Arranged Marriage |COMPLETED| [#YourStoryIndia]

29. Sangeet Ceremony.

Nandini's POV.

Because we are not having a destination wedding I wanted all the ceremonies to happen from my home only, in less then a week I will leave this home and go to my new home, Manik's house, well if he hears me saying that he will again get angry and poor me, I will have to hear his lecture on how that's our house, not his, how this is our house not mine, how everything he owns is mine, etc etc! I smiled looking at the arrangement, the whole living room was converted into a beautiful hall, the centre was empty for the performances, the sitting arrangement was around it, it was so beautiful as if we are in a banquet but with a homely touch to it.

Nandu beta what are you doing here, go and get ready, it's already six and the function starts at seven.
I looked at Chachi who was standing infront of me with her back towards me while she instructed the works about the decorations.
All these years I never had my own parents with me, all I have is a faint memory of them but all the rest memories I have is with Chacha , Chachi and Abhimanyu bhai. They never let me feel that I am not actually their daughter and sister respectively, I never missed my parents in all these years and all thanks to them.
I was lost in my thoughts my I felt Chachi shaking me.
Nandini, are you fine baccha? Where are you lost?
Chachi was worried, and I could see that in her eyes, she was cupping my right cheek , I gently nodded a no and kissed her palms, I don't know when tears flew from my eyes as Chachi immediately hugged me.
Nandu, baccha is everything ok? Why are you crying? Don't you like the arrangement?
Shit! I made Chachi worried, I broke the hug and wiped at tears and smiled at her.
Chachi! Aap itna tension Kyun leti ho? I love all these arrangements and everything is fine.
I assured her but she was still not convinced.
Then why were you crying?
I smiled sheeplessly as she waited for my answer.
Vo I was thinking about you, our family.
Chachi was confused with my answer, I smiled and made her sit on the nearby sofa and I myself sat down infront of her.
Chachi I was so small when mom and dad passed away, but I never felt like I am an orphan, and that's only because of you , chacha and Bhai, I hardly have any memories of my parents but I have alot of memories with you all.
Chachi's face was covered with tears, her grip on my hand became tight but I continued, I have never been able to hide anything from Chachi ever and today too I will tell her everything.
Chachi, you all have given me so much love that I feel that even my parents wouldn't have been able to love me and pamper me so much.
Chachi nodded a no at my statement but its true.
Chachi I just want to tell you that I love you, I love you alot! And I can't live without you, so aap gussa mat kerna if I come here everyday after my marriage.
Chachi laughed at my statement and lightly hit my head as I giggled.
I love you too baccha! But it's time for you to get ready!
Chachi said as she got up and made me stand too, I nodded and ran upstairs but not before pecking her cheeks as she laughed.
