Part 12

Next Day the bright morning brought hopes in every ones life. Rohan was relaxed that his parents are with him and they understand, he was feeling content, but at the same time he had a nagging feeling that khushi's parents will react in an opposite manner, they will not let go of this matter and he feared that somehow this will spoil relationships which he didn't want.

Rohan had called Anjali and discussed everything with her and her happiness knew no bounds that finally she can dream of the anticipated future. She was also happy for her chotey that the biggest hurdle in his love life has somewhat removed, but Rohan's worry was also transferred into her mind about khushi's parents reaction.

Rohan had decided that he will discuss and take matters into hand soon and for that he had to make his parents meet Anjali as soon as possible and hence he informed her that he is coming with his parents to meet her. They are keen to meet their son's love interest and their future daughter in law.

Anjali's happiness knew no bounds she was anxious nervous and whole lot of emotions were running through her veins.

She informed Ratna and Arun that Rohan is coming with his parents to meet her and they were too excited. Though as parents they were upset that soon their doll is going to leave them but at the same they were happy for her, that finally their daughter has started feeling happy in her life.

Ratna had done all the arrangements to welcome the guests, she wanted to herself dress her doll... she should look like a princess today. Anjali was wearing a dress of her chotey's choice.. he had made it very clear that he will himself select sari for Anjali and he was proud of his choice she was really looking a princess.

Di... aaj toh Rohan ghayal ho jayega you are looking extremely gorgeous.. he whispered in Anjali's ears.

Choteyy... she punched him... don't tease me, Iam already nervous... will his parents like me?

Di... if they will not like you means they are blind, my di is the best there is no comparison to her beauty ok..he said in a finality tone.

Chotey... don't boost my confidence by saying all these things... vaise khushi is also very beautiful... don't you think so... she said in a teasing tone.

Di..., Oh no let her pinch herself her chotey... is blushing.

Arnav left smiling... thinking about pair of hazel eyes who has given him sleepless nights.

Ratna couldn't handle so much of mushyness, both her kids were so much in love, she prayed to all mighty for their smiles to be intact.

Arnav was lost in his dream land thinking about khushi, how she looked in the diwali party in that red saree... making him go crazy and do things that he has never done in his life. How perfect she felt in his arms and the way he was so lost in the kiss... god... he wanted to see her now and take her in his arms... but he knew he needs to have patience.

Finally Rohan and his parents arrived in shantivan and as Arnav said Rohan was lost in Anjali, he just stood there with his mouth open and his father had to literally pull him... Rohan stop ooggling... everyone is looking at you.

Arun and Arnav had to control their smiles...

Namastey Ji Myself Vinod... Iam Rohan's Father and this is my wife Shilpa.

They wished everyone and had their seats...

Shilpa said... I must say Ratnaji... your daughter is really beautiful... we are happy that she will be our daughter in law..

Anjali blushed with this comment and Arnav slightly pushed her.

Arunji.. we are here to ask your daughters hand for our Rohan.. since we came to know that they love each other and for us his happiness matters the most.

Arun smiled... I trust my daughters choice and hope that he will keep her happy always..

I will uncle Rohan said with pride... once I had hurt her due to my stupidity... but I wont make this mistake again.

I promise to you that your daughter will be always happy with me and I will try my level best to keep her happy.

I trust you Rohan Arun said..

But Khushi's parents? Ratna said getting worried...

Ratnaji... Shashi is my dearest friend we have been childhood friends and had made a promise to each other that we will be always be together and hence when I had seen khushi growing I asked her hand for my Rohan thinking that our friendship will remain intact due to this proposal and shashi was more than happy to accept it. But we never thought of asking our kids what they want and that was our mistake.

We anticipated that they will be happy with our wish, but as kids grow they have different dreams and aspirations and we as parents should give them space and think from their point of view. I understood it late but thankfully my son made me realize it.. I hope shashi will too realize it.

We would like to fix this proposal and bring Anjali bitiya to our house soon... but before that I would like to talk to shashi and apologize to him and convince him for khushi's happiness as she is also my daughter.

Arun thought of something and came up with a suggestion.

Vinodji can we also join you as we want to meet Shashiji and speak to him about khushi

Iam sorry Arunji, actually we will have to do it alone me and shilpa as you know shashi is little conservative and will not like you discussing about Arnav and khushi first of all I have to convince him that Rohan and khushi cannot get married as Rohan loves Anjali and once he is cooled down we can talk about Arnav and khushi.

Arnav was not very happy and everyone could see this, Anjali just held his hand tight and signaled choteyy... relax.

Uncle why khushi's father is forcing her against her will, this is not acceptable, she also has dreams, he is not even allowing her to continue studies.

Vinod smiled at Arnav and said, beta he doesn't believe in girls studying a lot even payal couldn't complete her studies and now she is abroad with her husband settled there.

Anyways don't worry, becoz of Rohan's insistence atleast he allowed khushi to go to college.

But Vinodji what if they say, if not Rohan then someone else but khushi will have to get married soon and you know choteyy has not even completed his studies he is planning to go UK for higher studies and if they insist on early marriage how will we convince them... Ratna asked..

Ratna we will find a way.. Arun said.

Pehle let us fix Anjali and Rohan's marriage...

And then all the rituals were done and since Rohan's parents were very keen in fixing everything they fixed the engagement date as well.

