ArHi SS: Humsafar

Chapter 6

Khushi has never been scared in her entire life. Whatever she did and believed, she always held her chin up in pride and self-respect. But as they say, there must be something you should be scared of if you are a human, she would pin-point to this moment.

Accustomed to leading a very simple life and never bothered about wearing designer clothes and expensive jewelleries, she frighteningly looked at her reflection and her eyes trailed on the two ladies doing her make-up. She was never used to putting layers of make-up on her face and to assure the same, she had strictly instructed them to keep it light and minimal lest they want to choke her up with tons of make-up on her face.

As they were done with her make-up, she stood up and moved to pick her dress from bed. It was a crimson red and royal blue, sequined trousseau with intricate white- pearl work done on the border. The dress looked so beautiful and delicate that Khushi picked it up with extreme care. Her fingers trailed on the soft fabric slowly, feeling its texture.

She went in the bathroom and wore it quickly. Her hands held the criss-cross dori of her red choli as she walked backward in the room, asking for the help assigned to her to tie it up.

She almost jumped up in air as she felt a rough hand brushing over her bare back. Her heart started racing as her breath labored. She glanced back quickly and her breathe hitched seeing Arnav standing behind her, his shirt unbuttoned.

Finally, her husband was home.

"Arnavji..." She whispered, not knowing what else to say, her hand holding the choli from front.

"Sorry for being late sweetheart. I sent the ladies out of our room as I had to get ready. You would not want them to see me getting ready, do you?" She could feel him smiling, his teasing tone hiding nothing. She stood there simply, not saying anything. What the hell was she supposed to say to the person who knew her inside-out now?

"Let me tie them." Arnav offered generously, lazily tying the dories and brushing his knuckles over her bare back at the every available opportunity.

He smiled as she gasped every time his hand touched her back.

"Arnavji, what are you doing?" Khushi faintly questioned Arnav, already lost in his magical touch on her burning skin.

"What? I am just trying to help you." Arnav answered, looking oh-so-innocent as Khushi looked at him through the mirror. Her eyes narrowed at him showing her displeasure at being teased right now.

As Arnav finished tying the dories, Khushi quickly stepped away from him almost running away, ignoring the way he chuckled at her. They needed to get ready for the party quickly and if she knew her husband now, she knew it was the last thing in his mind right now.

She walked to the dressing table, opening the velvet rectangular box to take out a diamond-rubies necklace that her mother-in-law has gifted her for the party.

As she wore it and stretched her hand to the back to fasten it, she was startled to see Arnav's hand brushing hers away, already fastening it around her neck.

"Running away, are we?" He smirked, teasing her again.

"N...N...No..." She protested feebly, meeting his gaze through the mirror. She gasped loudly the next moment, as Arnav turned her around making her fall on his bare chest.

Her hands fisted his shirt as Arnav leaned, nuzzling his nose on her neck making her squirm. She closed her eyes as he trailed kisses to her neck while murmuring "you look so beautiful, Khushi."

Her hand fisted the back of his shirt's collar pulling his head up "Arnavji, please stop. We need to get ready."

Arnav frowned not liking what she has said right now. He agreed half-heartedly as Khushi looked at him with hopeful eyes, making a puppy face.

He moved to button his shirt when Khushi pecked his cheek quickly, rising on her tip-toes and smiled "thank you."

Arnav couldn't help but smile back at her, his complaints already forgotten.

__________________________________________________________

The reception party venue was decorated with flowers, different colored streamers and red-yellow drapes, along with fairy lights. The air was thick with scented perfume as a gentle murmur arose with peoples present there chatting with each other.

Everything screamed perfection and classy, depicting Raizada's fine taste and preferences.

As they stood at the entrance of the venue, Khushi moved closer to Arnav feeling nervous. Sensing her nervousness, Arnav pulled her closer gripping her hand with his in assurance. Squeezing it gently, he smiled "It's going to be okay Khushi."

Khushi rolled her eyes. How can he know what it feels to be the better half of the CEO of India's biggest fashion house when she know dozen pair of eyes were on her, waiting for any opportunity to criticize her?

