Chapter 12 Part A
It was the day of the grand event Yash Scindhia twelfth Birthday party the mansion was a bee hive of activity, there were guest from out of town staying at the mansion, all the relatives and close friends were invited who brought their children who were close to Yash's age. This was the birthday of a Prince as the Scindhia were the direct descendant of a royal family from central India; money was not a problem as they were a very rich family in the top ten of the wealthiest in India; all this craziness did not matter much to the birthday boy, his preference is to have a small party with his family, and of course the Sharmas with his friend Aarti present. This grand celebration went above his head, Yash was patiently awaiting the arrival of Aarti with the Sharmas so he kept watch from the upstairs balcony looking at the front gate.
Finally the time came here she was his most important guest Aarti dresses in a yellow, with silver and black embroidery anarkali suit, her hair combed in two cane row half plats with the rest flowing down her back, there were clips of multi coloured butterflies adorning her hair she looked so beautiful to him like an angel who came from heaven just for him. Amam, and Mansi looked nice too but he only had eyes for Aarti. Yash ran down the stair towards the Sharmas quickly received his blessing from the elders but all he wanted was to show Aarti his home, and most importantly the gardens. " Bauji may I take my friends inside and show them the decorations " enquired Yash with a bright smile. " Yes Beta go ahead enjoy your selves, and introduce them to the other children OK" replied his bauji.
Prateek who was at his bhayia side took both Aarti's, and Mansi's hand ushering them inside leaving Aman to follow with Yash.Prateek took them to the indoors pool which had lilies mixed with blue, white, and silver balloons floating in harmony with each other, the bridge had strings of white jasmine flowers interlaced with white orchid the wall and doors had flowers of light blue, deep blue, white, light purple, yellow intertwined with twinkling lights, there were more balloons of various size and shape thrown every where the atmosphere was magical. Yash being the perfect host introduced his three special friends to all the kids present. Maya bua made sure she had some of her own guest present with their little daughters amoung them were two little girls Aripta who was from Dehli, and Ishita she had a little handicap her foot was broken in an accident, and it healed badly leaving her with a permanent limp but she was fair in complexion and bua who loved colour liked her a lot, also her father was a local minister in the local government. Not to be out done Prateek introduced his best friend Paradhi to his new didis, and bhayia the little girl turned out to be just as naughty as he had described. The six kids had loads of fun together they were the junior hosts and hostess of the party much to the amusement of the elders. Te Scidhias organizes a concert with various entertainment that catered for good family enjoyment, there was a magic show with amazing illusions, a very comical puppet show, and songs with dancers from a well known troupe this all took place in a large tent decorated with the same blue, white, and sliver theme with flowers and balloons. There were lots of snacks, and finger food to be enjoyed by both young, and old, drinks for all different tastes alcoholic, non alcoholic, fruit juices and different types of punch for the kids. the garden and surrounding grounds were massive so horses and carriages were available for rides our six little friends stayed together the entire time, they had their ride with Prateek happily showing all his and his Yash bhayia favourite spot. Yash made sure his Aarti was comfortable every step of the way, he enjoyed seeing the look of wonder and appreciation on her little face, she was having a good time, both Mansi and Aarti would share an occasional joke and laugh, Prateek and his Pari would sometimes join in the fun, Yash, and Aman would either smile, shake their head or roll their eyes.
Maya tried her best to get Yash to mingle with Aripta, and Ishita but the boy was not interested, he was polite to them introduced them to his friends, made sure they made friends with the other children present, and had fun with the other kids, leaving him with Aarti and her siblings to have their own fun. G3 ma was in charge of organizing games for the kids keeping in mind that there were kids of different ages there.
There was a buffet dinner under the stars in the large tents followed by dancing inside, and outside music provided by both DJ and a live band. The time came for yash to cut his cake his ma ordered a huge cake shaped in his favourite comic book hero with various side cakes of the different side kicks he loved. Yash cut his cake with his five buddies, and his family standing closely behind him, he fed his parents, Maya bua grandparents, then Aarti followed by Prateek and his three buddies; Mansi, Prateek, and Paridhi being the naughty trio smeared cake on Yash's cheeks much to his annoyance, everyone laugh at the antics of the kids, G3 had napkins available just in case.
Throughout the merriment of the evening there were two pairs of eyes closely following Aarti and her friends, they smiled at the precious little angel, got enjoyment at seeing her happy face, her friendship with her siblings, and the two young Scindhia boys and their friend.
"Akash, Aripita what do you think about our little betie is she not beautiful, look at the way she handles herself and thoes around her" said Suraj with so much pride, and love in his voice, and eyes. "She will be a great leader one day and do us all proud" he continued. Aarti's biological parents had tears of joy in their eyes "Our Baby" said Aripita holding on to her husband for support she wanted to run and hold her daughter close to her heart, and shower her with kisses, never to let her go ever again. Akash held on to his wife because he also wanted to hold his only child in his arms and never let her out of his sight. They loved their baby very much but it was still not safe for her to reunite with them Akash still had many enemies both in and outside of their family, and the innocent baby Aarti would be the target of violence, there is nothing his enemies would not do to the child to get back at her parents. "Would you like to meet her and the Sharmas no one will know about your relationship to her" invited Suraj he continued "My family, and of course the Sharmas know about your special relationship to her but outside of them no one knows or will ever know until the time is right" Suraj along with Aarti's parents went to the area where the six buddies were dancing with the Dadajis, and the Dadijis.
