Hellooo.. Dear busy busy yet lovely readers.

Iam seriously trying to end the book but i cant even get proper formation of sentences. Iam feeling like u will get more bored gradually.. So i waiting for the mood to come. I wont pressure my pea nut brain much. So from now onwards updates will go with regular tuesdays as most of u people opted for that only..

Sorry if i disappointed u..

So.. Just move to our story..

Swetha pov..

Next day.. I woke up but unable to move.. I was held tightly by rakesh.. I smiled and tried to remove his hand.. but he is not at all loosening his grip..

Is he awake..??

"Rakesh.." i called him.. He is not moving..

I tried to remove his hand. But its not possible for me..

"I know you are awake.. " i said..

He is not opening his eyes..

"I know for sure that you are acting.. " i said.. But still he didnt budge..

I went near his face and blow air on his eyes..

His eyes stuttered..

I know mister rakesh.. U are awake.. Wait let me see how long you will stay like that..

I moved my lips towards his forehead then came downwards towards his lips.. Then moved upwards towards his nose, i kissed his nose then bite it..

"Ahh.. " he screamed and pouted rubbing his nose..

"Haha.. " i laughed at him..

"you!!" he stood..  I continued laughing..

He pushed me to lie on bed.. He came upon me..

I stopped laughing.. Fear occupied..

"Please.. No.. " i said..

"you are laughing right.. Come on laugh now" he said holding my both hands with a smirk on his face.

" no.. I wont" i said.. He moved his head downwards..

I was looking in to his eyes.. His gaze moved on to my lips..

"Ahh" i screamed lightly with pain.. He suddenly withdrawn and worry occupied his face..

"What happened.? " his smirk changed to worry.

"Nothing.. Its just paining" i said looking at my hand.. He held my hand where the abrasion was..

He got startled and withdrawn his hold.. "ohh.. So.. Sorry.. "

I sat and adjusted my saree "its okay"

There was a knock on the door..

We looked over there.. Rakesh went to open the door.. I stood and adjusted my hair and saree..

Namitha parents came inside saying " Rakesh we heard there was an accident.. How are you both?"

"We are fine uncle.. Its just minor" rakesh said..

"Take care beta.. " they said to him and then looked at me.. I smiled at them.

They went away..  Rakesh went to varun room.. Namitha came to our room, sitting on the bed she asked me. " how are you swetha?"

"sorry namitha.. Yesterday i just was not in my right mind" i said feeling embarrassed.

"okay yaar.. Leave that.. I want you to be happy" she said. i smiled at her.

"Come abhinav came.." namitha said..

"Abhinav?? " i looked at her confused.

"Vaishali's husband!!! .. " she exclaimed

"ohh"  i said realising.

"okay.. Get ready.." namitha said while stamding.

"Okay bye.." Saying that i closed the door and went to freshup..

I wore a elephant gray straight cut top with a pink full hands over coat and pink palazzo..

Just while iam braiding my hair, rakesh came..

He looked at me.. His lips went straight..

What?? Whats that expression.. I looked down and turned to look at mirror then looked at him..

"sorry.. Swetha.. But i dont like that outfit.." he said..

"what!!" i exclaimed.

"really.. I dont like that outfit.. Its not that it didnt suit you.. Its just i dont like that much" he said without any expression.

I pouted and looked in the mirror again.

He came near me and said placing a hand on my shoulder "you dont need to stop wearing it.. I just said what i dont like"

"but you never said what you like" i asked him turning towards him.

He smiled "i like you"

I blinked my eyes..

He tapped my forehead and went to washroom to get ready..

Isnt my outfit good?? I looked my outfit once again in the mirror.. Its good.. But..

The person to whom i want to look presentable doesnt like it.. So why to wear it?

Hmm.. I too lost interest in that outfit..

I took a half saree violet lehenga with golden border and violet blouse and turquoise dupatta..

I wore it in South indian style and looked at the mirror.. Meanwhile He came out and looked at me.. He smiled widely and said " loved it.. Thank you". i too smiled blushing.

