Dharini's POV
Today, we organized satsang (devotional activity) at nearby Shiv-Parwati temple to pray that everything goes well. I'm wearing red suit as I don't know how to wear saree and mumma told me that anyways I will have to wear it everyday in my in laws' house and for that, she got me blouses stiched for new sarees and matching underskirts.

"Jijiiii" drishu called
"I'm here" I replied from balcony
"Haww jiji, how beautiful are you looking"
"Thankyou drishu" I lovingly hugged her. Sometimes she treat herself like she's some lead actress and sometimes react as if she is my fan, like just now.
"Now lets go" I said.
My home is currently packed with relatives. My grand parents sleep on my and drishu's bed. We both sleep on the matress spread on the floor. My chacha chachi and their three kids sleep on matress in papa's study room. My two aunts and uncles sleep in the living room. My maternal grand parents sleep on mumma papa's bed and my parents sleep on the matress. Papa also rented a guest house for some of the relatives.
My marriage is in 6 days and if I say I'm nervous, it would be an understatement. I'm feeling like animals are running in my body. I wonder, does he feel the same?
We went to temple, after offering prayer, we sat on the mat in the premises. A relative of mine started playing Dholak and other two started playing Manjeera. We all started singing devotional songs. And this is how first function of my wedding ended well.

Anav's POV
Tomorrow Dharini is coming here. Her Mehendi and haldi function will happen in the rest house. Also, she will meet her to be extended family tomorrow for the first time. I hope no one break her heart.
The home is full of relatives but luckily, I'm sharing my room with jijaji only.
I heard ma's voice. She is talking to someone on call, more precisely, she is talking to Dharini. I also want to talk to her. In hope that she will give phone to me, I stood beside her.
"..don't worry Dharini, we all are waiting for you. Come soon.."
Ma noticed me and gave teasing smirk,
"..um Dharini, someone wants to talk to you"
Before I could take receiver, Sanath fell from the stairs and started wailing loudly. As I was nearby, I rushed to him, he scraped his forehead, which started to bleed lightly. Everyone rushed here to console the baby and I realized, ma already put the receiver down.
