7.What is your name?

Start from the beginning
                                    

“Hmm” arnav hummed still engrossed in his laptop.

“What is your name?” asked khushi dropping a bomb on him.

“What!!!” asked a shocked arnav looking at khushi.

“Name, your name” repeated khushi thinking he didn't hear her.

“You don't know my name?” asked arnav.

“Yes, Papa, Ratna aunty and anjali Ji calls you Chotte and Bhai as saleshad and I know this can't be your name.
So tell me your real name?” asked khushi with excitement.

“At least you don't know with whom your sister's alliance got fixed” arnav asked in disbelief.

“No, they didn't inform me anything about him means you” khushi said sadly.

Arnav understood that there is so much to know about her life with guptas.

“What do you think?
Means you have any desire that this should be your husband's name” asked arnav keeping aside his laptop as he found this conversation as interesting.

Khushi became happy seeing his closed laptop as she can't sit idle without talking.

“I don't know your name,
and yes I have a desire for my husband's name” replied Khushi shyly.

“Oh, how you got that desire?” asked arnav as he was liking that she is expressing her thoughts and desires.

“One day in school my friends were discussing their future husbands and one of my friends asked me about my husband.
Then I talked about his name and the meaning which came to my mind” replied khushi.

“Can I know that name?” asked arnav.

“I will say but you should not feel bad” replied khushi.

Arnav smiled and nodded.

“I desired that his name should be arnav as it's meaning is the ocean and his love should be deep and vast like the ocean,
He should be calm like the ocean while listening to my blabbering” said khushi with a dreamy smile.

Whereas the arnav position couldn't be described in words. He was surprised and shocked but only one thing he concluded that is he meant to be with khushi only and determined that he will support her whatever it may be and listen to her blabbering as he was still confused to name his feelings as love.

Arnav just nodded in reply to her.

“Now, please say your name” asked khushi.

“Really you want to know (Khushi nodded) then don't be shocked” replied arnav.

“Ok now say,
Why are you keeping surprise as it is the exam result?” asked khushi.
Arnav smiled.

“Ok, my name is Arnav Singh Raizada” replied arnav.

Khushi was shocked hearing him and after a while started jumping.

“Why are you jumping khushi?” asked Arnav with confusion.

“Devi Maiya fulfilled my wish.
I asked that arnav should be my
husband's name” replied khushi.

Arnav smiled at her crazy antics.

So I want to fulfil his wish and I also like fashion designing.
I am a big fan of ASR.
I like his designs, but he never appeared in front of the media and also
He kept his name a secret and mystery” replied khushi.

Arnav was surprised and delighted knowing his wife is his fan.

“Can I know,

If you have a goal to achieve” asked arnav.

Khushi became silent.

“I am feeling hungry” said khushi to divert the topic.
