Before I start the first chapter, I am adding 1 more character-sketch as it skipped from my mind before.
Ritika Singhania: She is Navya's best friend from her graduation days. She is a very bubbly and cheerful girl. After completing her graduation, she got a job in Calcutta and got settled there. Though they were far away from each other yet they were always connected via phone and texting.

CHAPTER 1
A hustle-bustle atmosphere can be seen. The banquet was beautifully decorated with flowers and lighting. Little children were running around the stage where the bride and groom will be made to sit after sometime. The ladies were busy in gossips and were giving works to the young girls and boys. Cold drinks and snacks were served by the caterers to the coming guests.
A girl was beautifully dressed in her red-colored wedding attire was sitting in front of the mirror, aimlessly combing her long waist-length hair. The thoughts of her mother who died a year before were making her eyes blurry with tears.
"Navya, meri jaan!" Came an excited Ritika and hugged her best friend.
"I am really sorry yaar that I reached so late for your wedding but my boss is such a jerk who was not ready to give me a leave. Anyways, am so happy my jaan is getting married." She hugged her again.
Navya broke the hug with a small smile on her lips.
"Oye you are not ready yet! Chalo, when Rits is here, nothing to fear. I will make you look like a princess so that Jiju can't keep his eyes off you." Ritika nudged her shoulder with a wink but Navya looked the other way nervously.
"Woah Navya! Your hands are so damn cold. Are you okay?" Asked Rits who was making her wear bangles but stopped midway.
She could sense from the beginning that something was not right with her but then she thought it's just the nervousness of a girl on her marriage day.
"I don't know Rits. I am just scared. Everything is happening so quickly. I haven't seen the person whom I am getting married to. The only thing I know about him is that he is my father's best friend's son and his name is Anant." Spoke Navya as she shared her dilemma with her.
"What are you saying Navya? You haven't seen the one you are getting married to! Marriage is no joke!!" Rits flung her hands in the air in disbelief.
"I know Rits but I can't go against my father's wish. After Maa's death, my father's anxiety grew more for me and my future. He believes that I will be happy with Anant and I believe him." Said Navya more to herself than her.
Ritika placed a firm hand on her shoulder with a small smile.

"Sarwamangal mangalye shive sarwa sadhike.." The pandit chanted the mantras after Navya was made to sit beside Anant. He was looking dashing in a maroon colored sherwani and with a sehra covering his face. Neither Navya nor Anant could able to see each other's faces due to the veil and sehra respectively.
The pandit asked Anant to place his palm upon Navya's and as he did, he felt her hand very cold yet delicate. A shiver ran across Navya's arms as she felt his touch.
Soon Deepak was asked to do the kanyadaan and he did it with moist eyes. How his little daughter grew so much that today she is getting married. Om placed a firm hand on his best friend's shoulder to comfort him while Sugandha made a face and looked at the other side. Nimisha was happily throwing flower petals on them.
As Anant filled her mang with sindoor, Navya closed her eyes in realization that she is no more Navya Misha now, she is now Navya Anant Bajpai. Then they were asked to take the 7 pheras with 7 promises to take care of each other and household.
Anant sighed as he felt these promises are more like a part of the compromise. After all his marriage is only a compromise.
"Shaadi samparn hui, aajse aap log pati-patni kehlayenge." Said the pandit ji and asked the couple to seek blessings from their elders.
Navya cried bitterly in his father's arms. They both wished if Meeta was alive today to witness this marriage.
After the bidaai, Anant and Navya sat inside the decorated car.
Navya was sobbing still although she tried hard to stop her tears infront of the person who was sitting beside her or rather to be called now as her husband.
Anant could hear her sobbing sounds under her veil. He thought how to comfort her and then took out his handkerchief and pushed it infront of her.
Navya could see his hand holding it and turned to look at his face but just then his sehra fell down on his face which he adjusted above his head few minutes before.
She looked at the handkerchief which he was waving lightly in a gesture for her to wipe her tears with it. After a pause of hesitance, she took it from his hand and wiped away her tears. Anant could hear her sobbing getting milder now and he sighed to himself in contend.
