Chapter 24

It was early morning as the light streamed into the windows and there on the bed lied the two lovers who were tangled on the bed in each others arms. Khushi tightly secured in Arnavs arms and Arnav protectively holding her tightly. As Khushi opened her eyes she looked to her left to find the love of her life sleeping. His eyes shut his hair all messy and he looked so cute in his sleep. She smiled to herself and moved the flocks of hair that tickled his fore head. Then she remembered that she had a fight with him the day before. Anger started to wash over her face. They had such a silly argument and she was right. He had to let go of Shilleena a bit. She needed her wings to fly. She understood he was very protective and very concerned like any elder brother would be but that doesnt mean he catches her and keeps her in a tight grip. Ishaan was a really nice guy she could see how Shilleena was so attracted to him. She had to get her loves head straight.

Moving from the bed she slowly disentangled his arms from her waist and then got off the bed and made her way to the bathroom for a quick shower. There was lots to be done Lavanaya and Akash's sangeet ceremony was today They had a alot to do.

Meanwhile Arnav stirred in his sleep and looked towards Khushi's side to find the bed empty. This was the first time he never found her besides him in the morning and he had to admit that he hated it alot. It made him irritated and uneasy not seeing her by his side first thing in the morning. Then it struck him that they had a fight last night. He rubbed his eyes in irritation and frustration. He had to sort Khushi out this was ridiculous he thought all he was doing was protecting his younger sister. He didnt want to see her hurt. Why couldnt Khushi understand that he thought to himself.

Getting up from the bed he had made up his mind to first sort things out with Khushi he didnt like it even one bit that she was upset with him. He got ready and went down to the breakfast table to find it full. There was laughter filled in the palace and it looked lively and light. Smiling faces running around and enjoying the morning it truely looked like a palace that was about to have a wedding. All the women eyed him and giggled all of them but except one and that was the love of his life Khushi. Where was she ?? He searched every where for her but couldnt find her and it was driving him crazy. Nani came from behind and tapped him. He turned around and looked at her all confused and lost

Nani: Chottey what happened are you ok

Arnav: Ha yeah Nani I am fine.... Where is Khushi have you seen her since morning

Nani: (smiled) Khushi betiya she is in the veranda decorating it before the guests arrive. Chottey I must say you have chosen a gem of a girl she is so nice. I am happy to have her as part of our family (she smiled playfully)

Arnav: (smirked back. So she managed to win Nani's heart  he was happy) Thanks Nani yes Khushi is a gem (he smiled) I must be going now

Nani nodded and Arnav left from there and headed towards the veranda. He searched the whole place and cursed himself for having built such a big place what was he thinking he smacked himself. It was difficult to find any one in such a huge place. But have circled the whole veranda he was left with nothing no sign of Khushi and his heart now started to get more irritated. One of the servant girls passed by he stopped her and ask

Arnav: have you seen Khushi

Girl: Khushiji Your majesty she is near the garden lake setting up for tonight dinner

Arnav nodded and took an about turn and then went off to the lake garden as he was walking there he remembered their secret fantasy they had under the water fall. A smirk appeared on his face. As he reached the place he looked around for her but still no trace of her. He managed to spot Akash who went to him all lost and confused and said

Akash: Arnav good your here man. I need your help tell me how I look

Arnav: (completely lost said) Hah u look fine Akash have you see Khushi

Akash: Khushi she is probably with Lavanaya getting her ready. Arnav I am so freaking nervous i cant believe that I am getting married

Arnav: Akash I can understand but right now Its important for me to look for Khushi

Saying that he headed of into the palace and up to Lavanaya's room to look for her. When he entered the room he saw Shilleena and Lavanaya looking at all the jewelry on the bed. Lavanaya smiled at him and Shilleena got up

Shileena: Bhai whats up how come your here

Arnav: Where is Khushi

Lavanaya: She is not here Arnav all ok

Arnav: Dammit where the hell is she (he yelled irritated)

Shilleena: Calm down Bhai.. (she said softly) Did you check the Kitchen

And thats when it struck Arnav off course the kitchen how could he have not checked it before. He mentally hit himself she is upset so she must be making jalebi's... How could he be so stupid

He left from the room and went down to the kitchen avoiding every one who crossed his path as he entered there she was right infront of him standing next to the stove and twirling around in the big kadhai cursing him for fighting with her. He stayed back to see what she was mumbling to her self

Khushi:  Hey devi maya its already mid day and that khadoos laad governor hasnt even seen me. Here I am frustrated that I havent seen him since morning and he doesnt even care. (she cribbed to herself)

Arnav slowly went ahead and then caught her by the waist taking her by surprise. She ghasped as she felt his hands coil around her. He rested his head on her shoulders and then said in a husky voice.

