PART 21: The Kalyanam😆
Next day.
Khushi was sleeping in her room bed while Arnav was sleeping in guest room of Rajan Palace. Though they took phere, Arnav wanted a Tamil Wedding so decided to stay separate the night and begin their journey in her favorite place, the journey of husband and wife. But fate had other plans.
Akshita: khushi, wake up. You are getting late.
Khushi(sleepy): Mami, it has not even dawned. Let me sleep na.
Akshita smiled and pulled the comforter off her.
Akshita: Wake up ma. Today is your Kalyanam.
Khushi sat up on her bed with a jerk.
Khushi: WHAT THE? Marriage? Ada Raama... how did I forget. But wait, even if it is marriage, why are u waking up me at 3:30 in the morning.
Akshita slapped her forehead.
Akshita: Hey Ram. Inda ponna vachitu naan enna panna?
What should I do with this girl?
Arnav who was hanging near her room window jumped in scaring the ladies and said.
Arnav: Chithi, Neenga onnum panna venam. Enna pannanumo atha Naan panren. Leave it to me.
You don't need to do anything with her. I will do What ever should be done with her.
Arnav winked. Khushi glared more and blushed too.
Khushi: to say this, you climbed the pipe and jumped into my room early in the morning? You laad governor.
She poked her finger on his chest with her another hand on her hip.
Meenu: A sight to watch.
Arnav: What to do? You see I am roadside Romeo. So came to meet my roadside Juliet who happens to be my wife, in my cheap style as u say.
Khushi could not help but smile. She was now his wife, her Angry bird's wife.
Akshita laughed at them and pulled Arnav's ear. Khushi was amused by the bond her Laad governor built with her Mami in such a short time. Bichari dint know the truth.
Akshita: Arnav? Its time for Mangal snaan. Goto your room before Periyamma comes here with something to knock you down.
Arnav: Ouch Chithi! Leave my ears. Ok I am leaving.
But before he left, he gave quick peck on a laughing Khushi's cheek making her gasp and ran out through the window.
Khushi was led to her spacious washroom and made to sit on a low stool by Akshita.
The same was done with Arnav by Pratap and Devyani.
Khushi's long hair was damped in oil by Akshita and Arnav's by his Dadi. He made faces.
Arnav: Dadi, little. Don't put too much. You will spoil my hair.
Dadi: Shut up chote. It's a ritual of Mangal Snaan. Don't open your mouth or oil will slip into your mouth.
Here Khushi slept while Akshita was applying oil makin her laugh.
Akshita: Khushi, wake up girl. Don't sleep like this.
Khushi: What shall I do mami? You are massaging my hair so well that I am feeling sleepy. Make it fast before I sleep here.
Khushi and Arnav were applied haldi again.
Then they were bathed in lukewarm water with help up Copper sieve. Making them feel sleepy.
They were allowed to change dress. Dadi went to Khushi's room and did the Gauri pooja with the guidance of the Pandit, who arrived there. Then Akshita made her wear the Shagun saree given by the groom. She plaited her hair in single long braid adorned with jasmine gajras.
Aman who came to meet Lavanya to the the bride's room rushed to Arnav's room after a small romantic moment with his wife.
Aman: ASR, your bride is ready.
But Aman could not say anything further as he saw his Arrogant boss in dhoti shirt standing like a prince.
Arnav smirked
Arnav: Thanks Aman. Be ready with your luggage to leave with me after the wedding.
Aman(mumbling): I always my stuffs packed as I have you as my boss.
Arnav laughed and went out as Dadaji called him.
Outside in lawn, there was a swing decorated with flowers. Dadaji gave him the garland while Khushi was ready with her garland with Lavanya by her side. Arnav shamelessly ogled her. She was like an angel wrapped in Yellor Kancheepuram silk saree. Khushi checked him. He was no less than Handsome prince in his silk Dhoti Shirt. Her breath hitched as she saw how his shirt hugged his well toned body and his muscled arms bulging out of his folded sleeve. She greedily roamaed her eyes over his manly chest left for her ogle by the top two open button.
This time before anyone could carry them off, they urgently slipped it in each other's neck making all clap and laugh.
But should anyone teach Arnav to steal a touch on his bride while garlanding her creamy neck.
No I think 😉.
Khushi blushed as they were led to the swing. They were made to sit besides. Arnav took the chance and sat so close rubbing his thigh with hers heating her up and smirking at the spread of crimson on her neck and cheeks.
Then they were led to the Alter and all the rituals were done as dictated by pandit including Havan. Her Kanyadan was done by Aman and Lavanya and ghatbandan was done by Akshita.
Then Arnav was allowed to place the Thaali, the Mangalsutra in Tamil. Much to Khushi's convenience Arnav selected a thin gold chain as thaali for her. Khushi smiled at this gesture and bend her head to take it from him as he tied it around her neck and brushed his sinful fingers on her neck making her shudder and put Sindoor on her maang caressing her forehead and cheeks.
Dadi: Chote, patience.
Dada: As if you had?
Dadi glared at him.
Dada: What? Don't u remember what you did after our marriage?
Dadi: Besharam. Stay in limits atleast in public.
Arnav and Khushi laughed.
Arnav: Dadi, I think there are many secrets about your marriage.
Dada: Chote, if you dig this, you will get late for your honeymoon. Is it ok?
Arnav gave his What the look.
Arnav and Khushi took their 7 steps to the Grindstone or Saan ka pathar and Arnav took her feet and placed on it.
Arnav bend to her feet to placed the toe ring bending his head to her feet.
Dadaji: Jhukiye chote, that's it. After this you will never get a chance to stand up.
Arnav looked bewildered. Khushi laughed at him.
Khushi: At last I brought Mr. Angry Bird to my feet.
Arnav: I know better ways to do the same with you. Behave yourself Jhalli Rani.
Everyone laughed at them as Arnav pinched her feet as he placed the toe ring and she winced and glared at him.
They then took Dada dadi's and Akshita's blessings. Aran was fuming throughout the wedding while Daksh was waiting for a time like eagle waiting for its pray.
As all the rituals got over, all got themselves ready to leave. Khushi went to her room to gether her luggage but she was cornered by her Mama and Aran.
Meenu: That Red Lehenga in my teaser was to confuse you guys😉
So here it is. Its actually after the marriage.
Khushi was happily smiling as she got her bags ready to leave with her husband, her laad governor, her Angry Bird, her Roadside Romeo, HER ANNU.
KHUSHI
The voice broke her chain of thoughts. She turned to see the person.
Khushi: ARAN Neeya(You)?
Aran: Yes. Naane than. Its me.
Khushi: why you asked me to meet me here?
Aran: Because there is something important you should know about your marriage.
Khushi: My marriage?
YES.
There was another voice that made Khushi to turn to the other person.
Khushi: Mama?
Daksh: Khushi maa, your marriage is a plot.
Khushi: WHAT?
Aran: yes. He collected Informations about all our illegal business and threatened us for this marriage.
Daksh: Now only you can save us.
Khushi was stunned to hear this. Her marriage was a plot. Not out of love. It was a method of winning her. By stamping her family. She felt herself as sold. HER MARRIAGE BECAME A DIRTY GAME.
BUHAHAHAHAHA...
Now Enjoy the Marriage my dear Readers😈
