Rajbala OS- Saat Vachan
"Today is a big day. I wonder how I will make it." Madhu said to herself, trying to get her earrings on.
Raja had announced to the family that he wanted to make Madhu his bride once again. He wanted to take the wedding vows all over again...this time in his full senses. Madhu had froze in place during his announcement. She was very nervous about it.
"Oh my! Madhu...you haven't gotten ready yet!" Tara walked into the room.
"I'm sorry, bhabhi. I'm just very nervous."
"Nervous?! Why? You are getting married to Raja again...not some stranger." She laughed at Madhu.
"I...I don't know.." She didn't know what to say. The feeling was new to her.
"Ok forget all this. Come downstairs soon. The auspicious time is running out." Tara hurried out.
Madhu stared at herself in the mirror. She looked beautiful. She remembered when he first got married to Raja. Neither of them knew that they were getting married. Raja had the mind of a six year old then. He thought this was all a game. And Madhu thought she was marrying someone else. Neither of them knew what fate had in store for them.
Madhu was lost in the flashbacks of their marriage. Someone came and placed their hand on her shoulder.
"You look beautiful rani." It was Raja.
"Raja! What are you doing here!" Madhu turned around to scold him, but he placed his hand over her mouth.
"Shhh! I came here secretly." He said.
"Raja! Someone might see us! Go!"
"Let them see then. No one can stop me from meeting you today."
She stared at him with wide eyes. Raja smirked.
"Madhu! Are you ready!" Tara yelled from downstairs.
She pried his hand off her mouth and hollered back.
"Yes bhabhi!" She signaled Raja to leave.
"Not so fast rani. You didn't tell me how I look."
Madhu blushed. He was looking like a real raja.
"Handsome." She looked down, her cheeks turning a bright red.
"Come down soon rani. I want to make you mine again."
"Can you wait?" She teased him.
"Nope. The excitement is growing. I'm waiting for what happens after our wedding." He winked at her.
"Raja!" She blushed again.
"Madhu!" Tara called again.
"Raja go! Everyone must be waiting."
"Your wish is my command rani." He said.
Raja went downstairs quickly. The pandit called him to the mandap. Everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Please bring the bride." The pandit said.
Tara nodded and went upstairs. Raja kept his gaze in that direction. He was eager to see his rani as his bride. Dauji noticed his behavior.
"Raja...have patience. Your bride won't run away now." Dauji laughed.
"I know Dauji... but I have been longing to see her as my bride. I couldn't even acknowledge her beauty during our first wedding."
"You have made me very happy today. I finally get to see you as a groom. I thought I would never get the opportunity." Tauji placed his hand on Raja's shoulder.
"Can I let that happen? You are like my father. My father needs to be at his son's wedding." Raja placed his hand on Dauji's hand.
The sound of anklets filled Raja's ears. He turned toward the stairs again to see his rani walking down the stairs in a beautiful red lehenga. Madhu smiled to herself. Her nervousness grew as she walked down the steps.
"Here comes my rani." Raja said to the pandit.
Tara sat Madhu down next to Raja. Raja stared at Madhu, admiring the beauty that he had fallen in love with. They fulfilled each ritual with love. Raja watched his rani put the flower garland around his neck...while Madhu smiled at him while he put the garland around her neck.
"Please stand up for the vows." The pandit said.
Tara came and tied the knot for them. Raja took Madhu's hand as well.
"Raja...what are you doing?"
"Making a bond that will last forever." He whispered.
Madhu smiled. Raja looked at her intensely until the pandit began to chant the mantras.
"I want to make some promises to you rani."
"What?"
"1st vow...I promise to keep you happy...no matter what happens...I will be your sunshine in the rain."
They held each others' hand tighter, as they began the second vow.
"2nd vow...I promise to never lie and cheat others in my remaining life. I will be good to them, never hurting them."
Madhu felt the honestly in his tone. They continued around the fire.
"3rd vow...I promise to earn by working hard and honesty. I will provide an honest living for you and our baby."
Madhu saw him changing. Raja was trying to reform.
"4th vow...I promise to protect you from harm. If Yamraj comes to take you...I will stand in front of you and protect you."
Madhu stepped in front of Raja for the last three vows.
"5th vow...we will walk side by side...hand in hand...we will support each other through thick and thin."
Madhu began to tear up.
"6th vow...we will never grow apart. We will always be together and will always love each other till the end of time."
"And 7th vow...I promise to make your life beautiful. So beautiful that it will become like heaven for you. Our little heaven."
Madhu's emotions came out in the form of tears. The pheres were over. They sat down again, as Tara brought the sindoor and wedding chain. Raja took the wedding chain, smiling, and fastened it around his Rani's neck. Madhu watched him do so, newborn love kindling in her eyes. Raja took the sindoor and filled her maang. Everyone clapped.
"From this day, you are now husband and wife." The pandit announced.
Madhu was crying tears of joy...and blushing at the same time. Raja was amused by watching her. She gave him a tight hug.
"Getting impatient, are you rani?" He teased.
"Stop it Raja." Madhu said.
They stood up and took everyone's blessing. Dauji's face was glowing with happiness.
"May you have a happy married life." He said.
After taking the blessings...Raja picked Madhu up in his arms and took her to their bedroom.
"Lets close this door tighter rani." He said. Madhu nodded.
They both closed the door together. Now it was just them...and a long, happy life ahead of them...
