Marriage Day

Marriage hall was looking so busy. Then? Would ASR marriage be simple? Garima was not allowed to roam and she was sitting in front of the stage. Aman was rushing here and there making arrangements. Sara was insisting him to do everything perfectly.

Sara observed that her son's eyes following a particular person. "Preeto". She thought to ask him about her, before she did that, Aman came to Sara.

Aman: Mom, can't you remember anything?

Sara: Remember?

Aman: Like... you made a girl wear a chain or ring a few years ago.... Like Ratna aunty did?

Sara(folding her hands): This is the first time I'm coming to Lucknow.

Aman: Ohhh

Sara (purposely): Ammu, I forgot to tell you. Do you remember my friend Vaishali?

Aman(with disinterest): Yah, your MBBS mate.

Sara: Exactly. She wants you to marry her daughter who is also a doctor.

Aman(with wide-opened eyes): Mom, one doctor is enough for a family. Let her serve for someone. A simple girl is enough for me. He said looking at Preeto who was talking with a guest.

Sara: ohh. Are you sure?

Aman: Yap

Sara: I will keep it in my mind.

She started monitoring Preeto.

Our bride was shining like North Star. That was the big day of her life. She was going to be Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada in few minutes officially. She asked Preeto about Arnav and she said that he didn't come to the hall yet. Her face brightened when Arnav's name flashed on her mobile screen. She attended it instantly.

Khushi: Hello, Arnavji...

Arnav: Hi.

Khushi: Why didn't you come here yet?

She heard the announcement through the phone. It was like an Airport announcement.

Khushi(confused): Arnavji Where are you?

Arnav: In the Airport.

Khushi: Airport? Are any of your friends coming for our marriage?

Arnav: It's me who is going to London.

Khushi (shockingly): What!!! London? Arnavji today is our Marriage.

Arnav: I'm sorry Khushi. I'm not that idiot to get married to you after I got what I wanted.

Khushi: What do you mean?

Arnav: Do you think I will marry you after I relished you thoroughly? Girl like you are only getting compromised to the thing called marriage. I too did the same to get you on my bed. Not bad, you didn't fail my expectations. Your corporation was really amazing.

Khushi(gulping her tears): Arnavji if this is a prank then please stop it.

Arnav: This is what I liked in you Khushi. Your heart is also so soft like your floral body. I love it so much. Now, I'm going. Bye.

He disconnected the call leaving Khushi in tears. She sat with a thud. Was that really her Arnavji who spoke those things to her? No... it must be a dream. She pinched herself to confirm that she was dreaming. But unfortunately, she felt the pain. She cried her heart out closing her face by her palms. What happen to her Arnavji? Were not his feelings for her true? She saw that in his eyes. It can't be a fake one. Something is surely wrong. What it could be? But what will she say Amma and Buaji about Arnav?

She heard knock on the door. It must be Preeto. She is here to take her to the stage unaware of the truth. What will she do now? She pressed her head not getting anything. The door was being knocked again. She wiped her face and composed herself. She opened the door and shocked seeing smiling Arnav.

Khushi's blood boiled seeing him smiling like nothing happened. She gritted her teeth.

Khushi (wrathfully): Why the hell are you here? Haven't you go to London yet? I don't want to marry you. Get out of here or else I will kill you.

She said panting hard. Arnav face hung hearing her outburst. Khushi was shaken seeing Buaji with angry glare.

Buaji (unbelievably): What is this Nandhkishore? What are you saying? Everyone is waiting for you in the hall and you don't want to marry him? Why Khoosiii?

Arnav: Didn't I tell you Buaji, she would do something like this? but I'm sorry Buaji, I can bear her outburst inside the room but not in front of the crowd because my reputation in the society is very big. I can't let this girl ruin it. I want this marriage to happen at any cost. Please spare me Buaji. I'm sorry to do this.

In a jiffy, he scooped Khushi in his arms making her speechless and Buaji stunned.

Buaji(composing herself): you are right Babuwa. We can't let this mad girl do stupidity just like that. Bring her to the stage.

She started towards the stage.

Arnav(winking): I told you that I will pick you in front of Buaji before our marriage.

Khushi(shocked): was that a drama?

Arnav: Did you really believe? (Khushi turned her gaze somewhere pouting) Crazy girl, there is nothing called life without you. Arnav and Khushi will be together forever. Understood?

Khushi pinched his shoulder as much as strong gritting her teeth.

Arnav: Ahhh.

Buaji: What happened babuwa?

Arnav: She pinched me Buaji. he said making face.

Buaji(hitting Khushi on her forehead): Don't know why this girl turned like a rowdy.

Khushi pouted and Arnav chuckled at her pout. People confused seeing Arnav was carrying Khushi.

Buaji: Raijada Parivar ka riwaaj hai. (this is Raizada family tradition)

Dr. Sara who was standing with Aman looked at him questioningly. Aman blinked at her pressing her shoulder.

Sara: Arnav and Aman are unbelievable. No one could understand what's cooking in their mind.

Arnav made Khushi sit on the stage and he sat beside her. Panditji started chanting hymn. Arnav tied Mangal Sutra and filled her partition. They stood to take pheres. People threw flower petals on them. Aman stood beside Preeto silently who looked emotional.