Everyone parted ways being happy and content, Rohan and Anjali could manage to sneak out and spend some time with each other.

Here Arnav called khushi and ionformed her about everything and she was very excited and happy that atleast her friend got all the happiness he deserved.

That night Vinod couldn't sleep a bit and Rohan was beside him... Dad are you upset about facing shashi uncle.. Iam sorry becoz of me you have to go through this.

No beta don't say sorry, its just that Iam worried what if shashi will not agree for Arnav and khushi's proposal, you know how adamant he is.

Anyways they decided that next day itself they will go to khushi's house and as promised they had reached at khushi's house.

Arey Vinod kaise ho yaar, after so many days we are meeting... you toh forgot that we have a wedding to plan.

Vinod gave a hesitant smile along with shilpa..

Garima called them inside and said our samdhi's have come let me arrange some snacks.

No Garima.. please have a seat... shilpa said.

We need to discuss something important.

Shashi was tensed looking at their faces...

What happened yaar... why you all are looking distressed.

By that time khushi had also come out.

Shashi.. when I asked khushi's hand for marriage , I never knew or didn't give a thought that we should ask our kids as well whether they agree or not.

Shashi became serious.. it was never needed Vinod I know my daughter will not go against me.

But why suddenly you thought so any problem.

Vinod smiled and said... actually I came to know that Rohan always had wished to marry someone else but since I gave a promise to you he was just following it not to make me unhappy.

Shashi was outraged.. Vinod is it a joke you are saying... what do you mean... Rohan... Rohan doesnt want to get married to khushi?

Actually Shashi.. Rohan had always loved a girl named Anjali... but since he didn't want to break promise... he got ready to marry khushi..

Who is Anjali? Garima asked.

She is Mr. Raizada.. Arun Singh Raizada's daughter..

Oh... now I understand... Vinod you got a good match for your son more rich family so now you are turning by your words right, how much dowry did they offer you tell me..

Rohan was angry now, Uncle please my father and me are not people who consider girls as some commodity which we can buy.

I and Anjali met in college and we used to like each other but since I was always committed to this relation, I ignored my love for her.

Then what happened now babua... why did you turn by your words Garima asked...?

Becoz me and khushi don't want the same we don't love each other then how can we get married.

It doesnt matter Rohan, you tend to love once you are married... we all have done the same.

But Uncle I love Anjali and I want to marry her.

Shashi was fuming with anger.. ok I understand you don't wish to marry our daughter.. no problem... I will find a better match for my daughter, its not like you are the only guy.

Uncle I want to say something.. he looked at khushi and she dreaded about what he is going to say... but Rohan has to do this for his friend.

Uncle khushi also loves someone...

Now shashi was hell angry.. he pulled Rohan by his collar... how dare you say that about my daughter, I have not raised her like that...

Everyone was trying to control Shashi... khushi knew its time.. right time when she has to intervene for her love... she is not going to be a fragile doll accepting everything against her will, if her friend can stand by her.. she can also do this for her love... for her Arnav.

Babuji... everyone looked at her... she was shivering but she closed her eyes and she saw that one person who had immense love for her... Rohan... he is telling the truth... I love Arnav..

Shashi and Garima were red due to anger... all this was going under their nose they didn't knew...

Garima was about to raise her hands when...

Stop it... they heard a voice...

Please... don't even think of touching her...

Rohan saw Arnav and was shocked how did he reach here... and not only him he saw the whole Raizada family at khushi's house.

Sorry Vinodji we couldn't stop ourselves from coming... Arnav was very restless.. he knew something like this will happen and hence he requested to go today itself and not wait for another day.

Arnav suddenly reached khushi... and pulled her towards him...

Aunty I respect you... you are like my mother, but please I cant stand anyone hurting my khushi..

Thought Arnav said it in a calm and composed manner, there was a finality in it.

What is going on here people are coming to my house and threatening me Shashi said...

Namastey Shashji... We are sorry to come unannounced like this... but we couldn't stop ourselves.. Arun said.

Vinod wanted to break the ice... please shashi shall we discuss..

For the first time Ratna saw a madness in Arnav and she didn't know what should she feel, she noticed khushi and she was speechless, such an innocent soul with least makeup on her and beauty so flawless, she felt herself pulled towards her and khushi saw her coming and what Ratna did just made her shocked.. she took khushi's face in her hands and kissed her forehead with so much tenderness that a lone tear fell from her eyes.

My chotey's choice will be so divine I never thought, you are really beautiful bitiya..

Arnav was feeling a different kind of pride in him that his mother who is everything to him is appreciating his love with such tenderness.

Shashi... this is Anjali... Rohan loves her...

Shashi saw anjali who had a sweet little innocent smile on her face... she came to shashi and took his blessings... but shashi was not at all interested... he was angry with the turn of events.

Shashiji we know you are angry... but try an understand, we cant force our kids against their will... Arun said.

Shashi didn't like the way Arun was advising him, I don't like outsiders to interfere in my family matters, he was bitter everyone knew and Arnav didn't like the way Shashi was speaking to his father.

Uncle we respect you... that doesnt mean you can be rude to us... you are speaking to Arun singh Raizada my Father and he is a respected soul in this society don't forget that, we are here to apologize becoz we know that you were not aware of certain things but that doesnt mean you can disrespect us.