Arnav: Who said I dont care... Do you know how irritated I was because I havent seen you since morning (he replied in her ear sending shivers down her)

Khushi: (took a deep breath stabilizing herself she said) Arnavji You dont care you didnt come looking for me (she said accusing him)

Arnav: What the!! Khushi ask every one in the palace where all I have been since morning the first thing I did is search for you. I went every where the lake the veranda up to Lavanaya's room... And then finally I came here to you.

Khushi: You search the whole palace for me (she asked cutely)

Arnav: Off course I did. I was miserable when I didnt find you by my bed side. (he said angry)

Khushi: (turning around placed her dough like paws on his chest and he had still held her she pouted and then said cutely) Serves you right... Arnavji I am angry with you

Arnav: (he raised her chin and then said) Khushi why are we fighting come on all I am doing is protecting my younger sister is there something wrong in that

Khushi: No there isnt I understand your insecurities but I also understand Shilleena as well. She is young and a growing princess. She is beautiful and wise. Trust her give her a chance to choose the one she wants to be with.

Arnav: And what if the one she chooses hurts her (he asked her)  Then what I dont want even a tear drop to fall from my baby sister eyes. (he said softly)

Khushi: (caressed his cheeks softly and then said) It wont I promise give Ishaan a chance and see what he is. May be he is the guy for her. Arnavji trust her and give her the freedom.. I am not saying we should let her be all alone all I am saying is that we should step down and give her some space. (she explained calmly with a smile)

Arnav: (kissed Khushi's hand and then said) Ok Khushi may be your right I will give him a chance but that doesnt mean I wont keep a close watch on him I am watching him like a hawk.

Khushi: (laughed at him and then said) Hmm yeah I expected you to say that...

Arnav raising his eye brows and caught hold of her and swooped down and captured her rosy lips. She fell into a trace and surrendered to him completely spell bound....

Chapter 23

They were in the garden sitting and chatting away talking and discussing in general.Arnav was on close watch with Ishaan something felt fishy with him. He couldn't put a finger on it and didn't want to make a big deal of it as yet. Nani was curious of Khushi she seemed like a nice child and well mannered and well behaved but she too wanted to be sure of things.

Ishaan: You know Arnav Nani told me so much about you and your sister (he smiled)

Arnav: Oh really what did she say (he raised his eye brows)

Ishaan: Oh you know how good you are at being a king, she told me you have interest in hunting and gardening. would it be ok if we go hunting once. (he suggested)

Arnav: Sure why not if you can keep up then yeah (he said taunting)

Khushi nudged Arnav what was wrong with her silly fiancé why was he behaving like that. Akash and Lavanaya were mixing around Shilleena blushed like crazy for Ishaan and Nani observed the youngsters. Then Shilleena said

Shilleena: Prince Ishaan do you have any hobbies

Ishaan: (smiled) Call me Ishaan and yes I do I love battling with swords its one of my favorite pass times

Khushi : How interesting.

Ishaan: Yeah i practice with the solders in my kingdom its so much fun. My father thought hoe to use the sword

Arnav: Perhaps we can battle once and see how is better (he said irritated)

Ishaan: Sure why not (he smiled) I would love to battle you but be aware Arnav i am a master of blades

Akash: Oh i am sure you are but Arnav here is not only the master of blades but a good defender and worthy opponent, you should see him work with the shield.

Ishaan: (gearing up playfully said) This will be a fun match then

Arnav: Indeed it will. (he got up from the chair and said) Khushi i am going i have important meeting with the subjects of the kingdom i will be back.

