HAPPY READING ! 💫

*Third Person's POV*:-

The living room was boisterous since the cousins were meeting each other after a long time and when they met, fun was bound.

The noise even woke up the elders who were fast asleep in their rooms. But did they feel vexed ? No, instead their joy increased seeing their future generation together and happy, and they joined the crowd.

Nishtha had a corner occupied for herself- the pristine white pillar as she leaned on it, her eyes stayed on Ranvijay who was talking to Ekansh and Vardhaan with a gleam in his eyes. Though there was no smile but Nishtha had now learned to read his eyes.

And Ranvijay was elated right then, seeing this Nishtha took a deep breath of satisfaction seeing Ranvijay content.

"Ranvijay won't you introduce us to bhabhi ? We are meeting her for the first time.," Ekansh said bringing the spot light on Nishtha. Hearing her name Nishtha immediately starightened herself and passed Ekansh a formal smile.

"Yes, come,"

"Everyone, this is Nishtha.," Ranvijay said. Nishtha looked up at Ranvijay waiting for him to add their relationship but was met with disappointment. Her smile faded to just a minor curl of her lips as she stared at the floor intently.

"Bhabhi, I am Ekta, Ekansh's wife. We got married last year.," Ekta said winding her arm with Ekansh's.

"Hello Ekta.,"

"I am Veer, age- 27....,"

"I know. Veer Rawat- the music director.," Nishtha pointed in an instant making Veer chuckle.

"He even laughs with a rhythm.," Nishtha smiled wider at the thought and added, "I am a fan of your works."

Veer did a gentleman's bow, holding Nishtha's left hand with a feathery touch and pecked her knuckles, "I am honoured to have pretty fan like you."

Nishtha was now red. Her cheeks had this orange hue of blush as she looked at the floor feeling shy. A handsome man being a gentlemen in front of you was a rare sight and it made Nishtha feel demure.

"Let's go to our rooms now.," Ranvijay said clearing his throat, which instantly broke Nishtha's bubble and she was back to her stoic face.

"Bhaiya let's sit for a little longer we want to catch up with so much.," Ekta whined and Ranvijay just raise dhis ahmd son mock surrender," How can I demy you'll ?"

"Bhabhi by the way, why didn't you attend mine and Ekansh's wedding last year ?," Ekta asked turing to Nishtha.

Nishtha's eyes snapped towards Naina in question, she wasn't even aware of the wedding, that too of Ranvijay's first cousin.

And when Naina didn't meet Nishtha's eyes in shame, Nishtha scoffed inwardly feeling dejected.

Ranvijay's who noticed Nishtha's piercing look at Naina was confused for a moment but kept his silence as he waited for Nishtha to answer.

"Actually Ekta, I didn't get any leaves from the hospital. I am so sorry for missing your wedding but I hope gifts can helo compensate it.," Nishtha quickly made up a story, deciding to confront Naina later on.

"As much as we would have liked your presence but gifts might work too," Ekamsh teased.

"Depending on how they are.," Ekta added playfully and her laughter spread across the room.
