"Kittu bhaiya, Yeh kya? Abhi tak tyaar nahi hue. Baraat ka time ho gaya hai aur yeh janab abhi yahi phone par lage hue hain." complained his sister, Amaya. When Aditi told her daughter to look at what her son is doing, Amaya urf Ami found him in the balcony talking to his uncle for some arrangements.

Rishi looked back at her and smiled at her and put his arm around her shoulder and finished his call while coming inside his room, which looks like a mini store room. All the important items such as Gifts for the bride, guests, Shagun was kept in his room.

"Bas abhi ready hota hu, Mama ko address bata raha tha Dipanshi ke yaha ka. Woh Kal hi toh aaye hain aur unhe kuch kaam tha Dipanshi ke papa se."

"Ohh.... tabhi hamare Kittu Bhaiya khud address bata rahe the Mama ko."

"I am getting what you wanted to say. Huh?"

"What bhaiya?" asked Amaya with her innocent eyes.

Rishi looked at her but didn't probe further about it and said, "Achcha theek hai. Mai aata hu ready hokar. Okay!"

"Okay, but thoda jaldi aana. Kajal Bhabhi wait kar rahi hain Kajal lagane ke liye." Amaya informed him about the ritual which was going to be held before the 'Nikashi' of the baraat. It's a ritual in which the sister-in-law of Groom applied Kajal to him. Kajal was their maternal uncle's son's wife who was going to perform this ritual. He nodded at Amaya and got ready for the rituals.

Amaya Mishra, 17 years old daughter of Raghav and Aditi Mishra and youngest member of their family, was a Law student and recently got an admission in one of the best law colleges of India. She lived in her college campus in its hostel and especially returned for her coolest and only brother's marriage. She took two weeks leave for his marriage. Initially she disapproved of his marriage. She didn't get why a father wanted his only daughter to get married within a month. But when her brother himself explained the situation to her, she was at peace and even talked to her future sister-in-law a few times. Since she came just a week before his marriage, she didn't get the time to meet her face-to-face. But they talked quite a lot and they got along very well. Infact Somya and Amaya were actually alike in many manners like in pulling Dipanshi's leg.

Dipanshi was currently in a hotel room and was getting ready for her wedding. Somya was also with her and her cousin, Yuhani, from her paternal aunt's side. She recently passed her class 12th Board examination.

"Di, achcha hua aapki shaadi mere exams ke baad hui warna mai toh aa hi nhi pati. Jese Krish bhaiya ki shadi mein hua. Us time bhi mere 10th ke board exams the." Yuhani shared her grief for not attending her cousin's marriage due to her board exams.

{Do you remember Krish??}

Here Dipanshi was dieing with anxiety and Yuhani was thinking about her exams. She didn't know that Dipanshi was taking her life's biggest exam, her marriage, that too with her professor whom she didn't like. Although she talked to Amaya, his sister, his mother, his father, she never initiated calling Rishi.

Beauty artist did her magic and made her the most beautiful bride of the city. She also took some pictures of her for advertising her Beauty Care Shop.

Yuvraj Mudgal, son of one of the board members of the college and her senior, came to meet her.

"Hey Bookworm, All ready to go to Trigonometry prison?"

"Well you should tell this to our professor."

"And your husband..."

Listening to his remark, she made a long face and stared back to her reflection in the mirror.

"Hey Dipu" Yuvraj called her softly, "He will be the best husband you ever want."

Dipanshi looked back at him through the mirror and smiled humbly. She could just wish that whatever he was saying would be true. In her mind she was just praying that whatever Rishi was before she didn't care much but he would be a nice guy with whom she was going to live for the rest of her life.

"Exactly... Just chill babes... and you remember our deal right? So why fear when Somya is here..." Somya replied, interrupting them.

Yuvraj looked between them and asked, "What deal?"

"Actu...."