Khushi nodded and then he said bye to nani and Akash went with him as well. Lavanay took off for some wedding matters and Nani said she wanted to sleep. Khushi Ishaan and Shilleena took off for a short tour of the palace to show Ishaan around.

Ishaan: so Arnav seems a bit strict

Shilleena: dont mind him he is always like that. but he is the best you know

They giggled and then Khushi said

Khushi: You know my Arnavji is one hell of a nut from outside as hard as ever and from inside he is a softy. (she blushed)

Shilleena: Oho My Arnavji and all ha so cute (she teased)

Ishaan: You and Arnav are going to be married

Khushi blushed and nodded and then Ishaan said

Ishaan: Thats nice but how I mean he seems so khadoos and your so bubbly

Shileena: that the magic of love you know they are opposites and they attract

Ishaan: Really love plays weird games. When i came here 2day i never knew i would meet so many beautiful people but out of all of them one of them was the most prettiest (he smirked at Shilleena)

Shilleena blushed and Ishaan smiled back and Khushi noticed the two love birds and was so surprised she quickly made an excuse saying she needs to go because she wanted to give them time to spend together alone. First things first she had to sort her Arnav out and tell him. Oh this was going to be so exciting she thought

Arnav was in the study looking over some scrolls when she ran into the room and locked the door. he looked up and said

Arnav: Khushi what happened

Khushi came towards him she held his hand and looked at him with a big smile and said

Khushi: Arnav oh i am so excited

Arnav: (smirked) Oh and why is that (he said hugging her taking her in his arms)

Khushi: Our shilleena is in love (she said happily)

Arnav: (gasped)  What the!!

Khushi: (slapped his chest and said) Oho Arnav your baby sister is falling in love

Arnav: (shocked) yeah i heard that but with who and how do you know

Khushi: (pulling him said) Come here sit with me i will tell you i am so excited

She pulled him towards the chairs and then made him sit down and then started to speak to him

Khushi: Our Shilleena she has a crush of Prince Ishaan and I think Ishaan likes her back

Arnav's eyes grew big and anger started to grow in him he was shocked and Khushi unknown told him and started to blabber

Khushi: You know he was looking at Shilleena all throughout and then when we were alone he called her the pretties and she blushed like crazy i am telling you they are made for each other

Arnav who was quite suddenly yelled

Arnav: Shut up Khushi!!

Khushi stopped and looked at him confused

Khushi: What happened (she asked confused)

Arnav: My sister is falling for a cheat and you think this is good (he said in anger)

Khushi: (shocked) How do you know he is a cheat

Arnav: Look at him he is so weird and so chilled out something strange about him (he said angry)

Khushi: Arnav he a happy go lucky guy and he is perfect for Shilleena (she reasoned with him)

Arnav: No he is not he is the wrong guy for her I am not going to let this happen she is my baby sister

Khushi: Arnav she is going to fall in love one day with some one and Ishaan is a nice guy Nani knows him she will never object to this

Arnav: (gripping khushi said) Khushi you dont understand i know guys like these he is after Shillena for her money thats what it is

Khsuhi: (freeing herself) Your wrong Arnav he is not like that. I know you are protecting your sister but believe me he seems like a nice guy

Arnav: No I will not agree to this till i have done a check on him

Khushi: (in anger got up and said) Fine then do what you want

Saying that she left the room in anger and Arnav was in anger to, That night they both didn't speak to each other because each had their now theory on what is right.

Chapter 22

Khushi woke up to the sun light. She smiled seeing her fiancé sleeping next to her. It felt so good to call him that. Soon he would be her husband that would sound even more better. Her smile widened as she pecked his lips to wake him up. Arnav felt her soft plump lips place on his hard ones and an instant smile came on his face. Slowly he opened his eyes and saw the most beautiful woman on the planet his Khushi. She smiled back at him and said in a sleepy voice.

