UNBREAKABLE VOW (COMPLETED)

32 Sangeet

Part 32 Sangeeth

Ratna was supervising Sangeeth arrangements. Garima was helping her. The stage arrangements were done. Ratna called some of her relative girls and boys to the sangeet function. They were well prepared to dance in the function.

Subhadra herself invited Kamini this time because she doesn't want to give a chance for the TORTURE girl to play with her this time. But Kamini is not completely fine with her idea.

*Why did you call me for the function in which I'm not interested? Do you want me to see all this nonsense?*

*I called you because they don't want to suspect me. I want them to think that I'm fine with this marriage. I know you won't like to come here... I'm sorry, I have no choice.*

Kamini nodded yes with disinterest.

*Let's go... have something... please try to be casual...*

Kamini nodded ok.

Arnav came downstairs getting ready. He looked here and there for Khushi. It seems she has not come yet. Of course, girls take time to get ready usually. This is HER Sangeeth after all. Don't know how long she will take... Arnav sighed. He took a juice glass from the tray which Hariprakash brought to distribute it to the guest. He drank the juice, looking at the stairs. He stopped sipping, keeping the glass in his mouth. His breath ditched him when Khushi came downstairs. She looked breathtakingly attractive. Keeping the glass aside, he came to her.

Khushi stopped as he was blocking her way. She looked at him and understood that he is lost in her. She flicked her finger to get him out of the spell.

Arnav extended his hand towards her gesturing her to hold. Khushi rolled her eyes and left the place. Arnav fisted his finger, smirking at her.

Ratna called Khushi when the sangeet function was about to start...

*Yes, aunty...?*

*come...*

Ratna dragged her to the front row where the VIP chair was waiting.

*Sit here*

*Here...?*

*Yup... you are one of the VIPs today...sit* she made her sit, pressing Khushi's shoulders.

Khushi nodded ok smiling at her. Her eyes popped out when Ratna called Arnav... the other VIP.

*Yes, Mom...* Arnav asked her.

*Sit with Khushi...*

Arnav smiled raising her brows.

*That's going to be entertaining...* he said, sitting beside her.

Ratna left the place to invite the guests. Kamini fumed, seeing them sitting together.

*Doesn't your daughter-in-law have sense? Why she is so fond of these low-class people?* she asked Subhadra.

Subhadra stood wordless. What does she say? Ratna is always like this... she didn't want Arvind to marry Ratna because Ratna was very simple. But Avinash supported Arvind and Ratna's love. Subhadra accepted it half-heartedly only because she belongs to a rich family.

*Please, adjust for two days... I promise this marriage will not happen...trust me*

Kamini nodded ok.

.........

*Hi, you are looking gorgeous...* Arnav said greasily.

*I know... in fact, I always have...* she said with attitude.

*Really...? I will see how you look when you sleep...*

Khushi looked at him shockingly.

*Why are you looking at me like this? You are going to be with me every night... after our marriage...*

*Every day also...* she said mockingly.

*, Of course, you are right... we are going to be together...forever...*

Khushi was supposed to say something, the program started. Not only Arnav and Khushi but also Arvind and Subi got surprised because Ratna and Garima presented the program.

Khushi clapped excitedly and Arnav smiled at her. She sat straight, neatening herself. The program started in the TOP gear with the Girls and Boys dance. Khushi enjoyed it a lot whereas Arnav enjoyed Khushi's company.

Arnav gazed at her with emotions when the song, PEHLA PEHLA PYAR HAI performed. Khushi sensed his constant gaze and she couldn't hold herself from looking at him. She gulped hard in embarrassment when Arnav clutched her palm softly. Don't know why she doesn't feel to take her hand from his clutch.

They got their sense back when they heard applause. Khushi pulled her hand and sat turning opposite to him, tightening her fist.

Ratna came to the stage to welcome the next participant of the sangeet program. She jerked as someone snatched the mike from her hand. She turned around and saw Arnav standing with the mike. Khushi got amazed, seeing Arnav on the stage. Is he going to dance? Didn't he say that he is going to do something? She gulped hard as Arnav smiled at her.

*The Groom wants to say something...* Ratna said, pulling the mike towards her which was in Arnav's hand. Arnav nodded yes and started speaking.

*I'm getting married to Khushi Gupta. There is an unknown chapter in our story. We got engaged when we were small. Yes... she is my childhood darling. (Khushi clutched her shawl with a thudding heartbeat. She didn't expect he will speak openly.) I had been waiting for ten years in her memories... I was craving to meet her... talk to her... to be with her... She knew I love her but she doesn't know how much... We are getting married. But I have not proposed to her for the marriage. Now...I'm going to do that...*

Ratna clapped excitedly. So did everyone except TWO. No need to say who the duo is...

Arnav got down from the stage and came to Khushi. He extended his hand towards her. Khushi blinked her eyes with hesitation. She heard people shouting.

*Go Khushi...*

She looked at Garima and she blinked her eyes. Khushi clutched Arnav's hand and he brought her to the stage. As no one expected, he kneeled down in front of her, clutching her knuckle.

*Will you marry me?* He asked her.

She didn't look at her surroundings and couldn't take her eyes from the man who is waiting for her reply.

Again the crowd shouted.

*Say YES...*

She nodded yes automatically. Arnav stood smilingly and hugged Khushi, giving her lifetime shock. Her eyes became egg size.

Ratna and Garima looked at each other with the same shock. They smiled at each other blushingly. The crowd honored them with standing applause.

Khushi got apart from Arnav slowly. She didn't look at Arnav as she was embarrassed. This is what he said about? She was not dumb not to understand his excitement and that much excitement made her nervous. She doesn't think that this man is stoppable. That thought gave her Goosebumps.

Helpless Subhadra

Kamini was shouting at Subhadra as usual.

*Thank God... I didn't bring my granddaughter here...she would have spat on my face seeing your over romantic grandson...* Kamini spat fire on Subhadra.

*I didn't expect Arnav will propose to her in front of the people...* Subhadra said.

*Only two days left for the marriage... what are you going to do to stop the marriage?*