I was keeping my bindi.. Then I again started braiding my hair as it got disrupted while changing my dress.. He was fully dressed with white collar neck T shirt and light blue jeans..

We both went down.. Vaishali is sitting beside a person.. They are looking like perfect pair..

She looked at us and signelled her husband to look at us..

He smiled looking at me..

"hi swetha.. I hope rakesh is fine with you" he said..

I nodded and smiled looking at rakesh.. He too smiled at me..

"Hi abhinav.. Nice to meet you" i said..

"come lets have our breakfast" vikranth shouted..

After having breakfast.. All went to practice dance.. As abhinav also came.. They started to practice group song..

I and rakesh too joined to practice with them.

"Hey.. Will u be able to?? I mean yesterday there was an accident.." varun asked looking at both of us.

"Hmm.. Yah.. Its okay.. We are fine.. I dont want namitha to loose in sangeeth ceremony.." i said.

Namitha smiled and said thank you..

"Okay.. Come on start.. " prita called us.

They started music..

Whole day it went with practicing..  After that, Rakesh and i practiced lungi dance song then i came to get fresh up.. While rakesh stayed there to dance for their trio song..

After wearing night dress.. I felt full body pains.. I took a pain killer that was prescribed by doctor yesterday..

Then went in to sleep.

......

Next day i woke up to the ring of my phone..

"hello.." i said..

"happy bday sweth!!!" avi literally shouted at me..

"Thank you avi" i said smiling.. I turned to look at rakesh.. But he is not there beside me..

"its ur first bday since ur marriage right? Whats today's special.??" she asked me..

"Actually he dont know.. That its my bday" i said with sadness..

We just started talking.. We never talked about our bdays.. How come he will know about my bday..

"ohh.. Sorry" she said..

"But its okay.. We will celebrate my bday next year grandly" i said..

"I think some one is coming.. Will talk to u later" i said

"Ok bye.. " aaying that i cut the call.

I stood to look at the door.. I looked at the clock.. Its 8am.. OMG.. I slept for long..

I got another call.. " ammi!!"

"happy bday beti" ammi said.

"thank you maa.. " this is my first bday with out my parents.. During my college days, i used to come home for my every bday. I love to spend my bday with my family.

"Wait your appa wants to talk to you.. "happy bday beti..

" Thank you appa.. I miss you both"  i said.

I heard a sound again.. Its from washroom..

Oh.. So rakesh went to have bath..

" we too beti.. what are you doing beti..?" appa asked

"I said na appa.. I came to rakesh friends marriage.. We are at pune.." i said.

"Ohh.. Very good.. Enjoy dear.." appa said.

"Haa.. Appa.." i said smiled.

"Appa.. I will call u later.."  i said thinking of getting ready.

"Okay beti.. Take care.. Call us when u are free.. " appa said

"Ha.. Appa bye.. " i said cutting my call.

The door to wash room opened.. He came out smiling at me..

"Woke up?? " He asked me with that everlasting smile, i always loved to see.

"U should have made me woke up.." i said getting up from bed.

"Yesterday was too hectic for you.. So i dont want to disturb u from sleep.." he said rubbing towel on his hair.

"anyways.. Get ready.. Every one is waiting at grooms stay place.. Decorations are going on.. We have to go and participate right.." he started buttoning his shirt.

"Yah.... " i nodded feeling sad that my bday is happening with out my family.

Its okay swetha.. Rakesh is ur family too.. Infact he is ur family..

" i will wait in varun room.. After u got ready give me a call.. " he said and went out.

"Yah.. Okay.." i said lazily.

I got up and had head bath.. I dried my hair.. Then wore a skyblue bandhani saree with dark blue border.. I let my hair loose.. Kept bindhi and sindhoor on fore head.. I changed my ear rings to large hangings..

I gave a call to rakesh..

He came..

"I want to go to temple.. " i said..

"why.. Suddenly?? Any festival today??" he asked curiously..

