She sighed before calling him again.

"What is it Kimaya?", he asked with irritation.

"Tomorrow you are coming right", She asked him directly as she frowned.

"No, Why would I come to my own wedding", he asked irritated by her stupid questions.

"Then listen bring a jacket with you. It is so cold here in December. Nobody is listening to me. Don't forget to bring it otherwise I would freeze in cold tomorrow only", she told him before hanging up.

He frowned looking at his phone wondering how weird this girl he was getting married to was.

The night passed away and the disappointment on Disha's face said it clearly that it didn't work with Randhir. Kimaya knew how to read a person from his face. At least this was something she was proud of.

She sighed sitting in front of the mirror. Today, she was dressing up as somebody's bride. The thought itself made her feel weird in her stomach. She looked at the makeup artist who was trying her level best to enhance her beauty and the hair artist was just busy pulling her hair.

"You have really beautiful hair", the hairstylist said smiling at her as Kimaya nodded.

She never liked compliments. She felt like they were taunting her.

She clenched her fists trying to control her irritation. 3 hours and she was sitting in the same place with the same words thrown at her face. She was bored to a limit when it started to get irritating and on top of that Shivani fell asleep as well.

Finally, after so much wait, they got her ready but she couldn't enjoy it properly as the photographers wanted her to get her shoot completed. She was feeling so tired already but couldn't say anything.

Finally, when she got to sit, she heard the music outside which was enough for her to know the arrival of the Baraat. She heard the door open as her mother entered inside along with her father.

She turned to look at them with a small smile.

"Now don't tell me I don't look good. I would kill those makeup artists. It took so long", Kimaya spoke looking at her mother than her father who was looking at her without blinking.

"What happened?", She asked looking at them with a curious shine in her eyes.

"You look like a fairy", her father said making her look at him.

"Really? You know Mumma wanted me to wear red but I thought it would go very bright. So", She was saying when her mother wrapped her arms around her pulling her in a tight hug making her eyes wide as she stared at her father in shock.

She was shocked to find tears in her father's eyes as well. She never saw him crying.

"Why are you both crying?", She asked looking at her mother caressing her back.

"You got ready like a bride, Kimi. Now you would be known as Randhir's wife before our daughter. Till this date, you had your identity with your father's name but everything would change from today", her mother said making her frown.

"Nothing is changing Mumma. Whenever you feel like it, just give me a call and I would be there to irritate you", Kimaya said making her mother pull her cheek.

"I wish it would've been this easy", her mother said keeping her hand on Kimaya's head.

"Bua baraat is here", Shivani said entering inside the room with a bright smile.

-------------

The bride walked towards the groom with her head bowed down, her cousin sister helping her in handling her lehenga.

Randhir could hear people gushing about her beauty.

"Bhabhi looks like a nymph", Shrishti, Randhir's sister spoke with excitement shining in her eyes joining her hands dreamily.

"Like a goddess", Angad spoke in a spell which was of course heard by Randhir whose eyes turned to him. He preferred to ignore his words after all this girl was going to be his today and he would make sure nobody could look at her after today. Not at least the way this young boy was looking at her. He helped her climb up the stage. It seemed like her dress was heavier than her.

They exchanged their garlands as she continued looking down.

Next, they were to go to the mandap. He walked down and helped her climb down as well. Her hands were shivering. It wasn't because she was feeling cold but because she was scared.

Her cousins came by her side next helping her walk properly holding her lehenga. Her hold on Shivani's hand increased as she took steps towards her new life. The life where she would have to leave her present behind. Her parents, her cousins, everybody she ever knew would be left behind.

She blinked her eyes to control her emotions and took part in all the rituals.

A tear fell down her eyes as he filled the vermilion in her hair partition.

She didn't even look at him once. Her mind was too much clouded at the moment.

They stood up from their place and took the blessings of the elders.

"Jiju, your footwear is with us", Disha said which was really shocking for Kimaya. She was not expecting her to take part in her wedding after what happened yesterday.

"Bhabhi, your sandals are with us", Shantanu said as Kimaya pushed her hair strand behind her ear. The sound of her bangles and kaleere making a sweet sound.

