OS In a minute, I fell in love

"How do I look" Khushi Sharma, asked her friend Neha.

"Looking beautiful as like always" Neha said looking at her stunning friend draped in a beautiful Red sari. "Between wedding is our friend Payal's not yours" added Neha.

"Same thing I am saying, I just asked How I am looking in this dress, whats the big deal" said Khushi waiting for Payal to come out changing into her wedding attire.

"You look like the wedding is yours" Neha whistled at her in a dramatic way and the both friends broke into a round of laughter.

"Oh! wedding and me...please. I don't believe in love and all stuffs, then how wedding" said Khushi. She had locked her heart and doesn't want to unlock it. She just want to stay away from the word and feeling "Love" as one of her school mate committed suicide as her school mate had undergone a break up. Khushi was scared of it and had forget the side of love in her life.

"Is Payal ready Khushi beta" Garima Gupta, Payal's mother asked her as soon as she enter inside the room. "By the way, you both are looking beautiful. In main Khushi beta, you are gorgeous" she added for which they both smiled. Payal comes out in the heavily designed Wedding Lengha and Khushi and Neha started helping Payal to get ready.

"Chote, This is not done. You just now reached here for your brother's wedding and now you are denying to wear this sherwani" Anjali Khanna, tried her best to convince her stubborn brother to wear the sherwani.

He was in London when the wedding of Akash Raizada and Payal Gupta was decided and as per the pandit ji's words the wedding is fixed in a week. As He was in London, he couldn't attend any pre-wedding rituals and came before few minutes for the wedding. He is considered to be a emotionless man as he had locked all these in some corner in his heart and doesn't want to open it up again. After he had lost his parents in car accident, he changed into Arnav Singh Raizada from Arnav Malik and doesn't want to be weak and knowing that emotions can make one weak, he just ban it from him/in his life.

"Di, you know na, I am not comfortable in these type dresses" said Arnav Singh Raizada, in short ASR who is also known as King of Fashion Industry.

"But you have to, Its our cousin brother's wedding" Anjali this time made a very cute and pleasing puppy face which Arnav couldn't resist.

"Only for you and Akash" said He, getting the cloth from her hand and disappeared inside his Bathroom.

"Khushi ji, can you do me a favor please" Anjali said. They were standing near the Mandap, Akash is siting in front of the Scared Fire waiting for his bride.

"sure, say me" Khushi.

"I guess I forget to bring the jewel box. Can you bring it for me please...what na, here there is some guests to be attend and I can't trust anyone" Anjali explained her situation. Khushi agreed and asked where she can take and come the jewel box from for which Anjali replied in a small table of poolside. Anjali was showing the jewels to Arnav and had kept it there itself.

Khushi, with the help of Hari Prakash, reached the poolside. She sees the box there and takes it. Now, she has to deliver this to Anjali. But, the scene in front of her had made her forget about everything for a moment...

In a hurry, she failed to notice the beauty around her and when her eyes fell on it, it just amazed her like nothing...The pool which is short in depth and length but beautiful as the moon light falls on it, making th water glow into silver...there is many plants around and in few there are beautiful flowers..and when she looks up...the star with full moon adds up the beauty of the sky and the fairy lights...lights which are decorated there as it is a wedding house. The whole place seems to her like a fairy land...the place her mother used to describe when she says the story of Prince Charming to Khushi...her own Prince Charming who will come in a white horse and takes her away with him. Memorized by the place, she just stood there...friend's wedding was long forgotten in her senses.

Arnav, who was inside his room, just now done with the mails he has to send, decided to go downstairs as the wedding would have started now. When he was closing the curtain of his room which connects with the poolside, his eyes struck at the woman in red, standing there facing her back towards him. Curious by the stranger, he move towards her slowly...

"Excuse me..." The words slipped from his lips and Khushi, hearing some one's voice comes out of her thoughts and turns back to see whose the voice belongs to.

