Chapter 1

It was the day of their marriage. It looked like the whole world was bustling with life, trying to make it the most beautiful day for two people who are currently getting ready.

Did it make a difference to them? Definitely not.

They still dint speak to each other. Sure they did see each other during one of the pre marriage ceremonies held. But then it was like a mutual truce. He never spoke a word, neither did she, hell they dint even look into each others eyes.

"Mom! How many more of those necklaces would you put before you realize I am not comfortable in them?" She whined

"Beta! Today will be the last day you will be our daughter, let me doll you up! Now keep quite" Her mother hushed her off and her sister, Payal was laughing at her expense at which she just glared

It struck her- after today, she will no longer be Khushi Kumari Gupta. She will be Khushi Singh Raizada , someone's wife

"DI! You are being ridiculous! 1^st sherwani now all these things. Stop it ok! Go and help Akash get ready" He complained to his sister

"Chote! Akash still has time, it's your day. You keep quite! I know how mom wanted to see you today, so you shut up and instead help me make you look less of a business man and more of a groom! Khushi looks soo pretty. I want you to look atleast half as good" She shut him up.

It struck him- he was still Arnav Singh Raizada but after today he was also going to be a husband to someone.

The marriage was a grand affair. It had to be. The Raizadas where one to the most influential families and Arnav was one of the most eligible bachelors.

The bride's family was nothing like them. They were a small middle class family and Khushi was just a girl next door.

When Khushi was brought into the mandap. Everyone's attention was focused on to her and that was when Arnav had the time to watch her. Her hands tightly held what ever she was bring in the hands. She was nervous- any normal person would be. Her face hid inside the Ghungat securely. She was very petite. She was walking carefully not to trip over, but failed miserably when her feet stuck in the dress nearly 3 times in the short walk. She was clumsy. He noted.

'Devi Mayya! Please let me walk properly till the mandap' She kept chanting.

The marriage ended with the usual fun- Payal hiding her jijaji's shoes, Akash trying to find them and all the masti.

While sending his daughter off ' Shashi Gupta spoke to Arnav

"Beta, I know you both still are not comfortable with each other, I just have one request- she is still a small child at heart. She was never away from us, take care of her"

"I will sir" he said in a humble tone

Arnav and Khushi traveled back home in the SUV decorated just for them. Still they never spoke a work and after reaching home- Nani, Anjali, his mama mami, Akash ' all of them thoroughly teased them and all the games where played, to which both of them calmly participated.

Khushi just kept smiling and talked when necessary. She was now sitting on the king size bed in a room fully decorated, which she knew would now be her new room, their room

Arnav walked back to his room just to find Anjali and Lavanya and some other girls giggling.

"Chote! Not so easy! You need to pay to enter your room today!" She said laughing

He just shrugged his shoulders and gave them the money and entered his room, their room. He saw her sitting on bed, with ghungat on her head, hand clasped to her knees. She was still nervous- he noted. He sighed. He was tired and he knew so was she

He walked over to the bed. "You can relax, I don't bite" he said at which he saw her loosing her hands.

"Let's make it less complicated. I know you obviously accepted for your parents and I did it for my family, so why don't we cut the drama get changed and sleep?" He asked her, rather instructed her.

That was when he saw her. She lifted her head and removed her gunghat. The candle light shone on her face ' it was beauty! Beauty that was beyond words, her eyes curious and questioning. His breath was caught in the throat

When Khushi lifted her head to answer him- her breath hitched. He was handsome, no doubt- he was looking casually at her, with nonchalant look that gave him an edge.

That was the 1^st time they saw each other- each other's eyes. Their soul

"Even I am tired of it all- You can change, and then I will change and let's sleep" She said quietly, as if it was no big deal

Khushi changed into a simple baby pink kurthi and she saw Arnav sitting on the couch

"Ummm .. What are you doing ?" she asked

"Ill take the couch, you take the bed, we can change taking turns later" He said

"Arnavji! The bed is big enough for both of us- you stay on your side and I on mine- the pillows will be the wall- its not like one of us will molest the other right?" She said lightening the mood.

Arnav was just staring at her. If she looked beautiful then, now she look angelic- her hair open, her voice melodic- she was like a music playing. He decided he couldn't stand her.

He just mumbled a "what ever" and slept.

Two strangers, tied by an eternal bond sleeping under one roof, sharing same bed. What does tomorrow hold for them?

Should I continue? Please do comment or suggest!
