CHAPTER-14

This is my first attempt at writing an update of my ff around a song... Hope you like it... So here it is...

Sajan Ghar Aana Tha,
Sajan Ghar Aaye Hain...
Piya Mann Bhaana Tha
Piya Mann Bhaaye Hain...

It was a week later, when Nidhi stood on the doorstep of her home, The Mathur Mansion, at Lucknow, with her little baby Aishaani in her arms, Ashu standing right beside her... Her Mother-in-law did a small Aarti of both the mother and daughter, to welcome them back home...

Right after entering in, standing in the hall , Nidhi looked around the entire hall, taking in back the sight of her home, that she left with a heavy heart, for the betterment of her family... Although, she held no regrets to leave a Mansion and living in a cottage, both were her homes, but, what she missed was her family... These joyful laughters, those hearty unions, those animated quarrels, those teasing banters... This was what; she had missed all the past few months... Although, all the family members have more that made up for the lonliness in these past few weeks, yet, it was a Joyful Home-coming...

Ashutosh looked at his Nidhi, holding their baby in her arms, taking in the look of their home... Ashutosh's heart filled up with all the love he had, for this woman... The love in her eyes for their home, and family members, overwhelmed him... He and his family surely have done something good in their lives, to have her, as the integral member of the family... Ashutosh wound his arm around Nidhi's shoulder, giving her a side hug, subtly saying, he understands what she feels...

Rohan came to them, and said-

Ro: Aap dono continue kijiye, mujhe meri Aishaani ko de dijiye...

And Rohan left, taking the baby with him, and lovingly nudging his nose on her cheek, earning her soft gurgle...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Har Khushi Hai Ab Tumhari
Mujhe De Do Gum
Jaaneman Jaaneman

After Rohan took the baby, Nidhi sat with the family... All together, again as they were some months back, Happy and loving... Oh! How she loved seeing them together... Nidhi could see, that vibrant smile on Ashutosh's face... She has really respected him as the man he is... The pain he had, leaving his family, taking her along, was palpable for her to see, as his soulmate, yet, he never said or regretted his decision infront of her... Only to stay strong for her, to be able to support her in her period of pregnancy, where she needed a partner, to look after her... So much he had given to her, not complaining a word... Whether she would say it or not to him, yet, she was really thankful to him, for his unconditional love and care, all throughout... Now, Nidhi's eyes only wanted his life to be filled with all the love and happiness in the world, no matter, if, it needs her to deal with any problem... She just wanted her husband, her family to be happy and smiling, like this... She made a promise to herself, that, she won't let anymore troubles come to these people she loved, specially, her Husband, Ashutosh...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sajan Ghar Aana Tha
Sajan Ghar Aaye Tum
Piya Mann Bhana Tha
Piya Mann Bhaaye Tum
Har Khushi Hai Ab Tumhari
Mujhe De Do Gam

Jaaneman Jaaneman

While sitting there in the hall, with the family where Nidhi's eyes were promising Love for Ashutosh, Ashutosh's eyes too brimmed with love for her... This lady has given so much to this family... A loving daughter to his parents, what they always longed for... A generous sister to his brothers, that gave, never to ask a return, A doting friend to Rohan, whom he would run around all day, and Now, a MOTHER to their beautiful daughter...

Ashutosh wondered how much love these females hold for all in their family... Seeing his mother, he used to be amased, and now, Nidhi, fulfilling each of her roles, the best she could give... And what she had received from life? A lonely period of pregnancy, when she needed a family... A mother specially, to share, what she feels, what she wants from a mother... Those silent tears that dropped from her eyes remembering her families, in Rampur used to wrench his heart too...

But now, he vowed, come what may, he would bring as much happiness, as he could on this lovely lady of his... Giving a new beginning...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zindagi Mein Aaye Tum Chaahaton Ke Raste
Kaash Yeh Raste Sanam Kat Jaaye Haste Haste

All had, had their dinner, and so, Anu made sure Nidhi takes rest, while the baby too needed her mother, so Ashutosh and Nidhi, returned to their room, Their room, that was kept vacated, as they left, few months back... Only, it has been cleaned and put up in place, as well as few things added to make it the baby-friendly room too... Nidhi did not want to have a separate Nursery for her baby at that moment, and thus, Baby's cradle, her small belongings, baby toys, all had been arranged in their room itself, making it as perfect as it could to all the three of them...

