Always and Forever

Chapter 23

Shyam looked around and was confused. The house was decorated like there is another wedding. He was sure the decorators had removed most of the decorations from Akash and Payal's wedding when he left and these flowers are different.

"Darling, I didn't think you were this angry that you planned on getting married to someone else" Joked Shyam looking around again.

"Shyam Ji, you and your jokes. But I am glad you are back. Now you can celebrate with us. There is a surprise for you. Come"

She took Shyam towards the Wedding mandap. Shyam looked at the bride and got the shock of his life. Khushi stood there wearing a bridal Lehenga. Not only that but she also had sindoor on her forehead and there was a mangal sutra tied around her neck. Khushi got married? But how? and then he saw who was standing next to her.

His brother-in-law, Arnav Singh Raizada who vowed never to get married now standing next to Khushi, in a wedding sherwani, with a garland around his neck and holding Khushi's hand. How long was he gone? He probably is dreaming.

On his way he planned everything. How he will tackle Khushi, how he will make her surrender to sleep with him, and later how can he manipulate the story so that Raizadas will throw her out of the house. All his plans are ruined now by his own brother-in-law. When he left, Arnav and Khushi were mortal enemies and in 4 days they got married. Something is fishy here. He has to find out the truth about this marriage.

Anjali who was expecting a different reaction from her husband was upset. "Shyam Ji, you look angry. I am sorry but there was no way I could contact you to inform you of this. You didn't even tell me where you were going. I know you feel angry. Being the son-in-law of this family you have the right to know but believe me, circumstances were like that and we couldn't delay the wedding"

Shyam quickly masked his anger. "No Darling, I am not angry. I am shocked. Arnav got married. you have to admit, it's a major shocker."

"Congratulations Chote" Shyam hugged Arnav. Arnav who had no other options hugged him back faking a smile.

"Congratulations Khushi Ji" Shyam was about to hug her when she bent down and touched his feet.

"Thank you, Shyam Ji. I know you must be sad that you couldn't attend your little sister's wedding but at least you can bless us" Khushi hit the correct button again cursing him in her mind.

Shyam was taken aback. He was angry but he had to mask his anger for the sake of his himself. His Ego was hurt. It is clear that his dream of sleeping with virgin Khushi is never going to happen. She won't be a virgin by tomorrow morning. His hunger and lust were replaced by his anger. He took a mental note to take his revenge on both Arnav and Khushi for ruining his plan.

Arnav looked at Akash and Payal. All four of them felt relieved. But they knew they quickly needed another secret family meeting before Payal and Akash flew to Paris.

The family completed a few remaining post-wedding rituals and it was almost time for them to sleep.

Anjali and Payal took Khushi upstairs. Khushi was about to turn left when Anjali held her and turned her right. "Khushi, from now on always turn right. Now you are married to Chote so you won't be sleeping in your old room anymore". They took Khushi to Arnav's room.

Anjali made Khushi sit in the middle of the bed and covered her face with her veil and left.

Khushi didn't know what to do. Will Arnav expect her to be sitting here on his bed waiting for him like a normal bride or he would expect her to get changed and sleep as if nothing happened? She saw all of her stuff had already been shifted so she can go and take a shower.
