Only 5 days were left for the marriage.
Both the families were busy in the preparation as they didn't want to leave any stone unturned to make it grand and memorable .
Abhimanyu was looking at the setting sun leaning on the railing in his balcony lost in his thoughts.
Riddhima cleared her throat breaking his trance and forwarded the coffee mug .
He took it silently and she smiled looking at her brother.
Worried !!! She asked caressing his arm lightly.
No ,but a little nervous...he accepted and she hummed asking him to continue.
I don't know if I will be able to keep her happy and would be able to keep up to her expectations....he confessed making Ridhima smile.
But I am preety confident about you . The way you are thinking about her happiness, her expectations, giving her priority over yourself....that's what a girl want in her partner. I know loving again would be a bit difficult for you but it will happen gradually.
Go with the flow and don't ponder about it much . Things will workout once you guys will start leaving together. You both will get to know more about each other lives and will develop a mutual understanding about things with time Ridhima explained.
I didn't know you can talk sensibly too sometimes ... Abhimanyu said gaining a light punch from her and both laughed.
I hope it helps....she said .
It does ....he said raising the coffee mug making her huff knowing that he won't give her credit that easily.
Maa is happy....he stated sipping his coffee .
Happy ...she is over the moon. She loves Mishka more then us...Ridhima said and he smiled nodding his head.
******
Here Gyatri Devi took out some jwellery boxes from her locker and smiled caressing the boxes with teary eyes .
Daadi why were you calling me ..... Mishka asked entering the room and Gyatri ji smiled patting the couch asking her to sit beside her .
These are for you .....she said giving the boxes to Mishka making her frown .
She opened the boxes one by one to find gold and diamond jewellery and she immediately recognised that they belonged to her mother as she had seen them in pictures .
She caressed the necklace and bangles trying to feel her mother through them .
She hugged her Daadi and sobbed remembering her parents.
Her father had many dreams regarding her marriage and Mishka was missing him a lot these days but held her emotions back in front of Gyatri Devi but Today she just let the tears flow in the embrace of her Daadi .
I don't want to leave you Daadi. I want to be with you ....she cried making Gyatri ji emotional too .
Gyatri ji held her Grand daughter close to her chest kissing her hairs repeatedly.
Mishka fell asleep in her Daadi's arms after her emotional meltdown.
Gyatri ji caressed her hairs lovingly and prayed to God to bless her child with happiness and a prosperous future.
Next day Mishka went to the parlour as from tomorrow the rituals will start and she was not allowed to step outside after that .
Ridhima and Pooja were also there with her .
It was bridal package for Mishka while Ridhima and Pooja chose according to their needs .
Mishka was paranoid when asked for Brazilian bikini wax. She denied instantly knowing how much it would hurt her but Ridhima and Pooja teased her making her blush .
After a lot of convening Mishka finally gave in although she knew nothing of that sort will happen on their first night given their present circumstances.
After finishing up their session they decided to have lunch .
Mishka was having some pain down there due to waxing and as per the beautician it will take at least 12 hrs to get back to normal.
The pain will be worth it....Pooja winked at Mishka making her blush unknowingly while Ridhima laughed looking at Mishka's flushed face .
Pooja got a call from her home and she left bidding them bye .
Ridhima called Abhimanyu purposely asking him to pick her up as she wanted Mishka and him to spend some time together before wedding.
When he arrived she made an excuse and left leaving them together.
How are you .... Abhimanyu asked breaking the silence.
I am good ....she replied tucking her behind her ear due to nervousness as she was feeling conscious around him all of a sudden.
Come let me drop you home ... Abhimanyu said and she nodded meekly.
Abhimanyu noticed that she was having some discomfort while walking and questioned her about the same .
What happened...he asked making her close her eyes due to embarassment.
Nothing ...she replied shaking her head .
Mishka don't you dare to lie and tell me ...he inquired strictly this time turning her towards himself.
Everything is ok .it's just that I am little tired and nothing else . There is no pain anywhere...she said giving him a nervous smile that instantly faded seeing his hard glare .
She looked away not knowing how to make him understand. It was highly embarrassing for her but he was being stubborn.
If you don't want to tell me then it's ok . Let's go to the doctor...he said making her widen her eyes .
Noooo... Doctor can't do anything about it .....she said making him frown .
She knew he won't let it go and take a deep breath before blurting out .
It's due to waxing ......she finally told him .
What waxing .....he was now totally confused but then he understood seeing her flushed face and cursed himself in his mind for being stubborn.
Hmmm .....let's go ...he said making her follow him silently.