Nidhi quickly freshen up and changed into her night gown... After feeding and putting a sleeping Aishaani in her cradle, Nidhi too went to retire... After so many days, they laid on their bed in their room... Ashutosh spread his arm for her to put her head in... Nidhi immediately adjusted herself in them, and snuggled close to him... Indeed, that is her heaven... No cozy beds can ever give her the sense of belonging, as his arms do... Nidhi lie, closing her eyes peacefully, but not sleeping... Ashutosh's eyes kept looking at the ceiling, thinking over something... and then turned towards Nidhi, wrapping his other arm around her waist, keeping her closer to himself...

A: Nidhi...(Asking Slowly if she is sleeping, he won't disturb her)

N: (Giving a small smile) Hmmm... Boliye...

A: Main soch raha tha, Inn 5 saalon mein, kitna kuch badal chuka hai... Usse pehle tak, shayad main tumhare liye Kotnis Hospital ka MD, aur ek chief Cardiologist hota, aur tum mere liye, ek Intern, ek Junior Doctor hoti tab... Phir kab hum ek dusre ko like karne lage... Aur kab pyaar kar baithe, pata hi nahi chala... Tumko iss ghar mein jab 3.5 years pehle, yahan apni patni ke roop mein laaya, tab tak main sirf ek samajhdaar beta, aur tum ek honhaar beti hi thi... Phir, kab humne apni-apni families ko Humari family bana liya, pata hi nahi chala...

Shaadi, pyaar, inn sab ke beech hum apni choti-choti zimmedaariyon se uth kar kab, ghar ki zimmedariyaan uthaane lage, sach mein kabhi realise hi nahi kiya... Kehne ke liye, hum apne-apne ghar ke bade bachhe they, lekin phir bhi, aisa lagta hai, jaise hum iss 3.5 years mein bade hue hain... Aur aaj dekho Nidhi, pyaar ke raaston mein chalte-chalte, kab hum beta-beti, bhai-behen, daamaad-bahu, aur pati-patni banne ke baad, aaj Parents ban gaye... Kisi sapne se kam nahi hai Aishaani ko apni baahon mein lena... Meri nanhi si pari bhi aa gayi... (Planting a kiss on Nidhi's forehead) Nidhi, for this I can never thank you enough...Really...

Nidhi, shook her head immediately... and took his hand in hers, entwining her fingers with his...

N: Aishaani kya akeli meri beti hai? Aapki bhi toh utni hi beti hai na... Then how come can I be thanked alone... I'm thankful to you too Ashuji... We've grown over these paths, but, the best thing is we were never alone, since we fell in love, I had you and you had me, and we had our families...

Ashuji, inn raaston par jabse chale hain, sab kuch achha raha, siwaaye ke, jo Dr. Mallika ke aane ke baad hua... But, wo bhi kitni achhi baat hai, ki itna sab hone ke baad bhi sab kuch waisa hi wapas se ho gaya... Na aapko gila, na Rohan ko shikwa... Aur kya chahiye...

Bas ab Ashuji, humare ghar ki khushiyaan aisi hi bani rahein, sab hanste muskuraate rahein... saath rahein, yahi koshish rahegi...

