Arshi SS The Eternal Love *Epilogue 2 on Page 58* - Page 20

Okay guys, here is a total Arshi update. I am not very good in writing romance but tried my luck. Do comment!

Chapter 21

He entered the room to find it beautifully decorated with flowers and candle lights. Thanks to his di who had taken all the efforts to do it. He looked around the room and finally his eyes rested on the figure sitting on the bed dressed in the heavy red lehenga and her face covered with the ghungat, her knees crawled up the her chest.

He smiled and took small steps to the bed. He could see her fingers clutching her lehenga skirt and her toes crawled inside the skirt. He sat on the bed near her and slowly held her hand which was rested on her knees. Lifting his other hand he slowly held the ghungat, lifting it.

Her red blushing face came into his vision as he removed the ghungat from her head. She looked at him and then lowered her vision shyly. He smiled and moved his finger over her cheeks while she closed her eyes as he did that. He leaned closer to her and cupped her face. He saw her closed eyes and parted lips and slowly lowered his face to hers.

"Bhai!" Akash jerked him. Arnav came out of his dream world. "Are you even listening to me?" Akash whined.

"Chup kar Akash. First of all di has kicked me out of MY room in the name of decoration and when I got permission to go in, you are deliberately delaying me with your boring talks!" he shouted.

Akash laughed and said, "Arrey bhai, what is so special tonight? Like every night you'll go to your room, change your dress and sleep. And usually you go to bed by 11 right? It's only 10 now!"

"Akash!" Arnav shouted.

Anjali came there and said, "Okay Akash, you have done the work perfect. I never thought you would be able to irritate him so well. Chotte, now you may go to your bride!" Akash giggled and Arnav walked to his room huffing and puffing.

He walked into the room and bolted the door behind him. He then glanced at the bed in the hope to see his beautiful bride sitting with her blushing face but...

What the!

Arnav looked at the bed to see Khushi leaned on the headboard and SLEEPING!

Sleeping! How on earth could she sleep on THEIR FIRST NIGHT!

Arnav sat on the bed beside her and slowly patted her face. "Khushi" he called softly.

She slightly shifted in her sleep murmuring "Ma...I'm...tir...e...d..."

He smiled and made her lie properly on the bed. Removing all her heavy jewellery, he covered her with a quilt and moved to washroom to change his itching sherwani.

He came out after some minutes and smiled looking at HIS WIFE sleeping on THEIR bed. Switching off the lights, he climbed on the bed near her and lied down covering himself with the same quilt. He turned to his wife who was sound asleep and closed his eyes wrapping his arms around her waist.

The morning rays peeped through the curtains and fell on her face. Scolding the rays, she murmured, "Ma...close the curtains...Ma..." she opened her eyes and looked at the different surroundings. Realization dawned upon her. She is now Khushi Singh Raizada not Khushi Arora. She is at Raizada Mansion, not Arora mansion.

Feeling a weight on her body, she looked to her waist to find his large arms hugging her sideways. She looked to her right to see him sleeping like a baby with a cute smile on his face. She smiled and gave a small peck on his cheek. It was then she noticed the clock hanging on the wall.

6.00 am.

"Oh no, first day and I cannot be late!" Khushi cried and sat up on the bed in her heavy lehenga, "I have to get ready!"

She tried to step down from the bed when she felt him holding her hand. She turned and saw him looking at her. He sat up on the bed and asked in his sleepy voice, "Where are you going?"

"Arnav it's 6. I have to get ready! I cannot be late!" Khushi cried and tried to leave his hold.

"Khushi...everyone gathers for pooja at 9! Now come and sleep!" Arnav said and was about to lie down when she asked, "Then aarti?"

"Nani and Di do that at sharp 7!"

"Why don't you all attend it?" she cried.

"Because we all cannot get up at 6!" and he sat leaning on the headboard.

Khushi sighed and said, "Lazy log! I have to attend it!" she was about to turn when he pulled her.

She landed on his chest and before she could react, he smacked his lips on her.

His left hand pulled her by waist and the other cupped her cheek as he kissed her passionately. Although shocked for a second, she too started responding back and clutched his shoulders tightly.

They broke up due to lack of air and she lied on his chest with her head rested on his crook of neck. "From today, I need a good morning kiss everyday!" he whispered in his husky voice and she hid in his arms blushing.

"Waise you did wrong. How could you sleep on our Suhaag raat yaar?" Arnav whined.

Khushi laughed and sat up. "I was tired" she said.

"So? You know I was very excited as I came in!" Arnav whined. Khushi laughed and pinched his cheek. "Ok now, let me change this dress. This is so heavy!" she said and turned to step down from bed when he pulled her.

"Arnav..." Khushi whined.

"Waise you spoilt my Suhaag raat plans, so now, compensate it!" Arnav whispered.

"How?" she asked with her wide eyes.

"You want to get ready na? Nani and Di will start the pooja in an hour!" Arnav asked naughtily. She nodded her head unaware to his intentions.

"I'll help you to get ready!" he whispered and pulled her close.

She widened her eyes and cried, "Arnav...No..." she tried to push him but he kept his finger on her lips, "Sshh..."

She looked at him and he roamed his fingers on her face, her neck and then to her shoulder. Holding her shoulders, he turned her that she is sitting with her back facing.

He removed her long hairs from her back to her shoulder. Leaning, he planted a small kiss on the back of her neck and she clutched the bed sheet tight. Closing her eyes she felt him roaming his fingers over her back which was visible due to her backless blouse.

