"What are you thinking?" Arnav whispered to Khushi

"Nothing. Just like that. And for god's sake stop scaring me all the time" Khushi complained

Arnav chuckled "Sorry didn't realize my hazel is sensitive like a Touch-Me-Not" Arnav said

"They'd be fine Right? Keerti Bua and Maa-Papa?" Khushi asked

"Yes Hazel. They're having the best reunion ever. All thanks to us." Arnav said

"You know Papa wanted his family around. We haven't done nothing but fulfill one wish that he had. While he has granted so many of ours." Khushi said

Arnav smiled

"Waise Nann-"

"Shut up NK" Arnav cut him off rudely

"At least hear me out!!" Nk whined

"Say it without calling me with that ridiculous nickname or don't say it at all" Arnav said 

"Okay Mr. Bossy Pants. You win!!" Nk exclaimed

"Kya karuin mein tumhaara? (What do I do with you??)" Arnav sighed

"Tum kuch nahi kar sakte. Leave that and tell me what all is happening now?(You can't do anything)"  Nk asked eagerly

"Its the Mehendi and Sangeet functions now. Mehendi is about to start I guess. And tomorrow is the Sangeet. Though there is a veneration of some kind for the Marriage to happen without a hindrance this time. You know last time with Dia leaving. Though for me everything just fell into place" Arnav winked

"You are such a Laad-Governor" Khushi whispered

"You got a problem with that?" Arnav raised an eyebrow at his would-be bride

"How do you do that??" Khushi whined

"What?" 

"The one eyebrow thing? How???" Khushi asked childishly

"You are such a cute lil kid Hazel!!" Arnav kissed her cheek. Khushi blushed deeply

"Aww Khushi. Look at you You're burning scarlet" Lavanya exclaimed teasingly. Khushi tried to run away from the teasings but was stopped by a hand holding hers in a firm yet gentle grip

"Get out you two. Stop teasing my girl and go romance in the guest room" Arnav ordered making the couple to gape at him shocked 

"Did you not hear me??" Arnav asked seeing them not moving an inch from their position

"We are going. Come NK we need to unpack too." Lavanya said whilst almost dragging her husband towards the guest room they were staying in

"So Mrs To be Raizada" Arnav whispered huskily pulling Khushi in his arms

"Ar..nav Mehendi" Khushi stuttered in a daze

"It has not started yet" Arnav said trailing kisses on her face

"What if someone comes?" Khushi asked 

"It's not a crime to love your wife" Arnav said kissing her nose

"I know.."

"Shh.. Let me have my fill. They are not going to let us have time like this again" Arnav whispered before taking her soft lips in a toe-curling kiss

Khushi moaned digging her nails on his back shifting her weight on him. Arnav held her by her waist steadying her 

Breaking the kiss due to lack of air Arnav rested his forehead on hers

"God.. You're irresistible" Arnav whispered and Khushi hid her face in his chest

Arnav was talking to one of his friends' in the hall when a soft gust of wind hit his face. Instinctively his eyes travelled to the top of the stairs. Khushi was standing at the top of the staircase wearing a beautiful Dark Green lehenga glowing under the lighting

Every eye in the hall travelled to the same point to ogle at the bride to be coming downstairs with her SILs

"She is looking so pretty" Someone whispered behind Arnav

"Is that AR collection?" Nk asked

"This isn't from a collection. This is my gift for her." Arnav said. Not removing his eyes from his angel clad in his designed outfit descending the stairs.

"Its beautiful" Lavanya said.

Khushi was made to sit on the mattress. A few ladies surrounded her and  started to apply henna on her hands and feet.

Lavanya went to the centre stage to start performing.

"Dulhe raaja! Aaiye baithiye. Mehendi ka shagun karna hai! (Come and Sit Mr. Groom to be. We have to do the mehendi)" Keerti exclaimed

"Ji Bua." Arnav mumbled looking disinterested. Khushi looked at him with a small smile as he grumpily made his way towards his aunt and cousins

"So Arnav Bhai.. What design do you prefer?" Vish opened a booklet having different henna designs and showed it to Arnav.

"I.. I'm not doing it." Arnav said horrified seeing the designs covering half of the arms.

"But bhai.. It's auspicious. And its a ritual" Preet said showing her big innocent eyes.

"I.. But.. Preet this is all meant for girls. How will I go to the office with my hands filled with henna?" Arnav asked

"Then don't go. You can have that liberty can't you?" Vish asked

"Vishu.. Please understand" Arnav pleaded

"Acha okay. But at least for the sake of the ritual you'll have to do it." Vish said

Arnav looked over at his bride to be looking at him with all the love in the world in her eyes.

"Love you" She mouthed when she noticed him looking at her

Arnav smiled

"Write the initial of her name Khushi" Arnav told Vishakha.

Vish smiled and started working on his hand beautifully crafting the name of his bride in his hand

Smaller than the pic

"Done" Vish exclaimed looking up after a few minutes

"Its really nice. Thank you Vish" Arnav said

"Although you could get away with a mere drop of henna" Arvind said settling beside him.

"I know. But this way.. I kept all the three ladies here happy. Besides it marks me as hers." Arnav shrugged.

"Aww Bhai. How sweet" Preet exclaimed

"Hazel had been working on coaxing me for this for days now" Arnav said

"And you were full on teasing her" Anjali said

"Don't you have to apply henna?" Arnav asked

"I have. Here look" Anjali showed her hands

Arnav smiled.

"Come on now you two. Let's dance" Anjali said dragging Vishakha and Preet with her towards the Dance floor.

"Careful. Don't spoil your henna" Arnav called after

"We know better" The three answered

Arnav shook his head.

Anjali Lavanya Preet and Vish started to perform on the beats of the music. Slowly, Many other guests joined them and they started dancing.

Oblivious to everything else was the groom to be. Life was a bliss for him as he looked at the smiling face of his hazel eyed bride glowing with happiness virtually enjoying the function of her Mehendi.

This the most ridiculous end I've ever penned down to an update. And I have nothing to say in defense. I have no Idea how Mehendi function works. And a little of what I had wanted to complete in this update is left so you'll have to bear with maybe one more crappy update.

If it's that much of crap please at least don't forget to vote 

If you like it. Drop in a comment or two.

Love
