The Unplanned Marriage

Regret

As I came the only thing in my head is why did I say something like that to him . God what is wrong with me ? He must be thinking that Ira has gone mad . I really regret saying that to him . What if he stops talking to me now ? What if he doesn't want to see me anymore ? I try to sleep but I end up thinking all night .
And just like that here I'm sitting on stage for the mehendi ceremony.
One mehendi artist has been doing it for the last 4 hours . I'm tired of sitting for hours but at least this way I can sit in peace . Otherwise almost everyone keeps talking to me about stupid things . Things that I am literally not interested in . After that night I didn't talk to Rehan he did call me twice but I didn't pick up. It's better if I say away from him . My head kept getting messed up the moment I saw him . I needed this reality check. Rehan is not interested in me . I need to move on from him .
"Kya naam likhna hai ? The mehendi artist asked me as she is almost done with her mehendi.
"kuch nhi " I replied to her .
"Rehan ? " Ria who was sitting beside me said .
I look at her . Did she heard everything that day ? But I realised that he is here .
" Hi " . He said
I can't look at him . He must be here to tell me that I should get over him and all .
" Hogaya " the mehendi artist said as she was done with mehendi.
" Thankyou " I replied to her .
"Ria mai ander jati hu I'm tired sitting here for so long. I'm really thirsty " I said looking at her and trying to escape  the situation.
"Are nhi . Aap thodi der aur bheto yahi abhi tak per ki mehendi sukhi nhi hai " the mehendi artist said and left as she was done packing her things .
"Koi na . Mai paani leke aati hu " before I can take any objection she left .
Shit . I wanted to escape but here I'm in front of him Abb mai kya karu .
"Dhekho gi bhi nhi abb tum ? Rehan asked as he sat beside me .
"Esa kuch nhi hai " I replied still not looking at him .
"Toh phir dekh kyu nhi rahi ho " Rehan said .
God why can't he just take the hint .
"Umm ... Vo ... I think of a reply.
" Ira . Can we please talk about it " Rehan said
"Kya baat karni hai . I think kuch baki nhi hai baat karne ko . Look mai tab bhot stressed thi aur maine bina soche bol diya . I'm sorry.I really didn't mean it" I replied to him finally looking at him .
"Ira I know but  " before he can finish his sentence Riya came holding water glass .
Atleast she came before things gets to awkward.
"Thanks" I said while drinking water.

The whole ceremony was over . Rehan couldn't say anything after as everyone came . I'm still confused about this thing . I tried to talk to Ria about this but she said that it's just the wedding jiggles. I slept early today as I couldn't sleep yesterday.
I woke up and got ready. Every room was packed with people. Both bedrooms were taken over by my cousins . In the hall all men were sitting and women's in kitchen.
"Aao beta breakfast karlo " my badi ma said . (Badi ma as in bade chacha ki wife)
"Nhi badi ma bhuk nhi hai " I replied.
"Are karlo vese bhi ess Ghar Mai tumhare last breakfast hai kal toh hum hall pe hoge aur uss ke bad tum vapis aaogi nhi ." She said to me .
"Vapis aaoungi nhi ka matalab? Ma mujhe ghar se nikal rahi hai kya ki mai kabhi vapis hi nhi aaoungi ?" I said angry. Why is everyone telling me that it's last day here .
"Are matlab shaadi ke baad toh tumhari ma bhi toh Vansh ke saath shift ho rahi hai toh yaha thodi vapis aaoge " . She replied to me .
I was really shocked. Ma never told me that she is shifting with Bhai .
I looked at her hurt . And by her face I can tell that badi ma told the truth.
"Are phele pagphera toh yahi hoga . Vapis toh aayegi tab " Ma said making excuses it seems.
"Ha " I replied and left .
I finally sit in the balcony alone. Ma is  shifting to other city with Vansh Bhai matlab yaha koi nhi hoga . I won't be able to see her . I'll be all alone in this city . Was she that tired of me ? Ki mai nikali aur vo turant Bhai ke yaha shift ho rahi hai? Maybe she was waiting for me to go .
I'm trying really hard to not take this to my heart . But this fucking hurt  .
  Ishaan called and we talked for 15 min basically what his mom needed at the wedding and how it should be done.
"Ira " preet called me. She is my cousin.
"Ha ? I asked her
"Vo tumhari sari bag pack hai ? Bua puch rahi thi .Hume dupher ko hi Jana hai lawns pe toh kuch reh na jaye ." She asked
"Almost ho gaye hai . Mai kar deti hu abhi " I replied and went in my room
After packing everything we left for the lawns . The first floor was for my family and the second floor was for the groom's family.
In evening haldi ceremony was done . At almost 12 pm I changed and slept on the bed as I was supposed to get up early
