RECEPTION

It was 6’O clock in the evening, Ruhi was sitting in her room before the mirror , getting ready for the party , two stylists were doing her makeup and hair style when Raavi barged into her room.

“Tu ab Tak ready Nhi hui” Ahe asked.

Ruhi didn’t reply her, she was just staring at her through the mirror, her eyes were showing pure anger . Raavi recognised her red eyes “ Sorry Yaar, ab maaf Bhi kar de.” She said.

“ why ?? Why should I forgive you??” Ruhi said in her angry voice.

“ Yaar, mai Maj boor thi. Kya Krit, Anurag ki identity ki wajah se mai Apna relationship reveal ni kr akti thi or Aahan ko to tu jaanti hi Hai ki wo Kitna dominating Hai, use Jo chahiye wo Hasil kar hi Leta Hai, by hook or by crook, isliye hame uski baat Manni Padi” Raavi said .

“ Still, I’m  your best friend Raavi , Tujhe chupana Nhi chahiye tha” Ruhi said.

“ Look who’s  talking about hiding things. Don’t  forget that you also hid Aahan’s  secret from me. Both of you knew everything but didn’t  include me in your secret. Agar mujhe bta diya hota to ye Nau bah Nhi aati Aaj” Raavi said getting angry.

“ Ok Ok, I’m  sorry too. I should have told you. Now leave all these things, and I’m  so happy for you, you Raavi Singhania is married to the love of your life.” Ruhi said hugging Raavi.

“ Thank you so much. And yeah, Its Mrs. Raavi Anurag Kapoor now.” Raavi said hugging her back.

“Oye hoye, lagta Hai aap dono ki dosti firse Ho Gayi” Anurag said entering in the room.

Ruhi was feeling a little shy looking at Anurag. Her gaze shifted downwards.

“ Anurag, you were supposed to be downstairs with Aahan, what are you doing here.” Raavi asked Anurag , keeping both her hands in her waist.

“ I came to meet my Bhabhi” he said looking at Ruhi.

Ruhi looked at Anurag with surprise This man was my husband to be till tomorrow ,and now he’s  calling me Bhabhi, Itni frankly kaise bol Sakta Hai ye. She thought.

“ I’m  sorry Ruhi. I had no option, Aahna is my best friend and he wanted to marry you, so I helped her” Anurag said .

Ruhi nodded. “ Its ok Anurag ji, I understand.” She said.

“ Anurag ji… Oh please, just call me Anurag “ He said .

“ Ruhi , Aahan is not a bad person. He is always happy and a changer person around you. And I’m  sure he’ll  keep you always happy. Please give a chance to your relationship. I’m  sure he’ll  Never disappoint you.”

They were talking when Nikita entered her room. She stood in front of her and put a Kaala teeka behind her ear . “ Hayee… meri devrani ko Kisi ki Nazar na Lage” She said “ Aaj to Aahan behosh hi Ho jyga tum he dekh kar” she continued.

Anurag and Raavi chuckled at her last sentence and Ruhi’s  lips curled up in a smile .

“ Now let’s  go, everyone is waiting for you in the party. Anurag you go first, I’ll  bring Ruhi and Raavi” Nikita said.

“ Ok Bhabhi” Anurag left the room.

He was searching for Aahan in the party hall and found him talking to some business partners and went to him.

“ You came” Aahan asked.

“ Ab saamne khada Hun to Bhi puch Rha” Anurag said.

“ where’s  Raavi?” Aahan asked again.

“ She’s  coming with Ruhi” Anurag replied.

On his response , Aahan raised his eyebrow and asked him “ You went to meet Ruhi.. before me”

“ Kyun, Tujhe Jalan Ho rhi Hai Kya” Anurag said hitting him with is elbow.

Aahan gave him a side eye look .

“ sorry” Anurag said his Smile vanished  seeing Aahan’s  face .

“ Ab mujhe hi dekhta rahega Kya, saamne dekh, Ruhi aa Gayi Hai” Anurag said, indicating towards the direction from where Ruhi was coming.

Aahan looked at the direction where Anurag was pointing, it was like he lost his senses , his eyes tracing her from head to toe. She was wearing an off white saree with golden embroidery on it , paired with red embroidered blouse. Red Chura, Nuptial on neck and big diamond earrings were only jewellery she was wearing. Hair tied in a bun and vermillion in forehead, thick kajal on eyes and nude pink lipstick. She appeared exceptionally beautiful today.

“ Hayee….. meri biwi” Aahan said.

Unknowingly, he started walking towards her. “ Simple yet elegant “ he said directly looking at her eyes. Ruhi looked and him and said “ Thanks”.

He forwarded his hand before her and she held her hand. Both of them walked to the stage with Anurag and Raavi and the party started.

Maanav was standing near the stage with a mic on his hand “ Hello ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please”

Everyone looked at him. He continued “Thank you so much for joining us today in this beautiful evening . So, let me tell you something, there was a time when both of these friends didn’t  want to get married, they would run away in the name of marriage and today is the day when they are sitting with their wives. My beautiful Bhabhi’s, all the best, I don’t know about Raavi Bhabhi but Ruhi Bhabhi, you’ll  definitely need it.” Everyone laughed at his last words.

“ Now now,--” He was saying when Nikita took the mic from his hand. “ come on Maanav, Don’t  bore us. We’re  here to enjoy and you are boring us with your silly talks “ she said.

“ well well, I would like to introduce you to the Daughter-in-law of Kapoor’s , Mrs. Raavi Anurag Kapoor and Daughter-in-law of Rajput’s , Mrs. Ruhi Aahan Rajput.” Nikita said and everyone clapped .

“ Now I would like to request both the couple for a dance” Nikita said.

“ Bhabhi, You know I don’t  dance” Aahan objected.

“ Come on Aahan, it’s your reception” Nikita said.

“ But , I can’t “ He said.

“ Ok then , you have to sing a song for your very beautiful wife” Nikita said with a smile and Ruhi’s  lips curled up.

He looked at Ruhi and again looked Nikita and denied her request.

“ Yaar bhai… aaisa mat kro… sing na… please….” Maanav requested.

“I said no .. means no.” Aahan said in his cold voice.

“ Ruhi Bhabhi… please tell bhai to sing … I bet he won’t  deny your request.” Maanav said looking at Ruhi.

“ Mai… mai kaise” Ruhi said.

“ please…” Maanav said.

Ruhi tilted her head and looked at Aahan. And here … he melted.

Ruhi’s  one look was enough to make Aahan sing. He took mic from Aahan and started singing .

Wo rang Bhi Kya rang Hai

Milta na jo tere hoth Ke rang se bahu

Who Khushboo Kya Khushboo

Thehre na jo Teri Sanwari Zulfi Ke rubaru

Tere aage ye duniya Hai pheeki si

Mere bin tu na hogi Kisi ki Bhi

Ab ye zaahir Sar-e-Aam Hai, elaan Hai

With every words, Ruhi’s  heartbeat was increasing.

Everyone was lost in his melodious voice.

Jab Tak jahaan main subah Shaam Hai

Tab Tak mere naam tu

Jab Tak jahaan main mera naam Hai

Tab Tak mere naam tu ….

The song ended and everyone clapped .

“ What an impressive voice you have bhai.. maze aa gya” Maanav said.

“ You guys enjoy the party now” He said again.

Everyone was enjoying the pa

rty and meeting the newlyweds and giving their blessings and good wishes.