A: Bilkul Nidhi, we'll all try our level best... Chalo ab Nidhi, so jaao, tum already bohot tired ho, and then this lil one, kuch deir mein phir uth jaayegi...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sone Dildara Tere Pyar To Main Vaariyaan
Meri Ya Duaawa Tainu Lag Jaave Saariyaan

The next morning, Nidhi after bathing, looked at Ashutosh, who was sleeping soundly. Last night, Aishaani had wakened up several times for the feed, making Nidhi stay awake. After the initial times in the previous days, Ashutosh was a quick learner to see, how Nidhi had burped her, and had helped Nidhi making her have some sleep, while he settles the baby. And now, the present, he is just making up with the sleep, while Nidhi seems fresh, with considerable sleep, to carry her along for the day. Nidhi couldn't help smiling at his loving and caring gestures for her... Now it is her turn to make things as easy as she could for him. She looked at her little baby, who was sleeping equally sound like her father in her cradle. Not only had the baby adjusting in a new environment, this was new for Nidhi too, but being a mother for a week, she was getting used to her baby's sensitive schedule, that says, she is about to open her mouth, and give a loud cry, any minute. Nidhi knowing, it would disturb Ashutosh's sleep, quietly picked her baby up, with her little belongings, and went down the stairs, so that, she can do the rest of the things and pacify the baby, without disturbing him.

Reaching down, Nidhi saw Maa coming out of the mandir of the house, after lighting up the diya, So Nidhi thought to go along with her in the kitchen to help her some bit, when Rohan, who was up right in the morning stood infront of her..

Ro: Bhabhi Aishani ko mujhe de dijiye...Aap jaiye kitchen mein.

N(Smiling): Thanks Rohan... Will be back... And agar ye rone lag jaaye, toh call me, she won't be pacified at that moment...

Ro: Alright bhabhi...

Nidhi went in to the kitchen, to join her mother-in-law, soon joined by Anji, and started preparing for tea and breakfast. Anu dragged a chair inside and made Nidhi sit...

Anu: Aaraam se baitho, we'll do it, tum toh baatein karo mere saath...

Not much later, did Nidhi hear the little "Ooo..." from outside, that made clear, that her baby was up, and is about to give some loud shrieks... Nidhi looked at her MIL, who gestured her to go. Nidhi shook her head in a yes and rushed out to see, a beautiful sight... Alok Mathur, the baby's grand father, was holding the baby, and walking up and down the hall, trying his best to pacify her, so that to postpone her crying anyhow, till Nidhi could finish her work, in the meanwhile Rohan moving along his father suggesting him some way or the other to keep the baby entertained. Nidhi smiled seeing them, and asked baba to give the baby to her. Taking the baby along, Nidhi went to feed the baby, as well change and clean her. Later that morning, all were sitting, sipping tea, when Nidhi whispered to Ashutosh, audible to him-

N: Ashuji, aapko aisa nahi lagta, ki Ranga aur Anji ki aapas mein baat nahi ho rahi hai?

A: Hmmm... Lagta toh hai, lekin Nidhi, humein interfere nahi karna chahiye. Unke issue,unhe hi suljhaane chahiye. Hui hogi koi nok-jhok...

N: Hmmm... Ho sakta hai...

Till then Ranga also came and sat, for the tea, when Anji came and asked-

An: Chai lenge ki coffee?

Ranga gave no response, but looked everywhere but at Anji... To this Alok Mathur said in a stern voice-

BB: Ranga, Anji kuch pooch rahi hai na tumse... Jawaab kyu nahi dete?

Ranga didn't say anything, but turned to look towards Nidhi and said-

Ra: Bhabhi, coffee please...

Nidhi immediately poured some coffee out of the kettle and gave to him... But, she could see the tension between both of them... She looked at Ashutosh with pleading eyes, and he shrugged his shoulders as in, I do not know... You do, what you think is right.

When everybody left the table, ignoring the tense environment to be solved by the couple, Nidhi saw, Ranga and Anji leaving each other's company and walking in different directions, Nidhi grabbed Anji's hand and made her sit on the chair of the dining table and taking an adjacent chair to her, sat down, putting her hand on Anji's.

Ni: Kya baat hai Anji? Tum aur Ranga... What's wrong?

An: kuch nahi di... Aap rehne dijiye...

Ni: Dekho Anji, agar tum dono apne issues khud resolve kar rahe hote, toh main bilkul nahi bolti, lekin, I'm observing, tum dono Rampur se hi kuch roothe-roothe ho... Baat kya hai? Koi pareshaani?

