Hey 1/2 an hour ho gaya...where is the update? Nidhi makeup kar rahi hai kya?

Chapter 5:

Finally, after all the rituals are done, the elders (BB and Armaan's parents) go to bed and after some teasing by Armaan and Ranjie (as per tradition, Anji has accompanied Nidhi to her sasural), AshNi are literally pushed into the bedroom by Armaan, and Armaan says before leaving, "Abbe tu darwaza band karega ya phir bahar do not disturb ka board bhi mujhe hi lagana hoga." Ashu glares at Armaan before silently bolting the door.

As soon as he turns, he is completely mesmerized by the sight that meets his eye. The entire floor is covered with white petals and the bed is covered with red petals that form small heart-shad patterns on the virgin-white bedsheet. As if this is not enough, three bouquets with only red roses are placed near the head of the bed. There are scented candles on the side tables and on the window, giving the room an ethereal glow.

Good Lord! thought Ashu, this must be surely Armaan's doing... till now he had never imagined that all these silly things could make even a supposedly matured man's heart flutter. But, Armaan had known! He was once again surprised that Armaan knew him better than he knew himself. He had always felt all this was childish, yet he had to admit that the entire aura was affecting him. Of course, it did not help that Nidhi, his Nidhi, looked totally enticing in her pristine beauty ...in fact, right from the moment she had walked into the mandap, he had the urge to hold her in his arms and ... and...well, he sighed deeply.

On the other hand, Nidhi had felt that she had walked right into her dreams, she had always dreamed, always imagined such things for her wedding night. The only difference was that the real thing was much more intoxicating than her dreams; the combined scent of roses and candles was simply driving her crazy. The night she had dreamed and imagined several times since she met him was finally here. She experienced exhiliaration, nervousness and apprehension, all at the same time...she wondered what he would do...what she should do?... oh the thoughts were driving her crazy on top of the fact that he looked incredibly s**y in the golden sherwani.

His deep sigh brought her back to reality and she turned to look at him. They share an intense eyelock for what seems like an eternity. Then Ashu opens his arms and Nidhi almost runs into them, forgetting everything else. Ashu envelops her in a gentle hug and she too gently places her hands as well as her head on his chest. They stay like that for a few seconds and then Ashu says in a choked voice, "Nidhi..." Nidhi is surprised by the extreme emotion in voice and backs out a bit from his chest to look at his face. He is crying!

She is utterly confused and worried, "Kya hua? Aap ro kyon rahe hain? Mujhse kuch galti ho gayi kya?"

He is barely able to get the words out, "Nidhi... main tumhare bina nahi jee pata. Woh 15 din mere liye 15 sadiyon ki tarah beete! Jab tumhare baba ne mana kar diya, toh mujhe laga ki woh meri aakhri saans ..."

She immediately put her hands on her lips. By now, even she has tears in her in her eyes, "please aisa mat boliye... to phir aapne us din jo mujhse kaha tha woh sab...? Ke aap meri yaadon ke sahare khush reh sakte hain woh sab kya tha? Sirf mujhe dilasa dene ke liye?" She is completely overwhelmed, when she realized the depth of his love for her. She was completely in awe.

"Toh main aur kya karta Nidhi? Tumhe bikharne deta? Lekin sach poochho toh meri haalat...tumse milne se pahle main sirf saans leta tha. Mujhe jeena, ek ek saans ko mehsoos karna tumne sikhaya Nidhi. Aur, phir mujhe us din aisa laga jaise tum mujhse hamesha hamesha ke liye door ho gayi, to phir jaise jeene ka koi matlab hi nahi raha, saans leta bhi toh kiske liye..."

"Bas Dr. Ashutosh..." and she wiped his tears as well as her own, and hugged him (Ashu already has his arms around her right from the beginning) "ab woh sab kyon soche? Ab toh hamari shaadi ho gayi haina? Aap jaante hain, today is the happiest day of my life?" "Haan Nidhi mere liye bhi..." Ashu replied emotionally.