Disrespect... you are coming to my house and ordering me and you say that Iam disrespecting you, Its my daughter you all are talking about.. and khushi ,,, have I taught you this... is this the reason I had sent you to college to spoil my name and do things behind me.

I shouldnt have allowed you to study in first place.. Shashi said ... all this while khushi was continuously crying and Arnav was not able to control himself... he just wanted to console her.. take her in his arms and sooth her pain.

Shashiji... Arun said... whatever happened is happened... we are here to request you to please give khushi's hand in Arnav;s hand... we want to make her our daughter in law.

Ratna went to Garima... she know however tough a father may be... a mother can understand her daughter... garima ji, I promise you that I will keep khushi always happy she will be like my daughter, please agree for this proposal.

All these while Garima was looking at khushi... however conservative and tough she may be she knows her daughter is distressed... but she cant go against her husband.

Shashi yaar... I trust Arun and his family... they are reputed people in society... they will keep our khushi happy.

Shashi thought for a while... he never like to loose... he was adamant... but he knew situations are not in his favour, but he also would like to have some small wins.

Ok... fine now when everyone has decided for my daughter, he said sarcastically... who am I to object.

But I have a condition... the marriage should happen next month itself.

Now everyone was shocked.

Arun said, Shashiji its good that you agreed and thanks for your permission but please think... Arnav and khushi are too young to get married, they need to study further..

Arnav is not settled he has to complete his higher studies try an understand.

Then what you thought Arunji... I will allow my daughter to just roam around... I don't care.. I never wanted her to study further... I want her to get married asap.

Your belong to a rich family doesnt matter to you, but for me.. I cant keep my daughter unmarried.

This is my condition if you agree fine... or else I will have to start looking for another alliance for khushi, but I want her to get married soon or who knows... she will do something else behind my back. Shashi gave a deadly and mistrustful look to khushi.

Hence I have decided if you want khushi to be your daughter In law the marriage has to happen next month itself, he said looking at Arun.

Let me win this time.. Shashi thought in his mind.

Don't even dare to look for alliances for khushi... let me be very clear, marriage now or later but your daughter in mine now and I will not allow anyone to take her away from me.

Oh is it gentleman she is my daughter and I have a right on her, you cant dictate me.

Really, is she your daughter I doubt that uncle... she is not your commodity, you never cared for her dreams, her happiness... now also you are deciding for her... she don't have a say in it...her exams are ahead and she wants to study further... but you want her to be tied and be a dutiful wife to someone, is this your love, then I must say that you don't know the meaning of it.

Choteyy... Arun shouted... you are not supposed to speak to your elders like this.

Iam sorry dad.. Arnav said,.

No need Mr. Arun I can understand a guy who can brainwash my daughter and make her go against me, he can talk in any way he wants.. I don't expect more.

Iam sorry to say this Mr. Shashi.. my son is my pride... my children are my medals.. and being in love with someone is not a sin and I don't think my son has done any mistake, like a gentlemen he is asking your permission, if he would have wanted he would have took khushi from here without your permission but he is standing here and listening to all this is becoz he respects khushi's father.

Enough of discussion Mr. Arun.. you can tell me your decision, khushi wont study further I have decided.

Shashi... please don't do this to her... Vinod pleaded... why are you so stubborn.

Iam sorry Vinod you lost the right to advise me the time you broke the alliance, now I will do whatever I want.

Ratna couldn't take it anymore and she said garimaji wont you say anything, garima just put her head down.

Behenji in our family , wives don't go against men they will just follow the order.

Ratna gave a sarcastic laugh... Oh I got it.

Initially she was skeptical.. but now she has decided.. what she should do.

Fine Arnav and khushi will be married next month along with Rohan and Anjali... both the weddings will happen together.

Arun was shocked... but Ratna you were against chotey getting married so early.

Ya I was... but now I cant let my daughter in law stay in this house anymore with such people who don't respect women.

She went to khushi and touched her head lovingly... beta answer me .. do you want to study further...khushi looked at her with hopes in her eyes, never ever has someone asked about her wish and choice and she was overwhelmed with emotions she was looking at Arnav who smiled at her, suddenly she remembered his words which he said few days back, 'what are my parents for''.

She looked at Ratna and nodded... Shashi was about to say something when Arun signaled him, wait Mr. Shashi.. let my wife talk to our daughter.

Garima saw how he addressed khushi as their daughter and felt ashamed, she never considered khushi's wishes.

Then its final, khushi will study after marriage kyon chotey.. she smiled at Arnav...as if informing him.

Ofcourse mom, I don't my wife to be uneducated now, he winked at khushi and she smiled through her tears.

Arun turned towards shashi and said, shashiji you can make arrangements for the marriage we will come to take our daughter from you and she will fulfill her dreams post marriage.

She will get everything she has ever wished for in her life in our house.

Khushi just ran and fell down on Arun's feet feeling overwhelmed with emotions, and he picked her up and hugged her... no beta... 'hamaare yaha betiyan paiir nahi chhooti''

Vinod was happy, he had a regret that he had rejected khushi but now he knows that she has got such a loving family.

Anjali too hugged khushi welcome dear... we are so happy to get you as our chotey's girl.

Shashi was helpless, he knows now he don't have a say, everyone has turned up on him.

