part 15 - Meeting the Family
Khushi was awake since 6 am. She helped all the prakash brothers to clean the house, even the snacks she made by herself. Payal also helped her with the cleaning. They wanted shantivaan to shine for this day.
8 AM
Arnav just got ready and walked down the stairs. He looked at the whole family decorating, cleaning and cooking. All were awake now. He went to nani.
„Good morning nani."
Nani finished talking to hari prakash and turned around.
„Good morning chotte." said nani with a smile.
„Nani where is khushi?"
„In the kitchen, she's making snacks."
Arnav nodded and went to her. She was making jalebis, her favourites.
„Khauhi!"
She turned her head and saw her husband.
„Good morning, should i make you your coffee?"
She asked while turned her back to him and continued cooking.
„I'll make it." said arnav and made his black coffee by himself.
He stood next to her and and took a sip of his coffee.
„Why are you all so excited? Only the boys family are comming. Not the boy himself."
„Haan arnav ji, but-"
„Ji ?"
Khushi looked at him. He gave her his well known smirk and hugged her from behind.
„I thought you want to call me arnav, just arnav."
„H-haan..but i can't."
„Theek hain." he said and broke the hug.
„I have a suprise for you."
„Suprise? Kya?" asked khushi excited.
„I'll tell you tonight."
„But arnav ji.."
„Bye." he took his cup of coffee and walked away.
„Mph! Laad governer."
- EVENING -
Khushi was dressed in a green saree and finished the last decorations with payal.
„HI GUYS!!"
„LA!"
Khushi ran to her and hugged her tight.
„Arre wah! You look beautiful!"
"Thank you khushi." said lavanya smiling bright.
„You're going to be a beautidul bride!" she said touching her cheek.
Lavanya gave her a cracked smile. NK and she didn't get married. NK wanted to have his old khushi back, since the day she lost her child. He wanted to take a break for her. Khushi knew that lavanya waited enough now, she didn't want to be the one who stopped their wedding.
„La, i'm sorry that your wedding got broken..because of me.."
„No khushi! Your health is was matters, NK and i..actually we all wanted you back. We couldn't see you crying. You were always the one who learnt us how to smile, everyday. And make others smile, haina?"
Khushi nodded and lavanya hugged her again.
„I'm just happy that i have my sister back, everything is going to be fine now."
„Haan, the bad days are over now." said khushi and broke the hug.
„MOM! I'm dressed and ready for the guests!" screamed ayaan and ran down the stairs.
(Without the bag of course)
Khushi smiled at him and kissed his forehead.
„Hi la!" he said and hugged her.
„Hi ayaan."
„My son is looking handsome tonight." said khushi and ran her hand through his hair.
„MOM PLEASE! Dad needed 2 houres for this look.
„2 houres!" said khushi and looked at his outfit.
„Well, i think ASR forgot what style is." whispered lavanya in her ear.
Khushi giggled.
„Haan haan, laugh at him. But i'll tell him!"
In the next second ayaan ran to arshis room and screamed for his father.
„DAAD!!"
„AYAAN STOP!" khushi ran behind him.
Arnav who was getting ready for the guests heard their screams and opened the door. Just then ayaan bumped into him.
„Woo woo! Champion slow down, whats the matter?"
„Mom..she..she.."
„What? Did something happen?"
„ARNAV JI!" khushi bumped into arnav so that they both layed on the floor.
He looked up and her and she looked down at him.
„What's going on in this house?" asked arnav.
Khushi stood up and settled her saree and hair. Arnav also stood up and looked at ayaan who was out of breath.
„Koi bhaat nahi ayaan chal, go to NK chachu. Go." she said pushing him out and closing the door.
She turned around and saw her husband smirking.
„Kya hua?"
„Why are you wearing a green saree?"
Khushi looked at herself and then back at him.
„Kyun? Doesn't it look good?"
Arnav took some steps forward.
„It looks good, sarees really suit you. But i prefer red."
„Huh? Kyun?"
Arnav smiled and her and continued walking toward her till she hit the door. He came closer so that their bodies were touching. He came closer to her ear and khushi closed her eyes.
„Don't you want to know my suprise?" he whispered.
Khushi opened her eyes and looked at him.
„H-h-haan..w-what's t-the s-s-suprise?"
Arnav smiled at his nervous wife and took out two tickets.
„Two tickets." he said.
„For?" she took them and looked at them.
„Switzerland."
She looked at him. Switzerland? But why?
„Arnav ji..we just were in london. And the kids are starting with school now."
„I know khushi but, we're leaving alone. Just you and me. See it as mm.." he acted as if he would think.
„Our honeymoon?" he said smiling.
Khushi smiled back and looked at the tickets.
„But arnav ji..i mean.."
„Tomorrow morning we'll get our flight for 1 week."
„KAL?!" she asked shocked.
„Haan kyun?"
„Arnav ji! Di is getting married and lavanya & NKs wedding is going to be in a few days. I don't want them to wait longer."
„But khushi.."
„Arnav ji, i know this means a lot to you, to me too. But we have to think for the others. We can't just let them alone, they're our family. Remember, when we lost out child how the whole family was worried for me and did and let me do everything that i feel better?"
