Prem Vivah

• Chivalrous Gentleman •

| One Week Later

Naina was relaxing inside her bedroom, on her bed, feeling peace and comfort. She was playing a game downloaded by Radhika, and she thoroughly enjoyed dodging the police officer who was running behind her to catch her. A soft knock on the door provoked fear in her heart, and she quickly shut off her phone, putting it beside the table. She put a confident mask on her frightened face and saw her mother coming inside with a box in her hand...her curious eyes scrutinized the mysterious gift in Sarita's grip and pressed her lips in a daze.

"Beta...main tumhare liye kuch lekar aayi hoon," Sarita said in a meek tone, unraveling the product she bought for her teenage daughter. Naina was excited to see what was lying in the box, but when her mother took out a piece of cloth, her enthusiasm vanished in a moment, and confusion marred her face.

"Yeh kya hai Aai?" She asked the lady in a low voice.

"Bra." Sarita said with a hesitant smile, and it took Naina some time to speak again - "Kyu?"

"Bala, tumhari age ab badhti jaa rahi hai...aur mujhe lagta hai yeh sahi time hai tumhare liye bra pehen ne ka. It will be difficult in the initial days but you'll get used to it soon." She made her skeptical daughter understand the importance of a Bra in a girl's life, and Naina blankly looked at her mother.

"Radhika aur Sonali ne bhi pehen na shuru kar diya hai last week se, tum bhi practice karo, aadat ho jayegi jald hi," Sarita said lovingly, and could explicitly see hesitance and reluctance to wear a bra in her daughter's moist eyes. Naina slowly held the piece of cloth in her shivering hands and examined it with furrowed eyebrows.

"Jao jake pehen lo, aur help chahiye ho toh main yahi hoon." She spoke with an encouraging smile, and Naina lightly nodded her head in yes.

She unwillingly got off the bed, and with heavy steps, she reached the bathroom. She shut the door simply and blinked her innocent eyes a couple of times before taking off the cotton black kurti she was wearing. Naina wasn't able to understand why it's so significant for a girl to wrap the bra over her feminine breasts at such a tender age, perhaps because it will sag and make the blossoms look weird. She sighed loudly, and gave a bizarre expression seeing the molded cups tucked against the bra...a wail escaped out of her lips as she walked in front of the mirror, and put the garment over her special treasure, her sleek fingers reached back to clasp the hooks which were one of the hardest tasks to do. Naina struggled exceedingly to unite the hooks and then elastic bands, and annoyance was surging in her heart at feeling something heavy on her delicate skin...She helplessly positioned the cups over her breasts so that she could feel a little better, and it was a bit tight now. She uncomfortably looked at herself in the mirror, and the bra fitted perfectly on her flourishing boobs. The size, the color, the fabric, everything was fine, but yet Naina couldn't feel satisfied with this piece of cloth. It felt like she was tied around this for a lifetime, now there is no escape. She has to wear this every day, or at least when she goes out to public places, she would need to be extra careful now while wearing sleeveless tops because it could reveal the strap of her bra, and she doesn't want people to pass absurd comments at her.

Naina wore her kurti, and wrapped her silky hair in a loose bun, walking out of the bathroom with a pale face. She found her mother sitting on the bed, and asked her irritatingly - "Aai, aur kuch pehen na hai?"

Sarita chuckled and ushered her displeased daughter to come and sleep on her lap. Naina pouted, but eventually went to her beloved mother and rested her head like a baby on her solacing lap. Sarita caressed her cheek with a soft smile, and said - "Janti hoon tumhe ajeeb lag raha hoga yeh pehen kar...par yeh zaroori hai tumhare liye, maine toh 13 saal ki umar se pehen na shuru kar diya tha...tumhe toh fir bhi ek saal aur aise aazadi se ghumne mila." The lady giggled when Naina gave a dangerous look and continued further - "Dheere dheere tumhe iski aadat ho jayegi...don't worry, aur ek tarah se bra pehen na bahut acha hai ladkiyon ke liye. They feel safe and comfortable in any clothes if they're wearing a bra inside, koi tension nahi ki nipples dikh rahe hoge, ya breasts zyada lag rahe hai. The body looks perfect...but also, it's annoying at times jab bra ke strap kapdo me se bahar aate hai, ya fir hook sahi se nahi lagta. But well, everything has its pros and cons...so beta, you don't have to feel weird or uncomfortable because of this. You will get used to it soon."
