Part 35 The Dinner party
Khushi agreed to get married to Arnav. Even Arnav didn't expect that. He thought he would struggle to get a yes from Khushi. he thought she won't agree to the marriage easily. But she did... because she is thankful to him. To show her gratitude, she is marrying him. She knew whatever the home children getting from Arnav is something they never could get.
Arnav was happy and a little confused too. He could not believe Khushi completely. He thought she may change her decision anytime. But he didn't care about it because he was confident about himself. He was confident that Khushi can't go away from him. He will never let her go away from him.
Aman came to Arnav's cabin.
"Yeah, Aman..."
"ASR... I have been arranged a dinner party for you and Khushi"
"Dinner party...? For what?"
"To celebrate our weddings"
Arnav rolled his eyes.
"We will celebrate it after the wedding..." Arnav said.
"Why ASR? Are not you sure about our... I mean, your wedding?" Aman mocked.
"Why won't I? I don't know about your wedding but my wedding will definitely take place with Khushi" he countered back.
"Oh... really?"
"Realllyyyy"
"Don't you think this is too much?"
"Why? I'm not less than you... mind it..."
"I will mind it... you just come to my party"
"Don't you know I don't like parties?"
"But I know you like Khushi"
"I like Khushi. So...?"
"Yup... you like Khushi and why not you bring her to the party to spend time with her"
"I'm already spending my time with her...in my room... without anyone's disturbance and I'm sure you guys will spoil our time"
"From when did you become so mean?"
"I'm always..."
"Are you coming or not?"
"Ok... will come..."
"That's it. Ask Khushi to come with Lavanya. We will go together"
"Ok..." Arnav disconnected the call.
Aman was happy as Arnav agreed to come to the party. Aman called Lavanya and informed her about the party.
"Party? Is it? What's the pleasant surprise Ammu...! Why suddenly...!"
"Just thought to give time to ASR and Khushi"
"But they are always together"
"I want them to be with us"
"Oh... Ok"
"Join Khushi... I mean bring Khushi to the hotel Cool Fire. I and ASR will come together"
"Ok"
They disconnected the call. Lavanya came to Khushi's room. She saw her on call. Obviously, the call was from Arnav.
"Ok Arnavji... I will be there on time with Lavanya"
Khushi smiled at Lavanya, disconnecting the call.
"Arnavji asked me to join you for the dinner party"
"Yeah... I came to tell you the same"
"I will be ready at 6'o clock"
"Ok... we will go together"
"By the way, Lavanya, why Aman has arranged the party?"
"Suspense" Lavanya smiled.
Khushi rolled her eyes high.
"Get ready soon..."
"Arrey, what urgent?"
"I and Aman hardly get a chance to meet Khushi... please get ready soon"
"understood... I will be ready in fifteen minutes"
"I hope the wound in your hand healed..."
"Much better... I don't feel pain"
"That's great"
Lavanya left the room. Khushi got ready within fifteen minutes as she said. Lavanya and Khushi started to the hotel Cool Fire with driver Mohan.
They reached the hotel in half an hour. Arnav and Aman have not come yet. Khushi and Lavanya occupied the reserved table.
Khushi smiled at Lavanya who was looking at the entrance restlessly.
"Don't worry, Lavanya... your Ammu will be here anytime"
"Ammu is always punctual but ASR... for him, his work always comes first," she said wearily.
"Are you bored?"
Lavanya nodded yes.
"Ok... don't feel bored. Tell me now, why Aman is giving this party" Khushi asked.
"This is a thanksgiving party"
"For?"
"For our wedding. He wants to thank you personally. That's why"
"How many times will you thank me for the same thing?"
"For our lifetime, Khushi..."
"I'm not just helping you but I'm getting married to Arnavji too"
"Are you ready to marry Arnav?"
Khushi nodded yes.
"Thank God... Love you so much for this"
"I'm not getting married to him just for my home children but also for Raizadas..."
Lavanya spilled a satisfactory smile.
