ArshiTS: Woh Peheli Bar Jab Hum Mile Epilogue Pg30 - Page 11

28^th September 2012

Khushi was sitting in front of the mirror and looking back at her reflection. It was their Wedding Day. She looked at her wedding dress. Arnav had specially designed it for her. Every element in the dress screamed out that it was Arnav's creation. The colour combination of the dress - pink, gold and green ... The moment she had seen the dress she had understood that he chosen those colours because the first time they had met more than a year ago she had worn a lehenga with the exact same colour combination.

Arnav have done everything to give her the dream wedding she always wished for. The man who did not believe in either love or marriage went down on his knees to propose her and went through all the wedding rituals without a hitch. The only time he made an argument was when Naniji and Buaji had told him that he could not meet her after haldi. She laughed at the thought of the antics he had done then to exclude that rasam. He had even used his ASR mask in front of them but when that also did not work he had tried to trick her into making them understand. But unfortunately for him she did not fall for his trick and sulked like a little kid and started ignoring her. She knew it was one of his other tricks so even she did not bother much about it. It was hard for her to stay away from him as well but the thought of living the rest of her life with him made her forget about the pain of them staying away from each other for a day. Later she had even tried several times to call him and make him understand that but he kept ignoring her calls and texts. She could not wait to see him ... only few more hours and then she would be with him forever. She came out of her thoughts when she heard the door to her room opening. She turned to look towards the door and saw Naniji, Anjali and Payal entering. They stood there mesmerised while she smiled widely looking at them and soon her eyes search for someone special -

Khushi: Arnavji kahan hai?

Naniji: Chotte nahi aaye! Hum aaye hai ... Humari pyari dulhan ki peheli jhaln dhekne khatir!

Anjali: Woh kya hai na Khushiji ... Chotte dulhe hai! Iss liye who style mein aayenge car mein bad baaje ke saath!

Naniji: Aur phir aapki amma ko bahar jaake unki aarti utharni hogi aur phir jai mala ki rasam hogi! Uske bath aapke dulhe raja aapke pass aayenge!

Khushi smiled hearing that. Payal walked towards her and cupped her cheeks -

Payal: You look so pretty Khushi! Kisi ki bhi nazar na lage!

Khushi: Thanks Jiji!

Soon their conversation was interrupted by NK.

NK: Khushiji Khushiji!

He went near her and dragged her to the side and whispered something in her ears. She was surprised by NK's words -

Khushi: Nanheji aap juthe kyun chooraynge?

Anjali: NK bhai hume kaha than na ki aap juthe nahi choora sakthe hai! You are from the groom's side, you are supposed to protect them not steal them!

NK: But there no fun in that! Aise tho mein koi rasam enjoy nahi kar pa raha hoon. No ghodi chado rasam ... no juthe churao rasam! Then how will I enjoy?

Anjali: NK bhai...

NK: No Di! I want to enjoy and if I can't enjoy because of I am from the groom's side then like Massi says Bye Bye to groom's side and Hello Hi to bride's side! After all I am Khushiji's best friend so I can be from her side too! Can't wait for Nannav to come and steal his shoes!

Everyone laughed after listening to what NK said.

Naniji: Ab aap chaliye humare saath ... Khushi bitiya ko thaiyaar hone dijiye! Chaliye...

She grabbed NK's hand and dragged him along with her. After they both left Anjali went near Khushi and cupped her cheeks -

Anjali: Hum janthe hai yeh aakri pal intezaar ka bohat bura hoth hai na? ... Koi bath nahi ab bas thoda sa waqt bacha hai uske bath tho aap aur chotte hamesha ke liye saath ho jayenge. Phir yeh intezar aur judai hamesha ke liye khatam ho jayegi! Hai na?

Khushi smiled at Anjali and nodded her head. Then they both hugged each other. Payal who was witnessing all this had tears of happiness in her eyes for her sister. She had never seen her sister so happy before and now not only did she even Khushi was getting a loving and caring husband and family. She saw them breaking from their hug and looking at her. She walked towards them and she cupped Khushi's cheek -

Payal: Hum tumhare liye bohat khush hai! Tum bohat khush naseeb ho Khushi ki tumhe Arnavji jaise pati mile! Hum bas yeh dua karthe hai ki tumhari hhushi hamesa aisi he banaye rahe!

After listening to that Khushi hugged Payal and thanked her for being always there for her. They broke apart from the hug and wiped each other's tears.

Payal: Ab jaldi se thiyaar ho jao ... Arnavji aathe he honge!

Anjali: Payalji aap Khushiji ki madhat kariye hum abhi aate hai!

Saying that she left and Payal started helping Khushi to wear the rest of her jewelleries that were kept on the dressing table.

