The Agnihotris

"Yeh Vivah Sampann hua" The priest's voice ringed in his ear and his already overwhelmed senses tensed up yet again .
Sidharth was overflowing with Happiness and Anxiety . He looked at his bride , looking absolutely mesmerizing in a red traditional lehenga . A bit of Vermilion fell on her nose during the 'Sindoor Daan' .
Sidharth chuckled inwardly and wiped it with a stroke of his finger .

" Di apke naak pe Sindoor Giri hain ... Lagta hain Jiju apse bohot zyada pyaar karte hain " His sister in law had that bright teasing smile , while Shehnaaz , his wife, glared her with that red face .

He looked at his parents who had the widest smiles on their faces.
Mrs Richa Agnihotri was teary eyed in joy while her husband ,Mr. Rakesh Agnihotri, pressed her shoulder slightly to calm her senses .
Sidharth smiled wider watching them . His parents were always his ideal couple . He then looked at his wife and secretly wished that their bond be as good as his or now Their parents.

The newly wedded couple touched the feet of the elders . The atmosphere dulled down as it was time for 'Vidaai' .
Shehnaaz's eyes turned misty as she hugged each member of her family, yet the smile never left her face . She had sworn to not cry .
"Koshish karunga ki kabhi shikayat ka mauka na doon"
Mr. Kailash Awasthi held his son in law's folded hands and managed a small smile . Mrs Chetna Awasthi , Shehnaaz's mother , didn't had it in herself to even respond . A whimpering mess she was ..

Shehnaaz's little sister, Priya ,who teased her a while ago , was sobbing silently . She pecked her sister's forehead and cupped her face lovingly .
Sidharth's gaze never shifted from her. Quite unknowingly , he held her hand and pressed it assuringly . She looked up at him at the contact and smiled slightly .

*************
Shehnaaz's eyes scanned her new home while she had her 'GrihaPravesh' . 'Aashiyana' was a 3 BHK flat in the outskirts of Mumbai . Her husband was a software engineer placed in the city . Her in laws were basically from Delhi . They had a flight after 3 days .
And then it will be just her and her husband in this huge flat . It made her a bit sad . She already liked his family a lot .
Moreover Shehnaaz was born and brought up in a joint family .

"Mami ... Kahan kho gayi aap ?" Riya squealed innocently looking at her aunt with wide eyes .

" Kuch nhi beta .. mein toh bas yeh soch rahi thi ... Ki Riya kitni pyaari hain .... Hain na?" Shehnaaz tickled her and Riya broke into giggles at it . Kids can successfully calm your nerves just being themselves .

*********

She was seated in their room contemplating whether to change her lehenga or not . Her head was aching with the no. of pins loaded . So she got up and dragged herself to the dressing table .
She sat on the stool and patiently removed the pins when the doorknob turned making her still .

********

After escaping another wave of teasing from his friends and jiju ..
Sidharth walked towards his room with his thudding heart ...
His friends teasing created an awkward atmosphere around him .
But they hardly had spoken twice and the comfort was still missing between them , so the friendship will be the first step in their marital life .
With a clear head , he turned his door knob when his phone ringed .

He prayed silently that he doesn't need to hurry to his office the next moment .

" Hello ?"
" Am I talking to Mr. Sidharth Agnihotri ? "
" Yes .. who's this ? "
" I am talking from CID , Mumbai Branch "
