Screem Of Mute

Samuhik vivah 2

Both mugdha and Aprna ware contemplating as to go inside or not. As they had gotten the Idea but execution is impossible for both of them.

Suddenly aparna's phone rang.

It's Arpita, mugdha read the name, and also watched the photo of the caller.

Now what is this model doing here? Please Mahadev help me and keep her out of my way today as I already had too much problems for today
Mugdha was praying to Mahadev in her mind when washroom door got opened and came the trouble sisters with capital T written on their forehead.

Aprna and Arpita.

Aprna headed outside and came with Arpita. Then it clicked to mugdha Aprna surely had called Arpita and told her about the surprise that Laila had given them.

Arpita asked mugdha to be with them, and act like a makeup artist and co-operate. Or else Laila being here will known by Arjun. And it will bring nowhere any good for any one of them.

Mugdha agreed, as she didn't have any intention to go out from here alone. as not only she thinks this place is not safe but too dangerous to be alone.

Mugdha, Arpita and aparna three of them went towards the receptionist and asked her they are here for makeup and that receptionist asked them to head towards the bridal chember. She was in so much hurry that she didn't even confirm that they are really here for makeup as authorised.

Being a model Arpita always carry her makeup kit and that come in handy today.
But when they were walking towards the big hall they were told that brides have their own make up kits and Bridal dress and jewelry provided by the organiser.
And this thing didn't fit well with mugdha.

From childhood to now, mugdha had lived in the life of struggle and hardships, and one thing is engraved in her bones that there is no free food in this world. Give from one hand then take from one hand.

This whole marriage thing is little not sitting well with mugdha.

Entering bridal chember where all brides are present, that woman manager introduces them to those brides and left. three of them locked the door and looked at chirping bride's. All three of them started to look at each other with 'this is not happening right?' Look

All bride's quited down as they saw the intruders.

Arpita started her work and took aprna as her assistant and asked mugdha to help the bride's with their hair's.

All three were in puzzle look, what is happening here? Why do all the brides look too young? not even eighteen.
And why these girls don't have their mother or any family members with them.

These brides look like kids, their eyes are innocent, laugh which carries immaturity, it's not normal, they are too young.

Dal main jaroor kuch kala hai.
( Cereals had something black in them.)

"Arpita di don't you think all brides are too young."
Aprna asked looking at the girls who are showing eachother dress and flowers and gajras.

(Gajras - flowers wield in tread to decorate the hairs. This is a common practice in most of the wedding to decked brides in flowers so she should look beautiful at the same time fragrant.)

Listening this Arpita looking at aprna told her firmly.
"Why are we here, don't forget aparna. Do your work and we will leave, their family is with them, we don't have to think much. Now go hurry up. Find that girl whoever is she."
Arpita ordered and started her work on another girl.

Aprna read the list and found the girl.
Bride no 57.

In samuhik vivah, all brides and grooms are given no so that it will be easier for the management to take the brides to their grooms, and arrange everything.

Mugdha walked towards a girl near that no 57 and watched the girl with widened eyes seating their in oversized dress. A girl who is eleven or twelve year child. Who is sulking like she didn't understand, what is happening but just irritated due to that dress.

'It's looking like child marriage.'

'Is it the reason police are here for.'
Mugdha thought, she knows if police are here and that also in hidden form. then there is no need for her to panic. she is not a certified to do heroic deeds to be the saviour of all these girls. She knows her limits and also trust the police officer who are trained to work for this.

Mugdha helped all girls in wearing their clothes and adjusting their hairs, all of the brides had done with their make up and hairs after one and half hour.
Only lipstick remains but Arpita told them that lipstick will smudge so wait for a while.

They all are ready to go. If lipstick is applied.

Now all mugdha aparna and Arpita ware thinking about the girl no 57 who was ready but looking too tacky in that oversized green dress

"Come on didi do something we have to do our work."
Aprna urged Arpita to do something.

There was a make up box that was placed for every girl, separate box for every single bride. but Arpita was not ready to use some non branded products as, she is accumulated to use branded products.

Mugdha was opening the lipstick box as Arpita had applied everything to them on her own, from her makeup kit, but not lipstick. as she doesn't want to share it.

Opening the lipstick lid,

"It smells so weird but similar at the same time."
Mugdha thought, and suddenly it drew to her. Her sleeping pills also smelled exactly like that.

Mugdha had savere insomnia. She can't sleep without sleeping pills, she was prescribed by doctor to have sleeping pills.
But mugdha still doesn't take them.
she slept for hour or two before marriage but didn't took the dose.

Now it is not a problem for her sleeping, when she slept with hriday.

But she is still knows the ingredients in her sleeping pills and their physical characteristics.

This lipstick is similar to her pills in smell but there is also something wierd mixed in it.

Why this drugged product are given to these bride's.?
Mugdha is in puzzle.

Mugdha had her lipstick and compact with her, as she was attending the wedding she had took that with her to look presentable, she passed it to all brides and asked them to apply it.

The little girls aggred.

Maybe thinking this is good colour as it is looking good on mugdha.

Their age must be 16 or 17.

Dal main kuch kala nahi,  Puri dal hi kali hai.
( There is nothing black in cereals , all cereals are black.)
