Anjali gave shyam a shy glance and added, "you know payal, it's believed that the nerve of the ring finger is directly connected to the heart." Shyam grinned widely while arnav rolled his eyes on hearing such a stupid logic.
Payal noticed that khushi's ring finger was empty so questioned," bhabhi, why aren't you wearing your ring, didn't bhai give you one?"
Khushi immediately covered her ring finger with her other hand and spoke in defense of Arnav," you're aware that we got married in a hurry so didn't get the time to exchange rings." Everyone around seemed convinced with her reasoning except for shyam who poked in purposely," where there is love there's no place for such lame excuses like lack of time and all."
His remark didn't go down well with the family especially arnav who clenched his jaws hard, had shyam not been his brother in law he would have seriously repented what he said. Khushi too lowered her eyes to hide away her pain.
Arnav stepped forward and took out the gold ring from his little finger then held khushi's hand in his and slipped it into her ring finger. Everybody clapped in joy while arnav flared his nostrils and shot an angry glare at shyam shutting him up completely.
