Part 83

"Hello, Madam.", Nitin answered Aarti's call."How are you?"

"Very well, Nitin. Thanks."

The Raizadas, NK, Baba, Buaji, Amma, & Anand listened in on the conversation, waiting to witness Nitin's surprise at the news of Aarti's wedding.

"The pain...?", Nitin's frown of distress was almost visible in Mumbai.

"Much less now.", said Aarti in her direct way.

"Please don't worry about the work, Madam. Everything is under control.", Nitin reassured her.

"I am not worried about work, Nitin.", Aarti smiled. "I called you for another reason."

"Ji?"

"Is our function hall booked for the 15th of next month?"

"Just a minute, Madam." Nitin checked and confirmed, "No, Madam. It is free on the 15th and the 28th of next month. All the other days are booked."

"Can you book it for the 15th?"

"Ji. Is it a private event or a corporate one,Madam?"

"Err...Private. A wedding."

" Under whose name should I book it, Madam?"

"Err...Mine..."

"Ji...? Ji...", said poor Nitin. "Will the bride and the groom come to select the theme of the decorations, Madam?"

"You choose all that, Nitin."

"Ji?"

"Haan. You choose the interior. Let Bankelalji at the Canteen choose the menu and forward it to me."

"Ji?" Nitin's voice was just a thread.

"And let Jayesh Bhai choose the exterior decorations. And decorate the vehicles to be used."

There was silence for a few moments, and finally, Nitin asked, "Madam, may I have the names of the groom and the bride? We will need to write it with flowers on the stage."

"The groom is...err...Nandkisore."

"Ji." Nitin took down the details.

"The bride...err..the bride is Aarti."

Silence.

"Aarti...?", came Nitin's hushed voice. "Aarti...?"

"Ji... Aarti Mishra."

Silence.

Then came a whoop of joy from Delhi to Mumbai.

"Bitiyaa...your wedding...you are getting married..." All could almost see the tears in Nitin's eyes as he struggled to take in the glad news that he had never dreamed of being able to hear.

The listeners smiled, moved by Nitin's happiness.

"Ji...", Aarti smiled.

"I never dreamed...", Nitin choked.

"Me too, Nitin.", smiled Aarti, shrugging.

"It is the Nandkisore who came here searching for you many times, isn't it, Bitiyaa?"

"Ji..."

"His parents...?"

"His parents are in Australia."

"Oh!"

"You must have met the rest of his family many times in the last few days...", Aarti teased Nitin.

"Ji...", Nitin smiled.

"And you must have met Shri. Anand Dwivedi, the architect."

"Ji.."

"He is Nandkisore's Jijaji."

"Oh!", Nitin smiled, his mind at rest. The Raizadas were crazy about Aarti Bitiyaa. Arnav Singh Raizada and his beautiful wife who hugged Aarti Bitiyaa a lot... Akash Singh Raizada and his wife who had hugged Aarti Bitiyaa in front of hundreds of mechanics in the workshop... The lady with the loud make-up and her husband... The elderly lady... The middle-aged lady with the vegetable basket loved Aarti Bitiyaa... AndAnand Dwivedi was a good man...

He asked, just to be sure, "Gopi Kakka has met them."

"Ji.", Aarti smiled, understanding and appreciating Nitin's caution on her behalf. "He approves of them."

Nitin smiled.

"I was thinking, we can hold the wedding on the 15th of the next month at our hall.", Aarti said.

"Ji...Ji..", smiled Nitin.

"You choose everything, Nitin."

Nitin smiled. "I will send you samples of the best of everything, Bitiyaa. You select the ones you like the best. Your marriage is going to happen only once. It is special. So we will select the best and make it special."

Aarti smiled. The others smiled and nodded.

"Tell me what you would like to have. I will ensure that it is here and ready in time for the wedding. Whatever it is.", Nitin promised.

"There is just one thing I really want, Nitin.",Aarti said softly.

