Moment of Union

Aaj Unse Milna Hai Hame

" Aane Do Uss Arnav Singh Raizada Ko. Agar Aaj Doodh Ka Doodh Aur Pani Ka Pani Nahi Hogaya Tho Hamara Naam Bhi Khushi Kumari Gupta Nahi. Haan," proclaimed Khushi as she stood in front of her best friend Devi Maiyya with a fuming face.

The reason for her fuming face?

Well, she was to meet Arnav Singh Raizada who happened to be her prospective groom even before she was born. Why? Because their parents, unfortunately for her, happened to be family friends. And her mother never left a chance to tell about the 'greatness' of the young Raizada much to Khushi's irritation.

When Khushi had come to know that Arnav had completed his studies in the reputed Harvard University and was coming back to India, she let her heart admire his sheer brilliance for a second before pulling it back to dislike him to the core for not letting her enjoy her love life as her mother always considered only Mr.Raizada to be her son-in-law. And she had decided that she will tell to that Harvard's topper, her mother's darling, Arnav Singh Raizada that he can never have her no matter what.

And the sacred day of judgement had finally arrived while Khushi prepared herself as if she was preparing for a war.

" KHOOSI! Raizadas will be here any moment! Get ready soon and come down! You cannot be late! You are the one to welcome them, remember?" Khushi lip-synced her mother's words which were probably uttered for the 100th time that morning in an irritated manner as she gave herself a final look before leaving her room. Enemy or whatever, she couldn't afford to look anything less than breathtaking to break the heart of that Raizada.

Call it perfect timing or a signal from destiny, the Raizadas had arrived just as Khushi came down from her room and Garima nudged Khushi to go and open the door, while Khushi obliged as she rolled her eyes in irritation.

Her eyes which were previously being rolled were suddenly stuck to something or someone to be precise. A handsome young man with chiseled features had taken her breath away from her just as she wanted Arnav to lose his breath for her. Those caramel-orbs of his which mirrored her beauty seemed to enchant her beyond her imagination and his light stubble made her wonder if it would tickle her if she touches him.

But her romantic and poetic imaginations had to end as soon as Garima called out Arnav's name and she realized that the person at whom she was publicly gawking was none other than Arnav Singh Raizada himself. She was expecting the nerd whose photo she had seen a couple of years ago but not this sinfully handsome man who pushed her into a world of flattering imaginations.

" KHUSHI..." Her mother's almost shouting tone made Khushi retreat back into the reality as she saw Arnav eyeing her with an amused expression and that brought back her dislike for him.

Khushi mentally hit herself for feeling attracted towards this man in front of her who managed to irritate her from her childhood even without his presence nearby. She slightly hpmhed before following her mother who was escorting the Raizadas towards the living room.

Garima and Arnav's mother, Ratna exchanged glances and Garima quickly nodded while Ratna smiled naughtily before wiping off the smile before either of their children could read those cunning expressions on their mother's faces but both their children had managed to capture their expressions before their mothers concealed it under a smile.

Khushi cursed her mother's matchmaking capabilities and thoughts mentally while Arnav pondered over the reason which led to those cunning expressions on his affectionate mother's face. Little did he know, unlike Khushi, that this whole meeting was a plan to unite the children of two families. But little did they know that Khushi had all plans ready to destroy this little meeting.

After exchanging some pleasantries and taking full undue advantages of Arnav looking around the house as he was there for the first time, Garima began speaking on Ratna's prompt,
