Khushi was sitting with her cousins who were busy teasing her about Arnavji. Khushi was trying hard not to blush but she couldn't control. She would be angry at the same time if anyone would praise Arnav a little more than her expectations. She was laughing and blushing when suddenly her phone rang and she looked and it was Arnavji calling.
"Khushi jiji, take the call nah! Itna bhi sharmaiye mat . Hum sabko pata chal chuka hai, ki kissne call kiya hai"(Khushi jiji, take the call nah! We all know that who has called you now)
Khushi blushed harder and pushed her cousins out of her room and took the call. The moment she took the call she remained quite and felt her heart beat's getting higher and higher.
"Khushi!" The name itself made her smile and she blushed like an idiot. She finally regained her conciousness when she saw herself in the mirror.
"Ji, Arnavji" Arnav closed his eyes when she called his name. This was the first time someone may be have called his name so sweetly,so softly. His trance broke when she asked him again.
"Arnavji, aap hai nah?" (Arnavji, you there nah?) Arnav just hm-ed when she said and both remained quite for sometime,feeling their heart beats to each other. Suddenly Arnav's room door was knocked and he had to keep the phone abruptly.
"Bhabhi, what happened? Why did you disturb me at this moment? I was pretty busy" Anjali laughed when Arnav said this. Rahul and Nani had also entered and they were shocked to see Anjali laughing without any reason.
"Anjali! are you fine? Oh my god...I think my wife has gone crazy after getting her chottey married" Rahul exclaimed dramatically to which Arnav gave and look to them and Nani laughed slowly.
"Chottey, I was laughing because you have started lying to to your Bhabhi also? Hey Devi maiyya, ab tak patniji aayi bhi nahi...aur humare chottey ka yeh haal hai. Pata nahi Khushi ke aane ke baad kya hoga" (Hey Devi maiyya, still your wife didn't come...and my chottey is in this state. When she will come, what will happen chottey)
Anjali said and fell on Arnav's shoulder. Arnav took the sherwani from Anjalis hand and went inside the washroom to change.
Soon Raizada's had reached the hall where the Gupta's were already present. Many of the old women from Gupta Family were praising Arnav,with pulling his cheeks and kissing his forehead. Rahul and Akash were enjoying Arnav's state a lot.
"Arrey, ladka dikhne main toh kitna aacha hai. Mangni ke din toh theek se dekh bhi nahi payi thi isse" (Oh my god, the boy looks so handsome. On the engagement day I couldn't see him properly). One of the old lady exclaimed while the other one sat near Arnav.
"Nahi Kanta jiji, Uss din toh Arnav bitwa thode kale dikh rahe thee. Lagtha hai aaj khub makeupwa kiye rahe hai" (No Knata jiji, that day Arnav bitwa looked a bit dark. I guess today he had done a lot of makeup and come). Akash literally spilled the juice out from his mouth while Anjali and Rahul were laughing looking at Arnav.
"Anjali bitiyaan, It's time we take Arnav to the mandap. I'll bring Khushi in a while" Garima said and all proceeded towards the hall. Arnav was the happiest thinking that now none of the family members would tease him now. Khushi was soon brought down by Anjali and Garima. All were in 'awed' when they saw Khushi. Rahul winked Arnav who turned back to see Khushi. All the time reaching till the mandap, Khushi's eyes were down.
Soon the marriage was over and Khushi-Arnav were taking blessing from their elders. After the biddai Khushi and Arnav sat in the car. Khushi was crying in the car and Arnav was passing her tissue papers continuously. One box was over and Arnav looked at Khushi, shockingly.
"Anjali Bhabhi also never cried this much during her bidaai" Arnav was a little loud and he looked at Khushi who was staring at him angrily.
"Sorry,Sorry" Arnav caught his ears and Khushi smiled. He kept the tissue box backside and looked at Khushi who was staring outside now.
"Khushi, umm...you look very pretty today. I mean you look, beautiful" Khushi's heart stopped beating when Arnav said her this. She smiled lightly and thanked him nodding her head. Soon they reached the Raizada Mansion where the rituals were started. Finally all were exhausted and Anjali took Khushi to their room. She made her sit on on the bed and caressed her face.
"Khushi, I just want to tell you something. You won't feel bad, right?"
"No Bhabhi, please tell me"
"Khushi, sometimes it happens that...we do some mistakes and then later we find it very difficult to accept it. But it's always better to accept it as soon as possible and also forget the matter soon.I hope, if chottey does anything like this...you will forgive him. Right?" Khushi smiled and kept her hand on Anjali's.