"No.. I just want to go to temple.. U go and help with decoration.. I will come after visiting temple" i said.

"heyy.. Its okay.. I too will accompany u" he said.

" no problem.. It will be useful if u help them.. I will just come quickly" i said but inside i want him to come with me.

"no.. Swetha.. I dont want to leave you alone.. What if the same thing happens again.." he sound worried.

"okay" i said feeling happy.

We started walking to the near by temple..

"By the way.. U look different.." he said with a smile of his face and placing his hands in his pant side pockets.

" Different in the sense.." i gave him a confused look.

" Looking more good" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"thank you" i said smiling..

We went to temple. After taking blessings, we came back to grooms house.. Actually there is big hall in grooms house so we arranged sangeet over there.

Every one is busy with decorations.. I too helped them..

By 4 pm.. Everything was ready just as we planned it..

We went to get ready.. I let rakesh to get ready first.. Because i will take longer time.. He wore cream shirt on black jeans.

I wore.. Grape gaghra with self coloured work, gold colour blouse and a net violet coloured dupatta.. Thin bit of waist is exposed.. But i tried to cover it with dupatta by arranging it in the form of style..

I made my hair into wavy curls with a curler.. I applied a liitle makeup.. Used eye liner and applied natural lip coloured lipstick.. Then lipgloss over it.. After satisfied with my appearance.. I opened the door.

Rakesh already went to sangeeth..

I went there alone.. By the time i reached.. Only males are there.. All females are yet to come..

"Heyy.. Swetha.. Looking gorgeous.. " vikranth said with a smile.

I returned the smile.. Felt nervous being a single girl with all boys.. I went and sat beside rakesh..  "any special today??" he asked again..

"No.. " i lied..

"why you are looking more beautiful today??" he asked knitting his eyebrows.

"because its sangeeth" i said shrugging my shoulders. He smiled shaking his head.

Later all girls came..

First grooms side started dancing to english songs..

Alex brother danced to.. "Shape of you.."

Later his friends both danced to.. "bailamos"

Later his sister.. She wore lehenga like us.. She looked more beautiful in that.. She danced to.. "Nagada song from ramleela." . We were shocked with her graceful steps.. All our hopes were smashed when she danced like that.. We never expected her to be this much graceful..

We all clapped with out stopping for few minutes..

Next its our namitha's..

First the song of trio.. They danced to" jai shiv shankar song.. "

All danced with equal grace.. No one is less.. In original video.. Only two.. But here three.. Their coordination and formation was really superb.. I dont know they performed well with out much practice.. May be yesterday night they practiced very well..

Later the pair of vaishali and abhinav.. They danced to "pehle nazar me tu he jaadu kar diya".

As she is pregnant she moved less.. But abhinav managed.

Later the waiting pair.. Priya and vikranth.. They did dance to" saree ki phalsa song. "

Both made it look perfect with their coordination and grace..

Next pair.. I and rakesh..  Its lungi dance..

Rakesh arranged a cloth to tie it like lungi.. I laughed at him.. "when did you arrange this?!"

"I have my plans baby"" he said..

Baby!!

Hmm.. He seems to be in joyous mood..

They started the song.. I tried to keep up with his grace but iam not that great dancer.. But some how we managed it..

Next group song.. We all couples gathered..

Priya and vikranth in the centre.. I and rakesh on left side.. Vaishu and abhinav on right side..

'Pal ek pal mein hi tham sa gaya
Tu haath mein haath jo de gaya'

All girls came infront of guys.. We jumped to one side in a wave motion spreading our hands.. then to other side in the same way.. Then turned to face our guys and held their hands and bended back wards..

Then became straight and take turn around holding his hand then i came nearer to him holding his hand then went away with straightening our hands and came again near him still holding.

'Chalun main jahaan jaaye tu
Daayein main tere, baayein tu
Hoon rut main, hawayein tu
Saathiya…'

Now guys started moving holding our hands in the same way..they made us turn around too and we parted ourselves then came nearer holding each others hands while revolving around.. Its repeated again..

