Part 6I got up before even alarm ring...
I took nice hair wash...
I came back taking back and started drying my hair...
My naughty prince was smiling at me through the mirror...
I blushed...
I finially finished drying my hair...
Then did a mild make up which dont irritate other's eyes...
Then made plait in my long hair...
I took out the new lehenga which i purchased for my wedding...
Then took out the matching jewelleries too...
I changed to the wedding dress...
Then i put the jewelleries and looked at the mirror...
As usual my prince was looking & admiring at me from the mirror...
I asked him whether i am ok with the dressing...
He express as beautiful...and wink his eyes...
Yes.. as i said.. he turned very naughty now a days turning me tomato red...
I got ready...
I came out of my room...
My parents were little emotion on getting me married as i will be going to my in law house...
On seeing them emotion... i realised... i am not only getting new relation... but also going far from my parents...
I felt a little pain in my heart which made me shed some tears in my eyes...
Finally we started from our house and came out of the house...
We arraned a taxi to reach Delhi...
Yes the marriage was arranged in Delhi...
I was restless till i reach Delhi...
Finally after few hours of journey...
We reached Delhi...
The car stopped in the entrace of the marriage hall...
I got down from the car...
I was really excited to see my Prince...
My eyes were searching from him moving left to right and right to left...
But i cant see any trace of him...
My parents came beside me and took me to bridal room...
I entered into the room and checked in the mirror and did touch up in my make up...
The time has come for me to enter into the marriage stage...
My mom came to me and put the dupatta covering my face...
Then she accompanied me and took me to the stage...
I entered into the stage and sat beside him...
I slightly tilt my face to look at him from corner of my eyes...
Oh no! But his face was covered with strings of flowers...
I really hate all these procedures which is delaying to meet my prince...
He did pooja...
My father gave kanyadhan to him..
We got up and exchanged garlands...
We took 7 pheres...
He filled sindoor on my forehead...
Then he put mangal sutra on my neck...
Yes... finally we got married...
We took blessings of all the elders...
Now i was eager to atleast look at him after this long waitng...
But to my surprise... He rushed towards his room...
I was shocked that he left me alone and went to his room...
His father... My father's MD... he came near me...
He explained that he is having jet lock as he just returned from US.. That is why he went to take rest for some time... He will be back during Reception..
I understood.. i need to wait for some more time...
I returned to my room...
I removed the heavy jewelleries and the dupatta which was on my head...
I looked at Sindoor and the Mangal sutra...
I dont know why...
But some what i was not feeling the excitement now which i was feeling all these days looking forward to this day...
May be as i was unable to see him be the reason... Not sure...
I lay down in the bed and took rest for a while...
Later my mother made me wake up and told me to have food...
She bring food in a plate and told me to eat...
I took the plate and started eating it...
Somewhere i was getting odd feeling inside...
Something is felt as wrong...
I was wondeirng why this strange feeling is there inside me since my marriage...
Again i console my heart that it is because i am yet to see my man...
After sometime... my mom told me to get ready for the reception...
At that time, a girl entered into my room who was sent by my father in law to do make up for me...
Yes she was beautician...
She started making hair style for me...
I changed to new dress...
My hair style was showing myself as different to me...
i checked with my prince in the mirror.. whether i am ok in this new sort of dressing...
As usual.. he gave his approval that i am beautiful...
I blushed...
I got ready...
Now there will be no string of flowers to hide my prince face...
So it is sure i am going to look at him...
I was getting excited...
My Mom & Dad entered into my room...
They were somewhat confused or seems to be worried...
I was wondering what happened...
They seems to be in some restless mode like unclear how to tell what they need to tell me...
I looked at them puzzled...
My mom took my dad to a side..
They were talking with each other for few minutes...
I was wondering what is happening...
Then my dad left the room and went outside...
He seems to be little upset...
My mom came near me...
My mom took me from my room towards the Reception hall...
He was standing facing someone the other side...
I slowly tip toed towards him...
My heart was beating in fast rate as i near him...
I went near him and stood beside him...
He was still busy talking to someone...
May be his friend...
I want to lift my face and look at him...
But somewhere the so called shyness was holding me from doing that...
After a while...
We were given garlands to put and stand in the stage for reception...
I took the garland in my hand...
He put the garland and i am yet to lift my face to look at him...
I finally collect my courage and lift my face to look at him...
I was shocked...
Part 7
I was shocked seeing the person in front of me...
