Part 3

Before Arnav could start the common pleasantries with the girl ,who was silent since they arrived, Anjali and Payal barged in as Shanghai Malveg, the fastest train with a speed of 430km/h interrupting the hii, he was about to say.

"Aunty, Don't you think these people need a room to talk in private , as here we all are noisy and may disturb them" waiting for answer from Garima ,Anjali stepped towards Arnav and holding his shoulder to make him feel comfortable. How she always understand the words that never came out of his mouth and excogitate a way to lessen the anxiety, hidden in his unspoken words.

"Jarur se bitiya.." (For sure..baby) agreed Garima with a affectionate smile on her face.

Within next few seconds Arnav stepped in a fabulously feminine girly bedroom, where all walls were painted in a pale red color, making him feel like being in Pink city Jaipur analyzing the color, as pretty much things were skinned in pink except the mahogany bed and set of chair and table, making the small space a dame's bedroom, simply cozy and comfortable, not taking a lot efforts for making it beautiful. The simplicity of the room was what snapped his attention, from the radium star spruced flat roof, must be shining on the glistened floor like stars walk in the night. This was his Kaleidoscope imagination of her room.

The centre of the room was occupied with an old design 6 by 4 heavy legged mahogany bed with white gauze mosquito net draped across its canopy, concealed with a floral color bedspread, more than enough for her delicate chassis . The headboard sides of the bed were occupied by camarillo 2 drawer nightstands with Merlot finishing, mounted by ball bearing metal grips. As his eyes keep rotating with every degree, the next focus on her closet make his eyes noticeably rounder , larger, and whiter in surprise, or was it his attachment that brings to his imagination, the best of closet in pink hue in the room. He was wonder struck that how could a closet be so attractive in pink? Was it his imagination or was it in real? The wall feeling the hard touch of the door was all covered with beautiful memories of Khushi , starting from her childhood to her teen and the latest one holding a degree on her convocation.

These pictures cleared the dust of image, Arnav was imagining of Khushi , as a silent nonchalant girl, which is nowhere to what the frames were speaking silently.

Khushi, escorted by Payal after some seconds left the couple to settle on the fauteuils comfortably, to share their shyness to open themselves for steping in a new relation, soon going to tie them together, but not before taking sweet revenge from Khushi by teasing her for her helplessness.

As Arnav was busy in admiring the room, in this meanwhile Khushi rested her eyes momentarily on him and look away coyly as she notices his looks, observing his good looking face more specifically every features from his small gelled hairs to his brown eyes, like heavily planking down honey, a small scar on his left eye revealing his lineaments more distinctly with a day old stubble which may prick enough ,the one who come in contact with lower part of his face and not missing a small mole on his left cheek , like god himself gave a protection from evil eye. Below few centimeters from his manly chin was his Adam's apple conspicuously moving up and down in anxiety and surprise.

"Nice room!" said Arnav with surprise visible in his eyes, looking the scenario of the room and breaking the coy admiration of Khushi, of his handsome Physique.

"Hnn ??" Replied Khushi shrugging her shoulders with uncertainty in listening to his statement.

Gaining her consciousness, again she convulsively replied "Jii shukriya"(Thanks).

Listening to his accent of speaking , she was again lost in her wonderland of the man with caramel eyes, with the thought , how his husky voice effected her limbs into violent irregular motion by contradicting her muscles.

If his husky tone contradicted her limbs, he was left bewildered with his brows raised much high to the rastriya basha, she was using being an MBAian from ITM and now pursuing her lectureship in same college. Was she attitudinizing, thought run into his sharp mind for a second but vanished away same time memorizing her sister and his sister-in-law Payal, educated and cultural.

Continuing with the colloquies Arnav questioned her in a pure business tone"Being an MBAian from ITM, why don't you choose to pursue job in metro cities?"

"Pehle baat amma babuji nahe chahte the ki hum unhe chod ke jaye, unka man nahe lagta humare bina aur dusre ye ki hum khud unhe chod kar nahe jana chahte the"("Firstly mom-dad didn't want me to leave them ,they feel loss of mind without me and secondly, I too didn't wish to go, leaving them." ) were the words ,echoed in his ears.