"They are so sweet. I don't want them to feel bad. I can't even imagine what will be their condition if they get to know about our fake marriage"
"You are right, Khushi. We were so selfish not thinking about their feelings. They will break down for sure"
"Shyam Bhai will get angry with you, right?" Khushi asked sadly.
Lavanya gulped down remembering the vibrating slap given by Shyam. She nodded yes hurriedly.
"Thank God, our drama will never come out..." Lavanya huffed in relief.
"Yes... what would have happened if they get to know I'm not Arnavji's wife and not even his girlfriend?"
"RM will become a war field... ASR will get into big trouble. He will handle anything but the emotions of Anjali Bhabi... she will never forgive him for lying about his wedding"
"It should not happen... I don't want to face such a horrible situation ever" Khushi said panicking.
Lavanya nodded yes. Khushi and Lavanya saw Arnav and Aman entering in. Lavanya's face brightened, seeing them... correction, seeing Aman. Khushi smiled at Aman mildly whereas Arnav was stunned, seeing stunning Khushi who was wearing black salwar. They came to them and took seats next to their respective partners.
"Sorry, we made you wait..." Aman said.
"Not WE... it's YOU" Said Arnav.
Lavanya looked at Aman wondering.
"Is that you?" she asked.
"Yeah... I had to complete an important work..." said Aman.
"We always have work, Aman. We should not have made them wait in the public place" Arnav said.
Lavanya pouted whereas Khushi chuckled. Arnav and Aman looked at them questioningly.
"I thought ASR would be the reason for your delay as he is a workaholic," Lavanya said.
"I'm... but when it comes to my beloved ones, I won't care about my work" Arnav smiled at Khushi.
"From when you started ignoring your work, ASR? I have never seen you doing that" Aman said chuckling.
"He is getting married, Ammu... that's what he is hinting at," Lavanya said.
Arnav smirked, looking at Khushi.
"Oh, God... I thought to enjoy our honeymoon, leaving AR's responsibility to ASR. it seems it won't happen" Aman said, feeling sad
"Make sure, Ammu. ASR may also have the same idea of leaving AR's responsibility to you to enjoy his honeymoon" Lavanya said horrified.
"Don't worry, there is a scapegoat called Akash" Aman laughed, so did Arnav.
Khushi was suffocating in between their honeymoon talks. She didn't expect they would talk about it openly.
"By the way, what's your plan about your honeymoon?" Arnav asked Aman
"I'm planning to fly to Bali"
"Oh..."
"What about you?" Aman asked Arnav.
"I'm planning to leave RM..."
"Why?"
"To stop people from engaging my wife..."
"Oh... are you planning to kidnap Khushi?" Aman laughed.
Khushi bowed down embarrassing.
"ASR, you are making Khushi suffocating"
"Because of you guys, she feels suffocating"
"What does that mean? Won't she feel suffocated with you?"
"She does... but who cares?" Arnav teased.
"This is not done ASR... don't behave like Lavanya..." Aman said controlling his laughter.
Lavanya pinched his thigh.
"This is what I said" Aman laughed.
Khushi chuckled.
"Jokes apart... I heard you agree to marry ASR, Khushi. I'm so glad about your decision. Seriously, your decision made me happier than ever before" Aman said.
Khushi looked at Arnav and then Aman.
"ASR is a man of word, Khushi, you don't have to bother about him. Tell me if he troubles you a lot... I will take care of him" Aman said and Arnav raised his brows.
"Really? How will take care of me?" he asked sarcastically.
"I will hide Khushi somewhere and make you realize her importance... simple"
"I already knew her importance in my life," he said looking at her.
Khushi also looked at him with a mild smile.
They didn't notice that someone was listening to them. The person's face changed with a dangerous expression that didn't give us a good vibe. The person moved from the place silently, planning how to tell Raizadas about Arnav and Khushi's fake wedding... the person is none other than Deepak... the one who roamed behind Khushi.