After that they are quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly Nidhi felt that the hug that began on an emotional note, began to get a s**ual undercurrent. He was sensuously moving his hands on her back. She felt a jolt of electricity run through her body.OMG, if she was getting this affected just by his moving his hands on her fully covered body, how would she survive his touch on her bare skin? Also, she was wondering about what he was thinking. How she should react? She knew he wanted her a lot, his eyes had spoken of his desire for her even when the words had never escaped his lips. The way his eyes strayed to the soft skin of her waist whenever she wore a saree, the harsh breath that he had drawn when his hand had once accidentally brushed her chest, they were all dead giveaways. Did he know that she wanted him just as much? Did he know how his look had her going hot and cold all over, how her body burnt at every place that his eyes caressed, how the breath had caught in her chest when he first touched her? Nidhi was scared that there might just be mutual combustion when they came together, such was the strength of their contained desires.

Ashutosh wasn't so sure of whether she was comfortable. They had known each other for long, they were in love and all that but the fact was they had never ventured much into the physical terrain. Firstly, his own self imposed restraint was the reason. His reserve over being much older then her, the propriety of such a relationship had weighed so heavily on his mind that he had dared not make any physical moves for a long time. And then, everything had happened in such a hurry thereafter.

He knew Nidhi loved him beyond all, he knew she wanted him physically, he had seen that awareness in her eyes and yet, would it all work out fine between them? She was too young, too innocent.

He so wanted to fulfill her every fantasy but he did not know where to begin. She of course was all his fantasies come to life. That was part of the trouble. A part of him wanted to just grab her and have his way with her, bringing to life all those erotic dreams that had troubled him ever since he had set eyes on her. There was another part that wanted to take it all really slow so as to not scare her away. She was so much younger than him after all! He would have to be a lot more patient!

Nidhi could not help gasping as the movement of his hands started gathering some momentum. Hearing her gasp, he whispered softly, "Nidhi jaise aaj ka din hamare liye yaadgaar raha hai, kya hum is raat ko bhi utna hi yaadgaar bana sakte hain?" Nidhi's forehead was layered with beads of perspiration now...what was she to say? How was she to reveal how much she wanted....

On not getting any response from her, he stopped moving his hands on her back, and backed off a bit to look at her face...it was crimson! He said lovingly, "Nidhi, if you need more time and are not comfortable, please tell me. I would wait" Not that he could really. Waiting till marriage had almost driven him insane.

Nidhi was fidgeting, "ji...ji,...woh main...mera matlab..." Oh why he was such a gentleman!! This was so so embarrasing. How could she tell him that she was actually dying to be touched by him? To be...

Ashu said softly, "koi baat nahi Nidhi, I completely understand" and he started to back away, breaking the hug.

Oh no!! thought Nidhi, he is getting all the wrong signals. She threw all her apprehensions to the winds, and pulled him back into her arms, burried her face in her chest and said very softly, "Dr. Ashutosh... main... main aapse kaise kahoon?"

He immediately understood and teased her "kya kaise kaho Nidhi?"

Oh God, he was just trying to tease her, to make it more difficult for her, so, before he could tease her more, she decided to get it over with. She began in a tremulous voice, "woh... main...ji...main" and then she simply blurted out "I M ALL YOURS Dr. Ashutosh!"

Ashu sighed deeply. Her words broke the last shred of restraint in him. He again backed off a bit and looked at her by now beetroot red face. She simply couldn't meet his eyes and lowered her eyelids.

He slowly lets go of her lips after 1-2 seconds. She slowly opens her eyes to see him looking at her with a tender smile. She gets all shy, loosens herself from his grip, turns around and starts to walk away when he catches hold of her wrist. She stops there neither trying to loosen his grip nor moving back to him. Meanwhile, he is glancing backside from head to toe. With her ghoonghat off, he can see her hair tied in a bun with a gajra weaved seductively (or so he felt) in it, then his eyes fell on her deep necked blouse which was revealing almost all of her curvaceous upper back - it had a string at the top and 1 or 2 hooks at the bottom, given a circular view of her almost naked back ' and finally down to her semi-exposed waist'''.

