When are you updating?

KHUSHI

"Are you serious about what you said earlier?", Arnav asked me as soon as he came in with the others.

"What are you talking about Arnav ?"

"I am talking about me not getting the kiss."

"Oh that, I told you, you can try. I really don't think you'll succeed."

"Then I give up.", he said and went past me to join the others.

I really do not know what made me behave like that; still I was enjoying all this.

The series of Bollywood songs began.

I tried my best to avoid Arnav and danced with the groom Rishabh and my brother Sam on the song Radha' from Student of the year.

I kept on glancing at Arnav occasionally and after some time he disappeared.

"Where is Arnav ?", I asked Ria after she came up to me after my performance.

"I don't know. It seems like he just disappeared."

"Hey girls, what's going on?"

"Nothing Nivi, I was just asking her if she knew where Arnav was."

"Oh, I didn't see him around. Where will he be?"

"I don't know.", I said and she laughed when she realized that she asked the same question back to me.

"I want to dance too.", Nivi said.

"But you shouldn't."

"I know."

"Hey are you regretting being a mother?"

"No dear, not at all. Having kids changes the meaning of everything...it makes the clouds readable, and the sky touchable and words I could never say, speakable.

"That was absolutely sweet Nivi.", I commented an Ria smiled.

"Come on, let's get back to the Sangeet. Anya might be looking for us.", Nivi said and we moved back inside.

The next performance was set to begin any moment and I knew nothing about what was scheduled next.

The lights dimmed and the song Dilliwaali girlfriend' from Yeh jawaani hein diwaani started paying. The next thing I knew is that the spotlight fell on Arnav .

What was he thinking when he picked up that song for performance, I asked myself.

Arnav came to me and continued his dance. It was clear that he was referring to me in the song.

I escaped from there when Arnav was not looking.

"Khushi?", I heard my name being called while I was in the garden.

"Hello sir, thanks for coming.", I said to Mr. Sharma.

"You are welcome kid. I am so glad that I came. I got to know something."

"What?", I asked hoping he wasn't saying about what I was thinking.

"Oh come on Khushi, don't act as if you don't know anything. I'm talking about Arnav ."

"Was it that obvious?"

"It wasn't obvious, but Arnav made it clear in his performance."

"Yeah I had told him not to do anything like that."

"Why? You feared about the media, I mean you work for us and you know how persuading we could be for inner details."

"That was one main reason sir.", I admitted.

"You don't know me, do you?", he asked me and I nodded against it.

"No, I guess."

"Even if you had come to me and told me, I wouldn't have put any pressure on you."

"Are you serious sir?", I questioned in shock.

"I am Khushi. If you want it to be kept a secret, I would let it be."

"Thank you sir."

I saw Arnav approaching me. Mr. Sharma saw him too.

"So Mr. Raizada, you are dating Khushi?", he questioned him.

"I am."

"Well then I hope you would keep her happy. She is like a daughter to me. If you don't I may even hunt you down."

"My life is already in danger from many. I would not dare sir. In addition, the main thing is I do not want to leave her. "

I smiled looking at both of them. A lone tear escaped my eyes.

"Okay then, I'll leave you both to enjoy.", Mr. Sharma said and took his leave.

"Bye sir, thank you."

"You are welcome kid. Bye and take care."

"Khushi, what are you doing here?"

"I am enjoying the decoration in the garden.", I said bluntly.

"Why? Did you not like my performance? You should have stayed till the end."

"Why? Arnav , do you even know what you were doing back there?"

"I was dancing, wasn't I?"

"Arnav , I am talking about the song. Don't you know the meaning of the lines tere liye hi toh signal tod chad ke, aaya dilliwaaali girlfriend chod chad ke?"

"Yes. It means I ran the signal and left my girlfriend from Delhi for you. That is the truth right?"

"That is the truth, but do you want the world to know too? Everyone inside might know by now."

"So what is the problem Khushi? It is a matter of few days. I am going to announce to the world that you are my girlfriend soon after the wedding."

"WHAT?"

"Yes. And I guess you don't want this relationship to be secret forever, do you?"

"No, but...", he cut me mid-off.

"No more buts Khushi, I love you and it is time to let the world know."

"It really is.", I said and kissed him. He was shocked when I initiated it but eventually gave in.

"I think we should go in now. Your parents might be wondering where we are.", Arnav said.

"You go in, I'll be back in a moment.", I said noticing something, precisely someone behind him.

He gave me one final peck on the lips before he went in.

"So I see, you have found someone.", Rohan said as I went to stand in front of him.

"Yeah I knew I would find him.", I said stressing on him.

"It has been years.", he said and hugged me.

"I know.", I said back to him.

"Excuse me...", I heard a girl say and we broke the hug.

