Chapter 19A: Sagaii ya phir... (Engagement or...)

ASR: Khushi!

His voice echoed from the speakers.. Her eyes popped out and she looked towards the crowd.. Every guest turned around while a confused Nanaji and Payal looked straight ahead where Arnav was standing holding a mike. Khushi stared into his eyes and he said with a confidence...

ASR: Don't do it! Don't take the ring off Khushi..

A lonely tear fell down her cheek and a smile finally curved on her lips. They both stared at each other completely indifferent to the world staring at them while Payal and Nanaji turned to Khushi in shock. Seeing all this, Nanaji was unable to understand a thing but he surely knew something was going to happen... He was fuming in anger and called out Khushi in an angry tone.

Nanaji: Khushi!

Lost in the love of Arnav, the voice of Nanaji went unheard. "If he calls her once, she'll run happily into his arms without any hesitation", that was what her heart was telling her.. She no more cared about anything.. She broke the eyelock and turned towards Viren.

Khushi: I'm sorry Viren.. I cannot do this!

Viren raised his eyebrows and looked at her angrily

Viren: You ought to be.. Your lover boy almost strangled me the other day.

His sudden words shocked her. The rest of the crowd didn't hear him, but Nanaji and Payal were close enough and they were more confused than before...

Khushi: You.. you knew?

Suddenly his mouth curved up breaking into a wide smile and he winked naughtily...

She wiped her tear and smiled. As she turned away ignoring both Payal and Nanaji, she was stepping away when someone held her wrist. She didn't have to see who it was. Obviously the one who cannot accept defeat again.. She turned and bored into the fuming eyes of Nanaji. Nanaji looked around him well conscious of the surroundings. He controlled his anger and tried to appear as normal as he could. He turned his eyes towards Arnav who smirked at him arrogantly.

Nanaji: Mr Raizada, koi problem hai? (Mr Raizada, any problem?)

ASR: Haan!... Yeh sagaii nahin hosakta!(Yes!...This engagement cannot happen!)

All looked at him in confusion while Khushi was impressed by his guts. Nanaji was fuming and Khushi's heart was jumping in joy. Confidence took over the fear on her face and she finally breathed in peace.

Nanaji: Aur kya mein poochsakta hai kyun nahin hosakta yeh sagai? (And can I ask why?)

He let a sarcastic laugh and said...

ASR: Are aaj khushi ki sagai kaise hosakta hai, uski sagai to ho chuki hai!... Mere Saath!(how can Khushi get engage today when she is already engaged!... With Me!)

The confession of Arnav shocked more than one. The people around began murmuring among themselves and Khushi gulped her breath as she looked at Payal shocked face worriedly. Khushi held her wrist which forced her to look into Khushi's eyes. She slowly nodded in affirmation to her babhi. Nanaji was shocked and furious.. He never expected such bomb! This was humiliating... And he was so not ready to let this happen... He forgot about the guests and rushed down the stage barking angrily at Arnav.

Nanaji: Yeh kya bakwaas hai.. tumhara dimaag karab ho kya? (What is this nonsense.. have you lost it?)

Arnav handed the mike to Lavanya who was standing by his side and walked tall towards Nanaji. He looked into his eyes without a blink and any fear. Arnav appeared calm but inside he was as angry as Nanaji. He still had the flashes of Khushi talking about her past. What happened to Khushi's mother, he'll make sure that this will never happen to anyone again.. at least not to the people of this house.. either his Khushi, Payal babhi, or Anu.. this was his family now. He reached near Nanaji and stood in front of him confidently.

ASR: Bakwaas nahin sachaiii hai.. Mein aur Khushi ek dhoosre se pyar karti hai.. London se! Aur kar raat hamari sagaaii ho chuki hai.. Na-na-ji! (Not nonsense.. Khushi and I we both love each other.. from London! And we got engaged yesterday night.. Na-na-ji!)

