Thanks to all the supporters,followers and even silent readers.. I am fed up with the readings and votes..here goes my last work .. I am gonna quit from wattpad forever ..

I couldn't even prepare a cover for the os..sorry!

This one is dedicated to my jaanu anju434 , a cutie haripriya198 , and my beautiful and favorite writer and my support system Sukorian
Will miss u di..and all of u..

Hi..I am Ragini Gadodia..
When my parents told me Maheshwari's have arrived.. I felt really nervous.. Marrying someone who is a complete stranger is no ones dream I hope.. At least that was not my dreams of course..

My parents are traditional and believe in astrology, horoscope etc..etc.. And in my fate written by someone or a so called " astrologer " was that if I didn't marry before 20 years.. My marriage will never happen!

It is really funny how people go to these astrologers even now , paying them whatever they ask , do poojas and other things and decide someone's future.. I wonder how stupid is this! Its not scientific.. Its bullshit!

My parents came to know this before two days.. And the fun fact is that I am going to have my 20th birthday celebrated just after 14 days.. That means my marriage should happen in fu*king 2 weeks!!!! Arrgh.. My parents are insane..

Already when my whole friends wore modern clothes I was allowed to wear only kameez with full sleeves.. And shawl covering me completely.. I wasn't allowed to sleep after 6 am and I wasn't allowed to hangout with mg friends..no school or college tours and no sleepovers!!

"Am I even allowed to breathe? "  one day I yelled at my parents for restricting me living my life happily.. For that my daadi scolded me and my mother " Ragini..you are a girl and girls are not allowed to raise their voice in this house.. Janki.. Make your daughter understand".

I sighed because whatever I say, I have no voice and I hope even today I am having no choice than bending my head in front of a complete stranger and I have to live under his orders! Its better to die Ragini.. But I am afraid to commit suicide.. What to do??

While I was in 12th std.. As every girls do .. My friends were playing the truth or dare game.. My turn came and I chose truth cuz my friends were maniacs and might ask me to propose a guy and if my parents get to know that I will be dead!

" So ragini Gadodia.. Tell me how your future husband be like? ".

" What??" I was literally blushing because I really haven't even thought about such a topic once.. But the bell rung and our free period was over..

I reached back home and after completing my homeworks and studying for more than 5 loooong hours.. I laid on my bed and suddenly that question popped I my head..

I started thinking and thinking and I started thinking like I am gonna discover something..

I want a man who cares me..Pampers me..take me for long drives.. Ask me to wear something I like.. Allow me to talk freely.. And who is handsome.. Together we should laugh.. Spend time and be like super fun couples..

I literally slapped myself because " WTH are u thinking ragini.. A man with this complete features .. U should create some robots programmed for this.. Cuz this is not practical..."

And now I am here in my room all set for standing in front of strangers..

Smile and look down.. Don't look at them directly.. And only speak when they ask something ! That was my daadis and Maas class on " how to be in front of the grooms family! "  It was like how to train your dragon..haha but this seems worse.. Cuz u have to plaster your smile and plaster your mouth..

I really sometimes feel like getting married and go somewhere from this hell but what if that hell is bitter than this hell????

I couldn't blame my maa.. Because I know she really didn't have any voice in this house..

And here I am going in front of those people who came to see me..maa held me as if I can't walk properly and was taking me.. Yeah I did have difficulties in walking but that was due to the heavy lehanga that they have sleceted for me.. And the jeweleries..uff I can't wait to change these things...

While standing here.. I can hear people talking how beautiful I am..praising me to the core.. Uff ragu come down... I know I am beautiful.. I smirked.. And maa was talking to a women and paa to some man.. Maybe his parents..

Papa was proudly telling them how traditional and how he raised me with all the values and blah blah.. Maa was doing the same..

I could see two frets coming towards me.. Its a women's.. I was still looking down..

" Ragini beta.."

" hmm..yes auntyji"

She made me look at her.. She was smiling at me and looking me with a motherly love.. I liked her..

" My son will.." she was stopped in the middle by my mother..

She took her for a home tour.. And papa was discussing business.. Stocks..haa.. I wonder how am I going to live there? I think that aunty is fine..but this uncle is having a tough voice.. I don't even have the permission to look straight.. My neck is paining.. Haa god..for how many hours long?????

