31. Mehendi & Sangeet

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Your wedding gift. Open it! See if you like it or not.", he said patting my head. I opened the box and was shocked. More than shocked, my jaw dropped. My eyes became teary.

"Akash bhaiya what is this! This is so expensive. No, no bhaiya I can't take this!", I said to him. It was a diamond necklace set, which looked very expensive.

"Aaru! You call me 'bhaiya' right!? Agar badha bhai kuch pyaar se apni choti behen k liye kuch le aye toh na nahi kehete!", he said to me in a dominating manner

"Aaru! You call me 'bhaiya' right!? Agar badha bhai kuch pyaar se apni choti behen k liye kuch le aye toh na nahi kehete!", he said to me in a dominating manner.
(Aaru! You call me your brother right!? If an elder brother brings something for his little sister with love then you should never refuse it!)

"But bhaiya...", I was about to complete but got cut off by him.

"Meri khudki behen ne mujhe itna pyaar, itni izzat nahi ki hai Aaru, jitni tumne mujhse ki hai! Aur main tumhe sach mein apni behen k roop mein hi dekhta hoon!", Akash bhaiya said caressing my head lovingly. Tears pooled down my eyes. I have got a real brother in true sense. Who says blood relations are everything!?
(My own sister doesn't love and respect me the way you do Aaru! And I really think of you as my own sister!)

"Mere khudke bhai ne mujhe kabhi itna pyaar nahi diya bhaiya, jitna aap humme dete ho! Main aaj yahi jewellery pehenungi!", I said to him smiling. I took out the necklace and the earrings from the box and wore it.
(My own brother never loved me so much the way you do bhaiya! I'll wear this today only!)

"Kaisi lag rahi hoon bhaiya?", I asked standing in front of him.
(How am I looking bhaiya?)

"Bohot sundar!", saying Akash bhaiya wrapped me in his loving embrace. Both of us broke down into sobs. We both had got blood related siblings but never got the love from them. My bhaiya never loved me the way Akash bhaiya does, but I don't know about his family, about his sister. Maybe Nihar knows about Akash bhaiya's family, because I could see a lone tear dropping down her eyes when Akash bhaiya mentioned about his family.
(Very beautiful!)

"Guys, aab yeh rona dhona stop karke humko niche chalna chahiye because the mehendi artists have arrived!", Nihar said rubbing a lone tear down her eyes. Isha and Virat were also in tears.
(Guys, now we should stop crying and head downstairs because the mehendi artists have arrived!)

I walked down the stairs along with the others into the living hall, which was wonderfully decorated. This decoration was giving me a Bollywood vibes. I am sure this is done by my friends.

"Oh my! Is this our Aaru? Kisi ki nazar na lagey!", saying bhabhi rolled her palms around my head. I chuckled at her gestures.

"Bhabhi sit down somewhere! Don't walk so much, you aren't alone now!", I said pointing at her little baby bump.

"Don't worry much about me, I am fine! Go and sit for your mehendi! Then we have the sangeet function also.", saying bhabhi made me sit on my seat. The mehendi artist smiled at me and she started filling my hands.
