Faasle aise bhi honge,
Kabhi socha na tha;
Woh saamne tha baitha mere,
Par mera naa tha.
[Translation: He was right there in front of me but no longer mine and that's when I actually realised what distances mean. ]
After the lunch was done away with, the ladies sat removing their now dried up henna. Nandini was scratching the henna irritatedly when Advik took her palm in his and began rubbing off the henna gently making Nandini smile at his concern.
Kritika: Kuch seekho Advik se Karan.
She glared at Karan in disappointment while he made a helpless face at her in turn shooting daggers at Advik, who royally ignored him and concentrated on his wife's hands.
Nia: I wonder if I'll get a husband like bhai.
She sighed dreamily looking at her bhai and bhabhi.
Advik: Yeh toh impossible hai. Mai ek piece hee hoon iss duniya mei.
Nandini nodded her head in mockery.
Nandini: Hmm sahi baat hai. If you want a husband like your brother then you should pray that he isn't as impulsive and short tempered as your brother. Warna bhagwaan hee bachaye tumhe.
Everyone laughed at her statement while Advik narrowed his eyes at her that said 'Baad mei dekh loonga tumhe'.
Ram: Yeh toh hai. Iss single piece ko sirf Nandini sambhal sakti hai.
Gautami and biji smiled at him as their eyes gave away a twinkle of agreement.
Nandini: Waise I don't think you need to worry about your future husband's temper, Nia. Kyu Vihaan?
Vihaan, who was helping Taani in removing her henna, choked and coughed making others smirk in mischief.
Gautami: Arey! Aaram se beta. Yeh lo paani piyo.
He took a sip and pleaded Nandini to keep her mouth shut to which she winked at him.
Biji: Par Nandini tera matlab kya tha?
Nandini smirked looking at Vihaan's pleading eyes before looking at biji. She was about to speak when she noticed one of her hands were now devoid of any dry henna as Advik sat idle suddenly interested in their conversation.
Nandini: Tum kyu ruk gaye? Abhi ek aur haath bacha hai. Hataaooo!
She ordered Advik gesturing her other hand who slightly shook his head taking her hand in his.
Advik: Jo aagya patni ji!
Others giggled while Nandini grinned happily enjoying taking advantage of the situation, well aware what awaited her later in the room, all alone with him.
Nandini: Haan biji, mera matlab tha ki hum log apni Nia ko kisi galat ladke ke saath thodi shaadi karne denge. Especially her BEST FRIEND Vihaan. Hainaa?
Biji, who seemed partially convinced, nodded her head in agreement, making Vihaan and Nia sigh in relief while others giggled silently.
Navya: Waise bijiii, hum log saari rasmei follow kar rahe hain naa?
Biji: Haan Navya. Kyu kya hua?
Navya took a quick glance at Advik who was engrossed in cleaning Nandini's hand before turning back to biji while Nandini scrutinised her gaze at Navya, well aware of her mood.
Navya: Biji if I'm not wrong, originally the bride and groom are not supposed to meet each other after their Sangeet ceremony right?
This time Advik's eyes fell on Navya as his body stiffened thinking about Navya's plan while others were suddenly very excited.
