Part 18
Khushi tried to fight off the hand that was holding a handkerchief tightly against her mouth but she failed miserably.Slowly she felt her eyes give away and close.She was half unconscious when she felt herself being picked up and carried away but the rest was unknown.
****************************************************
Khushi slowly opened her eyes.She was still in her wedding dress with all her jewelry.She flickered her eyes around the room she was in.It was a room totally unknown to her.The walls were in a light shade of blue.There was a large pool outside surrounded by plants and flowers of every kind.The door opened soundlessly and revealed Arnav.He smiled at her.He shut the door and came and sat with her.Khushi smiled back at him and sat up.She hugged him tightly not wanting to let go.He hugged her back.After a few minutes,they broke apart.Khushi then realized something and looked at him confused.
"Arnav,why did you kidnap me like that?"
"Khushi..I didn't kidnap you" Khushi looked at him more confused "I'll explain" said Arnav.
Flashback
Arnav had jumped through an open window of Khushi's house.He could tell he had entered a bedroom by the bed.It looked like Khushi's room as it had some cosmetics on a dressing table.The closet was open which showed Khushi's sarees,lehengas,etc.He looked around hoping to find Khushi.He saw a man's figure near the door.He was carrying someone.A woman.He could tell by her bright red lehenga and her arm,which was hanging in the air,was full of red bangles.Then he realized it was Khushi who was being carried away unconscious .Since she was the bride,she had to be dressed as one.Arnav was about to go up to that man and punch out his day lights but stopped and grinned.He looked at the bed.A bottle of chloroform and a handkerchief was lying there.'Why do it the hard way when you can do it the easy way' thought Arnav grinning as he picked up the two objects 'Less blood and work also done.Two in one'.Arnav quickly and soundlessly walked up to the man who was walking away with Khushi.Arnav poured all the chloroform in the bottle onto the handkerchief.He threw away the bottle and slammed the handkerchief on the man's mouth.The man kept his hold on Khushi and struggled to get out of Arnav's hold.Slowly the man fell unconscious letting go of Khushi.Arnav quickly held her making sure she didn't fall.The man was on the ground lying unconscious while Arnav picked up Khushi and left the house.
Flashback Ends
"So therefore I did not exactly kidnap you" finished Arnav.
The door opened and Anjali popped her head in.She smiled at Khushi "Can we come in?"
Arnav and Khushi nodded.Anjali came in followed by Samrat,who was carrying Pari,followed by Priya followed by Arjun and last but not least,Nani.The whole family was in the room.Nani and Priya sat next to Khushi and smiled at her. "Khushi,right..we are Chottey's family" introduced Priya,happily.
Khushi looked at Priya confused "Chottey?"
Anjali giggled and Priya smiled "Arnav..we call him Chottey since he is the youngest"
"Chottey" Khushi whispered and giggled.Arnav glared at her and his mother.
Priya ignored his glare and continued "I am Arnav's mom and he is Arnav's father" introduced Priya pointing at Arjun "This is nani who we dearly love and I assume you have met Anjali,Samrat and Pari"
Pari gazed at Khushi without blinking and squirmed herself out of Samrat's arms.Samrat placed her on the bed.Pari made her way to Khushi and sat on her lap.She pinched Khushi's cheek "You so cute"
Everybody laughed including Khushi herself.Pari looked around confused and looked back at Khushi "Why you so dressed"
Khushi stopped laughing and looked at Pari.Though her sentence wasn't clear,she understood what she meant.Everybody else also seemed to know and stopped laughing.Priya cleared her throat "Arnav told us about your dad and your forced marriage...he also told us about how much you guys love each other..we all were thinking of about getting you two married"
Khushi looked at Arnav and he smiled.Khushi smiled back and looked at Priya.She frowned a bit "But you don't know me that well"
Arjun smiled and sat next to Priya on the bed "Well we can get to know you much better after marriage" Everybody else nodded.
Khushi looked at the wonderful family which was going to be her in laws and smiled.She nodded.Priya and Anjali grinned "Great..we have already talked to the priest and he says the wedding can in three days or in a month..we thought three days would be too quick but Chottey was too eager" said Anjali leaning over to pinch Arnav's cheeks.Arnav glared at her and looked away "Anyways so we hope that's okay with you" Khushi shyly nodded "Perfect! Now come we'll get you set and you can sleep in my room" Everybody nodded.Arjun left because he got a phone call and Pari followed.
Arnav stood up and Samrat took a step towards Anjali "Where will I sleep?" asked Samrat.
"With Chottey" said Anjali in an obvious tone.
"Why can't she stay here" asked Arnav.The women stared at him.Samrat nodded.
"Yeah...Arnav and Khushi in a room is a good idea" agreed Samrat without thinking.
"No it isn't" disagreed Nani "They shouldn't be allowed to even meet before marriage..staying in one room is too far"
Anjali and Priya giggled while Arnav and Samrat sulked.Priya and Nani left with Khushi while Anjali stayed back.She glanced back at Arnav and looked at Samrat "I have packed all your things which you need for only three days..Hari Prakash will send it" with that said she left.
Samrat was standing there,mouth wide open.Arnav smirked seeing his state but immediately frowned remembering he and Khushi weren't supposed to meet each other.'Well that won't stop me' decided Arnav.Hari Prakash came with a small bag and gave it to Samrat,who immediately closed his mouth.He held the bag and glared at it.Arnav rolled his eyes
****************************************************
Priya,Anjali, and Nani lead Khushi to Anjali's room "You can wear one of my sarees" said Anjali opening her closet.Khushi hesitantly nodded.
"How about we go shopping" suggested Priya.Anjali and Nani nodded.
"But I don't have any money" said Khushi,worried what they would think but they just laughed.
"Don't worry..we have plenty of money which we would love to spend on you" said Nani smiling.
Khushi looked around hesitant but seeing the ladies smiling and nodding,she agreed.Khushi for the first time felt like she was part of a real family.She smiled.
****************************************************
About half an hour later
Samrat had got a call from one of his clients so he had to leave.Arnav took his chance and went to Anjali's room but nobody was there.Arnav scowled.He looked around.Nobody was there.On the dressing table was Khushi's jewelry and her dress.Arnav went out and saw the women leave from the main door.He decided to follow them.The women took the car and he took his own.He followed them to a mall.He rolled his eyes.'Of course' thought Arnav.He still followed them inside.Priya and Nani made Khushi sit on a chair while they began placing sarees in front of her.Khushi looked around and held one saree.Arnav took that time to actually examine Khushi.She was in a white saree.It shone on her making her look like a real angel.It showed her simplicity,her pureness,and most of all her beauty.
The ladies were too busy selecting sarees.Arnav took that opportunity.He sneaked behind Khushi and covered her mouth and took her to a changing stall.He closed the door and pressed Khushi against the wall.He caged her with his arms blocking her.He pressed his forehead against hers and whispered "You look so beautiful"
Khushi gasped as he pressed his lips against her cheek.She closed her eyes.Arnav wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him.Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes.Arnav slowly leaned and pressed his lips on hers.Khushi moaned as she felt him enter her mouth.Arnav deepened the kiss making Khushi grab his hair to bring him closer.Arnav held her head and caressed her hair,feeling their softness.Finally breaking the kiss,Khushi leaned against the wall and Arnav kept her caged between his arms.
"We aren't supposed to meet" whispered Khushi.
"I don't care" whispered back Arnav.
Khushi smiled.