Who is this...
I was holding the garland in my hand and was wondering what is happening...
My mom who was standing beside me came closer to me..
She told in my ears in murmering voice... to put the garland...
I was not ok with that...
She insisted to put now and assured we can talk later...
My heart broken into pieces...
I was completely confused...
I put the garland on that stranger neck...
Now we are standing as couple in the stage...
I found that MD calling that stranger as Veeru...
I was wondering why he is calling someone as Veeru...
One by one the people who came to attend the reception came to stage and photo were clicked together with us...
No... I was not even interested to include this stranger as 'us'
I was not at all feeling convenient to stand beside him...
I made some fake excuse with him and rushed towards my room...
My mom came behind me knowing my situation...
I didn't asked anything to mom...
But she understood what is my query and my tension...
She hold my hand...
Then gave that shocking news to me...
Yes... this stranger is MD's son...
Not only MD son... but my husband too...
Yes... he is the person I married in the morning...
I got tears...
My father too entered into the room..
He clarified that the photo was wrongly exchanged before it reached my father hand...
No one even knows who is the person in the photo given to us...
I was wondering when they came to know about this...
They said just before few minutes of myself knowing it...
Immediately my father checked with the person who gave the photo and got that useless reply and a Sorry...
That is what my parents were worried about before taking me to reception..
My mom console my father stating happened is happened and not to make big issue out of it which is of no use...
Anyway marriage happened with this person only...
So I need to live with him is the only solution left with my parents for me...
According to them... anyway other than the photo... nothing is changed... I am married to his MD son...
But for me...
How can I try to fit this stranger on place of my prince...
Is it even right to think him as my prince after marrying another person...
I was totally broken & confused..
I was standing speechless...
My mom took me back to stage to continue with reception celebration with that stranger... sorry now this stranger turned my husband...
Even this thinking was blocking my throat...
I was unable to digest...
Finally the reception came to an end...
We were told to have dinner...
I denied stating not feeling hungry...
My mom took me to my room...
She made me get ready in my new lehenga...
Even this new lehenga I purchased after getting my prince confirmation.. sorry.. sorry... can I tell him as prince???
Finally I was left in the room meant for a romantic night of newly married couple...
My mom made me sit in the bed...
She put my duppatta on my head and covered my face...
While going gave advise to forget everything and start the married life with that stranger.. sorry husband... happily...
Part 8
I was unable to stop my tears..
He may come at any moment...
I was wondering what to do???
Can I forget my prince & accept him...
Even the thought was giving pain...
Then what can be done...
Can I tell him that I was loving someone else all these days...
No that is also not possible...
What if he come here and...
I was finding difficult to even think...
But he got rights...
I can't even deny...
What strange my position is now...
Neither this way not the other way...
I closed my eyes...
I prayed to god to help me...
When I closed my eyes my prince was as usual smiling at me..
He came near me & wipe my tears..
I lean on his shoulder...
He started consoling me...
That is when I heard the sound of someone opening the door..
I opened my eyes and my Prince disappeared...
I looked at the door and found my so called husband entering into my room...
My body started shivering out of tension...
No... no... I can't let it happen...
I tighten my grip of my hand which was holding my knees...
He gave a weird look which was not understandable by me...
I was praying very hard... that nothing should happen...
He came near me and sat in the corner of bed facing me...
I was feeling helpless...
But the next moment... I was wondering what I heard...
He was blaming me to marry him..
Yes... according to him I married for his money...
He told he will never accept me as his wife...
He expressed I am not equal to him in any angle...
Much more... much more... much more...
In my place if anyone else getting such blame might have broken...
May be might gave started shouting back to him...
But I didn't do any such...
I was getting breathe of relief now...
I just heard everything quietly...
I can summarise he was not interested in this marriage...
Well... I am least bothered about its reason...
He finally went to sleep in the sofa...
May be might have felt tired after shouting at me for long...
I smiled and lay down in the bed...
Part 9I wake up in the morning and sat in the bed...
I looked at him...
He was in good sleep...
I really thank him by heart and got down from the bed...
I opened the door and came out of it...
My mom who just crossed that way smiled looking at me..
She came near me and hold my hand...
She enquired me whether i forgot about that photo issue and was happy with my husband...
I was not having any answer...
I just shared a weird smile and went to bride room where my baggage was there...
I went to take bath and came back changing to a normal saree...