"Hi.", she said and looked at Rohan.

"Yeah Khushi, this is my fiance, and Sarah this is Khushi, my ex-crush." , he said and I looked at her for a reaction.

"You are beautiful Khushi. I now know what made him fall for you."

I was in for a fix; I did not know how to respond to that.

"Don't worry; I have moved on and clearly you have too. Both of us were silly back then with our crushes."

Wait a minute, did he just call my crush back then silly, so he does not know that Arnav was with me. Oh yeah, right. He only saw Arnav 's back. Maybe I can give him a surprise.

"Where are you lost Khushi?", Sarah asked me and I came back to the present.

"You are cool with your to-be husband's ex-crush?", I said and she smiled in response.

"That is because I know you never reciprocated the feeling."

"Yeah right, Rohan what do you do these days."

"I am not telling you."

"Why not?"

"Because I am damn sure you would not believe me."

"Try me." I said.

"I am a private investigator."

"What the..., I mean no way."

"Yes ma'am."

"Khushi, won't you invite us in?" Sarah asked.

Oh sorry, sure...why not, come on lets go in." I said.

PART B

"Khushi, you were the one having the crush on the cricketer Arnav Raizda, then how did Anya end up with Rishabh Singhania?"

"I don't know, fate maybe. She once told me about their meeting, well I clearly don't remember a bit."

"Rohan..!!!", I heard Karan scream as he rushed to us at the door.

"It has been so long bro, where did you disappear to? No phone calls, no Facebook profile...nothing""

"Sorry bro, I just left without saying. But now I'm back for good."

"That is fine, tell me when did you arrive in Mumbai?", Karan asked. By now, Ria too had joined us.

"Two hours ago."

"And where are you staying?"

"Not yet decided."

"You see that house out there?", pointing to his house.

"Yes."

"You can stay there."

"What do you mean?"

"One Mr. Karan Mehra and Mrs. Ria Karan Mehra stays there."

"Oh, I didn't know."

"Well now you do."

By the time we all went in, the Sangeet party was over. Most of the guests had left. The only ones remaining were my parents, Arnav's dad, Nivi, Liam, their kid, Sam, Karan, Ria, Rohan, Sarah and I.

Arnav was nowhere to be seen.

"Rohan beta, you are back.", my mom rushed to him as soon as she saw him.

"How are you aunty?"

"I'm good beta, you? And who is this girl with you?"

"Meet Sarah, Rohan my childhood friend's fiance.", I made the introductions.

"Childhood friend?", Sam asked suggestively.

"Yeah, childhood friend. Well, he had a crush on me back then is another story."

"You had a crush on my to-be sister in law?", Nivi asked with little Rick in her arms.

"Yeah, I had, but she had a crush on Arnav Raizda. So I had to leave."

I noticed the facial expressions of everyone present in the room change. I signalled them not to say anything.

"Let me introduce you to everyone Rohan."

"You know my parents, Anya, Karan and Ria.", he nodded.

"This is Rishabh Singhania, Indian cricketer, Anya's soon to be husband."

I continued after their pleasantries.

"This is my boyfriend's dad",

I said motioning to Mr. Raizda, clearly not mentioning a name. They smiled at each other.

"This is Nivi, his sister and her husband Liam. He is an Australian."

They shook hands.

"This little kid is Rick, their son, who is 3 months old.", I said taking little Rick into my hands.

"He is adorable.", Rohan said as I handed Rick back to Nivi.

The last person present was Sam.

"This is...", I started, but Rohan signalled for me to stop.

"Your boyfriend...Hi I'm Rohan.", he said to Sam.

"I am Samar Khan, they call me Sam, and I am her Rakhi brother, not her boyfriend.", he said and I saw a wave of shock pass through Rohan's face.

If he was shocked now, then what would be his reaction when he meets Arnav, I wondered.

"Oh sorry."

"It is okay", Sam said and Rohan turned to me.

"Then where is your boyfriend?", he asked me.

"I am here, hi Rohan.", Arnav said coming down the stairs.

"V..Vih...Arnav Raizda?", Rohan stammered. His face was hilarious, jaw dropped and eyes popping.

"Yeah bro, Arnav Raizda, and you are acting like a fan girl.", Arnav said coming to stand beside me.

"You finally got him?", Rohan asked me.

"Yeah, I guess."

The rest of the time went by in a rush.

Arnav left soon with his family. Ria, Karan, Rohan and Sarah too soon went their ways.

Anya and I ignored the phone calls from Rishabh and Arnav that night and spent our night reminiscing good old days.

Last time the boys had decided to skip the mehndi and this time only girls were invited.

Rishabh's mom came with some of his relatives. My dad had taken Rohan, Karan, and Sam out for some work.

