Chapter 8: Surprise, surprise!

"I'm so sorry Alekh!" Naina said shivering in the towel, "There was a lot of traffic, that's why I got so delayed." "It's fine Naina, we're just happy you reached safely," Neelu whispered as many of the guests were beginning to stare at them.

Yudi came to the rescue by getting the DJ to play songs. He walked back to Alekh and Neelu and murmured, "Why don't we start the ceremony?

Everybody's here, right?" "Yes, OK," Alekh said, "Neelu, call the priest from the puja room please and Yudi, make an announcement that we're going to start soon. I need to talk to Naina now."

Neelu and Yudi went about their jobs as Alekh sat down on a chair beside Naina. Naina moved her hand along Aashna's soft hair and casually asked, "Did anyone from our KMA days come?" But apparently, she was not successful in hiding her curiosity as Alekh raised his eyebrows and answered, "Rajveer Sir and Abhimanyu Sir are in the pool room now, I suppose."

"Oh!" Naina said quietly and continued to ruffle Aashna's hair. "Do you want to change or something?" Alekh asked, "Many of Neelu's clothes will fit you." "Thanks, but I'll wait for the ceremony to get over," Naina replied.

At that moment, the priest summoned Alekh and Aashna. "Bye, then," Alekh said as he wheeled Aashna's trolley towards the cradle. The ceremony began as Rajveer and Abhimanyu entered the hall.

"Thank God we heard Yudi's announcement!" Abhimanyu exclaimed, "Or else we would have been hitting pool, and would have missed the ceremony, the reason for which we've come here!"

Rajveer chuckled and replied, "I would have come out anyway, but I'm sure you would have been busy composing a new tune while banging the pool stick on the table!"

After all the mantras were read, Neelu bent down towards Aashna and whispered something in her ear, that was according to tradition, her name. "What sort of a naming ceremony, do you suppose this is?" Abhimanyu whispered, "The tradition is Hindu, but all the guests are dressed in westernwear, there are drinks and continental food!"

"That's their style Chauhan sahab," Rajveer replied. The traditional part of the naming ceremony was over. Yudi walked towards the mike and began speaking. "My dear friends, thank you all for being here today. It means a lot to us," he said.

"I would like to propose a toast to my sister, brother-in-law and their lovely daughter. May they live in happiness and love each other forever other. To the Sharmas!" Yudi continued, raising his glass. "To the Sharmas!" Everyone chorused, doing the same.

"Music, please!" Yudi told the DJ. The speakers blared with the song 'Voulez Vous' performed by a popular Swedish band, ABBA. "Hey, there's Naina!" Abhimanyu told Rajveer excitedly, pointing towards her, "Let's go talk to her!"

"You go Abhi, I'm not in the mood," Rajveer replied quietly.

"Oh, come on Rajveer!"

"Please leave me alone Chauhan."

"Well, fine then. If you insist," and Abhimanyu made his way through the crowd. Rajveer leaned against the wall as he saw Abhimanyu conversing with Naina. It was a rather depressing sight for Rajveer as Naina kept laughing when Abhimanyu spoke.

"I hope he's doing something humiliating," Rajveer thought to himself, "What's wrong with me? Abhi is my friend. I mustn't think ill of him! But still..." Abhimanyu had now extended his hand towards Naina, who was looking at him with some hesitation in her eyes.

Just then, Neelu walked towards Naina and spoke a few words, constantly motioning towards the passageway where Rajveer stood, or rather hid. Naina smiled at her and began to walk towards the passageway.

"She mustn't see me!" Rajveer thought hurriedly. He dashed towards the balcony before Naina could even catch a glimpse of him. "Uff, thank God!" Rajveer said out loud, relieved.

After a while, he saw Naina return, now dressed in a strapless white gown. "My, she looks so beautiful!" Rajveer sharply drew in his breath as he thought to himself. He felt uncomfortable as he saw Abhimanyu wearing the same look on his face.

Again, Abhimanyu held his hand out and Rajveer experienced a sinking feeling as Naina smilingly gave her hand in Abhimanyu's. They walked towards the centre of the hall and began dancing. Luckily for Rajveer, an extremely fast song was being played and Naina and Abhimanyu stood rather far away from each other.

Quite satisfied, Rajveer walked towards the buffet table and began serving himself. He approached the plate of his favorite besan ke laddoo and put one on his plate.

He then realized the fast song had ended and a slow one was playing instead. He looked towards the Naina and Abhimanyu, and sure enough, Abhimanyu had his arms around Naina's waist and Naina's arms were around his neck.

Unaware of the number of laddoos now on his plate, Rajveer sulkily walked towards the balcony again.

*******

Naina danced with Abhimanyu as she thought, "He's a great dancer. But it's just not the same as dancing with him," and the track Jhalak Dikhlaja (of the dance show) echoed in her head. She tried to shake it out of her head as Abhimanyu said," I think dinner is ready, do you want to eat?"

"OK!" Naina chirped, happy to end the dance. But again she was unable to hide the relief, now, in her voice for Abhimanyu gave her a wierd look. She walked towards the buffet table as Abhimanyu heaped rice onto her plate.

They reached the empty laddoo plate as Naina exclaimed, "Besan ke laddoo, my favorite! How did they get over so soon?" "I'll find out," Abhimanyu said, stopping a waiter, "Excuse me, are there any more laddoos?"

"Sorry Sir, this is all that was prepared, about a hundred laddoos," the waiter replied, "Out of those, Captain Alekh sent about 40 to his friends; 20, Mrs. Neelu packed and 40 were left." "And around how many guests have been invited?" Abhimanyu inquired.

"Only around 17, Sir," the waiter replied, "and both of you are the last to eat." "So, that means everyone had atleast two to three," Abhimanyu said. "Wait a minute Sir, I remember a gentleman had atleast 10 laddoos."

"What?" Naina asked, "Does he have any shame? As if he's never seen laddoos before. Where is he now?"

"I think he headed towards the balcony, Ma'am."

"Thank you," Naina said walking towards it.

"Naina, don't create a scene now!"

"Sir, I just have to speak to this man. What sort of behaviour is this?"

Naina walked inside the balcony and saw a man leaning on the railing and looking below. She saw a plate with 9 uneaten laddoos on them. She was about to say something angrily, but stopped, flabbergasted, as she saw the man's face.

It's a thriller basically, with romance here and there. But the suspense will start only at KMA. And it's a whodunit kinda thing (I'm not guaranteeing any murders, though! 😆 😆 .
