She was about to make her plate when Nani stopped her.

          

         

Nani " Khusi, it's the tradition that on the first day of marriage husband and wife should eats from the same plate and also feed each other "

Anjali " Chote you will have to feed to Khushi  and Khushi you too have to feed Chote from your hands " teasingly

He forwarded the plate towards Khushi and kept it in middle. He tore a piece from poori and dibbed into mathura ke dubki wale aloo; took towards Khushi's mouth signalling her by his eyes to eat. Khushi shyly ate it and she did same with Arnav; both continued feeding each other.

Nani was contented seeing everyone couldn't stop from serving themselves some more this delicious breakfast. She loved to pamper her children and grandchildren with food. The happiness she felt watching  they quite forgetting his habitual restraint such a healthy appetite.

Mami looked at the couple in front of her who lost into each other. A smile came her lips automatically; today she was happy inside seeing her Arnav Bitwa truly happy after a long time and the reason was Khushi Bitiya. She'd always loved her niece and nephew by marriage; but she was always partial to her Arnav Bitwa. She knew her Akash was perhaps not as smart as her Arnav Bitwa; yet she had not minded. She was always happy for his success and now truly happy seeing her Arnav Bitwa coming out of his shell which he created around his heart after that fateful night. For this reason she was always tankful to Khushi Bitiya.  Bless the child she thought.

              

The breakfast was loud; with youngsters teasing Arnav and Khushi. Whole family praised Khushi for the delicious feast she made and blessed her.

After breakfast all gathered into living room.

Now all eyes on Arnav.

Arnav " This is for you"  handing a red box to her

    

        

Khushi opened the box; amazed to see it  contained gold and diamond choker necklace set.

            

Anjali and Akash praised his choice and teased the couple.

Khushi sitting in front of the mirror was getting ready in the red bridal lehenga her husband designed for her and jewellery he chose for her muh dikhai function. She looked at her husband who sitting on the recliner checking his mails on laptop. She turned her attention back to her dress up.

               

Arnav felt his wife's gaze on her but he kept his eyes on laptop and from the corner of his eyes he kept his eye on her every move. He saw her struggling with the necklace. He got up from his seat and went to help her to put on it. Turning her around, he helped her to wear her earrings, mangtika and bangles; put the veil over her head. He made her stand on her feet; admired his newly wedded wife's beauty. Since the time she had joined his company, she had woken up unknown burning desire in him to have. Knowing now SHE BELONGS TO HIM, it's going too hard for him to control all of those desires.

Arnav brushed his fingers lovingly over her face as his eyes drank in the sight of her. Her cheeks, her cute nose were red by now. Her breasts were heaving up and down while those desirable luscious red lips began to quiver as he brushed his thumbs on her lips indirectly hinting her that he going to claim her. Their faces were few inches apart when there was sudden knock at the door making both of them drew apart. Both saw Anjali entering their room.

Anjali cupping Khushi's cheek  " You're looking very pretty Khushi. Don't get any bad eye on you " put khol behind Khushi's ear " Come all the guests came " took Khushi along with her covering her face with the veil

She made Khushi seat on cusion sofa at the center of living room. The function started; one by one all the ladies of their neighborhood along with Nani, Mami and Anjali's friends came to her and lifted the veil. All awed to see her. Raizada ladies were feeling proud hearing all the praises they receiving for their Bahu.

After 2 hours Khushi entered in their room after her muh dikhai function got over and all the guests left after having hearty feast.  

Arnav gave her a pink saree with golden border " Change into this. We have to leave now  "

Khushi " Ji "took them and went to the walk in wardrobe for change

Anjali  came to their room along with Hari Prakash with all the gifts Khushi got in muh dikhai " Chote, tumko pagphare ki rasam ke liye Khushi ko mayke la jana hai "

Arnav " Yes we're leaving "

Anjali " You two have to spend tonight there "

Arnav " I know Di "

Anjali " Do fast. Uncle Aunty must be waiting for you both "

Arnav " Yes they are " smirked

Anjali " I am going to keep some gifts for your in laws in your car " left from there while Arnav engrossed himself to check the mails on mobile.

He heard the wardrobe door click before opening and came out Khushi in the pink saree with her hair open. And all he could do was stare at her with bedroom eyes seeing her in tight fitting saree molding to her curvy form. She walked to mirror; ran brush through her hair, did curl at the end and set them on her left shoulder; applied little make up, red lipstick on lips, pink bindi; put on a pair of diamond earrings and pink gold bangels; put on golden heels.

             

Khushi " Arnavji, I'm ready with smile "

Arnav went to her and wound his arms around her waist " You're looking beautiful "

         

Their breath quickened as they look into each other eyes and lips. Arnav pull her closer eliminating any distance between their bodies and placed his lips on her  taking her into the sweet hazy kiss. They broke apart due to lack of oxygen and were about to start another one when there was a knock on their door.

Hari Prakash " Arnav Bhaiya, car is ready " left

Arnav " I wish HP would have come a minute later " in husky voice making Khushi blush.

He placed a kiss on her red tinted cheeks; taking her hand in his walked to the door. All were happy seeing the newly wedded couple coming downstairs holding each other hand. Taking the blessing from elder ones, newly wedded couple started their journey.
