Chapter Seventeen - MAHA Update

Arnav and Khushi moved towards Aryan and bent down to take his blessings. Aryan was more than happy and then hugged them tightly.

"You've made me really proud today," Aryan said.

The newly wedded couple smiled at him and then went to Dai Ma. They took blessings from her and she happily gave it.

"Always be happy," she smiled. "Though I must warn you Khushi, he can be a bit childish now and then."

Khushi chuckled lightly while Arnav gave Dai Ma a face, who started to chuckle as well. Then they moved towards Khushi's parents to get their blessings. It was obvious they didn't care, but Arnav didn't care. Khushi was his now, and that was all that mattered.

Then they went to Shyam, who gave them a tight squeeze. When they looked back at him, his eyes were filled with tears.

Shyam caressed Khushi's face. "You're finally married Di. You're not gonna forget this brother of your's are you?"

Khushi bit her lip, shaking her head with tears streaming and Shyam have her a tight hug.

"Hush Di, not today," but he was shedding tears himself.

Khushi looked at him and caressed his face in her hands. "Promise to be good. And not to be so much of a tension."

"Di-"

"And study! Make sure your education goes well. And find my sister in-law."

"Didi," he said, looking side to side embarrassed.

"I'm serious Shyam. But keep your education in mind."

"How can I without you? You always kept me on task."

Aryan came forward. "Don't worry. You'll still see your sister in school."

Both looked at him in surprise, as well as everyone else. Well, except for Arnav.

"Khushi will continue school and graduate," Aryan stated. "I give you my word."

Khushi was in tears again. She couldn't help but to hug Aryan and Aryan smiled, holding her.

Aryan looked down at Khushi. "Today, I'm not taking my bahu home."

Everyone gaped at him. Especially Arnav.

"What," Arnav exclaimed. "But why?"

Aryan looked at him. "Because I'm taking my daughter home."

Khushi smiled with tears and hugged Aryan again, Arnav sighing in relief. He went over to his wife and held her hand.

"Shall we go," Arnav questioned.

Khushi noticed her parents, who paid no mind, and Arnav noticed her looking at them. When Khushi looked back at Arnav, he shook his head, admonishing her to pay no mind to her parents. Khushi smiled lightly and nodded.

And so the biddai began. Khushi walked side by side with Arnav towards the car. She cried, tossing rice back, Shyam at her other side. Everyone followed behind, Shashi and Garima as well. Once they got to the car, Khushi hugged Shyam tightly and cried. Shyam shed a few tears, trying his best not to, but he gave in and hugged his sister tightly.

He pulled away and cupped her face. "Stop crying Di. I'll still see you in school. Hmm?"

Khushi nodded and then Shyam gave her a final hug.

Shyam looked at Arnav. "If you ever hurt my sister-"

"I won't," Arnav promised. "Count on that."

Shyam and Arnav hugged. He helped his sister in the car and then Arnav went around and sat.

Aryan went to Shashi and Garima. "I am very lucky to have your daughter as my son's wife."

The two have a tight smile.

"Today I'm not taking your daughter, but my daughter."

The two looked at him.

"Since you two couldn't be parents to her, you two shouldn't be considered it," he said lowly, and then left.

Shashi and Garima slightly gaped but then snapped back to reality. Aryan got into a different car with Dai Ma and they all headed to Raizada Mansion.

Once they left, everyone cleared out and left. Shyam sighed and stood there with his arms crossed. Shashi and Garima were about to go in when Shyam spoke.

"She'll be much more happier there."

Shashi and Garima looked at him.

"And one thing for sure, she'll get the love she never got," and he headed inside.

*~*

Khushi looked out the window, some tears flowing. Suddenly, she felt Arnav holding her hand. He shook his head, gesturing for her not to cry. Khushi smiled lightly and nodded.

Arnav reached out and wiped her tears. "We haven't been married an hour, and my wife is already crying."

Khushi giggled a bit, with a mixture of crying. Arnav held her hands and lifted them to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

"I don't wanna see you cry anymore. 'Kay?"

Khushi nodded. "Okay."

"Good. From now on, it's nothing but happiness. 'Kay?"

Khushi nodded.

He kissed her knuckles again. "I love you Khushi."