"Ya di, but I know Arnavji. He is a very nice person, a person whom everybody wants as a husband and as a friend and I feel myself lucky to have Arnavji as my life partner. But I'm also sure that he would never lie to me...Never-Ever"
Anjali smiled and kissed Khushi's forehead and went out of the room but both of them were not aware that Arnav had heard their talks. He had been in guilty since morning because he wanted her to confess about Abhimanyu. Not that he had done some crime, but Khushi thinks he have saved her from that Abhimanyu. Arnav finally, after about 10 minutes decided to enter the room and saw Khushi standing near the poolside window.
As soon as Arnav entered the room, Khushi knew it. She didn't knew why but her heart had started beating fast. Gosh she has gone completely crazy now! He came and stood near her. Khushi smiled and turned towards him.
"Khushi I.."
"Arnavji I.."
Both smiled when they said the same sentence together. Arnav scratch his head and saw her.
"Hmm, okay! Khushi you say first"
"No Arnavji, you say...as I heard you speaking first"
"Umm, yah! But...We both spoke together, isn't it?"
Both laughed but Arnav was again lost in her. Wow, she looked like the most beautiful creature god had made. She stopped smiling when she saw Arnav looking at her. All of a sudden Arnav pulled her hand and they made their way towards the bed. He made Khushi sit and she looked at him nervously.
"Khushi, it's high time I confess you..." Arnav said and Khushi looked at him confused.
"Confess...confess what? That you love me? But, yah...I already know it Arnavji" Khushi replied smiling and blushing too.
"No, I'm not saying about this. I mean I'm trying to tell you about, about Abhimanyu" Khushi looked shocked when Arnav said this. The hand which she had on his had abruptly went back and Arnav looked confused at her behaviour. Khushi stood up all of a sudden.
"Arnavji, please. I just! I just don't want to talk about him. I earlier said you, that...I will try to forget him. Then why are you taking this topic out right now?"
"Khushi, It's not about him mostly. But I have to tell you something which is utmost important now"
"What do you want to tell me, that you did this all on purpose, because you loved me...from the day you saw me watering the plants. You did this because..umm, what was that dialogue ! 'What Arnav Singh Raizada Want's he get's that' " Saying Khushi started laughing and Arnav was shocked to know that she already knew it.
"You, You knew this? and your behaving with me in such a casual manner, like...like nothing happened? I thought you would leave me and go and get angry or start crying etc etc"
"No Arnavji, why would I cry, why would I be angry on you because I know you did this all for me. And I didn't forgive you because I had to, but I did this because...Even, I...I Love you Arnavji"
Arnav's breath stopped for a minute when Khushi said this. She loved him? Did he hear right, or was it some dream. Khushi held his hand and he stood up.
"Arnavji, when Abhimanyu's truth had come out first...that day, that second and that minute itself he was gone out from my heart and my life. Yah, I agree that I kept thinking about it but, it was not about HIM, but it was that how could I do such a big mistake in my life. Arnavji, since childhood my father did everything for me and I did what he always said to me. For the first time, I tried to do something alone, and in that also...I failed" Khushi wiped her tears and turned her back towards him
"Then I decided that, babuji does whatever is always for my good because he knows the world better than me. So I decided to give this marriage a chance and within this 1 week I didn't know when I fell in love with you Arnavji. Your care,your possessiveness and your love, your patience and kindness...may be these are things which made me fall in love with you"
Arnav came in front of her and wiped her tears and hugged her tightly. She too hugged him closing her eyes. He broke the hug and looked at her.
"Khushi, I Love you.." She smiled and hugged him back again when she heard Arnav again.
"Khushi, how did you come to know about this? I thought I would say it to you today" Khushi broke the hug and made him sit on the bed. She went near the dressing table while removing her jewellery.
"Arnavji, yesterday...you were too drunk. So don't remember may be"
"What yesterday? Oh my god...I seriously don't remember anything. Even Bhabhi was angry today morning because I drank alcohol yesterday but Akash and Bhai had said me that it was fruit juice. So I drank, but thank god I drank that...or else how would you come to know that.."
Arnav was stopped as Khushi came and held his hands
"That you love me.." Both smiled and hugged each other.
"I Love you Khushi"
"I...Love yo...your Sherwnai Arnavji" Khushi said and ran throughout the room with Arnav chasing her.

** Sorry guy's I didn't write about the flashback of how Khushi came to know from Arnav. If I would have written then the update would have gone pretty long.