Arnav leaned closer to her as if sensing the battle going on in her mind, tucked a loose tendril behind her ear as he whispered huskily "Hey it doesn't matter what others think about you. People will always find a fault in you no matter how hard you try to prove otherwise. For you, what should matter is what you see in my eyes."

Khushi's eyes snapped up to his in surprise. His eyes were twinkling down at her, brimming with love and affection for her. As she stared in his eyes, she realized that for him, she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

That only she mattered to him.

"Alright you two, stop your eye talk and move ahead." They heard a voice from behind accompanied with a snigger, totally ruining their moment.

They looked back to see Payal and Akash together as Payal sniggered and Akash smirked teasingly at them.

"I don't know what sins I have committed in my previous birth to get a brother and a sister-in-law cum best friend like you two." Arnav whined making Payal and Akash laugh as Khushi's eyes widened.

"Trust me brother, the feeling is mutual." Akash replied feigning a look of pity on his face making Arnav snort.

"You two are just unbelievable." Arnav said haughtily pulling Khushi closer, already looking ahead.

As they stepped together on the rose-petals covered path carved especially for them, everyone present in the party turned to look at the couple.

"Just look ahead and smile." Arnav whispered to Khushi, his hand moving to her waist, pulling her, making her stumble a bit and hold his forearm.

Dressed in crimson red-royal blue trousseau with her hairs pulled in a bun as a white-blue duppatta covered her head, Khushi looked nothing less than a goddess, dressed to win people's attention and hearts.

As she turned to look at Arnav, who looked extremely handsome in blue Jodhpuri suit with white shirt tucked underneath and his hairs gelled back, everyone held their breath.

Magical', it was the only word they all can come up with. Everyone rushed to congratulate them as they both smiled at each other before looking ahead.

They played the role of perfect couple effortlessly, thanking everyone for coming and conversing with every friend and relative, tolerating Akash and Payal's teasing comments in between. Nitish and Nitya Raizada looked on proudly at their twin sons and daughter-in-laws, feeling content after seeing their children happy and together.

"Here drink this. You must be thirsty." Handing her a glass of orange juice, Arnav sat next to her. They both were sitting now, relaxing after interacting with everyone present in the party feeling tired.

Smiling gratefully at him, Khushi took the glass, sipping it.

"So how was it? You perfectly gelled with everyone I think." Arnav asked, staring intently at Khushi.

"Yeah, it wasn't that bad." Khushi agreed, looking back at Arnav.

"See everything isn't that bad. Once you get used to being in the limelight, everything will look normal to you." Arnav tried to make her feel at ease.

"I know Arnavji but I am not used to it." Khushi confessed sincerely, looking down.

"You don't need to worry about it. I am here with you." Keeping his hand over her on the table, Arnav smiled tenderly at Khushi, thinking how similar they both are.

"Now can I have a dance with my wife?" Arnav asked seductively, bringing his hand forward.

Khushi blushed, slipping her hand into his. Sparing her no moment, Arnav pulled her up making her hold onto him tightly.

Looking at each other, they moved towards the empty dance floor. As it is customary that the newly married couple should dance before any other couple could, everyone looked at them and clapped, gathering around. The lights dimmed down a bit the moment Arnav and Khushi stepped on the dance floor.

As the first note of the song began, Arnav turned to Khushi keeping his hand on her waist while holding Khushi's hand with the other near his heart. He moved eliminating any space between them, staring down at her with a smile.

Khushi held onto his shoulder, gripping his hand tightly with her feeling nervous. She never danced with a guy before, not to forget everyone's eyes were on them only.

Dancing slowly with Arnav, Khushi gasped as Arnav dipped taking her along with him, making her hand move to his cheek while her other hand moved to his back.

He twirled her around gently before pulling her closer, making her crash against his chest and then moving along with her gently on the soft music.

As he turned her around, her back colliding with his front, he caressed her bare waist, his cold fingers teasing her, making her shiver.

"I think it's the right time to tell you." He whispered as he spun her around, his hands grabbing her waist fiercely as she wound her arms around his neck, looking at him with questioning eyes.

For them, nothing existed except each other right now. The chemistry between them was sizzling, burning the dance floor.

"I love you, Khushi." Arnav whispered which sounded more like a prayer to her ears, brushing his nose with hers.

And Khushi forgot to breathe.