"So, how agreeing about the marriage, in a far place?" courteously Arnav asked.

"Ushe tareh jaise aap Amrica rehne aur padne ke vawdood ,chote sehar ki ladke se shadi karne karna chahte hai!!" ("Same way , as you want to marry a small town girl inspite of Living and studying in America")

Arnav glared her with a confusion marked on his face with the answer, but it short lived as she continued, "Kyuke aap bhe humare tarah apne amma babuji ki khushi chahte hain." ("Because you too like me,want your parents happiness.' )

"Har maa baap chahte hain ki unke beti kise ache parivaar me byah kar jae , chahe wo pass ho ya door,uske muskuraahat he hote hain jo unhe khushi dete hain, aur hum hamesha apne amma babuji ki khushi ki wajah ban na chahte hain."("Every parent want their child to get married in a good family, even its far or near, her only smile is what gives them happiness and, I always want to be the reason for my parents happiness.")

Arnav, the man who never felt loss of words, today for the first time was tongue tied with the thought he just captured from the lady, who is now knocking his heart silently. He now can understand, why his parents want him to marry a small town girl.

Khushi , earlier was like a cat on her tiny roof, but with the passing minutes she was getting comfort with the man who was generous and much more silent , as listening her keenly.

He waited for a moment and then curiosity got the better of him and he feel to know more about her.

How you manage to travel to your work place and how long it take you to reach there?

"Jii, bus se , wo humara college bakshi ka talab mein sitapur road par hain tho yaha se hume takreeban adha ghanta lag jata hain agar jyada traffic na ho tho."(jii, by bus, my college is in bakhshi ka talab on sitapur road, so, it take me half an hour if there is less of traffic.) lightheartedly started Khushi as it was something she enjoy speaking about.

Arnav thanked his instincts, for asking her something she enjoy to speak about.

"Do you wish to marry soon, or, want to continue your job for a period of time" earnestly questioned Arnav.

"Hum naukri jarur karna chahege, par iske liye shaadi na karna koi wajah nahe hain. Hum shaadi ke baad bhe tho job kar sakte hain? Hain na?" ( "I will definitely want to pursue job, but for that not marrying, is not a reason. I can pursue my job after marriage ? isn't it?" ) answered Khushi with a hidden hope to get a positive reply for the expectations , she is expecting from him.

"Yes , you can, but ..." before he can continue, he saw a feeling of dashing hopes on her face, as like a child been abandoned for his summer picnic.

"But working in the same college would not be possible, as I don't want to be called a ghar jamai." (son-in-law living in his in-law's place) teased Arnav with placing a boisterous guffaw in the room, squeezing out the nervousness and anxiety from their newly started blooming relation.

Their colloquies continued for next few minutes, discussing about their life, from their likes to their hobbies to their dreams and aim. After proper 20 minutes, Payal disturbed the couple to come back to living area to be a part of family discussions.

As the sun reaching its peak to form the hottest in the day, raizada's took a leave from gomti sadan with a joy on their faces and sowing a seed of wait to inform gupta's as soon as possible later in evening about the dates of roka, after discussing with Arnav and Panditji(priest).

Part 4

Khushi and her family after bidding bye to raizada's stepped in home with a new born happiness. While everyone was busy in discussing about the family, Khushi was in her dream world with exhaustion and happiness formed together on her angelic face, tiredness because of the ballyhoo and happiness for the future, she started knitting, since the man started comforting her in the eery situation and silently promising to care, respect and love her in her coming life, that they are going to start together in the coming future.

Before she could build more castles in Spain with the man soon going to give her a new surname, excluding the one she has added to her name since childhood, Payal broke her silky roped oneirism , pressing her shoulders from behind.

"Tho! batao Khushi ! Kaise lage tumhe humare jethji?" (So! Say Khuhsi ,How you find my brother in law?) teased payal with a hidden smile suppressed within her sealed lips.

Payal was left to stay back with her mama-mami and cousin for the night, as she was here after months.

She too wished to share the joy and happiness knocked Gomti sadan with the news of Khushi getting married to Payal's Brother in law.

A beautiful, shy smile was the only answer Khushi could give at the moment with no words roping to come out to form words that can justify her situation. All the times in past, answers from Khushi related to her matters were never this short and wordless, until today for the biggest matter of her life, agreeing to the alliance.

