I know I'm late. Thank you guys for showing some patience. This is for Suri, my behana, who kept on pushing me to update, also a gift for Mumbina and her hubby...

Chap 3- Dil ka rishta jod diya hain...

"Saala, come fast... I'm nervous. Why can't you come at least a day before my engagement?" Arnav was talking with Aakash via phone. Aakash got very irritated with Arnav for calling him and begging him to come fast. He kinda felt good seeing this side of his bhai too... And his bhai pleading him to come fast was something which had never happened before.

"Bhai, this is the nth time I'm telling you that I would've come fast if any flight to India was vacant. It's just a matter of two days. And bhai, you're only getting engaged, your acting as though someone's gonna kill you. Take a chill pill and ya, another call, I swear you will be food of all the wolves in the planet Earth"

Arnav said goodbye and cut the phone. He, first time in his life, felt totally nervous. He wondered how Khushi was feeling at the moment.

Khushi was tired of trying all the dresses for her engagement. Arnavji could've sent one dress or at least of one type, but no. There were different dresses lying on her bed. Saaris, anarkalis, ghagras, dresses with Indian touch and name it. She decided to call Arnav. She knew it was forbidden but rules are made to be broken, right?

When Arnav read the caller ID, he freaked out. He immediately picked up,

"Hello, Khushi?"

"Hey, Amisha" Amisha?

"Khushi, I think you called the wrong number. It's Arnav here." Arnav answered her, quite disappointed.

"Haan Amisha, I'm fine. How are you? And you know what, Arnavji has sent me lot of dresses and I don't know which one to wear..." Khushi stressed the last sentence hoping that Arnav would understand.

"Accha, woh..." Arnav grinned at Khushi's incertitude situation.

"Chotey, with whom are you talking with?" Asked Anjali who had come there to call Arnav downstairs. She was dazed to find her kaddoos brother smiling.

"K...Karthick..." Arnav answered Anjali bewildered. "Karthick, I think you should go for red ones..."

"Karthick? (Khushi giggles) Red ones, OK, there are two ghagras one is red and white and the other one is red and blue. I don't want to wear sari for this, so it's a big no. As far as anarkali suits are concerned, there are three..."

"I know..." Arnav turned back to see if Anjali was there, but she was long gone. "Khushi, I personally like the red and white ghagra. If you like anything else, you sure can wear it."

"Wow, Ar.. Amisha, even I liked that one too. I'll defo wear it... Jiji, can you bring me some water please... Thanks... Jiji's downstairs, Arnavji, fatafat tell me what you're gonna wear."

"A black suit Sweetheart..."

Her heart racing after hearing a sweetheart from Arnav. If it had had legs, it would've won a marathon.

"Khushi? Are you still there?" Arnav broke her trance. He smirked a little when he got silence as reply. His sweetheart' definitely had some effect on her.

"Haan... Ya, I thought you were attending your engagement not a board meeting. Arnavji wear something... OMG, Jiji's coming. GTG, bye."

Khushi hung up the phone with a little blush. Payal who had arrived then, knew something fishy was going on. Payal checked Khushi's phone.

"Accha bacchu. Chori pakadi gayi..." Payal giggled and made another phone call.

The next day passed in a blink of an eye. That day was the day of their engagement, the day they'd be bonded with two rings on their fingers. Arnav did not know how to describe what he was feeling at that precise moment when he was standing in his house waiting for Khushi to come. Aakash would be so dead, for he hadn't reached yet. Aakash and Arnav shared a special. They were not bonded through the womb like Anjali and Arnav were, but during crisis, Arnav always sought for his support. Arnav was daring amongst them, but Arnav always gave in when his brother was angry. Not that being affianced was like crises, but a support will do. But all his thoughts came to a pause when he saw Khushi who approached him in the lehenga he had designed and with her doe shaped eyes twinkling. He forgot where he stood, the noise that was coming from nowhere in particular suddenly diminished, a strange feeling aroused in his chest, it felt warn, it felt beautiful.

Khushi's ghagra

One look of Arnav made her heart skip a beat. He looked ravishing in his black suit... Hmmm, so he still wore that. In spite of her telling, he still wore that. But his gaze made her anger melt away and made her knees go weak. This man was definitely the man of her dreams.

Arnav's suit

She paced to Arnav as fast as she could and stood before him with a dazzling smile.

"Beautiful..." was all Arnav could say. He earned a blush from Khushi, which made him loose his breath. He knew he was sounding like a

Mill &Boon heroine but yes, it isn't to hide such epithet. Anjali and Payal cleared their throat, gave them an evil smirk, and passed. They both exchanged a confused look. The pandit started the ceremony, not giving a chance for Arnav and Khushi the reason behind Anjali and Payal's expression. Arnav stood on his knees as he slipped a diamond ring on Khushi's finger. Khushi blushed a little as Arnav kissed her hand. The ceremony was peaceful until Payal took over.

"Anjali di, what punishment should be given to people who violate rules? That to those which were drawn by elders?" Payal's voice via mike drew attention of the crowd. Arnav and Khushi had an Uh-Oh expression on their faces.

"Hmmm, it should be stern PayalJi." Anjali pretended to be serious.

"But they are people we love na? So I feel it should be a sweet saza."

"Hmm, that's right. Our judge is ready with her verdict..."

Nani came on stage and whispered something to the couple. Khushi was elated and relived but Arnav's reaction was different.

"What the... Dance? Me? Not a chance..."

"OK, then you are not allowed to meet each other until the wedding."

"DJ, song please..." Arnav shouted from the stage.

Dil tu hi bata

Kahan tha chupa

Kyun aaj suni

Teri dhadkan pehli baar...(x2)

Haan dil ne mere

Sun li tere dil ki pukaar

Dil ki pukaar...

Arnav and Khushi swayed as the song was going on. Some how they were able to relate themselves with it.

Duniya jhooti lagthi hai

Sapna sachha lagtha hai

Chhup ke teri baahon mein

Sab kuch accha lagtha hain

Yeh aisi hawaa, Aisi lehar

Jis me saare beh jaate hain yahaan

Beh gayi main, Keh gayi main

Jo bhi mujhe kehna tha

Baahon mein falak hota hain

Jannat yeh zameen lagti hai

Kya pyaar mein yeh hota hain

Har cheez haseen lagthi hain

Arnav felt that those lines were true. Each and everything seemed beautiful around him. Maybe he was in...

Dil khona hi tha, hona hi tha...

Iss dil pe kisi ka bas hi kab chala

Chaili main, Chaili, Pyaar ki gali

Le ke wafa ki sadaayein..

There was a round of applause when they finished. Everybody found the couple very cute. By that time, Aakash also had arrived. He was happy to see his brother smile from heart. He went to his Bhabhi and Bhai as soon as they finished their dance.

"Bhabhi, you look very beautiful. Di described you right. This is for you." He took out a box of jewellery and gave it to her.

"Oye, forgot your brother huh?" Arnav faked anger and asked.

"Well, who are you?" Aakash asked Arnav and Khushi gave him hi5.

"My God, I have nobody to support me. Someone show me some grace." Arnav said in a rhetorical way.

"Don't worry Jijaji, saali hain aapki saath" Payal's voice came from nowhere. She came and stood in front of them. Anjali and Shyam too joined them. Somehow, Payal made Aakash smile from heart.

Hope you guys liked it... I will update the next parts regularly. I got admission in a college, and was busy shifting to hostel.
