Mishti :)

The haldi ceremony was done this morning, separately. After two hours of crying session finally I took a bath and as per their guidance I came to another palace that's towards the North east side of the main palace. The marriage will happen in the center of this palace, so I was shifted to this room to get ready..

Papa has been controlling his emotions for the last few days, but today we both cried our heart out. He will shift to New York after fifteen days, but it's not easy for me to leave him. My eyes became puffy after crying my heart out, the make up artist told me to do some home remedies and then I looked normal. Now my face was glowing because of the breakdown session.

My make up was done, I have worn the heavy lehnga, it's a maroon color lehnga with gold and diamond added on the embroidery.. I told them to leave, I was not feeling really good about anything.. So I didn't wear any of that jewellery and sat down quietly. It's complete silence in my room, I looked at myself in the mirror. After a few hours I will become his wife.

But I feel like I was betraying him. Because when I said yes to the marriage, I agreed to it for a reason, it's conditional. Later I accepted him wholeheartedly, but the foundation was set on a lie. I couldn't tell him anything about his bua and the conditions which she put in front of me. I couldn't share anything. That night he just confessed to me, it's very simple, but I felt myself on cloud nine.

I never knew a simple I love you can make me feel like this. He has been loving me unconditionally and in return I was just betraying him. The room was filled with silence, but my mind has become a ugly chaos.. I could hear the high music and band noise coming from outside, so I ran towards the window.. Before that I turned off the light and pulled the curtain. I made sure my lehnga was not visible.

I just popped my face out of the curtain and gazed downward.. Everyone was dancing their heart out, my friends and even papa joined them.. I saw Prince sitting over a white horse, he was looking ethereal.. He has the king's aura and God knows what I did to deserve him. He is not just rich by status, but by heart. I became zoned out until he waved his hand at me..

I hid behind the curtain, my heart just jumped to my throat. His one gaze and I forgot how to breathe.. I pulled down the curtain completely and turned on the light. All the jewellery was spread on the bed.. I was feeling numb to do anything, I had no tears left in me, I was feeling empty.

"May I come in? "

I looked up, it's Abir's mom.. "You don't have to ask aunty! " I said and stood up, she locked the door from inside and came. Her lips spread into a wide smile, she took some kajol from her eyes and put it behind my ears. "Thu Thu Thu, you look gorgeous! " She had tears in her eyes, I smiled softly. She made me sit over the stool in front of the mirror and stood behind me..

"I have always dreamed of this day. I always wanted a simple educated woman for my son and I am very thankful to God that you are marrying him, " she took my balaye again.. "Wait, I will help you, " she brought all the jewellery and started putting it on me.. A smile naturally formed on my lips, my mumma would have done this if she was alive..

She made me wear all the jewellery with so much love and care that it made my eyes teary..  His mother was against our marriage, but the way she was treating me I was melting. She's like a warm hug and I feel so comfortable around her..

I stood up, the lehnga was heavy. She put the veil on my head, I twirled around myself in front of her like an excited kid. "Mmm, you look so perfect! " She hugged me, I smiled at her.. Someone knocked on the door, she went to open it. My friends were standing in front of me, aunty left to give us some privacy. Sanaya and Tiya had tears in their eyes while Adi and Sid were smiling after looking at me.

"I love you! " Sanaya hugged me and burst into crying along with Tiya, I hugged both of them.. Sid and Adi joined our hug, "Someone is stealing our girl guys, let's kidnap her, " TIYA said in between her sobs, I chuckled. When we broke our hug, I saw papa standing in front of me. "Nobody will kidnap her, because that someone who is stealing our girl, will keep her in a world where she will be a princess! " Papa said, I hugged him tightly.

"Now I can tell your mummy that I chose the right guy for you, she must be happy! "

Suddenly I started missing mummy, why she's not here. I miss her .. We broke our hug and clicked several pictures together. "By the way, there's a good news for you! " Adi said and grinned in happiness, I raised my eyebrow. Papa smiled at me , I got confused. "Adi and I will shift to New York with uncle, " Sanaya declared, my eyes widened. I jumped from the bed and almost screamed..

