Mr&Mrs...Whatever!

Chapter 10

*Usha Pov*

"Usha! Are you ready?" I heard Deepu asking me entering the allotted room.

"No! I am not ready." I replied, placing my head on the mirror.

"I know! It must be the nerves right. Mom said that it happens for every bride." She said holding my shoulders.

I snorted and just wanted to shout that 'No! These are not at all the nerves.'. But I didn't, and the reason for that is out of my mind.

This one week passed like a one day. The same-day Mom, Deepu and her mom reached the house and started all the preparations.

I waited for him to at least call me or at least cancel it if he is so unhappy with this idea just like me. But am I? Why am I even having this question?

As it is in the village, all the rituals are conducted at separate places because of which I didn't see him again. Is he going to elope? Or should I just elope?

Then I felt someone shaking me, and I came out of my thoughts to see Deepu looking at me worriedly.

"I am fine! So let's just go." I said and started walking out of the room with her following me.

I reached the wedding stage to see him sitting there lost in his own thoughts. But it looks like he is following whatever Pundit is saying to him.

I sat beside him and closed my eyes for a second. I was looking at the guests to see them looking at us like we are the most adorable thing in the world.

And if we say that we don't want to get married, then I am sure that they will take some weapons behind those smiles of theirs to make us get married for sure. What am I even thinking?

"So where is she?" I asked him whisper.

"Who?" he asked without looking at me.

"Your Friend." I replied and I too can feel the venom while saying it. I started taking deep breaths, so I don't choke him with my hands.

"Busy in handling the company in mine and Dad's absence. So where is he?" He replied and then asked some confusion question. And I saw that he is also taking a deep breath.

"Who?" I asked him confused.

"Your Mr.Raj." he replied with the same tone I used for her.

I looked at him in confusion and said, "He didn't clearly know that I am getting married today. I will tell him today."

"Of course! Why would you already tell him that?" He said shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" I asked glaring at him.

"Nothing!" he replied looking away.

I was about to ask for more, but Dad and Mom reached for Kanyadan. After that each one passed in a blur, and finally it is time for our Pheras. When we held our hands and started walking around the holy fire he started walking little faster.

So I did the only thing that is possible. I pinched his hand a little harder, and he immediately stopped walking fast.

When it was time for tying Mangalsutra, we both were not scowling at each other anymore. And that's really felt strange but when he started applying Vermillon, I heard her words again in my mind.

So when he finished it, I only said the words which are the result of the pain caused by him "I hate you."

He looked at me for a few seconds and said, "As if I am loving you so much here."

That is completely my way of saying so, I mumbled 'Copy cat'. He was about to say something else but at the same time Deepu reached near us.

"I totally know you guys are going to name your first kid after me." she said with joy.
