Part 41(Last):

After the puja in the evening, and lot of teasings, blushings, shying aways and fake irritation, fake angry and fake bashing outs, both Arnav and Khushi were left inside the room by their family. Everyone left from there by closing the door, leaving both the bride and groom in completely different state.

After sitting in an unknown embarrassment, Arnav looked at Khushi, who sat looking down with blushing cheeks, confused eyes and tensed body language. Arnav's situation is not at all different from hers.

'Whatever closeness we shared till now, where did it go?' he wondered little aloud, making Khushi look at him from corner of her eyes.

"Damn it... I never expected this. I never thought this wedding would make us embarrassed, I never expected that this wedding will push us away from our comfortable zone. I think we should have eloped and get married in formal way. I know all those teasing and bold comments are the reason for our situation now. What do you think Khushi?" in his irritation, he successfully started a conversation with her.

"I agree with you Arnav ji. We are so much comfortable previous day. I never knew marriage will pull us in this situation. These south Indian weddings are hell tiring" Khushi answered him with a sigh

"I agree with you... but I enjoyed a lot. Particularly that rice pouring on each others heads, what did he say that ritual's name? Some... thambalu... or"

"I think talambralu. I too enjoyed it a lot..." Khushi said

"Oh... yeah I forgot to give this. Wait..." Arnav took a small box from his pant pocket and opened to reveal a beautiful pearl studded ring. He tied that ring in Khushi's sari's pallu end and said "I don't know the meaning or reason for this. But dad asked me to tie this in your pallu, Pandit ji said it seems"

"This is so beautiful Arnav ji. Thank you..."

After that they both again sat in silence not knowing what to do or what to talk. Both sat stealing glances from each other. Suddenly Khushi turned her side facing Arnav

"I want to thank you Arnav ji, for coming into my life. I never expected my life to turn into this beautiful way. Thank you so much Arnav ji, for whatever you did and doing. I don't know how to express my happiness, but I was never this much happy before. My heart is jumping in joy for being your wife. You don't know, you marrying me, what immense happiness it gave me. Your gestures, your wish and Your love everything makes me crave for more. I want to live each and every second with you. I want to face this world without any fear with you beside me throughout my life. I don't know how to express what I'm thinking now, but all I can say is - I Love You... and I can't live without you... please bear me in your life" Khushi said, getting overwhelmed with the happiness.

"Shh... Khushi... relax... don't be anxious. I can clearly understand what you are going through. Believe me Khushi, I'm not in any different state. Do you know how many thanks I said to God today, for making you mine? It meant to be happen Khushi. We are meant to be together. How many lives, how many stories may come, Arnav and Khushi will be together... forever... I Love you... from the bottom of my heart..." with that Arnav leaned forward and kissed her forehead all lovingly.

After leaving a lingering Kiss on Khushi's cheeks, he said "Go and change Khushi. You look tired. You should sleep. Go..." Arnav pushed her towards bathroom little and about to go to his closet to collect his nightwear, but stopped feeling a tug on his hand

"Arnav ji?" His name told everything what she wants to ask him

"Relax Khushi... I just don't want to make you more uncomfortable by hurrying the things. I will wait... and I CAN wait. You no need to worry, just take how much time you want. But make sure, you are comfortable with me around you"

"Arnav ji, I meant when I said I want to cherish each and every second of my life with you. I want to start my life afresh as your wife. I don't want to waste not even a single moment I spent with you. I want to live my life Arnav ji, with happiness. And I know only you can give me that. Please Arnav ji... don't push me away today. I need you... I need you to live my life, to start my life, to taste the happiness, to learn to live life with completeness as your girl, as your wife. Don't push me away... ple..."

Arnav stopped her by cupping her cheeks and said "Shh... you don't need to plead Khushi. You are my WIFE. That means you have every right on me. You should demand whatever you want. If you want to step forward in this relation, I'm so ready to walk with you. Whatever I said, I said because I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable" seeing the happiness on Khushi's face, Arnav continued saying feeling content "But after listening to whatever you said, I think I should change my decision of letting you in peace. Khushi, you don't know how difficult for me to control now from my... you know... raging hormones. But... are you sure Khushi? I mean if I start, I can't control my damn feelings. Hell... don't answer that... you don't have option now..." with that he started what he should and what Khushi wanted him to do, to bring their relation forward, to make their bond stronger, to show the world of happiness to their hearts. ((A/N: sorry if I disappoint you guys. But I can't write romantic stuff))

::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Their sleep got disturbed by a knock on the door.

"Khushi... wake up... it's already morning"

Both Khushi and Arnav sat with a jerk and looked at each other

"Amma?" said Khushi

"Go and see, what she is doing here at this time" Arnav rushed to washroom, while Khushi adjusted herself presentable to her mother

"Amma... what are you doing here in this morning? Is everything Okay?" Khushi asked worriedly.

