Wedding Bells

9 months later....

It's going to be my wedding after two days it's been nine months since we got engaged. Maa, Papa and Astha aunty wanted us to get married early but due to my studies and his business we couldn't...

I have completed my MBA and also it's been so long since I last saw him and it was our engagement day now you might ask that don't we talk to each other so the answer is NO we don't even text each other. We are not like normal couples who gets engaged and started talking and meeting, I don't know why but he never tried and so do I.

But I guess it's alright because if he calls me then what would I say I don't know I just get really nervous around him his aura is so dangerous or maybe I have this image of him in my mind because of our first encounter.

My phone buzzed and I came out of my deep thoughts as I saw the caller's id a smile made it's way on my face instantly, it was Sana Veer's sister. She is such a lovely and positive girl...

"Hello Bhabhi, how are you?" She asked and I am sure she is smiling right now she is a fun loving girl always smiling "Hii Sana, nothing just thinking about the functions and what about you?" I asked her in the same tone "Oh nothing, Bhabhi I can't wait for your and Bhai's wedding I am so excited" she said excitedly..

"Sana, but I am really nervous" I said honestly "Don't be everything will be fine " she said "Yes, I hope so" I said but still I was really nervous.

"Bhabhi, what are you going to wear tommorow?" She asked "I will wear a saree and what about you?' I asked her "Oh nice, I am wearing an anarkali" she said happily and I smiled hearing the excitement in her voice "Wow, you will look nice Sana" I told her "Not more than you" she said and I laughed..

Then we talk about random things and current affairs after sometimes we said bye to each other. I am really tired now and tomorrow is my haldi I am wearing a yellow saree because I would be comfortable in it. I switched off the lights and driffted off to sleep...

"Beta get up it's your haldi today" I woke up unwillingly from my deep slumber because my Maa was yelling " Maa I am awake" I said in sleepy voice I just slept how this morning came so fast she came to me and hugged me "I can't believe Pakhi it's your haldi and after two days you will get married" Maa said happily but with teary eyes "Maa don't cry please" I wiped her tears and hugged her again...

Time skips------------

The function finally got over and I am really tired now the whole day I had to keep smiling and all the aunties were teasing me about him and all I could do was laugh unwillingly at their jokes.

"Di can I sleep with you tonight?" Maya came in my room and asked me "Off course Maya you can but is everything all right?" I asked her because she was sounding low "Yes di, everything is fine it's just that I want to sleep with you" she said sadly "Ok come on let's sleep then" I said cheerfully and opened my blanket we talk for sometimes and then we cuddled to sleep...

My phone buzzed and I woke up from my sleep I checked the time it was 1:00 am and it was an unknown number firstly I ignored it but the phone buzzed again I saw Maya was sleeping peacefully beside me. I silenlty made my way towards my balcony and answered the call..

"Hello" I said "Pakhi" came a strong and manly voice and I immediately recognised his voice it was him my heart started beating really fast but I wanted to be 100% sure so I asked "Y-yes who's this?" I asked a bit stuttering because somewhere I knew it was him...

"It's me Veer" he said clearing my doubts "Were you sleeping"? He asked in his usual tone but there was a bit of softness in his voice "N-no..I...I w-was..not" I said again stuttering oh god why do I have to stutter all time I talk to him "Oh, I wanted to tell you something" he said in a calm voice and my heart started beating more faster and my palms became sweaty what does he want to tell me???

"Yes?" I asked "After our marriage we will move to Mussorie, I have set up my new branch there so we will move there. Maa and Sana will live here" he said "Oh, ok-kay" I said wondering did he call me this late to tell me that we will move to Musoorie I mean he could have waited till the morning...

"Okay, then Goodnight" he said "Goodnight" I said and cut the call, now that was very strange he never even once called me or texted in me in these nine months but suddenly in midnight he is so strange...

I made my way downstairs because I was really thristy as I switched on the lights of the kitchen I saw Papa was sitting on the dining chair what is he doing here at this time? I thought he saw me and smiled...

"Pakhi, what are you doing here?" He said and tried to hide his face because I know he was crying I went to him and sat beside him on the other chair.

"Papa, why are you crying?" I asked him "N-nothing beta I am not" he said but I knew he was lying "Papa look at me and tell me what happened?" I asked him "I...I wa-as..ju-ust thinking tha-at...yo-ou..w-will be married tomr-row" his voice broke and I alse started crying silently "Beta just remember one thing I will be always there for you never hesitate to tell us if Veer mistreat you. Ok?" Papa asked and I nodded wiping his tears...

"I will and now go to sleep" I said and he kissed my forehead "Goodnight beta"he said "Goodnight Papa" I said and he went to his room I sat there thinking about future him..

How would be my life after marrigae will he understand me and my family? Will he understand my feelings? Will he respect me? Will he love me? All these thoughts were running in my mind.

I don't even know him he is a complete stranger for me and I am for him we barely talk to each other how will we understand each other? How will we adjust with each other?

He is a short tempered man and I knew this from the very first encounter but I don't know my heart says that he is a good man and hides his real face. I yawned and made my way to my room....

So, today it's my mehendi I am getting ready when my phone rang I saw the caller's name and it was Nikhil my childhood bff we were in the same school till 12th but then he went to USA fir completing his studies. Now he is a successfull surgeon and I am really proud of him.

"So, you finally got the time to call me, ha?" I asked him "Pakhi I was really busy" he said "Ya ya I know" I said "I want to tell you that I couldn't be able to attend your wedding I have two surgeries I am so so sorry" he said apolising "What but you told me you will attend my wedding" I said sadly "I know I know and I am so sorry but it's an emergency please try to understand" he said sadly and I can understand afterall he is a doctor it's his duty...

"Okay fine" I said but still I was sad "Hey, don't be sad I will meet you and your hubby after your marriage, after all you finally found someone who could tolerate your tantrums" he said "Shut up, I don't throw tantrums" I said angrily he always makes fun of me but I really missed our fights.

Then after some times we said our goodbyes and I got dressed in my attire I looked at my self in the mirror I was wearing a beautiful pastel colour lehenga with minimal jewelleries. It was simple yet elegant.

I made my way downstairs and all the guests were already there singing and dancing I sighed it's going to be a long and tiring day again....
