Chapter 4
Priya's POV
I never thought the day would come when I have to marry without my Papa, My Papa My superhero. I was in the throes and splintered after him, but Harsh uncle was here to console me and hadn't left me alone even for a second.
As I will become his Daughter-in-Law, he also told me to call him Papa, which I gleefully accepted.
It's already been a month since I lost my father, and today, I am marrying Dr. Abhimanyu. We were reluctant to marry this early, but Harsh Papa wanted us to get married before going back to Udaipur. As he doesn't trust his family and doubts that they might create deterrence in our wedding if we decide to get married in front of the whole family. Furthermore, Dr. Abhimanyu can't extend his stay as his patients require his attention. So we agreed to get married before going to Udaipur.
And here I am, adorning myself as his bride. One thing Dr. Abhimanyu and I had mutually decided to marry in a temple. Then we'll register our marriage after coming to Harsh Papa's home, where Papa has already called the registrar to register our marriage. Then after signing the papers, Papa would go out with his friends for some drinks and snacks, & Dr. Abhimanyu and I would have our private party at a plush restaurant to celebrate our wedding. Yeah, I still call him Dr. Abhimanyu or Dr. Birla in my heart because I don't know what to call him as he's older than me, It doesn't feel right to call him by his name. Some may call me primitive, but that's fine, this is who I am and I don't give a damn to anybody.
He'll be MY HUSBAND, So I'll only decide whether to call him by his name or not, and I have decided not to call him by his name but by PD - a short form of Pati Dev. Isn't it cute?
I know he would guffaw after hearing this from my mouth. Ah, I can't wait to see his reaction.
But what to do with the emotions I am feeling right now? Why are the whirlwinds of emotions hitting me and brewing farrago in my mind and heart?
Hopefully, it's not anomalous to feel like this on your special day, as I don't want to permeate my mind with any negativity.
I was getting subdued by my emotions when my soon-to-be PD came to my aid. He has come here to check whether I am ready or not.
Aren't I lucky to get such a dashing Husband? ok, soon-to-be Husband. God, he looks so handsome, and the Pagdi and the Poshak he's wearing make him look nothing less than royalty. Well, I am looking no less in my mom's wedding lehenga and jewelry.
It is not that I can't afford or didn't have time to purchase it, but that dress will not have the feel of my mum and her blessing.
I was lost in my thoughts and admiring him when he snapped his fingers and brought me back to reality.
"Are you ready ? " he asked and I nodded in affirmative, feeling embarrassed after being caught salivating him.
God, he's smirking at my nervousness.
I am reeling under his gaze and anticipating a compliment, While he is busy making me feel somersaults in my stomach.

Abhimanyu's Pov
I knocked on the door of Priya's room to call her, God she is taking so long to get ready, that too when we are getting married in a simple way. What would have happened if we were to marry Grandiosely? She would have got me to wait for the whole night.
And here Papa's calling me repeatedly to check whether we have left for the temple or not.
Not getting any reply, I checked the knob of the door and found it unlocked. I opened the door ajar and peeped inside to find my bride preening herself in front of the mirror,
but,
what is this, why is there a frown on her forehead?
Is she not happy with this wedding
Before I asked her anything, she noticed my reflection in the mirror and turned towards me with a brightening smile.
God, she's looking so beautiful. She has enthralled me with her beauty.
Someone has correctly said that a woman looks most beautiful on her wedding day. You couldn't say she was the very woman you had seen yesterday.
Is it normal to start your conjugal life just after you get married? As I don't know how I am going to control myself. I am following celibacy for 6 years and didn't even feel the need to break it, but this woman, god, would make me break my own rules.
Get a grip on your thoughts Abhimanyu Birla, and don't forget in which circumstances you are getting married.
Wait why is she looking at me with alluring eyes? Am I affecting her the way she is affecting me?
My chest swelled with that thought, then I thought that before Papa calls me again, I should break the chain of her thoughts.
"Are you ready?" I asked her in a teasing tone that made it clear that I found her drooling all over me.
she lowered her eyes in embarrassment and nodded yes.
I smirked at her reaction.
She was waiting for me to compliment her but I thought to tease her a little more
I was just gazing at her when she asked me nervously "chalein?"
I just nodded which disappointed her, she was really waiting for my compliment.
She bent slightly to grab her clutch from the bed and when she turned around, She held her breath to find me very close.
"Breathe" I whispered in her ears,
She let out her breath and looked at me nervously, affected by our proximity. Our breaths were intermingling.
Then I applied the kajal pencil, which I took from her dressing table, behind her ears, took her balayeins, and did thu thu thu, which made her cheeks a shade darker.
End of Abhimanyu's POV
In Kasauli, Akshara has been feeling an uncanny emotion ever since she woke up. The feeling is like something terrible is about to happen. She checked her son and husband twice to assure her mind of their wellbeing. Then why does she feel like her world is getting apart while her world is peacefully sleeping a room away?
Perhaps she is just worried about the forthcoming custody case and getting paranoid. She thought in her mind.
Many things happened after Abhimanyu left Kairav Bhaiya's Marriage midway without informing anyone. She didn't know where he had gone and didn't feel the need to ask about his whereabouts when there were no relations between us. The only relationship he will have with my family is with Abhir and it seems he wants to deteriorate that too. He went away without informing him and her Betu was missing his Docman, But Abhimanyu didn't even contemplate his son's feelings and went away.
She was right Abhimanyu can never let anyone be happy. She was right Abhir will be hurt because of Abhimanyu, and see the same is happening as she has speculated.
Abhimanyu Birla can never change, and neither his mother.
Manjari maa has created havoc in our harmonious life.
What was the need for her to ingrain skepticism about our life in Abhinav's mind?
Akshara has confessed her love to Abhinav to remove the uncertainty he has been feeling but he's still behaving a little peculiarly.
Moreover, this custody case which Bade Papa reinstated because of his pique on manjari maa has been giving them anxiety,
"We can't lose our son, Kanhaji." She joined her hands and prayed to God, tears flowing down her eyes.
"Why Abhimanyu and manjari maa are not understanding that Abhinav Abhir and I are a perfect family why they wanted to break us apart?" Akshara stands in front of the small temple in her house. She wants her 'Kanhaji' to remove the turmoil in her heart.
She lit a Lamp and prayed to keep her world intact, But did not know from where a gusting wind arrived and extinguished the sacred lamp.
At the same time, In Mumbai
Abhimanyu filled Priya's hairline with vermillion while Pandit ji was chanting holy mantras, then Abhimanyu tied the mangal sutra around her neck, and Panditiji announced them, Husband and Wife.
