Part 17
Meher woke up with a very queasy feeling in her stomach. It was her marraige day. Meher did not remember ever feeling so nervous and excited at the same time. She was lost in the thoughts of Preet and their new life ahead while Heer helped her get ready. She was dressed in a red bridal lengha and really heavy jewellery. Meher was looking absulutely beautiful and her face was glowing like the moon. Meher had her eyes lowered shyly as Heer brought her to the mandap. Preet's mouth nearly flew open at the sight of Meher. When she finally came and sat next to him, he still could not take his eyes off her. His lips curled into a smile and he sent silent thank yous to God the whole time. Meher could feel her cheeks growing hot and it was not because of her heavy clothes. She wished Preet wouldn't stare at her like that in front of everyone. She finally gathered the courage to look up at him and saw him wink then smirk at her. He could always lighten the atmosphere and Meher choked back the impulse to laugh. She felt his hand find hers and gave him a what-will-people-think glare before releasing it. Preet tried again and this time he kept it pressed down under his grip and Meher also stopped resisiting as there was no point. Both of them were broken out of their reverie as they were instructed for the pheres and teh rest of the marraige ceremony.
Meher and Preet were now a married couple!!! They both took everyone'e blessings and there was some more post-marriage ceremonies before finally both of them were allowed to go to their own room. When they were finally out of sight of everyone, Preet surprised Meher by picking her up in his arms.
"Preet! Kya kar rahe ho,"
"What do you mean kya kar raha ho? Apni biwi ko uthake leka ja raha hoon HUMARE kamre tak."
"Haan lekin.. sabke samne ..?"
"Meher yahan koi nahin hain aur agar hoga bhi toh mujhe koi farak nahin padta,"
Meher just stared at him in shock as he walked really fast to their bedroom.
"Haan lekin tum itni jaldi main kyun ho. Dheere chalo nahin toh main ghir jaungi," Meher pleaded.
They finally reached their bedroom and Preet set Meher down on their bed.
For a few minutes they leaned on eachother. Preet laid his head on Meher's shoulder and they both clasped hands.
"Meher mujhe toh yakin hi nahin ho raha.." Preet said suddenly.
"Kya yakin nahin ho raha Preet?" Meher asked.
"Kya humari shadi sach mein ho chuki hain?"
"Haan," Meher said shyly then looking straight into his eyes.
He moved forward and slowly brought his own face closer and until their lips finally touched. Both of them had never felt this way before. The kissed softly and then more passionately as they let their emotions start flowing freely. Meher could feel the effect she was having on him as his arm wound around her waist tightly. Meher broke away to catch her breath and almost shivered as she felt Preet's lips leaving a trail of kisses down her neck then collarbone. Preet leaned closer into her and she fell back on the bed under his weight. Their eyes met and Meher could feel herself burning under his intense gaze. Preet lowered his eyes to her lips and kissed Meher even more passionately then before. She tightened her hands around his neck and hugged him tightly. Preet removed Meher's necklace and kissed her passionately on the back of her neck. His hands continued travelling down her lower back to the strings of her blouse and Meher took in a sharp breath.
The night passed on and Meher slept peacefully in Preet's arms. The moment could not be more perfect for both of them...
