Nikita was flabbergasted.
"Main hun tumhara gift." A voice boomed through the hall.
Everyone turnrd to see the source of the voice. Some were confused. Some shocked.
Nikita was dumbstruck.
She turned to see Riddhima, Atul and Muskaan's reaction. They had raised one eyebrow.
She turned away from them and looked at us. We had a smug smile on our faces.
The person was watching Nikita's every move with an amused smile. He knew she hadn't told anyone about them.
He came forward and said,
"Tumhe apna gift pasand nahi aaya? Mujhe to bohot pasand aaya."
Nikita then shrieked and said,
"Abhi!" She flung her arms around him.
"Tum yahan?"
"Haan. Tumhare doston ki taraf se tumhara gift hun."
She came out of the hug and introduced him to everyone.
"Umm, ye Abhi hai. Abhimanyu Modi. Mere saath Sanjeevani mein senior doctor hai."
Her parents came forward and blessed them. Same for all the elders.
Her mouth was hanging open. She had not expected this. She then looked at Riddhima, Atul and Muskaan. They too were smiling.
"Aise mat dekho. Hume aaj hi pata chala. Jinhone tumhe guft diya unhone hi hume bataya." Atul said.
"Achha hua bata diya. Nahi to ye kabhi nahi batati. Dekha nahi iska muh kaisa khula ka khula reh gaya hai." Muskaan laughed.
Nikita came tous and hugged us together.
"Thanks. This is the best gift ever."
We patted her head and separated from the hug.
"Chalo, ab celebration hona chahiye!" Riddhima beamed.
Jogi Nach Le, Rang Raj De... (2) Nikki and Abhi occupied the center stage.
Lehraake Balkhaake Tu Duniya Bhulaake Naach Riddhima, Atul and Muskaan too came forward.
Dhun Koyi Gun Gunaale Gaale Tu Gaake Naach They pulled us with them.
Ranginiyon Mein Kho Ja, Pike Pilaake Naach
Madbhare Naino Se Tu Naina Milaake Naach
Uff Teri Ada, I Like The Way You Move [imagine some salsa steps]
Uff Tera Badan, I Like To See You Groove
Uff Teri Nazar, It Says I Wanna Dance With You... (2)
Sun Le Saaheba, Tu Hai Ik Nasha
Hosh Hai Mera Saara Kho Gaya Soon all the guests joined. The couples broke[except Nikki-Abhi] and it became random couple dance.
Hosh Gawa Deewaane Hosh Gawaake Naach I looked all around.
Paas Tu Aa Deewaane Paas Tu Aake Naach I signalled to Anjali and Rahul
Dil Mein Hai Armaan Jaane Saare Jagaake Naach They nodded
Tan Mein Badan Mein Jaise Aag Lagaake Naach We squeezed past everyone.
Uff Teri Ada, I Like The Way You Move
Uff Tera Badan, I Like To See You Groove We went in different directions.
Uff Teri Nazar, It Says I Wanna Dance With You... (2)
Dekhake Bhi Nahi Ho Yakin Rahul went in a room and started searching all the drawers
Itani Kyun Hai Bata Tu Haseen
Tere Husn Se Jindagi Haseen He didn't get anything worthwhile and rushed to another room
Tere Husn Ke Aage Koyi Haseen Na Kuchh Bhi Nahi Anjali went in another room.It looked like Riddhima's room. Since it was covered with mostly family and some of her pics.
Aankhon Mein Mere Saare Sapane Sajaake Naach She looked at the place.
Mujhako Tu Dil Mein Rakh Le, Dil Ko Dhadkaake Naach A few files were kept on the side table. She went through them.
Pyaar Agar Hai Mujhase Pyaar Jagaake Naach I went in what looked like a study room.
Jaan-O-Dil Hai Jo Tere Mujhape Lutaake Naach I searched the drawers. I found some files.
Uff Teri Ada, I Like The Way You Move All three of us got some files. We came out of the rooms.
Uff Tera Badan, I Like To See You Groove We came down together and nodded at each other with a smile and a thumbs-up.
Uff Teri Nazar, It Says I Wanna Dance With You... (2) We joined the dance as though we had never gone anywhere.

"Wow. Aaj to bada maza aaya." Muskaan said enthusiastically.
"Haan. Thanks Armaan, Anjali and Rahul for the wonderful surprise." Riddhima said with a big smile.
"Haan. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki sab itni jaldi ho jayega." Nikki said emotionally.
"Nikki! Friends hote kis liye hain?" I asked.
"Waise ye batao, tum logon ko Abhi ke baare mein kab aur kaise pata chala?" Atul asked.
"Actually iska credit Anjali ko jaata hai. Ussi ne hume bataya. Armaan ne aur maine bas thodi madat ki." Rahul said.
"Anjali tumhe kaise pata chala?" Muskaan asked.
"Actually, hum log aise hi baatein kar rahe the. Tab Nikki ke muh se Abhimanyu ka naam nikal gaya and she blushed. To ye dekhkar koi bhi samajh jaata ki baat kya hai. Phir maine Armaan aur Rahul ko bataya. Unhone chupke se Abhi ka phone number Nikki se phone mein se copy kar liya. Bas,uske baad humne usse baat ki aur sab apne aap ho gaya." She smiled.
Of course 1 teer se do nishane lage. Nikki ko gift mil gaya aur hume lottery ticket. I thought.