' Hansu main jab gaaye tu
Roun main murjhaaye tu
Bheegun main barsaaye tu
Saathiya…'

We pairs shifted places.. Now i and rakesh were in middle, to our left side vaishu and abhinav and right side priya and vikranth.. The same step followed..

Later it was namita and priya.." Gharmore pardesi ahhh song.."

Both well done asusual..

Finally when we thought the celebration ended..

There was a sudden anouncement from namita..

"Last but not least.. "

We all looked at her confused.. Because every one participated already..

"What guys?? U partners done well.. What about us?? We too want to dance to a song.." namitha whined like a child.

"Ohh.." "Yah.. Yah.." "Sure.. " We all clapped.. Namita smiled and went to play the song.

There came the song "perfect of Ed Sheeran."

They both looked good eachother.. Alex is not a good dancer.. Actually iam far better than him.. But he tried atleast.. I like his spirit..

Everything ended well.. All had dinner there it self..

.....

Ufff..

Take a break yaar... Its such a loooong chappy..

Let me show you the two posters.. Made by Sasanka54

And this one...

I loved both of them.. Just like the way i prefer.. Thank u bro.. Especially the caption.. 'questioned by'... ' Progressed by'.. Its very creative..

Do u like them too..?? Ofcource u will.. But Which one do u like the most??

If ur answer is over, let's move to our story ..

.......

Then we girls started chatting about how we felt just before marriage.. I.e., 2 days before marriage how we felt about marriage and about future husbamd..

Priya said.. " i know very well about him.. I felt nothing new.. I just felt happy that he will be mine forever "

Vaishu started saying.. " i cried literally.. I didnt like to marry abhinav.. I thought he is a play boy.. Marrying him is not at all my wish.. But agreed only for my family.. But iam happy now more than previously that i married him.." we all smiled at her.

Then Everyone looked at me. I took a deep breath and started saying " i havent seen his picture too.. I dont know how he looks.. I dont know how his voice will be.. But the only thing which made me fell for him is he accepted me despite his parents disgreed for the marriage.. My marriage is all of a sudden.. I dont have any time to even shop for my marriage.. But i never felt unhappy because i just wanted a loving husband not a grand marriage ceremony.. Intial days were bad.. But i got what i wanted.. Iam happy now.. Thats what matters for me the present Not the past.. "

" Well said swetha.." namitha said looking at me with a smile. Others nodded.

" what are your feeling nams" priya asked namitha..

"i know alex.. He is cute and little immature sometimes.. But he loves me just the way iam.. I dont need to change for him.. I dont know how he will be after marriage.. Everyone says guys change after marriage.. May be its their responsiblity make them less funny.. But i just hope he will make me feel free with him like always.. " namitha said.

" he will namitha.. " we all said simultaneously..

" Okay.. Lets go.. Its getting late"  namitha said looking into her phone..

"OMG.. !! Its 9pm.. Lets go.." namita explained..

Namitha and priya went to granny's home.. I and vaishali went to namitha's uncle house.. Just When we entered in to the hall, There was a power cut.. I stood like a statue unable to move.. Iam fraid of dark.. I held vaishali hand tightly..

Suddenly all lights were on with a big blast from top.. All colourful papers fell on us.. I looked around.. The hall was filled with balloons.. I looked around..

Rakesh came infront of me and said" happy bday swetha"

I had tears in my eyes.. I hugged him.. "Thank you" i said..

"happy bday swetha..," every one started coming inside and started wishing me..

There was a table arranged with cake in the centre.. Rakesh took me to the table..

He lighted a sparkling candle..

Every one started singing happy bday song.. I cut the cake and gave a piece to keep it inside his mouth.. He too took a piece and kept it inside my mouth.. Then every one started coming to keep a small piece.. Priya came and started applying cream all over my face..

Everything went very happy.. I enjoyed my bday very well.. Its the best surprise i got..

After that