Khushi: Wake up sleepy head

Arnav: (smirked) Good morning

He said while he pulled her exposed body over his. He clasped his arms around her and she was on top of him. She kissed his cheek and said

Khushi: Arnavji let me go i have to go down

Arnav: What the !! Khushi no way your staying right her in my arms close to me. I am not letting you go any where (he smirked cutely)

Khushi looked at him he looked so cute with that smirk she couldn't say no. She looked at him and then slapped him lightly on his chest and Arnav said

Arnav: What was that for (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: You know i can't resist that smirk of yours. It melts me

Armav: (smirked more and flipped her body now he was over her and she was under him) Is that so then I should smirk more often

Khushi: (rolled her eyes) Ok I guess I could sleep for some more time.

Arnav: Thats better

Saying that he rested his head on her chest and they cuddled for a little while in each other feeling each others warmth and each others love. Khushi prayed that this magic never ever ended.

They were in their little world of love when suddenly they heard a knock on their door. Both looked up at each other this was unexpected and then Arnav asked

Arnav: Who is it

Servant: Sir its me Raghu

Arnav: Wh yard you disturbing me what happened.

Raghu: Sir Actually i came to tell you Naniji is here she is waiting down for you

Arnav and Khushi both looked at each other and then Arnav said

Arnav: Ok tell her i will be down

Raghu left from there and Khushi asked

Khushi: You have a Nani really i never knew

Arnav: Well yeah she doesn't stay here with us. She is the Queen of the neighboring kingdom.

Khushi nodded but looked a bit frightened

Arnav: What happened (he noticed)

Khushi: what if she doesn't like me (sad)

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) She will love you (he lifted her chin) I am sure of that.

Khushi nodded they changed into their clothes and walked down Khushi took a deep breath and then Arnav assured her everything would be ok she smiled and they walked in to the hall. There was an old woman who stood their with her arms open as she saw Arnav. She had a big smile on her face. Arnav hugged her and said

Arnav: Welcome Nani

Nani: Chottey its so good to see you.

Arnav: Like wise

Khushi stood behind Arnav she was nervous as hell Nani noticed her and then asked

Nani: And who is she

Arnav looked back at Khushi He smiled and gave a hand out to her she came forward and was about to introduce Khushi when Shilleena said in an excited voice

Shilleena: I will tell you Nani she is Khushi She is bhais future wife (she said with a smile)

Nani smiled as she heard the news and then Shilleena came forward and hugged nani saying hi. Khushi blushed and looked down. Then Nani came to Khushi she looked at her closely she was beautiful and pretty and she figured why her grand son fell for her. She smiled and said in a happy voice.

Nani: Welcome to the family betiya

Khushi smiled and hugged her she was happy to be accepted by the elders of the family. Akash and Lavanaya came and greeted nani. Nani announced that she was here to attend the wedding of both her grandsons. Nani treated Akash as her own. She also said that she has brought a special guest with her. who will be arriving soon enough for the function.

They all ate lunch and spoke for a while with each other Nani tried to understand Khushi she was happy that her grandson was getting married she just wanted to be sure that it was with the right girl. Khushi had figured that out and so she decided that she would go out of her way to impress her so that she is accepted in the family.

It was around evening when they were all sitting in the garden and drinking tea when suddenly they heard a big loud noise and music in the background. Some one was singing. They all looked at each other and thats when Arnav said

Arnav: What the !! who the hell is that

Shilleena: I dont know (she asked confused)

Khushi: I think we should check

they all got up and went to the balcony that over looked the city and they were shocked to what they saw next. There was a big elephant that walked down the street and top of him was a strange looking guy who sung the most absurd lyrics and thats All of them looked from one another. The elephant headed towards the palace. The guards didn't open until Arnav gave the green signal. When the gates opened the elephant made its way and behind him there were people holding plates. Big huge plates with clothes on them.

Akash: Who the hell is this mad guy

Lavanaya: I dont know he seems kind of cute (she teased)

Akash rolled his eyes

Khushi: BUt what does he want Arnavji go talk to him

Arnav: Yeah Thats what i can't future out either.

They all went to the gates where the elephant stood with the strange man and the people. The palace gates closed. The man got off the elephant he smiled at the royal family and then said

Man: Did my girl friend miss me (he said with a smile)

Arnav: What the (he raised his eye brows)

Nani who was behind all this while came front her arms were open and then she smiled at the strange man and said

Nani: Ishaan beta you came

Ishaan: How could i not come you called for me (he said happily as he bent down to touch her feet)

The rest just looked so confused and then Nani said

Nani: Chottey this is my special guest. He is Prince Ishaan (she smiled) He is the prince of my kingdom  he is my sister in law's sons child.

