CHAPTER 22. BEFORE THE PARTY

"...And then I will twist it this way and you will see how perfect the look is! I know you look prettier in open hair but a stylish hair do is what goes perfectly with these western gowns!", Anjali continued to chatter as she explained her plan for Khushi's hair and make up but Khushi was lost in her thoughts and did not even hear her. It was mid afternoon and Anjali had barged into Khushi's room with all her make up boxes and hair accessories. She wanted Khushi to look perfect and hence, had designed the perfect look for Khushi. She was so excited about her idea that she could not resist from chattering about it and telling Khushi in exact detail what she planned to do with her hair and her face.

"Oh ho! I keep on chattering here and you are not even listening! Khushi! You are okay na?", Anjali asked worriedly. She shook Khushi and Khushi came out of her reverie. "Huh? What?", she looked at Anjali blankly. Anjali huffed, "Uff! I have been talking to you for so long and you didn't even notice it! I am saying that I will put a stylish hair do to your hair and...", Anjali continued but Khushi tuned her out as she looked into the mirror in front of her. All she could think about was Arnav's voice mumbling, "I love her!" Khushi blushed as she remembered that moment. She was passing by the study when she heard the brothers' arguing. They were talking in rhymes and poems so Khushi could not understand everything. But she did understand one thing! They were talking about her! Once Aakash said her name, Khushi could not resist from stepping ahead and eavesdropping. And what she heard blew her mind away! Arnavji loved her! Hey Devi Maiyya!

Khushi squeaked loudly and rubbed her arm while looking at Anjali accusingly. While she was lost in daydreaming, Anjali was not amused about being ignored and had pinched Khushi, quite sharply, in her arm.

"Why did you pinch me?", Khushi whined.

"Because you are not listening to me!", Anjali huffed and before Khushi knew it, Anjali started talking about the look' again. This time Khushi heard the whole lecture properly and even cheered excitedly when Anjali asked what she thought of it. She was touched that Anjali was ready to go to such lengths to make her day perfect and getting up from her seat, Khushi hugged Anjali. Anjali hugged her back. Once they pulled away, Anjali ordered Khushi to take a seat so that Anjali could start with the make up and the hair. Khushi excitedly sat down in front of the mirror and let Anjali do her magic. But as Anjali started her work, Khushi's mind went back to the morning and Arnav's words. "I love her!" As Khushi sat there, her thoughts turned inward. I still cannot believe it! He loves me! And I love him. Suddenly life seems so perfect. Khushi felt excitement bubble inside her but then she frowned. But what now? I know he loves me, and of course, I love him. But what after this? Khushi didn't have an inkling of what next course of action she should take.

"Anjaliji! Pyaar ke baad kya hota hai?", Khushi spoke as she looked down at her hands.

"Kya?", Anjali asked. The sudden jump into topic of love baffled her.

"What happens after love?", Khushi asked as she looked at Anjali through the mirror.

Anjali, who was straightening Khushi's hair blinked in confusion for a second and then she shrugged, "What will happen after love? Marriage na?"

Khushi huffed, "No! You didn't understand what I meant! I mean after you realize you are in love, what happens next?"

Anjali chuckled, "Why do you want to know?"

Khushi bit her lip. She couldn't blurt out the truth, can she?

"Just curious!", Khushi shrugged and acted nonchalant.

Anjali narrowed her eyes, as if assessing whether Khushi was being truthful. After few seconds, she mumbled, "Once you realize your love, you should confess it. What else? You can't keep it buried in your heart forever right?"

Khushi nodded and Anjali forgot the discussion and focused on making Khushi look perfect for the evening. But Khushi did not forget the conversation. After love, its confession. But who will confess first? Should I do it? Khushi's eyes widened apprehensively. Her heart started beating fast and her breath turned erratic. Butterflies erupted in her stomach just at the thought of confessing her love to Arnav. She shook her head mentally. Nahi nahi! Let Arnavji do it. I cannot do it. Her heart beat lowered to normal and she sank into her chair in relief. Yes! Let Arnavji be the first one to confess! I don't think I can! With the way my heart is beating just at the thought of it, I feel I will faint before I confess. So yes, let Arnavji confess first. Now that the matter was settled, Khushi's mind turned back to Arnav's words from the morning. She wondered what would happen in the party. Will her look stun Arnav? Will he complement her? Khushi frowned. Nahi nahi! He is too arrogant to do that! I bet he would simply nod and say I look nice. Khushi giggled. Bas Khushi! Enough of this daydreaming! Focus on the night! I have to be my best then only Arnavji will win the bet! She mentally started to go through her lessons but her mind kept on wandering over to one thing, Arnav's words I love her'.

Arnav paced the living room non stop. Aakash felt a keen sense of dj vu at the scene. Why does this scene look familiar? Aakash was tempted to scratch his head. Then his eyes lit up. Oh yes! Bhai did the same thing last time we took Khushi to a party. Aakash rolled his eyes.

