the hug - Page 2

Nidhi, for her part while enjoying all the attention still wanted to share this moment with her husband in private. Once again her requesting them of the same is just typical Nidhi, acts first, thinks later... but again her shy request showing that even she considered all of them as family, so could freely express her desire to them and none would feel bad.

AShu turns a very deep shade of red but he also understood Nidhi's desire and does not protest,infact I felt even he wanted a few private moments to celebrate but did not know how to get them, hence that spontaneity in the hug. It was wonderful to see Ashu just engulfing Nidhi in a big hug,and letting her share that joy of success with him. I loved that gesture, said a lot, showed how proud he was of her. For a few moments there, he was her loving husband, nothing more. This time he perfectly understood his wife's expectations and lived up to it, showed his whole hearted happiness in her achievement, his love for her. This time he did not stop Nidhi, chide her or make a fuss saying it was the hospital and they should not have such moments, completely loved him for that. I cannot help but think how much Dr. Heartstone has softened, loosened up in public and has accepted that Nidhi was his wife and he was not ashamed or embarrassed to share some alone time with her in front of others and express his love and support for her.