Khushi's heart melted. "I love you too Arnav."

Soon they arrived to Raizada Mansion. The gates opened and in they went. At the door stood Dai Ma and the newly wedded couple came out. She welcomed them in and Khushi knocked over the little pot filled with rice. She stepped into the alta and walked inside. Leaving her footprints behind, Arnav helped Khushi into their home. Khushi looked in amazement, the mansion being beautifully decorated.

They were lead into the ballroom, where many people awaited. Khushi felt a bit nervous when she saw the people, but Arnav held her hand, assuring her things were okay.

The newly wedded couple were seated and soon, people began to come up. They were family and friends of the Raizada's and they all loved Khushi. There were some close family relatives there as well, like Arnav's cousin Akash. His parents and his fiancé, Payal, had come. Also, Arnav's cousin NK had come, who came along with his parents, sister, Lavanya, and wife, Seema. NK and his family had come all the way from Sydney just to see Khushi.

"Thank you so much for coming," Khushi said shyly. "It must have been trouble-"

"Not at all," NK said. "Nanav's wedding? And I miss it? Never."

Khushi giggled lightly. "Nanav?"

"See, he couldn't say his name as a kid. He would say 'Nanav' and since then, I would call him that, just to tease him."

"And boy does it urk me," Arnav smiled fakely.

"Oh Nanav, always gonna be the same."

"Where's Seema when I need her."

Seema came over giggling. "Bhai, you know he'll never stop. Even if I try."

"Oh wifey, you know me so well," NK flirted.

"Get a room," Akash teased, as he came over with Payal.

"Glad to."

"Gross," Lavanya said as she came over.

Khushi giggled lightly.

"I think it should be the newly weds to get a room. Don't you think," NK teased.

Khushi went red and Arnav gave NK a face.

"NK stop," Seema said. "You're making Khushi Bhabi blush."

And Khushi went redder.

"I think it just got worse," Payal said.

And Khushi nearly turned into a tomato.

"Okay, I think that's enough," Arnav said.

"Aww, look at Bhai being overprotective," Akash teased.

"At least he's protecting her," Payal teased.

"Hey!"

"Okay, guys, stop," Arnav said.

The five chuckled.

"Alright, let's leave them alone," NK said, and they left.

Once they were out of earshot, Arnav spoke to Khushi.

"Sorry about that."

"It's okay," Khushi said, and then she looked at them. "I like them."

"Do you now?"

"Mm hmm," she nodded.

*~*

Once the guests left, Khushi was taken upstairs to Arnav's, now their, room. All of Khushi's stuff got moved in and Khushi was all ready.  She stood at the vanity table and removed her jewelry, when Dai Ma came in with a red sari.

"Here you go," Dai Ma said. "Why don't you quickly change into this?"

Khushi nodded and took it. "Okay."

Dai Ma nodded and then left. Khushi removed the rest of her jewelry and then quickly went to the bathroom to change. She came out and went to the mirror to check if she looked okay.

Taking in a deep breath, she sighed. Okay Khushi, she said in her head, this is your suhag raat. Now just relax. She took in a deep breath and then let it out. Everything will be just fine. Or is it? No, no everything will be fine. But what of it hurts? No, Khushi, stop. You've read romance novels; it's nothing. It's just going to be romantic. ... oh who am I kidding?! Books lie!

Arnav came in through the door and shut it. Khushi gasped and looked through the mirror. He was wearing a loose, white button down and jeans. Arnav looked Khushi up and down, admiring how sexy she looked.

Especially since she was in his favorite color, red.

*MATURE CONTENT AHEAD*
Arnav walked over to Khushi and Khushi looked down. She was nervous. Beyond nervous. She didn't know if she could face Arnav. But before she could make up her mind, Arnav wrapped his arms around her, making Khushi gasp and grasp the vanity table.

"Finally," Arnav whispered hoarsely, moving her hair aside. "All. To. Myself," he said in between kisses on the crook of her neck.

Arnav began to nibble on her neck, sucking on it as well. Khushi grasped his hands and let out a low moan.

"Arnav," she whispered.

Arnav let out a low growl from his throat and ran his nose up her neck. "You're finally mine."

Khushi felt her core thud.