An: Kuch nahi di... Ranga na, mujhe samajhte hi nahi. Meri feelings, meri ichha koi maaine nahi rakhti...

Ni: Aisa thodi na hai... But baat kya hui?

An: Di, aapko toh pata hai na, Aaj mummy-papa ki 29^th Wedding Anniversary hai... Aur iss din main apna saara din mummy-papa ke saath spend karti thi... Ab Ranga, agree nahi kar rahe... Unko apne friend ki birthday bash mein mujhe le jaana hai... Bas isliye, hum dono ek dusre se naraz hain.

Ni: Anji, meri ek baat samjho, hum bohot try karte hain, ki shadi ke baad kuch zyada na badle humari life mein. Hum jaise they sab kuch waisa hi rahe. Lekin,ye humesha possible nahi hota. You are trying to be just a daughter, but another truth is, you are a wife too. Iss rishte ko bhi toh nibhaana tumhara farz hai. Sara din mummy-papa ke saath spend karne ke bajaaye, kuch waqt spend kar logi toh nothing is going to variate much... Tum samajh rahi ho na?

An(Grumpily): Hmmm...

Ni: Achha yahi ruko do minute, I'll come soon...

Nidhi went to Ranga's room, and gave a soft knock on the door, on his yes she came inside, and saw another grumpy face...

N: Ranga, main kuch baat kar sakti hoon tumse?

R: Ji bhabhi. Boliye...

N(Sitting on a couch infront of him): Ranga, main jaanti hoon, that why you are angry on each other. But, Ranga,ek ladki ke nazariye se dekhne ki koshish karo. Don't you think, changing her priorities and habits completely, is somewhere unfair?

Ranga looked at Nidhi with eyes that said she's being partial. Nidhi immediately stood up and clarified-

N: Ranga, ye mat sochna, ki Anji ki didi tumse ye baat karne aayi hain, ya tumhe convince karne ki koshish kar rahi hain... but, tumhari bhabhi tumse ye baat kar rahi hain, jo dono sides ki baat ko samjh rahi hai. Ranga, staying in the birthday bash for the entire day, and not keeping your wife's wishes, do you think its fair?

R: Bhabhi, maine usko pehle hi poocha tha, and she agreed, that's why, we made a plan at the outskirts of Lucknow. Ab kaisa lagega, agar hum wahan nahin jaaye...

N: Ranga, who said, that you shouldn't go? Jaao, bilkul jaao, Anji ko bhi saath leke jaao. Enjoy, have your time, but make sure, you take her to her parents house, for well enough time, so that she too can have, what she has done all her life. Nahi?

R: You are right bhabhi. I'm sorry, maine ego mein ye sab toh socha hi nahi...

N: Chalo koi baat nahi. Baahar Anji baithi hui hai, go and reconcile. And haan yaad rakhna, there is always a middle solution to every quarrel; only we have to think about that.

Nidhi came out of the room, and went to Maa-baba's room, while Ranga,and Anji made up on the dining table, and there, Ashutosh, who stood on the stairs watched his Lady Love, spreading love among all at home.

There Nidhi, came out of the room carrying medicines for Baba, and gave him, after breakfast, while making sure of maa's needs too... Ashutosh felt elated seeing Nidhi taking care of everyone at home, at night his daughter, from the morning running behind everyone, taking care of his baby, to his brothers, Anji, and his parents too... He was so proud to have her as his wife... A complete woman in herself, loving, caring and full of happiness.

Sometime later, Nidhi climbed up the stairs taking Aishani in her arms, found Ashutosh struggling with his things, finding the things, where Nidhi kept all... Again the room looked a mess with the unpacking.

N: Ashuji, kya dhoondh rahe hain aap?

A: Arrey Nidhi, I can't find my socks. Now I'm going to arrange the room on my own, kab tak tumko pareshaan karoonga.

N: Uffo! Ashuji, aap bhi na, you should have called me. Aur waise bhi, main aa hi rahi thi, aapke kapde nikaalne. Sorry, thodi late ho gayi.

Ashutosh turned towards her, and put his hands on her shoulders.

