Chapter 14
Khushi slowly opened her eyes and adjusted her eyes to the brightness of the room . She remembered sleeping in Arnav's room , in his arms , but when she turned and found the bed empty she pouted and sat up thinking was it all a dream , coz all that was too good to be real. But then looking at her surrounding , she got confirmed that no everything was real , she was in his room , on his bed , under his quilt , and there was a paper bag lying beside her . She moved a bit forward and grabbed the packet and opened it , to find a designer baby pink coloured anarkali inside it. She smiled seeing it as she really needed to change her dress , coz she was wearing it right from the previous day morning. She touched the soft fabric of the dress when her eyes fell on a note with it .
Wasn't it all too romantic , keeping a dress with a note to it , just the way it happens in movies , she smiled and picked up the note and read
This is my first creation , you are going to wear. Wear it and come out' I am waiting '.
She smiled and her twinkled with a certain joy seeing the note and the dress , it was designed by him. She took the dress with herself and went to the washroom to get a shower. After the much needed shower , she wore the dress and came out of the bathroom and stood in front the large mirror looking at herself . The dress was simple yet perfect , it had a perfect fitting also . She looked at her reflection and blushed a bit , don't know why she blushed but she blushed and she left her wet her loose and went out of the room.
She came to the hall , but he was nowhere to be seen and then she heard him say
"What should I say first 'Good Morning' or that 'You are looking Beautifulll' ?" The way he pronounced the word beautiful , made her blush even more and she turning towards him smiling a bit said
"Hmmm I guess you said Good Morning first'.."
And he coming a bit near to her smiling looking at her said
"Then a very Good Morning to you ' soon to be Mrs Arnav Raizada '. And you look phenomenal'. I must say for the first time my designs got what they deserve'."
Khushi smiled as well as blushed and said
"Thank you Mr. Raizada ' but now let me make some food for our breakfast ' as m really very hungry'."
As Khushi was about to go , Arnav hold her hand and bringing her back to him said
"Hmmm also hungry'.. but let me atleast breakfast in another way'." And he bent to kiss her , when he playfully pushed him and said
"No ' I will break my fast by having some food' so let me gooo'. I am really hungry''''.."
Arnav laughed and said
"Ok fine' Tum ja kar baitho mai khana lekar aata hoon'.."
"But tumne khana kyu ????"
"Khushi you were sleeping peacefully and I didn't wanted to disturb and wake you up , and moreover I got into a small accident nothing big'so relax and go get a seat and place the plates m bringing the food."
Khushi nodded and sat down while he brought the food and settled down too'. Arnav while serving said
"Don't worry I am not going to do it forever as ghar mein toh breakfast sab saath mein karte hai'."
Khushi smiled and nodded , when Arnav said
"Lets finish the breakfast fast , as after that we are going to Shantivaan'." And she instantly chocked'.
"Shantivaan ????"
"Ya' mere ghar'" he said all coolly while she said
"No no I mean what will I do there ??? And why will I go there ???" she asked a bit tensed and he replied
"Obviously to meet my family Khushi'. Shaadi se pehle you should meet them'. And don't tell tumne aapna mind change kar diya hai'." [You should meet them before our marriage ]
"Shut up' I will never change my mind but Arnav is it really necessary to meet them , I mean if they don't like me then'.."
And Arnav understanding what was making her tensed laughed out loudly while she asked
"What ???"
"Khushi tum yeh sochkar pareshaan ho rahi ho ki , if they don't like you what will you do'." And she nodded her head slowly and sadly. Arnav stopped laughing and slowly hold her hand and looking into her eyes said
"Khushi don't worry everyone will love you' and moreover you have been approved by the most important member , so no need to worry anymore'"
Khushi looked a bit confused while Arnav smiling a bit said
"Ananya , aur waise bhi meri family toh issi baat se bahut khush ho jayegi that finally I want to get married. " [And moreover my family will be happy with this news only that finally I want to get married.]
