Chapter 12
She was not permitted to be involved in any of the wedding planning. The only thing she could do was design her wedding outfit. She was so nervous, she didn't know what to expect. It was just a week away. Two weeks ago he had announced that he was staying away from her as per tradition.
She was lying in his arms, cosying up to him. She loved to feel his naked body next to hers. Again she had begged him to make love to her fully and again her refused. Yet again she was pleasured beyond measure. She could sense tonight it was a bit harder for him to say no and he was lingering. Normally by this time he would be gone but he held on to her. She wished he would stay the night.
"Oh, I have to go" he moaned.
"You don't have to." she said, kissing him on his chest.
"Stop it you little tease. You know I have to. And I won't see you again till the wedding."
She sat up immediately. Not realising how tantalising her breast looked to his hungry gaze.
"What! Why!"
"Because that is how it is before the wedding."
"But it's not like we are newlyweds."
"We aew doing things the right way this time Aarti."
"But 2 weeks, that's too long. What am I ... I mean what are the girls going to do without you?"
He chuckled.
"All my girls will survive and so will I even though it will be hard for all of us. Now cover yourself." He said pulling the sheet over her now heaving breasts.
"I hate this. Let's not get married. You can just stay here with me forever" she pouted and hugged him close again.
"You know the old Yash would have loved that suggestion but this one wants you to be his wife, not just his lover."
"I love you for that you know. I know you doing the right thing but I'm going to miss you so much."
"I know and that makes me so happy. I will miss you too, but just think after these 2 weeks, were can be like this all night every night for the rest our lives."
"Yash" she said moving her hand down his stomach and in between kisses she said, "seeing as we are not seeing each other for 2 weeks will you give me what I want?" Her hand reaching for him and finding him erect already.
"Why are you making it so hard for me darling?"
She giggled.
"I am making it hard for me." she said
"Aarti, you are so naughty these day. I don't know what to do with you anymore. My answer remains no. I will not make love to you the way you want me till we are married." his voice was hoarse and he was quite breathless yet he didn't move as she was rubbing him.
"Are you absolutely sure about that, baby. You don't have to make love to me. You can keep the promise you made to yourself. I can do everything, I can make love to you." She moved on top of him, rubbing herself intimately against him. He moaned loudly in pleasure and frustration.
"Aarti, please."
"I want to please you. I very much want to please you." She continued her torture.
"No, please allow me to do right by you this time. I need to do this. For both of us." his resolve was weakening rapidly.
She sighed heavily and stopped.
"I hate this" she said again "But I love you, so I will honour your wish but at least I want the last taste of you if I am not going to see you for two weeks." She slid all the way down with her head under the sheet and made her his in the only way he would allow.
The girls were super excited. They enjoyed the whole wedding business. The fittings of their outfits. The shopping with their mother and with their grandparents and Aunty. But they also missed their father's visits every night. She could at least tell them that when the time was over that they would be together for good, that they would all be living in one house. He called every day at least twice and this made them happy. He didn't want them to come for the weekends as he didn't think he could resist coming to her knowing that she was alone.
He called her too, every night. And they talked for a long time and generally their conversations ended up in the kind the girls could not be privy too. And they even had some arguments. She supposed it was normal with the impending wedding. She was still very nervous about joining the Scindiya household again no matter what he or Bhabhi said. To date his parents had not come to see her.
Yash was in full swing with the wedding planning. He had invited all his business, associates, friends and family as well as her family and new colleagues. He had explained to her parents what he wanted to do for her and they had invited all their family as well. He insisted that he wanted to handle all the expenses. His parents did not expect a wedding on such a large scale but he would have it no other way.
Finally the day arrived that they would all meet at the hotel that he had chosen for the wedding venue. He couldn't wait to see her expression when she saw the grand scale of the wedding or her parents. He was nervous and excited. He was a little scared as well. He prayed that she would not change her mind. What if she decided that she still didn't trust him? He was pacing the hotel foyer frantically. Mansi and her family had been staying with her for the last 2 days and would be bringing her. She thought that they would stand in for her family. And he finally heard the commotion indicating that she had arrived and he gave a sigh of relief. His parents were waiting with him and he nodded to them.