He was just admiring her waist, when the moment was broken by the shrill ring of his cell phone. Both were rudely jolted out of their trance by the sound, and he immediately let go of her wrist to answer the phone. It was Dr, Ranganath. "Yes, Dr. Ranganath? ...nahi koi baat nahi...oh I c...okay, I am leaving, you get reverything ready for the surgery. I will be there in 20 minutes... Yes, ...okay" and hung up.

When he looked up at her, he could see disappointment very clearly in her eyes, but he was helpless. If he did not rush to the hospital, the patient would surely die. So, he began, "Nidhi, I am really very sorry... woh patient bahut critical condition me hai. Mujhe jaana pade..."

Nidhi immediately tried to hide her disappointment and said, "Ji maine sab sun liya hai... . And I completely understand...pl. aap jaldi jayiye."

"Thank you Nidhi for understanding, I will be back within two hours" he said with a hint of guilt in his voice, which was not missed by Nidhi.

"Dr. Ashutosh, please don't worry mujhe bilkul poblem, I mean problem nahi hai. Agar aap nahi jaate toh mujhe bura lagta...Pl. ab aur kuch mat sochiye. Just go"

He is about to leave when she notices her lipstick mark on his lips, "ek minute rukiye"

"Haan? Kuch chahiye?" He aasks in a very caring voice.

Oh God, this was awkward! she blushed very hard making him wonder what was making her blush, "Ji woh...Ji woh...aapke lips..." she fidgeting not able to complete her sentence.

He almost fell off balance! He had never expected her to be so bold, especially not tonight. Well, anyways, he went near to her and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Nidhi, aise toh main jaa nahi paaoonga"

"haan...wohi toh main keh rahi hoon"

He simply could not resist after that and went forward to kiss her. She was totally surprised, "aapko jaana nahi hai?"

"Jaana toh hai lekin kya karoon, meri nayee naveli dulhan ko mere lips chahiye" He replied huskily. Nidhi was utterly confused for a few seconds before their conversation ran in her mind and she realized that he had asked if she wanted anything and she had said, 'aapke lips' like a fool!

She was so so embarrassed, simply could not meet his eyes! Finally her eyes fell on the tissues on dressing table and she walked upto them and picked up a tissue, came back to him. He was completely confused by her behavior. She very hesitantly cleaned her lipstick from his lips and that was when he realized the misunderstanding. He gave a short laugh and her embarrassed expression made him want to tease her. But then, he thought, she would feel uncomfortable if he teased her now. So, he set out wordlessly to leave. Then a thought struck him, "Nidhi, meri ek baat manogi? Mujhe 2 ghante lagenge. Please tum so jaana" She nodded meekly since she was still too embarrassed to argue with him.

As soon as he was out of the room, Nidhi heaved a sigh of relief. God, what a fool she made out of herself on her wedding night! What he must have thought about her in those few seconds? That she was completely shameless, wanton, depraved? Suddenly she burst out giggling... okay...what the heck? He was her husband now...why was she behaving like a 19^th century bride? She had never blushed so much in her entire life as she had in the past 5 minites and he had barely began ... surely her cheeks would ache from all the blushing by the morning. Why only her cheeks? Her... her... There would be aches everywhere...especially... she blushed hard again. Her fingers immediately went to her lips. His lips had felt so good on hers. Now, her lips were already burning from need. The two hour wait will surely kill her.

Then an idea struck her. He must be still on his way. She picked up her phone and SMSed him, "Pl. come back soon 😊 Your bride is waiting for you with bated breath". He saw the message and laughed out aloud ... his Nidhi was really something. He still felt her lips between his lips... oh she tasted so sweet like some divine nector. He SMSed her back, "Tell my bride to sleep till I get back. I won't let her sleep for the whole night when I return!"