Arnav shook hands with him and then Ishaan was introduced to the rest of the family. The last one he was introduced too was to Shilleena. Nani said

Nani: Ishaan this is my grand daughter Princess Shilleena

Ishaan looked at her she was beautiful and looked so cute and innocent he was smitten by her. Shilleena gave out one of her cutest smiles. She found Ishaan to be cute to. Ishaan grabbed hold of her hand and kissed it. Arnav was about to react when Khushi held him and then Ishaan said

Ishaan: Please to meet you princess

Shilleena: (Smiled) Please to meet you

Arnav could notice something fishy in him and when he kissed his sisters hand he was sure that something is not right. Arnav was about to stop him when Khushi held him back controlling him.

Nani told everyone to come inside they all left Arnav had a close watch on Ishaan and Ishaan was just being his happy go lucky self. 

Chapter 21

Thye were walking along the beach hand in hand. Arnav picked his fiancé up in his arms and carried her back to the main area of the palace. Khushi was blushing and giggling away she told him

Khushi: Arnavji what are you doing what if some one sees us 

Arnav: (raised his eye brows and smirked) What am I doing I am only picking my future wife in my arms. 

Khushi: (blushed) Stop it. put me down. What will Akash bhaya say if he sees us like this 

Arnav: I am the king incase your forgetting and I am carrying my future queen in my arms no one can say a word. 

Khushi: (looked shocked and then said) Queen. What do you mean 

Arnav put her down as they reached their chamber. Khushi headed to the balcony and Arnav held her from behind and then said

Arnav: Yeah Queen. I mean if we get married you will be the queen of the kingdom. 

Khushi: (confused) I can't be the queen 

Arnav: Why not (he raised his eye brows) Your future husband is the king and you will be the queen. 

Khushi: But how (she looked at him lost) I dont know what to do. I mean what does a queen do, I dont want to screw up Arnavji. The people will have lots of faith in me and if I let them down then what (she said sad)

Arnav: (cuddled her and kissed her neck and said) You will be a fine Queen. Dont worry I have faith in you and so will the people. I promise 

Khushi: Are you sure (she looked at him for assurance)

Arnav: Positive (he blinked his eyes and said truthfully) You will make a fine queen because your nature is very giving and loving and the people will surely benefit from you. Khushi I have lots of faith in you and I will be there all the way by your side just like you will be besides me 

Khushi now convinced that she could do it. She hugged him back and rested her head on his chest. He smiled and kept kissing her fore head. Then finally after a while he picked her up into his arms and placed her on the bed. She looked into his deep orbs he sat on the bed. 

She pulled him down towards her getting rid of his shirt. He rested on her and began to kiss her neck. Khushi roamed her hands all over his back. She caressed his back while he kissed her and it turned him on so much. Suddenly an idea popped in her head she gave out a cute smile. Arnav didn't notice he was too busy playing with her breasts. She continued to caress his back and slowly she slipped her hand down his pants and caressed his ass. He looked up at her with a shock not expecting her to do that. She squeezed his ass check and he raised his eye brows. She looked at him with a soft smile and a blush. 

Arnav: What was that 

Khushi: Did you not like it 

Arnav: (smirked) I loved it I just didn't expect it 

Khushi: (pressed his cheek once more and then said) Thats the beauty of love you never expect just get surprised My King (she smirked) I never expected you to propose but you did. (she gave out a cute smile)

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Really well then get ready to be more surprised tonight My Queen.

Khushi blushed and turned the other way her hand still on his ass she pressed it now and then every time he bit her and she got a jerk. 

They made love all night. After he kissed her all over he turned her around she looked at him confused He promised to surprise her and so he made her crouch on the bed. And in a swift moment he inserted his hardness into her softness from behind. Khushi moaned and moaned in pleasure for him he really had surprised her a lot. They had an amazing night after they were down they both got back on the bed Arnav rested his head in to middle of her breasts and she held on to him as tight as she could. The night was perfect. 

