Horizons of Love✓

Part 20

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

Godhbharai Ceremony was organised at 'Devyani Palace'. Arnav knew, Khushi was most beautiful woman in this world but pregnancy had made her even more beautiful.She was glowing and glowing and glowing some more. She looked very beautiful in her light weight yellow embroided anarkali with lots of stars shining over it. Decked in flower jewelry and mirroring her name completely- a bright and happy sunflower.His sun with his flower. He stood beside her, greeting and meeting all the guests both from her and his side. It helped in keeping up a nice facade of a happy family and also to keep Khushi free from all the stress and chaos of the function. Khushi oblivious to everything was busy undressing Arnav with her eyes, who was in black bandhgala with a yellow pocket square matching her dress. She will have him tonight, she decided and focused back on function.

It was sweet when ladies blessed her with gifts and whispered wishes about baby in her ears. It was emotional when Nani blessed them(all three), slid kangans selected by her daughter Ratna for her DIL. Khushi accepted those back because she knew her beautiful relationship with her lovely Ratna Maa, the third star in the sky was exclusive of her dynamics with Arnav, father of hee unborn. Arnav's eyes teared up at that. It was solace that she had no anger, resentment for his Maa, who had no role in him behaving like a monster. 

Mami did tika and aarti. Khushi wiped her tears with difficulty when her Babuji stood from his wheelchair and blessed her. Yeah he had made the progress of standing up some days back. Her baby was very lucky for her.

It was fun with silly dance performance of NK and Akash as pregnant ladies. It was rocking with fantastic performance of Payal and Anjali . Khushi couldnt help but groove at the upbeat fusion they had prepared.She ll surely dance on it after delivery.  It was yummy with fantastic food Arnav had arranged. Yes! She can give him itna credit but jalebis were missing. It was exciting with a great photo session she and baby had. She is gonna go through those amazing poses 1000 times. Baby bump was just the cutest thing in the world. Everyone was happy that Khushi was enjoying so much. She was really a bundle of energy. They were all tired by the end but the pregnant one was still bubbling. Baby was certainly going to be one very very active kid. Raizadas, though reluctant to admit, were glad to see Arnav smiling after months. Family bonds u see!

They returned home around 6. And everyone dead tired, decided to rest. Arnav Khusih moved to her room too. Arnav gave her a small gift wrapped box. Khushi didnt want any bad thing to taint this good day, so accepted it without fuss. She had herself brought a gift for Arnav. He may not deserve it but his baby did. She didnt want to ponder too much on her twisted logic and gave it to him before she changed her mind. Both opened their gifts. Khushi gifted him the framed picture of him holding her bump in sleep on a chair beside her bed that Garima had clicked. Arnav was deeply moved and amazed at the strength of Khushi's character. It was strange mix of unwavering grit to not change her stance yet gift him something so thoughtful. That she didnt need to restrain her feelings to keep him at bay. 

Arnav felt his gift was so small in front of her's . He had gifted her a sugarfree jalebi that he had managed to make after so many trials and errors.  Arnav assured her it was ok in taste, atleast according to him. Khushi ate it and found it was good. Jalebi was her jaan. She could enjoy it anytime. After a long break, this one felt like heaven. There was a note in box. Khushi wasn't sure if she should read it. What if it had declarations of love and all? She didnt want to spoil her mood. Though reluctant, she opened it and her eyes welled up as she read the single line note.Simple yet directly touching her deep buried 4 letter emotion. 

'Thanks for making me the luckiest man in this world,I really am sirf tumhari wajah se.'
