"Arnav! Where are you?" Khushi asked over the phone as she rushed up and down trying to get everything together.
Both Tara and Rohan had given her so many things to handle for their wedding, she dint even have time to sit down for a moment and breath.
"On my way, be there in five." He said.
"You better be, or I'm going to get mad. There's too much work please hurry." Khushi said, she then disconnected the call and rushed to check on Tara to make sure she was ready, it was their big day finally.
She walked into the room and found her almost ready, her make up and hair was done, all she had to do was get into her wedding outfit.
"Wow, you look so pretty." Khushi said as she rushed to hug her.
"Wait until you see me all dressed, I'm going to be the most gorgeous bride ever." Tara giggled.
"Then get dressed, the priest has already arrives, I'll go check on Rohan." Khushi smiled as she rushed out of Tara's room and headed to Rohan's.
The wedding was taking place at Rohan's mansion, the altar had been set up right outside the mansion in his garden and it was so beautiful.
She knocked at the door of Rohan's room and then walked him, he was standing in front of the mirror staring at his reflection, he looked kind of nervous.
"You okay there?" Khushi asked as she walked in.
"Yeah... yeah, just a little bit nervous and maybe scared." He laughed.
"Why scared? You've literally waited for this moment for years now haven't you?"
"Yeah but you know the whole marriage thing is scary, it comes with lots of responsibilities too and I just hope I'll be able to live up to them, I just want to make sure she's going to be happy with me. I am a bit scared that I might end up hurting her like in the past and she would leave me again." Rohan pouted.
"Hey, don't worry nothing like that is going to happen, you're just overthinking this okay? Just calm down and relax, everything is going to be fine. You lost her once, I'm sure you don't want to lose her again so you would do everything to make sure she's happy with you.
Now stop being so scared and nervous and just be happy, you are getting married to the love of your life, you should be jumping up and down." Khushi smiled.
"I know, you are right." He said.
"Good, I'll get going then, got lots of work to do, see you at the altar." She smiled as she rushed out of his room and bumped into Arnav right out there.
"Finally, you're here." Khushi said as smiled happily, she took a step back and looked at him, he was dressed in a peach sherwani that made him look so hot.
"Not bad, you look great Mr. Raizada." Khushi smiled at him.
"So do you Mrs. Raizada." Arnav smirked.
"Umm... do I have to remind you that we're not married?"
"But that the point, we actually are married." He smirked
"Okay, you are so confusing me right now but I've got work to do, please go check why the caterer hasn't arrived yet, he was supposed to be here thirty minutes ago!" Khushi said.
"Okay, I'll do that, what else do you want me to do?"
"For now just that, I'll go check the priest has all the items needed for the rituals meanwhile, please make sure the caterer gets here on time."
"Okay boss." Arnav smiled, Khushi immediately started walking away but Arnav grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Just one more thing. You look so beautiful, especially when you're matching with me." Arnav winked at her making her blush.
"Now is not the time for romance, go get the work done." Khushi giggled as she rushed away.
*****
Both Arnav & Khushi stood beside each other and looked at Tara as she walked down the aisle dancing so happily, she seemed like the happiest bride, she was so happy and just enjoying her dance while Rohan stood at the altar waiting for her.
He had this huge smile on his face and a look that showed how much he was admiring her currently, the whole scenario was so beautiful.
Khushi slowly slid had hand into his and held it tightly, she looked at him and he smiled at her.
"Someday." Arnav smiled at her as they both once again turned to look at Tara and Rohan, they were now standing opposite each other holding the flower garlands that they were supposed to exchange.
"It's so beautiful isn't it." Khushi smiled at Arnav.
"It is." Arnav nodded in agreement, before he fell in love with her, he had never bothered much about wedding or anything, even at their wedding, he didn't pay any attention, he just wanted to get done with it for Anjali's sake.
He was always going to feel guilty about that time, knowing the truth now, just reminded him of what a terrible person he had been to Khushi, and how she tolerated all his torture for so long.
If there was anyone out there that believed that he didn't deserve her, they probably were right, he didn't, he was just glad that despite it all, she gave him a chance to right his wrongs, and he knew he had to do everything in his power to make sure that she was going to be happy with him, and with time he was going to win her trust back.
Tara gestured something to Khushi so she nodded and rushed towards her, and as she left his hand, he felt uncomfortable, he wanted to keep holding her longer, to make sure all this was real and not a dream, to make sure that she was here, with him and she wasn't leaving him.
Khushi sat down beside Tara while the wedding rituals began, Arnav settled down on a chair a bit further from the altar and watched the wedding.
Seeing Tara and Rohan getting tied into this beautiful bond of marriage was a bit too overwhelming for him, he had all sorts of mixed feelings, about the past, the present and the future.
It was crazy how he never realized how beautiful their own wedding ceremony had been because he was overpowered by hatred, and now witnessing this wedding, all he could wish was to go back in time and change things, but only if it was possible.
Khushi deserved so much more, a better husband, a guy that loved her and respected her, not someone that treated her like he had done, he was actually surprised that she even forgave him, she had to be really strong to forgive a man that had been so terrible to her.
He stood up and walked far away in the garden where people weren't around, he dint know if he was ever going to be able to get rid of this guilt he felt.
"Arnav." He heard her soft voice and felt her hand on his shoulder, he turned around and pulled her into a hug immediately.
"Hey, what happened?" She asked.
"I am so sorry Khushi, for everything that I have put you through in the past, I was so horrible to you, I was literally a monster and I am so glad that you actually forgave me for everything I did in the past.
I would always be grateful for it, I know you gave me a chance I dint deserve but I promise, you will never ever regret giving me that chance, I promise I will do whatever it takes to keep you as happy as possible.
I just want you to know, I am not the same person I was before, and I will prove that to you, every day, I will make sure you see that I am a different person. I am sorry for everything." He broke the hug and looked at her sadly.
"I know Arnav, if I gave you another chance, it's only because you aren't the same person that you were before."
"I'm sorry, I just got overwhelmed with so many feelings." He tried to laugh it off as a joke.
"It happens, especially at weddings." Khushi smiled at him.
"I know... anyway go back to the altar, I'm sure both Tara and Rohan need you around, I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"Of course, as long as I have you in my life, I'm always going to be fine." Arnav smiled.
"You've become so cheesy nowadays but I like it." Khushi giggled as she walked away and headed back to the altar.
He stayed where he was for a while, trying to get himself back together and then walked back to where he was seated so he could continue watching the wedding.