Khushi smiled hearing this and while eating asked
"So let tell me something about your family , so that it becomes easy for me'"
"Hmmm sure' lets start with the eldest member , My Nani.. she is a bit strict and sanskari , yet she is loving' then there goes my Mama and Mami along with their son Akash , whi is also close to me .. and then my Di , Anjali and Ananya'."
"And your jija ji ????" she asked
"Hmmm he doesn't live with us'"
"Oh.. so iska matlab , I will be going to a joint family , mujhe humesha se hi joint family mein rehne ka shauk tha.."
And Arnav smiled , meanwhile they finished their breakfast and headed down towards his car. The y got inside the car and drove towards Shantivaan.
It took about half an hour to reach the beautiful house , or rather bungalow . Khushi and her family were rich but he was what they say a millionaire or billionaire . Seeing the size of his bungalow , she just kept on staring.
Soon the car was parked outside the entrance of the house and he looked at her and nodded giving her a bit confidence. She slowly but steadily got down frm the car and Arnav came to her side and hold her hand and took her towards the main door . He stood there with a smile , while Khushi started getting all nervous. As soon as he rang the bell , Khushi almost started sweating , and soon the big door was opened and the man standing in front of them said
"Aare Arnav bhaiyaaa !!!!"
Arnav smiled at the man and asked
"Hari Prakash sab ghar par hai ???"
"Ji bhaiyaaa'" and that's when Khushi understood that he might be some loyal servant of theres , HP looked at Khushi and smiled at her , while she too smiled back and from nowhere Ananya came running
"Mam u aur Khushi Mami'." As soon as she said her eyes rounded up thinking , she had shouted a little too loud but Arnav smiled and picked her up in his arms and asked
"So my sweetheart missed me ???"
"A lot Arnav , but umne aapna cell kyu off rakha tha' pata hai Khushi mami kitna darr gayi thi ???" she said with full authority and Arnav said
"Sorry sweetheart aage se nahi hoga' promise' " he said both looking at her and then at Khushi'..
"That's better" said Ananya making her voice serious and saying it just like Arnav and both Arnav and Khushi laughed at her fake tone.
That's when they heard Anjali ask from inside
"Ananya kaun aaya hai ????"
Arnav let Ananya down and with Khushi started moving inside towards the hall and being infront Arnav was the first one who was seen , and seeing him Anjali and all became excited and Anjali getting up from the sofa said
"Aare Chote tum ??? Aaj toh Sunday bhi nahi hai.. phir tumhaare darshan hume kaise praplt hogaye ?"
And everybody started laughing , while Anjali came towards him and hugged him , Arnav hugging her back said
"Di aab roj aapko mere darshaan prapt honge'"
Everybody hearing this from him looked at him with a bit shocked expression , coz seeing Arnav joke was something very rare , and moreover no one was able to remember when was the last time he joked , but Nani soon got over this and askd
"Chote iska matlab ???" and that's when she saw Khushi coming inside towards them with a laughing Ananya , both were laughing and looking like long lost best friends.
Arnav seeing Nani pause looked at that direction and saw them and his eyes got filled with love and adoration . He was looking at her when Anjali slowly elbowing him whishphere
"Toh yeh reason hai , Chote kea ache mood ke peeche '."
"Di ???" he said and Anajli winked him and went towards Nani , while Arnav went towards Khushi , he smiled at hr and took his hands in hers and brought her with him towards Nani and said
"Nani yeh Khushi hai , Khushi Kumari Gupta , Shashi Gup' I mean Shashi uncle ki beti'.."
Nani smiled at her and said
"Khushi beta humne toh tumhe bachoan mein dekha tha , jab tum sirf 5 saal kit hi.. isliye hum tumhe pehchaan nai paye.." [I saw you when you were only 5 years old , so I couldn't recognize you]
Khushi smiled at the way Nani talked with her and she bent down and touched her feet's while Nani said
"Khush raho beta'."
"Ummm Nani'." Arnav started
"Who mai aur Khushi'."
He saw his whole family standing behind Nani and looking at him expectantly and smiling and he continued
"Who Nani mai aur Khushi we love eachother and want to marry'"
Nani hearing this became so happy that she asked
"Sach ??? Chote hum aaj bahut khush hai.. aakhir aap maan hi gaye'.."