---------------

With the day, the sun dipping to dusk, a darkness emanating around, but the Sheesh Mahal was blooming tonight like a sun, making people peep through slits of their eyes at the intense happiness of the castle.

All the eyes of family members sitting in the living area cornered to the stairs, seeing Anjali walking down the ancient stairs with a sullen face clearly showing a kind of rejection.

As soon as she ended the life of the primeval refurbished steps, nani quickly reached her taking long stride with lines of worry and stress forming on her forehead .

"Didn't he agree" was all none could ask, the moment she held Anjali's arm, losing all her vigor.

Anjali , who was always known as the prankster and melodrama queen in the house , suddenly felt bad for playing her larks at the wrong time, but to cover it up , she soon unmasked her sullenness with a broad smile that for a second turned all faces in hall to confusion, but soon understanding her traits took a breath of peace taking it again her capers to thrill every heart sitting there in the hall.

Every heart filled with mammoth happiness as Anjali acquaint everyone in the family about the tidings of Arnav agreeing to the alliance voluntarily, not taking it as a decreed proclamation from all the elders.

Raizada's, since the day decide to couple Arnav with Khushi were panic-stricken with contemplation , will Arnav agree for the spousal relationship , if yes, then out of respect and love for his family or, with his own inclination. But now seeing Anjali they let the peaceful breathe in, waiting for them to be filled in their lungs.

Anjali ensconcing herself in the upholstered three sitter tidafors sofa unfolded the chronicles of ASR, the way he agreed to the alliance. How a man who never stammered to put his words on the floor, in fact, was always sure-footed and had an aura to tranquilize others, for the first time was hemming and hawing as Anjali approached him soon after returning from Khushi's place.

She continued how desperate she was to know, how he feel about the girl, did he liked her??? Or he want some time to decide or the one she least expecting of him, not continuing the alliance.

But, soon the words of not continuing the alliance strike down his mind, the next moment he turned to the bed where Anjali was waiting for his reply. Arnav's eyes, which were always ascertained, for never countenancing to anyone to know what was running inside him, always failed when they are in contact with his loving sister , who easily inferred his cerebration. And before he could express himself in words, where he invariably fail , Anjali stepped towards him and rested her hand on his cheeks and said with concern "chotte, you don't need to say anything to me, your eyes conveyed what your words may fail "

Before she can surrender her more love and affection to him, he turned to hide his facial expressions more of his eyes, which can be easily read by her sister like she is reading an open book closely.

But Anjali being stubborn and always close to him , turned to him continuing her caresses on his hard jaw line which in turn started smoothing with her caresses.

"Chotte, I know you are not able to decide about the alliance in jiff, but what I can read in your eyes is sure of shoot that you don't need the time to decide for the right".

As Anjali verbalized all his feelings that he can never put into words, Arnav's eyes calmed and blinked shortly agreeing with her.

"But, if you want the time , we can wait and ask same from gupta's to wait for some days" teased Anjali in order to get an answer from the conscious ASR.

"Dii, wo ... I mean..." and a silence continued after all this monosyllabic stammered words.

Before she can proceed further with her notions and tease him more , Arnav kibosh her clearing in one go "dii, ask nani and dadi to call pandit ji for fixing the dates "and with that he entered the bathroom to take some suspiring breathe and relax his brain and body that are still engaged with Khushi's face and flairs with the cold drizzling water.

Anjali, with a content smile stepped out of the bachelor hunk's room who was soon going to lose his bachelorship.

As anon she finished the anecdote , all faces turned to more joy with a contentment. Nani and dadi , without delaying for a second called pandit ji for checking the auspicious time for the roka and engagement. After some couple of minutes, looking after almanac, panditji proffered the functions can be done after two days together, adding up some gap of hours in between their occurrence.

The news of the events was soon spread around the mansion like a fire in the forest, but the only difference was, fire turns things to ashes as it spreads while this news turned all to glowing bulbs with 100W of joy passing their hearts.

Around an hour passed with all the happiness flowing in the house, nani retained about informing the gupta's, who were forgotten in the blissful moment of happiness.