Payal's eyes welled up.. She looked towards Khushi feeling guilty. Khushi was not only her sister in law, but her sister and also her daughter.. How couldn't she see that her princess was unhappy with all this.. and why did she agree to this. But the answer was crystal clear.. For her! If Khushi cared about anyone's happiness in this house, it was only Payal and Anu. She closed her eyes and thanked her god for stopping this engagement on time when suddenly Nanaji took everyone by shock in his anger as he grabbed Arnav's collar. And he said in a low voice so as to avoid all ears..

Nanaji: Tum yeh soch bhi nahin sakta ke mein kya karsakta.. dafa ho jayo yahaan se iss se pehle ke tum pachtao! (You cannot even think what I can do.. just get lost from here before you regret it!)

Arnav let a sarcastic laugh and forcefully stepped back from his grip. He smirked and said loudly but in a cool voice..

ASR: Unbelievable! You still think.. ke jo aap chaate wohi hoga (that what you want will happen).. tss tss.. Wake up Nanaji, waqt aage ho chukka..  Bahut kuch badal gaya.. Na mujhe apke damkiyon se dar hai aur na Khushi apki beti hai! Khushi bahut zyada strong hai.. (Time has gone ahead.. lots have changed.. I'm not scared of your threats and Khushi is not your daughter! Khushi is way much stronger..)

Nanaji was shocked at what Arnav just said.. How the hell does he know about his daughter? As he looked at Khushi, it reminded him of that day.. The day his daughter died and Khushi standing behind the door listening to his conversation. He was fuming and now he was repenting that he took it lightly.. Arnav turned his eyes towards his lady love and extended his hand to her. Khushi smiled and looked to her Babhi.

Khushi: Babhi woh...

Payal: Nahin Khushi.. Aaj nahin... tum wohi karo jo tumhara dil kehraha hai.. (No Khush.. Not today... you'll do what your heart is telling you..)

Khushi crashed into her arms happily. As they broke their hug, Payal kissed her forehead and Khushi turned away. She held her lengha and rushed down the stage. As she approached Arnav, she placed her hand in his and they both looked at Nanaji.

ASR: To aab  nanaji, (So now nanaji) what are you going to do? Kya apke paas koi plan hai kya?  Aap plan ke bare mein soche aur (Do you have any plan? You think about the plan and) meantime I'll take my plan into action. Aur don't worry.. yeh sab tayari, (all these arrangements) decorations, guests,.. I won't let it go waste! Afterall we are family!

Apart from Lavanya and Viren, everyone was confused. Khushi loved this side of him but she was as much confused when suddenly... In the center of the hall, all eyes stuck onto them, Arnav bent onto his knees looking straight into her eyes.. Her heart skipped a beat as he kissed her knuckles. The tears threatening to fall, she felt restless waiting for his next words while Arnav smirked at her impatience.

ASR: Khushi Kumari Gupta.. Yesterday I made you wear this ring without asking you if you were willing to take this relationship ahead... How dumb of me, isn't it?

He chuckled at his own words while khushi smiled.

ASR: But today, I want to ask you officially in front of everyone.. Kya tum mujhse Shaadi Karogi, aaj, abhi, isi waqt? (Will you marry me, today, now, at this moment?)

Khushi was unable to control her tears anymore while Nanaji's eyes popped out in shock. Oldies among the guests were disgusted at such boldness of the two lovers while the youngsters especially the young girls were awed at the scene.

Khushi: Haan!(Yes!)

Both were lost in their world and completely forgot Nanaji by their side. Viren had his arms around Payal and they both stared at the couple with tears in their eyes. They were so happy for their princess. Khushi laid a hand on his shoulders forcing him to stand in front of her as she said in between her sobs.

Khushi: Haan mein tumse shaadi karogi.. Aaj koi darr nahin.. Sirf tum aur main.. (Yes I will marry you.. Today no fear.. Only you and me..)

