VIVAH ~ A SACRED BOND OF LOVE : PART-10

It was very early in the morning and there wasn't much light outside. Arnav stirred in his sleep but did not want to wake up from this peaceful slumber he had ever had. He was feeling very cozy; a warm softness against himself; and he and instinctively snuggled into the warmth. He lazily opened his eyes to be greeted by the most beautiful sight in the world; Khushi sleeping peacefully cuddling to him and sleeping almost upon him due to her weird ways of sleeping. 

       

He looked at her for a while thinking that if its reality or dream; then as previous day event their marriage flashed through his mind; he was happy she with him. He pulled back a little to get a better look. She was so beautiful while sleeping. He caressed her cheeks with his fingertips. Khushi smiled in her sleep, making his smile too as she recognized his touch. Arnav thought lovingly she look so innocent so beautiful while sleeping peacefully. He didn't know how many minutes past in admiring the beauty in his arms. After hours he found her her stirring; stretching like a cute kitten on bed.

Feeling ticklish, Khushi yawned and lazily opened her eyes; again closed her eyes snuggling close to him.

Arnav "Khushi" softly whispered in her ear

Khushi slowly opened her eyes to look at him and smiled lazily " Arnavji " murmured sleepily but then all sleep vanished and her eyes opened wide; open opened her mouth to scream but silenced by Arnav who captured her lips into his for a mind blowing kiss that left her breathless

Arnav cupped her face "Khushi shhh " amused seeing her  staring at him with eyes big as saucepans on the very first morning of their married life "Khushi, we are married, remember ? " tucking her strands away from her face 

She looked around and soon realization dawned upon her last night she got married to Arnavji. She was no more at her home; sleeping in her small cozy bed but instead she now here sleeping with Arnavji on his king sized bed. Khushi turned beet red.

       

Arnav chuckled seeing her turning into red " Good Morning " kissing her on forehead

Khushi shyly " Good Morning "

Arnav " I have to leave for my morning jog "

Khushi " Ji "

Kissing her cheek he got out of the bed and walked to the wardrobe; taking his tracksuit he went to bathroom. When he came out changing into tracksuit, he gasped seeing Khushi already cleaned and set room. He went over to his wife.

       

Arnav " I'll be back soon " kissing her cheek leisurely left for his jogging leaving behind a smiling Khushi

Seeing it's already 6:30 Khushi rushed to bathroom. Within 20 mins Khushi came out of the bathroom after having a relaxing shower; wearing a red embroidered saree with long sleeve blouse and her wet hair covered by a towel. She went to the mirror; untied the towel and began to dry her hair; ran the brush through her long silky hair and set it in a classic chignon. She straightened her mangalsutra and applied sindoor in her maang; put on red bindi, red glass bangels,  a pair of gold chandelier earrings; applied eye liner on her eyes and a dab of red lip gloss on her lips. She smiled at her reflection; made her way to downstairs to do the morning aarti arrangements.

             

Around 7:30am one by one the Raizadas started gather at mandir for morning aarti. Nani and Mami impressed to see Khushi in mandir already and alone finished with the required preparation for aarti.

                  

Anjali "  Khushi, you here so early in the morning ? "

Khushi " Yeah Di, I came down to do the aarti preparation " arranging the aarti thaali

All three ladies pleasantly impressed with Khushi for taking up role of Raizada Bahu with ease.

       

Nani " Chaliye Khusi Bitiya, let's start the aarti "

Khushi " Ji Nani "

Khushi got up with aarti thaali and started doing the aarti while singing aarti song and everyone folded hand in prayer. Everyone presented there very much impressed hearing her melodious voice. Then after aarti Khushi turned to give everyone Prasad; first went to Nani, touching her feet took her blessing and gave Prasad;  then one by one gave Maamiji, Mamaji, Anjali and Akash; least she fed prasad to the most important family member, Oscar.

Nani " Khushi Biti ya, today is your first day in this house. You have to something sweet for everyone "

Khushi " Ji Nani "

Akash " Bhabi, can you please make halwa poori for me. I really feel like eating it "

Everyone smiled at him.

Khushi smiled " Ji Akash Bhai "

Anjali " Aur ha Khusi, please make Kheer because Chote loves Kheer " teasing

Khushi " Ji " with shy smile left for the kitchen to carry out the Chula Rasam following by Oscar behind

       

Arnav ran along the road; feeling the burn; taking in the fresh air while his mind filled with its own chain of thoughts like how he managed to sleep comfortably wrapped around Khushi; for the first time no nightmares disturbed him; no memories of the past haunting him; but he felt relax and at peace with her sleeping in his arms. He looked at the fitness tracker on his wrist and realized he had been running for a little over his usual time; in no time, he was on a spree of reverse coverage.

When he got back to the house, he saw his Di sitting on kitchen slab happily chatting with Khushi who was busy to make something on oven. He shook his head and went to his room to take shower.

After preparing breakfast when Khushi entered inside the room, she heard the shower in bathroom making her aware of Arnav being inside so she went to wardrobe and started taking out his suit keeping it on bed. Hearing the bathroom door opened, she turned around to find Arnav standing in front of her in a towel wrapped around his waist and another one around his neck. Khushi struggled to remove her eyes away from him.

       

Girls ogling him it's not new thing to him but Khushi ogling him with her innocent eyes making him proud. He couldn't help but smirked making her embarrassed. Khushi turned to leave the room but Arnav was too fast to her. He held her hand and pulled her to him. Khushi came crushing to his chest wrapped arms around her and brought his lips on her; kissing her passionately. She moaned in his mouth and reciprocated the kiss slowly.  His hands started roaming on her almost bare back due to her backless blouse. She din't know her moaning had awoken how much desires in him and how he controlled himself to not lose control. They came up for air; pulling their lips apart from each other; looking in each other's and Khushi turned red under his gaze.

Arnav " You are looking exquisite in this saree " nuzzling her neck making her shudder; left her after pecked her lips few time till he satisfied

Khushi " Breakfast is ready Arnavji. Come soon " left from the room with shy smile playing on her lips behind smirking Arnav