Shashiji... he heard his wife... jo hum nahi kar paye apni beti ke liye kamsekam inhe toh uske sapne poore karne dijiye.

Finally he agreed as he didn't have a choice, but he was a bitter man always and hence said, fine once khushi is married then she is your responsibility you can whatever you want with her. We don't have a problem.

Khushi looked at her father and was feeling sad as to why he is so bitter towards her, but garima consoled her and for the first time khushi felt releived that atleast her mom is happy with her.

But I have a condition.. Arnav said...

Now what choteyy... Ratna said getting irritated, mammma... we have our final exams coming up... with all these wedding preparations Iam sure me and khushi wont be able to concentrate... so cant we start the preparations post our exam.

Yes thats right Rohan said, Uncle I know you are angry with me... but atleast once you considered me as your son and please its my request... I want khushi to compete her final exams.

Yes uncle.. Anjali joined too... please agree and shashi had to agree..

Fine but Arnav and khushi will not meet each other before marriage.

Whattt???? Arnav shouted.

Cool down boy... I wont allow my daughter to roam around with you without marriage, but... choteyyy... he is right... Arun said... Please agree... he signaled him.

Arnav knew he cant go against his father... ok fine he said getting annoyed and looked at khushi who was smiling in her mind.

Laugh gupta... how much ever you want.. I know how to wipe that smile off your face, he gave a teasing look to her and khushi knew his intentions and hence started getting nervous.

So its final that after khushi and arnav's exams the marriage will happen.

Accha Shashiji... hum chaltein hain, and please its a request that don't be harsh on khushi... she is our daughter as well... Arun said.

Shashi nodded...

Ratna gave a hug to khushi... cant wait for you to come to my house as my chotey's dulhan.

And if he troubles you... you can tell me I will pull his ears..khushi giggled.

Everyone left with happy and content faces... Shashi yaar Iam sorry all this happened... but please don't spoil our friendship due to this, Vinod said

Shashi didn't want to keep grudges now... after all his daughter is getting married to one of the prestigious family in the city and hence agreed.

That's all for now..

Next... Arnav khushi exams... fun in college...

Yeh dooriyaan...

Part 13

Arnav was all smiles when Ratna entered into his room , he was not able to believe himself that Khushi is going to be his in few days.

MMhhh... Ratna cleared her throat, has my son come back to earth from his dream land. Arnav heard her question and started looking here and there.

MMm... Mom you said something...

Ya ya.. I was talking to the walls you see...

Mom... he whined, come sit here next to me I want to talk... Arnav said

He kept his head on her lap... Mom you know you are the best,

Ya I know say something new...

He smiles, no really I mean it... today you know for a moment when Shashi uncle was becoming adamant, I thought I will loose her.

Though I wouldnt have listened to him, but I know his approval means a lot for khushi.

But the way you handled it Mom, you saved my life...

Dhattt... don't be dramatic and pass filmy dialogues.

No really Mom by giving your consent for marriage though you know I need to study further, you have done a big favor on me.

Ratna slapped him lightly don't you ever say that again... A mother never does any favor for her children, I could see it on your face and khushi's as well...

The fear of loosing each other is very big chotey and I didn't want my kids to go through it, and more over I did it for khushi... I want her as my daughter in law... though I saw her today for the first time, but the amount of innocence I saw on her face.. it pulled me to own her as my daughter and even if I would have roamed all over the world.. I couldn't have found a better girl for you... the love she has for you... the love she has for her parents, the way she is ready to do anything for her loved ones, I think it takes lot of determination.

I am proud of your choice chotey... she is best match for you.

I know mom, she is the best... isliye toh dil haar gaya... woh bhi itni buri tarah se..

Ok now enough exams are coming concentrate.

Here when the Raizada family was relishing the happiness, gupta family had gone totally quiet.

Shashi still was not happy the way things shaped up, but he had no choice... he had totally ignored khushi and her existence, but the circumstances had made garima and khushi come closer, after all a mother can never stay away from her daughter for a long time...

Maa... are you angry with me? Khushi asked.

I was khushi... but now the way Arnavs mom has handled everything, I don't have any worries... I know you will be happy in their house... Khushi I know as parents we never understood you or tried to know your dreams, but one thing Iam sure that you will always be happy with Arnav.

Khushi got overwhelmed and hugged her mother... thanks amma your acceptance means a lot to me.

Garima wiped her tears and said, now go on concentrate on your studies exams are coming.

Next few days saw Rohan and Anjali spending lot of time with each other, the time they could have spent before were relished by them... its good they got some time to know each other better before marriage.

Arnav and khushi were totally into studies and as promised, Arnav didn't try to meet khushi in these days, though they spoke sometimes on phone... they stood to their words which were promised to shashi as they didn't wanted any drama during their exams.

It was few days before exams everyone came to college to know the examination hall details and other reference matters.

Everyone was excited that after many days they will meet each other, lavanya was more excited to meet khushi as she came to know everything from Arnav, about their marriage and all the drama and hence when she met khushi she just squeezed her to death... ohoo... lavanya you will kill me or what I have exams to write.. khushi said breathlessly.

You dumbo... idiot.. such a big news and you are telling that I should not make noise... common yaar my two best friends are getting married for gods sake... soon NK and Akash too joined.

Yes khushi this calls for a celebration.. we should party.