"I'm okay Khushi, Ma ji (Arnav's Dadi) called me yesterday night and asked us to come. After yesterday's night, I mean after first night, mother should be the first person to see her daughter and pandit ji told like that it seems. So, Ma ji asked me to come and wake you up. How are you beta?" Amma asked cupping Khushi's left cheek.

Khushi hugged her mother tightly with moisten eyes "I'm so happy Amma. I'm so happy..."

That hug itself said everything to Amma how happy her daughter is. She sent silent prayers to God, for sending an Angel in her daughter's life. Both the ladies turned their heads after hearing the washroom door opening. Garima, entered in the room hesitantly and walked towards Arnav. She folded her hands before him

"Arey aunty what are you doing?" Arnav held Amma's hands in his. He was shocked to see her folding her hands before him

"Let me beta... I can never say enough thank you for making my daughter happy. I can never say enough thank you for your support, so let me do this to tell my gratitude. God Bless you Arnav. God Bless you..." she kept her hand on his head and turned to Khushi and said "Chalo Khushi. We need to go down now, I should take to you to puja room. After you praying the god, you can come here and get ready for your life, come..." Amma take her out of the room.

:::::::::::::::

It's been 2 months of their wedding. Arnav and Khushi, both settled in their happy life. After lot of arguments, irritations, and Arnav's shouts and Khushi's stubbornness, everyone agreed to Khushi to work in Aran's office after hearing her point.

"If I work in your office, you will never concentrate on work and at the end you will blame me. I don't want that. I don't want your hard work to go in drain just because of my presence in your office. And... and... I need father's hand on my head Arnav ji. Only office hours can give me that. Please don't push me away from my father..." she cried her heart out by thought of missing Arav's fatherly affection.

"Why are you making her cry Chote... anyway you will get her whenever you are at home, you won't give us any chance to even talk with her. I'm with Khushi now. And I don't want to you to say a word against this" Anjali warned her brother seeing vulnerable Khushi. Arnav also felt stupefied after seeing Khushi in that state. Everyone in the room understood how much she missing her father. Having no option Arnav agreed to her request.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Khushi... Di... Dadi... Mom... Dad... where are you guys? Come out fast..." Arnav shouted from the door.

Khushi and Anjali came out from the kitchen, and Aran and Akshaya from their room to see broadly smiling Arnav, who is talking with Dadi. Everyone looked at each other then at Arnav.

"What's the matter? Today Mr. Raizada is so happy and excited?" Aran said sitting beside his son. He can clearly see the happiness on his son's face after Khushi came into his life.

"I'm more than happy Dad. Khushi you won't get any calls from him, he was arrested in murder attempt with life time imprisonment. As we planned, Rajesh's team sent Abhinav to Pankaj to trap him in our web. But I don't know what and how this happened but pankaj tried to kill Abhinav"

"WHAT!!!" Everyone shouted in the room

"How is he now Chote?" asked Dadi

"He is fine Dadi. It's pure luck that someone heard their argument and informed police. By the time they reached, they saw Pankaj stabbing Abhinav. They immediately arrested him. When police asked Abhinav what's wrong between them, Abhinav cleverly said that Pankaj is threatening him and Latha to spoil our lives and also asking them to kill me. As we already have complaint against him, they believed Abhinav and arrested Pankaj immediately. After hearing lot of arguments, today judge gave his final word punishing Pankaj for his lifetime. I'm so glad it's over. Dad... one interesting thing came out. As Khushi suspected, your office details are going out and that person is appointed by Pankaj. But that fellow escaped and police are looking for him"

"What about Abhinav and Latha?" asked Aran after a pause

"Nothing..." said Arnav

"What do you mean by nothing?"

"Dad... you know that whatever they did, we can't put any case on them. Only Khushi can give complaint saying whatever they did. But I'm sure it won't sound good. And most importantly, I don't want to Khushi to step up the court. Whatever she faced that's enough, I want her to be happy. If she complains about whatever Abhinav did to her, his lawyer will ask so many question. I think you all can guess what type of questions they would ask Khushi, so, I don't want her to be in that place. I hope Khushi will understand" he looked at Khushi, who smiled back feeling happy to get him in her life.

"Then will they stay here? Around Us?" Dadi said, not liking them near her dearest grandchild - Khushi

"No Dadi... they won't. I send them to remote country in Africa. One of my client's brother have some company there. I requested job for Abhinav there and they immediately agreed. And without having option, both of them left to that country. They won't come back, till she want" Arnav said looking at Khushi

Khushi felt relaxed and sad hearing this news. Arnav came to her and hugged her saying "Don't worry, they will be fine. It's just I can't let him stay in peace after whatever he tried to do with you. It's needed Khushi, for my sanity. I wish and hope they will come around with good mind... mm... okay?" he asked kissing her forehead. She nodded her head.

