Finding us

Chapter 76

".. so Roka is in the last week of Feb..." Diya pushed Nikhil away from her as she spoke with the gang.

But Nikhil took hold of her hand, kissing her palm and her fingers, making her cheeks turn pink and her heart flutter in her mouth.

She threw him a dirty gaze, to let her be, but he ignored it, kissing the center of her palm.

They were all gathered on the rooftop of Rohan's building. They were having a little party, celebrating Nikhil and Diya's impending nuptials.

The whole gang was here, and everybody was happy, dressed smartly and enjoying the Saturday evening. The sun had just set and a cool breeze was fluttering.

Diya and Nikhil were standing at the open kitchen, whilst the others gathered around them, listening intently.

"And the big date?" Naina asked excitedly.

"March 26th" Diya blushed.

"My best friend is getting married on the day of her birthday!" Priya chuckled at how excited Diya looked.

"But that's Rakesh's wedding date right?" Rohan frowned.

"Hmm.. it was either March 26th or December 14th!" Diya sighed.

"And I couldn't wait till December 14th!" Nikhil groaned, tugging Diya closer.

"Easy for you to say! I don't see you changing homes or your surname just because you're getting married!" Diya hissed, trying but failing to move out of his grip.

"You already live alone!" Priya rolled her eyes.

"You're my best friend you're supposed to side with me!" Diya snapped at her.

"I don't know... My jiju is right here so I think I'll side with him!" Priya smirked.

But Nikhil froze, his face and ears turning red.

"Jiju?" He gaped at her. But chuckling, Priya nodded.

"Ha saali-ji I love you for this!!" Nikhil blew her a kiss and clutched at his heart, sighing dramatically.

Everyone guffawed with laughter whilst Diya blushed. Priya calling him her jiju made it all feel more real than ever before!

"But you do know, saali is aadhi ghar wali?" Nikhil sniggered nastily. Everyone else chuckled, whilst Rohan and Diya scowled.

"Excuse me??" Rohan hissed,glaring at Nikhil.

" You're with my girlfriend all the time so now it's payback!" Nikhil's eyes glittered with malice as he blew Priya a kiss.

And she giggled at the sour look on Rohan's face.

But Rohan's lips curled into a wicked smirk at this.

"So that makes Diya my saali... She's always calling me jiju... Right Diya... My saali... My aadhi ghar wali?" Rohan winked, and Diya blew him a kiss at this.

"Fucker!!" Nikhil swore loudly. Everyone guffawed with laughter again, but only Diya scowled at him.

Nikhil gazed at her with narrowed eyes before he tugged her closer, nuzzling her cheek, making all the girls coo at how cute the couple is, whilst all the guys just rolled their eyes at Nikhil's drama.

"... And the engagement?" Priya asked, chuckling at how Diya kept pushing Nikhil away, whilst the latter kept persisting, putting his arms around her and tugging her closer to himself.

"No engagement!" Diya pouted, but glared at Nikhil as he kept nuzzling her cheek.

Of course, Nikhil had her proposal planned for the next week but Diya didn't know of it.