Aman: Is it necessary to cry for everything?

Preeto: I'm not crying. She said wiping her tears.

Aman: Yah. you are not. I can see that. I know you are feeling sad and I gave you a good solution to be with your friend. Why not you recommend my idea to your father?Preeto(nervously): Excuse me...

She left the place hurriedly. But they didn't know, few pairs of eyes were watching them.

Time to Bidhai.

Khushi cried hugging Garima. Garima struggled to stop her tears.

Garima(looking at Arnav): Arnav beta, please forgive her mistakes. She is a crazy girl, but she understands everything beyond our imagination. Please don't get upset if she does anything wrong. She said emotionally.

Arnav: Khushi is my responsibility from now Aunty. You no need to be worried. I will take care of my WIFE.

Garima overwhelmed hearing WIFE from Arnav.

Garima: I'm so glad beta.

Buaji: Sanka Devi, try to be a good wife and understand your role in his life.

Khushi nodded yes wiping her tears. They got inside the decorated car. Khushi waved her hand towards her Mother and Buaji. The car started to RM. Arnav dragged her close to him and Khushi leaned on his shoulder. Sara was waiting to welcome them. Khushi kicked the rice Kalash and got inside with her colored feet.

Sara: This is time to perform real Raizada ritual.

Khushi looked at her questioningly.

Sara: Arnav, pick her up and take her to your room.

Arnav lifted her smilingly and took her to their room, to the same room where they became one. It was being decorated pleasantly with flowers and scented candles. Arnav put her on the bed and kissed her forehead.

Arnav: you are mine.

Khushi: always.

Arnav: You have no idea, how eagerly I was waiting for this day. I can do anything freely now. he winked.

Khushi: You made me upset. I won't talk to you.

Arnav: What do you think that I will leave you? Pagal, is this you understand me?

Khushi: But why that drama was?

Arnav: We bet. Remember?

Khushi: what do you want me to do? I don't think there is anything left.

Arnav: There is. you should eat sweets.

Khushi: Arnavji..

Arnav: Please Khushi, beyond our bet, do it for me. It really makes me feel bad yaar. I want to give you all the happiness in the world. I know, it's not possible without sweets. Please Khushi. Please.... He pleaded.

Khushi(sighed): I didn't expect that you will feel bad to this extent. I won't do it if you don't happy with that. I will eat sweets. Ok?

Arnav: Thanks. (He pecked her cheek) Go and get changed. There are many things to do.

Khushi: What?

Arnav: Don't you know what will I do on our first night?Khushi punched his chest playfully and went to washroom to get changed

......

Preeto got fresh and came to bed. She sat there thinking something which was disturbing her. Obviously, it was about Aman. That man was always behind her today. Why? She closed her eyes to get some peaceful sleep. But she jerked by the phone call. It was from the same number which Khushi called her that day. She attended it.

Preeto: Hello.. Khushi...

"This is Aman"

Preeto: Aap? Why did you call me at this time? What people will think...

Aman: Preeto please listen to me. I don't care what people think but you. Can't you really understand that why I'm calling you in this time? (Preeto was silent) I don't want to beat around the bush. Let me say it directly. I like you and I would like to marry you. I just want to know whether you like me or not. You don't want to do anything. Just leave it on me. I will come to your father and ask your hand for marriage. Please say YES. please....

Preeto: I can't say YES.(Aman was disappointed) at the same time, I won't say NO if my father ask me to marry you.

Aman huffed in relief.

Aman: He will say. I will make him say. Good night.

He disconnected the call smilingly. He believed that Khushi will help him to fulfill his wish. He decided to talk to Khushi after she comes from GH finishing Pagperah ritual tomorrow.

In Arshi room

Khushi came wearing a simple suit with her hair open. Arnav pulled her and rolled her underneath him, enough of waiting. He wasn't ready to waste a single minute anymore.

Arnav: Past two days were hell to me. It was so hard to wait after knowing the taste of you. What did you say,  "won't you take my name from next time"? Look at me and say that now. (Khushi looked at him bewilder) I got to know every secret of you. I know how to make you whisper, murmur, shrill and scream.

He ran his index finger on her lips. He lowered his finger toward her neck. Khushi clutched his hand breathing hard.

Arnav: Do you know anything about your effect on me? You made me collapse totally. Thank God I got you. ( He pecked her lips lovingly. ) Do you want to sleep? (Before she answered) Say no.

Khushi nodded no.

Arnav: Shall I?
He asked enwinding his fingers with her's.

Khushi (looking at somewhere): What if I say no?

Arnav: I told you already. You have no rights to say that. Because you are mine. I will do whatever and whenever I want.

Khushi: Then why are you wasting time blabbering?

Arnav was dumb founded. Khushi burst out seeing his expression. She cupped his cheek and kissed his forehead. As she initiated, Arnav continued his further action.

It's a great feel, making our "love" as part of our lives. According to Arnav, Khushi became his life when he met her for  the first time. Today, she is in his house, as his wife, underneath him. Though they already became one but it was something to relish with full rights. There was no one to question them. This is their world. Chotisi Dunya. No one is allowed to enter inside. Only Arnav and Khushi will be there. Forever.......
