YOU ARE MY DESTINY : The Raghvi Saga

10

Why hasn't anybody arrived yet??? Have they forgotten about the party?? No no......they said they'll come right??? Amma had promised her. Maybe they are stuck in traffic. Should I call Kirti???

Pallavi was pacing around in the banquet hall of the three star hotel where the party was held. She had directly come there from work as Amma said that they'll be meeting at the venue directly. They were supposed to come by 6:00 PM as Pallavi had given them time and it was almost 6:45 PM now and nobody showed up yet. Pallavi was eagerly waiting for her family as every other employee and their families have already arrived and started to click pictures and were enjoying themselves. The hall was buzzing with happy faces. Pallavi also wanted to have her time with her family but she was losing patience as nobody had come yet. She finally took her phone out of her purse and was about to call Kirti when she heard a voice calling her......

Pallavi Di!!!!!!!!

Pallavi looked at the direction of the voice and what she saw was beyond her expectation. There stood Amma, Kirti, Farhad, Nikhil, Krishna, kaka, Aai and behind them was standing Raghav in a dark maroon suit smiling at her. Pallavi couldn't believe her eyes for a moment. She knew about the Rao family joining her for celebration but her aai kaka nikhil and Krishna's arrival made her speechless. She slowly walked towards them with teary eyes. She first stood in front of her Aai and slowly spoke.....

Aai.....aap.....

Aai caressed her head and said.

Raghav lekar aaya hai hume.

And Pallavi finally let her tears come out. She looked at Raghav with so many emotions and gratitude and mumbled a thank you. She couldn't believe that Raghav had done such a thoughtful gesture for her. She herself couldn't call Nikhil and invited them even if she wanted as she knew very well that they would not come. And moreover baba would not like it.  Raghav looked at Pallavi's face overcoming with happiness and he knew that finally he was successful in his first attempt at making Pallavi happy.  He was determined to make the evening the most memorable one for Pallavi.  He nodded his head at Pallavi accepting her thank you and smiled back at her.  Pallavi spoke to Sharda.

Aai I am so happy that you all came. I never imagined this as I thought you are still angry upon me. I even thought of calling Nikhil but didn't.....

Didi this have all happened because of  Raghav Jiju. He had worked so hard & persuaded all of us to come for you and surprise you. He deserves all the thank yous today.

Krishna said cheekily. While Raghav couldn't help but smile being called Jiju. Finally at least someone from Pallavi's side has recognised him as their family. Yes she was right he had to work a little bit hard to convince Sharda and the other two people from Deshmukhs to come for Pallavi's party. He knew they loved Pallavi but they were still  disappointed by their sudden wedding and Pallavi not telling them. Though Nikhil & Milind understood everything and after they tried to help Raghav and convince Sharda for Pallavi's sake. Finally Sharda was convinced because first she loved her daughter no matter what and second she knew whatever Pallavi did had reasons & somehow she was convinced that though the way Pallavi married was wrong but the family and the person she is married to aren't that bad.

Sharda had seen Raghav's interview on her phone and Raghav had even apologized to Nikhil for his arrest. He had promised her to take care of Pallavi from now onwards. And that made the mother feel relaxed finally. Her husband still didn't care about anything but she had clearly told him that she won't cut her ties with her daughter no matter what.

Yes Pallavi..... Raghav had personally called us & invited us on your behalf. And let me tell you he had deliberately made this plan to come late to surprise you a little bit. Congratulations beta. We are so happy & proud of you.
