Part 10:
Nikki drove back home cursing herself for being so stupid for inviting Abhi to help her. But then again, that was the only way she got her work done. The sangeet was going to be a blast!
Nikki parked her car on the driveway and saw Abhi's car in front of hers. Phew, she thought. He made it back.
Nikki ran inside the house and saw Abhi sitting in front of the TV watching a cricket match.
"Tumhari interrogation khatam ho gayi kya?" Abhi asked not taking his eyes off the television.
Nikki hated it when Abhi was right. Especially when she had argued for so long against him. "Haan," she replied sighing. "Lekin tumhari car tum kahi aur park nahin kar saktete kya? Armaan aur Rahul ne sawal puchne shuru kar diye the."
Abhi rolled his eyes. "Please Nikki. Agar tumhe koi problem tha meri parking space se to tum mujhe us waqt bata sakti thi. Ab chila ke kya milega tumhe?"
"Abhi!" Nikki exclaimed. "Stop it!"
"Stop what?" Abhi asked in return.
Nikki noticed how he hadn't looked at her once since she had stepped in the house. "Turn off the stupid TV Abhi!" Nikki yelled back.
"Kyun?"
"Kyunki hume tyaar hona hai sangeet ke liye."
"I thought tum nahin chati ke main tumhari pas aau."
"Nahin Abhi."
"Nahin?"
"I mean haan, Abhi."
"Haan? Yaneke maine sach kaha? Tum nahin chahti!?"
"I mean…nahin Abhi, tum galat ho. Aur main chahti hoon ke tum mere pas sangeet chalo."
"Thik hai. Agar tum itna bol rahi ho to chalta hoon."
"Abhi!" Nikki laughed throwing a pillow at him. "Ab chalo room mein. Tumhare kapde nakalti hoon main."
Abhi made his way upstairs to their beautiful room and saw Nikki holding up a few saris in her hand.
"Kaunsi aachi lagegi?" she asked herself.
"Sab aachi lagegi," Abhi replied hugging her from the back. "They'll all look beautiful on this queen."
He slowly kissed her on her cheek. And started making his way down her neck. The two had been together for quite some time now. And this was definitely not the first time Abhi was touching her like this. But no matter how many times they had had these moments, she felt the same every single time. Nikki lost control and dropped the saris she was holding. She turned to face Abhi and kissed him on the lips. Time started passing quickly and neither of them were ready to step away.
Ring. Ring. The phone rang.
Nikki suddenly took a step away from Abhi and realized how she had gotten carried away. She looked at Abhi and saw him looking back smiling. Her face suddenly felt as if it was on fire and she looked away with embaressment. Nikki ran to her cellphone and saw it was Armaan calling.
Abhi peaked from behind her and sighed. "God, yeh to hamesha disturb karte rehte hai! Kuch aur kam nahi hai kya!?"
"Hush Abhi," Nikki whispered before she picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she asked still taking deep breaths.
"Kyu hua Nikki?" Armaan asked concerned.
"Kuch nahi. Kyun?"
"Tumhe sun kar to aisa lag raha hai ke tum bhag ke ghar gayi ho."
"Nahin, woh bus…umm…tumhara phone baja aur main bahar thi. Is liye ander bhag ke aayi."
"Oh," Armaan replied still not convinced. "Anyways…4 bajne aaye hai. Jaldi aao!"
"Haan haan. Aa rahi hoon mein."
Nikki hung up the phone and picked up the sarees she had dropped.
"Abhi?" she called. "Help me decide which one to wear!"
"Hmm…" Abhi replied. "How about you don't wear any of these?"
"Kya?"
"Kya kya?"
"Uf-oh Abhi! Kya matlab hai tumhara?" Nikki asked frustrated.
Abhi walked to the closet and pulled out a beautiful silver gift box and gave it to Nikki.
Nikki smiled. Abhi always surprised her with little presents every now and then. Nikki opened the box with excitement like a little kid. And in it she found a beautiful blue and green sari (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Tq0LlMuM1K4/SJSkfDQMiTI/AAAAAAAAAjY/ZOSyd7ONmyA/s400/green-butterfly-pallu-saree.jpg ) with perfect accessories to go with it!
"Awwnn, Abhi!" she exclaimed holding it up. "This is beautiful! Soo lovely!"
She quickly ran to the bathroom to change. Abhi smiled and sat on the bed waiting for Nikki to come out.
"Abhi!!!" Nikki called. "Help karo na please!"
"Kya hua?" Abhi asked opening the bathroom door. He stood holding the door knob starring at Nikki.
She looked stunning wearing the saree. She had her long hair coming down from her shoulder on one side. She was now trying to close the hook on her blouse where her hand couldn't reach.
"Abhi," Nikki called again. "Wahan khade khade kya dekh rahe ho? Jaldi yeh band kar do na."
Abhi slowly walked to her and started doing the hooks.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Nikki's phone rang once again.
"Ye saale ko to main ek din murder kardoga!" Abhi exclaimed. "Kitna bhura timing hai!"
"Abhi," Nikki warned. "Chill."
She ran to her phone and picked it up.
"Haan haan, Anjali," Abhi heard her saying. "Bas tayar hi ho rahi hoon."
Abhi let a out big sigh as Nikki walked to the closet to find something for Abhi to wear. She picked out a blue sherwani that looked so good on Abhi and matched her dress perfectly. As Abhi changed in the room, she made her way back to the bathroom to apply makeup and put on her jewellery. She sat in front of the mirror curling her hair when her eyes moved to Abhi who had walked in to check on her.
