The Unplanned Marriage

Married

Just like that I married him . I said yes . I know that it sounds quite unbelievable. But I did what I thought was best . And even god knows how much I have prayed for him. Bs esse hoga yeh nhi socha tha.
It's 6:30 and I'm right now in a cab going to his place. Isse phele you people judge him he didn't know he was going to get married so he came on his bike but mujhe bike pe le jana vo bhi bags se saath so he decided to book a cab . And Sagar took his bike with him .
And in 20 minutes we reached.
Trust me this is really awkward. I mean I don't regret marrying him but going to his place is scary . I mean he called his sister to tell her everything but still he was supposed to attend a wedding not get into one so I'm scared to face his family.
"Chale ?" He said as we reached his place.
"Ha " I said and got out of the car .
He got my bags out .
"Mai pakad lungi " I said as go to hold the bag
"Mai kr lunga" he said while removing my hand from the bag . But I guess he forgot to let my hand go . I looked at our hands and he was holding my hand as we did this daily.
"Hi Ira " Suddenly some women came forwarding her hand .
"Hi ?" I replied confused. I tried to remove my hand from his so I could shake her hand but Rehan didn't let it go .
"Rehu agar tumne uska haath nhi chodha toh vo kaise mujhse milegi ? " She asked Rehan.
Rehu ? Wtf did he have a girlfriend or something.
"Sorry" he said and let my hand go quickly.
"Aap koun ?" I shook her hand and asked confused.
"Mai Shrestha his sister" she said .
"Ohh hi dii sorry I just got confused for a second." I replied to her . Shrestha di of course I remember her she was in our school.
"Ofcourse. It's been a long day right ? " She asked .
Was she angry at me ? Of course ! we got married and no one of his family knew . You can't accept a grand welcome.
I didn't know how to react to that so I looked at Rehan for help .
"Dii aap usse dara rahi ho ." He said to her and we started going inside the building.
"Mai dara rahi hu tumhe ?" She asked me
"Nhi " I replied almost immediately.
We got inside the lift .
"Toh tumhare inhe essa kyu lag raha hai ?" She asked me again .
"Inhe ? Matlab? " I asked her
"Your husband Ira ." She replied
My husband I looked at him the moment she said that and he was looking at me too. I don't know why but that fact didn't register yet that he is my husband now .
"Romance ho gaya ho toh chale ?" She said as the lift door opened .
I looked down when she said that . Now that we are in front of his house I'm too scared .
"You okay ? " Di asked looking at me .
"Nhi" I said in dazed .
"Umm ha " I replied as I realised what I said .
As soon as we got stand beside the door his mother was standing there . Di took bags from him and went inside .
"Rukho " his mother said as I was about to enter .
I stopped maybe she wouldn't let me inside.
Where would I go ? I can't go back home .
"Tum dono ne toh riwaj nibhaye nhi per hume chod ke toh nhi chalenge na " she said and went inside.
I looked at Rehan. What if I actually have to leave. But then he held my hand .
"Breathe Ira." He said looking at me .
And I take a breath that I didn't know I had held . Then his mother came with a thali and gruh pravesh kalsh . Phele unhone hamera aukshan kiya aur phir kalesh niche rakha .
"Right leg se karna " she said looking at me .
I did it and entered the house then I put my feet in kumkum thal and proceeded as she told me to . After 10 min everything was done .
"Hall Mai chalo . Mujhe baat karni hai ." She said looking at Rehan.
"Tum room mai jake change karlo mai ata hu " Rehan said to me .
I looked at his mother as she left .
" mai bhi chalti hu " I said to him .
"Nhi . Tum andar jao " he said .
Then he showed me his room and left .
It's been 15 min I can't hear anything. He didn't come back either . I sit in front of the mirror. I started to remove my hair pins to distract myself but after 10 minutes even the pins were still there . I couldn't hold back longer and the tears left my eyes . I don't want him to have any problems with his family because of me . What if his family ask him to choose between them and me ? Should I go and check outside that would look rude .
"Ira you okay? Tum roh kyu rahi ho ?" Rehan asked. he was standing behind me . I didn't notice him before. I got up and turned to him.
"Rehan I'll leave I don't want any problem in your family because of me " I said breaking down before him .
"Ira essa kuch nhi hai " he hugged me trying to console me .
"Rehan I really didn't want any of this . I'm sorry" I said to him crying in his arms .
"Ira please stop crying." He said and hugged me tightly.
And 5 min we just stand like that . And finally I stopped crying. Would it be rude to let him go first ?
Suddenly the door opened and we separated and I started looking down like a cat caught in an act.
"Sorry but abhi romance ki permission nhi mili hai "di said looking at us .
I couldn't even look up at her .
"Essa kuch nhi hai mai vo .... pin nikalne mai help kar raha tha uski " Rehan replied to her .
"Jo bhi hai you leave mai dhek lungi ." She said to him and asked him to leave .
We looked at each other. What would I do without him. I'm too scared to be alone . Like he understands what I'm thinking
"Dii bs 5 minutes" he said to her almost requesting.
"Rehu look how much you have changed ajj ke phele kabhi request ki hai ?" She said teasing him .
"Dii please " he tried again.
"Rehan .. god knows 5 min Mai tum dono kya karoge . Mujhe ajj ess bed mai sona hai so I won't take risks." She said to him .
My eyes widened when I realised the meaning behind it.
And he left immediately.
"Tum bhetho I'll help with hair pins first " she said and after almost an hour we were done with everything . God my clothes suddenly felt too comfortable after that heavy saree. I wear a simple kurta and plazoo . No I didn't wear this at home but as ishaan family was too strict I didn't wanted any issues.
"Wow!! tumhari mehendi kitni acchi aye hai . Haath dikhana." She said and looked at my mehendi closely.
Suddenly the door opened and Rehan came inside.
"Tu phir se agaya ?" She said to him still holding my hand .
"Mere kapde lehne hai " he replied to her looking at me .
And I suddenly realised I didn't even brush my hair after removing everything I just thought to let them breathe and left them open .
"Tere kapde Ira ne pehne hai ?" Di asked him
"Kya ?" He asked her confused.
"Usse kyu dhek raha hai ? Kapde lee aur jaa." She replied to him
"Haa " he said and started looking for his clothes.
"Di aapne baba se baat ki thi? " He asked her .
"Baba aagaye ? Kya bola unhone?" She asked him .
"He didn't agreed with it but atleast he understands the situation." Rehan replied.
"Ek second agar tumhari shaadi phele se decide nhi thi toh mehendi mai naam kyu hai iska ? "She asked me .
"Iska ? Iska nhi ishaan ka hoga." I replied to her . Maybe mehendi artist put it .
"Ohh? To tumne uska naam bhi likhvaya hai ? Tum pyaar vyaar toh nhi karti thi?" Out of nowhere Rehan asked .
I didn't knew what happened to him suddenly.
"Nhi naam toh iska hi hai " di replied after checking again .
"Dikho ." Rehan said and take my hands .
Then dii pointed where it was written and it was actually Rehan not ishaan.
"Di seriously essa kuch nhi tha I don't know ke eska naam kaise aya" I tried to explain to her .
I looked at Rehan hoping he'll explain but he was smiling while looking at his name .
"Rehan ? I nudge him .
He looked at me smiling
"Maybe tumhari kismat mai mai hi hu " he said winking.
I immediately looked down blushing. Why would he say something like that . That too in front of dii .
"Haath chodo uska aur bahar niklo " di said to him slapping his hand away . And I started laughing and he started pouting at her .
I slept thinking about him.
