FF-You'l B Mine KKGSR Epilogue 14/5* Th7 - Page 45

Khushi came out of the washroom wearing a gorgeous red saree with silver embroidery which Arnav gifted her.She couldn't wipe the contented smile that seem to have permanently taken residence in her lips, whenever her thoughts went to her loving caring husband.She loved how he took so much care in every gifts he got her so far.

As if her thoughts called to him, two strong arms encircled her waist hugging her to his strong muscled body.Khushi looked at her handsome husband face across the mirror and smiled widely, looping her own arms on top of his.

He smiled at her and moving away her long hair to one side, he pressed a soft moist kiss on her collar bone.Khushi's eyes closed on its own accord when he continued placing open mouthed kisses across her nape making her sigh in pleasure.

He slowly turned her towards him, and as always he took a pinch of sindhoor and placed it lovingly on her forehead parting. He kissed her forehead and cupped her cheeks "Happy Anniversary Khushi.You look gorgeous "

Khushi smiled broadly and hugged him "Aapko bhi saal girai ki mubaraq ho Arnav " (Happy Anniversary to you too Arnav) She then lifted her face "Aur aap bohot handsome lag rahe hai "( And you too looking very handsome) she commented shyly admiring how dashing he looked in a black three piece suit and designer tie. Arnav quirked his eyebrow and smirked "Really Khushi " she blushed and nodded.

He bent his head and kissed his gorgeous wife who reciprocated by looping her arms around his neck.Inspite of the number of times they had kissed over the years, their every kiss seems to be more passionate and much more memorable than their last.

Suddenly their door opened with a big squeal of "Happy Aniversary !!! " then followed by a loud gasp and a 'oh ow'. Arnav and Khushi immediately broke apart to look at their daughter and son who quickly turned their back and placed their hands over their eyes dramatically.

Arnav chuckled shamelessly and said "Its ok you can turn around now " while Khushi blushed furiously at being caught by their kids.

"Dad are you sure ? We can come back if you want " Thier daughter said naughtily with a giggle. "Ya dad take your time no rush " their son too commented chuckling. With each passing second Khushi's face turned the shade of tomato.

Arnav laughed "I don't mind par am sure tumhare mumma agree nahi karegi " ( I don't mind but am sure your mom wont agree )

With another giggle and laugh their 24 yrs old daughter Aashika Singh Raizada and 21 yrs old son Abhay Singh Raizada turned finally and rushed to hug their parents.

"Happy 25^th Anniversary Mom and Dad " They gave Arnav and Khushi a big bear hug and Aashika kissed them on their cheeks lovingly .Khushi smiled widely, her initial embarrassment forgotten as she hugged her grown up kids with love and joy.

"Wow mom aap iss saadi mein bohot stunning lag rahe hain "( Wow mom you look stunning in this saree ) Abhay admired his mom with a low whistle making Khushi smile brightly.

"Of course after all saree Papa ne choose kiya hai.He knows which color goes well with mom and Infact yeh color mumma ki blushing face ke saath bohot suit karta hai.Kyun Mom "(Of course after all dad chose this saree.He knew which color goes well with mom and infact this color suits well with Mumma's blushing face.Right mom ? ) Aashika asked Khushi teasingly earning a playful pat on her arms and Arnav smirked at Khushi.

Aashika glanced at her watch and gasped "Hey Devi Maiya ! See the time " She turned to her parents with a naughty glint in her eyes "Dad, Mom agar aap dhono ke romance khatam hogaya to neeche chale? Sab aapke wait kar rahe hai " ( Dad mom if both of you have finished romancing can we go down? All are waiting for you )

Abhay laughed when Khushi blushed again "Mom you look so pretty when you blush ab jaldi chaliye " ( Mom you look so pretty when you blush now come down ) with that both of them went down.

Arnav smiled at Khushi and brought his arm forward. Khushi smiled, looping her arms around him and together they stepped downstairs for their grand Silver Jubilee Anniversary Party.

***********************

"Ladies and Gentlemen lets put our hands together and welcome our rocking couple " Abhay Singh Raizada's Voice boomed over the speaker.

A loud cheer and claps erupted when the gorgeous couple Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada descended the stairs arm in arm. The drawing room of Shantivan was converted into a big party hall with several fairy lights and red balloons adorning every corner.

Mamiji and Manohar Mamaji welcomed them with a big hug and wishes. After Naniji passed away 7 years ago.Mamiji and Mamaji were the only elders of the house and they enjoyed bringing up all the kids."Hello Hi Bye Bye Happy Annibershary Arnav Bitwa and Phatti Saadi " Mamiji smiled ear to ear.Inspite of turning 70 last month she still dressed young and considered herself as one of the teenagers.

They then took blessings from Shashi and Garima who hugged and blessed them happily.Over the years Shashi has fully recovered, thanks to Arnav's insistence that he gets best care in the world.Buaji kissed Khushi and Hugged Arnav with tears in her eyes.She thanked her Nanda Kisore for blessing these two with love and prosperity.

Anjali-Aman, Aakhash-Payal and NK-Lavanya conveyed their hearty wishes and hugged the happy beaming couple.The kids have indeed planned a great party, Arnav thought admiringly as he gazed at the stylish arrangements and decorations.

