OS:Mehendi - aap ki haath mein kiska naam likoon?

Hi folks..I was watching the SBS video and this idea crossed my mind and I ended up writing an OS. Do read and comment.

Mehendi..aap ki haath mein kiska naam likoon?

It is the day after the sangeeth ceremony. Khushi woke up after a restless sleep ..before she opened her eyes she felt as if her laad governor had his arm around her waist n her eyes flew open in alarm!she scrambled out of her bed as she really felt a hand on her! In her haste fell on to the floor tangled in a bed sheet n cried 'ow'as her back connected with the floor! But she still quickly tried to stand up only to trip over her feet and land on the floor once again to see if that laad governor was actually on her bed again! And as she was finally managing to get on to her feet she looked up to see a worried Payal looking at her with wide eyes.

'Khushi what is this? How did u end up on the floor?' for which khushi just mumbled 'humme laga who laad governor'' n Payal says 'Why r u mumbling laad governor laad governor early in the morning?' what happened?

'kuch nahi jiji..' she looks at the clock and squeels jiji we r late we have to get ready to go to the mehendi!!

And they get ready n get to RM. Payalwalks ahead and goes in to the house and Khushi after having paid the autowala also follows. And as she gets to the door, her dhak dhak starts all over again n Khushi stops..

'Hay Devmayya what is this..woh laad governor is not here..so what is this?' she mutters n walks in only to collide with a chest..n she lost her balance n with the weight of her bags she was about to fall back when a strong pair of arms slid around her waist and stopped her from falling.. she slowly opened her eyes to see her back in her laad governor's arms n she quickly looked at his face and turned a cherry red when she realized he was completely looking at her face..she tried to get herself lose..n with all the bags in her hand it seems a tough task. Until he slowly released her. She looked at his face and was startled to see a smile. And she stared in shock! Laad governor was smiling again! And twice in two consecutive days at that!n that is when her dhak dhak started all over again n she was left staring in to those eyes that seemed to have her feet glued to the floor! And he slowly came towards her and said 'Khushi'..No response..his smirk widened.. 'KHUSHI!' he said loudly..still no response..his smirk widened even more if it was possible..n he leaned to her ear n shouted 'Khushi!' n Khushi jumped a mile n almost dropped her bags realizing her laad governor was standing so close to her!

Arnav chuckled at her lost state and asked slowly 'Khushi I have something of urs. Do u want it back?' she looked at him blankly trying to figure out what just happened to her. And said 'huh?' 'do u want it Khushi?' and khushi slowly realized he was asking her something n with a great effort focused her mind to what he was telling n said 'kya' n he slowly put his hand in to his pocket out n brought out her missing earring from yesterday. N when she was too dazed to take it and stared as if in a trance, he slowly picked her hand making her start and brought it up to their face level n gently placed the earring on her outstretched palm.

'thank u nahi bolege Khushi?u seem to need to tell me that a lot now a days' Khushi simply mumbles 'shukria' and arnav asks 'Khushi u r also applying mehendi today right? I have heard that the darker the color of mehendi on a girls hand the more her life partner loves her. What do u think? Is it true?' Khushi by now hardly heard anything except for the tiny circles he seemed to be making on her outstretched palm. And all of a sudden Payal's voice called out 'Khushi! What r u doing? Did u bring in all the bags? We r getting late come quickly!' Khushi came out of her trance as Arnav left her hand and casually leaned back against the wall and looked at her face while she stumbled over her words as she called out 'aayi jiji' and she as she quickly started to make her way, she heard his voice asking her 'is that true Khushi?' and she realized she didn't answer his question n stopped n turned to look at him n almost whispered 'haan' n quickly left towards her waiting sister.