Nidhi blushed furiously again on seeing the message. After a while, she stifled a yawn. His idea was not a bad one after all. All the rituals had tired her out and last night too she and Anji had stayed awake practically the whole night. Waiting up for him would be futile. So, she SMSed again "okay m going to sleep. Pl. call me when you start on your way back. Wish u all the best for your surgery"

He had already reached his cabin by now. So, he sent a hurried reply, "Thanks Doc, will call. Leaving for surgery"

Nidhi sighed again and came towards the bed. She did not feel like disturbing the decorations on the bed - it was meant for both of them. So, she took the couch and closed her eyes trying to block all her thoughts. She fell asleep almost immediately.

Two hours later when she opened her eyes, she immediately looked around and did not see him anywhere. Still rubbing sleep from her eyes, she called him. He picked up on the second ring "Haan tum soyee nahi kya?" "Ji so gayi thi abhi uthi, aapki surgery kaise rahi?" "It was successful. M on my way back"

She immediately got up from the couch, "aapne mujhe phone kyon nahi kiya nikalte waqt?"

"Bas abhi karne hi waala tha", he lied. Actually he did not have the heart to wake her up.

"Aap kitni door hain" she asked in a panic. " Bas 5-7 minute me pahunch jaaoonga."

"Theek hai aap aa jaayiye" and she hung up. He was a little surprised at the way she suddenly cut the call. What was she upto?

Nidhi literally threw her phone on the couch and rushed to the restroom to freshen up. She was out within 3-4 minutes and then rushed to the kitchen, and started making tea. She kept the tea on low flame and rushed back to her room, adjusted her saree.

She was just touching up her make-up, when Ashu walked and was about to hug her when he realized that he had just come from the hospital. So, he just gave her a wide smile and said, "main change karke aata hoon." She too smiled back and nodded. While taking out his kurta pyjaama from the wardrobe, his eyes fell on a jewelry box. Oh, he had completely forgotten... Anyways let him change first. So, he went to the restroom and took a quick shower too.

Meanwhile Nidhi went to the kitchen to get the tea. She had just kept the tea-tray on the small teapoy in front of the couch when Ashu emerged from the restroom. Nidhi simply could not help openly drooling over him. He was looking so damn hot in the white kurta! As if that was not enough, his wet hair added manifold to his s** appeal ... oh if looks could kill, she would have dropped dead by now. Ashu immediately understood her condition and walked upto her. Taking care not to touch her, he whispered in a s**y voice, "Kya hua Nidhi?"

She was startled, but recovered, "ji ... kuch nahi, aap chai pee lijiye". It was then that he saw two mugs of tea lying on a tray on the teapoy. He was amazed. So, she had preempted his needs, even before he had voiced them!

"Tumhe kaise pata chala ki mujhe abhi chai ki sakt zaroorat hai"

She said very casually, "mujhe nahi toh kise pata hoga, chaliye pee lijiye warna thandi ho jayegi"

"Tum baitho, main abhi aata hoon" and goes to the wardrobe to get something and joins her on the couch and takes the tea mug offered by her. He hands the box to her saying, "Nidhi ye main tumhare liye laaya tha, hamari shaadi ka gift" She gets excited like a kid and immediately opens the jewelry box, while he looks on amusedly. Her eyes shine with happiness as she finds a amazingly elegant pendant set in white gold and huge diamonds. She immediately hugs him, "Thank you Dr. Ashutosh, it's just the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!" Ashutosh counters, "No, it cannot be more beautiful than my wife" making her blush. He then opens the pendant to reveal a small portrait of both of them together. Nidhi is moved beyond words. But then, words are not needed when eyes speak volumes. They let their eyes do the talking while they sip their tea.

Finally, the tea is finished and suddenly Nidhi says, "Lekin main toh aapke liye koi gift nahi laayi."

