Khushi quickly hugged him feeling overwhelmed. She can't believe that Arnav loved her to this extend. She feels like this is the biggest happiness of her life. She knows that no one can loves her better than Arnav. He is just like her guardian angel who protect her from every problem and showers her with immense love. She closed her eyes thanking the almighty for sending him in her life.

Swetha knocked the door." Chote...shall we continue the rituals".

Khushi comes to her senses hearing her voice. She withdraws from the hug awkwardly and looked down shying. Arnav chuckled at her expression." Come Khushi." He holds her hand gently. Khushi nodes her head and accompany him.


In the hall


Swetha explains a the ritual to them. "Chote , Khushi bitiya this vessel contains a ring. You both need to find the ring at the same time. Those who gets the ring will have upper hand in the marriage and can easily rule the other". Swetha said in a teasing tone.

Khushi looked at Arnav's face to see him winking at her. She gulped and looked down. The game starts both of them were trying to find the ring. Suddenly Khushi feels something stuck her fingers. She realize that it's the ring. She quickly opens Arnav's palm and place the ring in his. 

Without giving him time to react she lifts his hand from the water." Arnavji got the ring....!!". She exclaimed looking at everyone.

All these while Arnav was looking at her spell bounded. He can't believe what's happening. He thought that he won't find the ring and let Khushi wins the game. But everything happend in reverse. Swetha looked at the ring in Arnav's palm disappointed." I thought that my bahu will win. Koi bath nahi bitiya. This ring won't define the power of woman. I'm sure that you will rule my stubborn son and makes some sense in his head".

Arnav whined" Maa.....".Everyone laughed at his pouting face. 

When everyone's attention shifted towards the next arrangements
Arnav quickly asked her."Why did you do that Khushi".

"Do what Arnavji". She said confused.

"Khushi you got the ring then why did you put that in my hand". Arnav asked

This time Khushi looked at him straight into his eyes." I don't want to dominate you Arnavji. You are the reason behind every happiness in my life. After marriage also I want you to finalize the decisions because I perfectly knows that whatever you will do is for my happiness and safety". Her eyes brimmed with immense trust and gratitude for him.

Arnav looked at her forgetting his surroundings. He was shocked when Khushi openly shared her feelings for him. Both of them was totally unaware of their surroundings and continued to express their feelings through the eyes. They falls out of their dreamland when Swetha holds Khushi's hand to led her to the bedroom. 


At night


Arnav was pacing in the living room. His mother didn't let him enter their bedroom.
As he was reaching the end of his patience. Swetha comes descending the stairs. Arnav rushed near her." How much time you will take maa". He said in a complaining tone.

Swetha rolled her eyes. "There is no one to help me Chote. You know that naa. Anjali didn't participate in the marriage because she hates Khushi. and your father......"..Swetha is going on with the list of her complaints. 

Arnav kissed her teeth mumbling a quick "good night" and rushed to the stairs. 

On reaching at the top he shouted at raj." Best of luck dad. grab some cotton for the safety of your ears. OK". He said winking at them and runs to his room. Making the eyes of the others grown wide.


Khushi is sitting in the decorated bed waiting for Arnav. She is really afraid now.

she knows that Arnav loves her. But she is very confused about her own feelings. She knows that Arnav is special to her heart and she feels something for them. But she is not sure that if it is love. She wants to start their marriage life after clearing her confusion. But she is afraid about Arnav's reaction. She don't knows whether he will accept her decision or not. She can never say no to him.

She was deeply engrossed in her thoughts so that she fails to see Arnav standing in front of her with an amused expression.

He sats near her." Khushi.. ".He holds her hand. Khushi jerked open from her thoughts and looked at him wide eyes. Arnav bits inside his cheek to stop his smile. From her reaction he very well knows that what are the thoughts that running in her tiny head. he decided to tease her a bit.

He rub his finger over her palm. "Khushi......". He whispered huskily.

Khushi suddenly looked down feeling nervous." H...ha...han Arnavji.....".she stammered.

Arnav chuckled inwardly seeing her nervous form. But he perfectly masked his expression." Khushi you know naa today is our suhagraat". He asked in a whisper coming close to her face.

Khushi closed her eyes tightly." J....ji...ar..arnavji..".She said in a shaky breath. She was praying silently in her mind. 

Arnav looked at her facial expression. Seeing her scared form he decided to stop his teasing. He kissed her forehead lovingly and step back.

Khushi opens her eyes feeling her lips on her forehead . She looked at Arnav confusedly who is now smiling at her.

Arnav cupped her cheek." You don't need to worry Khushi. I know that this marriage is really a shock for you and you need time to adjust with it's reality. We will step into our next phase of marriage only after your consent. It will happen only when ever you are fully ready OK". He said in an assuring tone.

Khushi is looking at him open mouthed.

Arnav laughed at her expression." What Khushi...don't tell me that you thought I will force you.".He said with a grin.

Khushi smiled at him sheepishly and nodded a no. 

Arnav kissed her forehead." Now go and change your clothes". He said while placing a new pair of salwar in her hand.

Khushi gives him a wide smile and rushed to the washroom.
