Aadhya Rehan

Chapter Twenty Two

Aadhya sat on the decorated stool surrounded by her family. Her mother, Devki, came forward did her aarti and inaugurated the haldi by placing the mango leaves filled with turmeric and spreading it on Aadhya's face and hands.

Devki fought hard not to let her tears out but a welled up Aadhya hugged her. And then her father came, Aadhya's mind suddenly erased the thought on why she's having this wedding and looked at him with love. After all, he's her father.

He gave her a kiss on her hairs and patted her head. She was followed by her Dadi, siblings and Bhabhi and niece.

The Mehra's enjoyed the haldi fully with music and bathing Aadhya in turmeric.

"No one is supposed to put so much. Just a little touch is fine" Rehan said sitting on the chair. Everybody nodded at him, but soon after the elders put haldi on him, his siblings, cousins and friends tore his kurti and poured turmeric water on him.

Rehan shouted but everyone replied covering his face and body with haldi.

Tara was laughing hard seeing Rehan when her eyes caught Kavya. She took the turmeric in her hands and slowly spread it on her cheeks.

Tara gasped in shock and before she could go to her, Kavya started coming to Rehan. Tara was about to block her when a hand pulled her.

"Let's see what she's going to do" Sanjay's words stopped Tara and she nodded looking at him.

Last night, Sanjay spotted Tara and Kavya talking and seeing the mangalsutra in the dustbin, he questioned Tara. Now Sanjay and Tara are keeping their eyes on Kavya, everywhere.

Kavya stood behind Rehan and called him. He turned back and lost his words not knowing how to initiate a conversation with her.

"Uhm! Kavyaa" He looked around and wished if anyone would come and throw haldi at him, it was far better than to stand near her.

"I just wanted to---" She raised her hands showing the haldi, which was the same pasted to her face.

He nodded awkwardly in reply. She felt her heart fluttered when her hands came in contact with his cheeks. She felt her body heating up and a blush coming on to her face.

Rehan passed a not real smile and quickly moved his head away. "Thanks" He muttered and ran while she kept her fingers closer to her neck.

"She's really becoming a psychopath" Sanjay commented turning to Tara.

"You can't blame her. It was all Kanika aunt's fault. He shouldn't have put that idea into Kavya's mind." Replied Tara.

"Ya mother and daughter is no different and she's no kid" Sanjay walked away leaving Tara in her thoughts.

Rehan Malhotra

"No"

"Yes yes yes"

"No means no"

"Yes Mr. Malhotra"

"Im not going to dance in my wedding. Put that bloody information on your tiny little head Ms. Anvi Mathur" I yelled standing infront of Anu.

This girl is getting me mad. She wants me to dance for the Sangeet tomorrow. And bloody hell I'm not.

And she also wants me and Aadhya, she and Sanjay, and Dev, my bestfriend other than Sanjay, and his fiance Preeti to do a group dance.

This is not arts programme.

"Bhabhi let's call Aadhya Bhabhi and tell her that she's going to marry a 90 year old grandpa" said Liya as all the girls have grouped against me for not dancing.

And only I was at my side. Sanjay whistled and entered the room.

"Sanjay, why dont you put Sindoor and mangalsutra to her right now. Only you both are engaged but she's here all the time like she's the queen of this house" I gave a warning look to Anvi but she was not at all interested in it.

She took her phone out and started calling someone. Who's she video calling now.

"Hello Anu" Aadhya's sweet voice echoed from the phone and I tried to grab it but she stood behind Sanjay, making him a pillar between us.

"Aadhya, a quick question. Will you be a little hurt if I told you Rehan won't be dancing tomorrow but sit in a chair and will observe everyone?"

What the hell is this girl doing.

I tried to move but the girl gang here grabbed my arms and Liya covered my mouth with her hands.

"Hmm, sort of yeah but why won't he"

Oh my god, she wants me to dance. How can I tell her a 5 year old dances better than me.

"Oh I was just joking. He'll dance, see you soon" Anvi kept her phone back and everyone in the room stated at me.

"Rahul include this oldie and makes him the hero of your dance. And ya Rehan, Aadhya likes Sharukh Khan so better dance to his songs and Dev and Sanjay I'll send you guys the video we 6 are going to dance tomorrow and from tomorrow morning everyone of us will practice and I'll send the video to Aadhya and she'll practice her portion from her home. So bye everyone. We have to get ready for mehendi"

Anvi's speech was finished and everyone the room except me and the boys.

"You've booked yourself an atom bomb" Rahul said patting Sanjay's hand and everyone nodded.

"Oh my god bhabhi, you're looking so so pretty" Liya hugged Aadhya in awe.

The mehendi was held in the convention center where the marriage followed by reception will happen. People from both side had reached and Aadhya's hands and legs were being adorned with mehendi.

"Isn't Rehan not going to dance" Aadhya asked Anvi and she giggled in reply.

"He was not at first and we were having this huge fight and then an idea clicked me. And I called you and inorder to not disappoint you he's dancing"

Aadhya felt a sudden love for Rehan hearing Anvi's words. She didn't know if every bride feels this way but she was sure she's in love with her Rehan.

Yes, I know. I'm going as fast as a bullet train because I want to get them married so fast.
