Outstanding Zehra really...
Part 18 LI
The past revealing so much necessary
Pieces of a puzzle joining beautifully
Everyone knew, but maintained secrecy
To Ratna's wishes Khushi was too privy
Implications not understood in her naivety
To live with badi ma she was very happy
Marriage she thought was fun and gaiety
Befitting her age was the excitement certainly
Khushi so very thrilled at her destiny
Followed her beloved Ratna most closely
To be a Raizada she was training perfectly
Learning, watching every move attentively
Nothing more just to be her badi ma's beti
Until one day she felt something suddenly
Arnav's absence she did miss surprisingly
On his return happy, a bit excited was she
But pretended not to care and indifferent be.
Gifts for all but her he got specifically
Chocolates left in front of her halfheartedly
But stubborn was our Khushi equally
She continued to taunt him annoyingly
And claim his mother love completely
A girl with Arnav one day when she did see
Behaving like you do with the one you marry
Had explained to her Ratna while watching TV
Her chances by him being ruined considerably
Afraid his mother's wishes he will with disagree
And break her dreams unceremoniously
Yet feeling arose in her similar to jealousy
And so to Badi ma she complained slyly
Happiness soon was marred by tragedy
Everything ruined by death prematurely
Khushi scarred almost permanently
Tears and loneliness, always in misery
Unable to come to terms with reality
All she had were badi ma's memories
Life had lost it's charm completely
Even Arnav had moved away with family
Years later by chance she met Anjali
When Khushi was grieving quietly
Having lost her parents just recently
Was Arnav chosen for her by destiny
He still hated her like before unfortunately
To her circumstances he was not privy
But soon he was asking for her apology
And also brought for her comfort his nani
Friendship developing slow and steady
Opening up to each other during a journey
Nainital was a turning point luckily
A bond forming ever so beautifully
Their lives they shared voluntarily
But then Arnav became all flirty
Teasing her at every opportunity
His eyes looking at her mesmerisingly
Noticing every curve in her body
Feelings had just started blooming slowly
Accompanied by possessiveness & envy
They enjoyed stolen moments in privacy
And New year brought some intimacy
Closer they came almost naturally
He wanted her it he knew certainly
But everything came to a halt suddenly
For soon appeared the terror buaji
Along with Payal a saviour for Khushi
Bold and brave and very very gutsy
She took on her mother directly,
The past disclosed shocking everybody
Khushi was engaged to another previously
Arnav was filled with anger and fury
Breaking their trust almost immediatel
Accusing her once again hatefully
Plotting and planning and treachery
Akash by her was smitten slightly
And she with his flirted endearingly
Payal undiscovered the conspiracy
Saving Khushi from the Sinha lady
Matchmaking Aranv with his Khushi
Making way for their matrimony
We knew love they felt mutually
To know he wanted them to marry
She was from intrinsically happy
But hid it so very successfully
The family rejoiced at their unity
Khushi and Arnav together finally
But the bride as angry as could be
For the decision not taken jointly
Nor was she consulted by her hubby
They would sleep in one bed only
Khushi in her lingerie so sexy
Arnav tempted by her obviously
Controlling his urges desperately
A distance he maintained respectfully
Waking up entwined so comfortable
Painting a picture very cosy
Was a very bashful and shy Khushi
Embarrassed by his voice husky
Whispering his intentions for her naughty
After all she was his wife legally
He would convince her totally
And make her accept him readily
So his plans he put to motion quickly
To office she would him accompany
And at night hoping to get lucky
Now we wait eagerly to see
How he manages a suhaag raat
With his wife so lovely
Don't know about her but we are ready..
