THE PRE-WEDDING CEREMONIES
Rishi
She is crying. Why is she crying? Why is she coming out of his room? Did he say something to her? What did he say to her?
There are so many questions I want to ask her, but her teary eyes and flushed face does something to my heart which keeps me from asking those questions.
I loosened my grip on her chin. Her glassy brown eyes where looking into mine. She is looking like she is about to break down any moment now.
My gaze travels down to her slightly parted lips as she was about to say something. But a sudden voice echoing through the hallway got our attention.
"Tomorrow, the preparation for haldi ceremony starts, so be sure to send a reminder to our guests..."
It's ma! Shit! If she sees us like this, she might misunderstand and I will be doomed!
Before I could take any initial action, birdie suddenly pressed herself closer to me in utter panic, making me flinch a little.
Come on Rishi! It's not like you haven't been with any other women! Why are you flinching just because she suddenly got closer to you!?
But then again...she is not any women...
"Birdie, what are you doing?" I whispered in her ear. She didn't answer.
She was looking at the direction of the voice with frowned brows.Her eyes, which were filled with sadness a second ago, were filled with panic.
Then she looked at me with widened eyes and said, "I think it's Anjali ji" while inching closer to my face.
Is she doing this on purpose? Or is she just acting dumb after making my heart to jump like crazy? She is also wearing a saree for god's sake!
"Birdie I am not a deaf and I can sure as hell...recognise my own mother's voice."I said with tight lips.
"She is going to see us!"
"She won't. " I said as I distanced myself ,grabbed her hand ,dragged her further inside and opened the first door I see. As soon as we get inside, I closed it. It was a store room.
"What th-" birdie started to shout.
I quickly closed her mouth before she could make any noise as I heard my mother's voice coming closer towards us.
We both sat down against the door with our ears pressed on it.
"Oh no, what if she sees us?!" birdie whispered in genuine fear.
I paused for second. I tilted my head side ways with furrowed brows.
Okay....What?
The reason I am afraid of my mother seeing us is that she might think that I made my bride-to-be cry in night and will surely kill me for doing it.
Why is she afraid afraid of my mother seeing us?
"What.. what do you mean?"I asked to her, to which she just stared at me. Dumbfounded.
"Why are you afraid?"I voiced out my inner thought.
"What do you mean 'why'?! If she sees us she might think..."she paused.
I couched back with a smirk on my face. Raising an eyebrow, I asked, " She might think what?"
Slowly, birdie's face started to show the different shades of red as she just realised what she had gotten herself into.