A: Nahi Nidhi... Tum kitna kaam karogi? Din bhar sabke peeche daudti rehti ho, phir, main bhi apna kaam tumpe thop doon... No-no... Its not good.

Nidhi tilted her head a little sideways looking at him with admiration and then said-

N: Ashuji, jitna main kar sakti hoon, utna toh I can do. And please, aapke liye jo bhi main karti hoon, koi bojh thodi na hai. Mujhe achha lagta hai isliye karti hoon.

Then she went through an open suitcase, and brought a pair of socks that he needed. Hmmm... Ye lijiye... (Ashutosh was about to turn, when Nidhi held Ashu's arm with her left hand while she held Aishaani in her

Right arm) Aur suniye, Ashuji, I might be getting busy with the new responsibilities at hand, but, do never forget, that I have always kept your place and position intact. That would not change however busy I get... ok?

Ashutosh nodded his head, and cupped her face in his palms, and kissed her forehead...

A: I know it jaan...

------------------------------------------------------------------

Some days later, when Ashutosh returned from the hospital at the evening, Nidhi seemed not to be there in the hall, climbing up the stairs to his room, he found Nidhi sleeping on the bed, with Aishaani sleeping next to her. Nidhi had kept a soft hand over Aishaani, so that she can stay alert, whenever she wakes up.

Ashutosh loosen up his tie, folded his sleeves up, and went into the washroom first, and after freshening up, he went and very quietly laid down on the bed, without disturbing both the mother and daughter, next to his baby. He first looked at his baby, a mixture of him and Nidhi, cuteness personified. He touched her cheeks with the back of his fingers, very softly, not to disturb her baby sleep, and then pecked her rosy cheek, very softly.

And then looked at his love, his life, Nidhi. A lady that personifies love in all aspects. Thoughts of the previous few days, since he and Nidhi had returned home with Aishaani, ran into his mind. Nidhi had been caring for one and all, at home. Giving and spreading love among all.

Ashutosh kept thinking and talking to himself in mind- "Nidhi, I do not know, what good have I done to have you in my life. But whatever it is, main shaayad bata bhi nahi sakta, main khud ko kitna khushkismat manta hoon, jo tum jaisi patni mujhe mili... Nidhi,I feel so proud to be your husband, who has not only loved me, but my entire family. And your, this very nature, teaches me more and more the beautiful lessons of life... I shall always pray, ki Bhagwaan tumhe kar khushi de, jiski tum haqdaar ho, tumhe koi gham, pareshaani, choone bhi na paaye... Nidhi, I'm blessed to have you as my wife, and I love you from all my heart.

Ashutosh, too, did not realise, when he also drifted into a nap, with a beautiful smile playing on his lips, making his face shine all the more.

---------------------------------------------

Chaand Ho Tum Chaandni Se Bheega Jaaye Mann
Jaaneman Jaaneman

It has been 40 days since, Aishaani is born, and thus, on the suggestion by the elders of both the families, a grand Puja has been kept at the Mathur Mansion. The entire mansion is going abuzz with the preparations going along. Someone was running to have the flowers at the proper place, some running for the Ingredients for the Puja, someone wants to select their dresses, someone, busy for the Prasad. But, admist all this, the one person that was gaining everybody's attention was the baby girl of the house Aishaani. Since the day she was born, she is never left alone. A huge family is always there to take turns to take care. Sometimes the baby is found in the arms of her grand father, walking up and down the room, sometimes, her grandmother, keeps coming and have a talk or two with the baby in between her works, and the other times, her Chahus and Maasi, loved having their time with the baby girl. And with utmost efforts, sometimes, Ashutosh would come and take his baby in his arms, having a heartful of satisfaction, holding his own child in his arms... As the guests have started to arrive, specially Nidhi's family, and all had piled around, Aishaani started to get irritable, and kept crying all the way long,till Nidhi came and took her in her arms...