"But this is done by bride side only", Shivani said standing beside Kimaya.

"Time is changing, didi", Shantanu said making Kimaya smile softly.

"Bhabhi, you have any problem with us stealing your sandals", He further asked Kimaya. She felt the same tingling in her stomach when he called her Bhabhi. She shook her head lightly.

"See Bhabhi is not having any problem", Shrishti said more like cheered.

"But we don't want any present in return", Shantanu said looking at Shrishti before walking back and coming back with a little boy of about 5.

"Bhabhi, we all are younger than Bhai and he had always treated us like a father more than cousins. Mumma always told us that the elder brother is a father figure which makes you a motherly figure for us", Shantanu said looking at her with so much respect which melted her heart immediately. Nobody respected her this way in her whole life maybe because she was the youngest one of all her cousins as well.

Her eyes fall on Randhir who was staring at them with a blank face. His eyes were totally emotionless which shocked her a little. But he was respected by everyone in his family.

"Would you adopt us three as your first kids", Shrishti said jokingly making her smile.

Her eyes stared at her mother-in-law who had little tears in her eyes. She could feel how much proud she would be today. Her mother-in-law nodded lightly at her with a small smile making her pass the same smile to her.

She looked at the three looking at her expectantly which made her smile and nod.

"Bhabhi", The little boy said opening his eyes asking her to take him in her arms. Before she could take him in her arms, Randhir took him in his arms making the cute boy pout lightly.

"He is Aarush", Shantanu said as she pulled his cheek lightly making him smile brightly.

She felt like a huge responsibility was thrown on her shoulder at this moment. This warm feeling was so weird yet so good at the same time.

"Ohh..Ohh.. Now even we can't ask for a present. So Randhir as the elder sister I would like to tell you to be careful, this girl is dangerous", Shivani said making everybody laugh. Kimaya glared at her lightly.

"But however she is, take care of her", Disha said pulling her cheek lightly.

Randhir nodded lightly, his eyes falling on his bride who was wearing her sandals. Shrishti was helping her wear it properly.

-------------------

They were having their food silently while his eyes were falling on the boy from before. His eyes were not leaving his wife which made him clench his fist.

"Kimaya, you can remove your nose ring till the time you are eating", his mother said when she saw her struggling to have her food. Kimaya looked at her before nodding removing it.

Her nose was a little red.

She was having her food when Shivani passed her a glass of milk. It was too hot for her taste and as a habit, she called her mother.

"Mumma, this milk is too warm", Kimaya said more like complained.

Her mother was about to help her when her choti Mami spoke.

"Come on, Kimaya you are going to get married. Who will come to help you there?", She spoke more like taunted. She wanted Randhir for her daughter but of course, it didn't work.

Kimaya's eyes reach her mother's and she could see the tears already as she walked away. She sighed before looking at her Mami wanting to say so much right now. She stood up from her place shocking everybody and held her lehenga a little up to walk properly before following her mother.

She knew her mother could only be found in the washroom.

"Mumma", she called entering inside to find her mother sobbing.

"Why are you here?", her mother asked turning to her.

"Because my beautiful mother is here. What if somebody kidnapped her?", Kimaya spoke wiping her tears.

"Why are you minding her words? Call me whenever you want and I would come running. I will irritate you a lot than that you would ask me to leave", Kimaya joked getting a smack on her shoulder by her mother making her pout.

"Mumma, I am serious", Kimaya said making a cute face only to get another smack.

"I would be the first bride in the world, who is getting beaten by her mother on her wedding day as well", she spoke dramatically as her mother laughed.

"Dramebaaz", Her mother spoke pulling her nose lightly.

"From birth only", Kimaya spoke smiling proudly.

"Let's go before everybody comes here. What if they think the bride ran away with her mother?", Kimaya spoke making a thoughtful face walking out with her mother. Her mother smacks her other making her wince dramatically again.

"Gently woman", Kimaya spoke as her mother shook her head. She smiled before wrapping her arms around her and kissing her cheek.

"Now you have a lipstick mark on your cheek. What if Papa saw this?", Kimaya said only to get a light slap on her cheek.

