It happened in Bombay

MARRIED

Our wedding preparations started, the date was finalized and I was feeling... Content! Not just happy but content!!! Satisfied!! It was feeling of fullness!!

Tara wanted to shift with me, but Rono was not in favour he said 'you all will be busy and it would be difficult for you to handle her' I couldn't visit her as we had very little time left for wedding and preparations.

Rono's family sent a fish which was beautifully decorated and we had no idea what to do with it?

On the day of our wedding when Ansh and my cousins took me to the mandap I had to keep two leaves in front of my face. When I saw Rono on the time what they call shubho drishti I was mesmerized he was the most handsomest groom ever.

Tara was really happy, she danced and giggled throughout the day.
---------------------------------

The long dark night was about to end; though Rono has already brought colours and light in my life but the fear of loosing it all over again was real. I was scared, so scared.
-------------------------------

I was waiting for him, it was like deja vu; unknown fear was taking upon me. I prayed and prayed till he entered the room. Smiling, happy and I immediately ran into his arms, sobbing.

He scooped me up in his arms and made me sit on the bed "hey! What happened? Hmmm? Kisi ne kuch kaha? Are you missing home?"

"Promise me Rono no matter what happens... Whatever happens aaj tum is room se bahar nahi jaoge!! 'me jaldi aa jaunga! Abhi kuch der ki baat hai' mein kuch nahi janti!! Please, please!!! I am too scared Rono!" I continued sobbing.

"Sshhh shhhh meri jaan! Mein nahi jaunga, kahi nahi jaunga!! He said caressing my hairs.

"Promise me!" I was still sobbing.

"I promise meri jaan!" He said.

I slept myself sobbing at the night, clutching on his kurta. He was holding me lovingly. It was around 4 in the morning that I woke, Rono was still holding me, sleeping in an uncomfortable position.

"Rono!! Rono!!" I called him.
He woke up with a jerk "what happened? What happened?" Clearly panicked "are you okay?"

"Don't panick I am fine! You were sleeping in a very odd position, pain hoga, get up sleep properly!" I told him.

"I am sorry Rono! I spoilt the night for both of us!" I said guiltily.

"No you didn't! It's okay! You were just scared....." He said but I interrupted

".....and it's not fine! It's not always about me......" I was again interrupted

"It is always about you my love! It will always be about you! Just relax!" He kissed my forehead.

"Mishti! Ek letter mila tha mujhe 4din pehle!" He said.

"Okay! Kaun tha?" I asked.

"Ummm Ruhaan ka tha! Meine padha nahi hai but I was scared too. Agar wo kehta ke mat karo shadi to.. I... Tum padhogi?" He said hesitantly.

"Ummm.. tum padh lo.. kuch important hoga to bata dena!" I said.

"Nahi tum padho, it was so stupid of me to think like that! Tum bata dena kuch important ho to! Mein pagal hu ekdum!" He said and got up to bring the letter.

I held his arm and ask him to sit closer, keeping my head on his shoulder I opened the letter.

'dear Mishti!

Mujhe pata hai ke mujhe yeh nahi likhna chahiye! Par tumhe congratulations bolna bhi toh zaruri hai na! Mein khush hu tumhare liye, tum jo deserve karti thi mil gaya tumhe! Pyaar karne wala pati, understanding saas. Aur pyaari si Tara!! Mujhe pata chala Ma ka behaviour kaisa tha tumhare liye jab mein yaha nahi tha. Ho sake to unhe maaf kar Dena!
Ek acchi khabar hai, mein London shift ho raha hu, kaam ke liye. Waha job le liya hai! Army nahi join karunga wapas, though it was my dream but I guess I've had enough!!

Zaruri nahi tha lekin meine soch tumhe aur Dr Sahab ko bata deta hu ke ab wapas kabhi nahi aunga!! Wahi settle hone ka plan hai! Aur Ma ko bhi le jau shayad! Unhe manae me abhi time lagega, lekin mein koshish to karta hi rahunga!

Congratulations to you for your marriage! mein dua karunga Jo pichle baar hua dubara na ho. Dr Chatterjee jaisa samajhdar insaan milna mushkil hai, unhe sambhal kar rakhna Mishti!

Tumhara humesha well-wisher

Ruhaan."

"It was just a letter to congratulate us! I am such a fool!" Rono said pulling me more closer.

"It's okay! Mein bhi aise hi behave karti!" I said.

"Ummm Mishi!! Wo... Ummm... Listen mujhe... Matlab..." "Kya Roniee?" I asked when he was just fumbling all the way.

"Listen mujhe bhi nahi pata hai kyun, lekin Kusum Bombay me hai!" He said and I don't know how to react exactly.
He was mine and I was sure, but still... He will never hurt me, I know but why was she here?

"Kyun?" I asked keeping a calm demeanor.

"Pata nahi lekin, shayad humare hospital me position Khali thi, waha!!" He said.

Damn! Wo ab Rono ke sath Kam karegi!! Kyun? I just got married and...
Mere sath ye kab khatam hoga? I thought to myself.

"Hmmm" I said out loud.

"Sweetheart! You don't have to worry about anything! Can you just trust me!" He said understanding what must be going on in my head.

"I... I trust you Shona... Don't worry! I'll be fine!" I said and kissed his cheek.

"You called me Shona for the first time!!" He smiled "and I really was planning to do more than just a peck on cheek on my wedding night!" He said naughtily.

"I am tired! With all th rituals and panicking!" I said, but sleep was last thing on my mind. I was worried, too much!!
