Part 4
It had been months since Khushi and Arnav had first begun dating.Their feelings for each other were growing and they could feel it too.
One day Arnav took Khushi to a gazebo in a secluded place.He bent down on his knee and took out a ring "Khushi I know it's only been a few months since we began dating and I just want to tell you that ever since the day I saw you I have always been enchanted by you.I thought what I felt for you was mere attraction but it's been a few weeks since I actually realized I have always loved you.Khushi,will you marry me and always be by my side?"
Khushi grinned from happiness and nodded "Yes Arnav"
Arnav smiled and slipped the ring on her finger.He stood up.Picking her up in his arms he twirled her around making her laugh.
**************************************************
"Di I want to get married" announced Arnav.
Anjali gasped.She widened her eyes and then she shook her head and said "I think I heard you wrong Chottey.What did you just say?"
"I want to get married Di" Arnav repeated.
"Nani!" Anjali squealed "Chottey wants to get married!"
Nani came rushing "Is what I heard true? Chottey wants to get married?"
Arnav rolled his eyes and sighed "Yes Nani.I want to get married"
"Sanjana,your chottey wants to get married!" she called Arnav's mother.
"What? Is it true Chottey?" asked Sanjana rushing down.
"Yes mom"
"Dev! Your chottey wants to get married!" she called Arnav's dad.
"What? Is it true chottey?" asked Dev rushing down.
Arnav groaned "Yes dad"
Sanjana grinned "Do you have any girl in mind or should we begin our search?"
Arnav shook his head and smiled "I have a girl in mind"
"Who" Anjali asked.
"Khushi.Khushi Kumari Gupta"
"Oh that's such a lovely name.We should go talk to her parents an-" said Nani.
"Her parents are no more"
Nani looked at Arnav surprised "What?"
"Her parents died in an accident a few years ago"
"Oh poor thing" said Dev.
Arnav nodded "But she's still a wonderful girl and I want to marry her and only her"
Anjali smirked at her brother's words "Somebody's getting desperate" she teased.
"Di!"
**************************************************
Khushi frowned when she heard her door bell ring 'Who is here?' she wondered.She went to the door and opened it.Her eyes widened when she saw a large family totally unknown to her in front of her doorstep "Namaste" she greeted "Um do I know you"
"No but we have come to launch a complaint against you for robbery and theft" said a woman who looked in her mid twenties.
Khushi frowned "Me? But what did I steal?"
The woman smirked "My brother's heart of course"
"Oh stop it Di" came a familiar voice.
Khushi turned her head towards that direction "Arnav" she recognized.
Arnav smiled "Hey Khushi.Meet my family.My sister,Nani,mom,and dad" he introduced.
Khushi greeted them all and welcomed them in her home "Um can I get you something to drink or-"
"I prefer we get straight down to business" said Dev leaning forward on his seat.He clasped his hands together "I was hoping we could seal this deal-"
"Oh shut up" said Sanjana annoyed "You can do your business deals at work but not here.Especially during your son's marriage arrangements"
Dev frowned "Fine"
Sanjana smirked and looked at Khushi "Don't worry dear.Only women rule the house so you should be perfectly fine ruling over your husband and father in law"
"Hey!" Arnav and Dev nearly yelled.
"Be quiet" snapped Nani.
They immediately went silent.Khushi giggled and then began laughing uncontrollably.The family joined with her.After a few minutes they calmed down.Sanjana held Khushi's hands "Do you like Chotte?"
"Chotte?"
Sanjana giggled "Arnav" she said.
Khushi gave a small blush and looked at Arnav.He just smiled at her.She looked back at a wondering Sanjana "Yes" she whispered softly.
And the arrangements were fixed.
**************************************************
The family were waiting for Arnav in the car.Arnav was with Khushi "You should have told me you were bringing your family here" pouted Khushi "I would have been more prepared"
Arnav chuckled "You did perfectly fine and I know my family is already in love with you"
"Really" Khushi asked innocently.
Arnav smiled "Really"
"Um Arnav can I ask you something?"
"Of course Khushi"
"Who is Monica? I know it's been many months since we last saw her but I don't understand why she called herself your girlfriend"
Arnav looked at Khushi and scratched the back of his head "I guess you could say she is a family friend Khushi.She has always for some reason been clingy to me and I hated it.I had given her the job of my PA but the minute she got it she asked me out and said until I don't say yes she wouldn't leave.I fired her immediately and got the security to take her away.Her family is still friends with mine but me and her just aren't"
Khushi nodded and smiled "Thanks for telling me"
Arnav took a step towards her and held her face in one of his hands "Khushi you don't need to be insecure at all and I don't want you to think I would ever betray you in any way"
Khushi smiled "You would make a perfect husband"
"I know I would.I also know you would make the perfect wife" he whispered.He bent down and kissed her cheek making her instantly blush.Suddenly Arnav's car horn blew "Do your romance on your wedding night!" yelled Anjali "We have places to go now for the wedding!"
"Di!" Arnav said in a warning tone.
Anjali giggled and so did Khushi,her cheeks brighter "Go Arnav" she said.
"I will see you tomorrow" he said.
Khushi nodded and waved them goodbye as the family left.
**************************************************
Dates were finalized and days were passing by.Sangeet,Haldi,Mehndi all passed by a blur.Finally it was the grand wedding day.
Khushi came down in her beautiful bridal dress and walked towards an awaiting Arnav.He smiled at her making any nervousness in her disappear.She smiled back.Arnav stood up and brought forward his hand.Khushi slipped her hand into his and felt him grip it while helping her sit down.
He managed to whisper in her ear "Finally the day I have been long waiting for" Khushi blushed and looked down.The priest began chanting and they didn't even realize when the ceremonies and rituals were over and they were finally pronounced as husband and wife.
