Part 85:

Nandini's pov:

THIS IS IT......

That's the only thought I had when I stood in front of the mirror. The glow on my face, clearly matching the same that every bride has. Well, the Haldi ceremony this morning could easily be stated as the reason for this glow. I moved away from the mirror and walked outside my room, to the balcony. Its good that Abhi knows my taste well enough, he had the biggest balcony in my room. I settled down on the swing there, rubbing my palms on my arms and looked up at the million stars shining in the dark sky.

Yes, the Haldi ceremony too finished today! It wasn't anything much special as such. We performed the ritual here itself in the living room of this penthouse that Abhi calls home. Well, to be honest, It does give off a very very homely feeling and I can actually see Abhi getting settled down here permanently as he plans. Probably with his better half, though we r yet to see how it happens.

The Haldi today didn't include any guests as such. It was just my family, though Aliya, Mukti, Dhruv, Cabir and Navya did join us. They refused to pick a side, they were stubborn to be representing both the bride side as well as grooms. And I can't be more lucky than this to have friends like them.

Manik was behaving cranky all day... He wasn't allowed to step out of the house after his haldi. Though there was no rule as such, but Dadi got him on house arrest just to make sure that he doesn't try to meet me. Crazy? I know.... But Dadi knows us well...😉

Anyways, she succeeded.... We didn't meet the entire day. We talked a couple of times but that too for just a few few mins each time coz someone or the other disturbed us with work. Wedding preparations could really be tiring. Though no one is letting the two of us work. But something or the other somehow comes up.

And here I m.... In my room! Counting the very few moments left before I Get Married.

Am I Happy???? well, I don't know.....

I m confused, I know I should be the one flying in the clouds with happiness. I m getting married.... That too to the guy that I love the most. But....The saddest part is that I m not!!!!

***Anxiety! Fear! Confusion! Stress! Impatience!***
These are the only thoughts and feelings going on in my head. See, u got the problem, now? I mean its the most important day of my life and all my thoughts are so Negative.

I look down at myself and feel my hands shaking. Before I knew I had my phone in my hands.

Tring tring... Tring tring... Tring tring!!
It kept ringing until it was finally received after 5 rings as I heard an almost sleepy voice.

Nandini: Manik...

Manik seemed to wake up by my voice as I heard his voice clear.
Manik: Nandini....

I heard stuff moving around which i guess was him sitting up straight when he continued,
Manik: God Nandini, its 2:30 am..... Are u fine?

Nandini: Manik I m scared!
I said in a low voice almost thinking whether I should tell him or not, but still couldn't stop myself.
