34 Marry Me
Part 34 Marry ME...
Khushi was looking at Lavanya awfully.
"What can I do when Shyam Bhai asked me to agree to the marriage with all the rituals?" Khushi asked.
"Yes, you can do nothing. This is what my Bhai is... so adamant"
"I don't know where this will lead me," Khushi said.
"Simple... You will become Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada officially if you perform all the rituals. I'm happy about it"
"Happy? What are you talking about, Lavanya?"
"I'm talking the reality Khushi. you will become ASR's wife... ritually and also officially. Get married to him and be with us forever" Lavanya said excitedly.
"No, Lavanya... I just agreed to make everyone happy... that's all"
"This sounds childish, Khushi. Will they be happy if you leave Arnav and this family?" Lavanya asked her million-dollar question.
"I don't know what to do, Lavanya... I didn't expect this family will celebrate me as their bahu in real"
"Then, what's the problem, Khushi? They like you so much and you also respect them. What else other than this needs a family?"
"No Lavanya... Arnavji has a reputation in this society. Who Arnavji is and who am I? This won't work... maybe now... but definitely not in the future"
"Khushi, tell me one thing, do you think, Arnav could not stop this wedding?"
"Could he?" Khushi asked excitedly.
"Of course, he could but he didn't... why?"
Khushi looked at her bewildered.
"He wants this wedding to happen... he wants you to be with him... forever... he likes you Khushi"
Khushi nodded NO.
"He is doing this for you and Aman..." Khushi said stammering.
"In the pretext of us"
"I can't believe he likes me," Khushi said in a feeble tone.
"Don't you know he likes you?"
"I know... I mean... he likes me but not in the mean..."
"Please Marry him, Khushi. I and Aman will also be happy about you... we will be guilt-free" Lavanya said repenting.
"Guilt? But why?"
"Because of us, you are here... risking your life... we made you stay with Arnav in the same room... I know how risky it is for a maiden like you"
"No, Lavanya... I don't have any problem because Arnavji is a gem of a person"
"He is a gem of a person yet you are hesitating to accept him?"
Khushi was silent.
"Will you leave him after marrying him ritually? Will you leave your HUSBAND?"
Khushi swallowed hard. HUSBAND... yes, Arnav will be her husband after the wedding.
"I don't know what to say, Lavanya... I think I should go with the flow"
"Leave everything... just say, what do you feel about Arnav. Don't you like him?"
"I like him... just like, I like GOD. He is a kind of... I respect him a lot, Lavanya. No one could be like him. He is someone no one could get. I feel proud to talk to him, laugh with him, stay with him, that's enough for me. I don't want to be greedy to get him as my husband. He brought brightness to my home children's life. It was my dream. He made it possible. For that, I will be thankful to him... till my last breath... I will do anything for him..."
That's when they heard,
"Then Marry me..."
Khushi and Lavanya looked at the entrance and saw Arnav standing at the doorstep, opening the door. Khushi was stunned, hearing his stance. She bowed down. Arnav looked at Lavanya contently. Understanding his LOOK, she left the room, closing the door.
Arnav came to Khushi.
"You said you are thankful to me... you will do anything for me... then marry me..."
Khushi looked at him raising her head.
"If you are thankful to me, don't think of leaving my house. If you do anything for me, make my family happy, being with them... forever"
Khushi again bowed down with mixed feelings.
"Would you do this for me, Khushi?"
Khushi was hesitating to give words because she know she can't change it if she said yes.
"Get cleared about something, Khushi. Shyam will definitely get us married and I will never let you go if we get married because my reputation is important to me. I can't let my WIFE go..." he made it clear.
"Marry me Khushi..."
She nodded yes, not looking at him. Arnav huffed in relief.
"I will do anything for you, Arnavji..." she said that again.
"Thank God... you didn't force me to misbehave with you" he teased her.
Khushi rolled her eyes.
"Oiii... why are you rolling your eyes? You are going to be my wife. Be ready to get teased"
Khushi sat on the bed, making face.
"What happened?"
"Do you have any idea what you are trying to do?"
"What?"
"I agree; your family will be upset for a few days if they get to know our drama but they will get generated if you get married to someone"
"Someone? Why would I marry to someone when I have you?"
"You will get a good girl than me"
"Oh..."
"You will get a girl from a reputed family..."
"Oh ho..."
"Arnavji... be serious"
"Do you want me to get admitted to the hospital?"
"Why?"
"You asked me to be serious"
Khushi sighed. She understood that Arnav won't listen to her. she laid down on the bed.
"Are you sleepy?"
"No... but I think talking to you is better than sleeping"
"You are not a KUMBKARN to sleep all the time Khushi" he laughed.
{KUMBKARN is a character from the Indian epic RAMAYAN. He sleeps for six months continuously. People in India address the person as KUMBKARN who sleeps a lot}
"Say anything..." She covered herself with a quilt.
"Sleep how much you want... until our wedding"
Khushi pulled the quilt down and glared at him.
"Why are you glaring at me? I just said you will be busy with household work" he said controlling his laughter.
She again covered herself with a quilt.
"I decided something... I'm going to invite your home children to our wedding. What say...?"
Khushi sat on the bed with an excited expression. Arnav smiled at her.
"Will you truly invite them?" she asked unbelievably.
"Of course, yes... why?"
"Many high society people will come to YOUR wedding..."
Cutting her,
"OUR wedding" he corrected.
"Haan... our wedding... what if they taunt you?" she asked hesitatingly.
"No one has guts to taunt ASR..." he said with a dangerous expression.
"Will there be a reception after the wedding?" She asked
"Why? Do you want reception?" he asked raising his brows.
"No... I mean, we can invite children to the wedding and RICH people to the reception. Then there won't be a chance for them to interact..." she put her idea in front of him.
"What's wrong if they meet? Anything should I know?" Arnav asked thoughtfully.
"I agree people won't have guts to taunt you but they may taunt children... that's why..."
"You don't worry about them. I will take care of them..."
Khushi was looking at him like, how will you take care of them? Arnav touched her head smilingly.
"Leave it on me, Khushi... ok?"
She nodded ok with a plastered smile.
Arnav was about to go to the washroom, she stopped him.
"Arnavji..."
Arnav plainly looked at her.
"Thank you... for EVERYTHING..." she said controlling her emotions.
As she didn't expect, Arnav took a quick step and reached her making her flinch back with a horrified expression. Arnav tapped her nose.
"You are welcome," he said controlling his smile.
Khushi huffed in relief.
"You said you will do ANYTHING for me... then why are you getting scared if I come close to you?" he asked huskily.
Khushi looked at him gulping down. What does he mean? Of course, she will do anything... but this?
"Don't raid your imaginary chariot faster... we will discuss it after our marriage... ok?" he said making his voice huskier, which churned Khushi's stomach.
Khushi was looking at Arnav who walked to the washroom all smilingly.
