MINE

Part 57 - The Engagement

KHUSHI

I woke up beside Arnav, he was still taking his nap, today he had another session with Dr. Roopa who was very impressed with his progress, according to her, he has started doing really well in a really short time span which was rare for cases like his, but it looked like staying away from his family is what he needed all along, and when that was done, half his problems were solved.

After more than four mouths of counselling, therapy and treatment, Arnav was doing more than great. Of course he wasn't perfectly well yet, he still needed to have his therapy with Dr. Roopa which was still going to take some time but the progress was good.

Seeing how well he was doing and everything, I didn't think I could wait any longer to pop the question, I mean getting married to him wasn't going to come in between his treatment so why not.

He was going to do way better once we were married and I thought it was the perfect time to ask him if he was ready to tie the knot.

I suddenly sat up realizing, it was Adi's engagement today, and I was still here lying on my bed when I should get ready and get going in case he needs help or something.

"Arnav." I shook him trying to wake him up.

"Yeah." He opened his eyes slightly to look at me.

"I'm going home, I need to get ready and leave for Adi's engagement, I'll see you there, I hope you're coming?"

"Yeah I will. See you later." He said as he went back to sleeping, such a sleepy head he was. Me I couldn't get back to sleeping after I was woken up.

Once I arrived home, I got dressed quickly and decided to head to Adi's place, Ananya was free too so she decided to come along.

On our way, I told her about my decision of getting married to Arnav, she still dint think it was right but as I explained Arnav's progress and everything to her, she did seem to agree with me.

I couldn't wait to ask him and see his reaction, it was going to be epic.

We arrived at Adi's place in no time, once the driver parked the car we both rushed out and headed inside his house, just to find a lot of people inside, working on decorations and arrangements and everything.

"Adi!" I called him out as soon as I saw him.

"Khushi! Thank God you're here. I was going insane trying to manage everything on my own." Adi rushed towards me and stopped din front of us.

"Wow you two look gorgeous."

"Thank." Ananya and I giggled.

"Where are your parents?"

"The car stopped working midway, they are on their way, I still need to get ready and nothing is done here, this engagement is going to be horrible."

"You should have called me idiot! What are friends for?" I slapped him on his arms.

"It dint cross my mind, you have no idea how glad I am that you showed up early. Now you'll handle everything, I'm going to get ready when I come back, everything better be perfect."

"You don't have to worry, it will be." I smiled, he hugged me happily as he walked away after instructing me about everything that was to be done, Ananya and I split the work in between ourselves and got to work.

Our work was all done on time, when Aditya came back after getting ready, he was really relaxed knowing we had handled everything, only if that idiot had called me earlier to come help him.
