Part 12
The lights which were on Pallavi dimmed little by little while she lowered her hand which were blocking the rays from piercing her eyes and slowly her face appeared in front of others who were even more amused.
(In the background)
Tujhse...liya hai khud ko mila,
Liya hai duaon ka sila
Jeene ka sapna liya...
Her anakali started sparkling with the reflection of the light which made her even more glorious. She started looking around with her doe eyes that's when Pallavi noticed that people were looking at her.
She felt awkward as to why people were looking at her as though she has come from an another planet. She tried to ignore them and again started searching when suddenly she heard Khushi calling her "mumma". She turned and saw Khushi walking towards her. Pallavi felt relieved seeing her daughter. She knelt down, stretched her arms towards Khushi while Khushi walked towards her.
Khushi stumbled, just then Pallavi caught her in her arms, Khushi clinged to her and Pallavi embraced her. Khushi looked at her mother and said "mumma mish mish".
Pallavi was surprised "Khushi ne mumma ko miss kiya kya?" Pallavi asked her and Khushi cutely nodded her head. Pallavi smiled and caressed her cheeks and toched her forehead with Khushi's and again embraced her. Just then she spotted Raghav and amma.
Well on the other hand Raghav came out of his frozen state when amma bumped him with her shoulder. He looked at amma and then shifted his focus to Pallavi who was now smiling at him and was walking towards him with Khushi in her arms.
She was looking...he didn't had any words to discribe her beauty. Pallavi came close to Raghav while Raghav was lost. Khushi with her little hands smacked his face and he came out of his la la land. Amma and Farhad were super happy. Raghav smiled at her that's when he noticed Jaiveer was there.
"Nhi koi nhi take your time...even I would have been lost if I had such a beautiful wife" Jaiveer said teasingly to Raghav, Pallavi blushed while Akansha was fuming in anger she excused herself and went away. "Just don't say this to my wife...please" Jaiveer said and Pallavi and amma started laughing.
Keerti and Sunny were shocked and their jaws were open as they were looking at each other.
Again the reporters gathered around them, the bodygaurd's were about to interfere when Jaiveer stopped them and they got back to their positions. And the reporters bombarded with their questions.
"Sir suna hai ki aapne Mr Rao ko personally invite kiya hai" a journalist asked "haan" Jaiveer answered.
"Kyu sir? kya aap unhe baaki logo se zyada favor karte hai" another reporter asked, "meri marzi" Jaiveer answered without even thinking once as he didn't care if he offends anyone.
It was his style as he makes it clear to the people to whom he likes that he likes them and to whom he hates he hates them to the core. Now they shifted their focus to Raghav "sir kya aap..." the journalist was going to ask thats when Khushi plucked the mike's sponge "arey beta...voh khelne ki cheez nhi hai...please usse vapas dedo" the journalist was trying hard to take it from her hand. Seeing that Jaiveer started laughing.
"Khushi...unhe vapas kardo voh sponge" Pallavi said and Khushi reluctantly gave it back. Just then Jaiveer signed the bodygaurd's to take the reporters away. The bodygaurd's cleared the way and Jaiveer excused himself too and went to greet others.
Amma took away Khushi as she was getting uncomfortable with all the crowd. Keerti also took Sunny away from there as she knew Raghav would not spare him if he stood any much longer. Farhad was talking on the phone.
Raghav and Pallavi were left alone amongst the crowd. Raghav came and stood in front of Pallavi, held her hand and whispered "tum bohat sundar dikh raha hai" while Pallavi was blushing. Thats when amma came "Pallavi yaha aa...mai tuhje kissi se milana chahatha hai" amma said and took Pallavi away with her and she teasingly looked back at Raghav who wanted to say so much more to her.
"Yeh amma ka bhi na...hamesh galat timing rehta hai" Raghav whispered to himself. He went to croner took a glass of wine and drank it in one go. After few seconds he started feeling dizzy as though the world was spinning around him. Just then Akansha came and caught him from falling.
"Raghav tum theek ho" Akansha asked, Raghav tried to get a hold of himself "tum....kon" he asked. "Mai Akansha, Col Jaiveer ki beti" Akansha said while coming close to Raghav.
