Purvi: Nahi, tum grey pehno gaye nahi toh mein iss reception mein nahi aane wali.

Kavin: par purvi yeh color acha nahi lag raha mujhe par.

Setting the coat while looking at myself in the mirror, I tried explaining her how plain the suit was.

Purvi: Toh tumhe iss par chand tare chahiye the? Ya phul ki embroidery kara dun tumhare liye. Acha toh lag raha hai na. Please yahi pehno.

Kavin: Par yeh jach nahi raha

Purvi: Par mein bhi grey saree pehn rahi hun. Hume match karna chahiye na Aaj. Please na kavin!

She caught my hand and started shaking my fingers in slow movements. She was the love of my life, if she wanted me to wear the outfit of a clown, I would happily do that for her.

Purvi: Aur mere pass na do saree thi par maine yeh wali chose ki, kyun ki golden tum par acha lag raha tha. Dekho na kitna sundar lag rahe ho.

Today she wanted us to wear the same color, how could I possibly say No. And if she thought I looked good it in, then it is what it is.

Kavin: Acha theek hai, jaise app kahe maharani sahiba

A smiled flashed on her face as she yelled a thank you and hugged me in happiness. Like the last night, I felt an increase in my breathing rate as she was in my arms with her own will. But like yesterday night, I would not let the moment slip away.

Say it was my bad luck that she parted before I could touch her and run to the closet with the saree kept on the table. As the closet door shut behind her, she spoke from in there.

Purvi: Ab jao yahan se ! Tum mujhe tab tak nahi sakte jab tak mein puri tarah se taiyar na ho jau. Aur uske liye bahar aa ke bohut kuch karna baki hai. Agar tum bahar hue toh mujhse kabhi baat mat karna.

Kavin: Man nahi kar raha.

Purvi: Toh matlab tum nahi jaa  rahe?

She sounded mad so I told her I was leaving and shut the door to our room. I waited for my wife to come outside. That moment my heart was yearning for the glimpse of her, when she was getting ready to show the world, who she was married to.

More over she said she didn't regret the marriage, and her actions proved it too. She was right- her pretty eyes should not cry because of some screwed person who chose to leave a diamond like her.

The way she smile, my heart would flutter and my stomach would twist in knots. The way she talks, my heart just wanted to keep hearing to everything she had to say. The way she touches me, I just wanted to hold her too but was too nervous to do it.

I spent the whole time staring at a picture of her till the door opened and she come running behind my back.

Purvi: Kavin!

She yelled in my ears but as I was about to turn she asked me to close my eyes because it was a surprise. I closed my eyes as directed by her and turned around. He bangles jiggled in a sweet meanlody and her innocent laughter was heard.

Purvi: Kholo!

I opened my eyes slowly only to suffer a beat drop seeing her in a greayish white saree and matching jewelry. Her hairs feel on her shoulders to her in front a wavy form and she held her right arm to her stomach before waving her pallu and looking at me.

Purvi: Kaisi lag rahi hai hun?

Kavin: Purvi, yeh sab kyun?

It was the same saree from yesterday that she had rejected, saying that it didn't quite match her expectations and today, she stood in front of me, dressed in that.

Purvi: kya matlab kyun? (Cross her arms across her chest) sirf yahi wali saree thi, jo tumhe kal achi lagi. Baki sab ki bare mein toh tumhara muh bana hua tha. (Childishly) toh mein kya karti?

Kavin: Tumne yeh mere liye?

Purvi: Haan toh aur kiske liye?

Never had anyone worn anything for me and seeing my wife wearing the dress. She didn't like, just because I liked it, made me weak so I let down the tears that formed in my eyes.

Tears in happiness

Happiness of having someone
Happiness of someone who care
Happiness of my love doing it for me.

Purvi: Kavin

She rushed towards me, as I wiped my tears. Taking my arms in her hands she looked at me tensed and asked me, why I was crying. The genuine concern in her voice was another level of satisfaction.

Purvi: Yeh achi nahi lagi kya?

Kavin: Nahi woh bas, (wipes his tears away and cups her face) mein akela rehta hun na. Aur mere liye kabhi kisi ne kuch khas nahi kiya, phir Aaj tumne yeh pehna toh bas khud ko rok nahi saka.

Her delicate face was in my hands and I couldn't help touching her hairs. She made that o face again before cupping my face with her angelic hands and wiping the tears off.

It was like all the happiness in the world had come to me today.

Purvi: Toh phir roz rone ke liye taiyar ho jao

She smiled before realizing what she said and covering her mouth while nodding a straight No.

Purvi: Mere woh matlab nahi tha! Mere matlab toh khushi ki asuon se tha, pakka!

I chuckled and pulled her nose gently

Kavin: Pata hai mujhe

Purvi: Acha ab chalo, nahi toh hum late ho jaye gaye. Aur agar hum late hue toh mein galti apne upar nahi lena wali mein bata rahi hun pehle hi.

As if I would just let the blame come your way. Before it dares to think so, it will find kavin kapoor in its path purvi.

The earning which she wore kissed her cheeks. It seemed like I got killed when she smiled, my heart has also got pierced as she tightened the arrows of her. Just like alcohol, the caffeine in her took me over.

No girl could ever by her.
