36 Again nervous
Part 36 Again nervous
"You said you would seduce me if you were close to me?" Arnav asked seriously, making her stun.
Khushi looked at him. There was no expression on his face, just a plain one. Was he teasing her, or was there something else behind it? She could not understand.
"I thought you would start singing and dancing for BHITAR BHITAR AAG JALE... and try to seduce me..." he said with a rigid expression.
Khushi gulped.
"You look completely unusual today... what happened to you?" he asked, keeping his hands in his pocket.
Khushi sighed.
"I didn't expect this..." She pouted.
"Whaaat didn't... you... expect?"
"Our wedding..."
"Oh..." he raised his brows.
"I didn't know you would make a quick decision and that decision would be our marriage." She said restlessly.
"Didn't I say, I will find a PERMANENT solution?"
"Haan... you did, but I didn't know it would be our marriage. I can't believe we got married. I can't believe you are my husband... I really can't believe you accepted me as your wife... I really..."
Cutting her off,
"You can't believe you are at my house, you can't believe you are talking to me, you can't believe I cooked for you... now you are standing before me... etc., etc., right?"
Khushi again sighed.
"Enough of your CAN'T BELIEVEs..." he chuckled.
"I would have been prepared myself if you had told me your decision to marry me. You came to my house this morning and asked me to get ready to come to your place. I didn't even believe your decision on that. In addition, you took me to the temple, made me sit beside you, and then you married me by tying the mangal sutra and filling my partician..."
"You have left one important thing..."
"What?"
"We took pharas too... You have forgotten that," He said, smiling.
"Arnie, I like surprises, but this seems to stop my heart..."
Arnav rolled his eyes, smiling.
"You know what? Our marriage was like a never-come-true dream to me. I thought you would be rigid even after our marriage. I never expected you would give me a surprise because I thought it was not your cup of tea..."
"What do you want me to do to make you believe our wedding? I'm your husband, and you are my wife. I don't know what to do, if you don't believe it even after my father attended our wedding..."
"That's also the reason... if he hadn't called me and told me he wanted to meet me, I might have doubted you when you took me to the temple..."
Arnav smiled. Didn't he know that? That was why he wanted his father to call her to the temple.
"Because of Uncle, I was completely at a loss. I blankly followed his words and came to the temple to meet him. But who knows you and he planned our surprise wedding?"
"Ok, if you don't believe our marriage, let it be. Now, come and arrange your things..."
Clutching her hand, he pulled her to his room.
Though Khushi had visited his house already, she hadn't entered his room before. She stood, her eyes running over the room with a mild smile.
"I have set the space for your things in the closet. Your bags are here. Arrange your things in the closet..." he said.
Khushi nodded. Arnav left the place. Khushi sat on the bed quietly, biting her lip, and slowly closed her eyes. She was at Arnav's house, on his bed. She was not just his student, but his WIFE now. He would be with her forever. He would never leave her. He became everything to her. Her happiness, sadness, struggles, fights, and everything would include him in her life from here on.
Her facial expression changed. She smiled brightly. She jumped to her feet. She spread her saree pallu and hopped happily, laughing like an idiot. She looked at her image in the mirror. She advanced the mirror.
"You are Mrs Arnav now, Khushi...! You are at Arnav's house... no no... this is your house now. Your life changed upside down, damn it...!" She climbed on the bed and hopped, clapping and laughing.
She didn't know what to do or how to make the most of the most precious day of her life.
"I'm the Queen of the world..." She said and looked at the entrance of the room. She saw Arnav looking at her, leaning on the door, folding his hands with a smile.
She got down hurriedly and stood looking down.
"It seems you are back to the form..." he smiled.
She gave him a sidelong glance.
"That's good... continue..." he left the place smiling.
Khushi chuckled and fell on the bed. She pulled the pillow and hugged it tight. She pulled the pillow a little back and looked at it. Then she inhaled its smell deeply.
"Hey, pillow, don't fly so high that you were holding my Arnie's head on you so far... It doesn't mean you are superior to me in his life." She looked at the entrance and whispered,
"From here on, I'm going to take your place..." She again hugged the pillow like a crazy girl and smiled.
She went to the closet and opened it. She saw Arnav's clothes being arranged on one side. She pulled his shirt and wore it over her saree. Again she looked her image in the mirror. She hugged herself and kissed his shirt cuff. Without removing the shirt, she started arranging her things in the closet. She made sure Arnav didn't come to the room. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. She removed his shirt and threw it in the closet. Then she continued her work, neatening her saree.
"Have you finished the work?"
She nodded.
"Good. I think we should file a case against Vishvesh Sharma strongly, mentioning all the troubles he caused..."
"Is it necessary?"
"Yes... he is a lawyer after all... I expect he will come out of the prison on Monday itself." He guessed.
Khushi nodded yes affirmatively. She too thought the same. That was what made her frighten. Vishvesh was a powerful person with political support. He next step might be so strong and unpredictable.
"I'm going to meet a lawyer. Will call you if he asks for any details."
She nodded ok.
