Part 3

~the wedding~

Tannu stood in front of the mirror watching as her best friend, Tia placed jewelry on her. She was wearing a dark red lengha with heavy embroidery. Her blouse showed her toned stomach and was backless held only by the three strings…one on the top around her neck another in the middle and the last one at the bottom of the blouse. Her dupatta was held around her wrists by her bracelets…like rani in say shava shava. Her long black hair was curled and fell down her back. She had red eye shadow, mascara and some light blush on. Her dark red bangles adorned her lean wrists. Her neck was adorned only by a silver necklace. She was wearing silver payals. Her green eyes had anticipation in them she couldn't wait till she saw her dulha, her Zaib. The last few days had been wonderful…her fear of Zaib had disappeared. They now spent every moment together…teasing each other with their eyes…hands…or sometimes running their feet over the other's leg under the dining table…which was mostly Zaib teasing Tannu as she blushed. Their nights had gone by saying good night to each other and Zaib stealing a kiss from Tannu surprising and pleasing her. After she was ready she went to her sisters in Kripa's room as they got ready by their mom. She saw her sisters looking beautiful in their lenghas…they were the same as hers only the color was different…Kripa's a green and Gauri's a light blue. She knew that Kripa and Gauri loved Angad and Shiv with all their heart. They had already expressed their feelings to her late at night some days ago. All three of their mehndi were blood dark. When their mom saw that…she told them that the guys must love them a lot…as the color was a symbol of love. She stood next to them and saw in the mirror three beautiful soon-to-be brides. They sat on the bed as their mom left them alone and started talking.

T- You guys look absolutely divine.

G- You look really beautiful Tannu

T- Thanks di are you guys ready for the big event

K- Oh my god I can't believe it we're getting married

G- I know just few days ago we were messing around like little kids and today we've become women

T- I'll miss this place…I don't wanna leave this place our sweet home and our sweet Nainintal

G- Me either

The three got lost in their thoughts and remembered their memories as little kids running around causing chaos everywhere. Soon it was time to be taken down to get married. Tia took Tannu…Tania took Gauri and Naina took Kripa. They looked up and saw their handsome grooms. The guys' sherwanis matched their brides' lenghas. Zaib was wearing a red sherwani…Angad was wearing dark green and Shiv was wearing a blue one. They sat down in the mandaps and the pundit started the wedding. They took the pheras symbolizing them staying together for seven lifetimes…the guys placed the magalsutra around the girls' necks making her forever his. They filled the maang with the red sindoor promising the girls to make their lives forever colored and never pale. [I don't know what they mean so I just made them up hope you don't mind I know they sound stupid but that's all I could think of at this moment J ]. The couples took the parents blessings and now it was time for the bidaai. The Khannas had an outhouse here and they were going there and tomorrow the parents are leaving for Mumbai and the couples will follow a week later. The girls hugged their parents crying desperately. Karan took them outside to the car and made them sit in the big limo. The girls sat next to their hubby's. Gauri and Kripa were still crying and hugging their new husbands. Tannu sat there and watched them cry…she felt sad about leaving her parents but she was also happy to finally be with Zaib. Soon they had arrived at the outhouse and did the rasams that new brides do. Now the three brides were entering their rooms.

~Gauri'~

She sits on the bed with rose petals around her…beautiful flower garlands hang from the ceiling making a canopy of love around the bed. She had her beautiful face hidden by her ghungat. The door is opened and Shiv is pushed inside…he stumbles and finally gets a hold of himself. He looks up and sees his lovely bride sitting on the bed…waiting for him. He could feel her nervousness as she played with her hands. He sits in front of her and picks up the ghungat and sees her blushing and shy face. Lifting her chin he looks in her eyes…she lowers them with shame. He laid her back on the bed and lowered himself on top of her. His hands pulled her dupatta off and threw it somewhere on the ground…he took off her earrings…her other jewelry also comes and meets with its friends on the floor. As his hands move to the blouse…the wind blows the blanket over the two lovers as the only sound heard in the room was the rythamatic beat of their hearts beating together as one.

~Kripa~

When Angad entered his room…he expected to see his bride waiting for him but the sight of his wife sleeping greets him. He walks over and sits next to her…she had changed into a silky white gown that hugged her body like a second skin. He wished he was that gown…he ran his finger down her face and when he reached her lips…her mouth opened and bit his finger. "Aaah," he said holding his finger as he watched her lips stretch in a big smile and soon her laughter could be heard. He pulled her hands over her head and lays on top of her looking deep in her eyes as her laughter died out. His hands pull her gown down as her eyes close with shame…redness rises in her cheeks as his hands brush against her chest. His hand picks up the blanket and pulls over them as they sound of their breathing becomes one and deeper.

~Tannu~

The room was decorated beautifully as expected on a wedding night. The bride was not on the bed as she should be…but she stood out in the balcony gazing out at the darkened world…lost in her thoughts. She was so happy…her dream had came true…the guy she loved was hers finally…and today he would make her his forever. She was already his emotionally and mentally…now it was time to be physically his. Just the thought of it being made her turn red. "Haye maar dala humko," a voice said. She turns and sees Zaib standing at the door smirking at her with one of his hand on his heart.

T- What's wrong Zaib? Are you hurt?

She runs up to him and starts looking him over for any sign of injury. He didn't answer and just gazed at her. When she looks up…she sees him smiling and starts hitting him. He laughs and gets a hold of her hands…he hugs her close to him. She stops and hugs him back. She places her head on his chest and sighs softly. They stand there for five minutes just hugging each other close to them. Finally the fact that it was their suhagraat settled in their mind. Tannu turned around and sits on the chair in front of the mirror. She starts taking off her jewelry but is stopped by Zaib. He turns her around so she sits on the chair and is now facing him. He takes off her earrings…kissing the ear after…and then bites it…making her gasp in pain and pleasure. Next came the necklace…he kissed her neck and bit her neckbone. Next came the bangles…he slid them all down and kissed all the way up…to her lips. He picked her up in his arms and placed her softly on the bed filled with rose petals. She now only had her blouse…skirt…payals and mangalsutra left. She bent her legs as she lay on the bed with her eyes closed which opened when she felt his lips on her ankle. She saw him take her payal off and kiss her leg. He moved upwards until he lay on top of her facing her face to face. Her green eyes stared into his golden ones as her hands were lost in his hair and she pulled him down…his lips touching her soft ones. The moonlight falls on the two lovers as Zaib pulls the blanket over them…minutes later her blouse, skirt, his sherwani fell on the floor and the only sound heard was their passion being shown to the other.

[Clears throat]  how was that? I'm not good at the romantic stuff but seeing as it was needed for the wedding night I tried my best hope you all enjoyed reading and I hope I did justice to the romance! :]
