The next morning were the rituals. Bhavna and Devesh were ready in their bridal attires. The first ritual was Seth Bhaiya which was played in a temple with neem leaves. Bhavna played with her devars and jijus and Devesh played with his bhabhis.
Next was Majgad which was played in the house. Vaibhav played Majgad as one of groom's younger brother can do that. Next was Kangna Khulai. They had to open the threads on each other's hands. Devesh was allowed to use only one hand and Bhavna was allowed to use both the hands.
Bhavna was able to do it in a few minutes but Devesh was struggling as he needed support of another hand to hold the knot. Bhavna helped him and everyone hooted.
Next was the Jua Khelna where they were supposed to find the ring from a pot full of Haldi water. There were fivee rounds. First round was won by Devesh and the rest three by Bhavna. The last round was compulsory to be won by the groom.
And then was Mutthi Khulai where they had to open each other's fists. Again Devesh was to use one hand and Bhavna both the hands. And last was the Sir Gutthi which was done by all the ladies of the family. The rituals were very fun and playful.
It was almost afternoon now and Bhavna's brothers were there to take her home for her Pag Phera rasam and Devesh was to go in the evening to bring her back. Bhavna changed into a saree and left with them.
She entered her house and was engulfed in a hug by her mother.
"I missed you. How are you beta? Tu khush hai na?"
(Are you happy?)
Mitali asked with tears in her eyes.
"I missed you too. Aur haan mai bahut khush hu mumma."
(Yes i am very happy.)
Bhavna said while hugging her. She then pulled back and went to her father and hugged him. They asked her about her first day in her new family. Chhaya was also there by now and both the friends excused themselves and went to her room. They talked for some time when her mother called her for the Puja. It was a small puja.
Chhaya again took her to the room and started teasing her asking if she needed tips for tonight. Bhavna blushed and hit her lightly. Chhaya then gave her a bag and told her that it was her wedding gift from her side.
Bhavna opened the bag and saw a beautiful black saree and another small bah in there. She took out the bag and opened it as well. As soon as she saw what was inside she turned red and hit Chhaya with a pillow. It was a black lingerie and negligee.
"Wear this tonight. Phir dekh iska kamaal. You'll have the best night of your life."
(Then she its magic.)
Chhaya said which again gained her a hit.
"Shut up."
Bhavna said glaring at her. She put the bag back inside when she heard her mother coming in. She asked Bhavna to get ready in the saree as Devesh was about to reach. She got ready in about half an hour and Devesh was already here.
Dhriti, Reyansh and Adarsh were also there. They had their dinner, bid a goodbye to her parents and left. They were on their way when Devesh held her hand, bought it to his lips and gave it a kiss. Bhavna looked at him and then at the backseat. Reyansh was asleep in Dhriti's arms and Dhriti on Adarsh's shoulder. Adarsh was busy on his phone.
She looked back at him and blushed when he winked at her. 'What was wrong with her, why was she blushing so much today?' Bhavna thought.
"Iss bag mai kya hai?"
(What is in this bag?)
Devesh asked now holding her hand over the gear. Bhavna looked at the bag in her lap and turned red at the memory of the bag's contents.
"Chhaya ne gift diya hai. Saree hai."
(Chhaya gave a gift. Its a saree.)
"Tumhari shakal dekh kar lag toh nhi rha ki sirf saree hai."
(Looking at your face it does not seem that its just a saree.)
His face had a teasing smile. He had an idea what the 'gift' could be. Advik had also given him a wedding gift or lets say 'wedding night gift'.
They reached the home and were again welcomed with a Puja Thaal. Then Aanchal and Saroj took her to Devesh's room which was completely decorated with flowers and rose petals. Bhavna lowered her head due to shyness. They made her sit on the middle of the bed with her face covered with the Ghunghat.
"Have a palang tod night."
Aanchal teased her and got a smack from Saroj. Aanchal just giggled in return. Bhavna was very nervous now. She didn't know whether she was ready for this or not. But how will she tell this to Devesh.
'Its just Devesh. My Devesh. I can tell him anything.' She thought when she heard the door open and close again.
She heard footsteps moving towards her and she froze. He noticed her stiffening. He sat on the bed in front of her and slowly lifted her Ghunghat up. She had her face downwards and eyes closed tightly. Lips parted and breathing heavily.
He held her hands and her breath hitched. 'What is wrong with me. Why am i behaving this way. Maybe its the tension in the atmosphere.' she concluded.
"Relax and breathe."
She heard his soft and concerned voice. She took a deep breath, eyes still closed.
"Meri taraf dekho. Please."
(Look at me.)
Shw slowly opened her eyes and looked at him. He was looking at her with so much love.
"Do you trust me?"
She nodded her head and he smiled.
"Then relax. We won't do anything unless you are comfortable."
"Thank you. For everything. And sorry."
He kept his finger on her lips and shook his head as if indicating her not to say sorry. He removed his finger from her lips and looked at her lips. She saw him looking at her lips and her eyes moved to his.
They leaned forward and their lips met in a slow kiss which soon turned passionate. He traced her lower lip with his tongue seeking entrance. She opened her mouth and he deepened the kiss. Their tongues fighting for dominance. She moaned in between and tugged at his hair earning a groan of pleasure from him.
He knew he was loosing control. He pulled back before the situation went out of his hands and rested his forehead against hers. After regaining their composure, he kissed her forehead and said.
"Go and change into something comfortable. Tumhare kapde left wardrobe mai hai"
(Your clothes are in the left wardrobe.)
She nodded, took out her clothes and went to the washroom. She came out after ten minutes and saw Devesh already changed into his night clothes and sitting on the bed waiting for her.
He saw her standing near the dressing table. She was wearing a short knee length night dress. It had a cartoon made on it. She looked cute in it. She sat on the stool near the dressing table and started to apply moisturizer on her hands and legs. She was aware of his gaze on her.
She looked at him and he motioned for her to come to the bed. She slowly got up and went towards the bed. She laid down a few inches away from him. Not liking the distance he pulled her to him and slept hugging her.