Her breath became shallow when he started to replace his lips with his fingers. She gulped when he kissed her shoulder and then her neck and pulled her close. Her back crashing on to his chest and he whispered in her ears, "You're going to miss the pooja"

She said nothing but leaned her head on his shoulder arching her neck back and breathing heavily as he slowly untied her blouse dori.

This is the first epilogue. A total Raizada family update. Don't worry, Epilogue 2 would be full of our sweet Arshi

Epilogue 1

6 years later

London

"Anjali...Anjali..." Shagun called out her daughter-in-law's name who was nowhere in her sight. "Anjali..." she called sharply.

"Aayi maa..." Anjali shouted and came running through the stairs in her peach coloured sari. "Kya huva maa?" she asked.

"Did Ritik come?" Shagun asked angrily.

Anjali chuckled and said, "Nahi maa"

"This is not fair," Shagun said with puppy face, "I agree that Ritika and Anjal are your children. But hello, I am their dadi. I also wish to spent time with them!"

"Aur nahi to kya," Raj Arora said, "We even left our Los Angeles home and shifted here so that we could stay with our sweet little tots"

Anjali laughed and Shagun said, "And here is my dear son, always taking out his children with him for morning walk!"

"Maa, they both pestered him to take them with him!" Anjali said and then said pointing to the door, "Ah here they come!"

"Dadi!" the children screamed and ran to Shagun.

Ritika, 3 year old daughter of Anjali and Ritik, and Anjal, 3 year old twin brother of Ritika, ran to their dadi and hugged her legs.

Shagun laughed and took both her kids on her arms.

Anjali walked to Ritik and said, "Go and take bath. Our flight is at 11. We have to leave within an hour!" Ritik smiled and nodded.

Raj Arora watched his son and daughter-in-law and smiled contently seeing them happy. Within two days of Arnav-Khushi's marriage, Ritik had broke the news to him and Shagun that he is in love with Anjali. Anjali too informed her family about her love. Khushi was over the moon hearing that and she was the one who took the initiative to convince Raj and Shagun who was initially confused about the whole thing. In return to how Ritik convinced Aroras about Arnav, Arnav this time convinced Raizadas about Ritik. After a week of Arshi marriage, Anjali and Ritik got married from court.

Raizada mansion, New Delhi

"Hello hi bye bye...Rehaan bitwa..." mami screamed and ran to her dressing table where Rehaan, 4 year old son of her Arnav bitwa and Khushi bitiya, was breaking all her makeup things.

"Rehaan!" Mami cooed and took him in her arms. Rehaan struggled and jumped down from her arms, "I won't talk to you" he shouted.

"Arrey kyun?" mami asked.

"Badi mami you promised me that you would take me for shopping. But you went alone! You are bad!" he said in tears.

"Hello hi bye bye...mami is sorry bacchu!" mami took him in arms, "Next time I'll definitely take you for shopping. And why are you crying like girls?"

"I'm not a girl" Rehaan screamed.

"You are! See Anjal never cries. He is a strong boy!"

"Anjali is not strong. He is my little brother! I'm eldest!" Rehaan cried.

Mami laughed and said, "Now go and get ready. Your little brother and sister will be here soon!"

"Arrey ha..." Rehaan cried and ran to his room.

He came out of the washroom in his maroon-cream kurta-pyjama wiping his head when he saw her standing in front the mirror with a pink saree in her hand and frowning at it. He smiled and walked to her. Hugging her from back, he asked, "Kya huva"

She looked at him and pouted, "I don't want to wear sari"

"Then don't wear it" he whispered and placed a kiss on her ear lobes.

"Akash" she whined and freed from his hug. Turning to him she said, "Today it is Diwali. And maa ji said that I should wear sari today unlike last year when I wore jeans!"

"Then wear an anarkali!" Akash said.

"I don't have anarkali!" she pouted.

Akash laughed.

"Are you laughing at me?" she screamed and threw the sari on his face.

"Payal" Akash cooed and hugged her, "If you don't want to wear sari, it's okay. I will talk to maa!"

Payal withdrew from the hug and said, "Maa ji would scold me. Shagun aunty is also coming. She would also scold me. But I don't like sari. I'm very much uncomfortable in it!"

"Okay do one thing, wear kurti and leggings" Akash said, "That would be simple and comfortable too!"

"Ha...that'll be nice!" she said and turned to wardrobe. She took out a red kurti and asked, "Is this okay?" He nodded and she said, "Which colour leggings? Cream or white or yellow?"

"Cream would do!" he said.

"Okay! Thank you Aki!" Payal squealed. Kissing his cheek, she ran to the washroom to get ready. Akash smiled at his crazy girl who became his wife a year ago.

It so happened that when Payal went back to Los Angeles with Khushi's parents after Arshi marriage, Akash started to miss her terribly. It took him months to realize that he is in love with this girl whom he had named "Gabbar Singh". Arnav who noticed the change in Akash understood his problem and shifted Payal to AR branch in Delhi and brought her to RM.

All this happened 6 months after Arshi marriage. And it took Akash another 3 years to woo Payal and make her say yes for his proposal. After getting a lot of slaps and kicks from Payal, he finally got a yes from her mouth.

NK who got acquainted with Raizadas through the wedding is also coming for Diwali celebrations with his mother (Buaji). His event management company started their branch all over India and is quite successful. He is planning to shift to India soon along with his wife, Shreya whom he met when he met her father for organizing his elder daughter's (Shreya's elders sister) wedding.
