17 NK + NK
Part 17 NK + NK
Aman was nervous, seeing Ratna's number flashing on his mobile. Why she is calling this late at night? He attended the call.
"Mom... is anything serious?"
"Yes, Aman beta... it's very serious..." She said controlling her laughter.
"What happened, Mom?"
"Chotte agreed to the marriage..."
Aman couldn't believe what he just heard is true.
"Whaaaat! Come again..."
"He said yes to the marriage..."
"Woooo hoooo" he hoped happily.
"We are going to Gupta House tomorrow to ask for Khushi's hand... you too join us..."
"Sure...I will surely come..."
"We are going to the Airport to receive Mano and her family."
"Have you invited them for the marriage?"
"No beta, Nanne is going to attend an interview. So they decided to come to Delhi to meet me"
"Ohh...They are going to hit two birds in a stone..."
"Yeah..."
"What is the Groom doing?"
"He is in his room... may be sleeping..."
"I bet... he would not have slept..." he laughed so did Ratna.
They disconnected the call.
Aman was right. Arnav had not slept yet and staring at the celling. He frowned, hearing a knock on his room door. He opened the door. In no time, Aman hugged him tightly.
"Congratulations ASR.... I'm damn happy..."
Arnav smiled mildly, staying in his hug. His facial expression changed into stern when Aman broke the hug.
"Khushi is so lucky to have you as her husband, ASR"
Arnav so wanted to say, "I'm the luckiest person to have her in my life"
"I'm going to GH with Mom and Dad tomorrow."
Arnav nodded yes.
"Do you want to see LIVE program?"
Arnav looked at him surprisingly.
"I will call you through video call..."
"No need..."
"ASR......" He sighed.
"Go home and sleep..."
"I will go after meeting NK..."
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Don't get annoyed about him... he is kind of a stress buster yaar..."
"Whatever... let me sleep..."
"Wait until he comes...then go to sleep..."
"They will be late..."
At the same time, they heard a few footsteps. Aman laughed at him and Arnav rolled his eyes.
"Let's go..." Aman dragged him downstairs.
Aman rushed to NK and hugged him.
"How are you, buddy...?"
"I'm doing great..." NK said.
Arnav smiled at Manorama. In no time, she hugged him and cried.
"Arnav, bituwa..."
Arnav tightened his jaws. This is what he doesn't like. Manorama was always special to him so was him to Manorama. She cupped his face.
"Hope you are fine..."
Arnav nodded yes.
"How about you?" he asked softly.
"I'm fine..."
"You don't have to ask about her but us... you have no idea how dominating she can be..." Manoher laughed.
Manorama glared at him.
"This is how she controls us by the LOOK." NK said.
"How are you Nannav?" NK asked.
Arnav nodded OK.
"When is Akash coming from Singapore?" Aman asked.
"He will be in India before the marriage..." NK said.
"Ok, guys, go and sleep. We have to go to Gupta house tomorrow morning." Arvind said.
"That's not a big deal Dad... we will be ready at the right time." NK said.
"No, Nanne. Aman has to go to his house..."
"Aman is going to stay here tonight. He will go home tomorrow morning.... Ok Aman?" NK asked.
Aman raised his eyebrows, pressing his lips.
"Say yes yaar..."
"Ok..."
"Will Raveena come with us tomorrow?" Manorama asked.
Ratna nodded NO.
"I have not told her anything about the marriage yet..."
Manorama didn't' ask WHY? because she knew Raveena's nature.
"Yeah... it will be better to keep her little away..." NK said in a feeble tone only Aman to here. Aman nodded yes.
"Mom, I'm going to my room. a lot of work is there in the office." Arnav said.
"When is your interview?" Arvind asked NK.
"Day after tomorrow..."
"Why are you going for another company when AR is there? Why not you join AR?"
NK looked at Aman whereas Arnav was in trauma. This idiot in AR...?
"It will be fun to have you in AR..." Aman laughed so did others.
"Ok, Dad... I will join AR to make fun..."
Arnav rolled his eyes irritatingly.
"Good night all of you..." He left to his room.
"We are also going... Let's go Aman" NK went to the guest room with Aman.
Manorama went to another room with Ratna.
"I'm so glad that Arnav bituwa agreed to the marriage. (she paused for a while) Jeeji, did you inquire about the bride well?"
Ratna understood why she asked so.
"We did... Aman appointed a detective agent to know about Khushi thoroughly."
"That's a great job... Did she agree to the marriage or...?"
"She is very much interested... Shashi bhai's daughter she is..."
"Ohh... really?"
"Yes..."
Manorama shrank her eyes. Is not something missing?
"What are you thinking?"
Manorama nodded NO.
"What is she doing?"
"She just finished graduation..."
"That means, she should be nine to ten years younger than Arnav bituwa..."
"Yes... ten years..."
"Yet, she is interested in this marriage?"
"She respects her father a lot..."
"Let's meet her tomorrow..."
Ratna nodded ok and left the room.
The next day
All of them are ready to go to GH. Ratna finished packing gifts with the help of Manorama and NK. Aman went to his house to get ready. He doesn't want to be late to go to GH.
Having breakfast, Arnav went to AR. And rest of them started to GH.
GH
Shashi and Garima welcomed them pleasantly. Khushi's brother Nandkishor also there with them.
NK who entered last stood in front of Nandkishor.
"Hi..." he extended his hand for a shake.
Nandkishore clutched his hand.
"Nandkishor..." NK said.
"Yeah...Nandkishore..." Khushi's brother said.
"Your good name...?"
"Nandkishore..."
"I'm asking your name..."
"Nandkishor...."
"Of course, What's your name?"
"My name is Nandkishor..." Khushi's brother said.
"Whaaaat...! Really? My name is also Nandkishor..."
"Ohh.... Nice to meet you..."
{From here on, to avoid confusion, I will mention Arnav's brother as ANK and Khushi's brother as KNK}
They shook hands.
Shashi asked them to take seats. Manorama was suffocating to see the bride who is interested. When Khushi came out, Manorama went speechless, seeing Khushi.
Aman called Arnav through Whatsapp video call. Arnav attended it and was about to talk, he was tongue-tied, seeing Khushi. Aman was keeping the phone, casually, folding his hands. Usually, Khushi looks beautiful... today, she looked more beautiful. She greeted everyone, joining her hands. Ratna asked her to sit next to her. Khushi sat in between Ratna and Manorama. Manorama was reading Khushi face.
Ratna and Manorama gave Shagun to Khushi. Arvind and Shashi were watching the ritual smilingly. They felt relief as the rituals started without any problem.
"Hello, Khushiji, I'm Nandkishore... your going to be brother-in-law..." he introduced himself.
Khushi looked at her brother wondering.
"Yeah, mine and your brother's name are the same... you can call me NK..."
"I too am called NK" KNK said.
"Then you can call me Nanne... my mother calls me so"
"She calls me in that name only..." KNK said.
Ratna chuckled.
"Khushi beta, call him Devar...simple"
"Yeah... so simple..."ANK said.
Khushi smiled nodding yes and her smile made someone also smile who is watching a LIVE telecast.

Doubt
Arnav mesmerized, seeing Khushi's smiling face. There is no flaw in her face or in her smile. He can't believe a girl is ready to marry him even after knowing everything about him. For more surprise, she got to know everything from none other than her father. Within a few days, she will become his wife. He was thinking so deeply, looking at her. He jerked when Aman grinned, looking at him, turning the phone to his side. Arnav rolled his eyes.