And she jumped to his neck. Their bodies crashed into each other.. She didn't care about the world around.. and the shocked guests. She felt no embarrassment.. She could stay for hours.. Arnav passed his arms around her bare waist.  Nanaji lowered his eyes as he felt mortified. They broke their hug and looked at each other happily. Suddenly the trance broke when Nanaji pulled her angrily from Arnav. Nanaji still couldn't believe it.. All these years of respect and pride in the society.. how could he let it crushed in just a moment? He didn't spare his own daughter for this! And he whispered..

Nanaji: Yeh kya tamasha hai khushi... yeh bakwaas ban kar do.. (What is this drama khushi... stop all this nonsense..)

Khushi was irritated now.. and she had enough of this nanaji drama.. She forcefully pulled her arms from Nanaji and yelled angrily..

Khushi: Enough!

Nanaji was shell-shocked. Khushi has always been difficult since a kid but she never raised her tone when she talked to him. But there was more.. She had enough.. She suffered enough.. and she had to lashed it out.

Khushi: I hate you Mr Baajpaye... I- hate - you.. I wished ke meri mama apko yeh kehpati.. Apko to baap kehne ke layak hi nahi hain.. Apne uski zindagi barbaad ki hain.. Aur aab meri bhi zindagi? Kabhi nahin! Aap sirf ek matlabi insaan hai jo kisi ka bara nahin karsakta.. (I wished that my mother could say this to you. You are not deserved to be called a father.. You ruined her life.. and now my life also? Never! You are only a selfish person who cannot do any good for anyone..) Disgusting!

Nanaji was furious and yelled as he raised his hand to slap Khushi.

Nanaji: Khushi!!

All were shocked. Khushi was scared and turned her face in fear. She crashed into Arnav's chest who stepped forward to protect Khushi. Khushi gripped to Arnav's clothes while Nanaji stayed rooted on the spot. Nanaji pierced into the eyes of the angry man who was holding his hand. The guests confused, Payal shocked, Viren smirked and Khushi froze as she turned and saw who stopped Nanaji from slapping her while the cute Anu standing not too far winked at Arnav victoriously.

MahaUpdate Chapter 18 - Only Yours

Khushi: You dumb ass****! It’s tears of happiness...

And she jumped into his arms.

Khushi: I love you!

The Next Day

The engagement ceremony was approaching.. Khushi spent the whole night in the arms of Arnav. They talked, they joked, they laughed.. Arnav managed to drive away her fear and she almost forget that she is getting engage the next day.. It was 11 am and when she woke up, she was alone in her bed. She understood that her Babhi might have covered her for missing the morning prayers. She lowered her eyes towards her fingers and a smile glowed on her face.

Khushi: I’m engaged!

 Excitedly she got into her slippers and rushed to the bathroom. After her shower, she wore a beautiful red salwar.. Arnav’s favorite color! Checking her out several times into the mirror, she adjusted her dupatta and talked to her reflection..

Khushi: Not bad Mrs to be Raizada!

Her happiness had no bound. She wanted to yell out to the world that she is in love and engaged to the love of her life.. She took all her sweet time to dress up, brush her hairs, wore all these bangles which normally she found ridiculous and annoying, her earrings.. After all, she was dressing up for someone special today. When it was all done, she finally stepped out of her room to the worst reality.. Decorations were going on and her eyes fell on the big heart in the hall and the words written on it...

“Viren

&

   Khushi”

The happiness went lost and she closed her eyes. She had to do this..

Khushi thinks: Yes! I can do this.. Nothing will happen! It’s just an engagement! A fake engagement!

She breathed out and opened her eyes. Instantly the smile came back as in front of her was written..

“Arnav

&

    Khushi”

Arnav walked to her and handed her the small card in a heart shape.

ASR: I said it Khushi! I want you to forget everything today. Just be a beautiful fiancée tonight, that’s it! Don’t worry, ok?

She nodded in affirmation. Arnav seemed so cool about everything and she was living on his confidence. Before she uttered a word, Payal walked up the stairs and happily came hugging Khushi.

Payal: Khushi, I’m so happy! Aaj tumhari sagai hai.. (today is your engagement)

Khushi faked a smile while Arnav stared at the two ladies. Payal handed her a gift box and said..