The elders of the family sat together, putting the phone on speaker to share the happiness and announce the dates to gupta's, but not forgetting to ask them about their consent for the upcoming events.

No man wants to delay the happiness entering their house, especially when the triumph is related to their child's marriage. Gupta's agreed the same instant to arrange for the roka in the morning at the decided time and followed after that will be the soiree, which will to be held at Sheesh Mahal, a palace where their daughter will soon to be tagged as the bride of the magnificent palace.

If the elders were busy in fixing the dates and preparing for the function that was to be held in two days, the couple was busy in their set of thought about one another.

---------------

The creases of the washed clothes were very smoothly getting erased with her cushy hands touching them so delicately when she herself was more busy in the butterfly reminiscences shared in the same room with a far-famed man who is soon going to be a part of her life-above all.

Losing herself again in in the memories Khushi was cast off in the past of one hour ago life.

Even though the uneasiness flee away with time , but something which didn't go unnoticed by Arnav was Khushi's look which was then brushed with a color of strainedness after some couple of minutes of their forgathering.

"Is something bothering you that you are scared to say?" questioned Arnav in quick seconds after noticing her.

The aghastness and increasing pinkishness of her cheeks confirmed Arnav's instincts turning true, drove him more determined to know the reason of her sullen face.

"I insist you bring to light what is worrying you seeing as without coming over your worries and fear you can't bind yourself in a new relation wholeheartedly" .

"Is there someone you love or want to marry or your parents not agreeing " continued Arnav after getting no verbal response from Khushi.

Before he could convince her more to share her fears and come out of the collywobbles formed, his ears heard words working out from her mouth.

"Wo hum..."(I...) spoke Khushi and after continued was an eery silence prevailed in air yet again before he could ask her , he heard some speedy words.

"Wo humare dhake hue sharir par jalne ke nishan hain" (My covered body all consist of burn marks ) verbalized Khushi with closed eyes ,chin touching her decolletage with an embarrassment, feeling the earth to open and swallow her the same instant. However, knowing the materiality, she knew nothing of that sort will happen and she now has to go through what will come from him.

"How did you get them?" queried Arnav with a mixed up emotions of feeling tinge of pain clearly visible on his face.

Fidgeting her fingers around the dupatta continuously in view of the fact of nervousness and embarrassment of sharing something very personal , she continued " jab hum 12 saal ke the tab achanak khel khel mein daudte hue amma se ja takraye jo ki garam pani chadar saaf karne ke liye ja rahe the, amma se takrane par unke haath se chooth kar patile ka saara garam pani chadar ke bajaye humare upar gir gaya, bus tabhe se ye nisaan humare saath hain(when I was 12 years old, suddenly while playing the game on running , I collided with amma who was taking away warm water for washing bed covers, colliding with mom slipped the entire warm water on me instead of bed covers, since then this splotches are with me)" recalled Khushi feeling the past again holding her in the same memories.

"Did it still hurt?" asked concerned Arnav .

"Nahe , ab bilkul bhe dard nahe hota"(No, now it does not afflict anymore)answered khushi the same instant.

"Par wo hum nahe chahte Ki hum aapse ye baat chupaye" (But I don't want to hide this fact from you)

To someone who if hears these words may sound as simple as they are told, but for the first time Arnav felt something more than what these words can simply conclude.The same instant his instincts reasoned out, there is something in this girl which was attracting him since the first time his eyes had fallen on her. It was not the beautiful angelic doe-eyed face, nor the carmine lips, nor the luminescent skin, which was glowing as a Sirius in the night sky, but it was the naiveness and innocence that were diverting him more as a flame attracting a moth .

Breaking the reverie next second, Payal entered her room , speaking to Akash, who had called her to share the happiness which was just minutes ago being informed by the family to Gupta's. As much Khushi could hear was, how much delighted and thrilled she was sounding over the phone. Khushi , again thanked the almighty for giving her a cousin sister cum best friend who was always a reason for the happiness she had got in her life and now adding a bonus Payal chose the best guy for her. She remembers, it was Payal, who first proposed Khushi's name for alliance with Arnav. Raizada's didn't have to think much, they had met gupta's earlier in Akash's wedding and had known them since then and after that meeting Khushi's father personally and knowing about Khushi interested them, and after that all what followed is now history.Now, she knew that Payal words from childhood of living always close now is going to come true in some months.