Chapter 20

As they sat on the beach and saw the sun go down and night fall into the sky. Arnav cuddled Khushi they laid down  on the sand. It was quite and the only sound that they could hear was the ones of the waves that hit upon the sand. The soft waves created a romantic atmosphere.  Stars filled into the sky shinning as bright as ever. They looked down at the two inseparable lovers and sparkled. Khushi cuddled into Arnav feeling his warmth and protection. It made her feel safe and wanted. There was silence among the two lovers until Khushi said

Khushi: Arnavji the stars are also shinning brightly looking at us. (she said softly)

Arnav: Hmm (he kissed her fore head)

Khushi: Arnavji can i tell you a secret (she said cutely)

Arnav: (looked down at her and then said) tell me

Khushi: You know what I think. I think the stars are the people who die and leave us

Arnav: Khushi thats silly how is that possible

Khushi: (Slapped his stomach and said) It is why not. When they die they go to devi maya and she turns them into stars. then they look down at us and shine brightly. (she pointed at the sky to 3 brightly shinning stars and then says in a soft tone) See like those

Arnav: (looks at the stars and then looks at her she seems sad he asks) All 3 of them

Khushi nodded slowly and a tear came out of her eyes and then she said in a soft voice.

Khushi: Every time I look at the stars I remember them. They were everything to me. (she sniffed a small sob)

Arnav: They were your parents

Khushi: And my sister too. They died when i was 8 years old Arnavji and I was all alone after that. there was no one for me. I stayed in the orphanage for a while. They never treated me well there. The warden would hit us and hurt us if we never did the chores properly. (she cried remembering those crucial days) At that time when i was sad I would look up at the stars and think of my parents.

Arnav: (got up from the sand and pulled her up and wiped her tears and hugged her tightly) I never knew that  you were part of an orphanage when i checked they told me that you grew up in that house by the river.

Khushi: I ran away there after i couldnt take it any more at the orphanage. I decided to run away i was 16 at that time. I came towards the river an old blind lady gave me a place to stay. I told her that i would help her run her house and do all her errands if she let me stay at the house near the river for 4 years i lived with her. She was a kind lady but her son was a devil. He tried to touch me one day but the blind lady heard me scream and came and stopped him saying that if he touched me she would not give him the property that she owned. (she said while crying) He saidd he wouldn't touch me but still he would hit me with his belt every day. (she wiped her tears) The old lady died one night and son got the property on his name. He left the very next day for another town. I had no where else to stay so i continued staying in that house. Until I found you and you brought me here.

Arnav was shocked after hearing her whole story. He never knew that his Khushi had to go through so much when she was small. He had no idea what she had to face. He cursed his fate for not knowing her before. If she knew her back then he would have never let her go through all this. he would have hugged her tightly an kept her away from the world. Safe in his arms where no body could dare to even touch her. What amazed him was that in spite of going through all this she still remained happy and kind. He bent infront of her she looked at him shocked to see his head down and then he said

Arnav: I bow down to you today

Khushi looked shocked she never knew why he is doing this Arnav continued

Arnav: I swear I dont know from where you get so much of strength from. After going through  so much you still are so happy and kind to other. How Khushi ?? How

Khushi: (chuckled and held his shoulders and said) Your forgetting Arnavji my name is Khushi how can I ever be sad. (then she paused and then took his hand in hers and then said) You will never leave me na

Arnav: (looked into her eyes, he says in a husky voice) No never I would never leave you. I would be incomplete with out you. Your my everything. Life without you would be impossible Khushi (he pulled her into a warm and tight hug. He could feel Khushi's heart beat faster) I love you

Khushi: (cried on his chest and sobbed and said) I love you too Arnavji.

After hugging for a while he broke the hug and then said to her.

Arnav: Khushi I want to take you some where will you come with me

Khushi smiled and nodded and then he got up and helped her up. They held hands and walked at the end of the beach. They reached a room Arnav opened it with a key The door lead to steps. It was dark. Arnav lit a match and then held Khushi's hand. She was confused. She asked

Khushi: Where are we going Arnavji.

