Hi guys. Here's the next part. Hope you guys like it. Do comment.
Raghav heard a slight laughter as the door closed on his face. He knew Paakhi was very happy with her victory. He was just about to open the door again, as there was no click after the door closed, when someone called him from behind. He turned back and saw Sammy and Maya walking towards him.
S - "Raghav, what are you doing here?" Maya and Sammy looked behind Raghav at the closed door and started laughing at him. Maya hooked onto Raghav's arms and started pulling him towards the stairs.
M- "Come on, lets go downstairs. Everyone must be waiting."
With a slight frown at his thwarted plan and full intentions to make Paakhi pay for it, he reluctantly started walking with Maya, while Sammy tagged along behind them. While going down the stairs he first noticed the Kapoor's standing together and not mingling with anyone. Even though he hated the fact that they were at his wedding, he enjoyed watching them squirm. If it was up to him, they would not even be anywhere near the venue. But he was ready to go through the torture of their presence for her. She had told him how important it was for a bride that her family be there with her during her wedding and he didn't have it in him to say no to her. He had hurt her a lot when he was focused completely on his revenge and had therefore overlooked her feelings. Even when he had been intent on making her suffer, her main concern was his well being.
As he reached the bottom of the stairs, he spotted the Jadav's and went forward and took their blessings.
R - " Kamla maa." He beamed at her as he went forward for a hug.
K - Raghav Baba, I am so happy to see you smile like this and also with the changes that have come in you. I am so proud of you Raghav Baba."
Raghav looked at her, unable and unwilling to hide his happiness. Yes he had changed. But only she was aware of how much. He still wasn't as expressive with others as he was with her and even at the times when he hid his emotions from her, she was still able to understand what was in his heart.
He stood there for sometime talking to the Jadav's, Sammy and Maya, all the while checking the time. Each minute felt like an hour to him. He was so lost looking at his watch, at first he didn't even register that the pundit had come and said that it was time for the muharat.
That's it for now. Once again, please do comment. 😳