"WHAT! "

"WHATTTT? "

I was stunned, Sanaya hugged me and made me sit back on the bed.. "Calm down baby, actually in the company we are now, that's an international company. Adi always wanted us to go abroad, so we decided to go to new york. Adyansh said that he will manage everything there about the company and guess what? We will stay with uncle, and now you can stay stress free! " She explained to me, my happiness reached no bounds. So Adi and Sanaya will be there with me and they will be with papa. I felt so relieved..

"And what about us, we will miss you! " Tiya pouted, she was crying very badly. Sid was sad too. "Aww my baby, we will keep visiting udaipur for you two. It's Abir's house, so he will definitely come here once in a while and then we will come here to visit you! " I hugged her, she didn't stop crying. "And I will tell your jiju to book tickets for you every month, what will he do with all the money! " I joked, she started laughing and nodded..

"Definitely! I am going to hide his joota today and in return I will ask for free tickets every month! " She stated, "Deal done baby! " I said, she smiled happily. She is the cutest member of our group, I hugged both of them again. "Then we should go on the mission! " The four left, papa and I stayed there.. He sat beside me.. "I have talked with Abir, I want you to complete your masters first. Then do apply for jobs, he will guide you.. Before doing anything, first build your career... " He said, I smiled and nodded.

"Last time you trusted someone and he... But God gave you a second chance and I know Abir is a very good guy. But remember, your father is always there for you. Anything happens that will disturb you, then come to me without any second thought! " He said, I placed my head on his shoulder. On the other hand I was betraying papa as well. If he gets to know about the conditions given by Bua, then he will be sad and upset. I put myself in such trouble and now I am stuck in a loop. There is no going back..

Abir:)

I was waiting patiently for my bride to come to the mandap, but the time has not come yet. While I was on baraat, I saw her staring towards me, but she's not looking happy. I felt like something was troubling her and she's finding it difficult to share. But then it's our marriage day and no matter what it's always hard for the woman. Chances are there that she's upset because she will leave her father today.

But I will make sure they both stay together most of the time after marriage and I will accompany them. When they were welcoming me, I sent mom to her room, I feel like she's more comfortable with mom than bua. So I thought if mom would go and talk to her, she might feel relaxed. For both of us, it's new, but for her it's more difficult. Because she will go to a complete new family and it's not easy.

But I have promised myself that I will be with her in each and every step and protect her peace and happiness at every cost. For me, she will be my first priority and I will make sure she doesn't face any problem in my house. She has given herself another chance in life and I will prove this right in every possible way..

"Please call the bride! " The priest announced, after a few minutes the middle door which was the starting point of the staircase got opened.. I hadn't seen her and I already felt my heart beating faster than ever.. I raised my eyebrows up, she put her feet on the first step..

I moved my eyes up and my breath stuck in my throat for a moment. "Damn! " I whispered, my eyes sparkled... She was wearing a heavy deep maroon lehenga with some accessories, the veil was covering her face, but I could see her face a little. The smile from my face was not leaving, it's actually happening. I am actually getting married to the love of my life..

"Bhai close your mouth, otherwise mosquitoes will go down your throat! " Adyansh commented, I rolled my eyes at his stupid statement and stood up.. I went towards the edge of the mandap, as she was walking towards me, her friends were holding her veil.. Flower petals were falling on her, "Hayeee! " She was looking like a princess, she's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life..

I went down and forwarded my hand, she raised her eyelashes up and our eyes met. I felt an adrenaline rush down my body, I could feel her nervousness through her eyes.. She placed her palm on mine and I helped her get up the mandap. Everyone showered flower petals on us. When the priest said to remove the veil from her face, I became excited..Sanaya came and lifted the veil..

I couldn't stop staring at her, my heart skipped a few beats. Her eyes were on her lap, I moved my eyes from her so that she could look up. Otherwise she's so shy of my gaze that she would have never looked up. Her father did her kanyadan, we completed all the rituals like Garland exchanges and seven phera, everything. I put sindoor on her parting line, a tear dropped from her eyes. I bent down and kissed her cheek where the tear rolled down.