Payal: Take this.. you are wearing this dress for the engagement..

She took the box from her Payal.

Payal: puchegi nahin kisne diya? (Won’t you ask who give it?)

Khushi: Pata hai babhi.. (I know babhi..) you bought this from the mall right!

She smacked her head lovingly.

Payal: Pagli.. uss din blast hua tha, to dress ko mein shop mein hi bhoolgayi. (Crazy.. that day with the blast, I forgot the dress in the shop.)

Khushi looked at her questioningly.

Khushi: To yeh dress kahan se aayi? (So where this dress come from?)

Payal smiled.

Payal: Yeh dress arnav ji ne diya. (Arnavji gave you this dress)

Her eyes shot open and she looked at his sexy smirk.

Payal: Tumhe bahut pasan hoga.. Arnavji ne khud London se order kiya hai.. Apni behen ki company se.. (You will love it a lot.. Arnav ordered this from London.. from his sister’s company..)

Forgetting Payal, Khushi was lost in his eyes. Arnav knew her state.. She was jumping out of joy in her heart.. if only Payal was not here, she would certainly jump to his neck. Payal had to shake her arms to bring her back..

Payal: Khushiiii... Stop staring at him and say thank you! Pagal!(Crazy!)

She blushed.

Khushi: Thank you!

Arnav in his cool attitude.

ASR: That’s ok! My pleasure..

Khushi looked at Payal.

Khushi: Babhi I’m going to my room!

She turned away, reached her room and locked the doors. Holding the box in her hands, she jumped in excitement. She couldn’t stop smiling. Breathing heavily, she was finally opening the box when a hand stopped her. She lifted her eyes to Arnav.

ASR: Don’t!

She glared at him in confusion.

ASR: Open it only when you’ll get ready to come down in the evening.

Khushi protested as her excitement was too much to handle.

Khushi: But....

He approached her and took her lips into a long passionate kiss. As they broke apart, he murmured..

ASR: You talk too much Khushi.. I said it na.. open it in the evening..

She looked at him mischievously.

Khushi: And if I don’t like the dress?

She raised her eyebrows questioningly and he smirked arrogantly..

ASR: Impossible!

Khushi: Why?

And he said proudly.

ASR: Because it’s personalized for you...

Now she was confused.

Khushi: Matlab? (You mean?)

ASR: Matlab... Meine khud tumhare liye design kiya tha... (I mean.. that I designed it myself for you only..)

Her eyes popped out and she yelled.

Khushi: Kab? (When?)

ASR: Ssshhh.. don’t shout! Log soche ge ke tum pagal ho.. (People will think that you are insane..) talking to yourself!

And she whispered...

Khushi: Kab? (When?)

ASR: Kuch time pehle.. (Some time before..) Di needed some help.. so I was in office to help her and one night I was missing you so I end up designing this for you..

Khushi’s eyes welled up on hearing his confession and she couldn’t stop her words.

Khushi: Arnav I don’t want this engagement.. I don’t want to take off this ring from my finger.. We can still run away..

ASR: Sssshh.. Relax.. I’m here with you! No one is running away..

In his arms, she whispered

Khushi: I want to be only yours.

He cupped her face and looked into her eyes. He leaned towards her and kissed her cheeks sensually. He whispered to her...

ASR: You are already mine.

His nose brushed her skin till he captured her lips. It went from a soft comforting kiss to a lingering kiss full of love, care and passion. He sucked her upper lip and then nibbled her lower lip. Arnav was controlling her senses... She didn’t want to go fast! This is no more just sex.. This is love.. pure love. He slipped his tongue into her mouth while she brought her hands around his neck. Her hands tangled into his hairs and Arnav guided his hands tenderly down her back. He lifted her thighs up the sides of his body and seconds later Khushi was carried away to bed.

Warning

Mature part ahead!

Click on play.. before reading!

