Part 8
Flashback continues
Arnav quickly took her to his car parked at the back side.She felt happy that he was there but was very sad for her mother.All the preparations for wedding were over and she was cheating her mother.She felt uneasy.He drove for nearly 1 hour and stopped in front of a building..He didn't speak much during the drive.Two men were waiting there.They came forward and spoke to Arnav in a low voice.He took her hands and went inside the building. She saw two women waiting for her. She was served with food.She couldn't eat much. She was taken to a room and saw there a gorgeous red saree and bridal ornaments.The women put mehendi on her hands and wrote the letter A in her palm.It was almost 8 o'clock at night.After 2 hrs they dressed her as a bride.She was taken to the living room where Arnav was waiting in the wedding dress.He looked so handsome that Khushi very much wanted to be in his arms.Arnav was looking at her as though he see her for the first time.He took her hands and they proceeded in his car.He told her that they were going to temple.He parked his car outside,opened the car and led her to the temple.There was total silence,a light breeze was coming and when they reached the mandir,in front of the deity,he took the mangalasutra from his pocket,applied Devi's sindoor ,and tied it around her neck.Then he applied sindoor on her forehead.She couldn't even believe what was going on.She looked at him with tear filled eyes.He hugged her and kissed her forehead.He said:Now we are man and wife.I wanted only you and me at this moment.
He again drove for nearly 1 hour and reached a building.It was a small villa which looked like an outhouse.
Khushi looked at him questioningly.Arnav:It's my building .My office is nearby.There is only half an hour to my house from here.Get down.
Khushi got down and went inside with a thudding heart .He closed the door and asked her to go to the bedroom.She went to the room pointed by him.She opened the door and to her astonishment saw it decorated for suhaagraat.Her heart missed a beat.
He came inside and whispered in her ear:Do you like it?Today you are going to give yourself to me.Your everything is mine now.I'm the sole owner of your soul and body.I want you Khushi.I can't wait.You were playing with my emotions from the moment I met you.Now you are mine.Mine only.You are beautiful.I won't allow you to sleep today and the coming days...
She felt very shy and thought that she was going to faint.Arnav hugged her from behind and kissed her cheeks.A tremor went through her.Her whole body became weak.She stood in his arms forgetting the world.He kissed her neck.She turned and hugged him.The desire became too strong when he began to kiss her.But something struck her mind and she withdrew herself.
Arnav asked in a hoarse whisper:what happened?
Khushi replied in a trembling voice:Arnav ji, I'm not ready.
Arnav:What the hell?
Khushi:Arnav ji,I want to know whether you married me due to your own decision or you came due to my request to see you?
Arnav:You fool, I had already decided to take you away earlier, on the day your mother denied the proposal.But due to my mother's ill health, my presence was required at home.But I had already decided to marry you whether you like me or not.
Khushi:Would your family accept me?
Arnav:They have to.
Khushi:Arnavji,I want their blessings before we start our life.
Arnav:Actually what is wrong with you?I never wanted to marry until I met you.I never wanted a girl as I want you.You don't know me well.
Khushi:I know Arnav ji but I want the blessings of our parents .
Arnav:You are testing my patience.
Khushi:No,I am not ready now.I want the blessings of your mother.
Arnav was too angry now.He said: Do you think that I'm playing with you?That I simply want sex with you?Ok.If that is your decision,then listen to what I have to say.This moment on wards,we are man and wife in name only.We won't sleep together.I would never come to you till you accept me on your own.I want to hear it from you.I would wait till you come to me and accept me as your husband .But then I would demand whatever I want,you are supposed to obey.
Flash back over.
She realised now that it is a mistake from her part.It's almost one month after marriage and Arnav didn't force himself on her.One day Anjali asked Arnav and Khushi regarding their honeymoon.Arnav answered:Sure,di,we are going but now I'm a little busy.So may go after a few days.
Khushi cooked food for him and they were leading a normal life except being in separate bedrooms.Both of them found it suffocating to be in different rooms.They couldn't sleep properly.One wanted the other .Arnav found it intolerable.One day he came early from office with severe cold and fever.Khushi was tensed but remained with him in his room .She gave medicines and food as per the directions of Aakash who was a doctor.Arnav slept well and at night woke up and after taking medicine and food again went to sleep.She sponged his forehead with cold water and sat beside him on the bed.After midnight she often fell asleep but woke up in between.When Arnav opened his eyes around 3.00 am he saw Khushi sleeping near him with her head on his pillow but her legs on the floor.He slowly,without disturbing her,laid her beside him and looked at her face.He found her very adorable and realised how strong his love for her.He put his hands around her and draw her towards him.He knew that she loved him but she was very naughty not to say that.He kissed her lightly on the lips.She moved slightly but curdled in his arms .He slept for the first time after their marriage happy and content.
Khushi woke up with a slight headache and she couldn't believe what she saw.She was comfortably sleeping in the hands of Arnav.She tried to recall what happened but couldn't.She was feeling very warm in his hands and had a feeling which she couldn't explain.She didn't want to move.She looked at him.He was sleeping comfortably.She lightly kissed his cheeks and put her hands around him.Arnav who was pretending sleeping smiled to himself and enjoyed the moment.He decided to do some pranks on her.
Finally when she woke up,she didn't see him on the bed.She was shocked to find that it was late in the morning.And also she was embarassed to meet him.She hurried to take bath and got ready within a few minutes.She went down and saw Arnav sitting in the living room reading the news paper.She felt very awkward but went near him and asked:Arnav ji,how are you?
Arnav looked at her meaningfully and said:I'm perfectly ok.
Khushi:Did you have breakfast?
It was Anjali who answered.
Anjali:No,waiting for you.We all had already.
Arnav and Khushi went to the dining table and sat nearby.
While Khushi was serving,Arnav put his hands on hers which made her jump.Arnav:Why Khushi?
Khushi:Nothing..nothing at all.
Arnav:Did you sleep well?
Khushi couldn't concentrate in eating.She said:Yeah..yeah..sure.
After sometime Khushi was cleaning Arnav's room and he entered.He went straight to where Khushi was standing near the cupboard and stretched both his hands towards her.She was trembling all over,looked at him.He leaned towards her but suddenly took a file from the cupboard and left the room.
She tried to calm herself.
As it was a Sunday,all the members were there.AAkash wanted to take selfies and he called all to their garden in the evening.Khushi was wearing a saree as she went to temple with Asha and Anjali that evening.Arnav was waiting for an opportunity to be very near to her .She looked extremely beautiful.They together began to click snaps.
Aakash:Now a selfie with Khushi ji and Bhai.Arnav quickly pulled Khushi to himself.His hands were on her naked waist.She shut her eyes.
Aakash:It's not ok.Khushi ji had shut her eyes.One more snap Bhai.
Arnav was trying to control smiling but Khushi was too embarassed.
Arnav again pulled her to him and hands were kept in the same position.Aakash called everyone for a snap.Arnav was holding her tight .She could feel his breathe on her neck.
As the photo session was over she ran to her room ,closed the door and stood leaning on it.
She said to herself:No,i can't control myself.I want him.I love him.
Arnav enjoyed the moments,He very much knew the feelings of Khushi.
The next day when he reached the office,he got a message from her."I want to talk to you Arnav ji".
Arnav replied:"will go out in the evening.Now I'm busy"
He felt very happy.