***

Arnav was waiting for Khushi to come down impatiently. He had not talked to her for one whole day because of his stupid ego. He had not liked it when she did not help him to make Buaji and Naniji exclude the rasam of not meeting each other after haldi. Instead she easily agreed to them which irritated him and hence he kept ignoring her calls and texts. But now he could no longer stay away from her he just had to see her and hear her voice. Suddenly the room became quite, the only noise that could be heard was the chan chan of a payal. And he immediately recognised it as his Khushi's payal. He looked up at the stairs and his breath caught in his throat at the site in front of him. Not only had his eyes, all the other pair of eyes in the hall were fixed at that sight. All stood mesmerised at Khushi's beauty but her eyes were only looking at the man she loved to the core ... her Laad Governor. They both were lost in each other that they even forgot they were surrounded by people watching them. Payal who was standing next to Khushi nudged her while Aakash standing next to Arnav nudged him so that the love birds could come back to reality. They both averted their eyes immediately. Babuji went towards Khushi and took her hand in his and brought her down the stairs. Now both Arnav and Khushi stood facing each other. They both were again lost in each other but soon they were interrupted by NK -

NK: Alright love birds you can fly to your own world after the wedding.

Anajali: Haan chotte ... You have all your life to look at Khushiji! Now it's time for the jai mala!

Listening to that not only did Khushi blush but the almighty ASR also blushed. Arnav took the garland from Aakash and moved towards Khushi. She bent her head down so that he could put the garland on her and when he did that everyone cheered for them. Then Khushi took the garland from Payal and moved towards Arnav but before she even raised her hands to put it on him Aakash lifted him up. Khushi pouted seeing that but NK came to her rescue -

NK: Don't worry Khushiji ... Main hoon na!

Saying that he lifted Khushi up and now she could easily put the garland on Arnav. Everyone again cheered for them while they both were placed back on the ground. The Panditji came towards them -

Panditji: Ab aap dono madap mein aake bait jaiye!

Arnav took Khushi's hand in his and they both followed the Panditji along with others to the mandap. Khushi looked at the mandap and was mesmerised; it was exactly like how she wanted.

She turned her head towards Arnav, who was already watching her and she thanked him through her eyes. They settled down in the mandap and the pandit began narrating the mantras.

Soon Babuji came to the mandap and did the Kanyaddhan and once he placed Khushi's hand in Arnav's he blessed both of them and moved out. The pandit again started narrating mantras and did Agni pooja. After that was done Anjali came to the mandap to do the gathbandhan and once she was done she left after kissing both Arnav's and Khushi's forehead. The pandit asked both Arnav and Khushi to stand for the pheras. Arnav started walking around the Agni holding Khushi's hand while the pandit narrated the mantras and explained the significance of each of the pheras for the bride and groom.

Frist Phera

The groom promises to share the responsibilities of the house, food and finance together. He also seeks blessings from the God to have beautiful children and long lives. While the bride vows of committing to her husband whom she should treat as her lord and she vows to shoulder the responsibility of looking after the house regarding food and money including the welfare of the house. She will discharge her share of responsibilities for the welfare of house and children.

Second Phera

The groom promises to remain committed to his wife forever. He regards his wife as his beloved and promises to only love her forever. And also vows to provide strength and courage to his wife always. While the bride, vows to fill the heart of her husband with courage and strength and to rejoice in his happiness. She also promises to support him to dispose of his duties and be with him in happiness and sorrows.

Third Phera

The groom asks God to grant them with prosperity, wealth and the ability to be able to educate their children. While the bride promises her love to her groom with single-minded devotion. She vows, 'I will treat all other men as my brothers.'

Fourth Phera

The groom thanks his bride for bringing love, happiness, auspiciousness and sacredness in his life. While the bride promises to adhere to righteousness and support her groom in attaining all kinds of success and to support him in every religious act and sacrifice. She vows, 'O my lord, in all acts of righteousness, in material prosperity, in every form of enjoyment, and in those divine acts such as fire sacrifice, worship and charity, I promise you that I shall participate and I will always be with you.'

Now the Pandit asks Khushi to come forward and lead Arnav through the rest of the pheras. She starts leading Arnav and the pandit again starts narrating the mantras along with the significance of the pheras.

Fifth Phera

The bride promises to offer support to him in all walks of like and also to love him forever. She vows, 'Your love will make me very happy'. And the couple prays to goddess Lakshmi to grant them prosperity and blessings for the rest of their lives.

Sixth Phera

The bride seeks the blessings of God in every step of their married life. She promises, 'May the blessings of God always be with you. I will be with you in any stage of life.' While the groom, promises to keep his bride happy forever. He also promises that he will fill the heart of her wife with great joy and peace, time and time again.

Seventh Phera

The bride assures that whatever vows and pledges she has taken, are all taken with pure heart. She promises that she shall never deceive her groom and nor shall she let him down. She vows in the end, 'I shall love you forever and ever.' While the groom tells his wife that as you have walked seven steps with me, you have made our love, friendship and relationship firm and inseparable. He also says that now 'Now you have become mine forever and I offer myself to you.