He smiles mischeiviously and says looking at her from head to toe,"Mera gift toh mere saamne hai, sirf claim karna baaki hai" She blushes hard again and he too blushes slightly thinking how bold her mere presence has made him.

She then remembers something, "arre main toh bhool hi gayi, maine apni mehndi me aapka naam likhwaya hai ... matlab 'A' likhwaya hai. Zara dhoondhiye toh kahan hai" And she offered him both her hands. He took her hands, and pulled her close saying, "itni door se mujhe nahi dikhega, jara kareeb aao" Nidhi understood his intentions, but boldly sat very close to him and didn't move when he pulled her even closer so that their bodies were almost sticking to one another. As if his smell wasn't intoxicating enough, he started tickling her right hand on the pretext of finding 'A', driving her insane. He left her right hand and then, took her left hand trying to find his name very leisurely. Finally he said, "mil gaya!" "Kahan hai?" she could barely manage to speak. "Yahan" he took her hand to his lips and placed a lingering kiss on 'A'. She nodded.

Then, she was about to get up, when he suddenly pulled her back and placed her head on his lap and said, "toh ab batao, kya keh rahi thi jab main jaa raha tha, you want my lips? Hmmm?"

"Nooo,...you misunderstood me" she blushed hard, trying to get up, but was unable to as he maintained a gentle, but firm grip on her

"How Nidhi? I understood only what you said. Okay I see, so you don't want my lips?" He asked with a very serious face.

Oh he was being so impossible! She tried again, "nahi mera...mera woh matlab nahi tha..."

Ashu continued in the same serious tone, only this time with an added fake anger, "Ye matlab nahi tha, woh matlab nahi tha. Tum khud bhi confused ho aur mujhe bhi confuse kar rahi ho. Tum rehne do, let me find out for myself."

Before she even realized, his lips were on hers, furiously kissing her, making her close her eyes in bliss and shyness. She was so lost in the kiss that she immediately relented when he tried to pry open her lips with his tongue. They tasted each other fully.

Finally, they drew apart to catch their breath. Nidhi slowly opened her eyes. They were feeling such a mixture of shyness and desire that they could neither meet each other's eyes nor avert them completely. At last, Nidhi could not take it any longer and sat up from his lap and got up from the couch.

She had barely taken two small steps away, when Ashu backhugged her. He then grabbed her shoulders and moved his hands down her arms very deliberately. He took her hands one by one in both his hands, effectively caging her, and removed all her bangles, all the while his lips wrecking havoc on her nape. She could barely stand.

Ashu was in no different state. Nidhi's unique scent merged with the smell of her gajra and the scented candles was driving him crazy. His hands felt like they were touching the most delicate flower, he was hungry for more, much more... But, he wanted to take it slow both for his own pleasure and for Nidhi's comfort.

Nidhi could not stand up any more and turned towards him and leaned on to him for support. He drew back a little and slowly took out her jhumkas. She again buried her face into his chest and he took the opportunity to remove her neckpiece and mangalsutra, while licking her left ear with his tongue. She gasped helplessly with sheer pleasure. He knew she was already melting. And she was still fully clothed. He smiled wickedly to himself, when he thought about the wild erotic feelings he was having. He might as well get started with the job!

So, he tried to drop her pallu, only to be obstructed by the safety pin. He impatiently fidgeted with the pin for sometime before looking at her pleadingly, as if asking her to help him out. By now, she had recovered sufficiently and was enjoying his impatience. It amused her to see that a tiny safety pin was causing him so much trouble. So, she looked at him challengingly and shook her head, as if to say, she won't help him.

His face was flushed with desire, impatience and slight anger at her refusal. "You will pay for this!" he muttered under his breath making her chuckle slightly. He took a deep breath and continued to work on the safety pin. This time, it immediately gave way. He sighed triumphantly and she gave him a timid smile. He almost ruthlessly pulled her pallu away, making her gasp and she moved away and covered her front with her hands. But he did not relent his grip on her saree and pulled it away from her body in a very deliberate movement, forcing her to revolve in her place once, while he feasted his eyes.