Arnav: You will see. (he said with a smile)

Then they walked down the steps that lead them to a room. Khushi looked around and was amazed. She could see the sea over her all around her. She could see fish swimming in different colors. Dolfins flitting about. and killer whales playing with each other. The sight was beautiful Khushi had never ever seen anything like that. She looked at Arnav for answers and Arnav said

Arnav: I made this room. You know when i was sad and lonely I would come her, I like to see the fish swim it gives me peace. The serene noises of sea life calms me down. (He paused and then asked) Do you like it

Khushi: (eyes sparkled and she said) I like it. Arnavji I love it (she said with a smile)

Arnav: Its yours from now on. You can come here when ever you like

Khushi smiled at him she was about to say something else when Arnav said

Arnav: There is one more thing

Khushi: What (she asked confused)

Arnav took a deep breath his heart started to pound he was ready. He bent down on one knee and took her hand in his. there was silence. The only noises were from the fishes. he looke into her eyes. Khushi's heart was also beating and then he said in a husky voice

Arnav: Marry me

Khushi looked at him shocked. She never expected him to say that. It was unbelievable. She thought he would never get married because of his past but here his is asking her she blushed deeply. He removed a ring from his pocket and said to her

Arnav: I know your shocked that i am asking you this. But today when you called me your husband and the father of your future children I slipped. Khushi i felt a warmth spread within me. I want that life for us. I want this life for you Khushi. I promise I will always take care of you love you and I promise we will make a family together. We will have children. we will belong to each other till the end of time.

Khushi: (blushed at his every word, she made him stand up holding his hands she said with a soft smile) Yes I will marry you. Arnavji today is the best day of my life. I promise you Arnavji I will always stand by you know matter what. Even if you keep telling what the all the time. (she chuckled) I will always be your support. I promise you My love

Arnav smiled back. he made her wear the ring. Khushi's heart started to pound. He was also no less he could feel the warmth spread through him. He picked her up swiftly out of excitement and twirled her around in happiness. She laughed and laughed holding him. Her dream was complete. Her Arnavji and she would now have a happy family together. They would be perfect. Arnav vowed to never let Khushi go through any more pain.

They walked back to the beach hand in hand. as the waves pulled in to the sand creating the soft romantic noise and the stars shone ever so brightly and this time there were 5 stars that shone brightly.

He is a 20 years old smart handsome young prince who is always up for adventure and fun. he is a prankster and a fun loving her person. He is full of masti and life very loyal and loving extremely friendly. He has come to attend the wedding. Arnav does not like him when he finds out that he has feelings for his sister. He puts him through various tests so that he scares him away. Shileena will fall in love with him and side him always. Khushi will help him and Shileena convince Arnav that he is the best life partner for his sister and she will be happy with him.

Also apart from that few more characters there will be new villains in the story as Shyam track is over. I will not disclose that plot because i want it to be a surprise ;) 

Chapter 19

Khushi was up early morning as the birds woke her. It was a bright sunny morning. She was ready and all excited to start the wedding preparations. She lay on Arnav's chest deciding on her agenda for the day. The wedding had 2 be a perfect one. She is lay in bed talking 2 herself

Khushi: Ok so I have to finish making Akash bhaya's and Lavanayaji's clothes. Their clothes will come from those silly tailors for the mehndi sangeet and haldi function. For the main event they will wear the clothes that I made. (she smiled) Shilleena said she will help so I think I will put her on decoration she really has a knack of taking things and making them preety. The cooks will be told 2 prepare mithai for the guest.

Arnav who was fast asleep woke up with the chattering of his girl friend. As he lazily opened his eyes he saw her talking to herself. She looked cute. He kissed her forehead and she looked up at him and said

KHushi: Oh good Arnavji Your up. I have alot of work 2 do. I am going down

She got off his chest seating herself on the bed she was about to go. When he pulled her back down and she came stumbling on him. She shrieked and asked

Khushi: Arnavji let go I have alot to do

Arnav: Oh no your not going anywhere understood. Not until you kiss me

Khushi: (rolled her eyes and pecked his lip and said) R you happy now

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) No not at all. Khushi this is not done. (he said in grumpy manner) What happened to my morning kisses, This Akash's wedding has driven you crazy

Khushi smiled at him he was still grumpy, she turned his face and then slowly placed her lips on his. He was taken by surprise. She adjusted her body on top of him not letting go. He snaked his arms around her waist and then they began kissing. He parted his mouth she darted in. He twirled his tongue around her hers and she danced with him. Slowly softly passionately they kissed each other good morning. Finally she let go breathing heavily on him. He smiled and she smiled back.

