Khushi was sitting in the middle of the bed and was surrounded by the girls who were teasing her but being a new bride she was listening them silently. Just then anjali walked inside the room saying "let's go girls. Chotey is coming..!" wishing her good luck, the girls walked out from the room when khushi looked around the room, she heard his footsteps so quickly composed herself. Arnav walked in and looked at khushi who was sitting there with her head down.
Arnav walked in and went to the wardrobe, he took his clothes and went to washroom, khushi looked up wondering "How's this man..? Didn't give a damn to his wife" just then she heard him walking down, she again composed herself.
Arnav walked out and saw khushi still sitting on the same position, he went to the mirror and adjust his hair, he saw khushi stealing glances of him through the mirror, he turned at her saying "khushi, you go and get freshen up"
As arnav said, she looked at him amazed. Actually she didn't expect this from him. "hmm" she said nodding. Khushi gets down from the bed and took her towel along with her night dress from her luggage and went to the washroom.
She cleaned her face and was going to take her towel when her eyes fall on her night dress. She grabbed it murmuring "oh no..! What I brought..!" she looked at her knee length lingerie thinking "how will I go out wearing this..? It's so embarrassing" she cursed herself for not checking her cloth before walking in. "stop worrying khushi.. He looks gentleman, I don't think he will make any step further, if he had any intention, he would have done it already.. and why are you worrying..? You are least interested in it, so if he would have any such bad intention, I will kick him out from this room" she sighed. "go and directly slip into the blanket" she took a deep breath and changed into the dress.
Khushi walked out from the washroom and scanned the room immediately, she saw arnav was sitting on the sofa and busy in his laptop. She was going to get inside the bed quickly when arnav looked up at her. Khushi freeze there, arnav looked at her top to bottom while she was trying to hide her bare thighs, she looked away embarrassed while arnav also looked away but her beauty attracted him, he couldn't resist himself but again looked at her. "stop looking at her arnav" his inner mind chided him.
Arnav looked away thinking "I should say everything to her" he looked up at her and saw her moving "khushi..?" he called her while getting up from her sit.
"why he called me..!" her heart started pounding so hard against her chest, she nervously turned at him and saw him coming towards him. Her knees were getting weak, she searched for some weapon to protect herself when she saw the knife in the fruit bowl, she saw arnav was much close to her, she quickly grabbed the knife and point at him shouting "stop.. stop right there..!"
Seeing her pointing knife at him, he stopped on his way "khushi, put the knife down. It may hurt you"
"I don't care. If you try to get close to me, I.. I will kill you" she threatened.
"what..? Trying to get close to you..?" he asked in disbelief. "grow up khushi. I haven't such intention" he said taking a step ahead.
"no.. no.. stop there. What do you thought..? By marrying me, you can claim me to yours..? no.. Mr Arnav Singh Raizada. I married to you just because of my family's wish" she said as tears came out from her eyes. "I don't wanted to marry you. I wanted to finish my study first and get settle on my feet but my bauji find you and was keen for his alliance to took place"
"damn..!" arnav hissed running his fingers into his hair. "you mean you weren't ready for this wedding..?" khushi nodded innocently. "then why didn't you inform it to your family..? Or you could have talk with me"
"I tried to.. I even told your nani but then she said you were busy and can't meet me" she said sobbing when arnav remembered once his nani told him about their meeting but he refused.
"look khushi.." he was going to take his step forward but khushi point her knife at him saying "don't try to touch me. You all men are same, you always wanted our bodies but I am not that girl who will give herself without her own wish"
"SHUT UP.." arnav yelled at her and snatched the knife from her hand while pulling her another hand towards him, she hit on his body and looked at arnav's eyes which were burning in anger by now. "just shut up okay..?" he said pointing his finger at her. "come" he dragged her and made her sit on the bed. "sit here silently first and listen to me"
Khushi looked up at him with sobs, arnav gave her the glass of water saying "I am not that type of girl which you are thinking" khushi looked at him. "khushi, just like the marriage was forced on you the same thing happened with me"
"you mean, you also didn't wanted to get married with me..?" she asked shocked.