Later, when the Puja was about to begin, Nidhi came out in a white and red saree, with red and golden borders, with the pallu in front, while, she carried her little baby in her arms. The winters were on their extremes, thus, Nidhi covered her baby in a yellow and white, baby frock and woollen pants, and matching booties and woollen caps, covering the baby away from any cold. As soon as the puja started, Nidhi put Aishaani up in her Parents-in-law's lap, to pray for the baby, and in the middle of the Puja, Ashutosh did the same, and put Aishaani in Nidhi's baba and Dadi's lap, asking the same from them... The love and awe filled Grand parents felt all the more speechless, to hold this little life up in their arms. How many a times have they picked this baby up, yet, the feelings and emotions that Ashutosh and Nidhi invoked in them rendered them full of emotions. Each of the four Grandparents had the same feelings. This little fruit of their family tree seemed so beautiful and sweet, that they failed to stop those happy tears coming in their eyes. It felt like, sitting under the sky in a full moon night taking up the moonlight in them. The shining pink face of the baby, looked more or less than the shining full moon in the sky, and the happy tears seem to be the moonlight of their hearts, that they felt, with the baby in their arms. None of them could resist kissing this little member of their families.

Finally, they looked up at Ashutosh and Nidhi, and uttered a silent thank you to them, for this wonderful gift of life.

The pandit finally concluded the puja, praying for the baby's good health, fortune and life. The little one looked all the more cute, with the little teeka of kum-kum on her forehead, with the combination of her yellow dress.

Finally, after the lunch the relatives started to leave, and quite later, the Vermas too, left, leaving the Mathurs to finally retire to their rooms after the function...

--------------------------------------------

Khwaabon Ke Iss Ghar Ki Khair Kariyo Rabba
Duur Kaleh Kalesh Aur Bair Kariyo Rabba
Naazo Se Badi Maine Kari Hain Tayyariyan
Din Raat Pyar Diyaan Nazra Utaariyan
Yeh Mohabbat Hai Ibaadat Kabhi Ho Na Kam
Jaaneman Jaaneman

It had been two months since Ashni had returned To Lucknow.Nidhi had asked her parents-in-law to keep a small Puja for the welfare of the house... As it could not have been done with the other functions in the past two months.There Nidhi sat,along with Anu and Anji, joining her hands before the good Lord, to take care of her Home and family.

Anu prayed silently- "Hey Bhagwaan, Maine jab iss ghar mein kadam rakha, har pal iss ghar ko pyaar aur dulaar diya. Bohot sambhaal ke rakha iss ghar ko... Bhagwaan please, mere ghar ko aur inn bachhon ki zindagi ko, saari buri nazaron se bacha ke rakhna... Ab koi buraayi, jhagde, ghum mere parivaar ko choone bhi na paaye... Unki raksha karna bhagwaan..."

While Nidhi too, didn't have any different prayers then her MIL, she too whole heartedly begged the lord to bless their home and its members its happiness and serenity...

She closed her eyes and said-

"Bhagwaan, maine jab se iss ghar se rishta joda, Ashuji ke saath-saath, iss parivaar ke har member se dil ko joda... Sabko pyaar diya, sabse pyaar liya... Har insaan ko jod ke rakha... par bhagwaan jo pichle maheeno humaare ghar hua, wo kisi agni pareeksha se kam nahi tha... Aur main aapki bohot aabhaari hoon, ki aapne humaare ghar ko wapas se jod diya, aur iss ghar ki muskaan lauta di...

Bhagwaan bas mujhe itni shakti dijiyega,ki main iss ghar ko wo hi pyaar, dulaar de sakoon, jo maine aaj tak diya, aur maa jaise iss ghar ki care karoon... Bhagwaan, mere ghar waalon ki, bade members ki, mere se chote logon ki, meri bachhi ki, sabki raksha karna... Sabko khushiyaan dena..."

Unknown to Nidhi herself, tears were seeping down here eyes, in gratitude and in the emotions of love that she had for her family... She never considered herself to be the best, but has always considered this family that she got after marriage to be the best... She had practically received much more than she gave to this family...

She looked around the house, she hardly got her baby to carry, except when she used to feed her, otherwise, every member of the family kept running around to hold little Aishaani in their arms... And in between none of them forgot to still take care of her and pamper her... Nidhi was gratified to have such a loving family...

