6. The Extended Family

Nandini 's POV

Next morning

I ran my hands through my wet hair as I got out of the bathroom and went to my bag and took out a dark blue shorts and white baggy tshirt.. wore my outfit and then tugged the tshirt. In my short from the front...

Then went to the dressing table and combed my hair but didn't blow dry them..

I like it more if they stay wet longer and they will dry up naturally.

I wore my Flip flops and went to the small kitchen as I say navya making eggs with the toast and aliya making something on the mixer.

'good morning girls' I greeted cheerfully

"Good morning " Aliya replied smiling
And navya just nodded as her full concentration was on her eggs...

"So ready for the wedding?" I asked aliya

"Ya kind of.... just a bit nervous" she replied

" hota hai hota hai... chillax it will all be ok!" I assured while aliya nodded

"Nandini tu to ase baat kar rahi hai jese u are already married.... abhi surf rishta aaya hai aur phir bhi tu itni excited hai... I think it will be a yes from your side..." navya said mischievously as she turned off her stove

"NAVYA!!! I was just trying to comfort her... that doesn't really mean that my answer would be a yes..' I replied

'Arrrrre!!! Aese nahi.... mujhe pehle se hi aisa lagta hai..." she replied as she took out the eggs from the pan in four plates

"Mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta hai..." Aliya joined as she kept our smoothies on the table while navya took the toasts from the toaster

'I too think the same..." came mukti's voice as she entered with a large pizza box in her hand.

"And why do you all think like that?' I asked as navya took the plates on the table

'don't know' they replied as we all settled on the table.

'wese mukti why did you brought pizza this early in the morning???' I asked changing the topic..

' cause I wanted to have it!' she replied casually as she took a large slice in her plate.

' who eats pizza in the morning??' navya asked

'I do' she replied

"We do" taking a slice from the box and served one to aliya too.

'OK me too' navya too gave in

No one can resist pizza

'wese how and from where did you got the pizza??" Aliya asked

' I didn't.... wo to me mamma ke paas se return ho rahi toh suddenly pizza ne apni delicious smell mujhe bheji jisse me bhag te bhag te Uske paas pohoch gayi.." she said seriously while doing all kinds of hand actions as we listened to her keenly

Then she continued

' phir Mane dekha ke ye itna bada us bandar ke haath me tha.... so I hurriedly went to him snatched it and ran away...' she said the last part proudly

' bandar??? Kon???' I asked

' Arrrre who Cabir! ' mukti said as a matter of fact

'mukti bad manners..' came navya's Stern voice

' sorry mummy' mukti mumbled

'achcha to nandini aaj hum Saab kya karne waale hai dinner se pehle...'

'bohot saare kaam hai... sab ko karna padega' I replied

'ok' they said

'achcha mujhe to decoration ka dekh na hai... mukti tum aur navya dono saare guest ko yahan par aane par greet karoge aur sab ko apne apne cottages dikhaogi.. uski list me tum logo ko de dungi...ok???' I replied

'OK ' navya and mukti nodded

'Aur me?' Aliya asked

'you!?... you just relax... roam around.. it your wedding place.. spend some time every one... eat your favorite food... decide your dress for tonight... think about the things you wanna have in you weeding functions.... have some fun and you are done...' me, navya and mukti added all our points

'but I also wanna do some work' she whinned

'abhi nahi aliya... its your wedding...kuch nahi meri shadi me kar lena..' I said and saw all of them smirk

'tumhari shaadi?? Haan???' Aliya asked

'itni jaldi hai kya??' mukti asked

'see point proven ' navya yelled

'Arre I was just saying.....' I tried to stop them but was cut off

' see Aliya I told you.... its a yes ' navya shrieked

'it's a yes' Aliya and mukti said in unison

'I wanna do a happy dance' Aliya said and got up

' me too' mukti and navya joined

'Arre but listen!' I said but they didnt

Trio went to the living room and I followed

Mukti played some music and trio started to dance crazily...

