bound by rituals

her teary eyes 💔

POV: KABEER

I am waiting for siya but suddenly a screaming voice heard " maa papaa siya di ko kuch ho gya hai " it's Shreya , everyone go up and where I saw siya is on floor. " My whole body feel pressured , can't think about what happened to siya " when doctor came and told everyone that she is no more due to heartache.

" I am just freezed tears filled in my eyes because I never thought that the girl I am going to marry is no more , everyone is crying "

When siya's father bow at everyone and asked everyone to leave suddenly the firm voice heard and it's dadi she said "hum barat vaapis Khali hath nhi ja sakte , agar siya se shadi nhi Hui tu apko apni choti beti ki shadi kabeer se karni ho gi yahi hamare khandan ki pratha hai jo ki apko nibhani padegi , kisi ne bhi ni socha tha ki asa kuch hoga par aj is mandap per shadi to zror hogi , yeh to apko bhi pta hai Mehta ji ki yeh hamari sanskriti me hai nhi to asubh mana jata hai " on that time I realised that dadi is not goona change his decision because she is rigid and determined when it's come to rituals, customs and culture.
But I decided to go against dadi if Shreya don't want to marry me because I can't ruin shreya life just because of Rituals.
After rajbeer Mehta come out of room I asked him " kya mai bat kar sakta hu Shreya se agar apki ijazat ho " he said yes to me.

When I enter the room Shreya is crying and when I went near to her for asking she standup from her place " I can feel how she is feeling now she is filled with full of emotional "

I asked her " Shreya agar tumhe yeah lagta hai ki tumhe shadi nhi karni to tum bhar jaker mna kar sakti ho mein apni dadi ke khilaf Jane ke liye tyar hu par agar tum mujhse shadi karti ho tu mein tumhe hamesha har waqt har pal sabse protect karunga or yeh mera vadda hai tumse"

I don't expect Shreya will ready to marry me but she said " mein apse shadi karne ke liye tyar hu " she does not speak after that because she is still in shock because of her sister death.

" I hold her hand and go down with me for phereas"

While phereas tears are continuously coming down from her eyes " I said to her you can cry on my shoulder after marriage I will not stop you and I will support you for rest of my life "

After phereas I put vermilion in the partition of her head and mangalsutra in her neck . Pandit ji said " shadi sampan Hui"
because of siya death we went back to house because new bride cannot stay at place( according to his dadi it's asubh)

" Shreya stopped crying but her body is freezed in whole journey and I take Shreya home by car still she is in shock not giving any reaction to anything " I feel terrible sorry because it's hurt me to see Shreya in this way "

KABEER's bed room

After aarti and grahparvesh I took Shreya in my room and ask her to sit on bed .

" Shreya have some water " I asked "but I can see she is not in her right state of mind"
