Authour's P.O.V
Today was their big day. Adi was on top of the world struggling to come down while naina was struggling to keep holding on. She was feeling way too different today.
She couldn't describe it. Her hands were shaking. Finally the day everyone was waiting for so eagerly.
Everyone was going to get new responsibilities and start a new life. But behind everyone's happy and excited faces, they were all kind of nervous and scared.
Especially adii. He's going to be a husband. Naina was going to be his wife. They were both getting married. Marriage. Definitely a big word with hell lot of responsibilities.
The happiness on your family's face makes you forget every other worry in the world.
Everyone was rushing here and there not caring about them but for the big day today. The piousness today.
The arrangements were being checked every second. The designer were being called upon. The most Supreme delicacies were being prepared. The invitations had been sent.
Nainas family was burning with jealously seeing the brown basket with the invitation. Along with the most expensive wine and chocolates.
The house was lighted with happiness.
"Mumma mere earnings kahan hai?" Vidhi yelled.
"Mam voh khane mai Chini Check Kariye aake please" someone yelled from the kitchen.
"Arey koi Ramesh ko phone lagake pucho pandit jii kab tak free honge?" Someone yelled from the room.
"Arey bhaiya, yeh yahan lagao aur Dhang se" someone yelled from the garden.
End moment preparations were being made and checked. So many guests had arrived and were staying with them before the wedding.
Finallyy!!! The time had come.
Adi was in his room standing in front of the mirror. He was wearing his sherwani. The door opened and his mom and dad walked in.
"Oh my god!" Mom said and hugged adi. Dad came and hugged them both too. They stayed like that for about some time until adi pulled back.
"Mumma, it's a big responsibility. Will I be a good husband. I don't think I can do it" adi said quickly. Nervousness was written on his face.
Dad placed a hand on his shoulder. "Beta we all get this feeling before taking any responsibility in our life, be it small or big. I know you can do it. I too got this same feeling and Mai toh tere Dadu ko bol diya tha 'papa mujhe nahi karni shaadi'. But what to do. Your mom had me so over her"
As soon as he said that mom his chest playfully. They all laughed but in the end they all had a family hug.
The barat came and adi sat on it like the king he was. And they reached the venue all dancing like hooligans.
On the other side naina was all ready in a red bridal legnhga. She looked like a ravenous goddess who just got ready to be worshipped.
Her red blouse sticking to her chest, making her big breasts peek out. Her breathing made them go up and down pulling others attention. Her slender waist, on which the heavily embroidered lehnga was hanging. The curve of her hips when she walked, swaying them unknowingly in a voluptuous manner.
Her blouse had a deep back. A hook and a string above to keep it in place. The long red bridal veil on her head, adorned with the golden mangtika.
Her skin was glowing without any makeup. It shone in the moonlight. Her nose covered with a nath twice the size of her nose and her lips painted wine red. She bit them breathing for air. Her fuller, plump lips.
Kohl on her doe eyes protecting her from every evil eye. Her hands adorned with the red and white chuda and heavy rings with diamonds.
She was looking like a goddess whose being worshipped.
The door opened and ma walked in. She looked at naina and gasped.
"Oh my god, look at you my princess." She said and hugged naina close. Naina hugged her back. Feeling the warmth and hugged her tight fearing that will she ever be able to feel it again.
"Ma, I'm scared. I don't want to get away from you" naina Said with cracky voice. She's the only one she has.
"You're not going away from me and neither am I from you, I'll always be here, always" she said and pointed towards her heart.
This made her cry even more. It's hard to part. You're leaving a small peice of yourself somewhere.
"Please ma come with me, I'll talk to adi" she said and wiped her running nose.
"Paagal ladki. Don't cry, use kya pata kya chalta hai us jahnum mai. Usse pata chala toh yeh log aaj Bach Nahi payenge" she said.
Naina hugged her even tightly. And they kept hugging.
~~~~~~~~~~
He was stopped at the gate by his cousins and with a thali. So many boys behind him winked at the girls in front of them.
Aaj toh chandi hai hamari, itni saari ladkiyaan. And the girls too smiled them.
They went ahead with the rituals.
Aditya was now seated in the mandap chanting mantras with the priest. He was a ball of emotions right now ready to burst. No one could tell by the look on his face that he was shit nervous.
Sweat was trickling down his forehead but he wiped it quickly.