Everyone started teasing us, her cheeks got the deepest shade of red. She glared at me and then ended up blushing. I grinned playfully, and then I put the mangalsutra around her neck. Everything was done. "Congratulations wifey on your new journey! " I wished her, she just smiled at my statement . We are now officially husband and wife.

We took the priest's blessings then grandpa's and then our parents..  It's time for vidaai, her real vidai will happen tomorrow when we fly to New York. So today everyone was not that sad. She has already cried her heart out after haldi, adyansh was telling me about her condition.

I was searching for my joota, "You forgot the ritual, jiju? " Tiya said playfully and sanaya and she started jumping around me.. "Adyansh you took the responsibility right? " I looked at him and that guy looked away.. "Sanaya, you played well han.. " I whispered, Adyansh is so down for her, he must have given her my joota without any efforts.. "Do you think I can't walk barefoot to the palace? " I crossed my hands over my chest.. They both pouted..

"But it's a ritual and of course I can't see my wife's best friends unhappy. So ask what you want! " I said, their happiness reached no bound. "Free flight tickets for us to New York whenever we want to visit her! " Tiyaa said excitedly, "Deal done! " I pressed my lips together and smiled. They both started jumping together and gave me my shoes.. I shook my head in disbelief and wore my joota.

The sedan chair came to us, two white horses were attached with the string. And the horse rider was sitting in the front. The palace was 700 meters away from us, but it's our rituals. Mishti climbed the stairs and sat inside it..

"From now on, her safety is my priority, so I will ride it! " I told the man to leave the vehicle, and sat in the front.. "Should we leave, princess? " I asked her and looked back, she nodded.. I handled the horse and we moved towards our palace. Everyone from our family followed us, mom and bua have already left because they will welcome both of us.. I stopped the vehicle and got down, opening the door I gestured for her to come down and forwarded my hand..

She held my hand and stepped down, it's evening only.. We both went ahead, mom did our arti and welcomed her. She put her feet inside the red water and left her footprints on the white cloth. "After two hours we will do other rituals and also people will come to give you both shagun. So now go and take some rest, I will call you before the time. I have already sent the clothes to your room! " Mom informed both of us, I nodded..

Everyone went to their respective room to change for another function, mishti was looking tired.. I lifted her in my arms, "Leave !! What are you doing , anyone will see us! " She freaked out, mom took our balaye and left.. "Now I have every right on you my dear wife, I don't care if anyone sees us, " I whispered, she stared at me innocently  .. We went upstairs to my room, I made her sit on the edge of the bed and locked the door..

She looked around my room, I wonder why it's not decorated with flowers because it's our wedding night. We still have time, but still?

"Do you need any help or will you change by yourself? " I asked her, she's wearing a heavy amount of jewellery, so I asked her out of concern. But she took it the other way and thought I wanted to romance with her.. The idea was not that bad though.. "No.. I can manage.. " She uttered with difficulty, I tried to suppress my smile and moved towards her.. On the way, I threw the maroon shawl and started unbuttoning my sherwani. Her face was worth staring at..

I pressed my one knee on the bed and removed the sherwani from my body. I was wearing just the vest on my upper body, she shut her eyes and leaned back.. "You should be habitual of these scenes princess, because it will happen daily, " I whispered in her ears, she gulped. I chuckled and moved back.. "I am going to take a bath, call me if you need anything! " I told her and went upstairs. My room has two floors and on the upper floor there is a bathroom and a closet.. I took my phone with myself..

After taking a bath I wore pants.. I didn't wear anything in the upper body because I didn't feel like to. I was feeling extremely hot so I remained shirtless.. My phone was beeping with messages every now and then.. So I sat down to check the messages, it's from my company .. It's been a month since I have visited the company, I was hoping that my PA would be handling it properly. I checked the mail and replied to a few. All the social media apps were filled with messages, so I turned off the phone and went back to my room.

