BAARAATIS

An exclusive Chat Club for all readers of 'Shaadi'.

Welcome to a whole new thread for you all!

This is our new meeting place where you can comment on updates, discuss my characters, get nostalgic about the show that brought us together, and say anything that comes to mind!

Of course, there are a few rules we need to follow here. The first page of the CC forum lists those, and I'd like for you all to read them.

A few reminders:

* Please do not post personal details on this thread. You don't want the world to find out stuff about you like BioSys found out about Khushi's resignation, do you?

*Please do not talk about other members/DT's/ forums. This is purely a place for us to celebrate 'Shaadi' and wait to find out when ArHi will kiss again, and let's keep it that way!

*Please adhere to the CC forum rules. I really want this thread to work for all of us, and I wouldn't want anyone to jeopardize that by accident. Let the baaraat flourish!

But above all, please let down your hair, sway to the music, and enjoy being 'Baaraatis'!

A few more details:

I will send out PMs to everyone on my buddy list and tweet the link whenever I update. But if you are not on my buddy list or twitter, here are the links to my blogs.

The first link is to my main blog which consists of links to all my stories. And the second is a direct link to the 'Shaadi' blog.

The blogs are open to everyone.

https://expelspells.wordpress.com/

http://shaadibyexpel.wordpress.com/2014/02/19/prologue/

In addition, I will update the title of this thread when I post an update. You can also choose to follow the blog itself, and then you will receive an email alert.

This is my first time making a blog, and I would love to hear your feedback/suggestions about them!

And finally, anything from a 500 word comment to an 'Update soon' is more than welcome on this thread. This is the sole reason why I've moved here, and I would love to hear from you all!

But if you are reading this silently, then that is fine with me as well. I can PM you the blog link if you want, there are no rules about commenting on the story.

With all that said, let's spam, comment and discuss to our heart's content.

With lot's of love to all my baaraatis, (well, not mine, exactly. ArHi's.)😆

Juhi.

P.S: The posts after the main post will consist of an Update post and a Res for a teaser. Enjoy!

Excerpt from Chapter Five

Unbidden, I walk faster as the door comes into view.

I try to assess what is in my mind, and I recognize anticipation, eagerness...and a loss of control that angers me.

Deliberately, I slow down.

As I open the door and walk through the darkened living-room, I fight back the small voice in my head that tells me that this is a losing battle.

Everything conspires against me.

At every single step, I am reminded of her.

Khushi Raizada, my wife of a few weeks.

My gaze falls on the staircase, and I remember her nervous tones as she escorted Di and Shyam a few nights ago.

The hallway outside the bedrooms reminds me of her flustered face as I spoke to Di.

And when I allow myself to glance into her open room, the sight of the ivory covers on her bed make me still.

I have forgotten nothing about that night.

The scent and feel and sight of her is seared across my brain, and I quickly turn away to block the memories from coming back now.

After all, there's only so many cold showers a man can bear.

I open the door that leads to my room, then pause.

Where is she?

Without conscious thought, my feet turn back towards the stairs and I find myself going back onto the main floor.

I look through all the rooms, but she isn't there.

I am about to give up and call her on her cell-phone when my gaze falls on the sliding door that leads out to the backyard.

Moments later, I am walking down the path that leads to the lawns, and I finally see that my guess was right.

Seated in the gazebo, her face turned up to the clear night sky is my wife, Khushi.

I walk up behind her, but she doesn't notice me yet.

I, however, notice everything about her.

The moonlight gilds her unbound hair, and her beautiful profile appears radiant.

Damn.

I can't believe I just said that, even if it is only in my thoughts.

Apart from everything else, is she turning me into a freaking poet now?

I stride across the gravel that separates me from her in a futile attempt to run from my own thoughts.

And finally, she hears my footsteps.

Her slight shoulders stiffen, then relax as she turns around to face me.

There is no hesitation in her eyes, and I find myself wondering just how she knew it was me.

"Did you just get back?"

The query snaps me out of my introspection, and I seat myself beside her before replying.

"Yes."

"I saw the press conference on TV. You took Silicon Valley by storm tonight."

A sense of pride overpowers all else for a moment, but then I shrug in apparent nonchalance.

"It's all in a day's work."

She smiles, then turns away to face the green expanse of the lawn again.

"Good for you, then."

Something captures my attention then.

Maybe it's the hint of melancholy in her tone...or the defeated set of her shoulders...somehow, I know that all is not right in her world.

"Is something wrong?"

She looks up then, and I can almost see the wheels turning in her head as she decides if she wants to confide in me...or not.

And somehow, that decision becomes all important to me.

As I wait for her to speak, my eyes drift towards her lips...something that has become an unconscious habit of mine.

I remember how they felt against mine...and I wonder how they would feel against other parts of me.

Woah.

I mentally take a step back from the fantasy that has sprung to mind, and shift on the bench to alleviate the discomfort in my trousers.

She parts those tempting lips to speak, and I try to concentrate on her words even as my body wants something else entirely.

This woman is clearly going to be the death of me.

A/N:

Thank you all for joining me on the blog!

Chapter Five will be up only on the blog on Thursday, late night IST. (Links are in the main post above)

See you soon!
