Chapter 16: chapter 16

💖Wedding Reception 💐💒💐The wedding reception took place at the grand five star hotel in the city. All VVIP guests were accumulated. A large area was decorated with red balloons and golden ribbons. In the centre of the dias hung a giant chandelier that illuminated the place with a soft gloden glow. In center was placed a diwan sofa for the couple. The dance floor was filled with disco lights on the right side area. Food and beverages were arranged on the left side. The hall was filled with floating lamps and aroma candles to enhance the ambience. It was a like a royal wedding ceremony which one could dream off. Rakshita was dressed in a beautiful red full frock with golden laces and beads specially designed for her. Her hand was covered with matching knee length hand glove and she held a bouquet of white roses at her hand. She wore a transparent red heel shoes to match her attire. If she had looked ethnic at her wedding, now she looked etheral. There were ahhs... and hoooos... when she entered accompanied by Nikita and Shally in a equally stunning costumes. But Rakesh was not with her. Usually the bride and groom enter as a couple for reception, but here it was not.When Rakshita walking and reached the middle of the hall the lights went off completely. When gave a shocked sound. Then suddenly spot light appeared on Rakshita and everyone turned towards her. Nikita ushered her to walk and the spot light moved along. After two steps, they heard a sound of an instrument 🎸, then the stage on the dias turned on. Everyone were surprised to see Rakesh with a Guitar on stage. He is known to be the ruthless, egoistic, maniac boss. Not as a king of romance. But now he looked really like a romantic king, playing guitar and singing Tuj me rab dikta hai song , which he loved the most because the scenes of the song synchronise with his own character. Where the hero loves his wife so deeply but she has no idea about his love. When she exactly reached the footsteps of the dias, he came to her and extended his hand by singing the song and took her along with him and at the end of the song, he knelt before her and took her hand and gave a kiss on the back side of her hand. Rakshita felt completely mesmerized and his sudden kiss brought her back to reality. This entire eve looked like a page in a fantasy book, but it's just happening in reality to her. Her heart was about to explode due to surprises. Yet she questioned herself whether she is worthy of all this, especially his affection and attention that he pays to her. But the word love never crosses her mind, even though he expresses it so deliberately. She couldn't contemplate the reasons behind his actions, though her heart gives a green signal, her mind shows a red flag. Rakesh took her hand and held it in his. Both greeted the guest. She was flabbergasted and the look was evident on her face to read. They came down from the dias to mingle with the guest. Her hand became sweaty as she was never comfortable with the crowd and being the center of attraction. Though she don't love Rakesh, yet she has vowed herself in the marriage to be a loyal wife be supportive and she understood now it's time to play her role. Rakesh understood her discomfort and rubbed her hand with his thumb finger which eased her. Then she happily spoke to everyone with a big smile plastered on her face. Raghav and her parents were immensely happy to see them both talk to everyone happily. The night ended with dance, food, fun and so on. At night everyone were exhausted while returning to their suites. The had stayed in the same hotel to take care of the arrangements for reception. Only by tomorrow Rakshita is going to enter her in-laws house as a dutiful daughter-in-law. Rakesh was so excited to finally take his bride home and start their new life. He is eagerly waiting to shower all his love up on her. The big day awaits.-------------------------------------------------------------Hi guys!
