Chapter 43: chapter 43

Soon it was Kabir's and Nidhi's wedding day.. Sanjana went early in the morning to help Nidhi in her preparations..When she entered Nidhi's room, she heard Nidhi's mom saying," Nidhi are you sure you want this wedding, think about it once again beta, we can still stop this"Nidhi is their  only daughter and they are rich enough to get a suitable boy for her.  She does not need to marry a person with a kid. But Nidhi was stubborn, she said she will marry only Kabir and there is no change in her decision..Nidhi's mom wiped her tears and said, " you never listened to us Nidhi, I don't understand what rubbish Kabir's mom filled in your head that you agreed to marry him.."Mom, I am not marrying him because Kabir's mom forced me , it's completely my decision and I will stick to it.. "Nidhi's mom gave a dissatisfied nod and left the room..When Nidhi saw Sanjana, she smiled and said," thank you for coming early Sanjana, come help me in wearing this heavy Saree.." Sanjana sighed and helped Nidhi in draping the kanjeevaram saree..."Where is aunty?? Why didn't she come?? ",Nidhi asked..She will come at the wedding time, Sanjana replied.. Sanjana helped her applying makeup, wearing bangles and jewellery.. When Nidhi was done, Sanjana looked at her with a smile on her lips."Why are you smiling?? ""You look so beautiful Nidhi, you always tease me but after looking at you now, I feel like marrying you..  ""Enough Sanjana, stop teasing ..""By the way, did you bring your clothes? You have to get ready yet?",Nidhi questioned."Yes I do, don't worry ,I will not take much time. before that I will go meet aunty and come.",. Sanjana replied and walked out of the door..She walked towards Nidhi's mom's room and knocked on the door."Door is open Sanjana, get in." She heard Nidhi's mom's voice from the room..When she entered she saw Nidhi's mom in normal clothes, she didn't get ready.Her eyes were red, she was still crying..Sanjana sighed and sat beside Nidhi's mom.."Aunty, It's a big day in Nidhi's life..please don't be like this..I know you and uncle are not happy with this wedding, even I shouted at Nidhi when I heard she is getting married to Kabir.. but Aunty Nidhi has Kabir in her heart.  She has been loving him  long back ,infact before his first marriage."Nidhi's mom's eyes widened when she heard Sanjana.."Yes aunty, after Kabir married Nandini",she broke down completely.."But how come I didn't know about it?? ",Nidhi's mom asked in surprise.."Aunty, she didn't even confess her feelings to Kabir.. Before she could he married Nandini.. there was no point in telling you all these ,so she didn't say anything about it .Aunty, I know you are worried that Kabir will not love Nidhi back, but the day he knows how much Nidhi loves him , I am sure he will start loving her back.. because no one in this world can love him other than her..It may take time for Kabir to accept Nidhi, but when he accepts her our Nidhi will be on cloud nine. Your blessings and support are much  needed for her now.. So please aunty, give her the farewell from your family with lots of love and blessings.".Nidhi's mom wiped her tears ,nodded her head and quickly changed her saree.. Sanjana even helped her.."Aunty you look amazing" ,Nidhi inherited your looks.. "silly girl, enough of praising me.. Is your friend ready??", She asked.."You will be surprised to see her, come along with me", she dragged Nidhi's mom to Nidhi's room..When Nidhi's mom saw Nidhi she was dumbstruck.. it's every mom's dream to see her daughter as a bride..Nidhi's mom's eyes were filled with tears of joy when she saw  her..She walked towards Nidhi, hugged her and said," I hope you get all the love and happiness you deserve my sweetheart"..Nidhi was surprised to see her mom hugging her, because this is the first time she spoke normally to her after her decision to marry Kabir..She looked towards Sanjana and murmured " thank you "..She knew it was Sanjana who had influenced her mom…"Sanjana you are not ready yet, go quickly get ready beta , we will leave to the wedding hall.. ",Nidhi's mom saidSanjana nodded and wore beige colour lehenga choli and applied light make up.. They  soon reached the wedding hall.. Sanjana  and Nidhi walked towards the room allocated to the bride..Sanjana saw a lady entering into the room, she came near Nidhi with  pleasant smile appeared on her lips.She kissed on her forehead and said," My daughter-in-law is really beautiful.. *****Sanjana's POVShe looked at me and asked who I am??"Aunty, this is Sanjana , my best friend.",. Nidhi introduced me.The lady greeted me with a smile."I am not aunty anymore, call me mom from now on.." she said.I then realised she must be Kabir's mom.. "I will go greet guests", She said and left  the room..Looks like your mother-in-law likes you  Nidhi.Nidhi smiled and said," hmmm."I saw a small girl wearing a beautiful red frock with  two pigtails entering the room with  a lady who might be her nanny following  her.As soon as she saw Nidhi, she ran towards her and gave her two hands asking her to lift her.Nidhi smiled , lifted the girl and kissed on her cheek..the cute girl kissed her in return.. "Mam, Avani cried for you, so I have to bring her here.. ",nanny spoke"It's ok.. ",Nidhi repliedLittle Avani cuddled in Nidhi's arms..I realized the cute girl is Kabir's daughter..I walked near and said, " Hi Avani, my name is Sanjana,I   like chocolates do you??Avani's face lit up when she heard chocolate.. I have a lot of chocolates in my bag, will you be my friend??She nodded as "yes"I took out a chocolate from my handbag and gave it to her..She took it and I kissed on her cheek..She is really cute and adorable. Nidhi's mom came inside and said," Nidhi priest is calling you, let's go to the stage..Nidhi gave Avani to the nanny and I took her onto the stage..I saw Kabir standing without any expressions on his face.My stomach lurched when I saw him.. I was worried about Nidhi..She looked at me and gave an assurance with her eyes that everything will be alright..I sighed and left the stage and found a corner seat to see the wedding rituals..'`Hey Sanjana", I heard someone calling my name..when I turned my head I saw the man I met in the hotel room the other day..I remembered that he is Sanjay.He walked towards me and said,``What a surprise! How come you are here??"I smiled out of courtesy and said," oh!! Hi, Nidhi is my best friend""Oh!!! and Kabir is mine" he replied..So what do you do?? He initiated the talk ." I am a jewellery designer..", I replied..Oh wow!! if you don't mind I have an offer for you I am searching for a designer , You can work for my company""Actually, I work for Mehta's, so I can't join yours and thank you for the offer.." I replied earnestly.."It's ok miss Sanjana, if you  change  your mind, you can join us, this is my card"I took the card from him out of cordiality..I didn't sense any danger from him, he was talking to me politely and friendly. so I spoke to him a little friendly..Soon the Wedding rituals ended and Everyone started wishing the couple and then dispersed towards the dining area.."Miss Sanjana, shall we go and meet them" , he said..I nodded and we both walked towards the stage to congratulate the couple and later on had lunch together..When I was booking a taxi, he said," I will drop you..""oh!! it's fine, thank you.. I already booked a  cab.. "I waved a bye to him  and left the hall..********"Thank you all for your love and support..Keep commenting as your comments inspire and bring confidence in me ..********
