***********************************************************************************
Khushi's wedding was arranged in a hurry but all of her wishes came true.Her groom was waiting for her at alter and she was brought to sit right next to him covered her face a bit under side veil...till he filled her forehead with Sindoor and encircled her neck with manglasutre ...when her eyes met with his and she recognized him..."No It can't be" her mind was stirring with different thoughts during seven pheras...till her head started spinning and she lost her balance but two strong arms were ready to hold her...
Khushi was mumbling with her closed eyes...fighting against her sleep" Where are you taking me ? I don't want to go anywhere ? Why do you want me to marry you? I just don't...want...to go with you... What will everyone think if I marry you?"
Her lips continued quivering till she got fainted in his arms...

Khushi opened her eyes slowly seeing two pair of chocolate eyes fixed at him. The depth of which was just pulling her towards themselves. He looked like a prince charming by his looks and outfit. She got pulled by this enchanted spell of his aromatic presence around her that she completely disregarded her unfamiliar surroundings.
Prince Charming just leaned down at her and kissed her forehead and came to her face while raising his eye brows ,"Hi! My name is Prince Arnav ...Who are you and how did you get stuck here?"... and started caressing down her chubby cheek with his index finger ... kept continuing his sweet torture ... till he slid his hands under her so gently to pick her up in his arms when she realized her surroundings.
Khushi moved her neck left to right swiftly with her round "O" shaped lips and big eyes...seeing a fairies passing by her in a blink of an eye spreading dust of sprinkling lights. Her eyes stopped again at his lost expression fixed at her ...A smiling Prince Arnav was lost at her innocent yet cute face making gestures,
"What's your name ?
Khushi asked him by gulping down the strange effect over his proximity and ignoring his inquiries in his huskily voice ,
"Arnavji ! What this place is?
He kept walking without losing his gazes at her ,"Why did you call me Arnav...ji ?My name is Prince Arnav...not this Ji...I mean Arnavji...but it sounded really good in your sweet voice .This place is my future Kingdom...after my father...but this area is mine...I rule here...It is called "AODH Kingdom"... [ in Irish Mythlogy it means Fire] ...you still didn't answer my question...What is your name?"
Khushi kept looking at him with the same O shaped expression with her wider eyes this time after hearing all of this from him and starting mumbling " So I am in some fairy land where a prince is holding me in his arms for real and fairies are sprinkling lights like stars from the sky...every where I can see happiness and hear soft giggles... the lights and ...and ...and ...I am here in between all...but how? Hey DeviMaiya...if this is a dream then don't make it as a morning one so it could become true..." she hit her head to jolt her up from all of this "Khushi ! Buaji is right...you are crazy for Real..."
Khushi was loud enough to make him chuckle," You are way sweeter and real than any dream ... Khushi!...Is that your name? you are the only one who made me laugh after years and those giggles from these fairies which you are hearing is because they all are happy seeing me happy in years...especially after yesterday...because ...and his voice became heavy and hoarse with pain ...enveloped in anguish but he hid it while turning his face to the other side .He climbed up his castle and laid her down on a spacious bed in a lavishing room ...which looked like his bedroom...
Khushi sat down seeing him going out of the room...She wanted to ask many things from him but he disappeared in a gif ...Suddenly she noticed her dress...a white beautiful laced dress with sprinkled dust of small stars sequined in between the lace embedded with heart shaped embroidery .
She was not looking less than a princess herself...She was feeling this softness of the thread while her smile spreading lights around this room .Two fairies brought her fruits and sweets as Prince's command...
Khushi's happiness grew bigger seeing her favorite sweets .She takes one bite of Jalaibi keeping it in between her lips ...by closing her eyes ...tasting the most deliciousness ever...totally being unaware of Prince's eyes which were devouring her beauty every second. His eyes glimmered one more time seeing the most desirous smile ever . Each time she smiled...a dust of sprinkling lights spread like fire around her surroundings but this light was bringing peace within him and he remembered last night when his anger which always ignited fire in his surrounded ...had indeed hurt someone...and that made him stepped out of the castle swiftly...
Khushi turned around feeling something passed by but got disappointed ...her heart was expecting someone...might be...she didn't know...She was in her befuddled thoughts when her eyes caught two pair of eyes of Tinker bell ,looking at her strangely which soon got company by a flashing bee who was way angrier than the fairy and he came right next to her shoulder and asked million question in one breath..."My name is Blaze...and who are you? Where did you come from? Who sent you here? Are you spying on our Prince and his AODH Kindom ? What kind of magic did you use to make him laugh? He is fire like me and I preferred him the way he is ...you better not change his heart because that is pure gold...Answer me Dammit!!!
And What did he call her?...by saying that he looked at Tinker bell...
Tinker looked back at Blaze in her annoyance and mimicked in Arnav's voice "Khushi! Is that your name? What kind of a name is that? I never heard any princess of such name...Now answer Princess Khushi of No where...or some where which doesn't belong from here...Are you a witch? Because if you are then we both are more than enough to vanquish you"
Khushi was looking at them with the same O shaped expression with wide eyes...and tried to bring her words out of her mouth but couldn't...her quivering lips just move being unable to shape up any words in between.
Tinker Bell and Blaze leaned forward..."Is that the only expression you know? No worries we'll teach you more ...like this ..." Blaze put his hands on his hip and frowned...
Khushi jumped up on the bed ..."No No ..not like that...this is better...and she put her hands on her hips and frowned better than Blaze..."...see...I know this one...and smiles at her own actions...
Blaze and Tinker shared a deep look...when Tinker flew around while dusting around and raised her eye brow to see Khushi's action in return...
Khushi laughed while clapping like a child seeing Tinker's remarkable performance...sprinkling flashing lights around her...which made Tinker and Blaze to open their mouths like an O shaped with wide eyes...
Khushi leaned and spoke with her softest voice ever ,"See...we learned from each other very well so from today we will be friends ...What say?"
Tinker's eyes mellowed down seeing so much innocence in her with such honest actions...but Blaze revealed the biggest realization as a bomb for Tinker..."So her innocent smile and his laughing in the deep jungle was sprinkling lights which illuminated this whole kingdom...together they become one light..."