The way he was looking at her, she simply could not bear and shut her eyes in shyness. He slowly came upto her and picked her up in his arms to lay her gently on the bed. After a few seconds, he too joined her on the bed. Eyes still closed, she rolled on her stomach, not wanting to expose her front to him just yet. He took the opportunity to untie the string on her blouse and started nuzzling her there. She could not bear it for long and turned around again to bury her face in his chest again.

But, she received a jolt when she did. He had removed his kurta and his upper body was completely bare. He slowly, lingeringly kissed her throat, followed by her cleavage right to her bare stomach, torturing her sweetly. Both their eyes were completely drugged with passion by now. Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Nidhi, I am all yours too!"

Her mind was completely muddled by passion to process his words, so she simply looked at him in complete confusion. He explained, "Nidhi ye raat mere liye tab tak adhuri rahegi jab tak you claim your right on me, just the way I have been doing"

She finally understood his meaning, and blushed profusely, her cheeks turning the deepest shade of red! She vigorously shook her head and buried her face again in his chest. Ashu pried her a bit away from him, looked at her mischieviously, "kamaal hai, main toh ye soch raha ki meri shaadi ek modern ladki se hui hai, khair ab pachtake kya hoga, ab to shaadi ho hi gayi hai. Now, I have to live with it," he said with a resigned sigh.

His words had the desired effect. He felt as if a tornado had hit him. She almost roughly pushed him back on the bed and furiously attacked him with her lips, first victimizing his lips, then throat, then his bare torso. It was driving him wild. After sometime, she suddenly realized how erotically she was behaving and stopped. When she drew apart, she had tears of embarrassment on her cheeks. Ashu understood her condition and silently kissed her tears away and continued to lead her in the bliss that belonged to just the two of them. The night bore a silent witness to the ultimate union of two lovers.

The next morning, Nidhi yawned and stretched. While stretching, her hand touched Ashu's bare chest and she jolted awake, immediately opening her eyes. The touch awoke Ashu too. He too opened his eyes slowly to meet Nidhi's eyes. Both immediately blushed recollecting the night, and moreover, the condition they were in. Both awkwardly tried to pull the duvet upto their chin. For some seconds, no one spoke.

Ashu was the first to speak, "Good morning," he said smilingly.

"Good morning", she replied tentatively. She was wondering how she would get up.

Ashu understood her problem but could not let go of this opportunity to tease her. "kya hua koi problem hai?" Oh God! Did she have to put it in words? This was such an embarrassing situation.

Seeing that she was seriously embarrassed, he said softly, "Okay okay, sorry for teasing you" She pouted cutely at that as he continued, "ek kaam karo...I will close my eyes and you get up"

She was still not satisfied, what if he opened his eyes suddenly? After last night, she wondered if she could trust him on this. Of course, there was nothing wrong even if he saw her. After all, he was her husband. Yet she felt very embarrassed to think about these things in broad daylight. She fidgeted, "ji woh... main aise ... mera matlab hai bilkul bina..."

He was mildly irritated now, she didn't trust him? "Nidhi didn't I tell you I will keep my eyes shut?" She nodded timidly. "Toh phir?" He growled. She looked at him pleadingly, which immediately softened him, and requested. "Dr. Ashutosh, please aap dekhiye na niche us side pe...koi bhi kapde aapke haath me aaye toh" Ashu agreed and tried to find something...when he brought his hand up, it was holding his kurta. He gave a resigned sigh. "mere haath me sirf yehi aaya." Nidhi too looked disappointed.

After a while, Ashu said, "Nidhi actually tum yehi pahnlo" "Ji ye?" she hesitated. "haan waise bhi meri aankhen toh band hi hongi" . Nidhi agreed hesitantly, and took it from him. Ashu immediately closed his eyes and turned to the other side. He really wanted to see how she looked wearing only his kurta, but he realized that she was not at all comfortable. He reasoned to himself, that they were just married and he could see her any way he wanted to, after sometime, when she got used to such things. For now, he should make her comfortable.