"To cherish. To care. To love," he said in between kisses.

Khushi moaned softly. She felt something on her back. A bulge or something like that, but she wasn't sure what it was.

Arnav turned her around and cupped her face and made her look at him. Khushi looked up at him shyly and Arnav leaned in and kissed her. At first, Khushi was still, but then she melted and allowed herself to give in, missing his kisses from their short time of seperation. Arnav didn't hold back at all and pulled her in close. Her body crashed into his and she wrapped her arms around him tightly.

As Arnav went moving from her lips and neck, Khushi moaned. She couldn't help but to love the feeling she was getting. She felt slightly wrong, but she didn't pay too much mind to it for too long.

"Khushi," Arnav said in between kisses, "let. Me. Love. You."

Khushi pulled back and caught her breath. Her chest heaved as she looked at Arnav, who was already looking at her. Khushi just looked at the man before her. She loved him. Unconditionally, no doubt, loved him. And if there was anyone she trusted, it was Arnav.

"Love me," she breathed.

Arnav groaned, kissed her, and then swooped down and picked her up. Khushi wrapped her arms around his neck and gazed away at Arnav. Arnav looked at her as well, as he walked through the huge room. He set her down on the floor, beside the bed. He turned her so that her back faced him.

Arnav brought his hand up to move her pallu aside, when Khushi stiffened, grasping her sari over her belly. Arnav moved her hair aside and whispered in her ear.

"Do you trust me Khushi?"

Khushi tried to calm herself and nodded, letting go of her sari.

"Do you love me Khushi?"

Khushi nodded again. "I do love you," she whispered.

Arnav kissed her below her ear and slowly brushed her pallu off. The sari being slightly heavy, it just slipped off and fell to the floor. Khushi gasped as it hit the floor. Moving his hand to her waist, Arnav slowly removed the rest of her sari and it all fell to the floor.

Khushi began to breath at a faster pace and her chest heaved. Arnav slowly turned her around and looked at her.

"Look at me," Arnav whispered hoarsely.

Khushi gulped and gathering courage, she slowly looked up at him. She had never been this undressed before anyone. Arnav pulled her closer to him and kissed her. Khushi was still, feeling nervous, and Arnav didnt like it, so he bit her lower lip. Khushi moaned, and Arnav slipped his tongue into her mouth. He explored every bit of it and took in her taste.

Khushi was into the kiss, when she felt Arnav's hand snake up and pull the string to her blouse. Khushi gasped and pulled away, turning away and covering herself. Her blouse was a halter blouse, so she hadn't worn her bra. Now that it was untied, and since it was just simple cloth, it just hung around her neck, the sides of her breasts exposed.

Arnav leaned forward and kissed her shoulder. Khushi shuddered and held onto herself tighter.

"Khushi, if you don't want to do this," Arnav whispered, "then you don't have to. If you feel uncomfortable, we can wait."

Khushi shook her head. "No," she whispered, "I want this."

Slowly, she moved her hands down and set them at her side. She was going to turn back to face him, but Arnav held her still.

"Are you sure," he whispered.

Khushi nodded. "Yes," she whispered.

Arnav moved his hands down and pulled the string to her petticoat. It fell to the floor and Khushi stiffened. Knowing the expected, Khushi hadn't worn anything underneath. And now her whole backside was on display.

"Are you positive you want to do this," Arnav whispered.

Khushi nodded hesitantly, feeling really nervous.

Grabbing the sides of her blouse, Arnav lifted it up and tossed the scrap of cloth aside. Now Khushi was even more nervous. Arnav kissed her shoulders and then trailed to her neck. Khushi allowed her body to melt into it. Arnav slowly turned her around while trailing along her throat to the other side of her neck. Khushi held onto his arms for support, her knees feeling weak.

Arnav let go and looked at her. Khushi stood frozen as he scanned her body up and down. His eyes met hers and he kissed her.

"So beautiful," he whispered in between kisses. "So, so beautiful."

Khushi let out a low moan. "Arnav," she whispered.

Slowly moving her back, he laid her back on the bed. The two gazed away at each other for a moment, but Khushi felt shy and turned her head away. Arnav made her look at him, but Khushi remained shy.

