'Y..Your Cl...Clothes....' Siya stammered...

While Raghav took the bag from her hand without breaking the eyelock...

Now Siya was feeling uncomfortable...She gave up on their staring competition...While Raghav hopelessly continued...She started looking everywhere other than his face... Suddenly Raghav was back into his senses at a voice outside their room...

'Raghav Siya you both are ready???'

Raghav turned his gaze around to look outside the room and he noticed his mom standing outside the room saying

'May I come in'

'Amma... please' Raghav walked towards his mom

'Since when do you need permission to come into my room Amma' he said faking anger at his smiling mother

'Since last night😉' she giggled...

Raghav looked elsewhere and said

'Im getting ready Amma...Siya is almost ready I believe' he said by looking at her but due to his recent adventure that he performed this morning...he felt a little embarrassed to look at her face post that...he was embarrassed.

While Siya came saying 'Iam almost ready Aunty...it's just these flowers you gave..I don't know to pin them correctly 😔' she looked down

While Narayani looked at her beautiful and innocent daughter in law and smiled...she walked towards her lifted her face with het chin up...

'Come let me help you...' she pinned the Mangalorean jasmine to her hair bun neatly....Then made Siya turn arYou look beautiful Siya...The name is just perfect for you Siya... You just look like a goddess with this saree' she praised her daughter in law while she just put her head down and a small smile escaped her lips...

Raghav was stealing stares at his wife throughout the Satyanarayana pooja while sitting next to her...

Siya was worried on what's gone into him suddenly...

Raghav's intense gaze was now bothering Siya...

However Raghav's gaze at his finally broke after the pooja was over and they turned around to join to welcome Their guests...The minute he saw her...

Yes there was Aditi holding onto Naman's arm wearing a red chiffon saree laughing at his jokes partially leaning at him joined by Naman's friends...

Raghav suddenly turned serious... he realised she was happy with him.. Afterall his brother was fun, outgoing, had a lot of friends, popular amongst women...

Naman's mad laughter was to die for... Raghav's smile came once in a leap year...

While Siya came to offer Sapaath (Satyanarayana pooja compulsory prasadam) she noticed a serious Raghav and his fire gaze at someone near the door.... She looked in that direction to see her sister Aditi and her brother in law Naman...

Siya felt a little uncomfortable... Looking down she called him softly
'Raghav'
He did not respond...

'Raghavv...' she said a bit loudly...

She touched his arm... that's when he shook himself and he looked at her ..

Siya was standing in front of him with a Plate full of Sapath and a spoon...shr offered him Sapath saying
'Prasad'

He took it silently... Thinking...
'Damn... Why did I... what must be Siya thinking'

While Siya silently walked away offering Prasad to others

Siya finished offering Prasad to her parents, inlaws and finally walked towards Aditi and Naman to offer Prasad...

While Aditi came closer to Siya and hugged her...

Siya was a bit irritated till now with Aditi...but a warm hug from her sister melted her innocent heart...she hugged her tightly...

'You look gorgeous...See Mummy didn't I tell you this saree would look better on Siya than me...Green suits her personality..I'm the vibrant one ...red is more my shade...' she said...

Siya was used to her sister's self obsessive comments...But Naman didn't like it..

'Shutup Aditi...Vanni looks gorgeous today... Infact way more prettier than you' he tried to make his SIL feel good .. Naman knew this wedding was a big sacrifice for Siya and Raghav both but they agreed to it whole heartedly for their siblings sake and to preserve their happiness...they both were extremely giving people according to Naman who had a small guilt in his heart that his and Aditi's love story screwed two lives unnecessarily...

He tried convincing his dad once saying why should Raghav marry Siya...this is unfair.. to which his dad firmly replied

'Unfair is your love and what Aditi did to our reputation and your brother's heart too...but aren't we accepting her and your love'

Naman was speechless... But he knew Aditi was stubborn and wouldn't marry Raghav even if he sacrificed... so he thought being practical at once is better than getting emotional. He kept quiet.

And he was quiet till now...but he didn't like Aditi soft bashing her sister...

Earlier she was just her younger sister but now she is a daughter in law of a reputed family... Elder DIL of the Prabhu empire.

***
Raghav joined the group shortly while Siya was about to go to her mother in law to ask if there are more rituals...

That's when Raghav stood next to her. And a guy from the gang asked...

'So when's the honeymoon' said a guy from the group...

Raghav choked on the prasad he was eating... Siya just walked away while

Raghav gave a strong stare at Aditi saying

'Switzerland...it's Siya's favorite place...she told me last night'

While Siya offering Prasad to others heard it...

'What the hell is he blabbering...why is h'..oh.....' she understood the situation while Raghav's eyes still were on Aditi...

Siya was pissed off now...
'What the hell is he doing' she thought...She suddenly felt the suffocation in the air and walked off from there...

Raghav noticed Siya leaving abruptly from there...

'Damn...I hope she didn't hear me' he thought to herself but he didn't want to leave from there...

All the time Aditi was clinging onto Naman's kurta and Raghav was getting irritated at the sight of it.

Lunch was served... everyone enjoyed the lavish vegetarian Traditional GSB cuisine... Siya kept a smile plastered on her face while Raghav's eyes still followed Aditi and Naman...

The function got over and Siya rushed to their room and sat on the chair in front of the dressing table and closed her eyes...

Then she took a look at herself and wondered

'Huhhhh... you can never look like Aditi nor can you take her place in Raghav's life... but wait....did you ever wanted to take Aditi's place... Nope... Never... Then why r you feeling upset' Aditi thought to herself.

'This marriage was anyways meaningless and was only done to satisfy dad's society pressure and Raghav's grand father's ailing Heath's she thought to herself...

That minute she recalled the moment when she and Raghav took Raghav's grandfather's blessings...

'God bless you both...Now my last wish is to see my great grandchild and then the angels can take me'

Raghav and Siya both went uncomfortable and wanted to hide themselves somewhere that very minute but the thought of his ajja's death ...Raghav shouted at his grandfather to stop talking nonsense to which the old soul had smiled...

Only if he knew this marriage was a compromised setup and merely had a meaning in his grandson's life.

That's when she heard a knob click at the bedroom door and

He was here...

***
.Just when Raghav and Siya had a moment...

There's more mess...

What's about the honeymoon thing if he still has feelings for Aditi

What marriage is this.

Looks like Siya's patience is already received running out and thoughts pondering in her head