Sorry guys... I need to leave soon.. I got permission for only some time as I couldn't avoid coming to college... we will meet after exams...khushi said sadly..

Khushi... Aakash called... we know your father's condition... that you and Arnav cant meet each other... but really... after coming till here you will go without meeting him.

You know from last few days, Arnav has just drowned himself in studies as according to him any free time will make him crave to meet you.. now also.. he is not come here with us as he knows you will run away from him just to keep your promise... Its not easy for him to stay away from you and I know that... how much he is diying to meet you but is refraining himself as he didn't want to go against you... but don't you want to meet him...?

Khushi's eyes became moist... she knew how difficult it was for her to do this...

Nk... where is he? Khushi asked with anxiousness.

Khushi just say once dear, we will make you guys meet yaar, nobody will come to know you have come to collect details for exams... its not like you guys are going for date, and I bet this much cheating is allowed common... its not that you are crossing the line.

Everybody hugged khushi and convinced her to meet Arnav and finally she agreed.

Here Arnav was pacing restlessly, he knew she is close to him just a few distance away... but he wanted to control himself from running to her and kiss her senseless, he knew how difficult it was for her as well, but he also knows that once they will meet nobody can stop him to just consume her and that will effect their current state of mind... he didn't want it to bother her... she should be able to peacefully study well.

But suddenly he heard Aakash's voice from behind and he could feel her presence as well.

He held his breath for few secs and closed his eyes as if feeling her around.

He just turned around and the world stopped for him it has been two weeks... he has seen her and now when she stood in front of him... he couldn't believe whether it was dream or reality.

Aakash, Nk and lavanya left giving them space... they were at the fire exit and luckily no one was around.

Arnav could see the longing in her eyes, he knew they both were controlling themselves from running to each other, he could see tears in her eyes and then she just ran to him and jumped in to his arms, the force was such that he staggered back with force.

Arnnn...avvv.. she was wheeping badly with hicupps ... crying badly while squeezing the life out of him and arnav could do nothing but just hold her to him... he was patting her back to calm her..

Shhh... love... please... don't cry.. you are killing me khushi... khushi... bas... just stop...

But she was not listening the days of restlessness the way she has missed him, its been long she has not seen him, felt him...

I missed you so much Arnav... so... so... much

Khushi... oh... khushi... I missed you too sweetheart, you don't know how I have controlled myself and stopped from coming to your house in the night just to have a look at you.. whether you are fine. And now you are not helping either, don't make me weak khushi... its not easy for me to stay away from you.

She pulled herself back and cupped his face, Arnav...she said still crying.

Arnav couldn't take it any longer and filled her face with kisses all over and finally reached her lips...he looked at her eyes as if asking permission and saw her closing eyes and then he couldn't stop and took her lips into a deep kiss, but this kiss was full of longing, the days they have spent without each other was reflecting in that one kiss, he was nibbling her again and again and she gave in without protest as if submitting herself to him and he became out of control, he pinned her to the nearby wall and started giving open mouthed kisses on her jawline down towards her neck... she was so lost that she didn't realize her moans were coming out loud and it was making him more desperate for her.

Khushi... I cant... he said between kisses, we need to stop or else I wont be responsible for what happens next.

She suddenly realized their position and pulled back, her face all red and eyes too puffy, all the time when they were kissing she was crying like anything and Arnav couldn't help himself but kiss her again on her lips, but this time he was too soft and was nibbling her lower lip softly... I cant wait for us to get married... you will be death of me.

She hugged him... how are you Arnav and hows Maa and Di, arnav smiled... he knew over these days his Mom and Di have become thick friends with khushi, they were always praising her every now and them.

They are fine khushi and are desperately waiting for their chotey's khushi.

She blushed on that comment...

Now don't do that now or I will be forced to start again what I finished just now.

What? She asked getting confused... what did I do.

You are blushing like a bride sweetheart he pecked her.

Arnav we need to leave now its late... I don't want Babuji to doubt me... hearing that Arnav clenched his teeth.

Khushi cupped his face after few days I will be yours forever right, then why this anger?

Yes mine forever... then I will not leave you to anyone...

JI sir!!! she said saluting... but for now leave me..

She tried to wriggle... but he was not letting her go and she saw the vulnerability in his eyes.

Arnav... please... let me go...

Agar mera bas chalta toh tumhe churake le jaata... I cant stay away for a single minute from you khushi...

I know Arnav ab chaley...

They parted from each other with lot of difficulty... and promised their friends that they will sure have a party after exams.

Arnav saw khushi leaving with lavanya and sighed...keeping a hand on his heart and rubbing, Nk nudged him... oye hoye romeo... juliet chali gayi...

Yaar she will kill me one day... with her love... it pains to be away.

Arnav... lets concentrate exams are coming...

I know... I cant wait to make her mine...I hope after exams I can meet her.

Ofcourse yaara akhir dost kisliye hotey hain...said nk giving a Hi-Fi to Aakash.

Soon everyone became busy in studies... there was a determination in Arnav and khushi that they need to excel in their exams... as if it was their life issue.

They knew their future will depend on their Hard work, their parents have agreed to their wish having trust on them, specially Ratna..

Khushi and Arnav both knew it was becoz of her determination and trust on them that they will be successful in life, everyone agreed to their wishes and Arnav and khushi want to prove in front of her that they will stand by their words and excel in exams.

