Khushi " Today Arnavji and I are getting married. Of course Arnavji will come. I trust him. I know he loves me. Even more than himself. And he will never break my trust "
Khushi looked at all the people present there; sympathy in their eyes made her feel out of world. Why none understood her? why none was ready to have trust in her trust? Dadi's revelation to their entangled past never be reason of their separation. Actually there should be no reason of their separation! Their submission to each other, their night of love and emotion, their moment of passion and desire was not only her trust in him but also her belief in him. She loves him and she knows he loves her more. She could still feel his touch lingering on her skin, she could feel his lips playing against hers; the feeling of a woman from a girl was still enchanting her mind and body.
Payal " Khushi... How long will you wait Khushi?? Arnavji will not come " with tears
Khushi " You don't trust him, I don't mind. But I trust him. I do. Our love is being tested today and I know he will definitely come "
Of course Arnav will come today. How can he not? This marriage was his dream too. He might be late for some reason but that didn't mean that he is not coming. She just had to be patient and wait for him. Khushi sat down near the holy fire and prayed to her beloved Devi Maiyya to bring her love safely to her. She sat there staring at the flames as thousands of thoughts rushed into her mind. She remembered how Arnav proposed her at the Sangeet while making quite a fool of himself that day with Salman Khan's dance moves just to bring a smile to her face. Khushi felt hopeful. Even Dadi's bitter words felt less stringing. She remembered all their moments of love.
Khushi " He'll come and I'll wait for him here "
It was chaos. All Raizada and Gupta ladies were crying while looking at Khsuhi with piety. But all these barely registered in her mind. Suddenly the sound of shoes tapping against the floor reached in her ears. This tap against floor was as arrogant and loud as him.
Khushi smiled through tears " Arnavji!!! " turned around swiftly
At a few feet away he was standing there with a wounded forehead and bruised head. Her heart skipped a beat seeing his eyes were red, dry marks of tears against his cheek.
Khushi ran to Arnav " Kahan the aap.. Aaj humari shadi hai Arnavji.. Aur aap hai ki?? " cupping his both cheek
He did not reply just took his steps forwarded. She did not step back as he had made her understand that time has reached and they both should step ahead with each other.
Arnav " Your Mother Or I? "
Khushi " Huh? " not understanding
Arnav " There is a choice you have to make today for lifetime. What do you want Khushi, to be a daughter to Garima Gupta or Wife to Arnav Singh Raizada? "
