Chapter 2
She bent and kissed his forehead lightly. "Mein tumhe chodkar kahin nahin jaa rahi
Prithvi",she said squeezing his hand,
"Kahin nahi."
She said this to him for she understood how much he meant to her.
She covered him with a blanket and left.
The next day...
Preparations were on for the impending pag phere. Meera couldn't stop being
contemplative about her concatenation with Barahgaon and Prithvi. She looked into mirror and sighed. She looked beautiful and adorable in a pink saree with matching jewellery.Taking a bit of sindoor she applied it in her maang. She was about to get up when Sunehri came running in.
"Di, you are looking so beautiful! Prithvi won't be able to take his eyes off you," giggled Sunehri.
Miu remembered the last night and smiled. She was falling in love with him.
"Oohho, you are blushing," Sunehri shouted.
"Hey its nothing like that!"
Meera tried to cover up the topic and asked Suni what she was doing in her room.
"Actually mother asked me to give this to you"
Sunehri gave her a gold necklace and made her to wear it. Meanwhile Prabha came
in.
"Meera, lets go. Everyone is waiting for you," Prabha said smiling.

The haveli was buzzing with noise and music.The village women joyously sang songs for the newly wed couple.
Prithvi and meera were sitting in the middle while the villagers surrounded them.
On one corner of room sat Lakhan looking at the couple with heinous intentions.
Prithvi looked at his dulhan from the corner of his eye.
'She is looking so beautiful!' He felt he could stare at her like this forever. He felt sudden closeness with her.
He tried to shrug off those thoughts.
Its not possible.
His expressions changed when he remembered the promise given to Sudhaji.
Suddenly everything came flooding to his mind-The promise, Data Thakur, Meera's sacrifice. Meera was already engaged to a guy,Akash, and yet for her parents' sake she had married him.
He thought of the days when meera had arrived in Hardoi and he had helped her to reach Barahgaon.That time they were strangers.
Later on as the days passed, their hatred towards each other increased to such a great extent that they couldn't stand each other's presence. They despised each other so much. And here they were today, inspite of their differences, together bonded with each other by marriage.
Meera looked at Prithvi. He seemed so lost in thought.
But then he looked at her straight in her eyes.
"Look how much in love they are. They cannot take their eyes of each other,"
Jeevanlal's mother said smiling.
They both realised what was happening around them and quickly looked away from each other.
Miu's gaze shifted to Bitto. She wondered how she was going to answer the millions of questions which were popping up in her mother's head. She had absolutely no clue about how she was going to convince her mother.
Later on...
Meera and Prithvi were escorted to their home. Meera gasped seeing the ornamentation of the room. The walls of the room were painted with vibrant colors.
The four-poster bed decorated with flower chains hanging loosely with the bed sheet showered with rose petals. It was her suhagraat.
Oh My God..!
They were alone now. Meera looked at Prithvi hoping some comment on this new development in his house. She got nothing.
Prithvi was shocked to see all these things. He didn't know what to do.
Agree they were married before the village and panchayat but the marriage was an arrangment between him and Meera. Meera had married him only to unite her parents. Infact he was never considered in this whole equation of relations. He knew that she would never accept him as her real husband even when he wanted her to.
Prithvi turned to face a dumbstruck Meera.
She looked at him,confusion clearly visible on her face. Her effoers to read his face failed miserable. She wanted to know what he was thinking. She wanted to know his feelings.
As if he could hear her thoughts, he came close to her, way too close. Prithvi pulled her, his left hand on her waist.
Miu found herself breathing faster, her heart thumping fast that it could jump out anytime. Her brain couldn't function properly as his scent filled her already befuddled mind. Meera's thoughts were in chaos and running madly in the wrong direction.
His mysterious eyes bore into hers. He pulled her even close, her face just few inches away. Her face turned the shade of darkest red ever seen. On instinct, she closed her eyes. She could fell his heavy breaths on her face. Prithvi looked as she closed her beautiful eyes. He inched closer to her, his lips over her right ear and whispered.
Meera's heart skipped a beat as his beautiful voice filled her.
"Meera, this marriage is an agreement. Nothing more."
Saying that, he walked past her, took another mattress and spread it on the floor.
Meera couldn't utter a word.
Prithvi was oblivious of last night. He was really asleep when Meera had come to him and kissed him. Needless to say Prithvi was completely unaware of Meera's developing feelings towards him.