Aarti got out of the car and her heart was going crazy. She needed to see him but he wasn't there. She was felt like she wanted to faint. She didn't even have the girls with her to distract her. They had been with their father since yesterday. She had to face his parents now. She was scared of them. Vidhi. Pankaj and Prateek were there and they were smiling. Finally she came to stop in front of his parents. She bent to take their blessings and they gave it. She felt a little relieved.
"Welcome bahu" his mother said but his father remained stoical.
"Thank you Mamaji, Bauji"
"Mamma, Mamma!" she heard as the girls came through the throng of people at the entrance of the hotel. Just the sight of them made her feel better.
"Mamma, look who came to your wedding." said Palak.
"Who my angel"
"Your mamma and pappa."
She looked at them baffled and then looked up and saw her parents. They had followed Payal and Palak through the throng of people.
She was rooted to the spot. She didn't know how to re-act. She had never thought that they would be here. How did that happen? She was so focused on them that she didn't even see Yash appear behind them. She only realised when he spoke.
"Sweetheart, your parents came for the wedding. Won't you take their blessing?" She looked at him now. She wanted his assurance and he gave it to her in the form of a nod. She bent down and took their blessing. When she raised up her mother opened her arms to her and they both burst into tears. And then it was her father's turn. Most of the people there that knew their story were in tears.
She felt a tug on her dress.
"Mamma why is everybody crying" asked Payal
"It's tears of happiness, my angel. Mummy didn't see them for a long time." said Yash.
"Oh" she said, still clearly baffled. But her little comment, broke the tension and made them laugh through their tears.
Aarti went to her room and would later catch up with her parents. She sat down on her bed and took out her phone. She typed.
"I love you so much. Thank you."
She received a text back in seconds.
"I live to make you happy. I love you, Mrs Scindiya."
She hugged the phone to her and smiled.
They went through the rituals in a daze. She felt like she was an outsider looking in. She saw people that she didn't see in years. She was over the moon to see Prashant there as well and she made a note to thank her husband for that too. She tried to catch up with her parents as much as possible but it wasn't really the time and place. That was for later. She was so happy to see her sister. She was so gorgeous and all grown up. She had really missed her.
Finally the day of the wedding arrived. Mansi, Paridhi and Vidhi were in the room helping her get dressed and do her hair and makeup. They were having a fun time, making her blush with all their suggestions of what was going to happen on the wedding night. There was a knock on the door and Paradhi opened it. It was her mother in law.
"I would like to speak to Aarti alone." She said and they left.
Aarti was nervous. She expected a tongue lashing.
"Aarti bahu, I can see you are nervous and I understand why. But you don't have to be. I hope someday you can forgive me for the way I treated you and would like to ask your forgiveness for judging you so harshly before even knowing you. The fact that my son loves you so much should have told me what your character was. I really admire you for the strong woman that you are, for standing up to us and for making a home for your daughters despite your circumstances. I look forward to welcoming you back into our home."
"You are forgiving Maji and thank you. Your words mean the world to me."
"Here, I have something for you. This jewellery was always meant for Yash's bride but you didn't get to wear it the first time, so I would like you to wear it now, please."
"I will be honoured, Maji"
G3 took off the jewellery that she was wearing and helped her put on the ancestral jewellery."
"Thank you" Aarti said when she was done.
G3 touched her check. "You look beautiful. Thank you for making my son happy Aarti. You did what none of us could do for him. You healed his heart and gave him trust. He never had that since he was born."
"I love him, Maji"
"I know and he loves you too. And my prayer is that you two will always remain this happy."
They hugged and G3 left.
Finally she went to meet her groom. When she saw him sitting there waiting for her, he breath caught. He was truly her handsome prince. He looked nervous but when he saw her, he looked relieved and then happy. His smile stole her heart again.