"Ji?"

"I want to send a personal invitation to every employee and his/ her family. I would like all of them there, for the wedding."

Nitin smiled. "It will be done, Madam."

"I will call you later, Nitin.", Aarti smiled. "Nowlet me call Jayesh Bhai and shock him."

"He will treat all of us to ladoo in the canteen today.", Nitin smiled.

Aarti smiled.

"And you will have to give him leave for a couple of days. He vowed years back that he would go to Tirupati and shave his head the day you got married."

Aarti swallowed.


All the others had left the house, some planning to shop and other planning to tour the city. NKwas with Aarti, both of them holding hands and talking.

Amma was asleep.

Gopi Kakka was in the kitchen, supervising the preparation of lunch.



Khushi sat on the antique bed in her room,embroidering a pillow case for Aarti. In between stitches, she stole glances at her husband who was working on his laptop.

"Do you want to tell me something?", Arnav asked, trying to hide a smile, his eyes still on the screen.

"No.", said Khushi, slightly pink at having been caught staring at her husband by the aforementioned husband himself.

"Sure?", he teased.

"Sure.", Khushi said.

Arnav threw a cute and naughty smile at her, and looked at the screen. One...Two...Three...

"Arnavji..."

Arnav coughed to stop himself from bursting out in laughter. He looked at her, his eyes dancing.

But Khushi didn't notice it. She was frowning at the needle.

"Kya hua, Khushi?", asked Arnav softly.

She took that as the invitation to confide in him. And confiding in him meant sitting as close to him as possible.

She abandoned her needle and cloth, and clambered off the bed to walk up to Arnav and to perch on his lap.

Arnav pushed his chair back, and put his arms around his delicious looking wife, all cuddly and pink in a gorgeous pink saree.

"Arnavji, I was thinking..."

"Hhmmm...?"Arnav breathed in the jasmine scent of her unbound hair, letting the strands caress his face.

"NK Bhai is very happy, isn't he?" Khushi leaned back trustingly against him, putting her arms over his around her waist, sighing in happiness.

"Hhmmm..." Arnav buried his face in her hair, and angled his lips to kiss the vulnerable, creamy skin of her neck.

Unaware of his intentions, Khushi said, "I was thinking..."

"Hhmmm?" Arnav eyed her luscious lips.

"Can't Aartiji, Amma, & Gopi Kakka stay with us in RM once they return to Delhi? Why should they go back to that house of theirs with its terrible memories?"

"Hhmmm..." Arnav's eyes narrowed in their contemplation of Khushi's beautiful eyes, her straight, cute nose with its nose pin, and the moving muscles of her throat...His fingers slowly unpinned her pallu.

"Don't you think it is a good idea?", an unaware Khushi asked, sure that he would support her,turning around to face him, still encircled by his strong, protective arms.

"Hhmmm..."

Khushi looked in to his eyes.

"Is it a good idea or not?", she asked, just to be sure of his reply.

"A very good idea. Brilliant, in fact."

Khushi smiled, thrilled that her idea had found favour with her Arnavji. She put her arms around his shoulders, and pressed herself against his warm, muscular chest covered by the soft material of his blue casual top.

"I should have thought of this earlier.", Arnav said regretfully.

Khushi raised her eyebrows in shock. Her idea was that good?

"I should have insisted that you wear only sarees at home. They are so easy to remove, unlike those anarkalis or whatever...", he muttered as he rid her of her cumbersome clothes.

He swooped down to kiss her parted lips,enjoying her gasp of surprise.

Smita,😊

Here is the interpretation for Part 83.

This update showcases delightful, elated, euphoric, joyful, blissful, heavenly, glorious, rapturous, sublime feelings. It is BEATIFIC!