-----------------------------------

Aa Aaghosh Mein Meri Zulf Sanwaroon Teri
Chahat Ke Rangon Se Main Maang Saja Doon Teri
Maahiya Ve Aaj Mainu Aaive Kyon Ve Lagda
Aashiq Je Sachha Hove Roop Honda Rab Da
Hum Yahaan Hai Tum Yahaan Ho Hone Do Milan
Jaanemann Jaanemann

It was the next morning at the Dining table when Anu reminded the family, about the party of a very close relative, at the evening. All agree to go together at the evening, and left for their respective works, while Nidhi still stayed back at home, as she felt Aishaani needs her, and shall join the hospital later, after a few months.

In the evening, Nidhi dressed Aishaani up first in some lighter woollens, as the winters have subsided a bit, and laid her back in cradle, where she gurgled to herself, alternatively putting her fist in her mouth, smiling to herself. Ashutosh smiled seeing his baby playing with herself. All in total, till now, she gave an impression of a happy-go-lucky baby, unless she is over-crowded by people, just like her mother, happy and charming...

Ashutosh had already dressed himself in a Royal blue sherwani, with a pair of white Dhoti pants. He was about to brush his hair, standing infront of the mirror, when Nidhi emerged in her Royal Blue net saree, with Silver motifs of Zardosi done on borders; stood infront of him, infront of the mirror. Ashutosh smiled looking at her, and back hugged her, and kept his chin on her right shoulder.

A: Kya baat hai, aaj toh aap mujhse matching-matching? hmmm...?

Nidhi blushed and smiled, and kept her hands over his, on her waist.

N: Ittefaaq... Isey ittefaaq kehte hain Ashuji...

A: Nidhi, pata hai tumhe, tum jab bhi, ye meri pasand ka, blue colour ki dresses pehenti ho na, you look so pretty, as if, my own angel has stepped into this world only for me, right from the heavens...

N: Achha ji... Thank you... Par ab Blue meri bhi pasand ho gayi hai, I too have loved this colour, since I have started loving you...

Ashutosh turned her around by her shoulders, so that, she can look into his eyes. She could see, love, pure love swimming up in his eyes, that held, love, tenderness, and awe in his eyes. Nidhi lifted her face up, as in asking- "Kya hua?"

A: Nidhi, you look very pretty as it is, yet, aaj main tumhe apne haathon se sajaana chahta hoon... can I?

Nidhi gratituously nodded her head in a soft yes.

Ashutosh immediately made her sit on the dressing stool, while, he picked up her jewellery one by one, putting them on her. Her long diamond and blue stone studded earrings, a small chain with a pendant with the similar work, as of her earrings. Then her bangles,putting them easily without hurting her. Those pretty ornaments perfectly beautiful, adding to her beauty. Then picked a Royal-blue and silver bindi and put it on her forehead, between both her eye brows. And finally picking the sindoor daani from the dressing table, he picked up a pinch of sindoor and applied it in her hair parting. Then took a step back and took a full look at his beautiful wife, and then holding her hands to make her stand, Ashutosh looked into her eyes, and then cupped her face, and kissed her forehead, very tenderly.

A: You look so beautiful Nidhi... totally breath taking...

Nidhi rested her head on his chest, while keeping one hand on his heart-

N: Thank you Ashuji... Thanks a lot... Ye aapki nazrein hain, jinhone mujhe khoobsurat bana diya, warna, main har aam ladki ki tarah hi thi... And thanks, for what you did few moments back. Ashuji, main sawar gayi, aapke pyaar se, aapni nazron se... Thank you...

Ashutosh hugged her back, with all the love and tenderness, putting a kiss on top of her head. They were brought out of their moment with Aishaani's another joyful gurgle.

A: Chalein?

N: Ji...

While Ashutosh picked up Aishaani in his arms, Nidhi quickly brushed her hair. And then walked up to the family to go to the party together.

PS: Next update: Something interesting happening in the party, bringing a new turn in the story.