And I heard a car horn..maybe it was the groom.. By the way I don't even know what is his name! Oh god! How am I going to live there?

" The marriage is fixed " that uncle spoke and by that time I could hear my mother telling about having sweets and I understood they also agreed..but.. I didn't even see the groom..

" Ragini.. My son had to attend a meeting and that's why he didn't come today to meet you.. But he saw your picture and agreed for the wedding.. You can call me maa..". She was caressing my hair..

Now we got the real problem.. I thought at least I have a chance of breaking this marriage by talking to him.. But now even god can't save me!

First of all.. How can this marriage happen???? That too without the bride seeing the groom at least in picture..what if our tastes are not same...

What hurts me the most was I studied really hard for getting a good score in NEET entrance exam and got admission in college.. I am on my second year..and you know one thing it was my passion.. I remember how I cried hard and studied really hard to get admission here in my city itself..because I knew papa will never allow me to stay in a hostel.. And now if his family doesn't agree.. My dreams have zero value..I couldn't even talk to him..

Annapoorna maa came to me and asked me if I am ok with the marriage.. I was in an emotional turmoil.. Maa and dadi was showing with their eyes to tell yes..

I said " yes" .

I know I have no option..if its not him..someone else...and at least his mom is good.. I can feel it..

And the marriage preparation started..

You want to hear another shock?? They told me that the person I am gonna marry is someone called laksh and he is a business man like his father.. I came to know about these all from my father who went to meet him.. And..and he will come only at the date of our wedding..

That means I am gonna see him on my marriage day?? Wtf!!

So the next few days I have to go shopping with dadi,maa and ap maa.. She was so sweet and I thank her because she selected everything after asking me but I couldn't chose my reception dress according to my choice.. I wanted one and got something..that was my daadis choice and even ap maa agreed because it was the last dress and allowed daadi to select.. I was so helpless..

So my haldi dress

I wanted it to be simple.. But yet its not that simple..
Haldi was fun..what fun?? My friends enjoyed while I was just in my on world cursing my fate!!

Mehandi..

I loved this one.. I don't know why .. It was simply amazing.. Same like jewelry.. It was along with the dress.. And I didn't want to waste another couple of hours engaged in this..

My hands.. The photographer asked me to pose with this like a 100 times..and each time he was yelling smileeeee... What man? Here my life is at sake and u r expecting me to smile.. Haha.. And yeah his L was written and hidden well..because I took almost 2 hours to find his "L "

And sangeet.. Everyone is enjoying and here I am sitting and smiling like a maniac because when I sit with a gloomy face daadi will come and  tell me the guests are here and they are asking aren't you happy.. Yeah I am not happy... I am really hating all of u people..

Oops there was a shawl too..cuz my daadis gonna have a heart attack if I move out like this..😂😂😋

And finally the day arrived.. Gadodia mansion was looking so  Royal with crystals..flowers..decorations.. We are rich too.. After all my papa is a business man with a narrow mind set!!!

And I am sitting here on a room.. Biting my nails.. And my heartbeat was increasing every second..

My bridal attire..

The colour was actually selected by maa who told me that laksh wanted his bride to wear something golden.. And it was his choice..but I loved the choice too because my parents wanted something red saying its best for marriage..but this is something different and I loved it..this seems interesting.. While my dadi maa after coming to the room said " she is looking pretty janki..but red would have been better.." .

For the first time..dadi couldn't say anything to ap maa.. Cuz bridal attire always comes from grooms according to our family tradition and his too.. Haha..for the first time I loved the tradition cuz dadi maa had no voice in this!!!

My jewellery.. Uff it was damn heavy and my neck is literally paining..

And someone took me after covering me with a veil.. Uff its too hot.. And I couldn't eat anything before marriage..because of makeup, then rituals..and I am the one who is suffering..

And I tried my best to see his face..

But I couldn't..really the veil was not at all transparent..

And the marriage took place and his hands touched my neck while he removed the veil.. I felt electric current passing through my body..cuz he is the first boy who is touching my body.. And even in school my parents strictly warned against it..they r living in 16th century I hope...

