Part 4:
The wedding preparations were in full swing owing to the speed at which Nachiket wanted to be married and Ragini's parents and grandma were literally swept off their feet along with Ragini! Neil's mother was still unhappy with her son getting married to a middle class girl and could not bear to be civil to her or her family. Her husband demanded that she put up a good front for the sake of their son. He was neutral about his son's choice, just happy to see him married.Pam was an entirely different issue. She was disgusted by Neil's choice. Her adored brother getting married to a Gujrati, that too with such poor dress sense- wearing those garish colors. How could she face her friends with such a person being called her bhabhi- the very thought was revolting."Come on, Pam- cheer up!""Not in your life, Neil- how could you? How could you dump a girl like Ragini on us? She is so dumb. so, so, ugh- how could you do this to us, to YOU? I thought you had better taste than this specimen.""Alright, enough of that. Learn to hold your tongue or you will have no place in my life.""Neil. This is just not fair. Alright, I shall keep my opinions to myself but don't think I have changed them!""Fine- keep them in your head- don't you dare say them out aloud any more. I want you to be nice to Ragini. If you think she needs to update her style, go on, you are a teen- you can pick a dress or two for her- she will not refuse- she is very sweet! Make it as a friendship gesture and get to know her. She is very loving and has a beautiful personality."***The grihapravesh happened. Not only did Ragini succeed in scattering the rice all over the floor, Neil grabbed her up in his arms and carried her over the threshold, stunning everyone present.The bed chamber for the first night ceremony was beautifully decorated by a professional. Ragini barely noticed any of it. She was suddenly hit by the immensity of the moment- she was married, and she was far from finishing up with her career plans and educational ones, but she didn't regret any of it for a moment. Her eyes were simply drinking up every shifting movement of Nachiket. She pinched herself and wondered how this came to be- an ordinary girl like her with a less-than-ordinary-background, with absolutely no flirting skills, let alone interest in having a boyfriend, ending up with a hunk like him for a husband!The "hunk" came closer and pulled her tightly into his arms. He ripped away all the flowers and festoons shrouding the bed and placed his blushing bride delicately over the coverlet. He slowly removed all her jewelry- "could never understand why you women wear so much of this metal junk- you look good just as you are with nothing on."Ragini was getting shyer by the moment and could barely lift her eyes to look at him. Her skin was on high alert with goosebumps all over. He continued to divest her and shake her tresses loose. Her silky hair came tumbling down covering her shoulders and parts of her face. Some of it tangled with Nachiket's arms as his hand tugged at a lock or two to lock her into position, tightly against him. He smiled at his innocent bride, gave her some time to adjust to him, dimmed the lights and nibbled his way through every inch of her as she softly responded with delicate sighs and whispers.***That night, their first night of love, Nishi was conceived, her name, as dark as the night, Nisha.
