MINE

Part 17 - Royal

KHUSHI

Wow! I felt like I had gone back to the nineteenth century and I was visiting a king's palace, Arnav's house looked so Royal, everything about it screamed Royalty.

"Is your family Royal?" I looked at him.

"Yeah, our ancestors were, it's just come along." He shrugged as he gestured to me to walk inside so I followed him, he dint seem much interested in talking about, I mean if I came from a Royal family, I could be screaming about it to everyone.

As we walked into the huge hall, I couldn't even describe in words how huge it was, I couldn't even blink my eyes anymore, this place was beautiful from outside but from inside it was far better.

Each and everything about it just screamed Royalty.

A lot of people had gathered in the hall seated on those Royal chairs as if they were busy having a meeting, once the both of us walked in, they all looked at us and I felt so conscious suddenly.

All of them stood up, they kind of looked surprised, now I don't know if they were surprised because Arnav brought a girl home or because of the way I was dressed, if I knew I was going to be met with something like this, I would have dressed for it.

I was wearing a black casual mini dress with canvas shoes, and here all of them were dressed so Royally, I dint think things like this existed nowadays even.

Some ladies were dressed in beautiful Saree's, some in beautiful Indian dresses and the men too were dressed in the Royal sherwani, they were all so colorful.

I looked at them and looked at Arnav who was dressed completely opposite of them, you wouldn't even know this was his family.

They all walked towards us and now I was kind of feeling nervous, when he told me he was taking me home, this isn't what I expected, were all this people his family members or some were just guests?

There was one old lady, she looked like his grandmother maybe, I was just guessing then a couple standing together, they looked like his parents. The rest were four men, young but I guess of different ages and five ladies, one of them looked of his parent's age the other three were young.

Wow, those were a lot of people and they were all looking at Arnav and me, maybe waiting for Arnav to say something.

"Is there dinner for the both of us?" Arnav asked plainly.

"What? You're having dinner with us?" The woman I guessed to be his mother looked at him in surprise.

The rest of the people looked at him like he had gone insane and I stood there blankly having no idea what the hell was going on.

"If you all are going to look at me like that, I'm going to change my mind. Let's go eat outside Khushi." He looked at me, he seemed kind of angry but he was also trying to maintain his calm. What was wrong with him? Why was he behaving this way with his family members?

"No, don't go. Dinner is ready, we all were going to eat in a while, we can start now that you are here." The other lady that looked his mother's age said, Arnav nodded.

"I'll go change, Khushi please be comfortable." He said to me, I nodded as he headed upstairs and disappeared in seconds, now it was way awkward with his family, they all were staring at me, maybe thinking I was an alien or something.

"Are you his girlfriend?" The little girl asked, she seemed the youngest member of the family.

"No, I just work with his company." I replied with a smile.