He could sense her discomfort during the ride and got angry at her stupid stunt .
What was the need for it when it's this painful.....he blurted out in anger making her look at him in shock .
This was the first time they were talking about something too personal and Mishka was totally flushed and embarrassed by now .
She didn't spoke a word and avoided looking at him too.
Same was the case with Abhimanyu.
There was awkwardness surrounding them.
Icecream....he asked all of a sudden making her look at him and he pointed at the icecream stall and Mishika smiled.
Abhimanyu stopped the car on the side of road and Mishika was about to step down but he asked her to keep sitting inside .
He went to bring her icecream and she smiled seeing his caring nature and kept on admiring him .
She still couldn't believe that she is going to marry him in less then 6 days ...
It felt a dream ....a beautiful dream .
He came back with their icecream and Mishika thanked him giving him a beautiful smile.
Their fingers brushed against each other as they both reached their hands out to grab the tissue at the same time .
Mishika took her hand back feeling Shy and he gave a tissue paper and she said a small thank you .
So the function will be starting from day after Tomorrow.....he stated and she hummed .
You guys are not facing any sort of problem right ...He asked .
Mishika smiled seeing his concern and shook her head .
Everything is fine ....she assured him and he nodded .
Is everything includes you too ...
He asked and she looked down in her lap and nodded and he sighed.
Look at me ......kya hua . Is there something bothering you ....he asked turning her face towards himself.
I have never stayed away from my Daddi ...after Papa she has become my everything and now the mere thought of leaving her is hurting me......her voice broke and the beautiful eyes got filled with unshed tears.
You can bring Dadi with you to our home....we would love to have her with us .... Abhimanyu said and she pouted.
I already asked Daadi about it and she said that I am an idiot to even think like that and she would stay at her home only ....and even Raunak said he wont let Daadi go away from him ......Mishika said making Abhimanyu chuckle.
Hmmmm....that's a serious problem....how about I home arrest Daddi ...he suggested making Mishika laugh .
And he smiled too seeing her laughing like that .
Roya mat karo .....be happy like this only ....He said and she stopped laughing listening to him and looked at him surprised.
They had an intense eyelock that was broken by Mishika realising that their icecream was melting.
Abhimanyu dropped her home and returned back to his work .
He was reading a case file when his phone rang and it was his mother .
Maa...
Before Abhimanyu could say further Revati ji cut him off .
Ghar p sab tayari chal Rahi h .....decoraters aa gye hai .... Rishtedaar aana shuru ho gye hai .
Mei akeli kitna kuch Karu .....hadh h Abhimanyu.
Sameer bhi Lucknow gye h kisi kaam se aur Ridhi bechari shopping kar rahi h upar se Nivi ko bhi fever h .
I want you home this instant and I have asked you to apply a leave for 2 weeks ....
What about that ....I won't let you work from tomorrow....and I am very serious this time .
Careless boy !!!! She huffed .
I want you home in 30 minutes ....she ordered him and cut the call without letting the poor men say even a word.
Abhimanyu sighed looking at the screen and then closed the file.
Assigning the work to the other officers he met His senior and left to go home .
He has taken a leave for one week as 2 weeks will be too much for him and he will deal with his mother regarding that after the marriage only .
He came home to find the workers doing their work and they greeted him and continued with the decoration.
He greeted his Maasi's and Bua who have reached home and hour only .
His extended paternal and maternal family from their village will be reaching by today's night or tomorrow morning.
His cousin sister's were also there and they teased him making him glare at them playfully but that didn't changed anything instead they teased him even more saying that now Mishika Bhabhi will bring back on his track and to make it worst his mother joined them too .
I must say Tai ji .....you have found a very beautiful Bhabhi for Bhai ...one of his cousins sisters said looking at their engagement album .
Yeahhh and she looks so innocent too ....other one said .
You all will fall in love with her once you will meet her .
My Mishika is one in lakhs .....Revati ji said praising Mishika.
But Didi mene suna h uske Maa Baap nahi h .....Daadi aur Chacha -Chachi k saath rehti h .....One of his Maasi said .
Toh kya ho gya .....Ab mei hu uski Maa and her Daadi loves her a lot and has raised her with high values .....Revati ji said not liking what her sister said .
And please Meena don't mention this ever again even by mistake....she added and his Maasi shut her mouth immediately.
Abhimanyu knew that his mother loves Mishika but it still surprised him how she was defending her and not tolerating anything against her even from her own sisters whom she loves a lot .
Indeed she is her mother in real sense ...he thought with a small smile and left to his room.