"I don't understand why you are so nervous!", Aakash spoke up. Arnav stopped pacing and looked at him with agitation. Aakash continued to speak, "Of course Khushi will perform her best! She has been trained by the best remember? Have some confidence!" But Arnav simply ignored him and continued to pace.

"Oh come on Bhai! Have some faith in Khushi! She will be the best Princess we would have ever seen! So stop worrying. Or is it something else that is irritating you?", Aakash frowned and then his eyes widened and he got up from his seat and grinned eagerly. He walked upto his brother and whispered to him, "You are nervous about your feelings, isn't it?"

"Feelings? What feelings?", Arnav growled while looking away from his brother. Aakash rolled his eyes. Here we go again! Didn't I push him from denial to acceptance just in the morning? He is back to denial?! Oh Man! My brother is a unique piece!

"Arre! Your feelings! For Khushi! Uff!", Aakash huffed. Arnav growled, "I have no..."

Arnav trailed off as his eyes fixed on something. Aakash, who was looking at Arnav, piped in, "Haan haan! Go ahead! Keep deny...", Aakash trailed off too as he narrowed his eyes at Arnav. Why Bhai is looking so stupefied? He turned to look at the direction in which Arnav was looking. What he saw blew his mind!

Khushi stood at the top of the stairs looking every inch an exotic princess. Her baby pink gown glittered under the light. The sweetheart neckline emphasized her curves and her hair held up in a stylish hairstyle only manage to highlight her face. Her cheekbones sharp, her brown eyes wide, her lips looking luscious, she looked ethereal. Aakash looked away from Khushi and turned towards Arnav and had the bad urge to start laughing at the gob smacked look on Arnav's face. No feeling, my foot! You are crazy for her, Bhai! And I am enjoying your love struck fool look. Khushi lifted her dress slightly so as to not trip on it and slowly got down the stairs. She seemed to be floating, Aakash mused. Her feet adorned silver colored open toed heels. Aakash was reminded of Cinderella's tale. A simpleton turned into princess for one night! It fits Khushi so perfectly. Wait a minute! If Khushi is Cinderella, who is Prince Charming? Aakash snuck a glance at Arnav. Arnav Bhai! Prince Charming! Aakash had to try very hard to stop himself from laughing.

Just then Khushi reached the room and came to stand before Arnav. Anjali came to stand beside her. She looked stunning in her red dress but it was obvious that Khushi stole the scene. Anjali had given Khushi her silver earrings and it only made her look prettier.

"So Chote! How does she look?", asked Anjali. Arnav simply stared at Khushi in stupor. Aakash elbowed him and Arnav came to his senses, "Huh? What?" Khushi blushed as she realized that Arnav did not speak till now because he was lost in her. Hey Devi Maiyya! Now you can be gruff and don't even praise me! I won't mind. Because I have read your face and I have read your eyes! You think I look beautiful and that is enough for me!

"I said how does she look?", Anjali asked again.

"Hmm... Ok! She looks nice!", saying this Arnav turned away.

Anjali's jaw dropped open, "Nice? Only nice? I worked so hard and you have only nice' to say?", Anjali continued to splutter in indignation. Khushi simply grinned. I so knew you were going to say that! Oh Arnavji! You are so cute!

"Oh ho sis! Forget Bhai! Let me tell you that you have done a fantastic job! Khushi looks out of the world!", Aakash praised both the ladies. Anjali looked proud and Khushi softly mumbled a thank you while her eyes remained on Arnav.

Aakash noticed the way Khushi looked at Arnav and how Arnav seemed to be avoiding her eyes. He chuckled. These two are so cute! Deciding to give them some private time, Aakash spoke up, "Ok! I think its time to leave! I will go and start the car! Di! Come with me! I have got a surprise for you outside!"

"Kya? What is it?", Anjali looked excited and Aakash grabbed her hand and dragged her away. Arnav and Khushi were left alone in the hall.

Khushi felt sudden nervousness fill her and she looked around everywhere except where Arnav stood. Arnav seemed to be doing the same thing. As Arnav looked all over the room, his eyes subconsciously landed on Khushi. He frowned.

"Arre! You are not wearing any jewelry on your neck?", Arnav blurted out.
Khushi looked startled at being addressed by Arnav and then replied, while her hands fingered her bare neck, "Haan! Woh... Anjaliji didn't have anything matching!"

Arnav nodded and then he frowned again as he thought of something.

"Wait here!", he ordered Khushi and walked away to Naaniji's room where Naaniji stayed whenever she visited them.

Khushi pouted, "Today also he ordered me! Arnavji! Just one day you stop ordering me and ask me to do something!"