And whenever their would be high note they would just say 'it's a yes' aloud without caring about the lyrics

A small smile made its way on my face as I saw them dance

Aliya doing thumka

Navya was on her knees trying to act like a guy and was dancing with aliya.

And mukti was on her own doin Bhangada..

Then after some time trio did some crazy dance...

And I couldn't stop the urge to dance with them..

So I joined them..

Then we all danced the crazy desi dance..

Sudden a voice came

'mukti??'

Making us freeze in what ever step they were doing.

I straightened up... but didn't turned around as my back was facing the door.

Soon the girls also recovered and straightened

Aliya was the first one to react

' Yes Manik what is it??'

'woo I was in need of the list of the guest who are arriving today..' he answered as aliya went to then the music system and then turned it off.

' Ha but wo to mere paas nahi hai..' mukti replied innocently..

I know what's gonna happen next..

' oh OK i'll ask someone else' he said

'but aliya woh to NANDINI ke paas hai na??' mukti asked acting innocent and emphasizing on my name

I swear I don't recall seeing this much broad smile plastered on their face

'Ha I too think the same.' Aliya replied smiling

I could hear them giggling lowly.

'navya come i'll give you that list..' I said and dragged her with me to our room then gave her the copy of the list..

And she left without saying anything.

That's the thing with Navya... she would understand you at times no one would.. and that's one of the reasons I love her...

Manik's pov

I smiled inwardly as she dragged navya with her.

As navya and nandini went into the room mukti turned to me

' So Manik, Was the guest list the only reason you seem to stop by??? Aliya asked teasing

I was going to yes but then an idea came into my mind

' no' I replied confidently

'Ooo so what was the other reason???' Aliya asked. As her smile widen.

' woo actually... ( I took a dramatic pause) Dhruv na... he wanted me to check if his beautiful princess or should I say beautiful QUEEN is doing good or not???' now it was my turn to smile and Aliya's turn to be embarrassed...

I think this is a proper revenge from her for teasing my girl..

My girl??

Since when???

'Since long.. ' my heart replied

Maybe..

My thoughts were disturbed as Navya returned and gave me the list...

'thank you' I said

Your welcome jiju... ( my eyes tured wide) I mean Manik' she said and I smiled

Navya is no less than mukti or aliya

Oh god...

Nandini's POV

I came out of the room as I saw navya closing the door..

' nandini he is sooo cute.. he came here just to see you... I know he said it was because of Dhruv. But still we know better...' navya said while Aliya and mukti gave me a teasing smile..

And here I was praising that she understands...

' I m going... I have to look after the decorations '. I said ignoring her and not wanting to stay here any more...also I have loads work to do...

As I opened the door they sang together

'we know it's a YES ' they shouted together and I chuckled

"So is it a yes?" I heard a voice and turned to see Dhruv cabir and abhi standing there

"For what?" I asked

"For the alliance." came Aliya 's voice as she came outside followed by mukti and then Navya.

Before I could react Navya shrieked

'arrre Aliya don't look there and come inside' then started dragging her in.

'arrre but why??' Aliya said resisting her

'Dhruv hai yahan!' Navya said

'so?' cabir asked

'dont you know? They can't see each other now.. !' I replied

'arrre par me kyu andar jav.. this is my side of the ground.. I can do whatever I want...' Aliya said stubbornly

"Aessa hai? (he then took a pause) I have an idea.." cabir said and snatched a nicely packe packet from Dhruv then tore it..

He took out a fancy looking long cloth which was nicely folded.

Is that a Saree???

Yes. Maybe.

