Part 59 Last Part

Khushi hurried out of their room getting fully ready. She didn't notice Arnav entering the room, at the same time and collided with him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She was about to rush again, but Arnav stopped her, gripping her hand.

"Arnav, leave me a hand. I'm busy like hell..." She said freaking.

"Yeah, I have been seeing you since Akash and Payal's marriage was fixed. You don't even have time to talk to your husband in the process of making wedding arrangements" he said plainly.

"Mr. Rowdy, instead of being cheesy, go and plan some gang elimination... (she paused for a while) after Jeeji's marriage..."

"I will think about it later. Answer my question first" he folded his hands.

"What question?" she questioned.

"Do you have interest in me?" he asked.

Khushi was taken aback.

"I won't answer this question" she looked somewhere.

"Why?"

"Because you know the answer"

"I don't know"

"What happened to you?" she frowned.

"What happened to YOU (He stressed) Khushi? You are dazzling like a pole star in this red saree with diamond jewelry. But you didn't even show interest to get appreciation from me...and running leaving me behind"

"Arnav, if you want to appreciate me... you can do that. If you don't do that, it's not my problem"

"If you are running here and there without giving me a single minute, then how could I even appreciate you?"

"You can do it after the wedding. I will be free then. Will give you a lot of time. Now, let me go"

"Let's see... I don't know what I will do if you sleep earlier like yesterday"

"I was tired yesterday" she pouted.

"Tonight also you will sleep earlier because you will be tired... I bet"

Khushi sighed.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing... go to you sister and jeejaji..." he turned opposite to her.

Khushi rolled her eyes. She came in front of him. Again Arnav turned opposite to her. She again came in front of him. He was supposed to turn again, she clutched his collar and stopped him from doing that.

"Why are you upset with me?"

"So what if I'm upset with you? Will you even mind about it?" he asked heated up.

"Won't I?"

"No... you became a sister sick puppy"

Khushi dropped her jaw.

"Sister sick puppy? Like really?"

"Yes, that's why you are roaming behind your sister all the time, forgetting your husband"

"My God... Arnav, please behave like a Don..."

"Oh, shut up, Khushi. No one could be a DON all the time because Dons also would have sentiments and emotions"

Khushi was surprised.

"Arnav, relax... what happened to you? Why are you looking emotional?"

Arnav was silent.

"What's disturbing you, Arnav?"

"I had a big hope for my brothers but Dhruv left the world long ago and Akash is going to leave India in a few days. Yet, I consoled myself because I have you. But, you are not giving heed to me at all..."

Khushi felt bad for Arnav. She became busy with wedding arrangements. In that, she didn't give her time to Arnav but she didn't know he would take it seriously.

She came in front of him and started doing squats, clutching her ears, making a face.

"I'm sorry..." she said pouting.

Arnav folded his hands, looking at her plainly.

"I'm sorryyyyy..."

"Be like a rowdy... this avatar doesn't suit you" Arnav said.

"No one could be a Rowdy all the time because Rowdies also would have sentiments and emotions" she repeated what he just said.

Arnav held her hands and stopped her.

"Could you sense, you are getting sensitive?" she asked.

"I always have been... I just am showing up it out unlike before"

She hugged him, pouting.

"Khushi, don't take me lightly," he said hugging her.

"I never took you lightly, Arnav because you are my life"

Arnav gulped down hard.

"I'm not spending my time with you because I don't want you to think, I'm stopping you from doing your duty. I was scared that you may think that, I'm trying to pull you into the circle called family. I don't want to be the hurdle to your service. I really don't want to tie you with sentiments. That's why I pretend to be distant from you but trust me, I'm always close to you from my heart"

"Be yourself... I love what you are and you can't change who I'm. Our feelings for one another will never change. I'm a Don... not for you but for the world. You are my Rowdy Baby. So, be it... ok?"

She nodded ok.

"Let's go... we are getting late"

She nodded ok again.

They walked out. Khushi went to Payal's room whereas Arnav went to Akash's room.

