Part 46 Mehendi

Last scene repeated...

She cut the phone and looked around to notice that she had walked into the main hall, she hadn't realised that she had been walking and talking at the same time. She sat down on a chair near the stairs and looked around the hall, it was all very beautiful and she couldn't believe this was all for her. It was her special day and everyone was there for her. She was going to be getting married to the love of her life and she was sure that she was the luckiest girl in the world right now. Her thoughts were broken when the front door opened with a squeak. She looked up to see…



Shashank walk in with Puneet and Sonia. She stood up and ran towards them with a big smile on her face.

Anji: PUNEET Chachu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - she ran to him and gave him a big hug

Puneet: Hey my princess... – hugging her

She separated from him, looked to his side and was very surprised to see Sonia there. She gave her a hug and then started speaking as soon as she got her breath back.

Anji: Puneet chachu...I'm so happy that you came!

Puneet: It's the most important day in my princess's life...how could I not have come? – winking at her

Anji: That's right...I'm so happy...Sonia aunty...it's been so long since I last saw you...I missed you too...come in...Nikki is upstairs...

They walked into the house and settled down while some of the others also made their way to the main room. Nikki came running down the stairs as she heard Anji scream earlier and was shocked to see her mom there.

Nikki: MAMMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - she gave her a big hug - I've missed you sooo much!!

Sonia: Hi darling...I've missed you too

They separate from the hug, and looked around at everyone who seemed to be really engrossed in teasing Anjali some more. There was a small gathering of the Gupta family, Shashank, Padma, Nani, Puneet, Anjali and Riddhima. Sonia looked away from the family gathering and whispered to Nikki.

Sonia: Nikki...I have something to tell you...let's go somewhere else...

Nikki: OK mama...

Nikki took Sonia upstairs to her room and they had a small chat which left Nikki with a big smile plastered on her face, she was really happy for her mom. They made their way back down stairs and Nikki noticed a small nod of the head from her mom towards Puneet which made him smile and started to speak to his family.

Puneet: Ma... - looking at Nani - I have something to say

Nani: Bolo beta

Puneet: I'm ready to get married...and I have found someone who I truly love...

Nani: Kaun hai wo? - excited

Puneet stood up and walked over to the stairs where Sonia and Nikki were standing and held her hand.

Puneet: It's Sonia...

Everyone stood up waiting for him to carry on.

Puneet: Main aur Sonia...umm...we love each other and we are ready to get married...

The room was full of silence; Nani walked over to them and hugged them both.

Nani: I'm so happy to hear this...

Shashank and Padma also walk towards them and congratulate them.

Padma: You can have a joint wedding with Anjali and Sachin

Puneet: Nahi bhabi...I can't wait any longer... - he reached into his pocket and pulled out a heart shaped box - We've come prepared

Sonia smiled as Puneet took her hand with care and gently slipped the ring onto her finger; she took a small box from her bag and also put the ring on his finger. Everyone around them applauded and took turns to hug and congratulate the newly weds. Nikki was so happy, firstly for her mom and her new dad and she was now related to her best friend.


*Main Hall*

Later that evening the mehendi function had begun in full swing. All the girls sat around in the hall on little decorated cushions while having their mehendi applied to their hands. They laughed and teased Anji for a while then engaged in their own little conversations and having a great time.

Nikki was so happy to finally spend some time with her mum. Muskaan and Sapna were having their mehendi applied by a mehendi designer they had hired for the function. Ridz sat by Anji and made sure she had everything she needed.

The boys on the other hand walked around here and there, some of them still busy with decorating the place and some helping the ladies in the kitchen with the meethais (Indian sweets) and other snacks.

Rahul and Abhi were standing around by the stairs, Rahul trying to tie the dupatta along the banister while standing on a ladder and Abhi holding the ladder and passing him pins to hold the veils up.

