The giggling sound of the ladies and the pinch on his cheeks by his di startled and brought him back from his shocked state.

Well, he facepalmed himself being presented as too enchanted by his bride's beauty.

Its not that its wrong either but then, he is confused as well.

What she does this girl intend now?

And wait..

Is it actually real or he just dreamt about it?

Khushi was actually descending the stairs, correction, she has descended the stairs and is now standing right infront of him and top most, she is smiling and blushing like an overexcited, elated bride.

I mean, What the?

She is truly, utterly crazy.

What does all these mean?

He looked at her who flickered her eye lashes at him dramatically making him frown and fume but he was too helpless to vent out his query or anger.

They were standing staring at each other and surprisingly Khushi's family and Lavanya were staring at them as well blinking their eyes in shock.

Anjali smiled being confused and walked towards them as the priest was waiting to being the wedding rituals.

Khushi's family came out of their shocked state and smiled awkwardly making Anjali frown and then smile.

Arnav was asked to come to the alter but he stayed still at his place having no idea what exactly to do or for what Khushi is actually here.

He needs to clear it and for that he needs to talk to her.

He stepped towards her only to find her picking up her lengha a little and walk rather run in a slow pace towards the alter, even before she was asked.

Arnav could just frown and mutter What the and then finally dragged by Lavanya to the alter.

Eventually, he felt like its actually him who is forced to marry and she is the willing one.

They were made to stand beside each other and all he could she was her glowing, shy face.

No matter, how much confused he was, he felt overjoyed and elated with the feeling of her being willing for this marriage.

But can he take the next step without clearing out the things with her?

Should he really go with the flow and marry Khushi and claim her taking all her actions aa her final yes?

Well, he didn't get to ponder much upon it because soon they were surrounded by their family who were overexcited for the first wedding ritual, the garland exchange was about to begin.

Arnav stared at Khushi one more time only to find her lips curling more and more into a full-fledged smile and he feared what if her pink, soft petals which would now belong to him would be bruised by herself instead of him.

Possessive ASR, you see.

He looked at her clearly displeased making her pout and then come towards him almost making him panic with the thought of what this crazy creature would do now.

Seconds later, he noticed her picking up the garland and then trying to put the garland in his neck and then frown and pout for he is standing still and his head straight making it difficult for her to complete the first ritual of the marriage.

A pinch from his sister on his forearms made him conscious enough to bow his head down infront of his lady love, his bride, his wife.

She happily made him wear the garland and now with bated breath waited for him to do the same.

Arnav had got his confusions cleared with the way she had made him wear the garland. This girl, the bride, his bride was actually willing to marry him now and that finally made a small but content smile reach his lips.

Satisfied and leaving the question answer session for later, he picked up the garland and made her wear it and heard everyone along with his crazy creature sequealing.

He looked at her amused who inturn winked at her making his eyes widen.

Little later, he found his di in same stupified stance as him, most probably, because she too must have seen his bride winking mischievously at him.

Serves his di right for choosing a crazy creature for her brother.

But then his heart intervened..

Yea, right Raizada.

As if, you weren't too eager to marry this crazy creature of yours, umm, actually only yours.

Have not been for your ASRism sake, you must have been doing bhangra by now in joy.

He smiled sheepishly at his heart for how right he was and then concentrated back on his di who was now trying to control her giggle.

He looked at his bride who was standing beside him and chatting and taking wishes from her friends casually and happily.

Right time to seek one or rather two-three answers.

He turned towards her but then stood there awestruck with the way she was enchanting him with her spellbounding beauty.

He is angry and confused and he wants to seek answer or rather stop all this in his ego but the tremendous joy this moment is giving him isn't allowing him to do so. He was to enjoy to, to rejoice it, to live it.

She turned to find her husband, her Arnavji staring at him like a love-sick, confused puppy and she felt like kissing him the same way he did few minutes ago to bring him out of the most beautiful shock she gave him.

She too wants to give him every answer he seeks and she is sure, he is going to blast on her but then shower her with his immense, possesive and true love.

She blushed at the thought and then holding his hands avoiding everyone's gaze and gaining his attention said naughtily-

Will you stop staring at me Arnavji?

What will everyone think?

Shaadi hui nhi, abhii se(We aren't married yet) and you are smitten by your wife, already?

He frowned, nevertheless, shouted his question-

Why are you here?

Go back Miss-I-don't-want-to -marry-you.

He said like an angry kid not meaning it a bit while she couldn't help her little giggle.

She looked back at him who had maintained the same expressions on his face and said-

Ohh!  I am here to give you the reason for my denial and now my acceptance.

Your what? He asked shocked even after listening it clearly.

ACCEPTANCE, Havard waale Chote. He heard his wife saying making him roll his eyes.

Ugh!  Stop calling me that. He chided and what he heard next left him flabbergasted with that smile permanently sticking to his lips.

Okk, Patidev. (Husband.)

They kept looking at each other and Khushi knew its time she opens up about the reason.

To be contiued..