"Mis-" I took a pause, all the accessories were spread over the bed. Her veil and dupatta were on one side, I couldn't find her, but then I noticed her sitting on the floor. I quickly moved towards her thinking something had happened to her, but she was just sleeping. Keeping her hand over the bed, she has put her head and slept.. She has removed her jewellery, dupatta and all hair accessories. Now she was just wearing the skirt and blouse, her hair was tied up in a bun..

I sat beside her, keeping my head on the bed I stared at her beauty. Her beauty was magical, I removed the hair strand from her face. She has removed the make up as well, on her clean face the sindoor was just giving the brightest color.. A small smile formed on my lips, I didn't want to disturb her.. Her sleep got disturbed naturally, she opened her eyes and our eyes met. She furrowed her eyebrows and then came back to reality..

"Did I sleep too much? " She freaked out and looked at the clock. We still have one hour in our hand, she's about to get up, but I held her elbow and pulled her back. Her breath stuck, "Relaxx, we have enough time in our hand . Take it easy, it's not an exam! " I whispered , her eyes moved down to my body. I was shirtless, and then she looked at me again.. She looked right and left and then covered her chest by her palm , it made me laugh.

I did not want to make her uncomfortable, so I pulled the duppata and wrapped it around her..  She held her dupatta in a tight fist and stood up.. Taking her cloth bag she started going towards the staircase, "Won't you ask me where the bathroom is? " I asked her, she didn't stop and kept her feet on the stairs.. "I saw you going upstairs, so I know! " She replied, even her voice was killing me. "So your eyes were on me all the time , huh? " I shouted dramatically and in response she didn't say anything and left.

I wanted to clean the mess she has done but I was tired. I laid on the sofa and started scrolling my Instagram account while ignoring all the mention, tags and messages. After half an hour she came back, I sat down to look at her. She was wearing a yellow saree with maroon embroidery, without any make up and jewellery she was looking pretty. I was just smiling like a fool and as usual she ignored my existence and sat in front of the mirror ..

My wife is too shy.

Mishti:)

I noticed myself in the mirror, I was feeling a burning sensation all over my neck and hands. I applied the moisturizer on my hand, but when I noticed the rash on my neck, I didn't apply anything on it.. I touched it gently, but it started burning more. I hissed due to the sensation, "What happened? " Abir asked me, whenever it is about noticing me he gets the speed of light.. He turned the table quickly and started looking at the red marks..

He was type of hovering over me and my eyes were on his perfect toned chest.. "Is it necessary to roam around shirtless? " I asked him, "I am feeling hot, " he whispered while checking my skin. "Me as well, but that doesn't mean-

" Yeah, you can roam around shirtless, I won't mind! "  My eyes widened at his sudden reply, I hit his biceps and pushed him back.. "Shut up, eww! " I made a face, shameless, he started laughing. Someone knocked on the door, he wrapped a towel around his shoulder and went to open the door. His mom, bua and Adyansh were standing outside. They were holding some jewellery boxes. "Adyansh bring the medicine kit, " he told her, "Bhabi already got the hickey? "  He teased us, I became conscious.

"She got rashes, go and bring the box otherwise you will need medical help for yourself, " he threatened her, the poor guy ran for his dear life. Aunty & bua placed the boxes on the bed, "What is this? " Bua said after looking at the mess I have created, I looked down in embarrassment. Aunty came and checked the rashes, Adyansh came with the ointment..

"Upps! I thought bhai had OCD! " he commented after looking at my room. "You should stay careful bhabi.. Bhai doesn't like if someone messes his things or room, he literally hit me once I remember just because I have misplaced his files, " he warned me , now it's actually concerning . Because I end up messing with everything. "Now will you go or you want me to kick you out of this room? "

He left the room without any second thought, "Get ready soon! " Both the ladies left as well.. Abir locked the door from inside, it's such a domestic vibe. I was actually sharing a room with him, it's totally giving me an arranged marriage vibe because we hardly know each other. We will share the bed, the room, we will stay with each other, touch each other, kiss , romance, sex, I became red just by thinking about it. The marriage happened at the speed of light..

