My Soulmate

Chapter 5:

Kairav's POV :

I was sitting in the mandap waiting for my soon-to-be wife. I soon began feeling nervous like hell, why the fuck am I feeling nervous, "Maybe because you are going to get married smart ass", my conscience replied. As I was busy with my own thoughts I felt her enter the hall. I didn't look at her but still I knew it was her. As people started making it obvious. Soon she walked near the stairs of mandap I didn't realize when I got up from my seat and offered my hand to hold and climb the stairs.

I didn't look in her direction. I just offered my hand without any expression on face. She accepted my hand and climbed the stairs. She then sat beside me looking down. During the kanyadaan when her hand was kept on my hand I saw her hand trembling. After kanyadaan we got up for pheras. I again offered her my hand to get up as clearly the outfit was too heavy to carry, but here she ignored my hand. Like seriously, here even after being furious I am being generous to help her and she actually ignored it.

After pheras now was the time for mangalsutra. So when I was tying that to her, I felt a drop on my hand. No doubt it was her tear. It kind of pained inside to feel that drop on my hand. Like hell why is she crying man. "Because she never chose you idiot, it's a fucking turning point for her life", again I get my conscience trying to mock me. After that I took a pinch of vermilion and applied to my hair partition. As soon as these ritual was finished I could hear claps and everyone wishing congratulations.

Mirai's Pov:

As soon as we got married we took blessings from the elders. Me and Kairav started taking blessing from all elders starting from Kairav's mother, I bent to touch Kairav's mom's feet but she held my hand in the half way and pulled me into a tight hug while saying, "A daughter's place is always in Mother's heart not in the feet", and kissed my forehead making me more emotional than I already was. I won't deny the fact that she was one of the kindest soul I have ever met. May be just like my mother. Then we went to touch Kairav's dad feet and he too held my hands and gave a hug ,"bache humare Aarshivad hamesha aapke saath hai," then one by one we touched everyone's feet including Mr. And Mrs. Singhania.

After taking blessings Kairav's parents asked us to have food as we must be hungry. "No aunty thank you but I-I am not hungry but tired can I just rest in my room?", I responded quickly because honestly after all this chaos I definitely didn't feel like eating anything. "

Mirai bache, You are now married to our son so that makes you our daughter and do you recall any child calling their parents as aunty or even uncle?", she asked

Sorry Aunt- ahm Maa, Can I call you maa then?", I said nervously, "Ofcourse bete whatever you like", she said placing her soft hands on my cheeks.

Everyone was having their dinner and I was in my room all nervous and panicking. I had a glance at myself in the mirror. "My entire life turned upside down in just few hours", No one forced me to have dinner maybe because everyone understood that after being a replacement in someone's life it won't be easy to gulp food. So I decided to do something to calm my nerves. I am already confessing that I know it's not a good habit and I m definitely not proud of it. But a person does need something to calm their nerves and this is my way. I took out the box of Cigarettes from my purse along with lighter. 

(Note : Smoking is injurious to health so please not to smoke.)

I came near the window and light my cigarette. It does calm me. If and only if Karan was here I wouldn't dare to touch it. As he's always scolding me for this habit of mine. Like i already said I am not proud of it. But I do need it when feel like I can't survive the shit. And the mess I am in right now, well I don't know how I am gonna survive it. Atleast it would be much better than living with Singhanias. I am expecting that from the little conversation and gesture I received from Maa and Papa.

As I was about to finish my Cigarette I heard a knock and threw it alway out of the window. No one knew about this habit of mine except Karan also choti maa as she caught me multiple times while explaining me how bad it can turn out to be for my health. 

"Come in", I replied to the knock calmly. As soon as I turned to look at the visitor I found Him, Kairav Oberoi. He had his eyebrows narrowed. Looks like he's furious, Hell like I care."Yes?", I asked with cold voice.

Kairav's POV :

I don't know why but I decided to go and call her as we were planning to leave for home. As soon as I knocked the I found her standing near the window. She turned around to see and found me. Her expressions clearly explained that she didn't expect me. My eyes met her's and hell I was right about her crying, her eyes were swollen and red. Even though her make did well to hide that but nothing goes hidden from Kairav Oberoi.

So what will Mirai do now? Isn't Mrs Oberoi the sweetest?😁 I just love her.Stay tuned to know what will happen next.

Happy reading.!
