It was around 5am Khushi woke up to the sound of chirping birds. She swept her hand on her lap to check on him but she found her lap empty. She opened her eyes sleepily and looked around to find that she is in their bedroom. She looked to her side and he wasnt there. She instantly got off the bed, ran down to the living room and enquired with Kaka. She got worried when he said he didnt see Arnav. She quickly took the landline and called his number. It kept ringing. She ran upstairs to her room to find her cell phone to see if he left any message.
She stormed into her room and was surprised to see him coming out of the bathroom. He stood by the door and asked her what happened.
She ran over to him and hugged him tightly, Where were you? I searched the whole house. She wrapped her arms around his neck possessively.
I was in the bathroom. Kya Hua? Khushi? He tried to break the hug but she didnt allow him.
Lifting her feet off the ground, he carried her to the bed and made her sit on his lap.
Khushi, whats the matter? He asked worriedly.
She looked at him wondering if she can talk about yesterday. When did we come here?
Just few hours ago. Why?
Why didnt you wake me up?
I did but you asked me to Shut UP. He chuckled.
She looked at him all surprised. He looked relaxed as if nothing happened yesterday. She cupped his cheek and asked hesitatingly, Are you OK?
The moment she asked his face dropped remembering how he broke down last night.
Khushi, last night, I...
Shhh, I am glad it all happened when I am with you. I cant see you suffer alone. If you need to let it out, take me along with you through that pain but dont you dare go alone. She pecked his lips and embraced him. Arnav, are you sure you are alright?
I am fine Khushi. Thank you for managing me last night.
She slapped his chest. This is the last time you are saying thanks to me. Otherwise I will have to start some new traditions to punish you.
Oh really? Can I get a sample now?
Oh sure Mr. Raizada. I have loads of those, she quickly leaned over and bit his chin.
Ouuuchh, Ouuuch, damn Khushi!
Khushi giggled fluttering her eye brows.
This is not what I was expecting.
Good, I am glad you liked it. Saying this she tried to get up.
He pulled her down to the bed and he crawled up on her, I dint say that I liked it. You owe me an apology. NOW.
Ok Sorry! She said coolly.
Thats it?
Thats it!
What happened to your Sorry tradition?
I just scrapped that service, sorry no longer available. She said enjoying the frustration on his face.
Let me resume the service then. He rolled her onto him and kissed her fondly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Khushi made sure she hid her sarees and lehengas from him and hurriedly packed when he went to bathroom to get ready. She wanted to see his expression the first time he sees her in her best, in next 2 days.
While having brunch, Khushi insisted Kaaka to join them for the wedding but he excused himself saying he will relax at RM, as he is feeling tired due to his age.
Khushi and Arnav sped to farmhouse as soon as they heard Payal family and Akash family are reaching shortly. He drove to the back side of the east entrance where all the guest rooms are. Khushi kept checking on him if he is OK and to her satisfaction, he did looked quite relaxed unlike yesterday. May be he is occupied with all arrangements, she thought. As soon as they reach east side entrance, he called the maids and asked them to carry the bags to the one of the two master bed rooms located on the top floor away from all the buzz.
Mr. Raizada, when you are ready, I would like take you for run down. The event planner approached the couple.
Khushi looked at her in awe. The lady is tall, slim and didnt seem to have an inch of flesh. Must be Size Zero she thought.
Give us few mins, I will find you when I am ready. Saying Arnav held Khushi hand and took her inside the house.
She is hot, Khushi whispered following him.
So? He rushed in hurriedly ignoring the event planner while Khushi kept looking at the poise lady.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is where I have arranged for Payal Akash to stay for the night, if they decided to stay.
Arnav opened the other master bedroom on the top floor away from where these 2 are going to be.
Khushi's eyes first fell on the satin white fabric that draped beautifully from ceiling to floor. Wow! She exclaimed looking around the room. But she felt something missing. To confirm, she asked, is this where they are going to spend their first night?
If they want to! He said looking around the room, not quite happy.
I like it but it would be stunning if you added bright flowers to just pop the room a bit.
Yeah that was the plan but Akash mentioned she is feeling nauseated with the flowers scent and candles around. So I just asked them to keep it simple, as we are not sure where they are going to spend their first night here.
Oh but I love it. In a way it screams purity. Dont you think?
He nodded Yes acknowledging her. They both soon felt awkward talking about the first night. Khushi definitely turned red understanding what he must be thinking, the way he swept his eyes from her head to toe.
Lets go and you need to check out the arrangements. She pulled him out of the trance dragging him out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arnav on his way, called Ms. Sen, their event planner to meet him at the entrance. Khushi kept saying how excited she is to see all the arrangements. In fact he was more excited to show her, to see her reaction as he did everything with a twist keeping her in mind though its not their wedding.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and closed her eyes, he walked her to the front of the entrance.