I didn't realize when he reached me, "I can apply it, " I said while trying to take the medicine, but he didn't give it to me.. "Let me do it, " he said out of concern, I sat on the stool and he sat on his knees. When he was applying the ointment, I was hissing due to the burning sensation and with me he started hissing which made me laugh.. He applied it totally, I felt relaxed after a few minutes. I wore red bangles, but I was not sure about wearing the jewellery..

"Just wear the mangalsutra if you want, you don't have to wear anything.. It will worsen the rashes, " he suggested, I nodded.. He took the mangalsutra and put it around my neck. Aunty started knocking on the door, "We will be there in five minutes! " He shouted and ran upstairs. He came with five kurta and showed it to me.. He was wearing a white pant, so I chose the yellow kurta.

He kept all the kurta on his chest and looked at himself in the mirror. I was nervous because we were getting late, "They will get angry on us, " I said, he literally ignored my statement and continued doing his modelling session in front of the mirror. "I should wear something that will match with yours , " so he took a maroon kurta and put it on quickly. He applied the perfume on both of us, I looked at myself in the mirror. Everything was okay except my neck. It's looking empty without those necklaces, but I couldn't wear it due to my sensitive skin..

He held my hand, we both stepped out of the room. My grip around his hand tightened when I saw a bunch of people in the hall. Most of the ladies from this family frowned after looking at me.. We reached downstairs and aunty came to me.. "Beta, you didn't wear any jewellery! " Aunty asked me, then she looked at my neck and didn't say anything. She gestured for us to sit on the sofa and placed a red dupatta on my forehead. She put tilak on our forehead and then gifted a necklace to me and a gold chain to Abir..

One by one everyone came and did our arti and left after giving shagun.. They were feeding different types of sweets to us as well. My stomach was full. "A bride should wear jewellery  for at least a month, but she took it off on the wedding day itself. Today's generation's girl doesn't know how to value and respect our culture! " One of the guests commented and it's audible for both of us.. "Sorry aunty, but it's also not in our culture to pass comments to the bride on the wedding day, mainly not when you don't know about the situation! " Abir was quick enough to give her an instant reply.

Whatever he said was right, but his tone was rude and disrespectful. He could have handled it in a better way..

She made a face and kept quiet. Some of his family members didn't like it the way he shut her mouth, they must be thinking of him as the wife's puppet. I was receiving all types of judging looks.. "It's okay na, let them say. I don't care about all these things. I am habitual of it, don't take it to your heart! " I whispered near him, he glared at me. "Just because you are habitual of it, doesn't mean you deserve to hear it. In the name of culture a random person will come and say anything to my wife? I will never tolerate that! " He said, I was scared of his anger and his tone was not even low. Everyone could hear him. Everyone!!!

Everyone was staring at us, I held his hand. "Please Abir, behave, " I whispered, he rolled his eyes and sighed. This is not what I wanted on the first day of my wedding. "I didn't know you welcomed us to insult us here, Mrs Rajvansh! " One of the ladies commented, I closed my eyes in annoyance. She left hurriedly, "They both are not even apologetic, " one of them said and left as well. One by one most of them left, I pressed my forehead.

It's not even a big thing the way everybody made it to be..

"Are you happy now? " Aunty asked him in anger, he stood up.. "Mom, where was I wrong? Someone can't just say anything to her like that? " He raised his tone , I held his elbow, but only if he listened to my words. "I am not saying that. But you should have watched your tone and made them understand about it. It's not the way you deal with a guest, we have invited them! " She made him understand, she's not wrong either..

"You should be the last one to teach about culture to your son bhabi, you are the one who never valued it, " his chachi came to the front, my eyes widened when Abir went to her and showed him his index finger. "I DARE TO SAY A SINGLE WORD AGAINST MY MOM.. IT'S ABOUT ME AND HER, SO BETTER GET THE HELL OUT OF THE DISCUSSION! " He roared, I had tears in my eyes. I was scared , upset and guilty. Aunty was looking totally sad as well.

"If it's about you and her then you should have done this marriage somewhere else, not here. We have every right to say if someone crosses their line and you are crossing it Abir! " She shouted at him , I clutched the pallu of my saree. Meanwhile aunty was losing her control, "It's my grandpa's empire and not your fucking mansion! " He screamed at the top of his voice, did he just swear in front of everyone.

