VIVAH ~ A SACRED BOND OF LOVE : PART-3

True to Arnav's word the whole Raizada clan was sitting at the living room of Gupta house.

Mama " I am Manohar Singh Raizada. That is my amma, Devyani  Singh Raizada " ( pointing Nani ) " She is my wife Manorama and this is our son Akash " (pointing Mami & Akash) " She is my niece Anjali " (pointing Anjali ) "  We are here for asking your daughter Khushi's  hand for my nephew Arnav "

Nani " My grandson like your daughter.  So we are here to ask your daughter's hand for our Chote. Hope you don't have any objection to it "

Sashi " No... no... Why will we have objection to this proposal when our children like each other "

Bua " Our happiness lie on our children's happiness Devyani ji "

Nani " Yeh you're saying true. If our children happy then we are happy "

Arnav smirked seeing Guptas' brilliant acting skill to pretend of prefect parents for Khushi in front of his family. He knew Guptas would never deny to this proposal after his visit here with Aman in the morning.

Falashback Start

After Khushi left for office, Payal was watching T.V sitting in living room. Suddenly doorbell rang and she opened the door, shocked to see great ASR at the door with Aman and stood there with dreamy expression too much to Arnav's irritation.

Arnav " Are you just going to let us stand at the door " rudely

Payal came back from her dreamland and gave them space to come inside.

Arnav " Call others " after settling down in the living room

Payal told them Arnav came here and asking for them. All came to living room.

Arnav " Today evening my family will come here ask your hand for Khushi. You'll have to agree to this "

Bua " Mr. Raizada we have already seen a proposal for Khushi... "

Arnav " I'm here not to hear your opinion Mrs. Mishra. Do you think I will need your permission to marry Khushi? I will get married to Khushi either by hook or crook. I'm doing this for Khushi's happiness and if you're not ready to do what I want then ready to go jail "

Sashi " What do you mean by Mr. Raizada ? "

Aman gave a file to Sashi. Seeing the file Sashi went pale.

Arnav " Mr. Gupta you try to sell Khushi's property which left by her late parents and Your daughter signed here copying Khushi's sign. I CAN PUT YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER IN JAIL ON FRAUD CASE. You know very well you and your daughter will have to go to jail for 5 years and your so called lawyer with whom you had fixed Khushi's marriage can't do anything in front of my power "

Sashi " What do you want ? "

Arnav " Simple when my family will be here to ask Khushi's hand, you have to agree on this and also Khushi should not be aware by mine this visit. If this happen then ready to face consequences "

Arnav and Aman left from there leaving behind scared Guptas.

Flashback End

Now here Guptas were doing what he asked.

Anjali " Uncle can you please call your daughter. I'm dying to see my Bhabi "

Sashi "  Sure Beta. Garima, bring our Khushi Bitiya here "

Garima a fake smile left for bring Khushi.

Arnav was checking his mail on mobile. Hearing Khushi's anklet ChanChan sound, he shifted his attention from his mobile to Khushi. The world around him stopped the moment he saw her in a pretty orange and pink saree; left her long silky waist length hair open, her arms adorned with pink orange bangles and gold chandelier earrings were hanging in her ears; with just pink lip gloss and kohl in her eyes she was looking like a princess.

Khushi stood in front of Raizadas and greeted them politely by folding her hands.

Anjali " She is very beautiful haina Nani "

Nani " Haan she is very beautiful. Khushi Bitiya come here and sit with me "

Khushi took baby steps towards her and sat between Nani & Anjali as they were sitting on the sofa and started talking with them politely controlling her blushing due to Arnav's continuously staring at her.

Nani and Anjali were happy with Arnav's choice. Khushi was in every way a well-mannered girl with deep-rooted values and traditions not like her sister Payal. First seeing Payal in short dress they thought Khushi would be like her but seeing Khushi they knew she was fully opposite to Payal;  Khushi was breathtakingly beautiful with soft spoken person and also modern but traditional; in a word Khushi would be perfect for the tag of  DAUGHTER-IN-LAW OF RAIZADA HOUSE.

Nani & Anjlai got up from the sofa.

Nani " Chote come and sit beside Khushi Bitiya. We have to do shagun "

Arnav walked towards Khushi and sat beside her. Anjali started the ritual. She placed the Red Veil on Khushi's head and applied tika on Arnav and Khushi's forehead. Nani removed the red cloth from the thali which Akash was holding, which contained a red saree and a heavy Gold and Diamond necklace set.

                    

           

Nani kissing Khushi's forehead " Welcome to our family Bitiya "

Mami gave her a heavy diamond choker necklace set

           

Anjali gave her a traditional gold haram jewelry set with red stones

           

Anjali kissing her forehead " Khushi now you are ritually termed to be  a part of our family " giving Arnav a pair of antique gold kangan " Make her wear this Chote "

Arnav gently held Khushi's hand and then slipped the Kangans in both her hands with at most care not wanting to hurt her at any instance.

    

Nani " Sashi ji tomorrow our Guruji will come our home to fix Chote & Khushi Bitiya's marriage date. If you have no problem then I want Khushi Bitiya cook tomorrow's lunch  "

Sashi " Ma ji why will we have any problem !!! Now Khushi is yours and you have full right on her "

Nani " Ok then Chote will pick Khushi Bitiya tomorrow at 10 a.m. Now, we will take leave "

All Raizadas left from there.
