Waiting is a kind of sweet pain... the number of times one looks at the clock rushing to the room to make sure u are still looking good if not perfect. .. then anticipation. .. n fear or say anxiety. ..
What would he say or do after meeting her after so long... That too when he couldn't keep his hands of her even after her resistance. .. is she really ready to start her married life or ... she didn't have answers to her own questions only thing that she was sure of was fights n fears can rest she was Mrs. Khurana n that was the end of her still messed up mind!
She walked into the kitchen in the pretext of helping her mother glancing at the door on the way n bumped into her dad...
Her father laughing at his daughter's antics silently left trying not to embarrass his daughter any further. ..
Being a father was a different feeling where u know u have a doll for a daughter who would be your princess whom you can pamper to no ends but at the end of the day u have to send her away to a completely new house handing her to a person whom how much ever u trust are still left with a nagging feeling deep in which would always say what if he fails to look after her what if he isn't the right choice. ..what if... there are many more what if's but when his wife was by his side asking him to let go his princess he knew it was time...
N maan was one such match he didn't want to loose for his daughter. .. he had his background check done with out the knowledge of the ladies of the house n he knew he couldn't get a better match for her...
Today the world was fast n was looking forward to the grooms earning lakhs per month or some foreign settled one who would earn in dollars but for her he wanted a family rich in values n warm by heart
Khurana sahab was well known person all around few villages n there wasn't anything negative talk about him... After being sure for himself that his daughter would be safe n happy here he accepted this alliance. ..
Geet he knew would never accept an uneducated person to be her life partner but he also knew maan would make it upto her never letting her down... He was supposed to bring her home the very next day of marriage for the ritual but wanted her to know her family her husband before he confronts her... now looking at her glowing face n all alert actions he was sure he would never regret maan... n rest of the issues were between the couple n they would sout them out on their own!
It was already dinner time n looking at her mom's damping spirits even she was feeling low... what if he couldn't make it... or changed his plan... What would she answer maa if she asks her why did her husband not turn up... excusing her self she made her way to her bedroom n slumped on the bed removing the extra accessories which she put on herself which were now annoying her!
Resting on the bed post hugging the pillow close to herself she didn't know when she gave into her tired eyes... until she was called by her maa that maan was here... Which broke her sleep... correcting her dress she rushed towards the door to go down but her steps felt too heavy to move further her quickened heartbeat didn't help either. .. all her anxiety flew out of the window leaving her trembling in unknown fear...
She walked out slowly avoiding looking at him n entered the kitchen... to help with the dishes. ... maa asked him to freshen up n join for the dinner silently gesturing her to lead him to her room...
She looked at him n walked ahead leading him to my room to which he followed. .. he walked in behind her while she moved ahead removed a fresh towel from the wardrobe handed it to him with shivering hands showing him the washroom door n quickly made an escape. ..
He came out after freshening up glancing at the room which his wife lived ... it wasn't as big as his back home but was comfortable n spacious. .. a computer table n a rack full of books of different sizes... the Radhakrishna idol in marble on one side of the bed n few of her bangles pins n stuff lying on the bed...
Not knowing where to put the damp towel he placed it on the chair near the pc n walked out of the room
Her mother was on a call with maa requesting if they could stay here for a night as they have a custom that the newly weds on their first to their house attends the temple before heading back to their house. ..n as it was already late the temple must have been closed... it seemed like there was some kind of reluctance from the other side but finally they agreed n settled the matter...
Was it tears in her mother's eyes after cutting the call that she tried to hide?
What did maa say that there was this sudden heaviness in the hall n even geet was teary!
Maa wo I'm hungry ummm... can we have our dinner if u feel it isn't too early!
Aree no no beta infact every thing is ready we were waiting for you. .. come have a seat... geet please help me set the table beta...
After seeing maa back to impress son in law mode she took a sigh of relief mouthing a silent thank you to him... to which he nodded in assurance. ..
After the dinner papa stopped him to inform him the change of plans... to which he said he had no problems with!...
Acha maa... why were ur eyes wet while talking to mom ... every thing is fine right. ..did maa say something???
Beta it's nothing y would they say something? Its just that for the first time we were asking to let our daughter to stay for one more night right... and this feeling of being detached from our daughter n relations n formalities with this marriage are hard on any parents. ..it would take time for us to accept n adjusts with the fact that our daughter belongs to ur home more now... she said ruffling his hair lovingly
Ok now go n rest u have been travelling so much n must be tired. .. geet is already in the room she must be waiting for you. ..
Hmmm... but ur sure right that there is nothing serious. ..
No beta now go n sleep... it's ur MIL's hobby to cry on anything n everything which even ur wife has inherited. .. poor u!
Now go n sleep!
Closing the door behind he looked at her who was preparing herself to bed removing her accessories. .. giving her a smile he walked towards the bed n made himself comfortable n drifted into deep slumber. ..
Leaving her all confused. .. he didn't hug her forget hug her didn't even talk a word to her after meeting after such a long time!
Was everything alright in her married life or did her behaviour pushed him to two minds?
Looking at him sleeping peacefully she covered him with a quilt n made herself comfortable on her side giving him one last glance she closed her eyes hoping for the warm rays of the sun brings few answers to her husband's silence towards her!
Silence is not only the language if love but also of upcoming strom!
Pray the wind not to be harsh enough to sweep of my castle with it!
