Chapter 55: chapter 55

Sanjana's POVHis kiss on my forehead  melted me,I understood I cannot be angry with him for a long time..I got down from the car reluctantly..When I reached my room, I was all smiles.. The thought of being with him forever made me blush.I remembered calling Nidhi.. I should even inform her about my wedding with Aditya.She picked up my call for two rings."Hey Nidhi!!!, what's up?? ""Nothing Sanjana,  just preparing for the CAT exam..""Oh!! Nice Nidhi.. all the best.."She replied "thanks.."Can we meet tomorrow?? I asked..She replied "ok.."******Next day,we met at our regular coffee shop..when I saw Nidhi, I felt like the bright  bubbly girl I knew was nowhere to be seen..She looked dull.. we sat at the table  and I sat beside her..I took her hand in mine and asked, " Nidhi, is everything alright between you and Kabir??  don't try to hide anything from me"I saw her hiding her emotions. she said, " I am alright Sanjana""I know it's not alright Nidhi, I can read your face.. don't try to act in front of me, I am not going to give you any Oscar.."She smiled but remained silent.."How far has your relationship with Kabir developed??"" We are still friends , I am ok with it, but the way he compares me with Nandini breaks me.. I don't want to be compared , I want him to love me as Nidhi". she sighed..She continued, " He says there are many similarities between me and Nandini, he is trying to find Nandini in me Sanjana".."It's better he doesn't talk to me rather than comparing me with his ex-wife..I knew I chose this path, so I decided to suffer . I will wait for him for the day, he completely accepts me as Nidhi.." She poured her heart out..I didn't understand what to say, I just hugged her and she felt better after that..I know she can't tell  her grievances to her parents, because they will taunt her saying, " it was your decision, so   bear the consequences"..I  wanted her to speak  to me, so that she would be a little relieved..We both sighed and I said, " You are best Nidhi, Kabir can't go away and neglect you for long.. There will be a day he will come to you begging for your love.. " She took a deep breath and said, " I hope the day comes soon in my life..Mom and dad are worried about me.. if I can gain Kabir's love they will be happy"..I assured her the day will come soon in your life.."By the  way, I came to know that Kabir went to Australia. Why didn't you go with him??"I asked.."I don't want to cling  to him, he didn't ask me to go along with him.. So I decided not to ask him.. I know my relationship with him is slow, but I want it to be steady.. . I can't force him to love me.so I decided I will go with the flow…""I totally agree with you Nidhi, anything can be forced ,but love  cannot be.." ,I said.I saw her lost in her thoughts.. I snapped my fingers at  her and said, " Nidhi I have something to tell you which will cheer up your mood""Don't tell me you are pregnant??", She smiled.."Shut up Nidhi", I roared.."Ok ok tell me", she said, trying to hide her smile .I felt happy  seeing her smiling.."Nidhi, Actually me and Aditya are getting married", I revealed the news..Her eyes grew big, she was totally astonished when she heard me and after a few seconds she smiled with excitement.."Seriously Sanju, how and when did this happen??"I told her everything that happened on the day, when Meera aunty and Mamta aunty came to our house..She was very happy and hugged me saying," Congratulations Sanjana"...I just can't express in my  words how happy I am now for you.." She was delighted to hear the news."So when are  you starting  your shopping??", she asked.."If you agree, from today",I said..Soon days passed and I got completely busy with my marriage arrangements..I spoke to Aditya yesterday and he said, he will be landing tonight..I will become Mrs. Sanjana Aditya Mehta a few days from now..From tomorrow pre wedding rituals like haldi( applying turmeric to bride and groom) and Mehendi function will start..My house was filled with my relatives and their children..It was like a complete festive environment in the house .Older aunties were giving suggestions on how to tie husbands to your saree..and one aunty said, " Aditya is  already head over heels on her, we need not to tell her anything, she had already tied him to her dupatta".I felt bad when I heard her, but later realised she is jealous that I am getting married to the most eligible bachelor..it's common.. I thought to myself..Soon it was Mehendi function day and  the parlour lady neatly printed Aditya's name in the middle of the design..Seeing his name on the palms of my hand, I blushed.. In the night when everyone slept , I couldn't sleep, because it's a big day for me  tomorrow.. I stood in the balcony feeling the fresh air and thought by tomorrow evening I will be entering his house with a new title..I was lost in his thoughts, from the day how I met him and till today..it was all like a dream...When I was in my thoughts, I received a  call from Aditya..I immediately answered his call.."Hey, didn't sleep yet??", he asked ."What if I have slept?? you would have disturbed my sleep.. ",I pouted.."I was getting hiccups , so I thought you were missing me.""Why will I miss you??", I replied, trying to hide the smile.Then why didn't you sleep??"I was just thinking about".. he  cut me in the middle."thinking about becoming Mrs. Aditya right ".. he teased..I smirked and said," No, I am thinking about my house ,my room and my books.. that's it..""Oh really!! then I was wrong..""I think Ms. Olivia is thinking about me", he said..I was furious when I  heard him."who is this Ms. Olivia?? ",I asked him, No no I roared at him."I met her during my visit to the U.S last week.." ,she is Very cute girl.."it's morning now, so she might be missing my company.. oh !! Poor Olivia, I will call you.. ""Ok Sanjana bye.", He said. "How dare you  think about another girl, I will kill you..", I said.."To kill  me ,you have to open your door..",He chuckled.."Hmmm, you mean you are in front of my house.. ",I was surprised.. "Come down", he said..I ran towards the main door and opened it slowly so that I don't disturb others and especially mom.. When I came outside, I saw his car parked a little away from my house .I ran towards it and seeing me, he stepped out of the car...I was happy to see him after a long gap..I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly..I was missing him.He responded to my hug hugging me back.. I am much shorter to his height. He bent his head to kiss my head..I left his arms slowly and asked," Didn't you call your Ms.Olivia..?""I am getting married tomorrow and I don't want someone to kill me before marriage, '' he smiled .I chuckled and hit his arm playfully and he once again wrapped me in his arms..with tears  in my eyes , I warned.," if you think about another girl, I will kill you".."Hey ,I was just teasing you, relax sweetheart.. don't cry.. he kissed my eyes trying to control my foolish tears .He cupped my face and said, "you are and you will be the only girl in my life.. so just don't worry.. I am so much in love with you that I don't even like to see other girls how beautiful they are".. I smiled and said, " Stop flirting and tell  me ,why did you come so late at night".." To give you something, he said, and opened the car door and took out a bag "..I was wondering what it could be..He read my expression and said," The bridal necklace you designed for yourself for your wedding".."I was so happy to get married to you, that I forgot about this completely", I said, taking it from his hands. I opened it and saw the dazzling diamonds neatly fitted in the design..I felt delighted when I saw it, many eyes were on it on the day it was showcased , but Aditya saved it for me for our wedding day..I Looked at him with teary eyes and said, " thank you"..He kissed my forehead once again and said, " Go sleep, it's already late.. do you want to wake up late on your own wedding day"..He teased and I  was about to hit him playfully    on his chest  , he grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards him and his hands were on my waist..our lips were just a few centimetres away.. and his eyes were set on my lips..I felt butterflies in my stomach, I know what will happen next.. so I pushed him back  and said with a smile  ," you have to wait for this" and ran towards my house..Before entering  the house, I looked back at him, he stood at the same spot smiling at me..I waved him bye and ran towards my room..