While I was in 9th std while learning history and hitler.. I found out the truth.. My dadi is someone who is a close relative of Hitler...hahah..😂😂

Uff ragini focus!! Your wedding is happening and the so called rituals are not over!!

I looked at him.. The priest asked us to  hold hands stand up and take rounds..

He took my hand.. While I looked at him..awestruck! He is so handsome..OK.. For the first time.. I thank my dadi and parents who selected someone this good...

He was smiling.. His golden attire was matching with mine perfectly.. He smiled at me while I was lost in him..

The wedding took place and after all rituals.. And I was not happy..I am not sure if I miss my home..I will definitely miss my room.. That was were I was always !

It was our first night..

After a lot of teasing.. And my bhaabi who was teaching me some biology which I have already learnt but this is now giving me heart attacks..

He came in.. I looked at him and he told me..

" Ragini.. I am laksh maheshwari..I know u know that.. And don't worry..just settle your things.. And be comfortable..I am not going to do anything.. Until and unless u r comfortable.. I just wanna say that u are beautiful and I couldn't take my eyes off from you.. Good night..we will talk tomorrow..don't forget we have a reception tomorrow..".

I just blushed and smiled and spoke " haa..good night".

Oh.. He is such a cute creature.. No ragu he is a man..a true gentleman.. I am happy that this is someone like my dreams..well its the start..let's see how I get along with you..I am so tired let me also sleep..with that I too laid on the opposite side of the bed..

My day started with an awkward situation..

I thought I hugged my teddy whom I called tikku.. And I hugged my husband!!!!!!

" ragini.. Wake up.. "  someone said..

" hey tikku? When did u start talking..I am dreaming..come I love u tikku.." . I replied..

" Ragini.." Laksh pushed me away and stood up..

" don't worry..but may I ask u who is tikku?" He asked me..

" woh..my teddy bear..I am sorry! ". I closed my eyes and said .

" u look so cute.. And u r cute.." He replied and went to the bathroom to get ready..

After completing almost every rituals..it was time for our reception for papa's..I mean lakshs dads friends.. My family was invited too..

I was getting ready when laksh came to me..

" ragini.. I have something for u" laksh said giving me a packet..

I took it and looked at him..he asked me to change

While he was smiling and he is my husband I should now wear according to his wish also..but I loved it..but..

We were standing in front of the guests on stage..

My family came..

Dadi fainted..

What she chose for me was a boring lehanga with full sleeves and here I am wearing what my husband gifted me..this was something I always dreamt of.. I just loved it..so so much..

She woke up and yelled " ragini..what are you wearing??"

" dadi..what my husband wanted.." I replied proudly.. After all she only gave me classes for obeying our husband!! Hahah..I wanted to laugh but was controlling myself..

And laksh smiled and winked at me..

While the guests started leaving..

He asked me: don't you really remember me? I was waiting for you to find who I am!!

I was stuck for a second..

He..he is the same guy who proposed me that day.. While I was in 7th std..well he was in 12th though..wasn't he..

" are u the same laksh maheshwari who proposed me while I was in 7th  standard and told me that I will only marry this girl in front of me who looks at no boys..speak with no one.. And is perfect for my sanskari mom..Heina??" I looked at him innocently..

" yes angel.. And see I have done that.. Wait whoa you still remember each words I told you but not me!!! Not fair my ragu bachaa.." Laksh replied..

I hugged him..

I really loved him..in fact the whole school was having a crush on him..but after 7th I haven't met him.. And stupid me even couldn't identify him..who knew that small handsome cute boy will get matured into the most handsome gentlemen?? Haha...am I drooling over him..well he is officially mine.. I am Ragini Laksh Maheshwari..

" only u.. I have secretly seen u everywhere..". He winked at me...

Oh.. I loved this unexpected but beautiful twist.. He is my dream come true.

He is the man of my dreams.. Now its my graduation day.. And I became the college topper and officially now Dr.Ragini Laksh Maheshwari.. He was the one who encouraged me to study..in fact the whole family did.. Now I am 25..and i am still a virgin.. He wanted me to study and be someone on my own... Today I am happy I want to be his.. I want him to mark me as mine.. Naughty but cute me...hihi..

And here I am.. The real ragini whom laksh helped in discovering..
