The next day everyone woke up late and since the day was free they just played games and watched movies. 

Adhya still couldn't talk to Kiaan about anything.

Adhya was utterly confused. Kiaan was behaving weird.

'Shouldn't he be heartbroken? Girlfriend kisi aur ke saath bhaag gyi iski aur ye kisi aur se shaadi krke khushi se naach rha hai. Saadma lag gya kya?'

She couldn't understand what to think of it.

The day was well spent but by the end of it Adhya was all the more confused because Kiaan was behaving as if nothing was wrong and he did not just marry her instead of his girlfriend.

He was behaving as if he always wanted to marry her.

Kiaan himself didn't know why he did not feel sad or heartbroken. He claimed to love Arpita but he was not at all sad about her leaving. Infact he was happy with Adhya being his wife.

*Kitna clueless hai ye insan

**************************************

The next day Kiaan and Adhya were ready in their wedding dresses for the rituals.

They went to the temple for the Seth Bhaiya ritual where they played with neem sticks.

They came back home for the Majgad ritual which was done by Ayansh. 

Some fun rituals like Jua Khelna, Kangana Khulai and Mutthi Khulai were played.

Adhya then changed into a saree for her Sir Guthi ritual.

By afternoon, her brother was there to take her home for the Pag Phera ritual. 

She reached home and was welcomed by Kirti with a hug.

"Tu thik hai na? Khush hai na?"

(Are you fine? Are you happy?)

"Haan mumma mai khush hu. Relax."

(Yes mumma i am happy.)

Kirti smiled and kissed her head. 

Her Pag Phera ritual was done and then she sat with her parents and they chitchatted for some time.

It was almost time for Kiaan to be there and Adhya went to get ready. 

She came out wearing a red bridal saree and saw Kiaan was already there to take her back home. He smiled seeing her and she smiled back.

They had their dinner and left shortly after. They were in their car and Adhya was looking outside the window and was deep in her thoughts. Kiaan had noticed the same but did not say anything and decided to talk to her after reaching home.

After reaching home they were again stopped for the Bar Rukai ritual and were welcomed in after their aarti.

Adhya was taken to Kiaan's room and was made to sit on the center of the bed with a veil over her head.

She had been in this room several times before but this time it felt very different. This time she was there as his wife. This time they were married.

The door opened and Kiaan entered in. He closed the door behind him and smiled seeing her sitting on the bed.

He sat in front of her and removed the veil from her head. He was taken aback with the expression she carried.

She was sitting with a bored expression.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

He asked her and raised her eyebrow at him.

"Ye mujhe puchhna chahiye. Nhi? Kya ho gaya hai tujhe? Dimaag wimag hil gaya hai kya? Aankhen khol Kiaan. Mai Arpita nhi hu jo tu itna khushi se ghum raha hai as if tujhe kisi ne teri favourite candy de di ho."

(I should be asking this. No? What has happened to you? Have you gone crazy? Open your eyes Kiaan. I am not Arpita that you are dancing with happiness as if someone gave you your favourite candy.)

She was almost over him with each of her sentence and he looked at her wide eyed almost leaning back on the bed.

She took a deep breath and sat back down. He too sat straight and gulped.

"Tu thik hai na? Please tell me ki tujhe koi sadma nhi laga hai aur tu mujhe Arpita imagine nhi kr rha hai."

(Are you okay? Please tell me you have not gone into depression and thinking of me as Arpita.)

Adhya asked looking genuinely worried. Kiaan somehow controlled his laughter from escaping because he knew she would definitely hit him if he did.

"Mai thik hu. Aur nhi mai tujhe Arpita imagine nhi kr rha. I know tu Adhya hai."

(I am fine. And i am not imagining you as Arpita. I know you are Adhya.)

"Toh phir tu itna chill kaise hai? Jiss ladki se tu pyaar karta hai wo nhi hu mai."

(Then how are you so chill? I am not the girl you love.)

"Ye kisne bola. I do love you."

(Who said that.)

She made a bored face again and said.

"You know i am not talking about that love."

He chuckled and said.

"Relax. I know. But honestly bolu na toh mujhe bhi nhi pata. I mean i know i should be sad ki wo mujhe chhod kar chali gayi but mai nhi hu. Reason mat puchh kyunki mujhe khud nhi pata."

(I don't know myself. I should be sad that she left me but i am not. Don't ask me the reason because i don't know.)

Adhya looked at him and asked slowly.

"Tu usse pyaar karta tha na?"

(You loved her right?)

He sighed and said.

"Sach batau toh ab mujhe khud nhi pata. Shayad nhi."

(I don't know that myself now. Maybe not.)

"Toh shaadi kyu kar rha tha?"

(Then why were you getting married?)

"Pata nhi yaar. Can we not discuss her right now. Or maybe ever. I didn't love her. Topic close."

(I don't know.)

She opened her mouth to say something but he raised his eyebrow and she closed her mouth sitting back.

They sat like that for some time with Kiaan looking at her and Adhya looking at the bed thinking about it all.

She was happy knowing he didn't love Arpita. She didn't want a loveless marriage. If he didn't love Arpita then there was a chance for their relationship to work.

She got up after some time and he asked.

"Kaha?"

(Where?)

"Change krne. Mai puri raat iss saree mai nhi baith skti."

(To change. I can't sit in this saree the whole night.)

He smiled naughtily and said.

"Toh hata de. I can help."

(Then remove it.)

She looked at him and smirked going near him.

"Really!? Do it!"

He was taken aback and opened and closed his mouth several times. She laughed and pushed him a little.

"Aaya bada flirt krne. Pagal."

(Trying to flirt. Stupid.)

She said and started going back when he held her wrist and pulled her back. She kept her hands on his shoulder to balance herself.

"I can flirt ok?"

She nodded and pursed her lips to control her laughter. 

"I know you can but i also know ki tujhe time lagega to accept that hum ab sirf friends nhi hai. And its ok. Tab tak hum waise hi rehte hai jo hum hai. Best friends. Okay?"

(It will take you time to accept that we are not just friends now. Till then we will remain how we are.)

She said smiling and went in the washroom after taking her clothes.

She leaned against the washbasin and sighed loudly. 

How ever much she behaves that it was not affecting her but deep down he did affect her a lot. Whenever he came near her or looked at her or tried to flirt with her, her heartbeat started getting fast and she started to feel giddy.

Not that she was going to accept that.
