Hai

Sorry for the late update...

Actually I will go fast forward in the marriage rituals..bcz there is nothing special to say ...

PART 10

Meanwhile all the thoughts of ishra are at the lift only but somehow they managed to get ridden of it and then next day the mehendi function was started...then came ishra..with matching clothes..all were mesmerised to see the cute couple..

Bhai..aap dono..bahot simple and elegant lagarahi ho...

Then the mehendi was finished and R was written on her hand...

Then haldi is also finidhed...and then came sangeet...couple made a grant entry ...all were just watching them...how beautiful and admirable couple...

Then sangeet started...iyers performed classical dance..followed by bala and vandu danced on some tamil song..then romi and mihir performed on the song "Punjab puttar" from two states...and at last they included all...then came ishras...they performed beautifully (not romantic) on "chaar kadam"

And all were retired to their room...waiting for the big day...next day morning...all the preperations were going on full swing...all the relatives started arrived...then the bride groom was ready..then appa went to ishihta and saw her in the bridal wear and got tears in his eyes...ishu i want to talk to u...all others left the room leaving the father and daughter...

Ishu...mujhe maaf kardo beta...me achanak ithne badi zimmedari derahi he aap ko...but ishu...raman is nice guy...dont give him punishment...for the mistake done by ur family...specially ur di and appa...

Appa...aap e sab kyu kerahi he...kya hua...??

Nahi..kuch nahi hua...lekin..me jantha tha...tum usse pyaar nahi karthi...lekin mene unki akhome tumhareliye pyaar dekha ishu...aur tum..tum...

Kya appa...boliye...na...

Vo..tum bhi...iss rishthe ko ek chance de sakhi hona...agar...nahi tho..abhi bathade...tumdono ka zindagi...ka..faisla hena...isliye...

Ishu has tears in her eyes...ha appa...me tayyar nahi hu...but...its ok appa...raman is understanding...we became nice friends...

Tho...iss rishthe ko tum aage bad sakhi hu...??

Before saying answer the bharat entered...and there is a call for appa...

Soon the bride was also brought there...all were stunned seeing the simple beauty...specially raman...his mouth was just opened out of admiration...

Then all the rituals of the marriage are started...this is mixture of Panjabi and tamil marriage...means...kandya daan (tamil) (means brides father officially gives the responsibility of his daughter to the groom)...then...pheras...followed by sindoor...(Punjabi)...then taali (tamil..this can be said as mangalsutr...) all were done accordingly...and ishus eyes were filled with tears...raman saw that..but was confused why they were for..but kept quiet...then soon all the relatives left after blessing the newly wed...

Appa: toshiji...hum kal shyaam ko reception rakh sakhte hena...matlab hamari ritual ki hissabse...suhagraat should be done in our house only..thats why...

Before toshiji say..raman interrupted..appa...pls don't mind...vo kya hena..hum kal shubha...delhi jathe hai...aur..reception delhi me hoga...kyu ki mera couligues and friends ana chatey he..aur e reception jaldi nahi hoga..kyu ki..me ek case handle karraha hu...so i don't want to expose my family now at any cost...so pls...may be after 1 or 2 months we can go for reception..i think u can understand...

Ha..beta..i can understand...our work and duty comes first..tike beta aaplog aaram karlijiye..me inthasaam karloongi kal subha keliye...

Once again sorry appa...

Koi baat nahi beta...ab jayiye aaram kijiye..raat bahot hogayi...

Meanwhile...ishitha was taken to their room which was decorated with red and white roses...with scented candles...

Vandu: ishu..acha he ya nahi...dekho...me,bala,romi and mihir...kithne ghante kaam karke..e sab arrange kiya...kaisa laga...

Acha he akka..said nervoursly..

Ishu..tum ithna nervous kyu he...sab kuch acha hoga...and she hugged her and said..all the best for your new life ishu...by saying she left the room ...Ishu sat on the bed nervoursly..thinking about her life which changed in last 10 days...tears are flowing from her eyes..

I know i accepted this marriage..but..this step...i am not ready...but no one are bothering how was i feeling...i am ready for this or not...again she thought of appas words..."isme raman ki kya galthi he...dont punish him unnecessarily..." appa is right..how can i disobey his right on me...but...I think Raman understands me and my state...if not understood...?? she could not tolerate anymore of this turmoil...of her heart and brain...so then she thought to change the dress..so she saw the pack given by vandu..so opened it...and shocked to see..a sexy nighty..after seeing that her frustration increased...and thrown the packet on the ground...by then she heard someone knocking the door...so quickly she wiped off her tears and sat there expressionless...

Raman entered the room and saw the room and admired it...then saw ishu sitting on the bed...he slowly moved towards her...her heart beat raising along with the steps taken by him...then he sat beside her...she was controlling her tears...

R: ishitha...tum change karo..iss kapdo ka thaan kabthak sehen karo gi..??

Ishitha..MU his intensions..and thought he is also not bothering my feelings...and just nodded to him..

Are ek kaam kijiye...aap yaha badal lijiye..me washroom me badal tha hu..jab aap ki kaam hojaye..aap awaaj dijiye..me bahar aunga...

Ji...

Raman went to change and ishitha also changed to her regular night wears..and all jewelary was also removed except taali..(mangalsutr) and no make up...except sindoor..and she called out raman...

Raman came out and saw her in casuals and smiled at her...actually he understood what was going on her mind..so thought to lighten the atmosphere...

Tumhari e south Indian dishes hena..kamal he...ithna..spiceless...i mean hamari punjabhi kana bahot spice hotha he...

Ishitha totally forgot about her thoughts and said..acha..humari food...health keliye acha hotha hey..aur har dish ki piche..kuch na kuch vaja hotha he matlab...for example..rasam hena...agar hum fever time pe khathi hena...hamari thabyat improve hotha he...apki punjabhi kana aisa nahi hena..

Ach..tike baba..ithna lecture dena kaha sikhliya...har baat pe aise hi lecture dethi ho...JKR..

Oye..maine kaha na JKR math bulao...Raavan kumaar...again reality hit her...

She lowered her eyes...and said...sorry wo...

Are sorry kyu bol rahi ho..ek baat bata hu aap ko...

Kya...??

Vo mujhe na ...iss sweet ishitha se zyaada...JKR pasand he..

She for the first time genuinely smiled at him...

Then he said...tum thak gayi hogi na...ek kaam karo..tum so jao..bed pe...

Aap...?? asked questioningly...

Me..yaha...couch pe so jaunga..mujhe bahot neend aarahi he...

Actually they wanted to talk but not able to talk..so silently...went to their newly allotted places..and slept...

THE NEW JOURNEY STARTS...