Again, now when Khushi looked towards Payal, she had settled herself beside her on bed , after finishing the call .

"Khushi tumne ab tak sun he liya hoga ki do din ke baad ab tum humare behan na rehkar jethani bhe ban jaoge ".(Khushi, you mush have heard by now that in two days you are not going to be just my sister but also my sister in law. ) Spoke Payal taking Khushi's hand in her hand and caressing her knuckles wit affection.

"Tum Khush ho na?"(Are you happy?) asked Payal with a concern.

"Ha jiji hum khush hain"(ya dii, I am happy) answered Khushi with a glowing eyes reflecting the happiness more than her words.

Payal and Khushi were always close to each other and shared all their happiness, worries and sorrows with each other and now telling Payal , how she is feeling and sharing the unusual feelings was all she now wish.

"Khushi tumhe pata hain, shuru shuru mein hume Arnavji ajeeb lage , gusse wale aur kafe ghamandi par jaise samay beeta aur hum unhe jan ne lage tho hume pata chala ki wo bilkul aise nahe hain jaisa hum unke bare mein sochte the, vastavikta mein wo bahut ache hain aur unke jaisa dil kise ke pass nahe hain par haan wo kam bolte hain aur apne kam ko bahut sakte se lete hain is liye shayad log unhe galat samaj lete hain".(Khushi, you know in the beginning I found Arnav strange, tempestuous and arrogant but as time passed and I get to know him , I came to know he is nowhere like what I thought of him, in fact he is too good and has an unique heart but yaa he speaks less and takes his profession strictly perhaps for this people misapprehend him ) shared Payal again feeling the past and the mistake she did in misunderstanding Arnav.

Khushi was keenly listening to what Payal was saying and taking in all bit information regarding Arnav .

"Tumhe pata hain Akash ne hume bataya Arnavji suru se he aise hain aur jabse wo videsh gaye padne ke liye, wo aur bhe apne aap mein kho gaye par hum nahe chahte ke jo galte hum se hue wo tum se ho aur tum bhe unke choope ya unke chand labzo ko galat samaj lo, bus ishe liye hum tumhe ye sab bata rahe hain,bake hum jante hain tum humse jyada samajdaar ho".(You know, Akash told me Arnav from the beginning is like this and ever since he went to abroad for his studies, he became more lost in himself but I don't want you to repeat the same mistake what I committed and you too take his silence or his monosyallabic short statements as wrong and for this reason only , I am sharing all this with you and rest I know you are more sensible than me) reasoned Payal .

"Jiji hum jante hain tum humse kya keh rahe ho aur hum sach bataye tho hum pure dil se koshish karege ki hum unhe samjhe aur humesha unke saath kadhe rahe."(sister, I know what you mean to say and to say the truth than I will try with all my heart to understand him and always stand beside him) Reassured Khushi remembering , how he had ease her turmoils in a jiff with his few words , making more visible the image of her prince charming.

"Hum jante hain tumhe , ishe liye tho hum kehte hain ki tum humse jyada samajdaar ho aur dekho in baato baato mein hum jis kam ke liye aye the wo tho bhul he gaye"(I know that's why I say you are more brainy than me and see in this chatting I forgot the work for which I came ).

"Kya?"(what?)questioned Khushi.

"Mamiji hum dono ko khane ke liye bula rahe hain ab jalde chalo humare bhookh se jaan nikal rahe hain".(Aunty is calling us both for having lunch now come fast I am dying of hunger) racing her words Payal pulled Khushi out to the dining area giving a temporary break to Khushi's thoughts.

---------

Same time when Khushi was thinking about Arnav , he too was in no different situation.

Arnav who was always lost either in his work or his silent chat with his plants was today sitting on his recliner focusing less on the presentation, but more on the girl who had totally occupied the imaginative screen of his brain.

He was still occupied with the images of her, how her eyes revealed her hesitation, her fears, her anxiety and the easiness that was brimmed in her as soon as he started comforting her and his last closure statement over her fears was the highest scoring level , he crossed in that meet.