"no.. actually I never wished to marry anyone"
"he never wished to marry..!" her inner mind repeated the words and she looked at him chuckling "why..? Are you gay..?"
Arnav glared at her when she apologized "I am sorry.. But why do you never wished so..?"
"it's none of your business. But get married with you for my nani, she always wanted to see me happy and she thought you would be perfect one"
"me..?" khushi looked on.
"see.. now we can't deny the fact that we are married right..?" khushi nodded looking down. "but khushi it's not easy for me accept you"
"even not for me. Basically I thought when I will get job, I will find my perfect match by myself but now it's not going to happen now. And arranged marriage concept I don't like it. It's just a compromise in a relationship, there's no love, just responsibility remains"
"oh.. so you are against arrange marriage..?" arnav asked. "anyways, but now we can't back off from this wedding, I can't see my family getting insulted for me, especially my nani"
"even I can't"
Arnav nodded "then let's go with the new relation but we will act normal in front of my family but behind this four wall.." before arnav could say khushi said "we will not share any relation. We won't interfere in each other's life also okay..?" arnav nodded.
"I can't give you the right of a wife" arnav said looking away.
"same here" she paused for a while and said "but what if any of us fall in love with other one then..?"
"it's not going to happen for me" arnav thought while khushi waited for his reply, she snapped her fingers while raising her eye brow. "then we have to deal with it by ourselves" khushi nodded.
"I hope I cleared everything" arnav asked when she nodded and he was going to leave but stopped and turned at her saying ".. And stop making khayali pulav in your mind from next time" he said shaking the knife in front of her eyes, khushi looked down nodding. "good.. now go and sleep"
Khushi settled on the bed while arnav went to the sofa, she looked at him with a smile as he isn't that bad which she thought. "arnav ji..?" she called him while he looked at her. "I am sorry"
Arnav smiled murmuring "silly girl"
Next morning, arnav returned from his jog and was passing by the hall when anjali stopped him asking "chotey..? Where's khushi..?"
Arnav looked around the house and looked at the clock, it's 9am, he looked up at their room and saw the door is still closed. "she must be sleeping. If you are going in your room then wake her up" anjali said.
"di, you go and check her, I am going to work out for some time" saying this arnav left.
Anjali went to their room and knocked "khushi.. Khushi.." she called her many times when finally the door gets open, khushi walked out yawning, seeing her in short night dress, anjali's eyes popped out, she checked the area whether anyone noticing her or not and quickly pulled inside the room and locked the room.
"good morning di" khushi yawned.
"khushi, what are you wearing..?" anjali asked looking at her.
"what happened di..?" khushi asked wiping her eyes.
"khushi, don't go out from your room wearing this. Nani doesn't like this" as anjali said khushi realized she was in her short lingerie.
"didn't arnav tell you..?" khushi nodded looking down. "please, don't do that again. You can wear it in your room but please don't go out like this"
"sorry di" khushi apologize.
"it's okay. Now go and get ready. It's already very late" anjali said showing her the clock, khushi looked down guilty. "this won't repeat"
"it's okay khushi.. come down fast" saying this anjali was going to leave when arnav walked in the room and collide with anjali. "sorry di"
"chotey, you know how conservative nani is.. please look after khushi, she is new here" anjali said when arnav saw khushi still wearing the night dress, he looked down embarrassed and nodded. "come down soon"
Arnav walked in when khushi glared at him saying "you should have told me before"
"khushi, last night we have decided we will not interfere in each other's life" arnav reminded.
"but when we are going to act normal in front of your family, then I should know what they likes or dislikes"
"but for this, I don't need to let you know everything. When you will start knowing them by yourself, you will start changing yourself then" saying this arnav went to washroom while khushi looked on.