After hearing things from NK, Mami ji also realised that she is unnecessarily cursing Khushi. Now she understood how much bad both Latha and her husband. She genuinely felt sorry for whatever she said to Khushi. She came to RM and heard everything what Arnav said to others. She came forward and asked forgiveness from Khushi and Arnav by holding her hands. Both Arnav and Khushi hugged her from both the sides and said "we were never angry on you Mami. Because we understand your concern and love towards us" Mami left from there with happy tears.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"Why do I think that you are not that much happy with PAL thing? Are you okay Arnav ji?" Khushi asked looking at him by looking up. Her head was kept on his chest after their loving time.

"I so wanted to punish them with my own hands Khushi, but Shyam said not to. He said if I take one step wrong, it will help them to fight on that point and weakens our side. I just wanted to kill that Pankaj for whatever he did to Di and you... I'm so angered and..."

"Shh... it's okay... I know... relax... now he is out of our lives. He won't bother us anymore... relax..." Khushi said kissing softly on his bear chest.

Arnav closed his eyes in pleasure feeling her soft lips on his chest. He looked at her with his drugged eyes, which made her blush. The urge of kissing her and feeling her, became uncontrollable, he pinned her to the bed and locked her by putting his leg on hers. His one hand cupped her cheek and another rested on pillow above her head

" I think we should celebrate this in our own way, what do you say Mrs. Raizada?" Arnav asked in his low husky voice. His thumb is slowly caressing her lower lip sending shivers to her spine

"Did I ever stop you from celebrations before? Why are you wasting time by asking?" she whispered back making him surprise with her bold words. He smiled naughtily seeing her blushing face

"As you say..." saying this he leaned on her pressing his leg more and captured her lips into toe curling kiss.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Three years later...

"Khushi betiya... why are you straining yourself much? There are so many workers to do work. And Chote is there to look after everything. You shouldn't walk around betiya... come and sit with me" Dadi called Khushi lovingly and asked to sit beside her.

Khushi came to her with a serene smile on her face and sat beside Dadi. Khushi lied on the sofa and kept her head on Dadi's lap. Khushi closed her eyes feeling her nerves getting relaxed by Dadi caressing her hair.

"I'm already missing Anjali Di." Khushi said in low voice. Her voice shivered with sadness filled with happiness

"Hmm"

"I hope she will get her happiness at least now" said Akshaya wiping her tears. Yesterday, they got her married to Shyam. That was really hard for the Raizada-s to send their daughter away from them. But they trusted Shyam and Gupta-s with their daughter. After seeing how they brought up Khushi, they are satisfied about their daughter's future.

"Don't worry Ma ji... I will make sure Bhai will treat her well. Otherwise, he has to answer me" Khushi said looking at her MIL, who smiled little. Akshaya knew, how much Khushi missing Anjali and she also know, how much Khushi is acting brave to give others support. Akshaya nodded her head with a small smile. Silence occupied in the room. Everyone thoughts went back the day, when Anjali announced her love towards Shyam making everyone surprised.

As Arnav promised to Khushi, he made sure, Shyam stays with them. He transferred Shyam to Delhi office. He joined in Arnav's legal advisory team and started his work. Shyam coming to RM to see Khushi and discuss with Arnav about some work related things, he helping Raizada-s to win the case against Pankaj, all gave a chance to Anjali to observe Shyam and slowly it affected her. He never took advantage of Anjali's situation. He always respected her for her strong mentality after facing betrayal. He always stayed in his limits. The love he showed towards Khushi, made Anjali think about a relation with him. 'Being an adoptive son, he takes care of Khushi so much. How would he take care of his wife?' That is the thought made her think a lot about Shyam. After observing him for long time and confirming her love towards him, one day she announced her love to her family.

First Khushi and Shyam didn't agree for this marriage, saying Anjali can't adjust in middle class family like them. But seeing Anjali's stubbornness and family's pleadings and Arnav's assurance made Khushi agree. But Shyam turned out to be a tough nut to crack. It took 5 months for Anjali to make him agree for the wedding. Immediately after he agreed for the wedding, they called the pandit and confirmed the wedding date. And yesterday was the wedding day. Everyone lived the moment of happiness and felt very happy after seeing the glowing face of Anjali. Khushi warned Shyam in her Khushi's style to take care of Anjali, otherwise he has to answer her made everyone adore her. Anjali hugged Khushi thanking her for coming into their lives. After that painful yet happy separation, they bid bye to Anjali and Gupta-s.

