"Mein aapse shaadi Karungi Sidharth" Shehnaaz was sure like never before . She knew this honesty meant much more than those extravagant false promises , she knew from her own experience.
"Are you sure Shehnaaz ?" Sidharth was afraid . He had never felt this before . He wanted her to go away and at the same time to never leave him . He felt he doesn't deserve her . The innocence in her doe eyes since the first time he saw her , scared him . He wants the best for her .
" I have never been this sure about this alliance " Shehnaaz voice shook with the chills . She felt overwhelmed . Never received respect from partner .
A cold wave passed through his spine hearing her response . He pulled her towards him in a swift , his hands covering the entire of her back .
"Agar aaj nahi gayi, toh kabhi bhi jaane nahi dunga Shehnaaz " Sidharth was sure . Their breath mingled . Shehnaaz felt dizzy with all the sensations. Sidharth's eyes throught her veil screamed possession . He knew how scared he was , his heart knew he wouldn't be able to accept if she decided to part ways . He had no idea what it was , but whatever, she was very important to him , very much important. The thin layer of veil between the eyes couldn't lessen the intensity of emotions which they felt.
Shehnaaz's phone ringed breaking their moment .
" Haan Trisha ... Woh... Aarahi hoon" Shehnaaz cut the call without speaking more.
"Shehnaaz" She stopped at the door .
"Bohot khubsurat ho tum" Sidharth said taking her breath away .
" Jaldi aaiyega baarat leke , mein aapki raah dekhungi " Her words came out as a whisper . Red hue painted over her face , she ran out of the room with the brightest smile . She had felt this happy after a long time .
**********
Sidharth's heart plummeted with each step Shehnaaz took towards him. Marriage , the amalgamation of two souls . The walk , felt like the marriage itself , where in one end was her world , her family and the other end was him . The walk symbolised that she was transitioning from her own world and creating a new world with Sidharth , her groom .
Shehnaaz was nervous yet happy . Happy after what felt like an eternity . She still didn't share her past , it felt wrong . But what mattered was that ... She felt the confidence to tell him ... When he bared himself open , it gave her a strength too , to share ... And most importantly to accept whatever happened . So , now she walked with pride ... With happiness ... With her head held high ... To her destination .. to what oddly felt like home .
It was Varmala time !! And Indian weddings were incomplete without the fun during Varmala. Sidharth was already tall for Shehnaaz when he was raised in air by Varun and his cousins . She whined inaudibly looking at the Everest of height she needed to overcome to place the varmala around his neck .
Sidharth chuckled at her attempts and bent himself forward till she could reach him . And everyone was in awe of the groom !
Shehnaaz too was raised by Shaurya and other relatives to stay in competition . Sidharth took it as a challenge and lunged upwards to place the varmala successfully around her neck .The whole atmosphere was filled with holly chants , soft music , chaotic kids running here there , photographers flashing light at their faces and honestly a lot boredom for the bride and groom . Shehnaaz almost dozed off due to all the tiredness . Shaurya pinched her from the side and everyone had a hearty laugh watching the siblings fight like kids .
"Var vadhu phero ke liye khade hojaye" the priest said . They circled around the holy fire seven times vowing to wholeheartedly fulfil marital duties .
Shehnaaz shivered when the cold metal of Mangalsutra touched her skin . Sidharth filled her hairline with Sindoor and they were married. It felt unbelievable yet fulfilling .
" Shaadi Mubarak , dear Wife " Sidharth whispered in her ears .
" Shaadi Mubarak to you too , dear Husband " Shehnaaz felt the same .
Sorry for the short update . But I didn't like to extend the wedding sequence unnecessarily just so that my update turns out long .
