Yet Another Sunset #6 [New Thread Link On Page 1] - Page 2

@Z Its kay. I understand. But I need a longer comment once you exams are done. See I am being good to you.

@Dee. Awwie. Thank You very much di. Be sure to receive a PM whenever I send them <3

And yeah. Chapter 16 is coming tonight :)

Author's Note: Hmm Chapter 16 of YAS. This is a complete marriage part and the next one too will be like that. Could someone tell me what all happens right after the actual marriage ceremony and the first night. I mean in between the family and close relatives? I would grateful if someone tells because I am neither nor from North India.

No clue how the part turned out. Do leave me sincere comments. For a warning, I suck at writing sequences with so many characters in it. I am better when it involved developing character by character but altogether its a muddle in my head itself :|

And also there is a note in the end regarding PMs. So do not forget to check it out.

Enjoy!

She peeked out of the door, ensuring he was nowhere around and much to her relief he wasn't. She quickly opened the door wide and strode towards the room opposite where Muskaan was dressing up. Instinctively she kept an eagle eye for his re-emergence and sincerely wished that he wouldn't show up in front of her or else God Save her. Thank You, bhagwaan ji, she murmured heavily as she clicked open the bride's dressing room and gave a stupid grin at the inquisitive eyes.

Muskaan was a huge distraction. Ridhima forgot all about her embarrassing encounter with the idiot himself as her loud mouthed friend sat calmly, clad in the signature crimson lehenge. She was done dressing and a few older women along with the beautician began leaving for downstairs. Naina saw Ridhima and considered that they might need a moment. She nodded meaningfully at Ridhima and she simply smiled back in gratitude. "Looks a bit too extravagant?" Muski asked Ridhima casually. "Are you kidding me? It's perfect. Besides, I don't get to see the bholi bhali you often," Ridhima teased. Muskaan blushed at the comment. Ridhima considered.

Muskaan's face was a mixture of several feeling bombarding in at once. Confusion, tension, anxiety, worry, hope; everything blinded her and despite her makeup, it was written on her face. Ridhima couldn't help but smile. This was it, she knew. Their morning conversation was foreboding. But these moments was what was so powerfully imminent; when everything muddled up. Every girl needed the additional confidence that she was doing the right thing. And Ridhima took pride in the fact that she was the only one who could impart that confidence in Muskaan. She had prepared herself. She knew just the right thing to say. Ridhima bent down on her knees and positioned her sari. Muskaan looked nowhere but the ground with a blank expression and deep breaths accompanying it. "Muski," Ridhima began softly, placing her palms on her thighs, "This is the best thing that can happen to you. Rahul is so your man, there is no doubt about that. If there is one thing I am sure about, it's that he will keep you happier than anyone else." Muskaan nodded taking in Ridhima's words like air. As for Ridhima, she shook her noticing that there was more to what Muskaan needed security on. "I know. It's tough when you have to leave a home and then over to a new place with just a man supporting you. But what about it? You are Muskaan. And that will never change. " Muskaan looked up and glowed. "Okay, the last line was exaggeration," Ridhima commented. Muskaan smacked her and then chuckled. "I mean seriously, philosophy and me is as bad as Muskaan and sharm," Ridhima told pretending to be serious. Muskaan made an expression of deep thought. "Now that you mention it, I am beginning to agree with you." "That's my girl." Muskaan flashed an ear to ear smile acknowledging Ridhima. "Then what are you waiting for..." she pointed. "I don't know. A hug maybe?" The two burst out laughing and threw their arms on each other, their kindling friendship promising to be stronger, unspoken.

"It's about time," Naina announced anxiously. Ridhima stood up and once again straightened her sari. She had worn it just once or twice before and handling it wasn't exactly her strong point. Muskaan inhaled hard and closed her eyes as she silently prayed. Ridhima too, dropped a request to the Almighty. Then, things happened smoothly without count. Bua Ji and Naina came to get Muskaan and Ridhima herself accompanied her. Muskaan received the love and blessings of everyone as she walked down their stairs as the gorgeous bride . "This is so your day, Muski," Ridhima whispered excitedly, squeezing Muskaan's arms.

Ridhima was grinning widely till the moment she caught him eyeing her at a distance, a naughty smile tingling on his mouth. She gulped hard and on some force, she pulled the pallu that covered her tummy closer to which he uncontrollable giggled. Annoyed she decided to leave him out of her thoughts and focus on what was more important. But it proved to be such a hard task what with Armaan and herself occupying almost the same positions while the ceremonies were going considering that the both of them were the best friends of bride groom and bride. All along Armaan advanced towards her the naughtiest and most meaningful of all glances and occasionally stares too which accelerated Ridhima's pace when she moved around handling the odd jobs in the wedding rush. And how much Armaan enjoyed seeing the smile on her face turn into voiceless gasps and then her cheeks take colour, even he didn't know. The truth was that she always did so without realizing that he was pulling her leg and even when she did understand it, he always managed get such a reaction from her.

Ceremonies went smoothly with the prayers chanted loudly. Muskaan's boundless joy was worth everything when Rahul placed the sindoor on her maang. The priest declared Rahul and Muskaan married, leaving Naina in tears. Ridhima clapped so hard that her palms turned tomatoes. Pandit ji wanted to leave early so he was escorted just as the rest of house sprang in celebration.

The elders demanded pictures be taken with the bride and the boys were more than happy to oblige. And that's when Ridhima's irritation shot to tolerance point. Each time Ridhima adjusted herself in the frame, Armaan would smile toothily right before clicking with her poses going to weirdness. After a few pics like that, Ridhima made up her head and by now immune to his reminding beams. She faced the camera this time, looking straight at it and making sure that his faces would not affect her. A second before the flash came, Armaan winked and the result was a beet root cheeked Ridhima with popping eyes. She then busied herself and purposely avoided being called in for pics.

Aditi was taking care of the kids at 'The Nest' on strict orders from Vivek. Despite her strong protests, Vivek was adamant that Aditi do nothing that would stress her. So she got the job of handling the kiddos who would not understand the M of marriage. And now she was exhausted. As much as she got to enjoy her friend's wedding, it wasn't the same as to shaking a leg. She decided that she has had it and so she pranked Vivek into believing that she wanted to use the washroom urgently and dumped the responsibility of her poor husband who pulled along Atul and Armaan into it. Aditi, heavily content, had a plan in head. She wanted some extra spice in the wedding. She did talk about it to Ridhima secretly the other day but Ridhima hadn't given back a fair answer but just then she knew she had to convince Ridhima because masti was Aditi's twin. And anyways, Muskaan's wedding should be much more than just a wedding.

Next : Chapter 17

NOTE REGARDING PMs: I cannot afford to send PMs to everyone in my buddy list. Even my PM account buddy list is overflowing. I don't have the heart to delete anyone from my lists. So I thought of something else. 'LIKE' the update to receive PMs on the next update. That is only if you 'like' this aka Chapter 16 will you get PMs for Chapter 17. This way I am not disturbing people who do not read my FFs and I also get to know who genuinely wants to read ahead. Its applicable for each FF/ SS of mine.
