35 Temple Meeting
Part 35 Temple Meeting
Arnav realised Khushi had come out of the stress.
"Yeah, I do remember what you said. We will discuss it later. Now, go and get ready." He said, looking at his watch seriously.
Khushi went to her room to get ready. She took off her clothes and was supposed to go to the washroom, but she stopped to answer her ringing phone. She smiled seeing Arvind's name. She attended the call.
"Uncle... how are you, Uncle?'
"I'm doing good and eager to meet you."
"We will surely meet if you come to Dehradun..."
"I'm in Dehradun only."
"Oh, wow... really?"
"Yes,"
"Doesn't Arnav know about it?"
"I haven't told him yet. I'm telling you first because Arnav will not take time to get ready, unlike you. he will get ready in two minutes..." he laughed.
Khushi dropped her jaw.
"Where are you, uncle?"
"In Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple... I have joined a team and came here with them. If you come here, I will call Arnav."
"I will surely come, uncle."
"I'm going to a Pooja now. it will take an hour. So, you can take one hour to get ready."
"Sure, Uncle. And Arnav is here only..."
"Is it?"
"Yeah, he is outside. I came to take a bath..."
"Oh, ok, you carry on. I will call him. If you both come here, I will be happy."
"We will come, uncle."
"Thank you. I will be waiting."
"Wait, Uncle. I will give the phone to Arnav."
She came out and extended her phone to Arnav.
"Uncle is on the live."
Arnav raised his brows and took the phone.
"Hello, Papa..."
"Chotte, bring Khushi to Tapkeshwar temple."
"Tapkeshwar temple? Are you in Dehradun?"
"Yes,"
"When did you come?"
"Early morning... I would like to see you and Khushi..."
"You can come home..."
"I have joined a new pilgrimage team. We are going to visit all the Shiv Temples in India. Before starting, I want to see you."
"Ok... we will come..." Arnav sighed.
"Come after an hour. I'm going for a Pooja."
"Ok, Papa..."
Arvind disconnected the call. Arnav looked at Khushi.
"Get ready, before going home, we will meet my father."
She nodded ok and rushed to the washroom. Taking a quick bath, she came out. She searched for a nice, decent dress as she was going to a temple to meet her father-in-law. She saw the saree gifted by Arnav on her birthday. She took it smilingly and draped it. She came out and saw Arnav loading her bags into the car. He came inside and got stuck, seeing her in a saree.
"Why saree?"
"I'm going to meet my father-in-law after all..." She flaunted.
"I thought something..."
"What did you think?" Khushi frowned.
"Leave it..."
She blocked his way, spreading her hands.
"Tell me..."
"I thought you had started seducing me..." he said in a husky voice.
Khushi was taken aback. She looked here and there as Arnav smiled, gazing at her. She was stunned, seeing such a gaze and smile.
"Let's go..." She said she tried to leave the place.
"Let's have something, first...I'm hungry," he sat at the dining table.
Maria came with her breakfast and kept it on the table, and served him. Khushi also started eating silently.
They headed to the temple after finishing breakfast. Arvind was waiting for them in the temple. He smiled at Khushi, who was in a saree.
"My daughter-in-law looks so pretty in a saree..." he smiled.
"How are you, Papa?" Arnav asked smilingly.
"Happy seeing you both...are you ready?" he asked.
Arnav nodded. Khushi looked at him with confusion. For what was he ready?
"Let's go..."
They went to the temple and worshipped God. Khushi saw their college Principal there with someone. She looked at Arnav, who smiled at the Principal and shook hands with him.
"Thank you for coming, sir..." he said.
"It's my pleasure..."
Khushi frowned as she didn't understand what was happening. She widened her eyes as Maria and Bheem were also coming.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"Arnav sir, called us..."
"Why, Arnie?"
"Come..." he extended his hand.
Khushi clutched his hand. Arnav took her to the hall next to the sanctum. She saw a small dais being arranged, and a pandit was making arrangements there. Arnav took her to the dais and gestured for her to sit. Khushi looked at him shockingly. Were they going to get married?
