Ch2.
Abhinav and Shanaya were welcomed traditionally by Abhinav's Mom.Shanaya kicked the ''Kalash'' and dipped her feet in the ''Kumkum'' thaal and stepped in her new house.After the Grihapravesh,Shanaya and Abhinav went inside the Mandir to pray to Goddess Durga to bless them for a happy,married Life. After all these,Abhinav and Shanaya were taken in the Hall for the Post-Wedding rituals.
**************
Everyone were really happy,as the wedding went on smoothly.Sameer,Megha,Riya and their parents',prayed to Goddess Durga for letting the wedding go smooth.As they went to their own rooms to take rest,Riya's mobile beeped.It was from Meera.She smiled and answered the call..
''Khamba Ghani,Meera jiji.. Kaisi hai aap? Aap shaadi mein kyun nahi aayi? Shaanu di aapke baare mein puch rahi thi? Infact,Maasa,Babasaa,Bare Jijusaa,Uncle,Aunty,sab aapke baare mein puch rahe thhe?''
''Sorry,Riya... Aarav ka tabiyat kuch thik nahi thha.. Usse dopaher se bukhar thha... Abhi woh thik hai. Tum Shaanu se meri taraf se Sorry boldena.. Auntyji aur Uncleji ko mera Namaste kehna... Main kal aaungi Shanaya ko dekhne..Kal toh woh Pagfere keliye ayegi hi... Accha chalo.. Mujhe ab Aarav ko davai deni hai.. Take Care.. Bye..''
''Bye,Jiji..''
Saying this,Riya disconnected the call and went to change.. After she came out changing,she fell on the bed and went to sleep,as she was hell tired today.Everybody was hell tired...
On the other hand,Sameer was about to go to sleep,when his phone beeped.He smiled looking at the caller ID.He immediately answered the call..
''Kaisi hai aap,Aayesha? Shaanu missed you so much... Tum jaanti ho na ki tum uske liye bohut maayne rakhti ho? Maasa,Babasaa bhi puch rahe thhe tumhare baare mein?''
''I know,Sam... Par,main bhi kya karti? Leave application bohut pehle di rakkhi thhi,par,mere kharoos boss ne sanction nai kiya... Ab jaake sanction huya hai... Reception se pehle aajaungi,thik hai... Mumma,Papa tumhe bohut miss karte hai... Accha yeh batao,shaadi kaisi hui? Sab thik thak toh thha na?''
''Shaadi bohut acche se huyi hai,Aashu,but,the only lacking was you and one of Shaanu's colleagues... Dont know why didnt she come.. Shaanu was equally attached to her,as well.. Anyways,i also miss Uncle and Aunty... Agli baar,zarur milunga..Aunty ke haatho ki thepla aur Uncle ke saath Chess khele huye bohut din hochuke hai... Jaldi aao na,Aashu.. Missing you a lot...''
''I promise,Sam.. Main reception se pehle hi aajaungi... Accha,ab rakhti hu.. Packing bhi karni hai.. Aunty aur Uncle ko Khamba Ghani bolna and gIve my love to my sweetipies,Meghu and Riyu,ok. Love you,Sam.. Apna khayal rakhna.. Bye..''
''Tumbhi apna khayal rakhna,ok.. Maasa aur Babasaa ko tumhara Khamba Fhani de dunga aur tumhare sweetipies ko hugs aur love bhi dunga... Love you too... Take Care.. Bye...''
With tha,Sameer also disconnects the phone and goes to sleep..
***********
Shanaya and Abhinav were made to sit,opposite to themselves and in between,a bowl was kept,full of milk and rose petals.
''Bhai aur Bhabi,ab Maasa iss bowl mein yeh anguthi rakhengi.Ab dono ko iss mein haath duboke uss anguthi ko dhundna hai.. Jisne pehle chance mein yeh anguthi dhund nikalega,woh hi iss ghar pe raaj karega aur sabke dil aur dimaagh mein... Ready.. No cheating huh... 1..2..3... Start..''
As Pranav blew the whistle,Abhinav and Shanaya dipped their hands inside the bowl and started to search for the ring.A war of hands were going on inside the bowl.Sometimes,Abhinav caught Shanaya's hand,while,sometimes,Shanaya caught Abhinav's hand.Everybody were cheering for Abhinav and Shanaya... Happiness was very much visible on their face.
Atlast,Shanaya took out the ring and emerged as winner.She took Abhinav's left hand and slid that solitaire ring on his ring finger.Everybody clapped for the newly-married couple.Later,Abhinav's Mom asked one lady to take Shanaya inside Abhinav's room,as she must be really tired.Soon,Shanaya was taken inside a very big room,which was lit with scented candles and rose petals all over the bed and the ground.The light of the room was dim,as it created a romantic atmosphere.Shanaya blushed,thinking about what is gong to happen in the next moment.She was told to sit in the middle with her veil,covering her face.
''Hum Abhinav aur Pranav ke Daijaan hai... Bahuraani,hum aapko aur Abhinav ko dhher sara Aashirwaad dete hai ki aap dono apne vyavahik jeevan mein humesha khush rahe... Humesha khush rehna,Baisaa... ''
''Dhanyavaad,Daijaan...'' Shanaya spoke softly..
As Daijaan went out of the room,Abhinav was about to enter,but was stopped by his cousins and Pranav.They were demanding ''Nekh'' money from Abhinav.Agter lots of pestering,Abhinav gave them their ''Nekh'' and finally entered his room and saw his beautiful wife,in veils.
