Hi lovely Swarginiyans,
Tried to add this update in a different style. Hope it received well.
Part 3
Swara's POV
Shaadi ek attut bandhan jo do pyar karne wale ko Saat janmo Kai leyeh ek dori se bandh dalta hai. Magar meri yeh kessi Shaadi, na mein inhe pyar karti hoon na vo mujhe. Hum ek dusre ko jante bi nahi.
How I wished I had not come back to Kolkatta this week and stayed in Mumbai. How did my life take a 360 turn. The rebellious Swara Garodia who had fought with her Maa Papa to let her study out of state didn't even put up a fight when it came to whom she was getting married to.
What could I have done Ragini needed me. She was clearly head over heels in love with Lakshya. Her Papa has mentioned that her saying no to marry Lakshya's cousin Sanskar would mean that the Maheshwari could possible reject the idea of getting Ragini married with their son.
So here I was with no choice being lead to my husbands room post the quick wedding. I still wonder why Sanskar didn't put up a fight. The same guy almost killed me for plucking a rose from his garden didn't express any feelings when asked to marry me. We both knew he hadn't really filled my mang with Sindoor, it was all Ragini's perspective.
As soon as Sujata Aunty closed the door of his room behind her and asked me to wait here I gathered up all my courage and told her how I should be going back to Mumbai tomorrow. My finals were starting next week and if I didn't give my final it would mean a completed waste of a term. First she told me off for calling her Aunty and then just like any other mother she sat me down on the ginormous bed in the center of the room.
She sat next to me and held my shaking hands in her hands and told me how she would talk to her brothers-in-law, DurgaPrasad Maheshwari in the morning. It seems as the whole family could not even breath without the permission of the head of the family.
As my mother-in-law left me she squeezed my hands to reassure me that everything would be ok.
I thought that as soon as my mother-in-law had departed the room Sanskar would make his presence known. But he spare me that much time to find my clothes that had been deliver right before I got here.
There was no way I was going to stay in these wedding clothes and wait like a obedient wife for her husband to come and claim his right over me. But some how the thought of that stirred something inside of me. What would I do if he would want me to oblige like a dutiful wife.
I decided to ignore that thought and proceeded to change my clothes. As I finished putting away my wedding sari my husband of a few hours finally makes his appearance.
"Swaraji, are you ok?" He asked as he approached me. "Mom told me to let you know that Bade Papa has agreed to let you go to Mumbai tomorrow to give your finals, but he wants you to transfer to Calcutta University to finish the rest of you courses"
Some how as he tells me this his eye flutter with each word he says. Some how reminding me of a small child being asked to recite what they had just read in school. I watched him not once look at me directly as he finishes talking.
He moves toward his armoire to pull out his night clothes and as he walks to the adjacent bathroom he says "Mom also told me I have to share everything 50/50 with you. But don't go near my rose again. Okay?"
I did not know what to say, all I could do was agree with him on not going near his roses. What confused me the most was where has the angry young man gone. Why was he acting like a small child doing everything his mom has asked him to do today.
"Why are you still standing there?" He says upon his re-entry to the room. He walked towards the bed, pulled down the covers as he got into the right side of the bed and said "Mein right side pe sota hoon. Agarr tum left pe so sakti ho to acha hai, Nahee toh I'll have to ask mom to arrange a new bed for you in this room. But for tonight please sleep in the left side." Not hearing any reply from me he pulled the covers closer to his face and whispered "Goodnight, sweet dreams"
"Goodnight" I mumbled back as I also drifted off to sleep thinking so what at least for a week I can enjoy the last bit of my old life.
End Part 3
Okay lovely people. Here was part 3. Not sure how you people will like it. Will do a Sanskar POV. But not in the very near future. There is just too much of him that gas to be disclosed before a full fledge POV can be done with him. Let me know how you like this part. Will try to update soon but will definitely update my other duct before this. Aiming to update them alternatively ever other day.