My confusion replaced by amusement as cabir opened the once nicely folded saree and draped it on Dhruv and covered his head with pallu

I was about to chuckle when abhi held my mouth and gestured me to stop. And I nodded

"Ab aap aa sakti hain bhabhi..." cabir announced holding dhruv's hand on back who tried to struggle out of the saree

"Abbe gadhe! Chod mujhe.." Dhruv shouted

"What you did to him?" Aliya asked as she came in view

"Ek toh tum dono ko ek dusre se mile bigair nahi raha jaata. Aur help Karo toh "What you did to him?" bagairat..." cabir said mimicking aliya while aliya glared at him

"Well, idea accha hai cabir." I said and cabir smiled

"Thank you hone waali bhabhi ji.." cabir replied and I glared him

"Waise. Tu yeh kaamwali baai ki saree kahan se chura ke laiya??" mukti asked keeping her hands on navya's shoulder leaning to her

"Abbe kutti!! Yeh meri Maa ki hai." Dhruv groaned and mukti was taken aback

"Abbe kutti!! Yeh meri sasu Maa ki hai..." Aliya said glaring at mukti

"Cabir!" We heard a voice and turned to see an angry looking Manik standing there

"Aaiye! Aaiye! Aapki hi kami thi.." navya said Sarcastically while Manik gave her a smile

"Kya kar raha hai cabir. Aunty ko kyu pateshan kar raha hai?" Manik asked and cabir looked at him raising his eyebrows

"Peri ponna aunty..." Manik said bending to touch dhruv's feet while we had a hard time controlling our laugh

While cabir and abhi burst out laughing

"Abbe chod!!" Dhruv struggled and succeeded as cabir and abhi were busy laughing on the floor already

"Manik ke bacche. Tujhe kis angle se main auntie lagta hun?" Dhruv said coming out of saree and Manik looked at him stunned

While we all burst out laughing..

"Cabir!!!" Dhruv roared and cabir tried to run still laughing on the ground

"Bye loves!!" cabir shouted as he ran for his life while Dhruv chased him

While Manik still stood there shocked.
"Manik!" abhi called shaking him

"Abbe gadhe. Abhi main Dhruv ka aashirwaad le leta!" Manik shouted at abhi

"Of course. Tu hi auntie ko bachane aaya tha." abhi replied shrugging his shoulders while Manik glared him

"Ek free advice du kya abhi?" I asked him while he looked at me

"Run!" I mumbled and he ran for his life while Manik looked at him confused

"Are Manik! Your bakra! He ran!" mukti shouted jumping up and down pointing abhi

"Dekh lunga. Mukti ki bacchi.." abhi shouted running

"Abhi pehle apni lungi bacha le." mukti shouted back with a chuckle as Manik chased abhi

I shrugged my shoulders and turned to the girls. "Enough of this. Now let's get back to work. Yeh log to apne side ki decor kar bhi chuke honge. We should not be behind them right?" I asked and the girls nodded

I walked away from my cottage as everybody else too went to the direction they were needed in.

When there is a wedding in the house no one's free.

I had to look after the wedding decor while mukti looked after catering and navya looked after arrangements of guest accommodation as all the close relatives had started to arrive. Thankfully the wedding functions were smaller and reserved while the reception was going to be a grand one. Inviting the paparazzi and announcing the wedding to all our fans too.

I walked to the ground where there was going to be the family dinner tonight.

The staff were arranging the table while some boys were hanging fairy lights on the huge tree nearby.

I walked to them looking around scanning the arrangements

"Good afternoon, Miss. Nandini. How can I help you?" the manager Mrs Williams greeted me

"Good afternoon Mrs Williams. I would like you to send someone to get the customized lamps from mukti." I instructed and Miss Williams nodded

"Till the time can we please decide the tablecloth and the arrangements of table." Mrs Williams asked and I nodded

"Off course."

"do you mind the table cloth being a bit simpler? As according to me it would look elegant and would enhance the look of other decors." She explained

"Sure. I think that will be good. Our thoughts match on this." I smiled

And she smiled back.

"Jay!!! The lights. That's the wrong way. Make it perfect." she shouted at a boy and he nodded

"Come let's get started..!" I said and we turned to the table.

She kept her notepad, pen walkie talkie and other things on the chair nearby as I walked to the other end of the table.

Then lifted up a white tablecloth from the table, unfolded it with a jerk

And the other end came to my side flying as I catched it.

