Thanks to the ones who comment, attending to my wish💞

Renukha...☘️

Because I'm the bride's sister, I had an integral part in their marriage. I was mostly standing in the mandap and doing some rituals as the pandit ji asked me to. Up close, It felt beautiful to see my sister getting married.

It was one of those times when I felt nothing other than a blissful feeling. The image of Ezhil anna tying the thaali (nupital chain) around my sister's neck was carved into my brain. It's just so exquisite to look at. They both also had delicate smiles on their faces during that moment and I wholeheartedly blessed them as I sprinkled flower petals on their head.

Further, I didn't miss the way Karthik had gazed at me, right at that instant. I knew what he was thinking, it was the same notion as mine. Imagining ourselves in my sister and Ezhil anna's position.

Someday...we will definitely have this euphoric moment.

After the marriage, everything following it, happened impetuously, such as the numerous rituals, the meal, the photoshoots, the dance and singing entertainments, etc...

The hours passing by felt like seconds and before I could think straight, my sister was soon about to leave from the auditorium in the car with Ezhil anna.

She was crying and hugging our parents. Kannagi akka somehow consoled her but as Ramya akka saw my tears-filled eyes, she again burst into sobs.

She hugged me and we held each other rigidly. From growing up with two siblings to letting go of all of them with time, it really hurts.

After a brief instance, Ramya akka left me with a small kiss on my forehead. It truly was a horrible feeling to watch my sister disappear away in the car while with tears, she waved her hands to us. I mirrored her action, my state as same as hers.

Kannagi akka kept on pacifying me and I quit wailing eventually.

It was already about to be evening, and we were now in our home, cloaking on new clothes to attend the reception, before which we would have to go to Ezhil anna's home. It's a tradition to scrutinize the house the bride would be living in.

I wore a dark blue plain and full saree, with elegant designs. After my puberty function, this was the first time I have worn a full saree...

Later, the females got in the van to attain Ezhil Anna's home while the males were busy loading the furniture and other things such as a dressing table, bed, refrigerator, and washing machine in the truck.

Karthik must also be in there and so we both didn't get the chance to see each other.

Once we have reached Ezhil Anna's home, the bride and groom were already moved to the reception hall. However, his parents and some of his relatives were there, who provided us with tea and snacks.

I was impatiently watching the entrance for Karthik, while reclined on the couch in the veranda.

Soon, a huge truck stopped by and males carried in the aforementioned items. My Karthik was there too. Clad in a blue shirt and black slacks, his attractiveness was just so irresistible.

We coincidentally matched the colors of our outfits too, which stitched a warm sensation inside my heart.

In the rush, we again didn't get time to stare or talk to each other. However, I knew he must have glanced at me, at least once...

As we again made our way into the van to attain the reception hall, it was almost twilight. Thankfully, the males also got into the bus this time and I was given a chance to stare at Karthik.

He makes my heart flutter!💓Where stories live. Discover now
