Chapter 1

Her eyes continued to water every time she craned her neck back and saw the vulnerable faces of her mom and dad. A new set of nears made their way down to her make up clad cheeks which were now flushed as she sobbed into the back of her hand, the jewellery slightly scrubbing her nose making it turn red.

"Khushi Go!" She saw her mother whisper softly pushing her a little to where her husband stood a little unsure, along with his family.

Husband? Yes! Arnav Singh Raizada was his name. He had a large family consisting of 7 more people apart from him. His Nani, Mamiji, Mamaji, Sister, Brother, Brother in law and Sister in law where as Khushi just had her parents with no sibling of her own.

She had met these people at her dad's common friends party where Nani and her mom instantly hit off and so did his Mamaji and her dad. 5 weeks had passed and she had nearly forgotten the event when she saw all the familiar faces in her living room one day as she parked her scooty in the garage and barged inside with a letter in her hand.

That day, she had got 2 news which completely surprised her, one- she had got accepted in her dream university of Delhi to pursue her MBA that too with a scholarship, and the other being her proposal.

These Raizadas sitting in her living room had apparently brought a proposal for her marriage with their eldest son Arnav.

Khushi didnt even remember who he was until her mom reminded her of a guy instantly glued to his phone and kept nagging everyone at the party to leave at the earliest.

What a shame! Before she could ponder over the proposal after she had agreed that she would think upon it, her parents had taken it to be a Yes and shook hands with the Raizadas not noticing her gaping at the kitchen door.

This was how she was landed here at the Mandap just after 2 months to that day.

Anjali, her husband's elder sister came forward to softly hold her hand and pull her forward as she looked down not being able to control her tears. Looking back one last time, she wiped off her tears before walking to the car with her new family, determined not to let anymore tears make their way into her eyes which were already swollen.

After Anjali had made her sit down tucking in her lehenga in the car properly, she motioned her brother to get inside too while she and her husband, Shyam sat in the front and before she could notice, she could see her parents faces zooming out of the car's window.

Her breathing was irregular and everybody in the car sensed that. As Anjali tried to make a light conversation between the people in the car, she felt some warm fingers getting entangled in hers. Surprised, she looked up her heavy lashes to see her Arnav smiling lightly at her, if the quirking the end of his lips counted as smiling. She couldnt decide what to make out of the situation, not like her new family gave her horrors but she knew it would be hard to cater to everyone there when she just lived with 2 people in her home all her life. But she was ready to welcome the change though hesitantly.

Her musings were broken off with a shrill of the phone. The warm fingers clutching her hand a while ago parted as Arnav extracted the phone out of his pocket.

"Yeah?"

"What?"

"I cant.. is there no alternate?"

"Okay, I'll be there!"

His last sentence of course had everyone in the car all ears by the time he finished his call.

"Di, I'll have to go."

Chapter 2

He had to go! This was something she had not expected. Just as she was trying to getting accustomed to everything new around her, he had to announce his departure and make things awkward for her.

No it was not his support she needed or that him being around made her feel safe, none was the reason, heck she just met him once. She wanted him beside her tonight, knowing what looks did the brides receive from the aunties and relatives when a husband escapes his suhaagraat.

The voices around her got louder bringing her out of her thought process.

"Do you really have to do this tonight Arnav?" Anjali Di asked seriously throwing daggers at him and he just shrugged. "As if I have a choice Di! I switched duties for the wedding but the pilot I switched duty today with just lost his cousin brother, he cannot take my shift for the night." He said earnestly

Pilot! She had shrieked when once her mother had casually told her that her to-be-husband flew planes around the globe. She wondered why did a Pilot suddenly agreed to marry a simple just-graduated girl with no practical experience. But somethings just happen, without a reason, she thought.

"Im sorry Khushi, I will have to leave. I will be back after 2 days. Have to fly to Canada." The last words he said were more as if he despised them, not wanting to go. "Its Okay Arnav." she said passing a small smile pulling her neck near the window getting tad bit disappointed. Not that she was expecting a very romantic night ahead but she was peace, peace of mind and peace in her life after having so many hectic days to thinking and planning her wedding.

"We are home." Shyam announced as he honked the guard to open the gates of the mansion letting the car in. Suddenly, she got very nervous. The same aunties from their side, neighbors and relatives both had literally commented on the tones of her cries as she had wept hugging her mom and dad. She dreaded the time when she will have to face them again and meet their pitiful gazes of how she was unfortunate enough not to have her husband on their first night. Guess that time was coming very soon, she sighed.

That soon was the time when she found herself standing on the threshold of Shantivan just about to hit the pot and entering in. Arnav, however stood close to her and she could feel his tension and hurry with the fingers he kept clicking together in order to get done with it soon. Having done with the Arti, they entered and now there was a line of games set up for them before they retired to their rooms.

Anjali and Shyam seemed tensed however the hoard of people in the house was more than excited to start with the ceremonies.

"Can we please end this ruckus?" she shivered as she heard her husband shout a little louder for everyone to hear well and good. A warm hand clasped hers as he continued. "Nani please, I dont want anymore games, whatever they are. I dont think anything else is important than the actual marriage rituals which we just happened to complete an hour ago which can and will keep our marriage intact for the rest of the life!" He said with a final tone putting an and to all the discussion but a brave lady couldnt keep herself quiet.

"But Arnav bitwa, the ring ceremony determines who will have an upper hand in this marriage."

"Aunty, I'm sure me and Khushi have the lifetime to figure it out who has to rule amongst us and when." He turned to his Nani. "Can we retire for the night please?"

"Sure bitwa, Anjali go get the room ready and HP, get Khushi bitiya's luggage in the room." She said walking away hushing all the people to their rooms.

Hand in hand, they walked upstairs to their room and were about to enter when Anjali stopped him.

"Did you plan on staying back?" Oh, Khushi had almost forgotten that he was supposed to leave for the night as he had a flight in 3 hours. Even she was curious to know why was he still in the house.

"I will go just right now Di, let me change. I also wanted to leave Khushi till the bedroom so that no one says anything to her. I will leave from the backdoor and Di!" He looked up seriously. "With the crap everyone talks everytime, I dont want them to know anything, get them going till the morning please. I will meet Nani before I go." Anjali nodded and so did Khushi, mentally. As much as she hated the idea of him going on their first night, she was beginning to like it now. Arnav had saved her from the mess which would have been created if he would have left her in the middle of the ceremonies and also, she would be alone to herself tonight, she smiled in relief. No awkwardness would be there as she had thought. By the time he would come back, she had enough spare time to think how to actually talk to her husband and get settled in a room with a man.