The call placed by Aarti was received by Nitin who enquired about her health.
"How are you?"
"Very well, Nitin. Thanks."
The Raizadas, NK, Baba, Buaji, Amma, & Anand listened in on the conversation, waiting to witness Nitin's surprise at the news of Aarti's wedding.
"Happiness quite unshared can scarcely be called happiness; it has no taste" ~ Charlotte Bronte
"The pain...?", Nitin's frown of distress was almost visible in Mumbai.

"Much less now.", said Aarti in her direct way.

"Please don't worry about the work, Madam. Everything is under control.", Nitin reassured her.
"I am not worried about work, Nitin.", Aarti smiled. "I called you for another reason."
"Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting some on yourself"

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Ji?"
"Is our function hall booked for the 15th of next month?"

To her querry Nitin checked and confirmed it as free.
"Can you book it for the 15th?"
"Ji. Is it a private event or a corporate one,Madam?"
"Err...Private. A wedding."
" Under whose name should I book it, Madam?"
"Err...Mine..."
Listening to this Nitin having no clue as to where this conversation was leading to asked whether the concerned party would come to select the theme of the decorations? When asked to choose it himself, he was flustered.
"Haan. You choose the interior. Let Bankelalji at the Canteen choose the menu and forward it to me."
"Ji?" Nitin's voice was just a thread.
"And let Jayesh Bhai choose the exterior decorations. And decorate the vehicles to be used."
This statement of hers was greeted by silence! When Nitin requested for the names of the bride and the groom to be written amidst the floral decoration on the stage,
"The groom is...err...Nandkisore."
"Ji." Nitin took down the details.
"The bride...err..the bride is Aarti."
Poor Nitin couldn't make out what was going on! He again went on a silent mode! Recovering he asked,
"Aarti...?", came Nitin's hushed voice. "Aarti...?"
"Ji... Aarti Mishra."

This was a surprise to the poor soul! A bolt out of the blue! But an extremely pleasant one!
Silence.
Then came a whoop of joy from Delhi to Mumbai.
"Go for it, while you can. I know you have it in you. And I can't promise you'll get everything you want, but I can promise nothing will change if you don't try" ~ J.M. Darhower, Sempre
"Bitiyaa...your wedding...you are getting married..." All could almost see the tears in Nitin's eyes as he struggled to take in the glad news that he had never dreamed of being able to hear.
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" ~ Dr. Seuss
The listeners smiled, moved by Nitin's happiness.
"Ji...", Aarti smiled.
"I never dreamed...", Nitin choked.
"Me too, Nitin.", smiled Aarti, shrugging.

something to do,

someone to love,

something to hope for" ~ Immanuel Kant
"It is the Nandkisore who came here searching for you many times, isn't it, Bitiyaa?"
"Ji..."
"His parents...?"
"His parents are in Australia."
"Oh!"
"You must have met the rest of his family many times in the last few days...", Aarti teased Nitin.
"Ji...", Nitin smiled.
"And you must have met Shri. Anand Dwivedi, the architect."
"Ji.."
"He is Nandkisore's Jijaji."
Nitin, who along with Jayesh Bhai and the rest of Mishra family of employees, had been protecting her, ensconsed within the safety net of their love, warmth and loyalty was relieved to know that she was marrying into the family of upright citizens with good credentials, who had shown that they love her for herself without even knowing who she was, where she came from.
"Oh!", Nitin smiled, his mind at rest. The Raizadas were crazy about Aarti Bitiyaa. Arnav Singh Raizada and his beautiful wife who hugged Aarti Bitiyaa a lot... Akash Singh Raizada and his wife who had hugged Aarti Bitiyaa in front of hundreds of mechanics in the workshop... The lady with the loud make-up and her husband... The elderly lady... The middle-aged lady with the vegetable basket loved Aarti Bitiyaa... And Anand Dwivedi was a good man...

Still he asked what was Gopi Kakka's thoughts about this. It was just to confirm his feeling and also put to rest even a smallest doubt that may arise!

