Recap
Maan was introducing Sunny to every one in the hall, at that time''.
"Geet beta, would you please bring Aarti ki thali"
Part 16
Maan came inside the hall where every one was standing with surprise and shock written all over their faces when they saw his hand around a woman's waist. They all knew Maan to be a shy and reserved sort of a person always trying to keep away from women. It was a different matter though that his personality always attracted women like moths were attracted to flames.
When he saw Dadi, he immediately bent down to touch Savitri Devi's feet.
"Dadi, this is Sunny''''err Sonalika." He introduced, blushing a bit.
"Sonalika, please take Dadima's blessing as she is not only my grandmother but has been my mom, my best friend and more than that she is a God and the ultimate Law for me."
Bending down to take blessing from Savitri Devi, "May I call you 'Dadima', please, will you be my grandmother as well?" She said in her heavily accented voice.
The girl was a stunning beauty having her sandy brown hair fashioned into one long silky plait that fell over her slender shoulder, eyes the color and appearance of the blue sky on a clear summer's day, and features that easily could have been of a Super Model.
Savitri Devi was immediately charmed by the girl in front of her, hugging her when she got up, "Yes you can call me 'Dadima' Sonalika, like the rest of them do."
"Please call me Sunny as my name is too big and too traditional. I do not like my name."
"Nakul", Maan called out.
"Please take her luggage to my room" he shied as he instructed his face turning red.
"Wait"
"Geet beta, would you please bring Aarti ki thali" Dadi asked Geet on the intercom.
Everyone who had been standing in a shell shocked manner until now, slowly came out of the trance and joined Dadima, staring at Sonalika as if she was a specimen kept in a Museum, each one having a different expression on their faces. While the boys behaved as if they have been given chocolate, the girls' expressions were the best.
Sameera looked like she had swallowed a bitter pill while Pari had jealousy written all over her face. Pinky had a stunned expression while NT kept her cool. Meera who had come to attend Geet's engagement was the coolest one, giving Sonalika a quick hug, and introducing her to everyone standing around.
Everyone waited for Geet to bring the Aarti ki thali so Dadi started talking to Sunny, while the girls got busy discussing the cloths and jewelry they would be wearing for the party. Everyone was very excited as the party had a black and white theme and the girls wanted to see what different outfits were worn by others.
The boys got fed up hearing about cloths and jewelry so they moved away to talk amongst themselves. As soon as the boys were out of earshot the girls started to talk about the revenge they had to take from Vicky who had played a prank on Geet at her Roka ceremony. Each one started giving different ideas to irritate him. NT who had been silent uptill now gave them an idea which was approved by all. They decided to prank other boys as well. They decided to exclude Geet, not wanting her to feel harassed on such an important day. When the final decision was made about what part was to be played by whom they went to Dadima to inform her about it.
Geet came in with the thali in her hand and she saw Maan at the door. She run to him giving him a one handed hug as her other hand still held the thali.
"Maan, where have you been? Why did you take so many days to come? Who did you think would look after the arrangements in your absence? Poor Ma, had to cut short her trip, only because the Dhusht Danav doesn't have time?" She keeps on complaining to him without stopping to take a breath and a break in between.
"Ma, app hi Maan ko kuch boliye na. He has come after so long."
Dadima, "Slow down, Geet"
"Geeet, tum ne Mujhe Dusht Danav kaha"
"Toh kya mein app ko Double Dusht Danav kahun" and then very innocently she says, "Aacha theek hai, agar App ko ye jyada pasand hai toh Mujhe koi problem nahi hai."
"Geeet"
"Han Mujhe pata hai ki mera naam Geet hai" as she said this her eyes fell on the person standing next to him. For a second her hand shook but then she regained her composure.
"This is Sonalika, Geet'..err'''his girlfriend. Ok let's not waste time, Give me the Aarti ki thali." Saying this Dadima takes the thali from Geet's hands and lights the Diya and the Kapoor for the aarti.
The strong scent makes Sunny run from there holding her breath and covering her nose.
Saying, "Sorry Dadi, She is pregnant" Maan ran after her.