Soon the exams got over, during each examination Arnav and khushi stayed away from each other as they didn't want to distract each other.

All these while shashi was quiet as if he is not bothered about anything, he was just boosting in front of his neighbours and friends that his daughter is getting married to the Raizada's as if it was an achievement for him.

He never told anyone that Arnav and khushi had fell in love with each other... as he thought that it will be shameful for him to disclose it to anyone... he just said that the Raizadas themselves approached him for khushi's hand.

Ratna had called Garima and asked her permission to take khushi to temple as she wanted to meet her, though initially shashi denied later on he agreed due to Garima's request saying that now khushi is going to be their daughter in law and they cant deny them, it will look bad at their end and Ratnaji may feel offended.

Though Arnav pestered Ratna a lot to join her as he can meet khushi as well... Ratna denied saying that she is going to meet her daughter and its a ladies outing and hence he is not allowed.

They had nice time with each other and Ratna came to know khushi more, she is a down to earth person with simple dreams in her life.

The marriage preparation started in full swing and since there were two weddings in Raizada house... Ratna was literally on toes. Arun had also taken a break from his hectic schedule to help his wife.

Ratna had taken Anjali and khushi for shopping and bought some beautiful dresses for them, though khushi denied she didn't stop and bought some traditional as well as some casuals for khushi.

Khushi told that she will wear saari after marriage to which Ratna said she don't need to, she is free to live her life the way she wants ... in their family they give equal rights to men and women and her chotey is also not conservative to make her wear saree and all and she bought some nice chudidaars as well as jeans and t-shirts she also told khushi that if she is comfortable then only she should wear, upon which she promised her that she will try everything. Khushi never new that one day she will be married to such a family where her wishes and dreams will be given equal importance.

At khushi's house the preparations had started, Shashi and Vinod had sorted out their difference as shashi thought there is no point in keeping grudges anymore. They helped each other in the preparations as both the marriages were on the same day.

Shashi was slowly coming out of his shell, he had also started having normal conversations with khushi and this reduced the stress khushi was having since long and she was happy that everything was going smoothly.

The engagement was fixed in a hurry burry and at Raizada Mansion, and everyone agreed for the same. Both khushi and anjali were looking out of the world and Arnav and Rohan couldn't help themselves from ooggling at them, to which their fathers teased them like hell.

The ring ceremony was done among close family and friends, after exchanging rings Arnav was not ready to leave khushi's hand and shashi was giving looks to Arnav, but vinod made him understand that its their day and he should just relax.

Hmmm... Mom I wanted to show khushi my room , can I just give her a round of my room.

Ratna gave a look to Arnav as if asking really...to which Arnav gave a pleading look and she couldn't help herself from giving permission.

Rohan and Anjali had also sneaked out of the hall, to have their private time and the elders were busy discussing marriage preparations which is supposed to happen next week.

Arnav pushed khushi to his room and closed the door. Arnav... what are you doing my parents are down behave yourself... khushi said.

Arnav grabbed her by waist... which were tempting him since long... really khushi... since long you are killing me in that sinful lehenga choli you are wearing , you know how much I was tempted to roam my hands on that petite waist of yours... aur tum bhi kuch kam nahi ho...

You knew I will be tempted still you wore that to kill me... khushi hung her hands on his neck and said... its not my fault tell di... she had purposefully selected that dress though I objected saying that her chotey will like it.

Hmmm... you see di knows my taste...but now since you are here in my arms... you cant stop me... saying that he tuned her around so that she was leaning on him with her back facing him.

She was breathing hard with nervousness thinking what he is going to do.

Relax... Iam not going to eat you... Arnav said.

She closed her eyes...and he slowly and gently caressed her waist while giving a deep kiss on her neck... He breathed hard feeling happy that this sinful lady is his to cherish...his grip tightened on her waist and he kissed her earlobe whispering sweet nothings... with a deep sigh he said... I LOVE YOU... I LOVE YOU my love... love you so much...

A drop of tear rolled down her cheek... and she hugged him turning around... Arnav I still cant believe that we are going to be one... you know first when I fell for you... I didn't know about our future and thought like I will never be able to get you in my life... she pulled herself back and looked in his eyes which were full of unconditional love for her... and now when you are so close to me... I cant believe my self and I will thank devi maiyya and Ratna Ma for making this dream come true and thanks Arnavv... thanks for coming into my life and loving me so much...

He smiled and kissed her forehead... thanks to you for accepting my love... he said

She giggled... did I had a choice other than accepting... you were so mad about me that if I would have denied you would have kidnapped me...

He smiled and said with intense eyes... Kya Karu... TERE PYAAR NE KAR DIYA DEEWANA...

See you in next update...

Please have a look at my new FF Rang as well.

Part 14

Next day khushi and her mom went for shopping, she had got a call from her jiji in US, who unfortunately will not be able to attend the wedding.

Hello... jiji hum tumse naraaz hain, why are you not coming for your only sisters wedding.

Khushi... Iam sorry, you know na... Rahul's parents will not allow me to go when Iam pregnant and I don't want to oppose them. Anyways my wishes and blessings are always there with you.

You are very lucky khushi... you have got such loving in laws who are ready to fulfill all your dreams, I got to know everything from Amma... and Babuji? Iam surprised that he agreed for your love marriage... I must say Arnav's parents are really good that they could convince him.

