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...
