner.
Arnav on the other hand has been reading a file when he hears her footsteps. He looks up and sees a lost Khushi smiling in her thought.
Ahem!!... he tries to get her attention.
Startled out of her trance she looks up to find Arnav looking at her.
You sang well... Arnav appreciates her.
She stares him bewildered as if he has grown horns on his head.
In these 4-5 days, other than scolding or criticizing and without necessity, he never has tried to interact with her, and there this appreciation is totally a shock for her poor heart.
When Arnav doesn't see any acknowledgement for his appreciation he gets irked and in an effort to keep his calm, his lips come to a thin line and he blinks away for a second before look back to her again ... ahem... ahem!!!
Now Khushi mumbles in an inaudible voice... shukriya... (Thank you)
Arnav- what?
She composes herself and clearing her voice says, thank you again, this time audibly and runs towards the bathroom and hurriedly locks herself in the bathroom.
Arnav watches her speed little shocked and mutters to himself... unbelievable!!
Khushi comes after changing in her night cloths. and finds Arnav still sitting on the recliner. He seems too engrossed and though she is tired beyond limit, she decides to wait for him till he moves to bed to sleep.
10- 15 mins pass. Khushi is seating by the pool side and feeling too sleepy.
Unable to keep awake any longer she slowly approaches to tell Arnav to move.
Wo Arnvji... Khushi starts meekly.
Hmm... Arnav does not look up.
Khushi gathers her courage, Wo Arnavji hume bohot nind aa rahi hai. (Oh, Arnav ji I am feeling very sleepy)
Then go to sleep, Arnav replies reluctantly. His eyes are still glued on the file.
Now Khushi gets a little irked. what is it with him can't he understand what she is trying to say hence she spells the words, agar aap yeha baithe rahenge to hum kaise soyenge. (If you sit here then how will I sleep?)
Arnav gets equally frustrated and looks up and barks... what the...? Then angrily adds, kaise matlab?(what do you mean by how?) Can't you see the bed? Go and sleep damn it.
Khushi faces a great difficulty to digest what he says. As her eyes widen in shape of saucers and her mouth fall open, she stutters... huh... hu...hum... bed pe...lekin kaise... mera matlab hum bed pe kaise so sakte hai. (How can I sleep on the bed?)
Utterly frustrated Arnav sighs making a whistling sound and then says his usual what the ...? before picking her up in his arms and depositing her on the bed with a thud. Then he says gritting his teeth... aaise? (Like this) Now don't try my patience and go to sleep before I do something. he threatens.
A Khushi, who is still trying to register what just happened catches his last warning fast, which makes her go under the blanket as a turtle hides itself in its shell.
After a few second or two she peeps out and finds Arnav's still standing by the bed eyes fixed on her. she returns to her previous position for the whole night.
A loapsided smile appears on Arnav's face as he mentally pats himself, Job accomplished.

Next morning Khushi wakes up after a good and comfortable night sleep and finds Arnav in front on the recliner sleeping uncomfortably. A file is still lying on his chest. Khushi remembers about last night and mutters, "Laad Governor".
She steps out of the bed and goes to him. She never has had a chance to have a good look at him. So as he sleeps peacefully she stares at him for a long moment. She has known for a fact that he is handsome but his rudeness always has created repulsion in her, making her run away from him on first chance.
But today when she has got the chance she notices many things about him. He is good looking and flawless beauty alright, but what attracts her is look of innocence in his sleep rather than the crude facade he always wears. Her eyes moves from his face to his body. He is perfect in that section too with a good height.
Well he has enough to make any girl can fall for him. there is no doubt about that and not to mention he is the owner of 1 of the top fashion house.
Khushi wonders when she got so lucky or unlucky to have him as her husband for 3 months.
As Arnav moves in his sleep Khushi comes out of her trance. She shakes her head to get rid of her stupid thoughts. She efficiently chases the thoughts away from her mind but it takes a few moment for her to get her heart beat under control. She recalls her Devi Mayiaa and covers him with a blanket before leaving to get freshen up.
Khushi comes out of the wash room and finds Arnav in the same position. He might has slept late. She silently slips out of the door.
It is 8:30 and Arnav is still not up.
Khushi becomes worried unknowingly and excuses herself from the family, who already have asked for him quite many times, and goes to their room with a cup of coffee. Well she has another reason for her worry as she doesn't want anyone to find him sleeping on the recliner.
She opens the door to find a sleeping Arnav. She keeps the cup on the coffee table beside him and calls him softly, Arnav ji uthiye, bohot der ho gayi hai... (Arnav ji wake up, you are getting late.)... she whispered in his ear.
Arnav just turns his head to other side.
She calls out again this time a little louder, "Arnavji saare aanth baj gaye hai." (Arnav ji it is already 8:30.)
This time it works and he opens his eyes to find a beautiful face hovering upon him with a frown marring on her face.
Arnav's gaze gets fixed with her and this time Khushi cannot look away.
They could have passed infinite time like this and this closeness could have turned up into something interesting like a kiss but the blasted phone of Arnav starts ringing furiously alarming them (guess whose?).
Khushi straightens herself and looks away little embarrassed but turns next moment hearing a "Thaaan.." followed by an "ahha !!"
Arnav whose condition has been no better than Khushi, bangs his left hand on the smoking hot coffee cup, in an attempt to pick the call in hurry.
Khushi's eyes dart from his hand which he is holding to his face which is scrunched in pain.
In no time she brings a mug full of cold water from the wash room and then without any hesitation grabs his hand and puts it in the water.
Arnav opens his mouth to say a what the, but it gets stuck in his throat as he stares at her worried face. Worried for him, an automatic smile spreads on his lips with that thought. Arnav watches amused as her face looks adorable with the cute frown of worry while she mutters something like...
Hume maaf kar dijiye. Hume aapko jalane ka koi irada nehi tha. Humari galti hai humne cup table pe chor diye... (I am sorry. Forgive me. My fault that I left the cup on the table) and she keeps on blabbering...
Though he knows she is apologizing for no reason but his ego doesn't let him to soothe her tension.
Arnav jerks as he feels a burning sensation in his hand.
Khushi has taken out the hand from water and is applying some ointment when she senses his discomfort and looks up to consoles him, "abhi thori der me jalan kam ho jayega."(It will cool down in no time)
The soothing words makes him smile and he comforts her in return for the first time, I am fine Khushi, Don't worry too much, in husky voice.
Khushi is too shocked to react for few seconds and then she springs up from her seat beside him and says in a hurry, hum doosra coffee leke atain hain (I am coming with aanother cup of coffee) and just vanishes through the door.
Arnav says amusingly "mad girl".
When Arnav comes out of the wash room he finds a steaming cup of coffee on table. But what catches his eyes that the cup is not a usual one. It has a sorry written on it, in printing.
He smiles (yep! again) and says shaking his head "pagal"(mad) and starts dressing for office.
Well if he would have noticed himself on mirror that time, he would have seen his expression which has looked akin to fondness and that too for the girl he claim he hates.
