Chapter 3: Always & Forever
Khushi's car screeched to a halt infront of the Raizada Mansion. She ran up the steps into the house. She came face to face with Anjali.
'Khushi. What are you doing here? Tomorrow is your wedding. You know that, you are not supposed to be here, right? If your parents or Naniji finds out you are gone' Anjali whispered.
'Di, Arnav is not here. I came to pick up something important. Few papers' Khushi fibbed. 'I will just be a minute. I am getting late'
'Okay. Let me know before you leave' Anjali said.
Khushi ran up the stairs right into Arnav's room. Kneeling by the bedside table she rummaged through her bag till her hand caught on the key. Slipping in to the lock, Khushi opened the cupboard. Her eyes caught on a box with her name scrawled on it.
Khushi opened the box to see the same set she had chosen. No surprises there. L for
Laad Gavarnar. Khushi muttered silently.
Mrs Khushi Singh Raizada,
Your hunt has finished and you are officially crowned as the most beautiful bride ever.
-Laad Gavarnar
'Khushi, what are you doing here?' a familiar voice hit her ears. She twirled around to see Arnav standing at the door, surprised.
'Surprise' Arnav added dryly. 'I see you've got your Wedding gift'
'What did you think? I wasn't going to be able to reach it?' Khushi challenged.
'I never doubted your ability of accomplishment. But, how did you get the key?'
'Seems like your assistant or should I say my best friend made a bit of a mistake?' Khushi said walking towards Arnav.
'How did the key go with the dress?' Arnav wondered.'But, it's bad that you got the gift too early. There were a few more tasks' Arnav smirked.
'So, you mean that other than making me sing in-front of a hundred people, you had other plans. I am so mad at you, Arnav' Khushi said frowning, starting to walk away.
'I am sorry, Khushi. This was supposed to make you happy, okay?' Arnav said exasperated.
'Well, it didn't. And now, I am not going to forgive you either' Khushi said walking towards the door.
Hai teri chahat, teri zaroorat.
I want you, need you,
Arnav's voice came softly. It wasn't melodious like that of Khushi's but for her it was her favorite song. She always played the song in his car and he had managed to learn the words somehow.
Khushi stopped surprised but not bothering to turn around.
Sooni hai tujh bin, duniya meri,
without you, my world is deserted..
Naa reh sakoonga, main door inn se,
I won't be able to live away from these,
hai meri jannat, galiyaan teri
your streets are my heaven..
Ummeed yeh seene mein leke, main hoon jee raha,
With this hope in my chest, I am living,
kabhi tu mile, mujh se kahe ke,
(that) you meet me some time, and tell me,
main hoon bas tera..
that I am only yours..
Arnav walked towards Khushi not exactly singing the song but more like, reading out the lyrics. Khushi turned around smiling, tears glistening in her eyes.
'Arnav. That was so cheesy. And, desperate and so NOT you. AND, I cannot believe you sang the song' Khushi said. 'Never sing again. Your voice is not good at all. But, it was perfect' she added laughing.
'Anything for your smile' Arnav said as Khushi threw her arms around him.
'Thankyou Arnav. For loving me. Only me' Khushi murmured.
'Forever and always' Arnav replied.
EEP! Done 😆 Somebody told me that, she wanted a cheesy ending. LOL! And, this is cheesy for me. But though, the day Arnav kind of sang Aaj Mausam Hai Suhana, it was so hot 😳