Rahul: Pass me another one – holding his hand out to Abhi

Abhi pointed a pin up while looking at the girls who were sitting in the hall, all dressed up nicely and applying mehendi.

Rahul: Ooowww!!!!!!!!! – jumped in pain

Abhi had poked him right in the middle of his palm with the pin. He yelled in pain and looked down at Abhi who stood their looking guilty.

Abhi: I'm…..I'm sorry – moving back slowly

Rahul came down the ladder angrily and stared at the Abhi as if he was about to explode.

Abhi: Rahul…..Rahul…..I said…..I'm sorry – walking backwards

Rahul: Run! – sternly

Abhi didn't need to be told twice, he turned around and ran as fast as he could away from Rahul who chased him. They ran into the main hall Abhi tried to dodge Rahul from every direction as he was throwing pillows and anything else that came in to his hands. They were attracting so much attention by the girls, some of whom were amused and some annoyed at this distraction.

Abhi: Rahul…..stop yaar…..it was an accident

Rahul: I'm gonna get you back…..

He lunged himself at Abhi who dodged him once more and left Rahul falling right onto Muskaan's lap who was sitting on the floor behind him. He looked up to see her beautiful face staring back at him. It was full of anger then slowly turned into a soft smile. They remained staring into each others eyes for what seemed like ages to them.

Abhi: Ahem Ahem – clearing his throat and smiling at them in this position

Rahul and Muskaan came back to reality and looked around shyly at everyone. Rahul mumbled a sorry and quickly stood up and walked away leaving Abhi forcing back his laughter.

Muskaan carried on as if nothing happened but inside she felt really shy and secretly blushed to herself. Everyone ignored the recent event and carried on applying their mehendi.

Ridz: I'm so hungry…..! – moaning

Sapna: Main bhi…..

Ridz: I'm going to go and look for something to eat….. – she got up

Right in front of her eyes landed a variety platter of Indian sweets, Ladoos, Peda, Kaju Katli and Barfee. Her eyes opened widely in surprise. These were all her favourite meethais, she licked her lips and quickly looked over the plate again.

Armaan: Will you keep staring or will you start eating? – cheekily

Ridz looked up to see Armaan smiling sweetly at her. Armaan was carrying a plate of sweets and Atul came in with a plate of other snacks like samoosas and other things. Atul started to share it amongst the other ladies while Armaan stood in front of Ridz.

Ridz: Yeh sab mere liye? – excitedly

Armaan: Hmm…..for everyone but if your sooo hungry its all yours….. – smiling

Ridz: Please…..can I have it all…..its my favourite…..

Armaan: Really? – thinking – Yeh sab meri Riddhima ki favourite hain….. – surprised

Ridz: Yes…..! – excitedly again but then her face fell

Armaan: What's wrong? – confused

Ridz held her hands up to show him her mehendi and she pulled her face as if to say "I can't eat it on my own".

Armaan: Oh…..no prob….. – smiling he picks up a piece of Kaju Katli and holds it up to her mouth – open up

Ridz did as she was told and bit some of it and chewed.

Armaan: Is that better?

Ridz: Uh-uh – shaking her head

Armaan: Now what…..?

Ridz smiled sweetly at him then opened her mouth to ask for more. Armaan smiled cheekily then stuffed the whole piece in her mouth and then another and then another. He laughed at her sight as she tried to chew without choking. When she had finally swallowed the last piece she looked at him angrily and raised her hand to hit him, she had almost forgotten that her hand was decorated with mehendi and was saved just in time as Armaan held his hand up to his ears to say sorry. This made her smile and stopped her hand. They both looked at each other and laughed then Armaan brought his hand out from behind his back, in it was a glass of cool lassi. She smiled at him and he held the glass to her mouth and she sipped it gently. Armaan stood there admiring her beauty and he thought it felt good to help her out.

The rest of the function went smoothly, the boys joined in after a while, when the music started the function was in full swing and everyone had lots of fun. The party carried on late into the night...
