The Dilemma Diaries : Decisions of the Heart

We still are Friends!

Everyone was playing, singing songs, chit chatting and enjoying. Nishka then asked Vansh about his future with Anamika.

"See Bhabhi, to be honest with you, I am sure of her as my life partner. I do not have any second thoughts."

"Ooookay, so when you will be getting married then?"

"Ohhh Bhabhi, I really love you for this. I wish anytime soon."

"See the level of excitement."

"You know what Bhabhi, the first step of love is friendship. The way you and Bhai have entered into this relationship was unexpected but atleast you have friendship in between you both. Just nourish that. Not now but one day, it will grow to love."

"I agreed for this marriage remembering our friendship only. And trust me, I do not have any problem with Kartik because he lost his love. It is very normal for him to react and respond like this. It is okay, I am keeping faith." Nishka smiled.

After 7 hours of travelling, the Rathis finally reached Nathdwara temple. Again standing in queue for 2 3 hours, they got free of all the rituals and blessings.

Then, they reached the farmhouse. The farmhouse is usually accessible to the trustees of the temple and their families. Narmada devi's husband, late Mr. Bhavesh Rathi was one of them.

Farmhouse had separate villas for each of the trustee which were similarly designed and constructed. The other villas in the farmhouse were for the other trustees.

The Rathis entered their respective villa and entered there. The domestic help greeted them and gave them access cards to their respective rooms.

They handed over their luggages and departed for their respective rooms.

Narmada called Kartik and took access card from him and handed another one to him.

"You and Nishka will live in this room."

"But why dadi, what is the problem with this one?"

"There is no problem, follow my orders and just do as I say. Now go. Do not make her wait for long."

Kartik took the card and headed towards the room. In the lobby, he met Nishka and showed her the way to the room.

"I have always spent my holidays here. This place is a very peaceful one."

"I know, you have told this to me."

"Yeah, when we were friends."

"Kartik, we still are friends and will remain so forever." Nishka said not realising that she was holding hands with Kartik.