Interrupting Somya, Dipanshi said, "Senior, it's nothing... she just likes to blabber.... Right SOMI"

"Tsk... What are you afraid of? I'll tell you.. so.. as you know I am pursuing journalism, so I told her that if her AG/OG/SunoG did something bad to her, she just has to say a word to me and then see what I will do to him?" Somya replied, lifting her imaginary sleeves, because it's impossible as she was wearing a half sleeve blouse.

"Whatever, but listen carefully I am not going to call him that." Dipanshi said as she adjusted her nose ring (nath).

"Oh ho mere sher, matlab seedha 'Baby-Shona'.... aaye haaye" Somya said, while taking her balayein. (I don't know what it was called when we took someone's bad energy from him and threw it away.)

Dipanshi playfully slapped her hands away from her and threw daggers from her eyes. She was thinking what if she would be able to murder someone.

Soon her cousin came and told her that it's time for her entry. All the girls gathered around her, some had garland plates, some were helping her with her lehenga. The moment she entered the periphery of Rishi, Rishi was awestruck. He was so lost that he didn't hear her best friend, Anand's teasing. It was when Anand shook her then he came out of his daydream.

He forwarded his hand for her to come up the stage. While putting her hand in his, she saw in his eyes and by God, she forgot to breathe for a sec, but the flashlights of the cameraman never let her forget her surroundings.

While putting the vermillion in her head, they again had eye contact. She looked down, unable to bear the emotions pouring out of his eyes. He focused on his task right then in his hand, as he didn't want to embarrass himself and her.
Soon all the rituals were completed and they became husband and wife. They were husband and wife in the eyes of their families, at least at that moment.

When it was the time of Vidaai, everyone gave blessings to her and Rishi but there's a person who held other motives in their heart. Somya came forward and whispered in her ears, "Dekh Jhalli, agar khud par control na kar sake toh mujhe yaad kar lena. Okay!"

Dipanshi who was on the verge of crying, looked at her in shock with wide eyes, pink cheeks, and whispered again, "Teri shaadi hone de! Phir batati hu tujhe mai."

She replied, "Don't worry babes! When I get married, you will be taking care of your one... two... no.. no.. five kids."

But when Somya looked at her best friend's expressions, she stopped spouting nonsense and innocently smiled and mouthed sorry.

After all the rituals of after marriage, Dipanshi was sitting in her professor's room and admiring his room. Dipanshi thought that at least his room wasn't like his behaviour in the college. It was a bright room with a balcony, the wall opposite to the balcony is adorned with an open almirah full of books, left to this small cosy library is the dressing table, in front of this library is the bean bag, right to the library is the gate for closet and from that closet is the gate for bathroom. In front of the bed is a wall mount led and right to it is the entrance gate for this room. In short the room was fit to the taste of Dipanshi.

She was in the middle of going towards the balcony when the gate of the room was opened by her dashing husband. She stopped in her trek and looked at him through the veil. He opened his mouth but not a word came out of his mouth. Then he remembered that he had to close the door otherwise his sweet, humble cousins would come and demand 'Shagun' from him. By the way, his two months salary is already deducted by them respectfully.

He came to her and she didn't know what to do. She read in Romance novels that in these conditions the protagonist tends to move backwards but why was she like this where she didn't feel it comfortable to move backwards, was this because to her back was the bed or anything else?

He came near her but at a distance of two feet. He cleared his throat and said, "dress.. bathroom.. bed.."

They both looked at each other with different expressions, she looked at him with confused eyes and 'Are-you-mad' eyes while he looked at him with an embarrassed gaze at what nonsense he sprouted.

After a few seconds when he didn't say anything in a fear that he would again utter gutter nonsense, she exclaimed, "Huh?"

What she would be thinking of him with these thoughts, he sealed his lips and gestured toward the bathroom gate and with eyes gestured toward her clothes.

She looked at her clothes then where he was directing with his hand. Like a light bulb glowed above Jerry's head, a light bulb glowed above her head and she turned to go change her heavy but beautiful dress.

With a beautiful smile on her face, she didn't notice the rug on the ground and then ............ 'Gayi bhais paani mein' ......... she tripped.