He laid her onto bed. They both shared an eye lock while his fingers traced the lines of her angelic face. He leaned towards her and kissed her forehead. He slowly moved, kissed her eyes, her cheeks, her nose and came to her lips.. For the first time, Khushi was nervous and blushing.. She moved into his chest hiding her blushing face before he could take her lips again.. In his embrace, eyes closed, she laid her head on his shoulders. His hands pushed her hairs aside and played with her dori while Khushi held to him firmly. As he opened the knot of her dori, he slowly slid down her dress exposing her cleavage. He pulled her from his chest and she leaned her head back. She breathed heavily as he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He took his own time letting his lips to explore every inches of her skin down her breasts. He came back upward as he peppered sweet kisses on her neck and her naked shoulders. He forced her to straighten her head and looked into his eyes.. His breath caressed her face while his hands got hold of her dress. He slowly passed the dress from her head leaving her hairs in a mess. In a swift, he brought his hands to the hook of her bra and expertly unclasped it.. As he threw her bra away, he pushed her body gently and she leaned her head on the pillow while he took off his shirt. He leaned down immediately and crashed his lips onto hers. His body came on top of her while his hands brushed the peak of her breasts. She let a moan as she gasped for air. Arnav broke the kiss and sucked her skin all the way down her collarbone.. He bit her soft skin marking her as his when he heard her moan in pain. He sucked her skin to soothe the pain while his hands squeezed her breasts. He moved down her breast and kissed around her right breast. He lifted his eyelids towards her face while he swirled his tongue on her hard nipples. He smirked as he looked at her expression.. His tongue continued to play havoc on her senses as he shifted from one breast to another while he slid his hands down her waist. He slowly pulled her salwar off as he kissed her body down her waist to her sensitive spot. Delicately he slipped down her wet panties exposing her throbbing clit. She felt the torture as his fingers began flirting with her wet spot.. In the silence, Arnav could hear her panting in pleasure. He leaned closer to her wetness, and his tongue replaced his fingers.. Unconsciously she lifted her hips as he licked up her dripping slit. He finally plunged his tongue into her core and Khushi let a moan..  Her legs were trembling as he stroked his tongue in and out of her swollen clit. She clenched the bed sheet in her fists while her hips moved with his strokes. When he finally took out his tongue, he sucked the lips of her clit as she groaned his name..

Khushi: Arrrnavv Please..

His jeans were tight due to his growing bulge.. He had been ignoring the need to take her for long as he wanted to love her.. to give her the love she needed.. But now both were about to explode.. They needed each other.. She needed him inside of her as much as he wanted to feel her. He moved away and got off the bed.. Khushi admired him as he unbuckled his belt and took off his jeans and his boxers... They both stared at each other in desire while he stepped forward to her.. He positioned his body onto her and their lips were inches away while his hardness rubbed against the inside of her thighs. Their lips began to mingle with each other teasingly and Khushi spread her legs in need. She could feel her manhood at her entrance. She closed her eyes in anticipation...

ASR: Look at me Khushi

She obeyed him and opened her eyelids to fix into his eyes as he penetrated into her. He began thrusting in a slow pace till he fastened his strokes into her. Khushi passed her arms around him while her hips moved with each thrust. She dug her nails into his back as she groaned in pleasure. Arnav sucked her earlobe and Khushi wrapped her legs around his waist. He pushed deeper into her and Arnav captured her lips preventing her from crying out loud. He knew she was about to cum.. and he crashed faster and faster into her bringing her to ecstasy. She panted harder and she finally climaxed. Seconds later, Arnav also exploded into her.. Slowly they closed their eyes and drifted to sleep into each other’s arms.

*****

It was 3 in the afternoon.. Arnav looked at Khushi’s sleeping figure. The blanket covered her up to her waist exposing her naked back to Arnav. Her head lying on the pillow while her mouth formed a cute pout. He so wished to let her sleep. She looked so beautiful. Her face was glowing and he admired the love bites on her all other her body. It was always special holding her and make love to her.. But today it was more than special.. She wanted him to love her.. He felt different.. He smiled happily, and leaned on her back. He kissed her back and moved towards her ears. He whispered...