He cautiously opened his eyes only when he heard the restroom door closing softly. He wondered if he too should get up and wear something. What's the hurry? She won't come out of bathroom for atleast half an hour. So, he could rest for some more time. He was really tired, first the surgery then the night they had spent together, had completely exhausted him. He closed his eyes and didn't even realize when he slipped into a deep slumber.

When he woke up next, she was nowhere in the room. He wore his glasses and checked his phone. He was surprised to see an SMS from Nidhi. Where is she and why is she msging? he wondered, while opening the SMS which read, "Sry didn't feel like waking u up. At my maika for pagphera. U too hav 2 come here for lunch and then v will leave together. Pl. reach latest by 1. Love u"

He smiled, and replied. "Love u too! Will reach by 1." Suddenly he saw the time on his phone and exclaimed. It was already 10.30. He had some important work at the hospital and he did not want to be late at his in-laws' place. Already DB was angry with everyone and not talking even to CV.

He hurriedly showered and got out of his room only to be teased by Armaan, "Kya baat hai, ek din shaadi ko nahi hua aur tu 11 baje utha?" Ashu blushed hard! Thankfully there was no one else there. He tried to save his face, "Arre Armaan, aisi koi baat nahi hai. Kal raat mujhe achanak surgery ke liye hospital jaana pada"

Armaan looked at him disappointed,"Lo karlo baat...itni mehnat ki tera room decorate karne mein! Sab paani me?" "Nahi armaan. I was out for just two hours!" then blushed realizing he had revealed too much. Armaan gave a delighted hoot. Ashu, looked around to see if anyone was about, and walked to Armaan, hugged him and said, "Thanks for everything Armaan" "Tere liye kuch bhi meri jaan...bole toh roz raat ko tera room saja doonga" Ashu blushed hard at that, "come on Armaan, main chalta hoon, pahle hospital jaana hai phir Nidhi ke ghar lunch pe. Baba kaha hain" "Sab log mandir gaye hain, Shaadi ache se ho gayi na isiliye ... to thank God. Tu nikal, main bata doonga sab ko"

It was late afternoon. Ashni were returning from Nidhi's house. Both were in pensive mood. "Nidhi kuch hua hai kya?" "Aap toh jaante hi hain DB aur uncle! Aaj mere pahunchne ke pahle hi DB Anji ghar chali gayi aur mera muh tak nahi dekha unhone" She was almost on the verge of tears. Ashu understood. He had been welcomed with respect and love by CV, Shyama and Anji, but DB and Kapil Solanki were nowhere to be seen. He had thought that he would get a chance to maybe soften DB to some extent. But, when he did not see them, he did not deem it fit to ask any questions.

But, right now, he could not see Nidhi upset. "Nidhi" "Hmm?" "If you remember, kal tum bet haar gayi thi" Nidhi could not understand what he was talking about, so distracted was she with her thoughts of DB. "Ji? Kaunsa bet?" "Western style Grah pravesh wala bet" She blushed thinking of how awkward she had felt to be in his arms, with everyone looking on. She pouted, "woh toh aapne cheating ki thi...mujhe jaan bujhke giraya aur aap ko idea bhi hai main kitna awkward feel kar rahi thi aise sab ke saamne" "Ye sab toh tumhe pahle sochna chahiye tha. Bet lagane ke pahle ye awkwardness kahan thi? Aur doosri baat maine koi cheating nahi ki, tumne bet ye lagayi ki main tumhe god me uthake dehleez paar karoonga, kaise ye decide nahi hua tha!"

"Lekin phir bhi I will call it cheating!" she said stubbornly

"I did not cheat Nidhi!" he replied in the same tone.