She looked more beautiful then he could've imagined. His, bride, his wife, his everything. He was tempted to get up and run to her and kiss her, but that would not have gone down well with this traditional crowd. The look of love and adoration on her face was evident and his heart swelled. To think he almost lost her. He thanked God every day for giving him a second chance with her. Her heart was so big that she could forgive years of pain and heartache and let him back in and now she was going to be his again, and this time forever. He would spend his life making sure she was happy and knew that he loved her.
He held her hand through most of the proceedings and finally they were married and took their elders blessing. The party started and he couldn't wait to dance with his wife. They had barely talked to each other in all this time.
"Care to dance, Mrs Scindiya"
"I thought you'd never ask Mr. Scindiya"
He held her tightly on the dance floor.
"Yash, what will people say."
"Whatever they want to. You are my wife now and no one will separate us again."
She snuggled closer to him.
"I missed you" she said.
"Me too, so much."
"Yash. I had no idea that you planned such a big event."
"Did you like it?"
"I was a bit overwhelmed at first but yes, I loved it. Thank you."
"Are you happy, my love?"
"Ecstatic, and you?'
"Same. There is only one thing that can make me happier and you know what that is."
"I'm sure I don't know what you mean" she said feigning innocence.
"I can always show right here" he said, his mouth coming closer to hers.
She buried her head in his chest and said,
"Don't you dare"
He chuckled. "Fine, but I won't spare you later."
"I will hold you to that" she said and she walked away as the song ended.
Finally he was carrying her off their room, after the rituals were done. It seemed to both of them that it took an eternity. He was sorry now that he arranged such a big wedding, had it been a smaller wedding, they would have been happily in their room already. As he wanted to close the door, the two munchkins appeared. He put Aarti down.
"Pappa, we want to sleep with you." said Payal.
He could see Aarti's heart melting with these two, but he was a desperate man. He was not planning on sharing her with anyone tonight. Not even with them.
"No sweethearts, you can sleep with Vedhika and Vendant tonight and tomorrow Mamma and Pappa will take you to the beach and for ice-cream. And I will buy you any toy that you want"
"Really pappa?'
"Yes, really, now go to bed. Love you. They both kissed them."
"Bribery and corruption, Mr Scindiya?' she laughed.
"Anything to be alone with you, Mrs Scindiya"
He moved to her and she waited for him.
"Have I told you how beautiful you look today?"
"A few times, but I don't mind hearing it again."
"And have I told you how happy I am and how in love I am with you?"
"That too I will never grow tired of hearing."
He kissed her.
"Yash, help me get out of these clothes and jewellery."
"No, not yet. I want to make love to my bride. I want make love to you exactly as you are now."
He led her to the bed and made her lay down, lifted her skirt and pulled down her underwear, and discarded his bottoms as well. He stood over and he touched her and gasped as she was already soaking for him. He didn't need any further invitation to plunge into her and after just a few thrusts they both reached climax. His eyes never left the face of his bride.
Afterwards he helped her take off her jewellery and clothes. And they went to take a shower. They washed each other, each trying to make the other lose control with their action. Finally he couldn't take it anymore and he slammed her into the shower wall, lifted her leg and entered her with a hard thrust. She had to hold on to him tightly as her other leg had pretty much turned to jelly as she was enduring his sweet punishment. His lips devoured her breasts and then he carried on driving himself inside her with force, he kissed her as much to silence her screams of passion as for enjoyment. She finally reached climax but he held on. He lifted her completed now and she wrapped her legs around him and he continued his violent thrusts, much to her delight and amazement. She loved his desperation for her. It might not be their first time but this violent desperate love making was a first for them. Sher responded in kind. She met his thrusts and she dug her nails into him, she stopped her own screams now by kissing and biting him in the neck and shoulders. Finally they were done, she was clinging to him and he leaned into against the wall, tired and happy.
They got out and he dried her and they got into bed, it was a long day and they quickly fell asleep in each other arms. A moment that they had been waiting for so long.