ASR: Time to wake up sleeping beauty..

Grumpy Khushi groaned in her sleep.

Khushi: Go to hell Raizada.. let me sleep...

He let a silent laugh and said in a sarcastic tone.

ASR: Ok, if you say so! I’m going.. I bet your sweet Payal Babhi will reached your room shortly.. it’s 3 and she’ll come yelling.. “ Khushi you are not ready”...

As she heard his words, realization struck her, and she jerked up. She was naked and Arnav lowered his eyes towards her breasts.. He smirked!

ASR: Nice boobs.. but seen enough for today..

She frowned at him and faked an angry glare.

Khushi: Buzz off! Dumb ass****

And she wrapped herself into the bed sheet and got off from bed. Few steps away and she stopped. She turned back towards Arnav and ran to him. She quickly kissed his cheek and rushed to the bathroom while she yelled on her way...

Khushi: I love you Raizada!

Arnav smiled and picked his scattered clothes from the carpet. He slipped on his shirt and jeans and disappeared from the balcony.

*****

The hall was decorated with thousand lights.. the guests began to arrive and were welcomed by Nanaji and Payal. The arrangements were high class. On the sides, stages have been placed. On the left it was for the performance of some professional dancers while on the right.. two royal chairs were disposed for Khushi and her so called to be fiancé.  Arnav was standing in a corner while a bunch of crowd were talking and laughing with Nanaji.. Arnav was in a sherwani. In a white and silver combination, he was the spark in almost every eyes.

People who never met Viren could mistake him to be the one to get engage. And why not.. he was impatiently waiting.. the prince waiting for the princess to descend down the staircase covered with the red carpet. Suddenly the lights were off and in the darkness Arnav lifted his eyes towards the stairs. While in the background the music started, a hard light illuminated the staircase exposing the most beautiful creature of this world.

Akhiyaan cch wassda jedah long mera ... Mahi aey....
Chann di naa taareyan di ... rab di jaahan di...  

That pearl which is in my eyes... it is my Love
She doesn't belong to moon or stars, she is from Gods world...

Arnav stared at her while the others finally turned to the light. The crowd looked at the mesmerizing girl in awe. She was divine.. She lifted her shy lids from the ground and her wish was granted.. She saw what she needed. Her eyes fell straightly on Arnav who looked at her dumbstruck.

Sajde kiye hain laakhon
Laakhon duayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

I bowed a millions of times
I prayed a millions of times
Then I attained you

The dancers started their performance, roaming around the hall to the stage while the lady of the night began descending the stairs not letting Arnav away from her eye sight.

Chahat ki teri maine
Haqq mein hawayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe 

I desired you
I asked for the wind
Then I attained you

She reached down.. and Payal rushed to her and gave her a hug. On seeing how beautiful her princess was looking, Payal’s eyes welled up. Khushi broke the eye lock and brought her attention to teary Payal. She bowed down her head as Payal kissed her forehead. Viren and Nanaji joined her and escorted her to the stage while Arnav’s eyes followed her.

Tujhse hi dil yeh behla
Tu jaise kalma pehla
Chahun na phir kyun main tujhe 

My heart is slipped because of you
You are like the first word
Then why shouldn't I love you

Jis pal na chaha tujhko
Uss pal sazayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

The moment I don't desire you
I asked punishments for myself
Then I attained you

All the way.. she had her back facing Arnav but she was conscious of his glare on her.. Her heartbeats ran faster and she was nervous. On one side there was Arnav to whom she wanted to rush to while on the other hand she was walking to the stage for her engagement with Viren.

Sajde kiye hain laakhon
Laakhon duayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

I bowed a millions of times
I prayed a millions of times
Then I attained you

They reached the stage and she turned to face the crowd while Payal helped her to sit on the chair. Viren sat next to her and Nanaji and Payal stood to their side watching the performance on the other stage. But her heart went restless as Arnav was out of site... The lyrics in her mind but she spared not a single glance towards the dancers as she scanned the hall for Arnav.