"You did", "I did NOT", "Yes", "No". They burst out laughing. Then he said, "Nidhi, at least accept your defeat gracefully, and stick to your bet". "Theek hai Dr. Ashutosh" she said resignedly "Kya karna hoga mujhe". "Tum mujhe aajse, balke abhi se sirf Ashutosh kehke bulaogi" Nidhi was stunned, "Ji lekin kyun? Mujhse nahi hoga" "Nidhi we are married now. Main tumhara boss nai hun, jo poora din Dr. Ashutosh, Dr. Ashutosh karti raho"

"Theek hai toh humne decide kiya tha na, 'suniyeji'"

"Very smart Nidhi, tum har baar Suniye ji kehkar taal deti ho. Nothing doing, you will call me just Ashutosh and that's final"

"Theek hai, Dr. Ash... I mean Ashutoshji" he was initially happy when she took his name but was again exasperated with 'ji'. He shouted angrily, "No Dr. and no ji. Just plain simple Ashutosh. Have I made myself very clear?"

"Ji..." he again frowned at 'Ji'

"I mean yes"

"Yes what?
She closed her eyes, God this was simply too difficult, he was much elder to her, she respected him a lot but...she had to now."Yes Ashutosh" She almost whispered.

"I could not hear that Nidhi"

"Yes, Ashutosh" she spoke in her usual volume but still slowly and hesitantly. But he was pleased. His name from his lips felt like honey dripping from beehive. It sounded oh so sweet. For sometime, they were silent. Then suddenly Nidhi said, "Dr. Ash..." she stopped at his glare, "I mean mujhe aapse kuch poochna hai" "Very smart DOCTOR Nidhi, anyways tum pahle poochho kya poochhna hai."

"Ji, woh aaj aap jab se mere maike aaye the, kuch pareshaan lag rahe the? Kya hua, KGH me sab theek haina?"

He sighed heavily wondering what and how to tell her. She understood, said, "aap mujhe nahi batayenge to kise batayenge"

He sighed again, saying "Its about Mallika"

"Kya hua Dr. Mallika ko? Woh theek to haina? Woh hamari Shaadi me bhi nahi aayin?" she was genuinely concerned now.

"Haan Nidhi, woh bilkul theek hai. Woh hamari shaadi me isiliye nahi aa payi kyon ke maine use jaan boojh kar last moment ek emergency surgery me fasa diya aur use KGH me hi rukna pada"

Nidhi was confused, "Lekin aapne aisa kyon kiya...I mean, jaan boojh kar... main kuch samjhi nahi"

"Nidhi, main jaanta hoon ke Mallika ki presence tumhe restless kar deti hai. Maine dekha tha, her behavior, her song upset you on our engagement day. And so, I did all this. I didn't want anything to ruin your happiness yesterday"

Nidhi was completely moved, "Dr. (Looking at his glare)...I mean Ashutosh, aap bhi na, why do you love me so much!" He just smiled and shrugged. They share an eyelock.

Nidhi again becomes serious, "Toh ab poblem, I mean, problem kya hai"

"Mallika ko maloom pad gaya ki maine jaan boojhke ye sab..."

"Oh no! phir to woh bahut naaraz hui hongi na?"

"Yes, she was very upset, maine usse maafi maangi toh kehti hai ke she will forgive me only if we go to her place today for dinner. Jab maine use bataya ke we are leaving for honeymoon late evening today, toh boli ke we have to go for tea atleast"

"Toh isme itna pareshaan hone wali kya baat hai? Chaliye na chalte hain. In fact, abhi seedha hi chalte hain. Phir to time hi nahi rahega."

"Nidhi, last time jab hum dinner pe gaye the ta..."

"Come on, jab aap mere liye itna kuch kar sakte hain toh main itna nahi kar sakti. Woh aapki sabse achhi dost hain, jab main aapki life me nahi thi, jab aap bilkul akele the, tab unhone aapka saath diya. Chaliye, please"

"Are you sure Nidhi?"

"Yes, I am sure. Bas aap unhe call kijiye, ke hum abhi aa rahe hain!"
