POV :~ KRITIKA

As soon as I laid down on my bed, realization hit me hard. I was no more Kritika Verma. I am Kshitij Gupta's wife, Kritika Gupta.

The vermillion in my head, the nuptial chain around my neck, us taking pheras, silently promising to each other during each round we took around the sacred fire.

My mother is not my only family now. I've a big family. Including my mother-in-law, father-in-law, aunt, uncle, their kids, his bua, Dhruv even his friend, Rohan. I've a responsibility over my shoulder now. I'm the eldest daughter-in-law of Gupta family.

My mattress dipped beside me, feeling someone was beside me but all I could focus was on my thoughts, my feelings, my racing heart with my closed eyes.

"Kya soch Rahi hai tu?"

I heard Priti's voice, while she slid inside the blanket on left side of me.

"I am no more myself, Priti. It feels completely different," I replied.

She chuckled, "I know, Krii. It must be exhausting and overwhelming all at same time, right?"

I nodded my head.

Sayesha slid beside me inside the blanket on right side, placing her limb over my abdomen,

"I can't believe the one of us is married. It feels different to me too."

I chuckled looking towards her, "Why do you feel different?"

She narrowed her eyes, "Arey, now you'll start hiding things from us. We'll not get the details about your life. We are not habitual of it, you know."

I shook my head, holding her forearm, "Are you mad? Do you think I'll be able to resist myself from narrating the details to you both?" I looked at Priti, "Hn? Do you think so?"

They both shook her head, hugging me tightly, "Thank God your vidaai is tomorrow after the reception, otherwise I would have been dead by now, shedding tears for you," Sayesha said.

"I'm glad too, I was way too tired," I replied.

Priti laughed, breaking our hug,

"I wonder what will be your condition tomorrow night."

I scrunched my nose, "What? What's tomorrow night."

Sayesha laughed while Priti chuckled,

"Your Suhagraat, babes."

God. No. No. No. Not that word. Call me prude, but I don't want to hear that word, not when it involves the other big prude, Kshitij. Although I know nothing will happen as such between Kshitij and me, still, that word doesn't sounds good.

"Will you two let me sleep now?"

Priti laughed again, "Yeah yeah, sleep all you want. Afterall our jiju will not let you sleep tomorrow, the entire night."

I huffed. These two. I turned on my abdomen, holding a pillow and closed my eyes.

Kshitij, Kshitij, Kshitij — Stop!!!! Stupid mind, let me sleep.

I covered my ears with the pillow and finally after few minutes, sleep engulfed me.