Arnav nodded.
„That's why we have to do the same now, we can't just leave them. Let's get them both married and then.." khushi said and layed her arms on his shoulder.
„We can go on our honeymoon."
Arnav smiled at her and she did the same.
„Theek hain, but first. Change your saree."
Khushi rolled her eyes and went to the wardrobe.
- FEW MINUTES LATER -
„Khushi are you ready the guests should be here in a second."
No answer.
„Khushi?" he looked at the washroom door and knocked at it.
„khushi! Are you okey?"
Again no answer. Now he really hot annoyed.
„Khu-"
But then suddenly the door opened and khushi came out in her red saree. She smiled and him.
„How do i look?"
„Beautiful."
He walked to her and kissed her forehead. Khushi felt so good, she was so happy to have arnav. She just looked at him and smiled.
„Kya hua?" asked arnav who saw the little tears in her eyes.
Khushi hugged him tight.
„I'm so happy to have you."
Arnav smiled and hugged her back.
„That's why you're crying?"
Khushi broke the hug chuckling and drying her eyes.
„I'm crying because i feel bad for the women who don't have such a good and warm hearted husband like i do."
Arnav smiled at her words.
„CHOTTE! KHUSHI BITIYA THEY'RE HERE!"
„Chale?"
Khushi nodded and they went down.
Finally! Nani was greeting the grandmother and his parents.
„Welcome to our house nandini ji." said nani smiling and folding her hands.
„Namaste devyani ji."
„Namaste ratna ji." said nani and looked at the grandmother.
Arnav's eyes got big. The woman had the same name as his mother.
„Namaste." said ratna folding her hands.
„This is manorama and my son."
„Namaste." said mami and mama.
„This is my grandson Akshay, his wife payal and their son aditya."
„Hello." said aditya waving at her.
Nandini and her husband smiled at him.
„Adtiya! Behave." said payal.
„Sorry."
„Koi bhaat nahi beta." said the grandmother.
„This is also my grandson Arnav, his wife khushi and their kids Ayaan and Muskaan."
„Namaste." Said arnav and khushi and the kids just folded their hands.
„Namaste." they said and smiled at them.
„This is our youngest Nandekishore and his fiance Lavanya."
„Namaste."
„Namaste."
„Devyani ji, i must say you really have a big family. I can't wait to get to know them all."
The raizadas smiled at her and they all went to the living room. Khushi, payal and lavanya went to the kitchen were di was preparing the chai.
„Di! The family is so cute!" said lavanya smiling.
„Haan! And you know aditya just said ‚hello' and the grandmother didn't even got angry." said payal.
Di just smiled at them nervous.
„Di..kya hua?" asked khushi.
„Nothing, i'm just nervous. What if they don't like me? I mean..when they see how i walk.."
„Stop it di!" said lavanya.
„Haan she's right. If they don't like you because of that then i myself kick them out of this house!" said khushi.
Di smiled and hugged her.
„Acha now dry your tears and serve the tea." said payal.
Di nodded and held the plate with the cups of tea. Khushi followed her with the rest of the cups and payal followed them with some snacks. Lavanya made the fruits ready for later.
Di walked to them and gave the eldest one the cup of tea first. Ratna smiled at her and took te cup of tea. Anjali smiled at her and gave the tea to nandini. She also smiled at her. Anjali gave the tea to ashish, the boys father.
Khushi gave the tea to the raizadas. She offered arnav the cup. Arnav who had muskaan on his lap didn't want it. Muskaan giggled.
„Sugar free hain." whispered khushi.
Arnav smiled at her and took the tea.
„Since you're giving it to me with so much love." he said taking the cup.
Khushi smiled and wanted to leave but arnav held her wrist. Khushis eyes got big and she wanted to free herself.
„Arnav ji..let me go. What will the guests think?"
„Tum meri wife ho, haq hain mera."
„Not infront of guests. Let me go."
She freed herself from his hold and walked back to the kitchen, arnavs eyes followed her while he smirked like a jerk.
„So, arnav singh raizada right?" asked ashish.
„Yes sir." said arnav smiling.
„I heard a lot about you."
„I hope only good things."
Ashish laughed and touched his shoulder.
„To be honest, your past isn't that good. All people around me said that ASR is arrogant and gets angry really fast."
Arnav chuckled.
„But now i think you changed, in a good way."
„All credit goes to my wife, she changed me." said arnav smiling.
They all smiled at him.
„But what do you work my son?" asked ratna.
Arnav looked at her smiling, just when he was about to say something ashish talked.
„Mother! He's indias biggest designer. He just won his first award in london right?"
Arnav nodded proudly. Khushi and the other girls listened to them from the kitchen.
„Arre wah! That's wonderful. My son, just stay like this but never forget your family. Your kids need you and most important is your wife."
Arnav smiled and nodded. „I will." he said and looked at his wife.
Khushi blushed and hid behind the wall. Arnav chuckled a little.
„Khushi bitiya!"
„Ji nani?"
