Short update for now but will try to make it longer next time.
Part 20
"Stop this wedding" Khushi and Arnav turned to see Mardav standing outside the mandir,with the police behind him "He kidnapped my daughter on her wedding day and now is trying to forcibly marry her" Mardav pointed at the couple.
Khushi looked at Arnav but he seemed pretty calm about it.He tilted his head "Really?You can even ask Khushi if this marriage is forced or not" He turned to Khushi and held her hand "Khushi..are you being forced to marry me or are you marrying me because you want to?"
Khushi looked into Arnav's dark brown eyes.They seemed to just lock her gaze.It was difficult to look away "I am marrying you because..I want to"
The police looked at Mardav confused.Mardav seethed in anger seeing Khushi take Arnav's side and not his "What's going on?" Mardav turned and saw it was Shyam.Shyam clenched his fists seeing Khushi so close to Arnav "Why is she so damn close to him?She should be getting married to me"
Mardav told Shyam whatever recently happened but he did not realize the police was keenly looking at Shyam.They mumbled a few things to each other and nodded.One of the inspectors walked to behind Shyam and tapped his shoulder "Shyam Manohar Jha"
Shyam froze in his place.He slowly turned and met the inspector's glare.He looked at Mardav "You brought the police!" Mardav nodded,confused.
The inspector took out his handcuffs and handcuffed Shyam "You are under arrest for drugs, and numerous numbers of assaults and an attempted murder"
The crowd gasped including Khushi but Arnav remained calm.The police grabbed Shyam and began dragging him towards their jeep.Shyam quietly followed but turned around before entering the jeep "Arnav Singh Raizada..my only rival in the business company...you may have won this time but trust me,I will be back..I see that you declare love for Khushi but I promise one day I'll return and make sure you,yourself throw her out of your own house..just wait and watch" Shyam sat in the jeep and the police drove away,with him glaring at the couple.Nobody knew that one day he would carry out his threat.
Arnav held Khushi's hand tightly and sighed.She was scared.He could tell by her pure white face and slightly cold hands.He put his arm around her waist and hugged her,wanting her to know he was with her "I would never do such a thing..and you know that Angel" Arnav pulled away from the hug and held her hands "He's just giving empty threats..he's gone now" Khushi nodded and hugged him.Arnav glanced around and saw Mardav was nowhere in sight.Shrugging to himself,he hugged back.The crowd seemed to have quickly forgot about what happened and awed at the couple.The wedding continued.Soon the wedding was over "Finally you are mine" he said smirking.Khushi blushed and looked away.The couple took the decorated car and went home,following the family.Once at home,they did all the rituals.The most special ceremony was finding the ring.Khushi and Arnav had immediately dove their hands into the water,in the bowl.Khushi kept moving her hand and fingers throughout thce water,trying to find the ring.The family was mostly cheering for her.She frowned,feeling something hold her hand.It began carressing her fingers and she gasped,realizing it was Arnav.She tried to pull her hand away but couldn't She mouthed 'Cheater' to him.This time it was him who frowned.He mouthed back 'I don't care'.Khushi nearly laughed out loud but seeing the family so absorbed,she kept it in.Her ring finger felt something metal-like.She felt it glide on her finger.Apparently,Anjali had smelt something fishy,so she walked up behind them and held up their hands.The family gasped and then laughed.The ring was being slid on to Khushi's finger with Arnav's help.
"I guess both of them win" declared Anjali.The family clapped and cheered.
********************************************************
Khushi was already sent to Arnav's room.Arnav was making his way there but stopped seeing Anjali in his way.He frowned "What now?"
"Money" she answered smiling widely.
"What nonsense..I am not giving money just to get into my room"
"Well it isn't only your room now..so I am taking money for Khushi"
"I am not giving money"
"Please...for Khushi...and me"
Arnav narrowed his eyes at her and sighed.Mumbling under his breath,he took out his wallet and took out a blank cheque.He gave it to her.She grinned and left.Arnav opened his bedroom and closed it.He looked around.Khushi was nowhere.He frowned 'Isn't a bride supposed to be on the bed,waiting for her husband?' he thought to himself.He looked around the room.The sliding doors were open.'She must be outside' he figured.Walking out the doors,he saw Khushi bending down to a flower and smelling it with delight.He smiled."Do you like my garden?"
Khushi got startled but seeing him,she smiled and nodded "It's very beautiful..I think you had mentioned your gardening hobby once,when we were at dinner" He nodded and walked to her.Carressing her face,he bent down and kissed her.