"The bride is getting slapped today as well", Shivani asked smiling.

"She deserved this", Kimaya's mother smiled reaching others as Kimaya sat beside Randhir.

"When will the Kaleera ceremony happen?", Disha asked excitedly.

"Somebody is ready for her marriage", Shivani spoke winking at Kimaya who smirked lightly at Disha, her cheeks were completely red by now.

"I am telling you, Kimi. You need to drop the kaleere on this girl's head. She is so irritating these days", Raj spoke only to get a smack from Disha.

-------------------

"Now that everything is done, we all have danced in this marriage except the two most important people today. Now that they are married why not they dance today", Disha stated in the mike pointing at Randhir and Kimaya sitting in their places.

Kimaya stared at Randhir who didn't even smile for once in the whole marriage which scared her a little. The incident from yesterday revolved around his mind, how she let her sister call him knowing very well what the result can be.

He stood up from his place as everybody hooted loudly. She stood following him as well as he reached the stage silently.

(I would recommend you guys to read further with the song. Lyrics are present with each paragraph so you could feel more connected to the scenerio)

Betahasha tu.. yaad aata hai

Jaane kya hona hai tere mere darmiyaan

He held her hand before pulling her harshly in his arms making her frown in shock. She looked around to find people smiling at her. They thought it was something passionate.

Mujhse hi mujhko.. tu churata hai

Jaane kya hona hai tere mere darmiyaan

He traced his fingers on her arm before holding her hand in a tight grip that was hurting her. She looked up at him to find his hard eyes glaring back at her.

Ishqe.. di lat tadpaave

Dil na lage.. jab dil lag jaave (x2)

Before she could think properly he spun her around him sharply making her head spin pulling her back in his arms. She felt his nails in her flash. She had tears in her eyes at this point as he continued moving with the beats.

Kyun chaand se ho jode umeedein

Ik doosre se, aa roshni lein

Kyun hum alag yun lete hain saansein

Ik saans mein hi aa dono jee lein

Aise mile phir naa ho judaa

Ishqe di lat tadpaave

Dil na lage.. jab dil lag jaave (x2)

The next moment, he spun her again many times, this time pulling her back holding her elbow tightly behind her. She felt as if he would break her hands today, he leaned towards her only for her to lean back. She closed her eyes feeling the pain increasing. Her back was hurting with this much pressure on her backbone as he continued making her lean back.

She knew if she continued letting him take the lead he is going to hurt her more.

Beghar thhe saare sapne humare

Aake mila hai tu aashiyan sa

So when the female voice started, she left his hands only for him to stare at her intensely as she traced her fingers on his shoulder while slowly moving around him still maintaining eye contact.

Jaayenge kaise hum door tujhse

Tu saath chalta hai aasmaan sa

Hai pyaar kaisa jaadu bhara

He had a cruel depth in his eyes as the moment she came in front of him, he held her bare waist pulling her close to him. She stared back into his eyes as she leaned back again lightly this time with her will not by his force.

Ishqe di lat tadpaave

Dil na lage, jab dil lag jaave (x2)

He made her turn again putting his chin on her shoulder lightly swaying with the musical beats.

He spun her again but this time softly making her lean on his side body before turning her again pulling her in his arms as she kept her left hand on his chest while placing her other hand in his looking directly in his eyes.

Betahasha tu.. yaad aata hai

Jaane kya hona hai tere mere darmiyaan

Mujhse hi mujhko.. tu churata hai

Jaane kya hona hai tere mere darmiyaan

The next moment, he pushed her away lightly tracing his finger on her bare arm before pulling her harshly back making her wrap both arms around his neck. Her breathing was fast as he made her stand on his feet wrapping his arms around her waist.

Ishqe di lat tadpaave

Dil na lage jab dil lag jaave (x2)

The next moment, her feet were not touching his as he lifted her up in the same position moving in a circle. Her hold around his neck increased as he looked back at her with a different passion. She never saw in anyone's eyes before.

She felt like she was in a different world with his arms wrapped around her. She came back to reality when she heard whistles and hooting as she pulled away from him. He continued holding her waist as his eyes traveled to Angad only to find him gritting. It made him feel at peace.