Ya jiji... they all are lovely... I don't know what would have happened if they had not convinced babuji... I cant even imagine a life without Arnav... said khushi

You love him a lot no... payal asked...

Yes jiji... and more than me he loves me too much, if babuji wouldnt have agreed then Arnav would have gone to any extent and that would have been worse... good that everything happened smoothly.

After few days it was the day of mehendi and there was lot of shor and dhamaka going on at shantivan and since two weddings were together... all the functions were planned in shantivan.

Shashi didn't oppose as he was happy that he doesnt have to spend much. At the same time he was happy that his daughter is going to get married to such a prestigious family.

Its not that he didn't love his daughter, but from ages its a legacy and he has seen in his family... he has seen his ancestors... the way women were treated in their family, according to them women were meant to be house wifes taking care of the husbands family and he is not able to change his mindset, but still... now when the changes are happening he is accepting it with difficulty.

The mehendi ceremony was meant to be a ladies function.. and as usual guys were not liking this fact. All the elder men, the fathers of the brides and grooms were having their fun time outside iin the lawn with their friends and shashi, Arun and vinod were busy with their friends, where as the guys were sulking here unable to see their brides.

Arey NK yaar... this is not fair... its our marriage and we are not even to allowed to meet our brides, Iam simply not going to accept it... what say Rohan?

I agree with you saale sahab... Iam too not liking it... I want to see Anjali... what is she wearing how is her mehendi... what should we do?

Guys its not a good choice to peep, pakde gaye toh bohot maar padne waai hai... Aakash said.

Aakash please... NK said.. whats life without some fun and cheating.

Lavanya heard all of these ... Guys whats going on?

Lavanya dear you know na I love so much... Arnav said... please help me... I want to see khushi ... please once only... please pretty please..

The way they all were pleading... Lavanaya melted soon... ok ok guys... let me think of something.

Ok there is a back door from the kitchen you know right... Arnie???

Ya ya I know... never explored kitchen much... but pata hai...

Ok so if you get inside from there you can slowly reach the hall... where the function is going on..

Now how you come its up to you, I will make sure nobody comes in kitchen and all the snacks are kept in hall before hand, so that nobody need to come on kitchen.

Done meri Jhansi ki rani yo!!! Nk said cheering everyone

Lavanya rolled her eyes... aur haan if you are caught then dare you say my name... she warned

As planned Arnav Rohan, Nk and Aakash slowly entered through the backside of the kitchen and reached the hall and were peeping in through the wall... Lavanya signaled them to hide behind the wall so that they are not caught.

Rohan saw Anjali, she was wearing... a purple and pink colour lehenga... and was looking extremely beautiful like a blossoming flower.. he suddenly had this urge to go and hug her and tell her that she was the most beautiful bride in this world and that smile uff... he was not able to control himself.

Where as Arnav had suddenly disappeared and Nk and Aakash were worried as to where he has gone.

Arnav had grabbed a duppatta which he had picked up from Anjali's room and he wrapped it around him. He saw everyone was busy in chit chatting and slowly came behind khushi and sat among the ladies... nobody doubted him as he was covering his head with dupatta and luckily since khushi was facing her back towards kitchen it was easy for him to reach behind her.

He admired her attire.. she was wearing a red and yellow colored lehenga with backless blouse and his throat became dry seeing her like this... Control Arnav Control.. he said like a mantra to himself.

He had this urge to roam his hands on her milky skin which was visible to his eyes through that sinful choli... has she dressed to kill me... god why did I come here.. now he regretted his decision as he was not able to control his jumping hormones.

He slowly came behind and whispered in her ears so that only she can hear... khushi...

She jolted and her eyes popped out... please don't scream or else these ladies will eat me alive.. Arnav said.

Arnav... what are you doing here.. you are not allowed...

And who will stop me ... you know me... if I want to see you... I will... by hook or crook.

Smart Raizada... all your smartness will go if maa will catch you...

She will not if you will cooperate... He said nuzzling her ears.

Arn..av... stop... please... she said getting uncomfortable with goose bums all over.

You know you are a devil... you know that I have mehendi in my hands and I cant even move.. and you are not helping me taking advantage of the situation.

MMhmmm... sweetheart... I just came to see you and your mehendi... but what to do... you are killing me with your attire... who told you to wear such a revealing choli... my hands are itching you know...to touch you to devour you to my hearts content.

She blushed... blushed like a tomato... don't do that or else people will notice your red face and have a doubt.. show me your mehendi no please... Arnav whispered in her ears...

Arnav you are not supposed to see before marriage its upshagun they say...

Oh common I don't believe in all this crap, show me please...

She slowly opened her hands and quickly showed him... ok bas now go...

One more thing... Can I ...Can I just kiss you once on your back...? please ... Iam controlling since long but ... Iam not able to... just once... then I promise that I will leave... tumhaari kasam..

Khushi was nervous with his request... but at the same time she was not able to stop him... as she wanted it too... wanted to feel his lips on her back... how it will be like..

Arnav... Please... main... Main... koi dekh lega.. she said.

Koi nahi dekhega Jaan... just once... Can I?

He slowly brought his lips towards her back all the way sliding his hands on her waist, which was covered by the dupatta.

