59 Wedding Fixed
Part 59 Wedding Fixed
Arnav saw Khushi in deep thought. He raised his brows. Arvind also noticed it.
"What happened, Bahu? You looked confused..."
"Arnavji is not legally eligible for the marriage..."
Arvind and Arnav looked at each other.
"Yeah, six months are left for him to become eligible to get married."
"Won't it become a problem if we get married before that?" Khushi asked.
"Yes, but we will do your marriage in between our families. We will register it after six months."
Now, Arnav was also confused. Why was his father hurrying?
"Papa, we will continue practising in India for six months. After that, we will get married and go abroad."
"Of course, I, too, tell the same. After your wedding is declared legally, you can go abroad."
"But, why so urgent, Papa?"
Arvind looked restless.
"Is anything wrong?" Arnav asked.
Arvind nodded yes.
"Lalith challenged me. He will not let this wedding happen... I know him. He will do anything to stop your wedding. Now he is in prison. He will definitely try to get out of the case. Before he comes out, I want your wedding to happen," Arvind said.
"If that's the case, we should not do it, uncle, because he will use it in his favour and file a case against us," Khushi said.
"Khushi is right... we should think about it," Arnav said.
Shashi came forward.
"Why are you guys unwantedly getting tensed? You think I will not send Khushi with you to a foreign country, right? Nothing is like that. I have no problem with you taking her abroad. I trust you." Shashi said, and Arvind sighed.
"Thank you so much, Shashiji. That's enough because I will send them to a foreign country and keep it a secret. So they will be safe. No one will know where they will be..."
Arnav frowned. Why was his father planning to this extent? Did Lalith plan to harm them?
"I will fix a date for their engagement. Then, we will send them for practice," Arvind said.
Shashi nodded.
"I will let you know the date. I'm leaving now," Arvind said.
"Papa..." Khushi called him.
"Tell me, beta"
"When you come next time, bring Radha Ma also,"
Arvind looked at Arnav, who didn't take his eyes off Khushi, but his face was calm. Arvind smiled and said nothing.
"Bye..." Arvind left GH.
"I, too, am leaving", Arnav said.
Khushi looked at Shashi.
"Have something, Damadji", Shashi said smilingly, which made Arnav smile.
"It's ok, uncle."
"When your in-laws want you to eat with them, you should consider Arnavji", Khushi said.
Arnav nodded ok.
"Prepare something simple, aunty."
"Ok"
Though Garima said okay, she prepared a good lunch. How could she serve a simple lunch to their going to be Damad?
Arnav had lunch with Guptas and left. Khushi was happy as Arnav said nothing about inviting Radha to GH.
After three days, the scorpion man regained consciousness. The police informed Arvind. He made arrangements to tighten the security in the hospital and asked the police to obtain his statement. The police did that without a delay, and they succeeded, too.
The scorpion man said Lalith and Sheetal were behind the ploy. The police recorded the video and submitted it to the court. Lalith and Sheetal were kept in prison in REMAND for fifteen days. Arvind made sure that Lalith could not come out of the case.
As Arvind said, he fixed the engagement date. Arvind arranged it grandly. Arvind asked Arnav to choose Khushi's lehanga, but Arnav didn't want to snatch the right from Khushi. So, he took her shopping and asked her to do it. Khushi gladly did that.
Engagement day
Arnav and Khushi's friends occupied the hall. Their principal and professors attended the engagement without fail.
"From here on, you guys can do practice together. No one will talk about you," PI said.
"Did anyone talk about us before?" Arnav asked.
"Leave it, Arnav... it's all common in our country. What do people know about the sportsmen's struggle?"
Arnav and Khushi looked at each other.
"Thank you, sir", Arnav smiled.
"I think this is why Papa hurried," Khushi said.
"Mmm..."
They saw Radha coming. Arnav switched his gaze somewhere.
"I invited her..." Khushi said.
Arnav nodded. Khushi went to Radha and greeted her.
"Hello, Maji..."
"I came only because you invited me... you go. Arnav may get angry."
"He won't. He knew I invited you."
"Didn't he say anything?"
"No,"
"I think he is silent because of you."
"Let it be anything; you are here. I'm happy about it."
"I'm also happy about it. Actually, Arvind has no idea to bring me here. I'm here because of you."
"It's my pleasure, Maji"
"You go... we will talk later."
