Our Pristine Love

Chapter 09

~ Likhun main tere naam saari umar
Main chahun tujhko hi aatto pehar
Basaon teri galiyon main apna ghar
Jiyaare
Jiya re basa hai tera roop aankhon mein
Jiya re sochun main tujhe chaand raaton mein
Jiya re khoya mein rahun teri baaton mein ~

Aarohi's POV
Everyone steps out from the car except me , as nobody told me too. After sometime a girl in pink poshak came , she is of Tanu's age I guess.

" Khamma Ghani Bhabhisa " she greeted me by joining her hands together, she is Kumkum Baisa my nanand ( sister-in-law )

" Ghani Khamma Baisa "  I greeted her back whispering, hopefully she heard me.

" Padharo...baare aajao " ( come out )
She said smiling and I nodded.
She helped in coming out & then my sasuji, Rishiraj hukum's mother came...I bent down to touch her feets and she blessed. She took the white cloth away & then we went to main door where Rishiraj hukum is waiting for me outside and dholis are playing dhol thaali.
After gathbandhan , Maasa did our aarti and tilak.

Coming in hall , I have to pick the thaalis lying on floor now... This is an ritual that when the bride comes in her new home first time after marriage, she have to collect the thaalis lying on floor in line
The groom will slide the thaal in zig zag position using his sword and bride will collect them behind him.

Rishiraj hukum slides the thaalis on little distance only so it became easy for me to collect them plus a Bhabhisa is also helping me because of my heavy poshak.
After collecting the thaalis twice the ritual is done finally.
Bhabhisa gifted me gold ring and some cash as a gift for this ritual.

We then directly proceed towards the small mandir in a room to take god's blessings. Maharaj ji lit jyot too

" Rishi banna & Bindani baajot maathe birajo " ( Rishi Baana & Bindani , you both sit down on the baajot ) The same Bhabhisa who helped me earlier said , I guess she is Rekha Bhabhisa , Yashveer Jethsa's wife.

Kumkum Baisa helped me in sitting properly , after settling down. Bhabhisa brought a thaal of heena & Kumkum , she told us to dip our hands in it and then print them on wall. We did as they said & then again the same rituals started which we performed before bidai.

" Bhabha who won in your sasural ?? " Kumkum Baisa asked Rishiraj hukum curiously.

" Our Bhabhisa won chotu " Harshvardhan Banna replied proudly.

" I knew it...my Bhabhisa is best " Kumkum Baisa jumped in happiness and hifi to Harshvardhan Banna.

" You have a brother too guys !! " Hukum faked jealousy

He is bad in acting...

" Kon ?? " ( Who ?? ) both Banna and Baisa asked innocently like they seriously don't know.

" I am sure kuki, Bhabhisa will win this time too " Banna said.

We dipped our hands in the bowl , this time I myself found the ring but decided to let it go , I already won at Rathore mansion na.

I slid it towards Rishiraj hukum & took out my hands from bowl.

" Banna won !!! "  Rekha Bhabhisa declared as she saw ring in his hand
