Chapter 42: chapter 42

Sanjana quickly came into the hall and saw Aditya talking to guests..She glared at him and Aditya didn't understand why she was angry, he signalled her with his eyes  "what?? "She nodded her head as nothing , walked towards her mom and sat beside her..When the ceremony came to an end, Sanjana and her mom returned home..She changed her dress and lay down on the bed thinking about how Aditya looked at her.. She blushed at the thought of Aditya almost kissing her...When she was in her thoughts she heard her mobile ring..She thought it might be from Aditya , but to her surprise it was from Nidhi..It's been a long time since Nidhi  called her... When Sanju  called , she used to say she was busy and would talk later.."Omg Nidhi !! Are you alive for real?? ", Sanjana asked..Hey sorry Sanju, I have a lot to talk to you .. are you at home?? Nidhi asked. "Sorry , I am very busy, and can't talk now," Sanjana was very angry with Nidhi.."Oh!! please Sanju darling, I am really sorry, please..""Your sorry is not accepted here", Sanjana replied. "Hey Sanju , I will explain everything to you darling, please give me a chance please, please.." ,Nidhi requested..Sanjana cannot be angry with Nidhi for longer, she is her best friend.."Ok, come home and serve me, then  I will think of talking to you", Sanju said."Love you sweetheart, I am coming", Nidhi shouted and disconnected the call..Sanjana heard a knock on the door and guessed it was Nidhi.. She came down , opened the door and saw Nidhi standing..She folded her hands ,pulled a long angry face and  looked  at Nidhi..She didn't invite her but Nidhi  took Sanjana's arm and walked inside the  house saying ," I am here to serve my master with ice cream".  Sanjana's heart melted when she heard about ice-cream.. She took ice-cream from Nidhi and said," I am impressed "..Nidhi smiled  and hugged Sanjana tightly," "I am sorry..""It's ok it's ok, tell me what it is?", Sanjana spoke normally..Hearing the commotion ,Rekha also came out.. "Hey Nidhi, I thought you forgot us completely..""No aunty, how can I ??  I am so sorry for not coming to meet you.."Sanjana saw a cover in Nidhi's hand, she signalled with her eyes," what is it??"Nidhi felt nervous, she  gulped her saliva and took out a wedding card out of it..Sanjana stood straight when she saw the card.. "Nidhi ,are you kidding me?? Are you getting married??"Nidhi nodded silently and gave the card to Rekha. Sanjana glared at Nidhi and said," and I will know it after wedding cards are printed Nidhi"..Sanjana was really disappointed this time.How can she not even bother to tell her that she is getting married...When Rekha saw the wedding card she felt happy that Nidhi is getting married.."Ignore Sanjana , god bless you bacha I am happy you are getting married.."Sanjana didn't even look at the wedding card and strode towards her room.. she was fuming with anger. "Looks like your friend is really hurt, go console her ", Rekha said to Nidhi..Nidhi took a long breath, nodded to Rekha and walked towards Sanjana's room..Sanjana angrily sat on the bed... Nidhi sat beside her and placed her hand on Sanjana's.. Sanjana immediately removed her hand, she didn't even look at Nidhi.. Nidhi stood up, hugged Sanjana from behind and said, " Sanjana I know you are angry, but give me a chance to explain things..Sanjana turned towards her,folded her hands and angrily said," Explain".."Sanjana, mom and dad were against the marriage and especially grandma made huge ruckus.I had to deal with them every day, I was really stressed out trying to explain things to them.."Sanjana's eyebrows creased when she heard her, " you mean to say, this is not the wedding uncle and aunty arranged for you??Nidhi nodded as "no..""What are you talking about Nidhi, who is he ??I never knew you loved anyone other than Kabir.." Sanjana asked in confusion.."You are right Sanju ,how can I love any one other than Kabir", Nidhi replied..Sanjana  was stunned ,she immediately took the wedding card from Nidhi's hand and opened it.  When she saw the groom's name she was dumbstruck.."Nidhi, are you mad?? Are you really getting married to Kabir??"Nidhi nodded her head in agreement.."Nidhi, are you gonna marry a man with a kid, have you lost it?""What's wrong  Sanjana.. I love him. I always dreamt of marrying him.. I don't care even if he has a kid.and moreover I like that kid a lot.. I am ready to accept him with the kid Sanju""Nidhi, Nidhi, why don't you understand?You know better than me how much he loved Nandini.. Do you think he will accept you in Nandini's place?Wait, did he agree to the wedding?? " Sanjana asked.."He didn't agree in the beginning ,but later his mother convinced saying him that Avani( Kabir's daughter) needs mom as she is a girl..""I knew it Nidhi, I am worried about you, what if he doesn't love you in return.. ?"I can see him daily Sanjana, I can be with him everyday, that is enough for me.. "Life will not run in that way Nidhi.. are you marrying to become a nanny for his daughter???"  Sanjana retorted.Nidhi took a deep breath and said, " Sanju I know you are worried about me, but believe me , I will make him love  me back  one day..""I don't understand how did uncle and aunty agree to this wedding??""They didn't in the beginning, because of the pressure I put on them, they agreed reluctantly..I know you all are worried about me, but trust me Sanjana, he is the only one I will be happy with.."Sanjana sighed , took Nidhi's hand in hers and said," Nidhi ,you are the best girl I have met , I know how soft hearted you are , I want  you to be happy for your whole life , that's it Nidhi.. don't take me wrong.  I am  not against this wedding, I am just  scared  of your future , if he doesn't accept you".. She had tears in her eyes. Saying so  she hugged Nidhi and said" I hope you receive the love you deserve from Kabir ""Thank you Sanju.. " Nidhi took a sigh of relief.."When is the wedding??", Sanjana asked."Next week.. ", Nidhi replied..Sanjana smiled and hugged Nidhi once again and congratulated her..I have a lot of shopping to do, so darling can you please accompany me? Nidhi asked Sanjana..."Of course , just tell me the time and place I will come..",Sanjana replied..