The panditji declares that the pheras are over and tells them sit back to finish the final rasam before declaring them as husband and wife. As directed by the panditji Arnav ties the mangalsutra around Khushi's neck and fills her maag with sindoor.

Everyone cheered and showered rose petals on the newly married couple. The panditji blesses the couple saying 'May you live a happily ever after'. Both Arnav and Khushi got up and looked at each other.

Khushi: Hum Aapse...

Arnav: Pata hai ... Mein bhi tumse bohat pyaar katha hoon!

Arnav kissed Khushi's forehead and they both hugged each other.

They only broke apart when they heard the panditji asking them to take blessings from their elders. To take the blessings they both walked hand in hand towards naniji first since she was the eldest. Later they went to Babuji, Amma, Buaji, Mamaji and Mamiji to take their blessings. Then they hugged Anjali, Payal, Aakash and NK. The whole family was happy since all the wedding rituals went well without any hitches and thanked Devi Maiya for that.

***

They had reached Shantivan after the bidai and Naniji was doing their aarti at the entrance. After that Khushi kicked the kalash at the entrance and then dipped her feet into the plate consisting of vermillion mixed with water. She then entered the house along with Arnav leaving behind her footprints on the floor. But before they could walk more into the house Aakash interrupted -

Aakash: Ek second! Bhai aap humare ghar ke parampara bhool gaye kya?

Anjali: Rehene do Aakash! Hume nahi lagtha Khushiji jhel payegi!

Aakash: Lekin aise kaise rehene de!

Khushi: Kaisi parampara?

NK: Khushiji kaisi bhi parampara ho ... aap ko puri tharaha se nikyani padegi na!

Aakash: NK bhai 'Nibhani' padegi!

NK (holding his ears): Oh ya nibhani!

Aakash: But he is right ... Nibhani tho padegi!

Payal: Arre kyun pareshan kar rahe aap humari behen ko?

NK: But...

Khushi: Arnavji kaisi parampara?

Instead of saying anything in reply Arnav just moved towards Khushi and lifted her up.

Khushi: Arnavji aap yeh kya kar rahe hai?

Arnav: Apne biwi ko utha raha hoon!

Arnav carried her into the living room while she just kept looking at him and once they reached there Arnav placed Khushi down. Everyone else also followed them inside. Nani went towards Khushi with a box -

Naniji: Bitiya yeh aap ke liye!

Khushi: Naniji yeh kya hai?

Naniji: Chotte ki amma ne apni bahu ke liye alag se rakhe the yeh kangan.

Khushi took the box from naniji and opened it to find two beautiful bangles in it. Anjali came towards Khushi -

Anjali: Agar Mumma aaj yahan hothi tho woh khud aapko yeh pehenathi! Lekin...

Khushi: Koi bath nahi Anjaliji aap hai na ... Aap hume pehena dijiye!

Anjali smiled listening to that and wiped the tears away which had formed in her eyes.

Anjali: Theek hai ... Par ek sharth pe! Aapko aaj se hume Di bulana hoga!

Khushi: Theek hai Anj ... Di!

Anjali's smile widened and she kissed Khushi's forehead. Then she took the bangles from the box and put them on Khushi's wrists.

Anjali: They look beautiful on your wrists ... It looks like it's made just for you!

NK: Ab chaliye Di! Let's go do the next rasam!

Arnav: Next Rasam? I am not going to do any other rasam! Khushi lets go to our room! Come...

Anjali: Chotte aap ko yeh rasam karna he hogo!

Arnav: But Di I am tired!

NK: Tired or bekar for your suhagraat?

Aakash: NK bhai bekar nahi bekarar?

NK: Oh ya bekarar! So tell us Nannav are you bekarar for your suhagraat!

Anjali: NK bhai stop annoying my poor chotte! Look how tired he looks! Koi bath nahi chotte aap jake so jaiye! Khushiji can stay in my room tonight! Woh kya hai na if you don't complete this rasam then we won't allow you both to stay in one room!

Arnav: What the!

NK: Nannav mere bhai tum apna what the apne pass he rako! Aur decide karo ... Do you want to sleep or complete the rasam? Coz if Khushiji does not come to the room tonight then how will you celebrate your suhagraat tonight?

Arnav was shocked hearing all this while Khushi was having a hard time stopping herself from blushing and also controlling her laughter.

Arnav: Ok fine! Let's get this rasam over and done with!

NK: Yaaay ... Chalo! This is going to be so much fun.

NK got hold of Arnav's hand and dragged him to the sofas. Everyone else also followed them. Anjali made Arnav and Khushi sit together and then she kept a bowl of milk on the table in front of them.

Arnav: What is this?