"Ouch!" she yelled as the curler burned her finger.
"Kya hua?" Abhi yelled worried as her ran to her.
Abhi took her finger and put it under the tap. "Couldn't you pay more attention?" he scolded her.
"I was paying attention," she said slowly. "To you."
Abhi kissed Nikki on the cheek and said, "Stupid. Chalo warna phir se koi aur ohone karega."
Nikki smiled as Abhi went outside to start the car. She finished getting ready and ran outside to Abhi.
"Chale?" Abhi asked holding open the door for her.
Nikki sat in the car and they made their way to the sangeet.
Nikki and Abhi walked in looking dashing, especially since they were standing together! Most eyes turned to them and admired them.
"Nikki!" Ridhima called. Nikki looked towards her direction and saw Armaan following closely behind. Both were wearing the same colour! Ridhima was wearing a green salwar (http://varafashion.com/images/anarkali-10.jpg) and Armaan a green sherwani.
"Hey guys!" she replied back.
"Nikki, you look gorgeous!" Ridhima commented. "And when you and Abhi walked through that door, you guys looked as if you were a happily married couple! Seriously yaar, woh actually aacha lag raha hai aaj!"
"Excuse me?" Armaan interrupted. "Aacha? Dr. Abhimanyu Modi aache dikh rahe hai!?"
Ridhima slapped Armaan lightly in the hand. "Shut up, Armaan. Woh itna bhura nahin hai. I mean seriously."
"I even mean seriously, Ridhima!" Armaan argured.
"Aacha," Nikki interrupted. "Thanks for your comment, Ridhima. Ab main jao tab aap argue karna continue kariye ga. Bye."
As Nikki started to walk away, Armaan called.
"Nikki, ek minute," he said.
"Kya hai?"
"Woh ek sawal tha."
"Haan bolo na…"
"Tum Abhimanyu ke saath kyun aayi? I mean maine dekha ke tum dono ek hi car mein aaye ho."
Nikki gasped. Uh-oh. Ab? Ab kya karu main? Kya kahoon mein isse?
"Uh…Armaan woh…actually meri car…meri car kharab ho gayi thi," Nikki said thinking of the excuse on the spot.
"To mujhe bola leti!" Armaan exclaimed. "Us…us…Abhimanyu Modi ko kyun?"
"Actually Nikki tumhe hi phone karne wali thi…" Abhi interrupted. "Lekin mein puhoch gaya.
"Thik hai. Thik hai," Armaan said back not wanting to hear.
"I know yaar," Atul said walking towards them in a beige and purple sherwani wuth Anjali following him in a purple anarkali salwar (http://varafashion.com/images/anarkali-9.jpg). "Aaj Anjali bahut aachi lag rahi hai na?"
"Kya?" Nikki replied confused. "Atul hum Anjali ki baat nahi kar rahe the! Par…kehna padega Anji, you look quite hot!"
"Thanks," Anjali replied smiling.
"Hey guys!" Atul continued. "I just noticed. Sari couples ne matching kapde pehne hai!"
"Ridz ne mere kapde decide kiye the!" Armaan said smiling and winking at Ridhima.
"Aur Anji ne mere," Atul said holding Anjali's hand. "Par Nikki, tumhare aur Dr. Modi ke kapde ma-"
Nikki pretended she didn't hear and interrupted Atul. "Yeh Rahul aur Muskaan kahan hai?"
"Pata nahi," Ridhima replied looking around.
"Yeh dekho," Anjali said smiling. "Dulha aa gaya."
Rahul walked down the stairs wearing a beige sherwani with maroon design. "Hey guys!" he excmailed all excited. "Muskaan kab aa rahi hai?"
"Hume kya pata?" Nikki replied rolling her eyes. "Tumhe pata hona chahiye na?"
"Aunty aur Uncle usko bas le kar aate hi hote," Ridhima replied.
The interns started their conversations as Armaan pulled Rahul away.
"EY!" Rahul exclaimed. "Yeh..yeh kya kar rahe ho!? Sab dekh rahe hai. Aur Muskaan ne dekha to pata nai kya soochengi woh mere bare main."
"Are…are yaar!" Armaan said slapping Rahul's head. "Shut up and listen. Woh…Nikki kuch ajeeb nahin lagti aag?"
"Haan yaar!" Rahul exclaimed. "She looks like a girl! Makeup? Saree? Wow!"
"Exactly!" Armaan replied. "Saree? Aur Nikki? Aur dekha ke uski saree ka colour aur Abhimanyu ki sherwani ka colour same hai!"
"To?" Rahul asked not caring about anything else and waiting for Muskaan to come.
"To!? To…humko uus par nazar rakhni chahiye. Like…I think that she is having an affair."
"Mujhe bhi lagtata ke woh kuch chupa rahi hai. Lekin kuch proof nahin hai."
Armaan explained to Rahul about them coming to the sangeet together and wearing matching colours and how Abhi stuck up for Nikki. Something was definitely cooking.
"Cha lab jaane do mujhe! Muskaan aa gayi hai! Aur uska dil toot jaayega agar usne mujhe aise tumhari pas dekh liya to!" Rahul said pushing Armaan away.
"Are yaar! Yeh ladka bhi na!" Armaan whined walking after Rahul.
Rahul walked to Muskaan (http://www.sanginionline.com/bridal-sarees-pi-906.html?zenid=11c70c3dcc4b8b4f124890bd4069314a) who was being hovered around her friends.
