Mere Saathi- AN FIC(DMG) part 21 pg 28 - Page 17

It was the day of the wedding. Nikita was nervous but she was excited for today. This was the beginning of a new life for her. She would finally have a family. Ajay and Suman Modi were wonderful. She could go to them for guidance and receive love along with the support she always longed for. Simiran was to be her sister-in-law but she seemed to be the best gal pal she always longed for. Muskaan was everyone's buddy. Riddhima and Anjali always had each other. Now Nikki would have Simi by her side.

When she thought of Abhimanyu she blushes a bright tomato red. She knew they worked together well when they weren't busy playing jokes on each other. However she hoped they would have a great marriage too. She went to get freshened up. Soon Suman, Simiran and some of Abhimanyu's aunties and cousins would arrive to do the haldi rasam. Muskaan and Anjali would also join in. The boys would all be at Abhimanyu's place.

As soon as Nikita opened the door, the girls rushed her into a chair and got the hali ready. In the mist of teasing Nikita, Simiran mentioned that she hadn't told Sheena where they were going, In fact she had erased her alarm so she wouldn't know where everyone went.

" What did Sheena do that you don't want her here?," Anjali inquired.

"She insulted my cute Bhahbi. She tries to butter people to come on her side, but mostly she irritates them!"

" Kya usne meri dost ko insult kiya? If she does that again, I'll will just blow her away. She is just a cruel stick figure. Nikita tum uski baat toh mein mat aana," Muskaan declared.

The girls giggled but stopped short as they noticed the older women returning.

" Thanks Muskaan," Nikita whispered quickly.

Later as Nikita got ready later, she began to recall the events that lead her to this point with Abhimanyu.

The mouse and cat game that was between them. His reaction when she said when she would convince Patil for the project. When he tried reading her diary. When she got scared in the dark in the conference room, they had their first hug. Her misconception that he was taking all the credit for the project. Their first rain together , even if it was for a few moments, he had been close to kissing her. Later the misunderstanding how she did not speak up for him in front of her friends. She recalled the confrontation at his place. She had fallen on the road somewhere. Then she recalled waking up and realizing she had dreamed all of those sweet moments with Abhimanyu.

Then she smiled recalling how he had tucked her back in her bed. Her smile grew as she recalled how they had rebuilt their relationship these past few days.

Her reverie was broken by her friends telling her it was time.

They took her to the waiting car and sat beside her. They all arrived at the wedding hall. The rituals started with them exchanging garlands. They shared an eye lock.

They were soon going to be getting ready for the pheras. Nikita's eyes went wide at the entry way.

" Nikita tumara kanyadaan kaun karega?," Sheena inquired.

Simiran gave her a stern look.

Nikita looked down with a slight smile.

" Hum humari best friend ka kanyadaan karenge," Armaan and Riddhima declared.

Sheena pouted disappointed.

Nikita went over to hug them.

" Nikki while we are around you don't need to worry about anything," Armaan promised.

The wedding ritual continued. After the kanyadaan they did the pheras. Then the panditji asked them to be seated.

Abhimanyu fastened the manglasutra around her neck. Then he placed sindoor in her maang.

The reception was extra special as Rahul officially proposed to Muskaan. Everyone cheered before getting back to dancing and eating all night.

By four o'clock that night, the Modi family returned to Abhimanyu's place to do the games. Nikita was able to snatch the ring from Abhimanyu each time.

"Lagta hai Nikita Bhabhi will have everything in control," Simiran grinned.

Abhimanyu and Nikita blushed.

" Hamesha natutanki karti rehti hai," he muttered.

Nikita smiled.

" We have to keep life interesting sweetheart!,"

Everyone laughed.

Later they took Nikita into the room which was all decorated with roses. Abhimanyu was kept busy with everyone else who wanted to give him advice before they all left.

When Abhimanyu came to his bedroom door, Simiran, and two of their cousins stood there with their hands stretched out.

Abhimanyu put his hands on his hips.

" Simi!"

Simiran smiled.

" Bhaiya, you are only getting in one way. We don't mind sleeping here by the door," she quipped.

Abhimanyu sighed and reached in his pocket.

Simiran grabbed everything and led the other girls to the car where their parents were waiting.

Abhimanyu rolled his eyes and opened the door.