"Gopi Kakka has met them."
"Ji.", Aarti smiled, understanding and appreciating Nitin's caution on her behalf. "He approves of them."
Nitin smiled.

"I was thinking, we can hold the wedding on the 15th of the next month at our hall.", Aarti said.

"Ji...Ji..", smiled Nitin.

Nitin smiled. "I will send you samples of the best of everything, Bitiyaa. You select the ones you like the best. Your marriage is going to happen only once. It is special. So we will select thebest and make it special."
Aarti smiled. The others smiled and nodded.

"There is just one thing I really want, Nitin.",Aarti said softly.
"Ji?"
"I want to send a personal invitation to every employee and his/ her family. I would like all of them there, for the wedding."
Nitin smiled. "It will be done, Madam."

Aarti smiled.
"And you will have to give him leave for a couple of days. He vowed years back that he would go to Tirupati and shave his head the day you got married."
Aarti swallowed.


When all the others had gone out of the house either shopping or sight-seeing, NK was with Aarti cooing sweet nothings.

The house was quiet. Amma was sleeping.
Gopi Kakka was in the kitchen, involved in the preparation of lunch.
Khushi sitting on her bed was embroidering a pillow case for Aarti. Every now and then she stole glances at her husband who was engrossed in his work.
"Do you want to tell me something?", Arnav asked, trying to hide a smile, his eyes still on the screen.
"No.", said Khushi, slightly pink at having been caught staring at her husband by the afore mentioned husband himself.
"Sure?", he teased.
"Sure.", Khushi said.
Arnav who knew his wife very well with a cute and naughty smile started to count One... Two... Three... On cue came the,
"Arnavji..."
Arnav coughed to stop himself from bursting out in laughter. He looked at her, his eyes dancing.

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever" ~ John Keats
But Khushi didn't notice it. She was frowning at the needle.
"Kya hua, Khushi?", asked Arnav softly.
She took that as the invitation to confide in him. And confiding in him meant sitting as close to him as possible.
She abandoned her needle and cloth, and clambered off the bed to walk up to Arnav and to perch on his lap.

"You're the one I love

to catch myself dreaming about,

the one I love to talk things over with,

the one I love to cuddle next to

until we are as close

as we can be"

Unforgettable ... every moment"
Unaware of his intentions, Khushi said, "I was thinking..."

And I am the wings that soar when she fills me with her gentle strength.

My beloved is the rock

Upon which rests the happiness of all my days"

"Hhmmm..." Arnav's eyes narrowed in their contemplation of Khushi's beautiful eyes, her straight, cute nose with its nose pin, and the moving muscles of her throat...His fingers slowly unpinned her pallu.
"Minutes Hours Days Weeks Months All so quickly passing... Life is too short to let a day go by without telling you... I love you"
"Don't you think it is a good idea?", an unaware Khushi asked, sure that he would support her,turning around to face him, still encircled by his strong, protective arms.
"Hhmmm..."
"From the beginning of time...

In this installment of the story we see, Nitin whose expressions goes from worried to surprise, surprise to joyful. Hearing the news of Aarti's wedding with NK he is elated that finally she is able to get the happiness in her life that she richly deserves! He is happy that she was able to overcome her murky past and was brave enough to embrace the future whole heartedly! He even goes on to say how Jayesh Bhai had been praying and taken a vow for her happiness. All those who were witnessing Aarti's conversation with Nitin were delighted to see the bond she shared with her employees! This gained her a lot of respect! NK was euphoric to spend his time with Aarti and not totting around the shopping bags of his Maasi!

Kushi, serene with the knowledge of NK's happiness, was feeling heavenly with Her Arnavji hovering around her. She was happy to make a bed cover for Aarti. Arnav was enraptured with her angelic smile, her divine lips that sent him to raptures, the glorious feeling of holding her in his arms and the sublime happiness to experience with her!

Truly BEATIFIC!!! Do you also think so?????😉

That's it from. Hope you enjoy it!
