Part 4
Next morning found Arnav in bed with a heavy head and sleep deprived eyes. All he had been able to do was toss and turn, trying vainly to forget about what he had done last night. His heart had oscillated between remorse and anger entire night, remorse for treating her like he did, in the most callous way and anger for her ability to make a chink in his armor! He got up only to lie back again, not wanting to leave his bed. But today was the big day, Akaash's wedding day, the guy was behaving freaking crazy since last night. "What was he so excited about?" Arnav wondered as he got off his bed and braced himself to play the role of the responsible Arnav Singh Raizada!
At the Gupta house too someone was going through the same dawdling phase. Khushi was caught between elation for her Jiji and melancholy for him, who had the power to sweep her off her feet one moment and then bring rudely back to earth the next, yet her heart went out to him. She could feel his pain in her heart as if didn't have enough of her own. "I should get up before Buaji finds out and announces to the whole world that I am asleep!" she jumped out of the bed swiftly and started to clear the bed only to sit back again. She had found the shirt that he had torn on New Year's Eve and it was enough to send her back to last night. Her heart went into an aerobics session, jumping and fluttering at will. "Is it then love that I feel?" she queried herself, "But how can I when I know he cannot give me what I want, he is no believer in marriage, heck! He doesn't believe in love to start with," she frowned at the thought. She picked up her toothbrush from the table and went to take her morning shower. She mulled over her situation as she brushed. She remembered what he had said at finding out about her engagement, "Mujhay farak parta hai, dammit, kyunk'" "Only if he had completed what he was saying!" thought Khushi sorrowfully. A sudden idea crossed her mind taking away all her dullness and laziness. Her eyes began to shine at the complete appropriateness of it all. "Why not?" she raised eyebrows at her reflection, "if he can flirt with me, why can't I? Let me see what the laard governor is made up of eh?" she quizzed at her reflection in the mirror. She ran out to her devi maiyyan, " Kya idea diy ahai ji! Today will be the most memorable Wedding Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada will attend!" khushi laughed out loud. "Haye Haye sanka devi, some people actually feel sad at their sister's bidaai!" exclaimed Buaji who had heard her laughing. "Why Buaji? Why should I be sad? My Jiji is getting married to the man she loves, this calls for celebration!" said Khushi as she took Buaji's hands and twirled her around the room. "you just wait raizada!" She thought gleefully.