"Ab Dulhan ko bulaya jaye" pandit ji announced. Adis mom and went up.
Soon he turned around and his heart stopped. He forgot to breath, blink everything.
Everything else just blurred. All he could see was a red goddess descending down the stairs which he wanted to call heaven at that time.
Her presence is heaven. It makes everything heaven. He just wanted to hide her from this world.
She was the most beautiful bride he had seen. He felt lucky, so damn blessed to have this innocence with him.
His throat felt dry. She was walking towards him, not looking at him which made him groan internally. He wanted her to look at him.
To see that innocence and purity in her eyes. How everytime she looked at him he forgot everything in the world. Even his own name.
Those innocent eyelashes battling on her doe like eyes. His glance went towards her lips. Red, wine red, deepest shade. He licked his lips and his throat felt even more dry.
'Mine' his sudden possessive side came out.
He saw how others were looking at her and didn't like it. She was slowly walking towards him and he was getting impatient.
He heard a few teasing from his cousins and friends but ignored them. He had a much bigger job to do right now.
Look into her eyes. See them shine.
She reached him and it was now time for the Varmala.
First it was nainas turn. No one from her side was here to pick her up.
So a few boys from adis side came to her and picked her up. All hooted seeing the look on adis face.
He didn't want anyone touching her but at the same time enjoying all this. He tried to put the garland around neck but they just raised her more high.
Naina blushed and giggled bitting her lips which unknowingly turned adi on, he groaned. She was feeling happy.
"Bas kardo ab, hamara ladka yahi Mar jayega" someone shouted from the crowd. All laughed and adi was all red.
Finally they let her down and he put the garland in her neck. He kept looking at her grinning like a fool.
Naina was about to put the garland in his neck when he was lifted up by the boys suddenly.
She felt shy, really shy to look up at him. He was smirking. He could see her cheeks turning pink. Beneath the layers of make-up he could see her true unfiltered blush.
Suddenly an idea came to her mind but she was hesitant to do so.
She slowly started stepping back and was about to leave when he shouted.
"No wait oye niche utaro" he said and smacked them on the head. All laughed seeing him. Naina blushed even harder.
She shyly walked towards him and put the garland around his neck earning an applause from the crowd.
It was time for pheres and naina was being taken away. Adi looked at her like a lost child who lost his candy and kept looking at her retreating figure.
"Haan Bhai thik hai, ussi se shaadi ho rahi hai baad mai dekh liyo usse kamre mai" Sohail said and dragged him to the mandap. Adi glared at him and huffing he went away.
The Havan began and the for the final time they brought naina back and made him sit next to adi.
Adi felt so warm and happy in his chest. He was sitting next to naina ready for the biggest step of his life. He didn't think much.
Just wanted to enjoy this moment. If possible let it never end. This feeling of her beside him. So pure. He felt as if he was getting married to a goddess and she deserved to sit way high than she is right now.
"It's time for the pheras" panditji said and both naina and adi got up. Vidhi came forward and tied nainas veil to adis pink cloth.
Soon the purest moment began and everyone could only witness the purity they saw.
They were walking slowly around the holy fire. Letting the gods bless them. Adi in front and then naina.
Adi was given the mangalsutra. He held it gently and placed it around nainas neck.
The mangalsutra as if found its owner shone brightly. Silver curve tied to both ends with black and golden beads. Naina closed her eyes.
Then suddenly maids came with a thali and on it was placed a sword. Royal sword.
Adi was the king. It had to be done the royal way.
He took the sword and naina looked at him confusingly. He cut himself slightly on his thumb. Naina gasped as he did that.
He walked forward and put his thumb on her hairline where the blood found its rightful place, marked.
As soon as he did that the sound of lightening could be heard outside. Wind began to blow and sudden appearance of storm was seen. Which soon turned into heavy rain.
Clappings and whispering were heard all over and all could do was stare and his mark on her hairline. Absorbing the fact that now she was a part of him. And he was a part of her.
No one said anything. The silence was too pure. This day was pure. Only sound of rain could be heard outside along with lightening.
"Vivaah Sampan hua, ab aap dono Pati patni hai" panditji announced breaking silence.
Naina took a deep breath and her eyes changed. They grew dark and it was as if something took over her. Adi kept looking at her.
Suddenly she looked at him and he gasped slightly. The darkness in eyes was to be seen. It was pitch black. Abyss. Never ending. Yet it was attracting, deep, sensous, intense. He wasn't able to look away.