Few minutes later, Arnav came back with some jewelry box in his hand. He opened it in front of Khushi and started removing something from it, "Here! Try this! Its my mom's. Mom had left some jewelries with Naaniji for Anjali, my future wife and Aakash's future wife before her death! This one was left for my future wife! I think it will go perfectly with your dress!"

Khushi's eyes widened. For his mom's bahu? Her heart thudded in her chest at the implications of her wearing the set made for Arnav's future wife. Is it what I think it is? She shook her head. No! You are reading too much into this, Khushi!

Arnav pulled out the diamond necklace and handed it over to Khushi. Khushi was about to take it in her hand but with her nervousness at this intimate moment between her and Arnav, her fingers fumbled.

"One minute! I will put it!", Arnav softly spoke, his eyes intense looking at her. Khushi gulped nervously and then nodded. He handed over the jewelry box to her. She slowly turned around and Arnav placed the necklace on her neck. She felt his fingers on her back as he hooked the necklace and felt a shiver go down her back.

Arnav hooked the necklace on the back of her neck. As he did that, he was unable to pull his hands away from her skin. Her milky marble like skin lured him and his hand slipped from the back of her neck to the sides of her neck.

Khushi's eyes widened and her breath quickened at Arnav's touch. She quivered and her hands gripped the folds of her dress tightly. Oh no! She was definitely not looking too much into this! Arnav was as attracted to her as she was to him. He loves me! He is attracted to me! Khushi felt elation thud in her heart. She felt immense happiness well inside her. Just then Arnav pulled away.

What is this that I am doing? Have I gone mad? Arnav thought as he pulled his hands away from Khushi. She turned around still feeling nervous. Her eyes were on the ground. It was only when Arnav took the box from her hand that she looked up. His eyes were focused on something inside the box and Khushi took this time to check her necklace out. She went to the mirror at a corner of the room and stood in front of her. Her eyes lit up. The necklace looked perfect on her. The diamonds sparkled and Khushi fingered them reverently. As she was staring at herself in the mirror, Arnav came and stood behind her. Khushi took in a sharp breath. For a second, the vision in front of her made her feel like a husband and wife were standing in front of the mirror getting ready for some party. Her heart quickened in her chest and she turned around to look away from the image. Her eyes lingered on Arnav's shirt. Arnav was dressed in his usual three piece suit with a coat worn over his shirt and vest. His silver tie was the only color in his all black attire.

As Khushi eyed the tie, she realized it was crooked. Without a second thought, she raised her hand and straightened it. As she did that, Arnav grabbed her hand and her eyes looked up. For a second both were lost in the moment. Then Arnav looked away and the spell broke. Khushi took in a deep breath and attempted to push her intense feelings away. Khushi! What are you doing? Ignore your feelings! This is not the right moment to get lost in your Arnavji! Remember! You have a party to go where you have to give your best!

Arnav sighed and was tempted to card his fingers through his hair in frustration. But he could not even do that as that would mess his gelled hair. Why? Why do I get so lost in her? Why? He growled mentally. A voice that sounded quite like Aakash piped in his mind; Because you love her you buffoon. Arnav pushed that voice away. Just then his eyes fell on the set. Oh yes! The reason I followed Khushi from the middle of the hall to the mirror at one corner.

Khushi had her eyes on her ground again and hence she was totally surprised when her hand was grabbed by Arnav. She looked up at Arnav a little confused and then her eyes widened as Arnav slid a diamond ring on to her hand. When Khushi looked at Arnav in confusion, Arnav explained, "Its another family heirloom. Eldest Bahu of Raizada Family wears it. I want you to have it for the night. It would go with the set perfectly!"

Arnav walked away but Khushi stood stunned. She looked at the ring and then at Arnav's retreating back.

"Its another family heirloom. Eldest Bahu of Raizada Family wears it. I want you to have it for the night.", Arnav voice echoed in her head. Family heirloom? Eldest bahu? Hey Devi Maiyya! Tears welled up in her eyes as she realized the implications of Arnav's actions. Hum samajh gaye Arnavji! I understood what you want to say perfectly. You couldn't say the words but your action showed it to me perfectly. You love me, haina? I love you too Arnav! And you may not be able to confess through words but I can! And I will! In the evening, once the party ends, Khushi Kumari Gupta will go to Arnav Singh Raizada and confess her feelings to him! Khushi grinned happily. Just then Arnav stopped at the door, turned around and shouted, "Khushi! Come on!"

Khushi nodded eagerly and followed him. Yes Arnav! I will follow you! I will follow you wherever you want! Because I love you! And you will also know this, when the night ends!

But what Khushi did not know was that when the night would end, Khushi would be far away from confessing.

How was that folks? Romantic? Cheesy? Or boring? Do let me know your thoughts!

Also next update will be the party! Expect a Arshi romantic dance!

Thank you, take care and have fun,

Kalpana