We first covered the whole table but then we both made a face together then folded it in half and set it in the middle.

"This is much better!" I commented

"Yes." she nodded in approval when her walkie talkie beeped

She came back smiling

"Okay miss nandini. The white roses you ordered are here. So should I put them in Golden vases or my choice of black is cool?" she asked

"Black would do great. And thank you so much for keeping me in, in every single and smallest detail as this wedding is of Aliya who means a lot to me..it feels really good" I appreciated her and told her what I felt like..

"Arrre. Are you going somewhere?? No right? As the thank you is for the end. I too really want to make this wedding a really special one.. not only for u guys but also for myself.. I feel happy here to look after everything.so Ya don't waste time we have loads to do.." she said and our smile triphum

"Come let's decorate the flowers" I said. And we got back to our work decorating
"Can you please go and get all the sample dinner plates and cutlery for ma'am to finalize?" she asked a guy politely and the guy left after nodding and murmuring a "Sure ma'am"

" ma'am here are the lamps you asked for." a girls came and handed over some boxes to mrs Williams.

"Oh thank you so much sweetie!" she replied with a smile

"Come let's decorate this one's till the samples come.." she told me and I nodded. She went near the tree set the boxes on the ground. And started opening them. I followed her and joined her.

She took out the first lamp and handed it over to the guy who was standing over the branch of the tree over our dinning table.

He hanged it and then looked at us for confirmation.

"Take it just a bit to the right." I said and he did as told.

" yea that's perfect" I nodded

Miss Williams gave another lamp to him and it went on and on.. me and her adjusting the lamps at their right positions. They were many.. but was worth.

"Now time for plates and cutlery." I said as we finished the lamps..

"Yes they are here. ". As the turned and opened a huge box which had different types of plates and cutlery

"Which ones do you wanna pick?" she asked me.

"Whichever are your favorite!!" I asked in return

" you sure?" she asked

"Yes"

"So let it be a surprise."

"Ok" I nodded

Navya's POV

Navya's outfit- blue ripped jeans with a simple grey tang top and white converse

"Namaste. Buaji!" I greeted aliya's Bua as she entered with her family consisting of her husband and two daughters both nearly my age

"Are navya! Kese ho aap bacche? Bohot time ho gaya app se mile huve." she said embracing me

"Main ekdum thik Hu. Chaliye main aapko aapka room dikha deti hu." I said and she nodded

"Navya di!!!" Nikita said jumping on me for a bear hug as soon as she spotted me

"Nikita. I'll die choking..." I mumbled and she let go off me

Nikita's outfit- Simple dark blue sweatpants with a sleeveless hoodie

Nikita is the eldest buaji's daughter and a wattpad writer by profession. And a happy go lucky type of girl. we all bonded really well with her except for mukti.No bad feelings but they both just didn't sit well with each other.

"Sunaina?" I asked Nikita looking for her other sister

Sunaina is the younger daughter and a well settled girl as people call her. with a job of head manager at an international company. And the quite one amongst us all. She was engaged to rohan about a year ago and both of them fell in love eventually. and now you can see how perfect they are for each other.

"She went to the boys side to find her bag." Nikita answered and I held back a smile as i gave her a knowing look

I hugged Nikita one more time

"Rohan?" I asked in her ear and broke the hug while she nodded

"Are itna kyu hug kar rahe ho?" uncle asked

"Uncle ek bar usne mujhe hug Kiya aur ek bar maine usse. Aaj hi mile hain na. Bohot Saal baad." I explained while he looked away thinking we were crazy

I walked them to their designated cottage and entered inside.

"Miss Pauline, can you please assign them the keys?" I asked the hotel management staff member who was helping me guide everyone and she nodded

"Ma'am I guess the girls will be staying in another cottage around the bridal one?" she asked and I turned to bua

"Bua. Nikita aur sunaina hamare saath waale cottage main rahenge. Koi problem to nahi hain na?" I asked

"Nahi beta." she replied after confirming it with her husband

"These are the two cards. You swipe them and put them inside this box to keep the electric supply." Pauline told them passing a cad to both of them

"Okay. Thank you." uncle answered back nodding

"Anything else you can contact 10 from that room telephone." Pauline said pointing towards the phone besides the sofa.