"Wow... Jeeji, you are looking like an angel" Khushi hugged Payal.

"You are also looking so gorgeous, Khushi. Arnavji is going to faint, seeing you"

"Yeah, he fainted but also fought with me" she murmured.

"What did you say?"

"Yes, he will faint. That's why I didn't go in front of him" she chuckled.

"But, you can't be hidden for the whole day. You should have shown up to him when you are taking me to the stage"

"We will see that later. Now, let's go... Akash Jeejaji will be waiting for you"

Khushi took Patyal to the stage where Akash was already waiting. He wore a smile, seeing Payal. Khushi made her sit next to him. The Pandit forwarded him the Mangal Sutra. Taking it from him, he tied it around Payal's neck. He kept a pinch of vermillion on her forehead. They circled the holy fire seven times and completed the rituals. The Pandit declared them husband and wife.

Khushi dropped Payal in Akash's room which was being decorated.

"All the best Jeeji..." she winked.

"Shut up... you, naughty..." Payal hit her shoulder.

Khushi left the room smiling. She came to Arnav.

"Jeejaji can go now," she said. Arnav nodded ok and headed to NK's room.

NK's room

Akash was waiting in NK's room all nervous.

"Akash... why are you so nervous?" NK asked, munching chips.

"Because this is my first time" Akash blabbered.

NK flinched.

"What the... you are talking as if others go for training before their first night" he mocked.

"Shh... don't make me more nervous" he gulped the glass of water.

"I don't think, even Payal Bhabi would be nervous like you" NK teased.

"She is a woman after all..." Akash wiped his sweaty face.

NK laughed.

"Akash... you are blabbering a lot... I think we should postpone your first night"

"Whaaat? Go to hell"

Akash saw Arnav coming.

"Akash..." Arnav called him, standing at his doorstep.

"Bhai?"

"Go to your room"

Akash nodded ok gulping.

"Whaaat? Go"

"Yes, Bhai"

"Nannav... Akash wants time to get prepared for the first night. So he asked to postpone his first night"

"No no... no Bhai, he is lying"

"Okkkkayyy. Why are you shouting? Payal is waiting for you. So, we won't change it. Go..."

"I'm... I'm going" he went out.

"I don't know what's going to happen," NK said looking up.

Arnav controlled his smile and walked off. He came to his room and found Khushi sitting on the bed without changing her saree.

"Have not you changed yet?" Arnav asked.

"Will change after having diner"

Arnav knew why she didn't want to change. She was giving him a chance to flatter her. He smiled as she looked so tired but tried not to show up. Arnav clutched her hand and lifted her.

"Go and get changed first"

"No, Arnav"

Arnav showed his mobile in which he captured her photo. Khushi got stuck for a few seconds and smiled.

"I already captured your photo. So, go and change"

"We will eat first..."

"You are tired. Go and get fresh first. We will talk tomorrow"

"That's ok, Arnav"

Cutting her,

"Go, Khushi" he sent her to the washroom.

He changed his suit in the room. Khushi came out of the washroom and saw a dinner plate being kept.

"Are you going to eat in the dining hall?"

"No... I'm going to eat with you"

Khushi sat in front of him smilingly. She was about to take a morsel, but Arnav forwarded a morsel towards her mouth. Khushi was surprised and had it. Arnav fed her a few morsels, noticing her face. As he expected, he saw her eyes closing slowly. Keeping the plate on the table, Arnav made her lean on the couch. Within a few seconds, Khushi dozed off. Arnav started eating smilingly. he knew she was tired. Yet, she tried to be UP to spend time with him. After finishing eating, he shifted her to the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Lying next to her, he hugged her gently. Without disturbing her sleep, he kissed her cheek. Though he was a Don he had many expectations with Khushi as Arnav. When it came to Khushi Arnav Didn't care about anything but fulfilled her wishes. When it came to Arnav, Khushi left everything behind and concentrated on him.

Apart from everything, he was just Arnav for Khushi and she was just Khushi for Arnav. That was what moved their life smoothly.