Just as soon as she turn, her eyes met with a warm chocolate pair orbs and her heart skipped a beat and something starts to unlock inside her. There, at Arnav's side as his eyes met his, something happen inside him which now he can fell the ban side of him.. his heart starts to beat faster and his eyes as if longing for this moment, couldn't move away. Both stood there, staring at each other for about a minute and hearing Anjali's voice, the spell broke and both looks away from each other. Anjali made an entry and without saying anything Khushi goes from there.

The both hearts is highly disturbs with each others eyes. In a minute something had happen inside them and it just didn't let them at peace. Khushi, for the first time try to remember her friend Payal's words about love and compared with whatever something new going on in her. Her mind is somehow slipping away from her friend's wedding and setting somewhere.

The same is with Arnav, He just couldn't concentrate on the wedding going on. His mind is totally occupied by the woman who he just couldn't forget for a second...one look at her for the first time and seems the emotions which are stored into him had get set out and he is now controlling his emotions. Her presence is making him feel weak now...He is not the same before he had met her...the single minute time gap had set something changed inside him...

The scene there folds as something there is to unfold more, the wedding had completed and Payal Gupta had changed into Payal Akash Singh Raizada. The couples new life is going to start and there in the same place, Two hearts are highly disturbed and the result will be in front of you all soon...

"Stop, Mom..please. I am not comfortable in these type of clothes" 25 years Arush Raizada utter these words to his beloved mom who is hell bent on forcing him to wear a sherwani.

"just like his dad" said Anjali enter inside Arush room.

"Bua please...you know me na" Arush replied.

"I too know you son, but see this is important today. Your sister Arshi's wedding dear" said Khushi Raizada, mother of Arush Singh Raizada and Arshi Raizada and wife of Arnav Singh Raizada.

Yes, Khushi and Arnav had get married. They had understand the feeling which suddenly aroused inside them and within months there is a great change in Arnav which everyone in RM wonder what happen to him and as Payal's post-wedding ritual gave chance of Khushi coming to RM and so their meetings were also held. The next month itself Arnav proposed Khushi and it was yes from her side. The next year, they got married. They were blessed with a baby girl first to whom they named as "Arshi" and a boy second who they named as "Arush". Life was filled with love and happiness for both Arnav and Khushi. Their love which filled them in a single minute was so pure that their love only is getting strong with each passing second. Today is the wedding of Arnav and Khushi's first child Arshi and here Khushi is arguing with her son and insisting him to wear Sherwani for the ceremony.

"Common, agree my son. If not she will not close her mouth" came ASR's voice from back and everyone's head turn towards him.

"Oh, If his dad said means he will agree, huh?? He will not obey your words" Khushi said eying at Arush, reading his expressions.

"What do you think about my son" Arnav said, watching his son reaction by side.

"Same like you were Chote, emotionless" Anjali bit her smile and joined in Arnav and Khushi's effort.

"Bua, its nothing like it and I obey my dad's word and follows him. I will be back now" Arush said and gets the sherwani from his mom and disappeared inside the bathroom. Arshi shared a smile and Anjali laughed out loud and goes out to check the guests.

"Excuse me" Arush said as he saw a woman in blue standing in the poolside which is connected with his room. The woman turns and they both froze in their position and keeps on looking at each other...

Arnav and Khushi had came to check on Arush as the wedding is about to start. They come inside silently and as soon as their eyes fell on the scene, they just had paused in their life for a second. The same scene which happened years ago was there in front of them.

Both looks at each other and they both broke into a soundless grin. It is just like that...the same scene which took place in the wedding of Akash and Payal where they both was staring at each other compared to the one going on. They decide silently to move from this place.

"Same full moon day" said Khushi, looking at the sky when coming out of the room, seeing the sky through the window. Arnav puts his hand around his wife securely. They both are sure that their son is going to be married soon...With the guide Love leading them in their life happily, they want their son to undergo the same. They had seen the girl he was staring, she is looking beautiful and seems a traditional yet modern one too. Many times both Arnav and Khushi smiles at their life...the two individual who never believed in love, had come together. Their Life is bonded by the most scared word in the whole universe, "Love" Whenever Arnav gets into dramatic mood, he used to say to Khushi...

"In A Minute, I fell in love..."
