The Story Of Love

Next day as promised Navya got dressed for going to Nandini's place. "Ma... Hum jaa rahe hai" Navya called her mother out. "Thik hai beta... Aur hum bhi hamare ek naye dost ke ghar jaa rahe hai" Her mother said. "Apke dost... Wo kab paida ho gaye? " Navya asked confused. Never in Navya's lifetime she heard about any friend. "Tumhe kaise pata hoga... Mai abhi abhi mili hun unse" Her mother said. "Okk... " Navya said hesitatingly.

Navya went to Malhotra mansion and rang the bell. She suddenly felt anxious, she is just a middle class girl and finding herself in this biggest mansion she had ever seen made her nervous. Her thoughts were broken when Cabir opened the door "hello Navyaaaa" Cabir said with a cheeky smile and she replied with a small smile.

After what happened in Shimla, Navya had stopped talking to Cabir not because he hid about Nandini's marriage but because, he is Manik sir's brother and it looks professionally unethical and no one knew this reason.

"Come inside..." Cabir invited her in. Navya walked in, and looked around the house which was beautiful and bit decorated. "Ohhh Navya is here... Hello beta" Niyonika upon seeing Navya, greeted and hugged her welcoming her inside. "Hello Mrs. Malhotra" Navya greeted back. "Tch... No formalities don't call me Mrs. Malhotra" Niyonika said. "Ok aunty" Navya said.

"Cabir go call Nandini" Niyonika brought back Cabir from his dreamland. He was lost in that blue coloured suit cladded girl, he sure is in love with her and she is going to be his.

Cabir knocked the door. "Bhaiiiii Bhabhiiiii Navyaa has come" Cabir screamed the door. "Arrrgghhhhhhh Cabirrrrr go away" Manik groaned. "Ajib hai... Saari raat kafi nahi hai kya"  Cabir said and walked down.

"Maaaa.... Bhai bhabhi busy... Ahh i mean soo rahe hai" Cabir said hiding his smile. "Tumhare mom ko kisi ka call aya aur wo garden mein gai hai" Navya said. "Umm.. Hmm" Cabir replied. "Aurr Navyaa" Called Cabir but Navya got upon  "wo mujhe ghar dekhna hai" Navya said and walked away from there. "Ignore ignore madam... I will see how long you ignore me" Cabir said grinning.

"Meri behnaaa" Nandini hugged Navya as she her roaming around. "Kahan reh gai thi yaar... Hum kitne der se aaye hue hai" Navya complained. "Sorry na yaar... Mai raat bhar nahi so payi" Nandini said. "Ooooo Raat bhar nahi so payi... Haan haan.... " Navya teased Nandini making her blush.

"Chalo niche.. " Nandini said and the girls walked down. Navya saw there were few people doing decorating the house. "Arey ye kis ki taiyari hai" Asked Navya. "Cabi... " Before Nandini could answer Manik came there. "Hello jiju" Navya greeted her. "Hello Navya... " Manik greeted back and walked away to see the decorations happening.

"So Navya... As you know in what condition our marriage took place. So Niyonika ma and dad and my parents have decided that, next week along with Cabir's wedding we will also get married with all the ceremony." Nandini said. But, Navya heard only Cabir's wedding.

"Cabir ki shaadi? " Asked Navya in a stuttering voice. "Haan Cabir ki shaadi... Usi ki tho taiyariyaan chal rahi hai" Nandini said in a normal tone. Navya was shocked to hear this. Obviously, why will Cabir wait. She was the one who ignored him and now she can't get sad and cry over her thoughts. "Oh.. H.. Ni..ce" Navya said.

Its evening the decorations were mostly over, as its Cabir's engagement. "Acha Nandu... Hum chalte hai" Navya said its high, she can't see her love getting engaged to somebody. "Arey aise kaise... Cabir tho tumhara kitna acha dost ban gaya tha trip ke samay. Usi ke engagement mein tum nahi raho gi tho use bura lagega na" Nandini said. "Nahi Nandu.. Please hame jaane do" Navya pleaded. "Bilkul nahi... Aur look here. I have got you a beautiful lehenga. Get ready now. I will show you the room. Come" Nandini took Navya to a guest room.