„Call anjali bitiya here, i think they want to get to know her better."
Khushi nodded and looked at the nervous anjali.
„Di..don't worry, just be yourself." said khushi and brought her to them.
Anjali sat in the middle of the couch. To her right was ratna and to her left was nandini with her husband. They smiled at her and nandini touched her chin to look at her.
„How beautiful she is."
Anjali just smiled and looked down.
„Of course she is, she will be my sons wife. Bitiya, i know what you feel right now. But i'll tell you one thing. We love you like our own daughter, we will never let you feel any pain or sadness. The same goes for your daughter." said ratna.
Anjali looked at her and smiled.
„Where is radha actually?" asked nani.
„Nani..she's in her room. You know how she is." khushi said.
„Don't worry, i'll bring her." said arnav and went to her room.
He knocked at her door.
„Kaun hain? Just leave me alone."
„Radha it's me." said arnav.
He heard some steps and she slowly opened the door. She looked at him.
„Are you alone?"
Arnav smiled at her.
„Haan."
She opened the door and he stepped in. She sat on her chair and continued drawing.
„what are you drawing now? Me again?"
„Ha ha ha..no. I'm just doing my homework."
„But radha, your school starts next week."
„I know but..since i don't have something else to do. I'm doing my homework."
„Radha look at me." said arnav and turned her chair so that she was facing him.
„I know your nervous about moms wedding. Maybe you're afraid because you think that we all forget you, but no. We'll never ever forget you and your mother. And look, you always wanted a father hm? Now you are getting a father and still you aren't happy? What do you want little lady?"
Radha chuckled at hislast sentence and he too.
„Come let's go down and show them taht you're a nice girl."
„Ok." she said and took his hand.
They both came down and they all looked at them.
„Here they are!" said mami smiling.
Radha touched their feet and greet them.
„Come here." said ratna and hugged her.
The raizads were happy to see them happy with anjali and radha. Radha sat next to anjali.
„Devyani ji, i want to take them with me now! I just fell in love with radha, like she's my own grandchild." said nandini.
They all smiled. Khushi had tears of joy in her eyes, arnav turned his head to her. He touched her hand for support, she looked at him and smiled.
„Ok, so now you know more about us. But tell us about your son now." said NK.
„Nandekishore!" said nani.
„Koi bhaat nahi devyani ji." said nandini.
„His name is Aryan. He's 30 years old and works as a writer. He is a very shy person, even to the fact that he travels a lot. He never thought about marriege because he was concentrated to his career, but now he told us to find him a nice girl. Heloves children more than anything in the world, when he has s day offhe often goes to the orphanage and spends time with kids." said nandini.
The raizadas, especially arnav, was impressed. He sounded like the perfect guy for di and the perfect father for radha.
„Wow! He's perfect!" said NK.
They all laughed a little.
„Well but he's notfoe you but for anjali." said nandini and looked at anjali.
„Can i ask you something?" asked arnav serious.
„Haan." said nandini.
„Can i meet him? I just want to know him better."
Nandini looked at her husband. They looked really tensed.
„Don't worry, i'll not beat him up or something. But he's marrying my sister and with her he's taking my niece. I just want to get sure." said arnav.
„Haan bitwa you're right. Pura haq hain tumhara." said ratna.
Arnav smiled.
„So it's good if yououkd give me his number so i can call him tomorrow."
„Haan bilkul. He comes topick us up. Ifyou wantyou can meet him tonight and he'll give you his number himself."
„Theek hain." said arnav.
-10 PM -
The kapoors enjoyed the evening with the raizadas, but now it was time to go home. They all said bye to each other. Only arnav accompanied them to their car.
Aryan was waiting for them and saw that arnav was also with them. He checkdd his hair in the mirror and opened the door. Arnav gave him a serious face and aryan gave him a cute smile.
„Good evening sir." said aryan and they shook hands.
„Aryan, this is arnav, anjalis younger brother." said nandini.
„Nice to meet you sir..i mean..it's my pleasure." said aryan nervous enough.
Arnav gave him a little smile.
„Nice to meet you to aryan. I actually just wanted to have your number, so that tomorrow i can call you and we'll get to know eachother better." said arnav.
„Of course sir, one second." said aryan and took out his mobile phone. He gave him his number and arnav saved it on his phone.
„Okey, so i'll call you tomorrow is that okey?"
„Yes sir! I'm free tomorrow."
„Good. Good night aryan."
„Good night sir." he said and they shook hands again.
Arnav looked at his parents. „Good night."
„Good night." they both said.
He looked at ratna and smiled.
„May i tell you something?" asked arnav.
„Haan." said ratna smiling.
„You have the same name as my mother, ratna."
Ratna smiled at him.
„I don't know if nani told you this but, Di and I..we lost our parents when we were young. Somedays i really wish my mother would be here with us. And now that i met you, i feel like my mother is closer to me."
Ratnas heart broke into pieces. She felt so bad for them, but now his words are making her cry. Not because he said something wrong but she felt happy, noone ever said such a thing to her. She touched his cheek.
„Good night my son."
„Good night." said arnav and helped her to get into the car.
