Nikki got home sad and angry . With utmost effort she dressed up , so wanting to skip this function and run to Abhi's s home instead; but this was an obligation . She would have to attend. But then what was the point in dressing up when the one person who she wanted to look at her wasn't going to be there. Before leaving from home, she dialed his number not knowing what she would say but still wishing to atleast hear his voice..' but the number was out of reach.. When she got to the venue , she met dr keerti at the gate and together they walked in to the entrance of the pub, her heart almost skipped a beat when she saw him standing, chatting with armaan '. They walked up to them , hellos were exchanged , she wished these people would just melt away and she could talk to Abhi , alone .
Her heart jumped in her chest when she saw the look of appreciation in those eyes . She instantly felt shy and delighted .Dr keerti then led Abhi inside as Armaan turned to Nikki.
"Umm Armaan, tum kya baat kar rahe the?" , she said trying to sound casual.
"Kis se?" Aramman asked unattentively his eyes searching ofr Ridz
"Abhi.. I mean Abhi Dr. Modi se kya baat kar rahe the tum?"
"Oh Dr. Modi se! Kuchh nahi yaar.. Nikki I tell you this guy is indeed sadu..'. No wonder he has no girl friend .. any girl will die of boriyat with him.. " , Armaan said and then laughed at his own joke . Nikki did not respond to him , feeling a little uncomfortable at Armaan's assessment of Abhi . She didn't like the tone of his voice. Sadu? Yes may bea little' but boring? Naahhh' And yes he has a girlfriend' Won't they make a good pair? She smiled at the thought.. . 'No one will die of boriyat Armaan and he does have a girl friend ' , she thought to herself and then hurriedly led him inside
Her eyes were constantly searching for Abhi when they got in when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder ," kis ko dhoon rahi ho , Dr Nikita? " Abhi asked in a teasing tone.
She smiled shyly and asked him..,"H. How did you come here?'"
" Kyun '.Shd I go away ?"
" ' NO ! ", she shouted and Abhi looked at her tenderly , but before Abhi could move towards her Muskaan appeared from nowhere and pulled Nikki and took her to the dance floor , cursing her luck she started dancing with the girls , Ridz informed her that they had decided not to dance with the guys '. Not dance with the guys 'it was good for them 'but why involve her in this decision, she was on very good terms with her boy friend thank you very much , she gave Ridz a fake smile of acceptance .
After sometime Armaan cut in the dance and Nikki made her escape and almost ran to the bar where Abhi was standing '. Abhi lets dance 'she said but before they could exchange another word ..Ridzy pulled her back to dance, apparently the guys had been thrown out from the dance floor and were now standing at the bar and complaining . Armaan ranted to Abhi about girls and their nakhra's and Abhi listened unwittingly.
The moment Abhi got free from the guys he signalled Nikki to come to him , hurriedly he asked her to meet him outside in 10 mins .
Nikki somehow managed to obey his order and got out , she noticed he was standing far from the entrance, his back to her. As she started to walk towards him , it started to rain .She quickened her steps and ran to him and tapped him on his shoulders ,.
" Come inside ." , she said , annoyed by the rain and wanting to get inside desperately.
But he shook his head , all the time looking in her eyes.
She did not challenge him any further , as she was completely mesmerised and unable to look away.
Nikki in her red dress drenched in the rain was driving him crazy .Silently , he pulled her close to him and she went willingly , Very delicately he lifted her chin and looked deep into her eyes ,slowly he brought his face close to her and bent down for a kiss , Nikki's eyes closed on their own and she gave in to the passion of his kiss , their first kiss . As the rain stoped and the noises of the party fell on her ears, she pulled apart ,just then they heard someone calling her name.
She turnd abruptly to leave.. all embarassed.. but Abhi held her wrist and dragged her to a corner..
Nikki loved this possessive display from Abhi but asked
Abhi what are you doing?
shh!! Nikki mere saath chalo'.
" Abhi, where? What will we tell everyone?
I dont know'.. are you coming or not?
Nikki nodded a yes shyly.. and quickly messaged Ridz that she was leaving . Abhi drove her to a caf , their clothes caught the guests attention but Nikki was beyond caring , she was escatic ' this was her first real Date with Abhi '.. over coffee Nikki told him everything about her life and her family . He listened attentively and for the first time In her life Nikki felt protected , he was a calming influence in her life , an anchor she had been looking for her entire life. Why did it feel so safe to tell him everything and she felt so light after that.
They stood at her door ,as Abhi dropped her home and he gave her a kiss on her forhead and left. Nikki got inside a thousand thoughts swimming in her head.