As she opened her eyes to the humongous entrance laid with red carpet, she stood shocked not because of its size nor because of its beauty. She closed her mouth with her palms and looked at Arnav with tears.
Did you recognize? He asked whispering into her ears.
She nodded Yes. This is so much like our wedding Decor.
He nodded Yes, to the last detail he said smilingly. For few mins, both stood hand in hand, observing each detail, reliving that day they bonded to become one. There is more lets get inside. He held her strongly as she felt weak with overwhelming expressions.
She took her steps carefully following him on the red carpet, remembering the way they walked first time as couple on their engagement day.
As the event planner opened the door to the wedding hall, Khushi took one deep breath and forgot to breath rest. Everything same, decor, lighting, seating, mandap, everything same to the every tiny detail including the choice of flowers. If there is any difference, that would be the bride and groom.
You like it? He asked rubbing the back of her palm.
She nodded Yes unable to speak. Yeh sab?
I knew you would be upset remembering our days. Just a small attempt to give you that feeling of our wedding, which we missed.
She couldnt say anything, she felt speechless. He wiped her tears and spoke softly, I wanna show you last bit since we missed it in our wedding. He took her to the adjacent hall and opened the wide ceiling to floor french doors for her. She instantly kept her hand on her heart as the beautiful purple lighting and its decor skipped her beats.
This is specially for you, for you to dance, for you to sing, to relive your passion. How do you lke it? He asked looking around the room. She left his hand and looked around, the lights, the center stage, the digital audio system, the props...He reminded her school days where she used to perform beyond perfection. She turned back and looked into his eyes as he stood admiring her, and her shocked expression.
She walked to him and spoke in her choked voice referring to the event planner.
Miss, could you excuse us for few mins.
Ma'm I wouldn't mind but we are running late. Guests started coming. I need to check these with Mr. Raizada.
I said we need a moment. Please leave us for 5 mins. I wont take more than that. Khushi said sternly with her eyes fixed at Arnav.
He remained silent as he wanted to push her to become Mrs. ASR, to learn to say NO to people.
Ma'm please...
Khushi interrupted spitting her moist eyes on the event planner, while Arnav tried to control his urge to bash the event planner to listen to his wife. Before he could react, Khushi took control of the situation totally surprising him, Miss, I guess you havent heard me properly. I dont give damn about the guests now. I need to be with my husband for few mins. Please leave before I close the door on your face.
The planner left the room without looking back and Khushi pressed the button on wall to close the doors and locked it from opening it from the other end.
Arnav looked at her waiting for her, thinking what she is upto. She turned to him and cupped his face and gave him gentle kiss on his lips taking him by surprise. She just placed her lips on his without doing anything. She just needed to touch him, express her thanks to what he did. He opened his eyes as her salty tears made their way to his lips.
Khushi? He mumbled her name worriedly as she shed silent tears. You gave the meaning to my name today. It hasnt even been 24hrs since she shared what she missed in her life and how she left her passions. He already started turning the tables to make her dreams turn to reality. And that feeling filled her heart with inexplicable emotions.
She took a step back away from him and did something he wasnt expecting her to do, especially not at that moment.
Na kuch poocha
Na kuch maanga
Tune dil se diya jo diya
He was about to take her name, she stopped him placing her finger on his lips as she sang her heart out putting words to her overwhelming emotions.
Na kuch bola
Na kuch tola
Muskuraake diya jo diya
She took his hands in hers and kissed them, drenching them with her tears. His heart broke. He wanted to give her happiness but here she became emotional beyond words.
Tu hi dhoop tu hi chaaon
Tu hi apna paraya
Aur kuch na janoon main, bas itna hi janoon
She cupped his face and rested her forehead on his singing to his lips.
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai , Yaara main kya karoon
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai, Yaara main kya karoon
She left his face and took step back as she shed happy tears.
Sajde sar jhukta hai, Yaara main kya karoon
She bowed her head and touched his feet, making his heart stumble and bleed with her act. He instantly pulled her up to a hug showing her the place where she belongs, his heart not his feet.
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai, Yaara main kya karoon
She sang the last lines, in mumbling tone, weeping on his chest.
He brushed her hair, calming her as he knew how much this means to her. He felt overwhelmed seeing her reaction which at first place, he didnt imagine that she could react this way.
He pulled her out from hug and kissed her eyes drinking away all her pain, then her lips assuring her many more moments to come to cherish.
Arnav?
Hmm?
May I have dance with you? She mumbled through his lips.
Now? He broke the hug and looked surprised at her.
Any problem?
Not at all.