Khushi nodded and went to Arnav. Arvind, who saw them talking, was delighted. He believed Khushi would balance their relationship from here on.
Khushi came to the stage and smiled at Arnav.
"I hope you are not upset with me," she said.
He nodded no.
"Will you be waiting for six months?" she asked.
"Do I have any choice?"
"By the way, when is your birthday? Why didn't you tell me your birth date?"
"I didn't hide it intentionally. It's exactly three days before our state meet. You might have thought of celebrating it. I don't want you to get distracted before the MEET. That's why I didn't tell you."
Khushi was stunned.
"Didn't you celebrate your birthday?"
"I didn't celebrate it last year... because I was concentrating on an important issue than my birthday." He chuckled.
"You are too much..."
Arnav smiled.
"I will celebrate it with my wife this year. Doesn't it sound good?"
"Not wife... but the going-to-be wife", Khushi corrected.
"No. I will celebrate my birthday with my WIFE," Arnav said confidently.
Khushi nodded, smiling. She thought he considered her as his wife, unaware of his plan.
"You know your father-in-law is working to send us to Cuba."
"Is it?"
"Yes, he wants us to get fit before our marriage itself. I think he understood we might slag after our marriage... So, he doesn't want us to struggle. So, he is making arrangements to send us to Cuba." He said teasingly.
"How sweet uncle is...!" Khushi said, understanding that he was pulling her leg.
"Mmm... don't be so happy. Our practice will be tough like hell in the upcoming days."
"Mm... but don't we take birth to achieve something big? So, we have to work hard..." Khushi said.
"By the way, we are engaged..."
Khushi nodded.
"You are my half-wife now."
Khushi smiled.
"Our upcoming days will be tough. I don't know what I will do after our wedding," Arnav said sadly.
Khushi controlled her smile.
"Hello, madam, why are you smiling?"
"I think I should ask Papa to fix our wedding after the Commonwealth Games."
"Don't you dare...!"
"You sound sad... that's why..." She suppressed her smile.
"Thank you for your concern. I will manage."
"You will manage... what about me?"
"Khushi, you are stronger than me... your performance will always be great!" he winked, and Khushi averted her gaze.
After ten days, Arnav and Khushi were ready to go to Cuba. They got special permission from the university and provided the legal certificate to be on extended leave, which their principal himself helped them get. The university permitted them with one condition. They should attend ONLINE classes weekly thrice, and they agreed to do so.
After six months
Arnav and Khushi returned to India. Raizadas and Guptas welcomed them. They could see a significant change in Arnav and Khushi, physically... only physically. There was no change in their behaviours.
"All the arrangements are done," Garima said smilingly.
Khushi looked at Arnav, who was smiling at her. Yes, their wedding was fixed on Arnav's birthday.
Arnav wanted it adamantly. For their luck, his birthday came on an auspicious day, so they fixed it on his birthday so that he would celebrate his birthday with his wife this year, as he said.
They went to their respective houses. Arvind let Arnav stay in RM. He didn't want to irritate him in the name of CARE.
Khushi entered GH, smelling the sweets.
"Mmm... wow... how many days..."
She took a jalebi and munched it. Shashi and Garima looked at her surprisingly, as she never showed interest in sweets; she wanted to be fit always.
"What's this, Khushi? You eat sweets?"
"Mom, I know how to convert glucose into energy. My practice will not let it stay in my body," She said confidently.
Shashi and Garima looked at each other proudly.
"Ok, get fresh and take a rest."
"Rest? Mom, what did I do to take a rest? You know we practised for twelve hours every day."
"Was that too hard?" Garima asked worriedly.
"Like hell... at first we struggled to cope up. We felt like, when will we sleep...! As days passed, we got used to it."
"That's nice..."
That was when Khushi received a call. She removed her phone and showed it to them.
"Arnavji presented it to me on my birthday. He is the one calling me."
"Attend the call..." Shashi said.
"Hi, Arnavji..." she walked to her room.
"What are you doing?"
"Showing your phone to my parents..."
"Did you tell them it's my gift?"
"Then who else would gift me other than you?"
"Mmm... our wedding is fixed..."
"Really? I don't know that," she chuckled.
"It feels hard to be alone, Khushi. I got used to being with you in the last six months..."
"Wait for a few days..."
"What will I get if I wait?"
"Don't you know?"
"I'm waiting to get the precious gift of my life on my birthday... YOU..."
Khushi smiled.
