"Good night Ruchi.." Arnav kissed her forehead.

Then was about to kiss Khushi, but she cleared her throat indicating him that Ruchi was there, still he dropped a kiss on her forehead wishing her a good night.

Khushi smiled, thinking how this man took control over her!!

***************************************

Haldi function..

The girls took Khushi excitingly to the place where haldi function would occur. Khushi was mesmerized with the beauty of the decoration.

She smiled staring and capturing everything with her eyes, then she turned to the girls who came with her, but no one was there.

"Aww where they went.." Khushi frowned looking around. His arms made way to her waist, making her shiver.. yes she knows it's him.. because she recognized in seconds his touch.

"Arnav..thank you for this.." Khushi whispered and turned to him hugging him tightly.

"Don't thank me now.. because I will make all the functions of our marriage special for you.." Arnav said.

"You didn't need to do this.. I'm happy with a simple marriage.." Khushi said looking up to him.

"I'm doing this for you because I want to Khushi.." Arnav said cupping her face.

Khushi smiled and looked down, that's when she noticed he wore a white kurta today.

"Arnav what you wore today??" Khushi asked him with a surprised smile.

"Remember I told you about the little surprise for you.. then.." Arnav shrugged his shoulders, "I tried.. I think I wore it well.."

"You're looking perfect.." she whispered smiling brightly.

"It's uncomfortable but.. for you I will do everything happily.." he said resting his forehead against her.

Khushi closed her eyes feeling his breath.

"Khushi.." Arnav whispered her name.

"Hmm.." Khushi hummed still with closed eyes.

"I.." he said slowly.

"You??" she asked blushing, waiting for him to complete the three magical words.

"I'm getting late.." he said pressing his lips to suppress the smile on his face, Khushi opened her eyes in jerk.

"Late??" she frowned.

"Haan late.. it's my haldi also today.." Arnav smirked.

"Laad governor.. I know you were making fun of me.." Khushi pouted and went from there throwing glares at him.

Arnav chuckled.

****************************************

Mami happily came with a bowl containing haldi for Khushi, with NK, Meera, Karan, Payal, Akash and Aman by her side. They were happy to enjoy ASR's wedding.

It was something worth to watch!!!!!!!

"Mami will this function end early??" an impatient Arnav asked sitting on his stool.

"Shup.." Mami glared at him.

Arnav rolled his eyes, it was so boring for him to be sat in front of his wife but be able to see her face because of piece of cloth hang on there to separate both.

"Listen.." he whispered to Khushi.

"What??" Khushi said.

"After this haldi and on.. we will go out together na.." Arnav said.

"No! I've mehndi at evening don't forget that.." Khushi said.

"Mehndi?? Why?? I hate that smell.. now I've to sleep with you and that smell also.." Arnav groaned.

Khushi widened her eyes.

"I've an idea.. today you will sleep on the floor.." Arnav smirked.

"I wish this cloth wasn't here to separate us.. I would beat you very hard.." Khushi frowned.

"Aww my baby is angry.." Arnav smiled "I'll sleep with you ok??"

Khushi blushed and shook her head.

Arnav's family started applying haldi for both, as Madhu and Arjun didn't want to participate in any marriage function.

Anjali came last, she caressed Arnav's cheek with moist eyes, "I'm happy to see that you changed this much..that for Khushi you're doing this.."

Arnav just keep looking at her, his eyes brimmed with tears, after waiting for a long time, this is the first time his Di touched him with so much affection, but still his heart was scared that even this is her acting.

He looked away, and Anjali applied haldi on his both cheeks, then his arms and feet. She did the same with Khushi, Khushi smiled warmly at her. Then Ruchi and the other kids also applied and dirtied Khushi and Arnav and their clothes also.

************************************************

Madhu's room:

"What's happening here?? I don't like it at all.. Arnav and Khushi are more close to each other.. and we are doing nothing.." Nisha shouted in frustration.

"Then what will we do??" Madhu asked.

"This time it's something bigger.." Nisha said angry.

"What?" Arjun asked.

"I don't know yet.. but we have to plan something.. we have to convince Khushi that Arnav isn't the right person for her..these small tricks won't work anymore.." Nisha said.

"I've an idea.." Arjun said smirking.

"What??" both asked curious.

"ASR's famous anger will help us a lot.." Arjun said.

**************************************************************

All the guests were having fun playing with haldi and each other, music was being played entertaining them more.

Arnav took the opportunity to grab his lady love from there, he took her to a corner.

"Arnav stop it.. someone will see us here.." Khushi said pushing him.

"Everyone is there.. they won't even realize we left.." Arnav said stubbornly, he dropped kisses on her neck, while Khushi was blushing and busy in pushing him.

"Arnav.. stop it.." Khushi giggled.

"I didn't apply haldi on you.." Arnav said then trapped her with his arms.

"It's not necessary.." Khushi smirked.

"But I find it very important.." Arnav said, "And that's the reason you should stay.."

Khushi closed her eyes, and he moved closer to her, brushing his cheeks against her.. then caressed her arms spreading the haldi over it..

"There is something called room to do this.." Meera said closing her eyes with her palms smiling shyly.

Arnav and Khushi widened their eyes, Khushi quickly pushed Arnav and looked at Meera.

"Can I open my eyes now??" Meera asked with a teasing smile.

"Yes.." Arnav said embarrassed.

Khushi was glaring at him because she said someone would come and he didn't listen to her.

"I came to inform you both that Nisha didn't go back to Mauritius, and I don't know where she could go now.." Meera said.

Arnav and Khushi looked at each other, they now confirmed that Nisha was in the NGO itself.
