"Dulhan ke mang mein sindoor bhar dijiye" the priest announced as shiva took the pinch of vermillion before proceeding to fill her hairline. He glanced at her and then filled her hairline still looking at her. Ravi closed her eyes the moment she felt the sindoor smearing on her hairline claiming her as his.
She never felt this much contended. She knew she should cry and break things and curse her fate. She should curse herself hurting herself but no she was feeling like slapping dev for being so coward and thanking shiva to accept her as his wife. She never expected him to.
"Are dekho uski naak pe sindoor gira hai. Pati hamesha pyar karega ise." She heard some random women speaking. She lifted her hands and touched her nose. Red powder smeared on her fingers as she rubbed them. She looked at shiva who gave a small smile.
Ravi shook off her head to get out of the thoughts. That gadhera would never love her. He would care for her but love was something else. She looked around the room and scrunched her nose. His room was not a room it was like a storeroom. He never cleaned it nor decorated it but now that she was going to live here she needed to decorate it. At least that would give her peace otherwise the tantrums rishita threw even after getting a big room was eating up her head.
"Kya soch rahi hai?" a voice snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked to see shiva coming inside. She followed his movements as he opened the beads of pearls hanging down his neck. Her lips curled up in a smile as she saw him making a face about how heavy and irritating it was. She tilted her head in admiration as he ruffled his hairs. Was she this much attracted to him from the beginning?
"Ghoor kya rahi hai khayegi kya?" his voice again snapped her out of her thoughts. She stood up from the bed and went close to him. His heartbeats fastened up as he saw her moving close to him. She smirked as she saw him getting nervous. She brought her face close to him and whispered softly. "Dar gaya."
He snapped his head at her and moved back. "Dekh I know yeh shadi...." His voice was cut off by Ravi who made an irritating voice. "Dekh shiva agar mujhe pehle pata hota ki dev itna darpok hai main kabhi shadi nahi karti and mujhe lagta hai Hume is shadi ko dusra mauka dena chahiye. Pyar ka pata nahi but hormones ke liye toh karna padega na."
Shiva's eyes widen as he heard her saying about hormones. He gulped his saliva. "Ye...Yeh kya bol rahi hai Tu." Ravi smirked seeing him nervous and moved more closely to him. "Kyun tujhe hormonal desires nahi lagte hai." shiva looked the other side as he heard her speak. Ravi started laughing and pulled his cheeks. "Oh god shiva tu kitna cute hai."
Shiva looked at her and admired her laughing. He was no way going to leave her or let anyone snatch her happiness. It was a pure thing to be preserved for shiva. "Accha bohut bakwas ho gayi chal jake change kar le sona bhi hai." he said moving out from there. He opened his cupboard and took out his clothes. "Shiva?"
Shiva turned and raised his eyebrow. "Kya kal main is room ko saja sakti hu." She said rubbing her palms. He smiled and moved to her. He tucked her strands of hair behind her ear and said softly. "Jitna hak mera hai is room mein utna hi haq tera bhi hai. tu kuch bhi kar sakti hai." ravi smiled at him and then tipped on her toes and kissed his cheeks.
Shiva widen his eyes. Ravi giggled before moving away and taking out her clothes. She entered the bathroom and saw a blushing shiva. This shiva was cuter. He was her cute bhootnath.