Anya was dressed in an orange and yellow saree while I wore a salwar kameez of the same color combination.

"Have you seen Ria?", my mom asked me.

"No mom, she might be in her house."

"Yeah she told she will come here in a few minutes.", Sarah said joining us.

"I think she forgot about the mehndi cones I gave her, Khushi you go and get it."

"Okay mom.", I said and left my house to enter hers.

The front door was open so I went in, straight to her room. She was inside the washroom. Therefore, I decided to wait for her after picking up the mehndi cones.

I noticed her as she came out. Her face was pale. She had not noticed me and went straight to her drawer and picked something up and went straight back to the washroom.

Are you guys thinking the same as me?

She came out again after a couple minutes.

"Congratulations Ria, you are pregnant.", I said surprising her.

"Khush, when did you get here and how did you know?"

"I was here while you came out to take that with you. You were pale then and the glow on your face now confirmed my doubts."

"Awww... I love you."

"Hey, it is me Khushi, not Karan."

"So what, I love my bff too. I am so excited, Karan would be so happy."

"I am happy for you too. Come on lets go. Or do you want to take rest?"

"I can come with you. I can always take rest in your room if I want."

"Right."

We went home. Ria didn't tell anyone else because she wanted to tell karan first.

"Finally you two are here, hand me the cones.", Nivi said a she took the cones from my hands.

Mehndi was over soon.

"Have you written my name on your mehndi?", Arnav asked me as I attended his call.

"No. why would I?"

"Because you love me."

"Really?"

"Really.", he said hugging me from behind.

"Arnav, when did you get here?"

"When I called."

"Why are you here?"

"To see your mehndi. Don't say that you will wait till after the wedding to show that to me."

"Don't you worry. That rule is applicable to only the bride. Here.", I said as I opened my hands to show him the design.

"This is so obvious. I mean I can read my whole name clearly."

"Yes, that is because I wanted it to be and your sister did my mehndi ."

"It is nice."

"Well thank you Mr. Raizda.", Nivi said coming in.

"You are welcome Mrs. Preston."

"So Mr. Raizda, your time is up. Her mother sent me in here to kick you out."

"Why? I just came in."

"So what, we have lots of work left. Today I am staying here. Therefore, you go home now and get these things for me. ", Nivi said handing him a list.

"Give it to your husband."

"He is already on it. This is the second list.", she said and pushed him out.

"I am sorry I ruined your time together, but there are many things left to be done."

"Which is more important, I understand Nivi.", after all my sister is getting married.

The day of the wedding arrived soon. Ria was nowhere to be seen.

That is a complete lie. Ria was present but Karan had made her sit and rest. Thank god Sarah was there for help. Rick was being a crybaby all the time like his father and Nivi was holding him all the time.

"Arnav, let me go.", I said as he stood in front of me blocking the way.

"One kiss and you can go."

"No way Arnav, I have to go."

"One kiss, please.", he said. I saw Sam behind him. He had heard Arnav and he came and kissed Arnav on his cheek.

"Now let her go bro.", Sam said smirking.

Arnav was shocked and I stepped away from them taking advantage of the situation.

"Thanks bhai.", I said to Sam later. Arnav was present beside me then.

"Anything for my little sis.", he said winking at me and smirked at Arnav, who ignored him.

"This time won't allow you to hide Rishabh's shoes", Arnav said to me and stood next to Rishabh's shoes like he was its bodyguard.

Poor Arnav does not even know I was not planning to do that, Sam and I had plans of our own.

The ceremony began. Anya looked absolutely beautiful in the red and silver ghaghra choli. I had chosen a multi-coloured blouse with deep violet lehnga. Arnav was stunned at first then recovered. He looked handsome as usual in the navy blue kurta. Blue was his colour, be it the Indian team's jersey or the traditional wear.

Rishabh tied the Mangalsutra' around Anya's neck and then stood up for the pheres.

I already knew the seven vows from all the research I had done.

With the first phera, the couple invokes the gods for the plenitude of pure and nourishing food and a life that is noble and respectful.

With the second phera the couple prays for physical and mental strength and to lead a healthy and peaceful life.

The third phera is taken for the fulfilment of spiritual obligations. The gods are invoked for blessing the couple with spiritual strength.

The fourth phera is taken for the attainment of happiness and harmony through mutual love and trust and a long joyous life together.

The fifth phera is taken to pray for the welfare of all living entities in the entire universe and for begetting noble children.

The sixth phera is for bountiful seasons all over the world. The couple prays for bountiful seasons and seeks that they may go through these seasons together, just as they would share their joys and sorrows.

With the last phera they pray for a life of understanding, loyalty, unity and companionship not only for themselves but also for the peace of the universe.
