The Jaimala started. Samaira and Nyra brought the varmalas. Khushi made him wear first and then he did the same.
The torturous photo session started. A painful three hours later they were taken to the dinner table. And as usual Adi denied because Khushi had a fast and so he said that he would eat when she will.
Adi was then taken to the mandap while Khushi went to the room to rest her legs.
She was called half an hour later. The priest started chanting the mantras. Arohi did the Gathbandhan.
The priest called Khushi's parents for the Kanyadaan and her eyes filled with tears. Adi held her hand and blinked. He was about to say something when Aanchal and Mishkat stepped forward and did the ritual.
Khushi knew that she would cry any moment.
They got up for the pheras. Adi did not leave her hand for even a second.
She was made to sit on his left side. He made her wear the Mangalsutra and did the Sindurdan. She looked into his eyes. He had tears in his eyes.
A tear fell off her eye and she smiled faintly. She was finally married. To her love. Her Adi.
She was finally Khushi Aditya Singhania.
They got up and took everyone's blessings.
A short rasam called Chhand Sunai was done after which was the Juta Chhupai Nek. Reyansh and Arnav like very good brothers managed to get his shoes making Khushi smirk at him.
Then came the Bidaai. She was going back to the same place she has lived for 11 years now but she still felt a little emotional she didn't know why.
She threw raw rice seven times backward in Aanchal's pallu.
"Ye pehli bidaai hai jisme rona dhona nhi hoga. Bhabhi toh same hi ghar mai jaa rhi hai."
(This is the first farewell without tears. Bhabhi is going to the same home.)
Anay, Dhriti's younger son said innocently making everyone smile.
They settled in their car. Khushi slumped against his arm and mumbled.
"I miss them."
"I know."
He whispered back and placed a kiss on her head. She closed her eyes and let a tear fall while he caressed her arm and pulled her against him.
She felt her eyelids get heavy and soon she slept.
They reached home and all the kids ran inside shouting 'Bahu aa gyi' with full excitement making both of them chuckle.
They were stopped at the door for the Bar Rukai ritual. Then Bhavna took them for another ritual where Adi was supposed to slide the plates with neem sticks and Khushi was supposed to pick them up without making much noise.
She then sat for a small puja after which she opened her fast by eating Moong Rice. Adi too had his food.
They slept in their rooms. Adi was grumbling again saying that even after getting married he couldn't get his wife.
Bhavna slept in Khushi's room to prevent her son from sneeking in at night.
**************************************
The next day everyone woke up late. Since Khushi has practically lived with them since forever they just did the Rasoi rasam for name sake because she wanted to make something for her husband.
Adi quickly saat beside her before anyone could object. He held her hand as soon as she sat down.
"Why are you behaving like a desparate man?"
"Because i am. I am not allowed to be with my wife. How am i supposed to behave?"
She shook her head at this man child.
They spent the day playing games and dancing and watching movies.
**************************************
The next morning Aditya and Khushi were ready in their wedding attires.
They went to the temple for the Seth Bhaiya ritual. They played with neem sticks.
They returned back home for the Majgad ritual which was done by Viraj.
They then did some fun rituals like Jua Khelna, Kangana Khulai and Mutthi Khulai.
Khushi then changed into a simple saree for the Sir Guthi ritual.
Reyansh was there to take her for her Pag Phera ritual. Devesh smile seeing Khushi laughing and talking happily.
'I fulfilled my promise.'
He whispered in his heart.
Khushi went with Reyansh and Aanchal did her Pag Phera ritual.
Khushi and Ahana sat and talked about things. She played with Eshana for some time and then went to change into a saree.
Adi was there at dot 7 pm and man! He was smitten.
She looked so pretty in the saree. He wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her till they got breathless.
'Just a few hours more.'
Arohi and Viraj too were there to take her.
They had their dinner and they started off for their home.
Adi was driving while holding her hand like always.
He kissed her hand occasionally.
They reached home and were again stopped at the gate.
Khushi was taken to his room and was made to sit on the center of the bed.
She has been in the room numerous times but this time it was different. This time she was there as his wife. This time she actually had a right on him.
She looked around the room and blushed seeing the decorations.
'He is not going to spare you tonight! You guys are going to have a bang! Literally speaking!'
She didn't know how to react. She knew she loves him but getting intimate is a completely different thing.
She was ready but was just nervous.
She broke out of her thoughts when she heard the door open. She couldn't see him because of her viel but she could sense his presence.
He sat near her and kissed her knuckles softly. He removed her viel and just looked at her.
"Kya hua?"
(What happened?)
"I had so many plans for tonight. None of them were innocent I'll tell you. But ab tab tu mere paas hai mann kar rha hai bas dekhta hi rahu. I love you."
(But now when you are with me i just want to keep looking at you.)
She hugged him tightly and mumbled an 'I love you'. They pulled back after some time and he said.
"Let's get you changed."
He said and took her near the dressing table. ************************************** Please do leave your comments.