Khushi: Now is my prince happy

Arnav: (smirked) Yeah

Khushi pecked him once more and then went down to complete her chores for the wedding. Arnav lay in bed watching the ceiling still smiling.

The day passed by and Khushi was all over the place. She had put every one on the job. Shilleena was doing the decorations. The servants were cooking mithai. Khushi was shuffling between the clothes and the kitchen. There was alot happening. Arnav tried to get a hold of her but couldnt. He went into her room in the afternoon and she was a mess sitting on the sowing machine. She spoke to him only for a minute. Then she went down to the kitchen. In the evening she was helping Shileena. Arnav was getting irritated with that. She was too busy for him. In the night when she came to his bed chamber she requested him that they wont make love tonight she was too tired. She just got into bed and fell asleep.

A few days passed Khushi was going more and more busy. Arnav was ok not making love in the night. He was a reasonable man he knew there would be days they wouldn't make love. What upset  him more was that she had no time for him. He was a king he was suppose 2 be the busiest man but it seems it was his princess that was so busy.

He was in the study when Akash knocked on the door

Akash: Arnav can I come in

Arnav: Yeah come

Akash came in and the two boys sat together.

Akash: Tomorrow it all starts I cant believe it the wedding is come so near, Finally I cant wait

Arnav: (still in thought said) Yeah I know me 2

Akash: What (asked confused)

Arnav: (asked back raising his eye brows)  What

Akash: Why are you waiting for the wedding (he asked puzzled)

Arnav: (hesitated and said) Its just Khushi is so into your wedding that she doesnt spend time with me any longer.

Akash: (paused and then said) I know I have seen her running around about with so much in her hands.

Arnav: (looked at Akash and said) Yeah but you know she is excited for you wedding thats why she is doing all this.

Akash smiled

They chatted for a while and then Akash left. He was walking down the steps when he came across Khushi

Khushi: Akash Bhai good I found you. I have finished your kurta and Lavanayaji's lengha

Akash: hmm. Khushi can I talk you

Khushi: Off corse tell me Akash bhai (she said sweetly)

Akash: (spoke sweetly) Khushi I know you are excited about the wedding and all and your doing a great job.

Khushi: Thank you I know You and Lavanayahi are going to love it (she said with a smile)

Akash: (smiled back) Yes we will biut Khushi dont forget your loved ones in this ok. I think you have been too busy. May be you should rest

Saying that he left from there leaving a confused Khushi. She thought of the passed few days how she and Lavanaya ran around in the wedding preps. She remembered spending time with Shileena. Akash bhai was always around. The only one left was Arnavji

She remembered how she has been ignoring him for the passed few days. How he was trying to spend time with her but she got carried away and dint reciprocate back to him. She mentally kicked herself.

She looked every where for him. The last place left was the beach. As she walked towards the beach she saw him sitting on the sand and looking at the waves come in. He was looking sad.

Khushi: (sad) OMG Khushi how could you ignore him.

She cursed herself.. She walked towards him and lay on the sand next to him. wrapping an arm around him he didnt look at her he continued to look straight.

Khushi: I am sorry (she said sadly)

He looked at her and then said softly

Arnav: for what I guess the wedding is more important (he said cold)

Khushi: No never. You are the most important thing.

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Really

Khushi: (cutely) Yes you are. You play the most important part in my life

Arnav: (folded his hands) How so

Khushi: You are my best friend. My lover. My baby. MY sex partner. My boy friend. My future husband. The father of my future child. (she said in one shot)

Arnav: (smiled at the way she cutely told him. then he pulled her close and then said) For saying all that you are forgiven

He kissed her as the sun went down. They sat on the beach in each others embrace enjoying the beautiful view  before them.