Khushi closed her eyes in anticipation... when she felt his hot breath on her back and then those sinful lips smooching her back... and she was lost in ecstasy... Arnav felt her reaction and he had this urge to grab her and kiss her senseless till the time she is breathless.. but he knew he cant... he loved the effect he has on her, how responsive she was to his touch.. I love you... he whispered.. and left the place without anyone noticing...

Lavanya saw khushi's red blushing face and said... khushi... stop blushing... its quite visible on your face.

Arnav was happy that he could achieve what he wanted and the effect was blissful, his heart was content..

Next day it was Haldi function and since it has to happen in respective houses nobody got a chance to meet each other and as usual Arnav was sulking as to when the rituals will get over and he will get khushi all to himself.

It was a day before the wedding, when Ratna entered Arnav's room and saw his dreamy face... she know she had to do this... it will be very harsh on her part... but it was better for her children's future.

Chotey... Can I talk to you..

Mom please come... you don't have to ask... banda haazir hain aapke liye.

Chotey... what I want to talk.. its quite serious and I know you may feel that Iam becoming rude on you and khushi... but its all for your future.

Arnav saw that his mother was serious...

What happened mom..

Ratna signed...

Arnav you know that you and khushi have not completed your studies and you both are getting married at an early age, I didn't want you to loose khushi... thats the reason I agreed and convinced khushi's parents as well... but you have to promise me something.

Your dad has enrolled you in Harvard... and as soon your results come out you will be going to US for further studies and hence I don't want you to jump into your married life so soon as it will be difficult for you to concentrate on your studies..

Hence after marriage... khushi... will be..it was difficult for ratna and looking at Arnav's expression... she was finding it difficult to disclose it

Khushi will be...? arnav asked... getting scared of Ratna's decision

Khushi will be staying in a separate room and not with you..

Whaattt?... Mom... you cant do this to me... common we are adults mom and not kids... what are you saying it does not make any sense to me.

Chotey listen to me... instead of getting angry think about it, once you will be close to khushi... will it be easy for you to stay away from her and go to US for two years.. tell me..Arnav didn't had answers..

Iam making it easy for you... initially it will be difficult Arnav... but think about it... khushi is young and you too... its better for you both... khushi too has dreams.. she too wants to study further and this way you both will not be distracted.. from your motto in life.

See I was not in favour of your early marriage but still agreed as I didn't want Shashiji to fix khushi's future with some one else... and she wouldnt have gone against him you too know that and hence now when we have agreed to your wish.. cant you do this much for your parents for your future and she is yours forever Arnav... once you get married she will be your wife and nobody can change that fact.. its just that staying away will make your relation and bond more strong.. you will learn to focus on your future and I don't think I'm wrong here.

Arnav closed his eyes... he was trying to digest the fact that khushi will be away from him though they are in the same house.

What did khushi say... have you spoken to her? He asked

Yes... Initially she was little upset but she agreed to my suggestion and herself said that its better for your future.

Meanwhile Arun and Anjali came ... anjali just cupped his cheek... chotey... I know my chotey is strong... remember our parents always have our best interests...

Chotey... please don't be angry with me... I promise... khushi is yours and its my responsibility to take care of her in your absence and she will be my daughter and not daughter in law..

I know you love her a lot and cant stay away from her... but please its important for your future.

Ok Mom... I accept your condition... but can I ... Can I get a day alone with khushi... I promise... I will be in my limits and not break your trust on us.

Its just that she has never seen happiness in her life always agreeing to her parents wishes.. I just want to take her out and make her feel the real happiness in life... I want her to enjoy life... and do all those things which she has never done in her life.

Arun and Ratna were proud of their son... how much he cares for his love... how much he thinks for her happiness.

Ratna smiled... and said chotey she is all yours... I have already booked tickets for manali... its not like honeymoon.. that you will be celebrating once you are back from US, but just that you can spend some time with her before going to US, and as I said you are mature enough to think why Mom has put such a condition, hence make her feel special in your own way, its just that I don't want you both to get into a marital relationship so soon, its a big responsibility and you both are not yet prepared for it.

Thanks Mom... thank you so much.

Goodnight beta sleep... tomorrow is a big day for you.

Arnav called khushi and spoke to her about Mom's condition..

Tum theek ho... khush toh ho na tum...Arnav asked..

Arnav you know... I have never felt so much happiness in my life ever... Maa is so understanding... I know it might not have been easy for her as well to discuss this with us... but look at the other side... she is so understanding... she is planning for our future and don't want us to spoil our future and hence asking a small sacrifice from us... its ok.. the life she has given me by agreeing to this proposal... the trust she has shown in me...I cannot thank her enough... she has given you to me Arnav... and I'm garteful to her for my whole life...and for that Iam ready to do anything she tells me.. end of the day if she wouldnt have agreed than I wouldnt have been able to fulfill my dreams... she thought of my studies allowed me to study post marriage that itself is a big thing for me... kya hum unke liye itna nahi kar sakte... we can do right Arnav...

Right... you know Iam lucky to have a life partner like you khushi... you accepted my Mom my family so well..

Mhhmm.. Iam lucky to have you and your family in my life...

Goodnight.. dear.. sleep well.. tomorrow is an important day for both of us... our love is going to get a name and we are going to be one.

Love you...khushi...

Love you too Arnav...