Jaane tu sara woh dil mein jo mere ho
Padh le tu aankhein har dafa

You know everything that is in my heart
You read everything that is in my eyes

Jaane tu sara woh dil mein jo mere ho
Padh le tu aankhein har dafa
You know everything that is in my heart
You read everything that is in my eyes

Nakhre se na ji bhi hote hain raazi bhi
Tujhse hi hote hain khafa

I have my whims and I agree with you as well
I get angry also with you only

She finally spotted him leaning against a pole.. his arms crossing to his chest. He smiled at his beautiful fiancé and winked at her naughtily. She smiled at him forgetting her restlessness for a moment. They both stared at each other..

Jaane tu baatein saari
Katt ti hain raatein saari
Jalte diye se ann bujhe

You know everything
My nights pass like an un extinguishing
Lighting lamp

Uth uth ke raaton ko bhi
Teri wafayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

I got up at nights
And asked for your faithfullness
Then I attained you

Sajde kiye hain laakhon
Laakhon duayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

I bowed a millions of times
I prayed a millions of times
Then I attained you

The dancers came down the stage and danced in the hall.. Two dancers, a guy and a lady ran to the stage to Khushi and Viren and forced them to come down. Viren and Khushi began swaying on the music. She was in the arms of Viren but her heart and her eyes searched for Arnav who went missing in the crowd.

Chahat ke kaajal se kismat ke kaagaz pe
Apni wafaayein likh zara

Write your love with the color of love
On the paper of destiny

Chahat ke kaajal se kismat ke kaagaz pe
Apni wafaayein likh zara

Write your love with the color of love
On the paper of destiny

Bole zamana yun
Main tere jaisi hoon
Tu bhi to mujhsa dikh zara
The world says that
I am like you
You too look like me

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him few steps away from her while his eyes followed her every move.

Mera hi saaya tu hai
Mujh mein samaya tu hai
Har pal yeh lagta hai mujhe
You are my shadow
You are inside me
I feel like this every moment
Khud ko mitaaya maine
Teri balaayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

I eradicated myself
I asked your problems on me
Then I attained you

The dancers came to Viren and Khushi and dragged them back to the stage.

Chahe tu chahe mujhko
Aisi adaayein maangi
Paaya hai maine phir tujhe

You should love me
I asked for such charm
Then I attained you

As the music came to its end, she was nervous... and she turned towards Arnav. She tried hard not let her tears appeared to anyone.. But Arnav knew what her heart was going through. Payal elbowed her to bring her attention back. Viren was standing in front of her and she gulped her breath in fear as Payal handed the ring to Viren.

Payal: Khushi kya soch rahe ho.. apna haath aage karo na! (Khushi What are you thinking.. bring your hand ahead!)

She turned to the crowd but Arnav was not there.. She looked in every corner... He was missing.. She couldn’t do this.. She was still wearing the ring Arnav put into her fingers.. and she will be shattered if they forced her to take it off. Her heart cried for Arnav to come and save her. Suddenly Payal held her arms and brought her fingers ahead, she turned towards her babhi worriedly while Payal nodded in disbelief..

Payal: Khushi tu bi na.. Yeh ring finger hai.. tum yeh ring nikaldo.. aur Viren tujhe yeh pehnega.. (Khushi you.. this is the ring finger.. take off that ring.. and Viren will make you wear this one..)

She trembled while she brought her other hand to take off the ring. She felt like fainting.. She touched the ring on her ring finger and gulped her tears back. As she was about to slid the ring from her finger, her heartbeat stop when she heard...

ASR: Don’t Khushi!

His voice echoed from the speakers.. Her eyes popped out and she looked towards the crowd.. Every guest turned around while a confused Nanaji and Payal looked straight ahead where Arnav was standing holding a mike. Khushi stared into his eyes and he said with a confidence...

ASR: Don’t take the ring off Khushi.. Don’t do it!
