Chapter 82: chapter 82

Soon it was the Naming ceremony day of Sanjana and Aaditya's son..The hotel stage  backdrop  was  covered with blue and white drapes with  a series of led lights  on the sides.. and gerbera flower bunches in the middle.. and the cradle was decorated with  flowers and balloons...Sanjana and Aditya stood on the stage with their little one in their arms and the photographer  was taking pics of them in different poses..Guests started arriving slowly and were admiring the beautiful couple on the stage..Nidhi's car was sent to servicing so she decided to book a cab and arrived at the entrance of the hotel.. She got down from the car and saw Kabir coming from the other end..She was surprised to see Kabir here ,she didn't know Aditya had made friends with him..Kabir looked at her beautiful face and a smile appeared on his lips..he knew he would see her here but didn't expect to see so soon at the entrance..He walked towards her and said " Hello"..Out of courtesy Nidhi gave a faint smile and greeted him.. Both of them walked towards the lift as they were going to the same hall which is on the 10th floor..Seeing a few more people  entering along with them, Nidhi took a sigh of relief.. The lift stopped at the fifth floor and all the people in the lift got down as they had come to attend another event in the hall present on this floor..Nidhi's heart was thumping faster, she could feel his gaze on her..but she didn't look at him.. it took merely 10 seconds to reach but Nidhi felt like ages..She quickly walked out of the lift and walked towards the stage to meet Sanjana and Aditya..Kabir sighed when he saw her running away from him.. Aditya saw Kabir  from the  stage and waved his hand to  greet him..Kabir smiled and sat at  an empty table..Soon the ceremony started and the priest started chanting mantras and finally the little one   was made to sleep in the cradle and was named as Anish Mehta..Guests were walking towards the stage to congratulate the couple and to  bless the little one..Nidhi was standing on the stage closer to the backdrop looking uncomfortable.. Kabir noticed it and walked towards her ,stood beside her and asked, " is everything okay?? Why do you look  so pale?"Nidhi felt like she had seen a saviour when she saw him..at that second she completely forgot she was giving silent treatment to him.." Kabir ,looks like my dress zip is coming down", there were tears in her eyes..He put his arm around her waist and when no one was observing he pulled the zip upwards.. His fingertips touched her skin and made her blush.. But she managed to hide it and said,'' Thank you"..Kabir nodded with a smile and walked towards Sanjana and Aditya to congratulate the couple and  to see the little one.." Thank you for accepting our invitation Kabir", Sanjana said..Kabir nodded with a smile and looked towards Nidhi..Sanjana understood that one of the  reasons he is here is Nidhi..With a smile on her lips , she looked towards Nidhi and said, " Hey Nidhi, what happened, why are you standing there?? come here."Nidhi glared at Sanju but Sanju ignored her and called her once again..With no option left, Nidhi walked towards them. and Sanjana managed to make them stand side by side for a photo along with them.As Aditya couldn't greet Kabir properly he was talking to him and soon little Anish started crying..Rekha( Sanju's mother ) came forward and said," Anish must be hungry, it's been more than 2 hours, go feed him Sanju"Sanjana nodded and took Anish in her arms and signalled Nidhi to follow her to the hotel room which was booked earlier. Sanjana sat on a bed and started feeding the little Anish and Nidhi sat beside her ..Nidhi felt so happy to see her friend enjoying motherhood. " will I get a moment in my life .. can I  take my baby in my arms and breastfeed him/her".. Sanju snapped her fingers to bring Nidhi back into senses.." Where are you lost?? thinking will you  get this moment hmmm??"Nidhi looked at Sanjana with shock.. how does she know it?You might be thinking how I knew it right?? Sanjana smiled. " Nidhi I am your best friend I can read your face and your heart too.. for every woman motherhood is a beautiful moment and being a married woman why are you depriving yourself from this hmmm???"don't talk rubbish Sanju , don't you know how he behaved with me one year back??" Yes I knew how he behaved last year and how he is behaving now..I can feel love in his eyes for you.. give him a chance Nidhi""No Sanju," I have decided to move on.."Oh!  really then why didn't you sign divorce papers when uncle asked you to ?? because you knew once you sign it, uncle will ask you for a second marriage and you cannot accept anyone other than him..I know, he is the only one in your heart and you can't deny it..Sanjana took Nidhi's hand in hers and said, " you waited so long for him to love you back  and when he has finally realised it why are you going away from him?? give him a chance Nidhi"Their conversation was interrupted with a knock on the door, it was Mamta.." Did he sleep??".. " Yes mom, he did"ok, give him to me.. you go downstairs ,guests are leaving.. Sanjana nodded and walked out with Nidhi..
