While everyone was busy enjoying the performances which continued at the Mehendi, Arnav and Khushi were busy pulling each others' legs,
" Even you are sitting here, Arnav. So whose name will you be writing in your Mehendi?"
"You will know it soon, just wait and watch. " Arnav smirked at her confidently while Khushi royally ignored him as she enjoyed the ongoing performance. Khushi badly wanted to clap for that amazing performance on "Udi" but Mehendi was stopping her, which made her pout in irritation while the thought struck her that Arnav suddenly stopped irritating her and she turned to her side to see no one there which made her wonder. Suddenly Music started,
Bichhoo mere naina badi zehereeli ankh maare
Kamsin kamariya saali ik thumke se lakh maare
Note hazaaron ke, khulle chhutta karaane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi chillam jalaane aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi..
The spot lights first focused on her eyes to highlight a mesmerizing wink. Next it moved on to the slender waist of her to make people gasp on the thumka. Listening to the gasp, Khushi turned to see Arnav dancing in his female outfit. The memories of the past flooded in her eyes as she reminisced the part of their incognito exile.
--FLASHBACK--
" What are you doing, Arya? I am not a queen anymore to be entertained by a dance performance. I am a mere Sairandhri, a makeup artist of Rani Sudeshna." Yagyaseni painfully whispered while Arjun in his Brihannala form due a curse from the celestial dancer Urvashi which was serving as boon for them, pulled her into his arms to kiss her lotus-like eyes filled with painful tears.
"You are still a queen, Pranpriye. You are the queen of my heart, my soul, my life and my love. And you will be the queen forever." Arjun clasped her petite waist with his once-muscular arms to bring her close to him, so close that even air wouldn't pass between them.
He couldn't erase pain from her eyes but could surely erase her loneliness with his passionate love that night.
--FLASHBACK ENDS--
Her lips parted to form a O-shape. The dance continued and the stage was on fire due to heat of the beauty.
Jungle mein aaj mangal karungi
Bhookhe sheron se khelungi main
Makkhan jaisi hatheli pe angaare le lungi main
Haaye! gehre paani ki machhli hoon Raja
Ghaat Ghaat dariya mein ghoomi hoon main
Teri nazron ki lehron se haar ke doobi hoon main
Already magic was spreading on everyone and the rest of brothers and NK, the mastermind too joined it to steal the hearts, dressed as women to make even women envious.
Hoye.. jaanleva jalwa hai
Dekhne mein halwa hai
Pyaar se paros doongi toot le zaraa
Yeh toh trailer hai poori filam dikhane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi-chilam jalaane aayi
The grace in the muscular body which was hot to behold was making Khushi skip heartbeats as memories of the past were getting overwhelming to bear and she started laughing joining others in it to hide her pain.
aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pavva chadha ke aayi
ayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pauua chadha ke aayi..
Banjar basti mein aayi hai masti
Aisa namkeen chehra tera
Meri neeyat pe chadhke chhoote na hai rang gehra tera
Joban ye mera crajy hai raja
Saare pardo ko kaatungi main
Shaamein meri akeli hain aaja sang tere baatungi main
Haaye! baaton mein ishaara hai
Jisme khel saara hai
Tod ke tijoriyon ko loot le zara
Choom ke zakhmo pe thoda malham lagaane aayi
Husn ki teeli se beedi chillam jalaane aayi
People were blushing now due to the bold lyrics of the song and their extremely sensual dance. Even the bold Khushi, had hard time, controlling her blush not due to the lyrics but the memories which this form of her love brought her.
aayi chikni... aayi.
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi
Aayi chikni chameli chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi..
All the Raizada brothers started whistling to mark the end of their extreme performance which infact increased the temperature of the place. Devika was already blushing and Amrita was pulling NK's ear for such a naughty idea to already naughty brothers. Anuj spoke to Arnav,
" I bet if you weren't my bhai and were a girl, wouldn't have spared you after performance." Arnav playfully hit him on the shoulder and proceeded towards Khushi who was trying to control herself and her thoughts and said,
" Not just you, Madam Ji. We can also steal hearts. Powerhouse of talent we are."
" Haan Ji. But not as a boy but as a girl" Khushi spoke something very random which came to her mind to escape from the situation as she really didn't want to face Arnav, after that sensual flashback.
