Raghav walked to his room, it was quite late. He was totally excited for the occasion but at the same time started to develop cold feet. He became anxious and nervous. Raghav has done it many a times but what made him anxious.

Maybe it was because the long wait for finally over and it felt too surreal for him, or may be the idea of them officially married was taking time to register in his mind. He wondered the various reasons for his nervousness as he climbed the stairs leading to his room.

He felt uneasy in his stomach as he knocked the door. He realised it was opened. He opened the door as his heart was beating faster and palpitations increased.

The light was dim, she was sitting in her wedding lehenga on the bed with a ghunghat on her head. It was surprising for him. He didn't expect anything but this was far from his imagination. He smiled seeing her. She could see him through the net cloth. He stepped towards her and stood near the bed.

"Ye lijiye!" She handed a glass to him. It was creamy and white. He thought it was milk because that's how the tradition goes. The wife offers milk to the husband before the nuptial night.

"Lijiye? Itna ijjat kab se Dene laga tum." He laughed and took the glass. He was hesitant.

"Kya tum ful  bollywood ke picture jaisa ghunghat leke aur doodh leke baitha hai." He sat in front of her.

"Pee ke toh dekho." She said.

"Ha! Ab aaya na tum normal bhasha mai." He took a little sip of the drink. It felt familiar to him.

"Ye kya hai! Protein shake?" He was shocked. She nodded.

"Waise toh haldi ka doodh dete hai par tumhe wo pasand nahi. Isliye maine tumhare pasand ki cheeze Dali doodh mai. Protein shake."

"Wohi mai sochu mera shaker kisne use kiya." He remembered seeing his shaker on the kitchen counter. He finished the glass within a moment.

"Aur isse tumhe Takad bhi milegi. You know, stamina boost karta hai." She laughed.

"Uska jarurat nahi padega par. I have more than enough." He smirked.

He couldn't wait anymore and lifted her ghunghat slowly.

"Tum ye kyu pehen ke baitha hai. Oh ha kyuki tumhe ye drama karna tha. Humhe pata hai tumhe gold medal Mila hai drama mai. Baar baar yaad dila ne ka jarurat nako."

"Waise nahi par, maine socha ab sab ideally ho hi Raha hai toh ye last ritual bhi kyu nahi"

"Tumne abhi tak ka sab cheez pehle bhi Kiya hoga. Ab jo tumhe pehle shaddi mai nahi Mila wo tumhara wish mai pura karega." She blushed.

"Hum toh phir bhi lucky hai, tumhe pata hai proper shaddi mai Pooja ke baad agle din pag phira jaisi rasam hoti hai jab lakdi aapne mayke jati hai aur uske baad yani shaddi ke pachve din pachpartavan ki rasam hoti hai. Jaha dulha phir se usse lene aata hai aur lakdi Wale uska swagat karte hai aur khana banate hai. Aur after that.. phir pati patni ko akele time milta hai." She said emphasising on the delay.

"Ye kaisa faltugiri hai, mai hota toh Mai na seheta."

"Phir bhi humare paas khud ka room hai, jab dada ki shaddi Huyi thi tab toh hum one room kitchen mai rehete the. Isliye unhe time nahi milta tha iska mujhe bohot dukh hota tha. Isliye atharva ka janam humare naye Ghar Mai hua."

"Mai samjh sakta hai par mera biwi mera sath hi rehena chahiye. kal bhi tum mujhe phasa kar chala gaya."

"Hehe, yaad hai tumhe."

"Toh, mai pillow ko hug karke sooya tha."

"Kya karti sab mujhe bula rahe the."

"Unko bulne ka na ke tum chup chap jaake soo jao aur mujhe bhi soone do."