"Sit..." he said.
Khushi looked at Arvind, who blinked his eyes smilingly.
Arnav sat down and pulled her hand slightly. Khushi sat next to him with a thudding heartbeat. She was going to marry Arnav. That was their wedding day. He said he would find a permanent solution to her problems. Was this what he talked about? OF course, marriage would be the solution to all their problem. She could not believe she was sitting on the stage to marry Arnav. Did his father come to Dehradun to attend their wedding, or was it a coincidence? It was just a night he had. Did he decide in a night to marry her? So quickly? She gulped down hard.
As she was thinking all these things, he tied a mangal sutra around her neck and filled her patrician. Arnav stood up and pulled her hand up to take pharas. She circled the holy fire with Arnav. After three rounds, he gave her space to take the lead. She circled the fire in the dream world. They took blessings from Arvind by touching his feet.
The man, accompanied by the Principal, asked them to sign the marriage application. Khushi understood he was a registrar. Arnav signed it and passed the pen to Khsuhvi. She took the pen and signed with disbelief.
"Today is Sunday. I will register your wedding tomorrow." The man said.
"Thank you for coming, sir," Arnav said.
"I came here for the Principal, sir." The registrar said.
Arnav smiled at the Principal, thankfully. He left the place with the principal.
"Did you come here for our marriage?" She asked Arvind.
"Yes... he asked me to come here for his wedding. How could I miss seeing my son's wedding?" He smiled.
"Why did you lie that you came here with the pilgrim team?"
"My son strictly restricted not to tell you the truth..."
"What an acting...!" She pouted and looked at Marian and Bheen, who were trying to suppress a smile.
"You too...?"
"We were happy as hell hearing your wedding news... because this is what we wanted," Maria said, and Bheem nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked Arnav.
"Will tell you the reason later... ok?"
Khushi became thoughtful.
"Ok, guys, I'm leaving..." Arvind said.
"What's so urgent? Won't you be with us?" Khushi asked.
"No, beta, the pilgrims' team is waiting for me. I should join them."
Khushi looked at him suspiciously.
"Trust me. it's true..."
"When will you come again?"
"I don't know, beta..."
Khushi sighed.
They sent him off. Khushi headed home with Arnav. He instructed Maria and Bheem on something before leaving.
Khushi looked at Arnav, who was driving the car. He smiled at her.
"Why didn't you tell me about our wedding arrangements?"
"Then, how could I make the little Goblin dumbfounded?" he asked, chuckling.
She pouted.
"I know I will never get such a chance again to your motionless face. That's why I didn't tell you."
Khushi became silent. She hadn't come out of the shock yet. She still did not believe their wedding.
Arnav saw her silent and thinking deeply.
"What happened?"
She nodded no. They came home. Arnav went to the kitchen to cook. Khushi felt a kind of nervousness. She was Arnav's wife. The sudden wedding made her thunderstruck.
Arnav cooked lunch and brought it to the table. He didn't want to order outside food. As it was their wedding day, he wanted to feed Khushi homemade food. He saw Khushi biting her nails, nervously. He tapped her shoulder. She looked at him, jerking. He raised his brows questioningly. She nodded no, hurriedly.
"Let's have lunch..." he said, and then he served her, sitting with her.
He smiled inwardly, seeing her eating silently, not looking at him. He expected her to be speechless, but not to this extent.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
She nodded.
"I wanted to tell you to wear a saree this morning, but you didn't give me a chance to do that..." he said.
She smiled awkwardly.
"Thank God, you didn't wear jeans as always...if you had worn that, you would be the only bride who got married in jeans..." he laughed.
Khushi chuckled.
She washed her hands and tried to sit at the dining chair. Arnav restricted her from doing that. She looked at him, perplexed.
"Why are you looking tense?" he asked.
She sighed.
"You said you would seduce me if you were close to me?" He asked seriously, making her stun.