Armav kissed her, allowing himself to get lost in her. Khushi loved his touch on her and would let out low, soft moans now and then. She helped Arnav out of his shirt and gazed at the sculpted chest that belonged to her husband. For a second, she felt guilty for having this beautiful man.

Unable to control himself anymore, Arnav began to remove his jeans. Khushi froze, watching Arnav as he stripped off his clothes, being left with nothing but his natural form. Khushi's eyes caught his manhood and she quickly looked back at his face. She felt wrong and guilty for seeing it.

But Arnav had caught it and smirked to himself. Looming over her, Khushi felt the bulge again. And this time, she had figured out what it was as she gasped, feeling it. Her eyes had looked down to make sure her theory was right, and she quickly looked back up at him.

Arnav smirked lightly and kissed her cheek. "Khushi, it's okay," he whispered.

Khushi looked at him confused.

"It's okay to look."

Khushi went red and turned away.

Arnav found it cute and kissed her other cheek. "It's okay baby. This is me. All of me. And being your husband, you have to get to know me better."

Khushi looked at him. He had his signature smirk on, which meant he was only going to tease her now.

"Just like I have to get to know you," he continued. "So if I've seen everything," he said slowly, running his hand up from her left thigh to up to her breast, "then you should too."

Khushi squirmed at his touch and her mouth dropped into a silence 'ah'.

"But we'll take things slowly," Arnav whispered. "We've known each other a short time but love each other a lot..."

Khushi felt her heart melt.

"... and in our time together, we'll know each other even more than before. And above all, love each other."

Khushi felt tears forming.

Arnav cupped her face. "Khushi, I promise, that I will always love you. The love you haven't gotten since childhood - I will give you that. Your parents couldn't do it and that's too bad for them. Forget them. I will make up for it. If i have to, I'll sacrifice everything. Even my life if-"

Khushi covered his mouth and shook her head. "I love you," she whispered, tears flowing.

"Oh baby, don't cry," and he kissed her, kissing her tears away.

Khushi calmed down and kissed Arnav. "I want to be yours," she whispered.

Arnav stroked his fingers on her cheek. "Baby you already are," he whispered back.

"I want to be yours body and soul."

Arnav gaped at Khushi, his lips slightly parted. Khushi just looked at him, waiting for his answer. Within a few seconds, Arnav snapped out of trance and smiled. He kissed her and didn't stop this time. He got lost in her and Khushi allowed herself to enjoy his touch, his kisses, and his lovely nothing's.

Leaving her lips, Arnav went trailing down, kissing her chin and throat, and straight to her breasts. Khushi felt foreign to this and gulped. Arnav rubbed his nose through her cleavage and Khushi's hand automatically went to his hair. Arnav liked the little tug he received and trailed to her right breast with fluttering kisses. He kissed her erected nipple and then traced back to the left breast and did the same. Khushi moaned to it, shutting her eyes in passion. Arnav felt turned on by that and he caught her breast in his mouth and sucked.

"Ah," Khushi moaned.

Arnav sucked and swirled his tongue around her nipple. Using his hand, he treated her other breast so it wasn't "left behind". Khushi's back arched, pushing her breasts more towards him. Loving her reaction, Arnav teethed her nipple.

"Ah! Arnav," she moaned, pulling at his hair.

Arnav sucked on it softly and kissed it before looking up at Khushi. She was red, her chest heaving as she breathed.

Arnav smirked sexily and kisses her. "Did you like it," he whispered.

Khushi nodded shakily.

"Again?"

Khushi nodded again.

This time, Arnav paid attention to her left breast. He did the same to the other, while using his hand to tease the right. It made Khushi scream deliciously and it would make Arnav groan.

He traveled down from breasts to her navel. He swirled his tongue and would nip it and Khushi would grasp onto his hair. Going lower, he hovered over her femininity. He look up at Khushi, who was looking at him anxiously. Keeping his eyes on her, Arnav kissed her there.

Khushi gasped. She couldn't believe what she had seen with her own two eyes. Arnav was so bold! Not that she didn't know before, but to this extent, she had no idea.

Arnav came trailing back up with wet kisses and hovered over her lips. "That can wait for another time," and he kissed her softly. "Are you ready," he whispered on her lips.

