Part : 5
Then goes to his room closes the door and nikhila has kept a night dress out..so he takes it and changes his clothes and comes to his bed and lifts the blanket and gets into the bed and stares at his room and today he was not feeling sleepy so fast so gets up again…goes to the balcony of his room..where cool breeze was flowing…. swinging the curtains and kissing his cheek and he felt happy inside and then after sometime comes back inside and gets into bed and takes a magazine and just keeps looking at some pictures in it… and then he remembers nikhila saying get married and then you can have your wife wear what you want… and he smiles to himself and looks at the other side of the bed which is empty and pulls out the pillow and hugs it for a second and keeps it back and switches of the light and goes off to bed smiling with the cool breeze coming into the room…and full moon in the night sky smiling at the stars…bringing sweet dreams to him…
Nikhila before going to bed had told mahen about the pooja in Gauri house and he had told her …he will come there but then would leave early as he has work at office.. so next day… nikhila wakes up serves both shiv and mahen breakfast and then they all leave for the puja with mahen and shiv wearing salwar kameez…. for the puja and nikhila wearing a saree…and then they reach alok home and they are welcomed by alok and nikhila introduces them to alok and then she excuses herself to go in and meet alok's daughter… and Gauri is wearing a beautiful pink saree looking elegant and dignified with simple jewellary and going through all the things needed for the puja and asking the pandit if he wants anything else… and nikhila comes to her and they both wish eachother and gauri makes her seated and the puja starts and gauri is sitting in the puja and all the men are seated behind the ladies…nikhila and all other women are sitting behind gauri..and then the puja is started…
alok and shiv and mahen and some other guests join in…and alok lifts his hand and says that's my daughter in the puja and both shiv and mahen look to where alok is showing ..but they cannot see her face as… she is turned to the other side and doing the puja and they all get seated and puja is peformed and then… as soon as the puja is done and everyone gets up …. Mahen and shiv come to Nikhila and say that…they need to go, as there is important things to do at office and need to change their dress and hence, they need to leave…so nikhila wishes them good bye and they leave…
Gauri who was busy with other things just then brings Prasad to nikhila and asks if she came alone and nikhila says that… her son and husband came but were having work at office so they left just now..and she points in the direction where they were going and gauri looks at them leaving but is not able to see them as they are facing the other way and going out… she smiles and gives Prasad to nikhila for all of them and asks her to stay for lunch and then goes to give Prasad to others…and nikhila who knows other neighbors in the area talks to them…and then after having lunch all start leaving… so nikhila goes to say that she is leaving… and goes to talk to alok…and asks him.. about his wife not being around and alok with sadness in his eyes says that… his wife passed away few years ago… due to illness and from then his daughter has been taking care of him like a mother… and starts to say that… he is very proud of his daughter…and nikhila feels bad and says that she is sorry she enquired and alok dismisses her saying..don't worry its ok..its been long time..now..and then she looks at gauri..who is talking to some of the guests and smiling at everyone..and taking care of the things around… nikhila has a smile on her face…
And then she goes to gauri and says that she is leaving and asks her to come home some time as she is alone all day..and that... they could sit around and have fun together…and that only, if its ok with her… for this Gauri gives a big smile and says… 'Zaroor aunty..' 'mein..zaroor avungi…' then they say good bye and nikhila leaves…
She goes a little distance and looks at the house which is beautifully arranged and then gauri who is saying servants to do some work and has a glint in her eyes and keeps an expression that she is thinking about some thing… and then leaves with a smile on her face…
Days go by…