"I have finished preparing dinner too. We will eat after I come meeting with the lawyer..."
"Ok..."
"Don't wait for me if you are hungry. You eat."
"Will you be late?"
"I have no idea. Don't know how long it takes for the lawyer."
"Then, you can go tomorrow. Why so urgent?"
"Today is Sunday. If we provide the lawyer with sufficient details, he will file a case in court tomorrow. We can't delay..."
"Mmm..."
"Ok..."
"I will try to come soon."
She nodded.
"I need your signature..."
She nodded.
"The lawyer may need it..."
Taking a plain paper from the table, she signed at the bottom of the paper. Arnav looked at her stunningly.
"Khushi, you are the heir of a thousand crore worth of property. How could you sign like this in a plain paper?"
"Take the property if you want..." She smiled.
"Don't be stupid..."
"You ask for my signature. What's there to think?"
"What if somebody hit me and took the paper from me?"
"Snatching the paper from you is next to impossible..."
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, you usually hit people black and blue... then, what will you do if they try to take the paper?"
Arnav stood gazing at her sharply. She smiled.
"Whaaaat?"
"Don't do this again. Ok?"
She nodded.
Arnav walked out and Khushi followed him. She saw Bheem and Maria there.
"When did you guys come?"
"Just now... Arnav sir said he would go to meet the lawyer, and you would be alone at home. That's why he called us here. Until he returns, we will be here."
She smiled brightly and nodded ok.
"Khushi, if the lawyer needs to meet you, I will take you tomorrow."
"Ok..."
Arnav left the house.
"We are so happy about you, Madam," Maria said.
"I know..."
"I'm glad Arnav, sir, is carefully securing you because we don't know what Vishvesh will do."
Khushi nodded yes.
After two hours, Arnav came home and saw Maria serving Khushi tea. She had changed the saree and was wearing casual pants and a top.
"Arnie, come and have tea..." Khushi extended her cup to him.
"You have, I will prepare later..."
"Sir, I prepared an extra cup. I will bring it for you." Maria said.
"Bring it for me." Khushi handed her cup to Arnav.
He took it and sipped.
"You said you would be late..."
"Yeah, but the lawyer caught my point and made my work easier."
"That's great..."
Having tea, Maria stood up.
"We are leaving..."
Khushi nodded. Bheem and Maria left the house.
"What did the lawyer say?" Khushi asked.
"He said he will do the needed arrangements."
"I don't know where this problem will take us."
"It will take us to the place where we should be..."
She sighed.
"By the way, what about tomorrow?" She asked.
"Tomorrow means?"
"Will we go to college tomorrow?"
"Yeah, we will."
"If you feel awkward, I will stay at home until your resignation."
"No need. The Principal attended our wedding, and he saw my father's presence too. I think he won't create the scene."
"I'm going to hide the mangal sutra until you are in college. I'm not going to tell anyone that we are husband and wife."
"I think it's not necessary."
"Why so?"
"We got married. Then what's there to hide? We didn't do anything illegal..."
Khushi wondered.
"But you don't want your reputation to be ruined. Right?"
"It doesn't mean I can be unfair to you. You are my wife, and I should do anything with justification."
"But you didn't ask me to hide the mangal sutra. It's my idea, and I have no problem doing that. You are my husband. It's enough for me."
"Are you sure? Don't you have a problem in hiding our marriage?"
"No... I wanted to marry you for myself... not for others. I know you are my husband. That's enough."
They talked randomly for a while.
"Let's have dinner," Arnav said.
She nodded and went to the kitchen, bringing out the dishes.
"From tomorrow, I will cook." She said, taking her seat.
"Why? Don't you like my cooking?"
"I like your cooking. I want you to eat my handmade food. That's why..."
"Then we will share work. I don't want you to cook alone...after all, you are a Royal heir..."
"It does nothing with you. You don't have to see me like that. I'm your wife... that's all."
"I didn't know the little Goblin would have many good qualities in it." Arnav smiled.
Khushi chuckled.
After having dinner, Arnav locked the main gate and the door. Switching the lights off. He went to his room. Khushi observed his doings.
From the morning, she was nervous. Then she came back to the form. But now, again, she felt nervous as she was going to their room. She would sleep with Arnav in the same bed. It was their first night after all...! Her heart started drumming. That gave her pain. She stood, lost in thought, with a shiver. Arnav peeped from the room and asked,
"What are you doing there in the dark?" he asked.
Seeing him in the casuals, she understood that he had changed. She headed to their room.
Arnav took the right-hand side. Khushi slowly sat on the other side of the bed and lay.
"Is anyone going to lie between us?" He asked. Khushi looked at him and then at the gap between them. Pulling his pillow towards her, he moved to her.
Khushi, who didn't expect that, moved backwards. Arnav held her hip and pulled her towards him, restricting her from falling down, making her eyes wide. She looked at him, perplexed.
"Whaaat?"
She nodded no.
"Are you scared?"
She nodded no, hurriedly.
"Good..." he pulled her closer towards him, making her heartbeat loud.
To be continued...