His eyes were like a thread that had been stuck to the hook of her eyes darkness. Both were looking at each other. None of them was able to break the contact.
Nainas breathing became heavy and then a very loud sound of lightening broke their eye contact. Naina stumbled and adi rushed forward to help her. He held her by her shoulders.
"Are you okay?" He asked. She nodded and shook her head standing up.
Then everyone came and gave gifts and then the photoshoot was done and finally it was time for bidaai.
Nainas family came forward and hugged but not before pinching her too tightly. She let out a small scream and alisha smirked.
Her aunt was literally pushing her away as naina slowly threw the rice above her head. They shed a few fake tears showing how much they were gonna miss her but today naina was different.
She didn't care at all. Yes she was still extremely sensitive to the torture. She shook her head at the people who were now literally pushing her away as if she was some piece of dirt. She bit her Lip to control her tears.
They were not for them, they were because she was leaving her ma. Her only someone whom she called family. She was there but she didn't come forward. But naina knew she was watching her and blessing her with her eyes.
All came forward and naina walked towards ma and hugged her with her life. Hot tears kept making their ways into her eyes.
No one can ever part a mother from her child. Adi felt bad for her. He promised himself to treat her like the queen she is. Make her sit on his head. And why wouldn't he. She was his queen. She left everything for him.
Now it was his responsibility to make her feel abundant of all those things. She would rule his heart. He just wanted to hug her and sooth that feeling that she was feeling right now.
How much does a girl sacrifice for her husband. So much yet unrecognizable. Not valued yet taunted. He promised to make her life a living heaven on earth.
Naina walked towards the car where she was stopped by her friends and adis.
The girls gifted her a packet and the boys to adi.
They both looked at their packets and made a confuse face and then looked at each other.
In Nainas gift there were condoms and in adis gift there was pink lingerie.
What! Why are they gifting me a lingerie? Adi thought. While naina was too shy to even look up.
Adi looked at his friends who were now smirking at him unaware of their gift.
'Inse toh Kal baat krta hun' he thought.
He made her sit in the car and closed the gate and went to other side.
He saw her looking at her ma and tears made their way into her eyes once again. She felt so alone and empty.
Adi gently scooted forward and hugged her keeping her head onto his chest. The tears wet his sheerwani but he cared less. All he wanted was to see her smiling. Sooth her.
Soon they reached the mansion and naina stopped sobbing and kept laying on his chest feeling his beating heart. She kept a hand on his chest.
He went to her side and opened the door and offered his hand. She blushed and shyly took it. At the door was present the entire shekhwat family all ready to welcome a new member into their house.
Naina felt blessed to have such a family. After the Pooja adi was blocked by his cousins at the Door and naina was in waiting for him.
"Bhabhi aap aao meresaath, bhai abhi yahi par rahenge jab tak hame hamare paise nhi mil jaate" vidhi said.
Adi made a face and took out his purse.
"Kitne chahiye"
"Pura purse" they all said without any shame. He looked at them and glared.
"Bhooke log, thodi si bhi sharm nahi aati na. Itna bada muh khol ke paise Maan reh ho" he said huffing and handing over his wallet to them.
They all flew for the wallet and the senior shekhwats laughed at them.
He hurridely went upstairs and everybody laughed seeing him so desperate.
He ran and saw his cousins again in front of him room.
Huh! Nope not again.
"Ab kya hai, hat aage se" he said. They all stood in front.
"Hamara gift" they all said. His eyes widen.
"Toh niche jo abhi diya tha voh kya tha"
"Voh toh paise the Ab actual gift bhi do na"
"Actual gift, paagal ho. Kuch nhi bacha mere paas."
"Toh thik hai fir apni suhagraat yahan hallway mai manana"
He glared at them. This was the worst part. He wanted to be with his naina. Away from all these irritating people.
See her on his bed. To be honest. Just imagining her sitting in a bridal dress on his bed kind of turned him on. She had such a strong affect on him. Pulling him towards her unknowingly and threading him into her net of love and passion and innocence.
He shook his head "Kal dedunga abhi hato"
"Kya bhai, itni kya jaldi hai" they said teasingly. He glared at him holding his last string of patience and they all laughed seeing his reaction.
He pushed them all side and went in and locked her door and took a deep breath.
As he opened his eyes, his breath hitched.
