The Dilemma Diaries : Decisions of the Heart

Honeymoon Is A Part Of Pretence!

Nishka badly wanted to bury herself in the ground before coming face to face with any one in the house. She directly headed to her floor when she was called by Narmada.

"Nishka, where are you going? Come, sit with us all and show us the shopping at least."

She, without even turning to Dadi, told that Kartik would do that and ran away.

Everybody got laughing on her reaction like this.

"Come on Ma, stop teasing them like this. Not till they return at least, lest they will cancel their plan." Raman said

"Thanks Dad! And Dadi, I will share pictures with you for sure. Good Night!" Kartik said and then he also went to his room.

"Kartik, I want to know what are you upto? What is going on in your mind? Shopping, interest, what are your intentions?" Nishka shooted questions on him as soon as he entered the room.

"Woah woah woah! Take some breaths at least. Or are you practising to hold them? Hmm, You will need it. Carry on!"

"Shut up Kartik. I am serious."

"What is the sense of being so serious? We are going for a honeymoon and do not tell me that you do not know about what happens there."

"Kartik, you only told that it is just a pretence, then what is this all?"

"Yes, I did that, but honeymoon is also a part of that pretence only. You only told me that we are a legally married couple, so it is obvious for us to celebrate our relationship, isn't it? This is what honeymoon is."

"You think it is funny. What if I am not ready? I mean that I am not ready." She emphasised.

"Come on now, we were not ready for this marriage also, were we? But we did and here we are, so we will do this also and....."

He then took his steps towards her and pinned her to the wall. As usual, he then softened his voice and spoke in her ears, 

"Let us take a trial match before the real one. Here only, tonight."

"Good night!" Nishka pushed him and went to sleep.

Kartik laughed and slept beside her while Nishka was second guessing. They were supposed to leave the next night.

The next day was very much hectic for all the Rathis. They were busy getting things done for Kartik and Nishka. Meanwhile, the Guptas also visited them to bid them adieu.

Nishka was spending time with her parents when Latika took her to her room. She wanted a mother daughter moment.

"Nishka, I am glad that finally your relationship has reached that stage. You know what, I was very dicey when Kanav announced your marriage with Kartik but now when I saw that how the Rathis are taking care of you, I am tension free. I should have known that Kanav can never think of anything unfavourable for you. May God bless you both my little baby." She then kissed her forehead and handed her some gifts for both of them. 

Nishka then came downstairs with Latika. Then came their luggages brought by the staff. It was now time for them to depart.
