Baby shower

Mayukh POV:

She can't get married. I won't let her. She's mine. I finally got her back, I'm not letting her marry someone else.

"Armaan, we need to do the plan now."
"Are you insane?!" He screamed through the phone.
"For her, yes."
"Mayukh, understand, it's not a joke. It's very complicated."
"We'll figure everything out. It's not difficult."
"She'll hate you Mayukh."
"She already does."
"Come on. She doesn't. She's scared of you and you're going to make it worse."
"I'll fix everything."
He sighed, "Okay. I'll get things set."

I got ready for the baby shower which was today. I wore a nice dark blue kurta and white pants and went to the venue. We were having a pooja and then a party in the evening.

Mom and Dad, along with Bhabhi's parents, arrived last night and it was a delightful time.

Currently, Bhabhi and Bhai were sitting, ready to start the pooja, with their baby boy playing on Bhabhi's lap. I smiled and sat next to them.

"Mayukh! Where is everyone else?" Bhai asked.
"On their way Bhai. You sit for the pooja now."
Bhai nodded and sat.

Within 20 minutes, everyone had arrived and the pooja was filled with people. I looked around and found her. The one I wanted to.

She looked marvelous. She wore a simple blue saree which lighted her curves. Her hair was braided with a flower added on the back. Simple kajal and lipstick as always. She looked very simple yet very beautiful. She saw me and looked down. I walked over to her and held her hand and brought her near us. Near Bhabhi and Bhai. She was shocked but followed me silently.

We sat next to each other while the pooja went on.

Nikita POV:

He looked so handsome. His blue kurta, I couldn't help but blush thinking that he's twinning with me. I tried ignoring my thoughts and suddenly Ruyash Dada called me, "Nikdu?"
I looked up to see him guiding me to come there. I got scared but I went.
"Ji." I whispered, looking down.
"Pandit Ji." He said looking at the pandit Ji while holding my wrist and I looked at him, "His Bua will name him." He said that looking at me.
I froze in my spot. What?! How can I?!
"W...What?" I stammered.
"Naming the son is his Bua's right. His Bua means his father's sister. My sister is standing in front of me."
I felt tears in my eyes.
"Dada..."
"Do this for your brother, Nikdu." He smiled at me reassuringly.
I stuttered, but finally nodded. I sat next to him and used my hand to try to cover my back using my duppata, but my hand wasn't reaching.

Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands on my back, taking the pallu and resting it over my shoulders. I turned around to find Mayukh adjusting it, without looking at me. After he finished, he looked at me and my stomach filled with butterflies.

"Nikita Ji... Take this in your hands. I'll give you some letters in your hands, based on his time of birth and you have to decide a name based on your liking."
I nodded, but I was really scared. The pandit ji then did the ritual and checked his horoscope and then whispered to me, "The letters A, N, and R are most auspicious."
I nodded, and the Pandit Ji continued, while looking at Ruyash Dada, "Please give the baby in her hands, Nikita Ji, you whisper the name in the baby's ears and then whisper it to the parents. Ruyash Ji, if you two would like to change the name, you can. This is just a suggestive name."
They nodded and suddenly their small bundle of joy was in my hand. I smiled as his eyes were gazing at mine, holding my saree pallu lightly. I whispered in his ears, slowly, "Reyansh." I saw him smile.

I then handed the baby to Manisha Bhabhi and sat next to them,
"What name has Bua chosen?" Bhabhi smiled and said.
"I... you can change it if you don't want it. It might not be—"
"Tell the name first na Nikdu." Dada said, smiling.
"Reyansh, Reyansh Chaudary." I said, hesitant.
I saw Dada and Bhabhi beaming with joy. They cupped their baby's cheeks and then cupped mine, "It's a beautiful name."
"Pandit Ji, we want to keep this name."
"As you wish. Please repeat after me..." the Pandit Ji said some mantras and then announced, "The pooja is now complete. You can make his birth certificate, if you want to, you can announce his name right now."
"No Pandit Ji, we'll be having a party in the evening where we announce. If you can, please do come."
"Thank you, I'll be there for a while. God Bless."
The Pandit ji said and I walked him out.