Khushi shuddered and nodded. "Y-yes," she breathed.

Positioning her properly and having her hold her knees close to her, he positioned himself. Reaching over to his bedside table, he pulled open the top drawer and got out a foil packet. Ripping it open, he took out the condom and rolled it down on his erection. Khushi gulped looking at the size of his thing and wondered if she was big enough down there for him to fit. Placing the tip of his erection at her entrance, Khushi gasped and Arnav kissed her softly.

"This might hurt a bit," Arnav whispered, and he entered.

Khushi gripped onto his arms tightly. "Argh!"

She had her eyes tightly shut and her lips pursed. Though he loved the feeling he was getting and was groaning, Arnav knew Khushi was very gentle and as soft as a feather, so this would be a bit painful for her. He kissed her around her face, helping her to calm down. Khushi managed to calm down and she slowly opened up her eyes and looked up at Arnav.

"You okay, babe," Arnav whispered.

Khushi nodded.

Arnav pecked her softly on her lips. "I'm gonna move now," he advised.

Khushi held onto his arms for support and nodded. Arnav pulled out and pushed right back in. Khushi yelped and shut her eyes again, her chest heaving to this unknown feeling.

"Again," Arnav whispered.

Khushi looked up and nodded. Arnav pulled out once more and then pushed back in. Khushi managed not yell out, but she tightened her grip.

"I'm going to continue now babe," Arnav breathed. "But if it hurts, tell me."

Khushi nodded as she breathed and Arnav pulled back and came in again. He didn't stop and continued to do so, going at a nice and slow pace. Khushi couldn't believe this was actually happening and she couldn't believe that she was actually liking this feeling. Though it slightly hurt her, she was enjoying it. She did want Arnav to know, but she felt shy and didn't say anything. But Arnav understood enough from her sayings, like "ah!", "ooh...", "mmmm...", and his favorite, "Arnav...".

Once Arnav figured that she had gotten used to it, he increased his pace. Khushi gasped as she began to get this feeling inside her. She didn't know what it was, but it felt something like... like... a build-up?

Arnav was going even faster and Khushi had picked up his rhythm. She began to tilt her pelvis up to meet him and Arnav groaned at their first meeting. His Khushi was able to do something bold and he knew there was more to this goddess than what meets the eye.

Arnav could tell she was building up, but she was holding back. She didn't know what it was and nor did she have a clue what was happening to her body. Arnav began to kiss her softly on her face, lips and body.

"Let go babe," Arnav whispered. "Don't hold back."

Khushi felt confused as she gasped from the feeling within her.

"Just feel everything Khushi, don't think about it."

Khushi shut her eyes and followed his words. She began to calm down and she relaxed and she forgot about holding onto the feeling. And soon enough, her body was about to give in and Arnav was pushing into her deliciously fast. And within seconds, Khushi came, her eyes tightly screwed shut as she yelled out from her orgasm, shattering into a million pieces. Arnav loved the feeling and he too, groaned out as he came, shattering as well and collapsing on his wife's chest.

Once Arnav caught his breath, he looked down at Khushi. Things were hazy to her but she felt Arnav kiss her on her lips. Arnav pulled out and Khushi winced. She didn't realize Arnav moving and laying down next to her until she felt him turn her towards him. He had her lay her head on his chest and Khushi placed her hand over it and caught her breath.

"Are you okay," Arnav asked, running his fingers through her hair.

Khushi didn't know why, but she felt spectacular. "Hmm."

Arnav smiled and kissed her forehead. "Get some sleep babe. You must be tired."

Khushi nodded. She felt really tired suddenly and it seemed weird. It was like all the energy was sucked out of her in all that intensity. But she had specs of energy in her.

"Arnav," she whispered.

"Hmm?" He had already shut his eyes, absentmindedly stroking her hair.

She looked up at him. "I love you, Arnav."

Arnav opened his eyes and looked at her. Her eyes were wide and filled with love, making Arnav smile.

He tilted her face up by slightly tugging on her hair and kissed her. "I love you too, Khushi."

Khushi blushed and placed her head back on his chest. Eventually, both fell asleep, feeling content and comfort in the arms of the one they love the most.
