Admiring Love

Marriage

The most important question is will he ever love her? Will he come to a stage in his life where he is willing to give Kushi, his ammu's place? Is it possible? Will Kushi have that much patience to wait for him for the whole life time?

Though she already confessed that she doesn't have any expectations but can we say the same for the future too?  Finally he thought to be clear with Kushi that she will be only a friend but nothing else.

Yes that is safe, let me be clear with her so that she doesn't have any expectations from this marriage. What if I cannot be a good husband to her, I will always protect her as her best friend thought a very very confused Arnav

End of POV

Finally the days rolled and their marriage day came. Due to the rituals and all they both couldn't meet before the marriage. Thy didn't even speak on phone for obvious reasons. It's not a typical marriage where the boy and girl are eager to know each other. So they didn't find any need to call each other or even message each other.

( Guys just think of Arnav and Kushi getting married in a South Indian style. As I am a Telugu I am giving this video so that others can know how a Telugu wedding will happen)

So their marriage happened just like in the Video.  Finally after all the rituals, yes including the special Raizada tradition of lifting the new bride, they were left alone in their room.

Arnav impatiently stormed into room as soon as his mother allowed him to go in to his own room muttering his another famous dialogue unbelievable

He closed the door with frustration and said

Listen Kushi, I can never be your husband. Yes I understand we both spoke about it before but I am reminding you again so that we both are on the same page. Ok. But I will be your good friend so that you can be free and I will take care of you in every way as a good friend takes care. Is that ok for you? He was going on with his rant but stopped seeing no response from Kushi. He called her to get her attention but not getting any he slowly moved to her and lifted her gunghat.

( Guys I am taking the rituals that are convenient for me. Arshi is Pan world. They follow all the rituals. I don't want to confine them to a limited region or time space. Thank you for understanding)

He got stunned seeing Kushi soundly sleeping in sitting posture only

What the.......

With this Kushi's sleep broke. She looked at her surrounding  to realize she is in Arnav's room. So she got up to change her clothes so that she can finally get some sleep. But she stopped hearing Arnav's rant

See Kushi, I can never be your husband...........

Ha ha I know, don't play the same thing again and again like a broken recorder. I don't have any dementia. I remember everything. So now please let me go and change my dress. I am so tired. I just need to get some sleep now.

She was about to go to the restroom to change her clothes but she came back and pinched Arnav twice

Ha Kushi, what? Why are you pinching me? Are you mad? Paagal

This is for pinching me during the marriage time. Don't think that I forgot. I remember everything very nicely. You pinched me while tying the Mangal sutra and other at the time of pheras. Saying this she punched him one more time.

Haa..... now what is this for?

This is the interest. Saying this she went to the restroom giving him an attitude

God this girl, I just pinched her to tease her. Can't she even understand that small thing? God, I should never pinch her again. Saying this he rubbed his hand where she pinched him thrice

Kushi came outside in her night clothes and went to bed saying Good night to him.

Ho hello? What good night? Where should I sleep if you take the bed?

Arnav I am just tired. Now don't start anything. This is not some serial where you sleep on the couch or I sleep on the floor ok. We are matured adults and for god sake we are married for life time. So just take that side and let me sleep. Good night.

Arnav flinched at her outburst. He realized one more thing today. Disturbing a sleeping Kushi is like disturbing a sleeping lion. You have to be extra cautious otherwise you will not see the next days sun rise. It will be a last night forever.

So he also changed his clothes and slept on the bed with Kushi on his side. He felt something new today but brushing all those thoughts aside he also drifted into a good sleep.
