Wild Romance

~THE WEDDING DISASTER~

The heavy attires were making me difficult to move but somehow I made it. My eyes were swollen due to not getting proper sleep yesternight. After the mantras the priest announced
"I know pronounce you both as husband and wife".
We stood up and took blessings from our parents. My father was crying and this is the first time I saw him crying after I lost my mother. I hugged him and assured him that I will be fine. He smiled and gave me blessings. My step mom was also crying and I knew it was fake as I knew her very well. I hugged Aryan and he asked me to tell him if anything wrong happens and that he is always there for me. I felt blessed to have a brother like him. Although we were not real siblings but he never allowed me to feel the emptiness and never put me down unlike his mother. After meeting them I sat in the car behind him(to whom I am officially wedded now). He didn't spared a glance at me throughout the ceremony. He didn't looked at me when I sat beside him and It didn't made me feel good. I had researched about him earlier and came to know that he was one of the most eligible bachelor of the country and girls died to spend time and their lives with him. In the picture of one magazine I found him really attractive(*omg what was i thinking!!).
He was surely handsome and had a keen interest in buisness. He joined his family buisness right after finishing college and is now at a good position. He had done major projects with biggest firms of india and his next project was going to be with Sharma Enterprises thanks to this wedding alliance. He was really tall and his features were sharp and if looks could kill he was definitely the killer. He was five years older than me. I was 23 and he was 27. That's all what I knew about him.
I saw him undoing his tie and resting on the car seat. We were sitting on the back seat of the car with his sister in the front and his brother in law driving. His sister was really nice to me and talked with me often. His brother in law seems to be a good man too. They were a happy couple and I don't know why I thought that my married life could be like this too. But I was wrong, I didn't knew about the disaster I was going to encounter.
On reaching my new house he left immediately from the car and I was shocked at his move. Ridhima di helped me get out of the car as I was wearing heavy lehnga and the jewelery had scratched my skin to an another level.
"I know this feeling! I too had irritation wearing this at my wedding but it was all worth it." She said and I smiled a little.
After all the rituals I was exported to my new room with Ridhima di on my side helping me with my attire. She took me to his (our)room and I was shocked to see such a giant room. I too belonged from a wealthy household but my room was not this much fancy. It only had bed and my study table where I worked. But this room was something else. His pictures were there on the walls and he was looking handsome as usual. The dressing area and bathroom was attached to the room. The room screamed richness and I couldn't help but admire the beauty of his room. Ridhima di helped me to sit on the bed. She smiled at me and was leaving when I suddenly asked-
"Di can't I change?"
She was a little shocked and said
"Your husband is not here yet so...."
And it was true.  The last time I saw him was getting out of the car aggressively and thereafter he disappeared. All the after wedding rituals were done by me only. His mother was really nice to me and for the first time I felt warmth in any lady except my mother. His father also blessed me and was just like my father.
"But it's very uncomfortable di..."
I managed to say hesitantly.
"Looks like your mother didn't told you about your first night after the wedding.." she said and I got some idea of what she was talking about. My stepmother didn't talked with me much and I was not expecting what di was saying as now I knew from his behavior that nothing was going to happen between us. She started explaining me and also told me about her time too. I felt shy hearing this but at the backend of my mind I knew it's not going to happen.
"You know kaynat, my brother is really good at heart. He doesn't like to talk much and is not much expressive about his feelings.He is always at work but he loves his family more than anything in this world. It may take some time but I know you both will make it work."
She said wisely and I was shocked at the confidence she had for us. I hesitantly smiled and she pat my head before leaving.
As soon as she left, my mind started replaying today's events and how my life had changed. Now I was a married woman. The daughter in law of Sehgals. And waiting for my husband to arrive. My sleep was taking on me and I struggled to keep my eyes open but at last my lashes shut close and I don't even remember falling asleep in this heavy lehnga and on HIS bed!!
