"Dhriti wear this red saree,don't worry about what to wear now and dress up like a newly wed bride, wear new attire, wear jewellry, apply mehendi and adorn the sacred solah shringar" Madhavi spoke out before sunrise to Dhriti.
Dhriti sneaked out when she found Mayank snoring in deep sleep.
Madhavi gave Dhriti the Sargi thali. "Why are crying Dhriti?" Madhavi asked seeing Dhriti's moistened eyes.
"I wish Maasi gave it to me, I feel awful to be a runaway bride" Dhriti thought to herself.
"Don't cry if your family is not here.Think me as your mother in law and eat this sargi quickly" Madhavi wiped Dhriti's tears.
"Thank you" Dhriti spoke with a lump in her throat taking the sargi tray which included essentials like Solah Sringar, bangles, new attire, sweets, fruits, meethi seviyan (vermicelli), puri, sabzi, juice or beverage.
The food served as a Sargi must be satvik, which must be cooked without garlic and onion,Dhriti didn't like it without garlic and onion but ate to atleast fill up her stomach.
"Where were you Dhriti?" Mayank asked Dhriti standing in the hall of their apartment.
"Uhm..I went to the roof to walk, I didn't feel sleepy" Dhriti lied.
"Oh really exactly where did you hid on the roof?" Mayank spoke raising his brow.
"Why...why will I hid on the roof?" Dhriti questioned.
"I went to the roof to smoke and strangely,I didn't find you there.Probably you hid in the plant pots and I couldn't see you" Mayank replied savagely.
"Oh..I first went to the roof then I went to Madhavi ji,she needed some help" Dhriti lied again.
"What kind of help?" Mayank asked.
"Don't become a Sherlock. I am going to bathe it's too humid and hot" Dhriti spoke out.
"Answer me first" Mayank spoke sternly.
"She needed help in making Sargi" Dhriti lied with expertise now.
"Hmm..Madhavi ji lives alone and she is a widow.For whom this Sargi was being prepared?Stop lying Dhriti" Mayank exclaimed as he got irritated.
"For neighborhood women,she was preparing Sargi and I helped her.Manky go sleep now" Dhriti replied calmly.
"Don't keep that fast,focus on basketball .I want you to play for India,don't tangle yourself in these stuff. Tomorrow you have a practice match as well" Mayank spoke out thinking deeply.
"Sorry,I am lying to you Manky. I don't know why I am keeping this fast.Our families are still not aware of what happened.I don't even whether the rest of the world will believe or accept this relationship but whatever it is,I feel good about it and I feel secured your presence" Dhriti replied to Mayank in her subconsicous.
"Lizard,should I bathe you here?" Mayank snapped his fingers in front of Dhriti to break her thoughts of chain.
"Huh? No..." Dhriti ran to bathe.
To begin the rituals for Karwa Chauth it is necessary to bathe early morning before the sunrise and don new attire.
Dhriti wore beautiful pink anarkali she purchased a few days ago,she wore silver metallic bangles,a tint of pink lipstick.Madhavi applied henna on her palms early morning.
Dhriti took essence of henna into her nostrils, a smile appeared on her face.
"I was used hate henna and now I am enjoying it? What is happening to me?" Dhriti questioned herself.