I was feeling much relieved to change the heavy cloth to this simple one...
Of course this saree was also selected by my prince...
I smiled...
I put the sticker on my forehead and looked at the sindoor...
I wanted to have sindoor in my prince name.. but now...
Anyway... My marriage just happened yesterday..
I cant stay without having sindoor...
So just put the sindoor smaller in size and sat in the chair...
My mom entered into the room...
She was not interested to dig more and ask anything indecently...
So she just told me to get ready to go to my in law house...
Yes... My baggage was kept ready and i am also ready to face whatever my fate have decided for me...
Wont the God who helped yesterday will help me in future also...
But in what way i am not aware...
How long this will go i dont know..
I just got ready...
We all started...
I was told to get into the car where he was there...
They were thinking we are newly married couple and we will be wishing to come together doing romance...
But nothing like that happened...
we were sitting in good distance as much as possible and facing outside...
Finally we reached the big bunglow...
I got down and looked around...
It was quiet big...
As Veeru was not having mother... Some other lady took aarthi to us...
Both of us were not interested in that...
After that was finished...
He just rushed inside the house and went to his room...
I was told to enter into the house procedurally...
What to do... atleast for my parents sake i need to do all those...
Otherwise they will be worried...
Already i can see them little upset on seeing him going to his room leaving me alone in the door steps...
So i just shared a smile and entered into the house procedurally...
After leaving me in the in law house...
My parents took leave from there to Vrindavan...
Even other relatives slowly left the house one by one...
Only my Father in law was in the hall...
I was sitting in the dining hall without know what to do...
He never thought of even coming out of his room after going there...
Servants were doing their respective works...
My father in law came to dining table and sat in opposite to my chair...
He was telling to adjust a little with his son as he was in US since long and finding difficulty in adjusting to Indian culture and traditions...
I just nod my head and kept quiet...
He showed me his room and told to go to the room and take rest with him...
Rest with him... Oh God! Who will wish to go into his room...
I was really not...
Still i cant tell anything to my father in law...
So i just moved from there and went to the room showed by my father in law...
I entered into the room opening it with great hesitation anticipating him to shout at me at any moment...
He was sitting in the sofa reading some book..
I just entered into the room...
He gave an irritated look at me and continued reading the book...
I was looking around the room...
I can find my baggages kept by the servants in that room...
I asked him where can i keep my baggages...
He gave such a look as if i asked something which i should not...
He showed the last cupboard and continued with the book...
I was equally irritated...
who is interested in talking to him...
Specially i am not...
I opened the cupboard and started arranging my clothes inside my cupboard..
Each & every cloth whichever i purchased after my marriage got arranged has my prince memory...
I was remembering those things and was arranging the clothes with a smile...
Part 10I was arranging my clothes in the cupboard...
He went out of the room... May be not even interested to be together in the same room with me...
Infact i am also in same mind set...
But i got no other option also left...
I finished arranging the cupboard and went to balcony...
There was beautiful garden around the building...
I didn't wait any further inside the room and rushed to the beautiful garden...
I started walking in the grass which was giving thrilling effect inside me...
After walking for a while...
I sat in the bench like in the garden...
I closed my eyes...
Cool breeze was hitting me gently giving some sort of relief to me...
I felt little relaxed...
But in a while...
The confusions occupied in the mind...
The tears started rolling my cheeks...
I can understand i am in completely strange situation now...
I love my Prince... which i dont know any whereabouts of him...
My prince too dont know anything about me or my love...
On the other hand... I am married to a person in front of the world...
But neither me nor him is happy in this marriage...
Both of us are not even interested to look at each other...
what is the solution for this strange puzzle of my life...
What is going to happen now???
Whether i need to accept the person who entered in my life as husband...
Or in my dream land with my prince...
How long i can be in my dream land without even knowing anything about him...
Where can i go in search...
Even if i go in search... what can i tell him...
What others will be telling us...
I am a married girl... If i go in search of another guy...
What sort of name i get in this world is very well known to me...
So can i forget my prince and accept this married life...
How it is possible... As i cant even imagine him as my husband...
Moreover he is equally not interested on me...
How strange... how strange...
I felt like my head is paining...
The beautiful garden was no more giving any pleasure to me...
I just got up and went back to my room...
I lay down in the bed and closed my eyes...
I voluntarily bring sleep to my eyes and slept nicely...
But my Prince was not leaving me...
He came in my dream too with a killer look and smile...