Arnav ran behind her, keen on getting an answer from her and caught up with her after a long run, while she finally got a grip on her feelings. Arnav slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her against himself, as her back crashed against his rock-hard chest.
" So what were you saying Khushi? I can steal hearts only when I am disguised as a girl and not as a boy in my real self?"
" So what Mr. Raizada oops sorry, Ms.Raizada And what is this? Leave me." commanded Khushi while struggling in his grip while his grip remained firm.
" I will not, till you accept that I steal hearts and I stole everyone's heart here." Arnav's husky whisper was tantalizing her senses, pulling her back into the vortex of past which she didn't want.
" I can free, myself okay? I don't need to accept false facts!" She started trying hard to free herself as her hands had Mehendi and Arjun's grip was quite tight. After trying for long and witnessing people pointing at them with their eyes, she said,
" I accept it."
Arnav left her waist and was about to speak when Khushi distanced her self from him before running away and said,
" Now I won't."
--------------------------
Some time later,
All the ladies were having their dinner while either their sons, brothers or husbands fed them but Khushi couldn't find anyone to feed her though she was hungry and Amrita was not letting her leave. She saw Her Nandu passing by and called,
" NK!" He turned and came to her taking long strides,
" Kya Hua, Khushi? Everything alright!"
" Actually NK, I am hungry after a full day without any food and Mehendi is making me feel bored and more hungry so..."
" So eat naa, who is stopping you?" He asked with a naughty plan in his mind.
"NK, are you crazy or something? How am I supposed to eat with Mehendi on my hands? I was going to ask you if you can feed me, if you are fine with it!" She said freely and openly as they both were best of friends.
" I am fine with it, Sakhi but Lavanya is not as I am feeding her right now and I will come to you once I am done as she must be waiting naa. Sorry, Khushi" He said with a cute smile which could melt anyone.
" It's okay, NK. I will find someone else, or wait."
And at the right time, Mr Arnav Singh Raizada was walking down the corridor, while NK called out to him, making him walk to NK and Khushi while his eyes were lingering on Khushi.
" NK, you needed anything?" Arnav asked with a smile as his eyes were just for Khushi.
" No Arnav, not me! Actually my Sakhi is feeling hungry and as you know she can't eat with Mehendi on her hand. Can you please make her eat while I feed my priya behen Lavanya?" NK knew that there was no way Arnav was going to let go of this chance to be with his beloved but still thought of asking the question.
" Its okay, Nandu! I am leaving right now anyways and why to cause difficulty to Arnav unnecessarily!" Khushi was uncomfortable at the thought of Arnav feeding her as something in her always told her, something in between them was just not right.
" No ways!! You cannot miss special food of Indian marriages being a foodie and Arnav has no difficulty in this, kyon Nannav?"
" Why will I have any difficulty? I mean she is my guest and I just cannot let her leave without having food. So Ms.Khushi, you ARE eating, and that's final." He made her sit down on a nearby stool and got her favorite food from the buffet while NK left the lovebirds alone.
Arnav took a seat in front of her and started feeding her, while Khushi looked at him with unknown pain in her eyes as this renewed several memories from their past life where Arjun used to feed her during pregnancy and when she was reluctant about it eating the food.
After completing feeding her in silence though their hearts only echoed their past and mind still rejoicing the memories which their soul couldn't forget, Arnav found a bit of sabzi near the corner of her lips. He lifted his hand and gently wiped it off which making Khushi think of his flirtatious nature towards her making her get up from her seat, turn around to realize that Arnav had caught her dupatta.
She turned around to see Arnav standing in front of her with a glass of water. She understood what he meant and let him make her drink water as she could obviously couldn't do it herself. Immediately after completing the water she thanked him under her heaving breaths and left from there leaving Arnav lost in her.
-----
Yeah Yeah, I told I might discontinue some of my fictions due to low response rate but seeing so much of love, I had to bend down AGAIN. You say you all have lost your heart for my fanfictions so why shouldn't I lose this condition for this. The story undeniably is running slow. Why? Because I want it that way. I don't want and don't even like Arnav and Khushi or any pair I like running into each others' arms just after they realize their love and they have so much pain here.
I believe you all applauded me for coming up with something like this in the beginning and I request the same support from you all throughout. I believe this story of mine has a very high potential and this is my pride. I hope you will not break my heart once again, and again I will continue to love you through those broken pieces.
