Dawn.
Anjali was trying to keep the environment happy and cheerful. Happily teasing her new bhabi and her younger brother, trying to lift the heavy cloud that was darkening the ambiance.
She had learnt the truth about the marriage shortly after he said yes. Anjali knew that this wedding was not a dream come true, neither was it everything a girl would wish for, and as much as she protested her chotte was adamant, he was not taking no for an answer.
Glancing at her brother he saw relief but still his features were painted with a tinge of unease. She knew that now he was having some sort of regrets. But it was all too late. And then her eyes rested on her new bhabhi.
Khushi's eyes flitted from one family member to another as she bid adieu to her own family members. There was a hint of a smile on Bua-jis face, which she was trying hard to ignore. But the thought that her Bua was happy now that she was gone hurt, and it hurt deep.
She didn't cry her tears were run dry. She had cried too much the night before, crying for her terrible set out fate, but today her tears were not going to run, especially not for the family that happily gave her away to a man she only had glanced at and that too on her wedding day, when the rishta came she was too shy to look up. And before she knew it there was a yes and the wedding had happened faster than she could blink.
Her husband took her hand and she bent down to take blessings but stepped back when their arms were held out for a hug. She wasn't going to get tangled in weeds again, she was going to leave and make a life with her husband. Even though she was given away freely she knew how to make herself happy with the smallest bit.
Stepping over the doorstep she did not glance back, instead she looked ahead, head held high.

Arnav looked at her newly wedded wife. It was no doubt true that when he set eyes on her he had been in awe of her radiance. Her beauty composed of her innocence and naivety.
There was something else he couldn't quite put a finger on, but today he saw it in her eyes. That inner strength. She was a silent fighter, she didn't need words or weapons to wager a war, and she had it all, in her eyes.
Those magnificent hazel orbs that changed shades according to her turmoil. Today as he tied her mangulsutra he saw they were the deepest shade of brown, her pupils small she blew him away. But it was all just attraction; he had felt that countless of times. But there was something, which held him captive. And as he took her hand he felt her tremor but then there was that stubborn chin, which was set steady, but he knew that her tears were on the brink.
Smirking to himself he realised how transparent she really was, there were no walls. Everything was laid bare, exposed.
Putting her into the car he noticed she did not wave, she did not cry she looked at her hands her eyes following the intricate mehendi design. Unconsciously Arnav melted. The first time ever he melted for anyone was his sister, and today a corner of his solid heart thawed. So he took her hand for the second time, his finger feeling her wedding band against his own and even though he did not understand but a current went through him, a feeling of warmth expanded his chest.

Khushi's heart was burning, she noticed the glances her sister kept sending her husband of four hours, yes she was naive, yes she was innocent, but those looks. There was something about them that were not right. Her sister who was supposedly happy married to the younger brother. The brother who was happier, friendlier and on general easier to get along with. Through out the whole wedding process she seemed to see more of Akash then anyone else. Hence she picked up on his qualities, but even below all that she knew there was something dark. Something he wasn't going to share.
And then when the man took her hand she married a couple of hours ago she felt at ease. There was something about that hand and the feel, the way it covered her own small ones, the way his fingers seem to clasp her palms. Something was just right.
Looking at him she gazed at his profile. There was no question to how handsome he was. Hair coloured to the darkest brown and she stifled a smile as she saw wisps of dark locks falling out of the well-placed gel. His eyes were the colour of warm honey, set with dark curved eyebrows. Eyelashes long and dark and then that aristocratic nose set above firm lips. Sighing she knew that no doubt her husband was very handsome.

Hearing her sigh he looked to his right and his own eyes held hers captive. They were not brown anymore, rather a touch of hazel mixed with shards of green. Comfort. That's what that look said to him, relief, comfort, ease. That is indeed what it said.
"I know, today has been hard but it will all get better" He told her, his voice lighter than a whisper.
"Thank you" She responded, and that too in English.
If Arnav was shocked he did not show it, it shadowed his face and then passed but he was. He expected her English to be minimal and education to be very limited as far as her sister had dictated.
But she knew it, clearly her English was better than most. And he felt proud, but cross, why would her sister fill his ears with lies. He shuddered as her intentions clouded his mind. She was horrible and deceitful why his poor simple brother had not picked up on it was beyond him but he knew he couldn't be the one to break it to him.

Well hey there folks! Yes believe it or not I am leaving it there. I know its sad but I had too, this maybe a short update but I am not willing to rush this at all. I want to pace everything out. And it may seem that they suddenly have feelings for each other. But it needs to develop. Sorry if it was a crappy part.