Aunty turned him towards her and slapped on his cheek. I palmed my face, tears rolled down my eyes. His bua came and stood between them.. "Bhabi, calm down! " His bua always takes stand for him in front of everyone, that's why he loves her so much. While Aunty always tries to balance the situation and she becomes wrong. Abir was totally stunned, his cheek became red. He was not expecting aunty to slap him, all he did was to defend her. But she punished him..

"Maybe his tone was rude, but just because she is a guest she doesn't have any rights to pass judgement to our daughter in law like that. If they would have talked among themselves then it's fine, but she made sure that mishti heard it and nowhere it's equal to valuing our culture! " His bua stated, what a bitch! What a bitch! Everyone remained silent. Abir didn't look at anyone, holding my hand he headed towards our room. He hit the door as we reached our room , after leaving my hand he went to the balcony and shut it.

I stood there quietly, tears kept rolling down my eyes. My life has become a mess like this room. Someone knocked on the door, I opened it. It's his mom, her eyes were totally red. "I am sorry, " she apologized to me and burst into tears. I hugged her, "I just wanted the rituals to end on a good note, but it just- " she was crying badly, I brushed her back. "Whenever he raises his tone or does something, everyone questions my upbringing.. I don't know what I did! I could never win their heart nor my son's heart.. I always become the villain, " Her words broke my heart into pieces..

"He really loves you maa, he just doesn't show it. You know , he loves you the most in this world, " I whispered, I couldn't call her aunty anymore. Maa , it just came out of my tongue. She shook her head while crying and left for her room. I was going to close the door, but his bua came suddenly. I gulped and took a step back. She held my cheeks between her fingers, "Could you not just wear the necklace? Was your rash that important to you? Are you happy after burning the peace of the whole mansion! I knew you were never suitable for Abir! " Her eyes were spitting venom.. What a double standard woman she is!

She left my cheek and pushed me back, "God knows what you will do to my family! Chee, " she left after giving me a disgusting glare. I shut the door and locked it from inside. My throat was burning because I have been keeping everything in me.. Her words have stopped affecting me.. I wiped my tears and went to the balcony, he hasn't locked the door. I wish he could have heard what his mom said and what his bua said, but the room was so huge and the balcony was so far plus his bua's voice was too low to reach him..

I crossed my hands over my chest and looked at him. He was still angry, he didn't look back at me.. "Maa was not wrong Abir! " I said, he sighed in distress, he was about to get up, but I pushed him back and sat on his lap. "When your wife is talking to you, then sit back quietly .. You haven't seen my rage, I will suggest you to not provoke me! " I almost sounded angry, he stared at me like a scared puppy. I noticed the redness on his cheek, but ignored it for now.

"See, she was invited to bless us. And normally the brides wear jewellery, they have an old mindset and you can't just change it by shouting at them. You could have simply said that aunty she got rashes, she couldn't wear it. You could have kept your tone decent. Otherwise what will be the difference between her and you? She doesn't know basic manners , but your mom taught you, right? Now whatever you do everyone questions your mom. And I don't like it. You should take a note of your anger, " I made him understand, he looked at the other side.

"Only bua understands me, " he whispered and his bua was successful again. Damn it. "I  understand mom's point of view, but she should understand mine as well.. " He complained, he was looking so adorable that I could not scold him anymore. I touched his cheek, maa has slapped him badly. I could feel it, his skin was totally warm. As I moved my fingers down his cheek, he hissed a little..

I leaned on him and placed my lips on his cheek, his eyes got shut . I closed my eyes and kissed his cheek again, this time I pressed my lips on his cheek .. After kissing him, I brushed my cheek against his. He wrapped his arm around my waist and hugged me. His face was buried deep into my neck.. "I am sorry, I ruined your day! " He whispered , I was happy that he took a stand for me. But I didn't like whatever happened the way it happened. He wasn't wrong, but I was feeling bad for maa. And I didn't like how that bitch won his heart again.

"I love you... " He whispered in my ears, I placed my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes..