Anjali: You both have to search for a ring in this!

Arnav: This is the rasam?

NK: Ya and it is said that the one who finds the ring will have an upper hand in this marriage for the whole life. Now come on ... Both of you put your hands in the bowl.

Arnav: Unbelievable!

Anjali: Chotte it does not matter if you believe in it or not! We do and so does Khushiji! Hai na Khushiji?

Khushi nodded her head and Arnav grinned looking at her.

Arnav: Fine then! Get ready to loose Mrs Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada!

Khushi: We will see who will loose Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada!

Saying that; they both dipped their hands in the bowl and started searching for the ring. Occasionally their hands used to collide and whenever that happened they used to glance at each other but then again with the determination of winning the game they started searching for the ring. Soon both of them felt the ring and they both looked at each other immediately. Gradually they brought the ring out of the bowl together and a gasp left from everyone's mouth. But soon everyone except NK giggled.

NK: Di ab kaun geetha?

Anjali: Oh ho NK bhai geetha nahi jeetha!

NK: Oh ya sorry! But seriously who won? They both found the ring ... now how will we know who has the upper hand in their marriage?

Anjali: They both will! This shows that there will be a sense of balance in understanding and decision making between them.

Nani: Anjali bitiya bilkul theek keh rahi hai!

Arnav: Alright then if all the rasams are done then can we go to our room?

Anjali: Haan you can go but before that there is one more rasam ...

Arnav: Now what Di?

Anjali: Arre let me complete the sentence ... I am you sister so you have to give me nek! Jab thak tum hume humara nek nahi doge thab thak hum thume jane nahi denge!

Arnav smiled hearing that and held Anjali's hand.

Arnav: Jo aap chaho Di!

Anjali: Chotte jaise Khushiji aap ke liye important hai waise he tum dono humare liye important ho! Aur hum chahate hai ki tum dono hamesh saath rahe! Aur hume wada karo ki tum Khushiji ko hamesh kush rakhoge!

Arnav: I promise Di!

Anjali smiled hearing that.

NK: Nannav Di ko yeh promise vomise chal jayega. Magar hume tho paise chaiye paise ... You know hard cash!

Aakash: Right!

Arnav: Kyun tum dono mere beheinein ho?

Aakash: Bhai iss bar rasam mein thoda sa twist hai!

Payal: Haan ur humara tho haq dugna bantha hai ... Hum aapke bhabhi bhi hai aur Khushi ki behen bhi!

Arnav nodded his head and took cash out of his wallet. He was giving the money to Payal but before that NK snatched it from him!

NK: Don't worry Nannav we will share it!

Arnav: Alright so if you all are done can we go?

Anjali: Haan! Aaj ke liye hume tumhe bohat pareshan kar liya ab tum jaa sakthe ho!

Arnav took hold of Khushi's hand and they both went upstairs to their room.

***

They entered the room and Arnav closed the door while Khushi stood mesmerised with decorations of the room. Arnav also joined her soon and hugged her from behind.

Khushi: The room looks so beautiful!

Arnav: Not as beautiful as you do!

Khushi smiled hearing Arnav's compliment.

Arnav: Waise finally ho he gayi!

Khushi: Kya?

Arnav: Humari Shaadi! Now no one can make me stay away from you!

After listening to that Khushi turned around and hugged him tightly and even he hugged her back bringing her more closely to him. After a while he broke the hug -

Arnav: Tum batroom mai jaake change karlo! Mein yahan change kar loonga.

Khushi: Hmmm!

Khushi went to the bathroom to change while he changed in the room. When Khushi came out changed in a simple salwar kameez, she did not find Arnav in the room. She then saw the door to the poolside open and started walking towards it. There she saw Arnav sitting in the recliner and gazing at the stars. She went and sat next to him and kept her head on his shoulders while hugging his arm.

Khushi: Kya soch rahe ho aap?

Arnav: Khushi tumhe pata hai ... Jab tak tumse mila nahi tha, tab aise lagtha tha ki sab kuch adhoora sa hai, jaise koi kami hai! Khushi mujse wada karo ki muhje kabhi chod ke nahi jaoge ... Mein tumhare bina nahi jee paunga!

Khushi: Hum waada karthe hai ki hum aapke saath hamesha rahenge! Aur waise bhi ab humari shaadi ho gayi hai ... Hum aapko chodke kahan jaa sakthe hai!

Hearing that Arnav hugged her tightly.

Arnav: I love you!

Khushi: I love you too!

They both broke from the hug and Arnav inched closer to Khushi' face and took her lips in his. They both kissed each other with equal passion and letting each other how much they and care for each other. They tried to put the emotions they had for each other in that one kiss. They only broke apart when they were in need of air. Soon Arnav got up from the recliner and lifted Khushi in his harms and went into the room to continue the night with love, romance and passion.
