THE STORY OF BANGALORE...!!

CHAPTER - II

An early morning, everyone is busy with the marriage works both the bride's and the groom's. Both the homes-entrance, doors, floors are decorated with colors, flowers and other celebrations. Bride, Sri. Harika, has the brightest smile on her face like she had won the best of her life. She has been waiting for this to happen since 2 years when the groom left her saying "I'm not interested". Now as he accepted the marriage, she thought that the color of the rainbow is going to fill in her life with her loved one. She has a decent job as a software engineer as a fresher with a decent package and the groom, who has the work experience of 5 years in the field, has the high salary package than her. From the day she saw him 2 years ago, she fell for him harder but when he said that he is in love with his team head and he left her without any further information.

Finally the D-day has arrived: their Marriage. The houses filled with the relatives. Before the marriage the couple went to the pre-wedding shoot, and then the boy received a call. "Hello!", from the other side "we got an issue in the room I just solved it", after a pass " Are you enjoying the marriage??" the call ended.

After the call the boy gone sad, the bride was observing all things. After the shoot, they went to a restaurant. The bride wanted to know the issue with call but ended up with no words. After they got back home, the marriage is ahead... they started the Haldi ceremony. The groom is on the same call during the shoot for the whole haldi night.

Both the families gathered at the marriage venue which is to be held at a well-known banquet hall. Marriage is a lifelong commitment of a husband and a wife. As per the Indian tradition, marriage is a festival of bonding soulmates across a red line for seven long lives, so the function hall design gave the vibe of a festival. The awaited scenery was began, all the relatives and friends seated at the hall with full of joy and happiness.

All the family of both the parties sat at the wedding alter, the priest started the manthras as soon as the groom arrived after performing some kind of ritual the priest informed the brides people to bring the bride. Both are seated opposite to each other with a thin sheet of cloth in between them to let the priest perform 'Kanyadana'. The brides parents performs the ritual by washing the grooms feet and offered their daughter's hand to the groom who promises to love ,respect and protect his bride for life. Then they perform 'Jeelakarrabellam' means cumin and jaggery. The couple place this paste on each other heads moving their hands above the curtain. At a particular time of muhurtha, they will be seated to each other and the curtain will be removed. The groom ties the sacred yellow thread 'The Mangalsuthra' smeared with three knots. Then thalambralu, pradhanam, kanyadhana akshatha, sapthapadhi, and arundhati naksahathram... all the events in wedding went as per the rituals.

But something was nagging in the groom's mind. He was constantly thinking of his Banglore life and especially about someone. But it is of no use when he was tied to the bond of marriage. Everything went as smoothly as possible. His dad and brother took care of everything regarding the event which made successful and their heart was delighted. The new weds returned to the groom's house. Now it's going to be the start of their new wedding life. The bride wished everything to be as happy as she is right now. But little did she know what was in her way of her journey...
