This chapter is starting from Sindoor daan. I did some reading and found out that the bride does not live her house same day.

Shubhra Maa is alive.

The rasam of Boshor Ghar went pretty well. Som and Batuk prepared a dance. Shubhra Maa was very protective of her Badi Bahu.

She slept in the comfort of her Mother's lap for the last time before departing to her new home.

The next was her Bashi Biye.

Aniruddh had to once again fill vermillion in her hairline. All of the things went on smoothly.

They reached Roy Chaudhary mansion and the couple was welcomed whole heartedly.

Still , it was morning time Bondita had to make a sweet dish for her Bou Boron.

She spent the whole trying to adapt herself to the new surroundings. It was Kaal Ratri.

Apparantly Aniruddh slept with Binoy while Bondita with Shubhra Maa. They both spent the night talking about the family. Shubhra really loved her like her daughter.

The sun rose with a new day. Embarking the first day of her new life. Sun Rays  falling on her angelic face disturbing her sleep.

"Maa parada karde na "

"Maa , tu sunti kyu na..."

She woke up and absorbed the surroundings. It is my husband's place. Maa kyu aaigi yahan.

My sight fell on the clock. Seven in the morning. Oh god !

She quickly went to the washroom. She came out drying her hair wearing a blue silk saree.

Hum tum kitne paas hai
Kitne dur hai Chand sitare
Sach pucho toh man ko jhoothe
Lagte hain yeh saare

She adorned herself with the jewellery sent by Kaka. She made design with alta on her hand and feet just the newly wed. She applied Kohl and Bindi and atlast Sindoor.

When there was a knock at the door.

She opened it and found Aniruddh standing there in white. 

He forwarded his hand for her to take it and they went downstairs.

"Maa kahan hai ? "

"Niche "

"Theek hai "

"Ruko "

"Kya hua ? "

Then he bent down and corrected the pleats of my saree.

"Ab theek hai , chalo "

"Ji "

They descended down the stairs and the chattering going on went silent.

"Lo naya joda bhi aa gaya " - Kaka said.

In the crowd I spotted Didi. I was so excited to see her that I wished I could run and hug her but I couldn't. Now I have dignity of two families on my shoulder.

Som dada and Batuk came and made us sit on the sofa while the short rituals after marriage continued.

After a tiring day , the beautiful night came. The room was looking so pretty and beautiful and the bed.

There was a pretty red heart made up of Roses.

She was standing in the balcony admiring the moon. Her daily night routine. She would gaze moon and its companions and then doze off to peaceful sleep.

Like any other bride , she was also nervous. But her heart knew all is going to be fine. He would understand.

He would ask for her consent.

He came in the room being all tired. He expected her to be at the bed. The so called ritual of their first night together.

Later , he found her in the balcony. She standing in her full glory. Moonlight enhancing the beauty. He could see her beautiful heart through her face.

He moved forward and back-hugged her. She gasped at first but relaxed at the familiar touch. She smiled and leaned back kept her head on his chest.

"Kya dekh rahi ho ? "

"Chand ko , kitna sundar hai na "

"Hai , par tumse zyada nahi "

She smiled and blushed and in a second her feet were of the ground and she was in his arms. He picked her up in bridal style and moved towards the swing.

She snuggled more into him. Her only safe place. The man she loves after her father.

He made her sit on the swing and sat beside her. She was just looking at him.

"Ab bas bhi karo , mujhe lajja aati hai "

"Lajja aur aapko , ye toh ho hi nahi sakta "

She then kissed his cheek and he was shocked at her sudden endearment.

She turned and hovered him , and took his lips with her. Promising to never leave his side. To be together until death do us apart. The emotional intimacy was higher in their relation than the physical.

They sealed their night with a long passionate kiss. She then rested her head on his chest and slept off to welcome the sun for her new life.

That is a wrap for today.

Many of you wanted their night sequence. Here it is. I just could not bring myself to the thought of sleeping with a stranger suddenly.

I just poured down my emotions.

You pour yours. Until then bye.