And instantly she took out two kangans from her hand and talking Khushi's hand in hers made her wear them and said
"Abhi ke liye Khushi beta tum yehi pehno'. Hum jaldi tumhe chote ke maa ke kangan denge'."
Khushi smiled and nodded and Nani bringing her forehead kissed her on her forehead and this simple of gesture of Nani brought tears to her eyes.
Sonn Anjali came and hugged ger and said
"Finally hume Chote ki khushi se milne ka mauka mil hi gaya' welcome to our family'"
Then the whole family came hugged her , talked with her and Khush I felt overwhelmed , she for the first time felt like this . Her family was loving too , but these people and there love was something surely different.
Now they were sitting on the sofa when Arnav said
"Mai aaj se hi permanently yaha wapas aaraha hoon''."
Nani smiled hearing his decision and said
"Yeh kaam bhi lagta hai Khushi btiya ka hi hai''.." [Looks like this is also done by Khushi bitiya..]
Khushi seeing all this love from his family understood one thing that nobody here knew about her babuji killing Arnav's parent and probably that was the reason they were aaccepting her soo easily , and then turned to look at Arnav who continued
"And Nani we want to get married a s soon as possible so aap dekhlo kya kya karna hai.. I don't want a high profile marriage.. just a simple one'"
Nani nodded while Anjali said
"Lagta hai kisi ko aur intezaar nahi ho raha hai'"
Arnav looked at his Di and getting up said
"Mai oom mein jar aha hoon' aur aaplog meri Khushi ko jyada torture mat karna'" [I am going to my room , done you guys dare to torture her']
Khushi blushed while everybody laughed and Anjali said
"Haan haan' Chote tum chinta mat karo.. mere hote hue koi yeh thodi na kar sakta hai'"
"Di aap ho isiliye toh mujhe chinta hai'" [Di you are there and that's what the main reason I am worrying] and saying this he fled towards his room.
And soon everybody dispersed from th hall , Anjali took Khushi with he to her room , while Nani called the Pandit ji and started discussing about the marriage dates.
Anjali and Khushi were chatting , when Ananya came and literally announced
"Khushi Mamu , Mamu aapko bula rahe hai'.."
"Mujhe ???" Khushi asked
"Aur nahi toh kya Mami nani ko' aap jao' jaldi'''"
'Ok ' with that Khushi got up , smiled at Anjali and Ananya led her towards his room. Ananya opened the door of his room and pushed her inside and closed the door .
Khushi looked at the room and she was speechless , the room was a big one , nooo it was very big , with a combination of grey , white and black ' his colour.. She looked at all the furnitures , all modernized furnitures and all and then she saw him . He was standing at a corner and was looking at her. She looked at him and asked
"What ??? tumne mujhe aise kyu bulaya yaha'"
"Hmm to show you your future room , and tumhe yeh bhi oth decide karna hai.. what all you want to change hear'"
"Arna v everything is just perfect , why will I need to change anything.."
"Because I want you to convert my life into a coulourfull one , its still a bit dull '"
"Arnav ' no Khushi'.. seriously you need to change this room , just the way you are into a colourfull one.. and you will do it , wont you'"
"Yeah I will" she said and he came near her and took her left hand in his and slowly sunk down to the floor , knealt down and bringing her left hand forward asked
"Will you marry me , and stay with me forever''"
"Yes I will and forever''.." and with that she saw him taking out a beautiful diamond ring.
He took it out , it was a platinum ring with a heart shaped diamond in the middle and two letters i.e A and K written on either side of the diamond. She smiled seeing the ring , and he slowly took her hand and slid it in her ring finger and then kissed her on top of the ring ' making her heart strings oin with his. He got up and said
"I love you Khushi''."
"I love you too Arnav'." And with that Khushi saw him coming foreward and she anticipating a kiss closed her eyes , but she felt his lips on her forehead , and she opened he r eyes to look at him . He smiled at her and said..
"Now no one simply no one can part us' I promise , we will be like this forever and ever' till our last breathe''" and a single lone tear escaped her eyes and she nodded.