Mehendi ceremony started and the bridal mehendi was applied on her jiji's hands as she looked on and sang with Anjaliji all the mehendi songs while playing the dhol. She was also feeding her sister as her hands were filled with mehendi. And then after a while of singing Anjali said to Khushi 'Khushi u also better start applying mehendi on ur hands! We have all gotten started on ours n u were walking around helping everyone until now. Go n sit down now. After all u r the adhi garwali!' Khushi giggled n agreed. And as she looked around for a place to sit, she realized all the nearby places on the mats were taken. So she asked Anjaliji whether it was ok if she got hers done while sitting on the sofa nearby to which Anjali happily agreed. And then Khushi walked with a mehendiwala to the sofa and they picked a design started applying it in both her hands. Khushi wasthinking in her head about what Arnavji had asked her. And yes she has always heard of it and her mother also had said that her mehendi was very dark and that was because her dad loved her so much..And she was reminiscenting her mother's words as well as what she heard in the morning. After filling most of her palm except for the middle she was asked if she wants any name written in her palms. And Khushi mumbled 'Arnavji' without realizing what she was doing she was still thinking of that morning. And finally the mehendi was done and Khushi stood up still not having seen the design in her hands as she was too distracted.

And she thanked the lady and walked over to her jiji and anjalidi where jiji's design was still being applied as it was going all the way up her hands. And Khushi sat down next to them and joined in the singing again n started chatting as usual. It was some hours later when Anjaliji mentioned that 'Oh chote must have come back from office by now' and at that Khushi's dhak dhak started back again. And she remembered the morning again and blushing she looked at her palms only to hyperventilate when she realized what was on her palms! It had Arnavji written in among the beautiful design around the center of her palm! And she paled as she realized what she said when the mehendi lady asked her a question! She didn't pay attention and now what was she going to do?

And her dhak dhak increased in speed so much so Khushi forgot to breath and scrambled to her feet to fun off and wash it off before anyone else saw it. And a worried Anjali and Payal looked at Khushi and asked 'Khushi is something wrong?' "wrong?kuch nahi!kuch bhi toh nahi!"said a frantic Khushi. 'then where r u going?' 'to the kitchen jiji' 'but Khushiji the kitchen is in this side.' Khushi then looked around her and said 'oh I forgot' and ran towards the kitchen. And when she got there saw that the 3 Prakashs and mamiji was already there. And decided she couldn't wash it here and walked back across the living room to go to the bathroom and replied the same when anjaliji asked. 'Oh Khushiji go to the second floor bathroom in one of the rooms cz the ground floor one the plumbing is being fixed' and Khushi slowly walked upstairs and stopped out of the laad governor's room only to have it open in her face as he stepped out of the room. She stood there rooted to the spot as a deer caught in headlights and stared. And she then heard that sound again! As she looked up startled at his face to see him chuckling again. And he leaned toward her asking where she was going. And she automatically answered saying to wash his name. And he asked 'what?' And then Khushi came out of her trance and stared at him realizing the blunder she made and started stammering.. 'nahi nahi..kuch nahi..apka naam nahi!hamara naam naam..' while he stared at her looking all cute and flustered up.. 'kya hua khushi?what did u do?'and at the same time held her from her elbow and guided her in to his room when his eyes fell on the design on her palms. And his smirk deepened and he pulled Khushi towards him after closing the door behind him. And when Khushi's voice spluttered 'aap..aap yeh kya kar rahe ho?..' and he put his arms around her from behind and held her hands near her wrists and whispered 'khushi yeh kya he?' 'kya'kuch nahi kuch bhi nahi' 'hmm'so this is nothing?ha? then why did u write laad governor in ur palms?' 'kya? I didn't write laad governor! I asked her to write Arnavji!' said Khushi without thinking. And then looked on in horror at what she has done and said with eyes as big as saucepans while starring at Arnav in shock..

Arnav started to chuckle at her slip and slowly brought her back against him and started nuzzling her neck while caressessing her waist until he felt Khushi hyperventilating again and reluctantly stopped as he felt her stop breathing. And he leaned forward and nuzzled her ear and quietly whispered 'let them be..' Khushi whispered 'what?..' to which he replied 'Don't wash the hands..' and with a smirk left her standing shell shocked as he opened the door and walked out of his room.