Khushi opened her eyes feeling soft touch on her forehead. She looked at her husband and smiled in relax. Arnav came back from his office just now. Because of Anjali's marriage, he couldn't attend any meetings and office. So, today he left to office early in the morning and couldn't come early before dinner. He along with other Raizadas worried about Khushi after seeing how much strain she took in the rituals of wedding.

"You came? Wait... I will serve you dinner" she is about to sit up but stopped by Arnav.

"I already had in office. You just lie down. How are you feeling? Any discomfort?"

"No Arnavji... I'm fine" she said looking at him with love and keeping her hand on his which is on her bump, protectively.

"What are my angels doing?" he kissed her bump to get a smack from dadi

"Don't you have shame? We are here only" Akshaya said

"Oh come on Mom... it's my right to do this. I think without me or my contribution, she won't be in this situation and you know that well, don't you?" he asked winking at Khushi, making her all red

"OH God... this boy is so shameless... Khushi, take your husband to your room and bear with his shameless doings and yeah please ask him to control his romance whenever you guys are before us... unbelievable... this generation became so unbelievable..." with that akshaya ran to her room while Dadi also left from there smiling to herself

"Why did you say that? Why do you always make her irritated?" asked Khushi

"Then what to do? Do you think she will leave me without teasing? If I won't behave like this, she will make me blush one day by teasing me with my wife and children. As you know that I'm ASR, I can't let others win, be it Mom or Dadi or some other"

"Yeah... she is right... you are unbelievable..." Khushi said shaking her head

"Leave all that... come you need rest" Arnav took Khushi to their room and made her lie on the bed. He adjusted the pillows. There was a knock and akshaya came inside with a glass of milk.

"Ma ji... you don't need to do this, you should have sent with HP" Khushi felt uncomfortable

"It's okay Khushi. I'm just worried about you. You are looking more week today. Are you okay?" akshaya asked with worried tone

"I'm fine Ma ji... it's just I'm feeling tired and my legs are also paining as they are swelling. I'm feeling some discomfort while sleeping too. I just can't wait more to get them in my hand, just one more month" Khushi said looking at her bump while caressing with her hand.

Akshaya kept her hand on Khushi's and said "This is really crucial time Khushi, you have to be careful beta. Carrying twins is not at all normal. Be careful and don't do any work. And don't worry, everything will be fine. Just stay happy and keep your mind relaxed, okay? I will go now..." she turned to Arnav and said "Chote... come with me, I will give an oil, you massage it on Khushi's feet. It will give relaxation to her" she left followed by Arnav

By the time, arnav came back, Khushi is sleeping peacefully. Not waking Khushi up, arnav slowly sat near her feet and massaged the oil.

"Arnav ji..." Khushi called him in low whisper and put her hand in air to get hold of him

"Oh did I wake you?" Arnav asked coming to her side by catching her hand

"No... I just want to be with you... I'm feeling some uneasiness. I couldn't sleep properly"

"Come..." Arnav adjusted himself sitting leaning on head rest. He slowly unwrapped her dress and made Khushi sit between his legs. He started massaging her bump from behind, while Khushi leaning on him by closing eyes. He slowly caressed her bump leaving kisses on her shoulder.

"You know Arnav ji... it's really difficult to resist you. I'm missing you so much..." she pushed herself into Arnav's chest cooing.

Arnav closed his eyes controlling his desires.

"Please Khushi... don't make it difficult for me. I'm controlling myself very hard. I don't want to hurt you or kids. Please..."

Khushi moaned heavily feeling his hands caressing her, above her stomach

"Your caressing is not helping me Arnav ji... It's giving me more pain... but I want this pain as much as you want... please Arnav ji..."

Unable to control himself more, he bit her shoulder hard. He adjusted her on the bed and made himself more comfortable beside her. Leaning forward, he softly kissed corner of her lips and trailed kisses all over her face. Then he started his ministrations to relax his wife. He shook his head, when she was about to get up and charge him. He assured her with his kisses, to love her, however she wants when she would be ready. He assured her with his caress, he still loves her how much ever weight she gain. He assured her with his sweet nothings, he still love her whatever the situation would be. He assured her he will be with her in her life. He assured her he will give all the happiness and pleasures, she deserves and she craves. With his kisses and caresses, he assured her how precious she is to him.

Khushi looked her husband with the love and desire she has for him. She understood how much important he became in her life. She knew, how difficult it will be for her to live without him. He made her think how precious he is with the love he showers on her. She felt lucky have him. She thanked their parents for bringing them together. She slowly returned the kisses he is showering on her to relax her. She knew, how much she is controlling her desires, he is doing much more than that not to hurt her. She took different methods to pleasure him, showering her kisses and caressing him, showing how much precious he is to her.

They kissed each other, relaxing each other, promising each other, assuring each other. After kissing for their heart content, both slept in each other arms dreaming about their future. Taking and giving promises about their happy future...