"Come on chaliye its cake cutting time !! " The kids yelled in chorus and pushed the happy couple towards the dias.Arnav smiled at Khushi lovingly and wrapping an arm around her waist he held her hand in his and together they cut the big giant cake that said "Happy 25^th Anniversary "

Everyone cheered and hooted when Arnav fed Khushi. Khushi smiled brightly when their kids fed them cake and hugged them again happily.

"Ok Guys now its time for some Dance.Bade Pa Badi Ma come on get on the dance floor "said the DJ cheerfully.The DJ for the evening is NK and Lavanya's only handome Son Sagar, who has become a very successful DJ and a musician at the young age of 23.

Khushi denied feeling shy suddenly and to her surprise Arnav offered his hand and shot her a toe curling smile which she can never deny in a million years.She smiled and placed her hands in his as another round of applause and cheers went on.

The lights dimmed and Arnav pulled Khushi closer by the waist.She looped her arms around his neck and smiled happily as the song boomed over the speaker.

"Jo Pehle Hua na ''Ab hone laga hai

Dil humko jaga kar kyun sone laga hai..

Yeh ishq hai ya kuch aur hai

Bas khali khali shor hai

Oh isko mein kya karu tu hi bata..tu hi bata..

Iss Pyaar ko kya naam doon'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.."

All through the song Arnav and Khushi had eyes only for each other.The crowd and the noise around them dissolved as Arnav held Khushi closely and moved with her in sync with the music. He swung her around and brought her close to him again.Inhaling her sweet scent.Khushi felt as if she is in heaven.She felt as if she is the luckiest person alive as she gazed at a pair of chocolate brown eyes which reflected loads of love for her .

Anjali ' Aman, NK-La and Aakhash- Payal also danced along smiling at their respective partners.The children admired the obvious love between all the couples even though they have turned old over the years.

***************

Arnav and Khushi were chatting with some foreign delegates and clients when one of them said "ASR you must be really proud of your daughter. At such an young age she has an amazing business sense and fighting spirit.I can see you in her "

Arnav and Khushi beamed proudly and glanced at their daughter who was chatting and laughing with Samyukta , Sanjana (Aman and Anjali's daughters) and Rohit , Ria ( Payal ' Akash teenage son and daughter ) A big shriek and laugh erupted , as she playfully applied cake all over Abhay making him chase her in return.

Aashika indeed inherited the same qualities of Arnav and his attitude when it comes to business.After finishing her MBA in Harvard she joined AR fashions to assist her father, Aman and Aakhash.And in two years she has made a place for herself in AR and is capable of negotiating with top clients all alone and is a tigress in finalizing big deals.

Another client smiled and commented "Arey their son Abhay is no less.He is a hot shot journalist and recently received an award for covering the most sensational news efficiently " Khushi smiled proudly at Arnav and Arnav smiled back.

When Abhay wanted to do journalism Arnav was hesitant as he was hoping his son will study management and assist him in Fashion House. But when he realized Abhay's heart lay in studying journalism and he wanted only to be a journalist he dint deny him of his happiness and now as a result, his son has made a name for himself at such young age.

As they continued to listen to the praises for their son and daughter, Khushi and Arnav felt proud at their kids achievement. The evening couldn't have been better.

*******************

Few hours later'..

Arnav and Khushi sat by the poolside gazing at the stars.Arnav leaned against the recliner and Khushi laid her head on his shoulders, as she sat encircled in his arms.

"Arnav hum aaj bohot khush hai.Sab bachon ne humare liye kitne ache party raki hai.Aur aapke clients ne Aashu aur Abhay ke baarein mein jo kuch bhi kaha use sun kar hum bohot bohot bohot khush hai " ( Arnav am very happy today.All the kids have thrown such a big party for us and After listening to your clients talk about Aashu and Abhay that way am really really really happy) she said turning to look him with a big wide smile.

Arnav smiled and kissed her lips softly "I know am really proud of them.But Khushi I cant believe its our 25^th Anniversary today.I mean I just feel like I got married to you only yesterday " he said with a smirk and she blushed.

He chuckled "You know Khushi it never fails to amuse me how you can still blush like a new bride every time I kiss you or flirt with you even after 25 years " Khushi smiled and hugged him close.

He dropped a soft kiss on her forehead and cupped her cheeks "Khushi thanks so much for coming to my life and for making it complete.If you hadn't fallen into my arms and in turn spoiling my fashion show that day, I wouldn't have met you.And I would have lived my life all alone like some machine.After meeting you I started believing in many things and this is one such thing " he said pointing to the stars.

"I now fully believe that our passed away loved ones are looking after us from above and bless us all the time " He said as he gazed at the 5 bright stars.If their Nani was here she could have been really happy to see them like this.

Khushi too gazed at the stars and silently thanked their parents and Naniji for blessing them with amazing kids and a lovely happy life.

Khushi turned around and pressed a soft kiss on his lips and whispered "I love you Arnav "

Arnav dropped soft kiss on her hair "I love you too and you are all mine Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada " he said with a smirk and hugged her back into his arms enclosing her in a blanket to wade off the chill of the winter night. Eventually both of them slept like that wrapped in the cocoon of the blanket and in each other's arms.
