Chapter 29- the proposal


After a hearty dinner, everyone retired to their rooms, so did khushi she was putting naina off to sleep, while arnav was in his room, pacing up and down is room, in deep thought after so much thinking he came to the conclusion it was time, he came to khushi's room and handed her a packet,
Khushi: whats this arnav,
Arnav I want you to wear it for me please
Khushi: but why
Arnav: khush just wear it and come to my room when you are done
She agreed to wear what he had given her, as she opened the packet she saw a beautiful red saree, that was smart and elegant and with that was a matching ruby necklace, she did as she was told and went to his room once she was ready...
As she reached his room, she found him in the pool side area looking up at the stars, he was in his daily jumper and tracks, his hair was unwound and looked un brushed, he looked hot with un brushed hair, his silhouette from the back could be seen, she entered inside and placed her hands on his chest from behind, as she hugged him from behind, seeing her hands around his chest, he places his palms on them and holds it and kisses her hands and brings her forward, she comes in front and both of them are looking at each other, he sees his mesmerizing beauty who looked know less than a goddess who stepped down from heaven
Arnav: (staring at her) you look beautiful
Khushi blushed, the redness evident I her cheeks with a soft voice she asked
Khushi: arnav how come you asked me to wear this
He smiled at her and held his beauties hand
Arnav: its my mother's I wanted to see how you look in it
Khushi: (eyes wide) your mothers!!
Arnav: ya it is (saying that he pulled her close to him as she fell on his chest he said) do you remember what di said when they found out about our relationship
Khushi: (smiled) yea she was happy
Arnav: and she told me that she was talking to her bhabhi
On hearing that khushi started with her usual blushing again, this time even more her cheeks turned beetroot and her eyes lowered as arnav reminded her about anjili's words, with his index finger and thumb he lifted his fair maidens chin so she looked directly in his coco eyes, as she looked at him, he bent down on one knee and removed a small dark blue velvet clutch box, khushi ecstatic about it, she knew what was coming, he opened the box to reveal a beautiful ruby gold plating ring
He took a deep breath and in a husky voice he said
Arnav: khushi will you be my wife
Khushi couldn't believe what she was hearing, she and be his wife, her heart skipped a beat, she breathed hard and a small smile drew on her lips the answer was evident, she lifted her man up from his knees and looked into his eyes, as she stood there silent in front of him, causing his heart beat faster, but he waited patiently for her to give him an answer she started off by saying
Khushi: (soft low voice) if I will be your wife then you will be my husband and for the world we will belong to each other and each other only, (she left out a breath and paused) arnav there is nothing more in this world that I want than that, (she smiled as did he)yes I will marry you and I will be your wife
As she said that she leaped into his arms and he caught her with excitement, he lifted her off the ground and she clutched onto him, they both smiled and laughed, as he placed her down he made her wear the ruby ring her engagement ring, she was blushing all the while he held her close and then in a swift movement he claimed his fiancs lips in his, they kissed each other with all the passion and love they had, as he broke the kiss she blushed and hid herself on his chest, he smiled and kissed her forehead
Arnav: you know how hot you look when you blush
Khushi hid deeper in him, as he laughed at her, later they shifted to the room and were on the bed, khushi was on his lap and his arm was around her waist, his other hand was in hers, as he caressed her soft hand with his thumb they were talking about the wedding
Khushi: (happy) arnav I am so excited, I wonder how our wedding will be
Arnav: it'll be a grand affair, that's how it'll be, (he giggled)
Khushi: and what will I wear, (she looked at him worried) arnav I am designing my own wedding lengha
Arnav: its your wedding you're the boss, (he kissed her cheeks)
Khushi: (then she slowly asked him) arnav...
Arnav: hmm
Khushi: what made you ask me to.. marry you, today
Arnav: khush actually when di mentioned about the bhabhi thing I saw your face and it was glistening and then it struck me that you would be happy if I asked you, and that's not all the thing is that if we are married then I can claim you and naina as mine permanently in front of everyone, khush I am tired of hiding, I just want us you and me and our little baby together and if that means that I have to marry you then so be it
Khushi: (took his hand and kissed his fist) arnav even I wanted this as badly as you, I was also a bit tired and wanted to settle down, I just never knew how I was going to tell you, but I am glad you did it by yourself, arnav I don't care for your money, even if you were poor I would have stood by you because I love you a lot, you mean the world to me, you are my family then now and will always be, because I know naina and I will be safe with you and you wont let anything happen to us
Arnav: khush I know that money is not important to you, I know you in and out that why I love you, I love you because I know you will stand by me through thick and thin, khushi I promise you I will always protect you and naina from all the harm in this world, trouble will have to first go through me and then come to you or naina, you will always be safe with me
They both embraced in a meaningful hug and then arnav told her that tomorrow morning they would announce the news to the family...
