Marriage for me meant my freedom from the ones whose blood I share.
I needed it to do what was required of me. It was never my plan to include him in this. My revenge was gonna burn them...
It was a saree, the dress he gave me, white colored one with a light brown blouse. The cut of the blouse was deep on the back, I knew one of the scars would be visible, I didn't want to hide it but I never liked revealing it too. So I just let my hair loose, to fall over my back.
I looked in the mirror and when I felt I looked okay, I left the bathroom. I didn't wear anything else other than my nupital chain and the chura on my wrists. A small brown bindi to match my blouse, the vermilion was over the vanity so I had to come out. And he was standing in front of the vanity, I knew he heard me coming out but he didn't turn.
He was adjusting his sleeves, folding them till they reached his elbow revealing his forearm. A white shirt with pants same as my blouse, he got us matching outfits. The beings that stayed in my stomach got excited at the thought and started dancing.
I moved towards the vanity and stood behind him, nor too far neither too close, just enough that I was visible with him in the mirror. He paused, his eyes following a path from my eyes to my feet all in the mirror and he smiled. I went forward and just as I attempted to pick the vermilion box, he took it away.
I thought he'll apply it on me like the first day but he just combed his hair, held my hand and started tk walk. " Wait. " I said and he stopped. " What's wrong? " " Sindoor. " I said motion towards my head and he shook his head, " Not today. "
" What do you mean? " " I'm not taking my wife on a date, I'm taking my love on a date. " He's crazy, what's the difference, I'm his wife. I can't just not wear it because he doesn't wants me to. I tried to go back but he held me, " You.. "
" Don't bother, it won't look good with the saree. That is why. " Then you should've selected something that'll match, is what I wanted to say, but I couldn't, " But.. " " No buts, we're already late. Let's go. " And he dragged me away. I didn't bother arguing further knowing it won't take me anywhere.
He drove us himself, just like he does everytime when it's two of us. We first went to a theatre, I was already dreading what he had in his mind, when he confirmed it. " Come. Let's watch a movie. " " We're adults. " I said matter of factly, as if it was supposed to clarify my stance. I've never watched one even when I was a child, he knows it, so I don't see the meaning of watching one now.
" I don't think adults are forbidden from watching movies. " He just said this before leaving the car and coming to my side before opening the door. " But.. " " Come on. " He held my hand and all my resolve went in drain.
I came out but he took a detour before going to the theatre, a restaurant, if you could call it that. Because it felt like a room, which was decorated for a dinner and that is exactly what it was.
Size of a office boardroom with a table in the middle, decorated with Tulips, Daisy, Carnations, Forget me nots, Jasmine, Cherry Blossoms, Lilacs, Daffodils. Everything that could represent, love or beginnings it was there. I didn't see a rose.
In the bunch of flowers there wasn't the one that is used mostly to represent love, he had used every other than that, there were messages on the bouquets. I moved towards them and he stayed behind, I felt his eyes following my every move.
