Sparkle in a Speck - Page 88

Woow already married..!!!

Loved the update nisha

He wore ivory dhoti and kurta, over 50 of his friends drove down with their families

The registrar arrived 3 hours after the wedding lunch, and she signed her new name

Pankaja Deshmukh

Perfect Match

There was tons of family she was introduced to over the space of three days, many of his first and second cousins were actual priests at local temples, devout and simple, his large family was a complete opposite of Indraneel from Pune.

They were given a tiny bedroom in the top floor actually 2nd floor of the historical house, over 150 years old, and had a red tile roof. There were mango trees and coconut trees in the backyard

A stream flowed at a distance, the air was moist and smelled like clay and jasmine flowers

Even the light switches were old fashioned, it rained a lot and a portion of the large kitchen was open

Women and men cooked in large open fires with thick logs consumed by the hour

They returned to the house after the registrat left

She received a grand welcome

He brother and sister were astonished by the size of the family

Indy and her were asked to place hand prints with alta by the front door, there were 10s of other faded prints

Shyam Rao explained “Only the blessed get to step into this house first after marriage”

Indraneel occasionally borrowed her water bottle and sipped from it, emptying it a couple times, his female cousins giggled and roared each time

“Oh sweet, small town shenanigans… I guess they don’t know weve shared a bed in Mumbai” she thought to herself

He was kind and polite to her shy sister

Prajakta was bullied by their Mom’s cousins in Kolhapur to do the joota rasam, and he handed over a wad of Rs.500 bills

“We don’t give her cash…” she muttered to Indy

“We do… in my family” he told her flippantly

Prajakta just hugged him tight and kissed him on the cheek

“Sorry Jeeju…” she was so embarrassed

“Thanks… that’s fine” he grinned

She was hot and bothered by it, her blouse felt constricting, she was irritated Indy was off to a great start with her cousins

The young cousins crowded “their room” and talked non stop

She felt disoriented and scared… wondered how she was going to make it as a Deshmukh bahu

Suhasini was overjoyed her match making skills had borne fruit

She brought food and drinks for her, scolded the women to quit harassing her

Kunal was sulking, he hated his Kaka and had a crush on Punky

Did not want to see them married

He had already asked if she could coach him every night

Her heart hammered, she had never thought about being in that house forever now

The flood of relatives turned into a trickle, Suhasini helped her get out her garland, and her jewelry, she wore her Aai’s Suhasini promised to give it to Manas for safe keeping

She held her face and said slowly “I am glad you married him, he is a good guy, he doesn’t like me I don’t like him most days, but you are perfect for him”

“that’s not a big vote of confidence” Punky muttered woefully

“Vy where is my stuff?” Indraneel called out from the door

He looked dashing in dhoti and kurta his teeka was fading

“Ask your wife na” Suhasini joked and signaled the women to leave them alone

Ayyo Nisha mam

Please update one more

Yes, need more.

Assli mazza to abhi bakki hai.

Want to see what the devil in Indy does now and how he will pacify Punky.

“We don’t give her cash…” she muttered to Indy

“We do… in my family” he told her flippantly

Tera mera chalu hogaya 🤣.

Let’s see when they reach to hamare!!!!

Where is my stuff ???

“Ask your wife na” Suhasini joked and signaled the women to leave them alone

The wife is waiting with her list of complaints. Finally she will also get to be alone with you.

And once you are together, Indy would no longer be interested in his stuff.

She on the other hand would want some answers, which she might never get.

“I am glad you married him, he is a good guy, he doesn’t like me I don’t like him most days, but you are perfect for him”

I like this very much.

She doesn’t sugar coat but she also doesn’t believe in dishing out about him.

Kunal was sulking, he hated his Kaka and had a crush on Punky

Crush on teacher is common but now the teacher is his kaki. Kaka bazze mar gaya 🤣.

Prajakta just hugged him tight and kissed him on the cheek

“Sorry Jeeju…” she was so embarrassed

“Thanks… that’s fine” he grinned

She was hot and bothered by it, her blouse felt constricting, she was irritated Indy was off to a great start with her cousins

Great start for Indy. He seems to have won hearts.

And this bothers punky 🤣.