We walked out and moved near our cottage where sunaina and nikita's cottage was

"make yourself comfortable, nikita. we need to rush." i said as pauline handed her the cards of cottage

"and one more thing. please find sunaina." i said and she nodded

i walked out of the cottage while pauline followed

"are there more people left?" i asked pauline as we both walked back near the main hall where we were supposed to receive all the guests

"here's the list." pauline sand handing over the list of guests we were supposed to receive. the one who were already settled had a tich mark before their names

"we still need to find nandini's cousin brother and mukti's uncle aunt." i said as i bumped into someone

"ow!" i mumbled as i rubbed my forehead and looked up to find sunaina with a girl in her late twenties and a boy most probably her husband


Sunaina's Outfit

"finally navya" sunaina mumbled as she hugged me

"how you doing?" i asked her as we broke the hug

"i was nearly going to get dehydrated. i couldn't find anyone and almost every cottage looks alike." sunaina replied and i chuckled

"this is maha and her husband neil. i was lost and i found them lost too. so we make lost and found." sunaina said pointing to the couple

Maha's outfit

"please dont talk to me in that way. i just understood that you were lost." i said shaking my head in confusion

"here, ma'am." pauline said forwarding three water bottles to each of them

"that's the cottage you and nikita will be staying." I said pointing the cottage we just came out of

"Okay guys, i am sure we'll meet soon. i hope Navya is able to get you safely to your accommodation." sunaina said waving to the couple as she walked away

"Ma'am there is no registration for Neil and Maha on the our side but there is a registered cottage on the groom side with the name Neil and Maha Malhotra... !" Pauline said after checking in her note pad and I turned towards the couple

"Malhotra clan?" I asked and they nodded with a smile

I smiled as I hugged maha.

"Oh I am from team bride. I am navya Kapoor. Aliya's friend. And a part of devil di.... forget that... you guys are our guests. So come we will escort you to the groom side" I said after breaking the hug

"Well, I hope I could change side. You seem much more fun." maha said dreamily and I laughed

"Neil jiju, I guess you make a boring company." I said and he looked at his wife

"Not at all navya, I make a really good company." he said firmly

"Only with his laptop and mobile." maha comments and I chuckled

"No decor on our side?" neil jiju asked as we crossed the bridge to the groom side and I shrugged

"Manik!" I called as I saw him instructing some workers and he turned toward us

"Bhai!!!" he said as he walked towards us

"Bhai ko bhul gaya. Airport pe hi tha main" neil said glaring him while Manik looked down

"It's okay, Neil. He might have forgot." maha said holding her husband's hand

"No maha! He should not forget his responsibilities." neil jiju said scolding manik who stood like a child getting scold by mum

I looked at pauline and gestured her to move. I guess manik would handle things.

"Are navya, where are you going?" neil jiju asked and I stopped in my tracks

"I guess you guys will have no problem from here." I said with a smile and he nodded

"I have a problem. I don't want to be bored here. Can I join you girls if you don't mind?" maha asked and I looked at her with a wide smile

"Really? You will come? Oh! That would be great! We were gonna have girls night." I said with excitement as I lunged towards her

"No. Bhabhi is from our side." abhi said coming out of nowhere and I glared him

"Tujhe kisne pucha?" maha asked and abhi frowned

"Please bhabhi!!!" he pleaded trying to make puppy face which looked more like a fish

"Abbe Bol na!" abhi said elbowing manik

"Please bhabhi..." manik asked and maha looked between us

"Aur waise bhi we are going their side today for gathering." manik said and abhi nodded

"We promise you'll have more fun here." abhi said and maha looked at me and I smiled

"Okay, I'll stay." maha declared and two of them jumped.

I left them enjoying, to attend the rest of the guest with pauline
