AUTHOR'S POV

She looks at herself in the front mirror. She is well dressed in a pink bride lehenga. The mehndi applied on her hands has become so dark that anyone can feel jealous after seeing its color. She constantly looked at her henna-filled hands, where YUVRAJ's name was written.

The loud knock on the room suddenly caught her attention. She starts looking towards her door. Her two cousins come and say.

"Pandit Ji is asking for you…."

Chahat sighs deeply, manages herself not to cry, without saying anything, gets up from the stool, and starts leaving the room. But for a few seconds, she stays there at the door and turns around and looks at her room and her eyes are fixed on the picture of her family. There were a few tears in her eyes. She smiles at them but tears shine in her eyes.

She comes out and with slow steps is moving towards the pavilion. Her eyes have shifted to Yuvraj who is waiting for her, sitting in the mandap(marriage pavilion). When the sizzle of her anklets hears in Yuvraj's ears. He raises his eyes and looks at her with angry eyes. She understands the meaning of these eyes very well. But she turned her eyes and fixed them to the floor.

Chahat comes and sits near Yuvraj in the mandap. Pandit Ji makes a knot of alliance with his stall and her dupatta and tells them both.

"बिटिया अपना दायां हाथ वर के बाएं हाथ में रखिए"
(The girl should put her right hand in the left hand of the groom.)

She is doing all the things without any interruption. As soon as she puts her hand in Yuvraj's hand. A trembling wave ran through her whole body. Yuvraj turns his face and looks at her, her eyes bow down, he feels his shaky hand, and Pandit wraps a cloth around their hands. Pandit Ji starts chanting mantras. Both of them start doing all the work as per the instructions of Pandit Ji.

Ayudh's crying voice starts echoing in the mansion, Yuvraj realizes that Chahat suddenly grabs his hand(wrapped in cloth) as soon as she hears Ayudh's cry. Pallavi is trying to stop his crying while cooing at him with sweet talk but he keeps on crying. Chahat looks at Pallavi. She tries to express her helplessness through her eyes.

Pallavi quickly makes him sit on the floor because she knows he doesn't want to be in her arms. After all, the crowd already made him so cranky. As soon as he gets down from her arms, he keeps crying and starts crawling, goes to Chahat, and she immediately spreads her arm for him, he sits on her lap and says loudly.

"Chi…yaaa...."

This is the first time that Ayudh has said something, he said 'Chiya' to her in exactly the same way as his father always used to call Chahat in front of him whenever they both want to tease her, Pratham dragged her name and called out her name loudly. Chahat smiles instantly after hearing this, Ayudh turns his small eyes to Yuvraj, who is looking at him. Yuvraj's lips curl up a little bit to form a small smile after seeing this little boy, but Ayudh's expressions are neutral, he is looking at him with his open mouth.

Yuvraj turns his face to start performing rituals, But Ayudha's eyes are not moving away from Yuvraj at all and Yuvraj can feel those eyes on him. He tries to look at Ayudh two to three times, from the corners of his eyes, but every time he found Ayudh
Keep staring at him. Panjit Ji says.

"Phero ke liye khade ho jaye…"
(Stand up for the holy round)

Chahat makes Ayudh sit down on a mattress because she cannot carry him in her arms. At this time one of her hands is tied to the hands of Yuvraj. Yuvraj and Chahat start taking rounds of holy fire, Ayudh is sitting there with his legs slightly widened and watching them both take rounds. Every time Yuvraj comes in front of Ayudh, Ayudh starts to see him with so much interest, due to which Yuvraj wants to laugh out looking at his amazing expression but he is silently engaged in his work.
