thanks

Dida and Mashimaa were looking after the food arrangements,while,Subroto and Ashwin helped in the last minute hall decorations.Shubh and Rudra was asked to look after the security arrangements,while,Dida asked Riya and Sara to help Antara to get her ready.

After re-checking every single thing,all of them went to their respective rooms for getting ready.

In the evening:

Guests started to come.Subroto and Dida welcomed them.Waiters were serving snacks and soft drinks.Rohit and DIG Mama were talking with the guests.After a while,Panditji asked Mashimaa to call the expecting mother.Mashimaa signalled Riya and Sara to bring Antara down.

After 5 minutes,a married woman played the conch shell while the other married women did the ''Ulu'' sound,when Antara was coming down the stairs with Riya and Sara.As she came down,she was taken towards the dais,where the Godh Bharai rituals will take place.

[Imagine her as Antara:

As the Panditji performed the Aarti,he signalled Dida of Rohit to start the ritual.As Dida applied the tilak and placed some gifts on her aanchal,she whispered blessings for Antara and Rohit's baby in her ears.This was followed by Mashimaa and DIG Mama,Sara and Ashwin and other guests... Everyone presented her gifts and blessed her and her unborn baby.

Finally,it was Riya's turn. Riya applied the tilak and placed a handful of rice,a coconut and some sarees and a two pairs of white and red bangles on Antara's aanchal.Riya went near Antara and whispered something in her ears,which made Antara blush...

''Boudi,Maa Durga aapko aur aapke hone wale bacche ko humesha khush aur salamat rakkhe... Love you,Boudi...'' Riya said to Antara...

Antara's eyes filled with tears.She took Riya in a hug and said, ''Mere liye iss parivaar ki khushiyaan aur teri khushiyaan se zyada kuch bhi nahi hai... Tu khush rahe,toh,main bhi khush rahungi... Sadaa khush rehna,meri bacchi...''

Riya smirked lightly and said, ''Meri khushi toh kabki mujhse cheen chuki hai... Ab khush hone se bhi dar lagta hai,Boudi... Lekin,aap sab keliye khush rehti hu... Aaplogo ki khushi mein meri khushi hai...(wipes her tears)... Anyways, Godh Bharai ki function hai aur nachna gaana nahi??? Yeh kya baat hui???? (running towards Sara,Ashwin,Shubh,Rudra and Subroto) Chalo,kuch dhol baja hojaye???''

Ashwin played the music,while Rohit and Mashimaa helped Antara to sit on a sofa... All the others took their places to enjoy the programme...

Ashwin,Sara,Subroto,Rudra and Shubh danced,sometimes together,sometimes giving solo performances... They also dragged Rohit in their dance.Rohit also danced.

Now,it was Riya's turn.

BG Music:

Hey dhin tadaak dhin tadaak
Aaja ud ke saraat
Pairon se bedi zara khol
Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje
Dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhum dhaayn
Nagada sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje
Dhaayn dhaayn dhaayn dhum dhaayn (x2)


As she was dancing,Rohit and Antara looked at their Riya,who was dancing after so many years.Rohit's eyes brimmed with tears to see his babu enjoying after so many years.A smile crept up his lips.

Sara also joined Riya in the dance.

Re khat-khat haan khat-khat
Baaje dastak woh na ab tak aaya
Re tab se haan tab se
Haan dekhe raahein
Ki ab tu khol baahein aaja
Umad-ghumad ghumein
Re machle re mora mann
Goonje re baalam ke bol
