< 30 > The stealing glances & kisses

Mishti :)

All the rituals ended on a good note, we clicked a lot of pictures as well.. Mivan bhai gave the Rajvansh cousins a blank cheque and in return they gave him his shoes , lol.. We all did our dinner except Abir.. He didn't. Nobody forced him as well.. As the vidai rituals started, everyone started crying..

Me and mumma were standing near the car. Sharanya's condition was miserable, I held mumma's saree in a tight fist. One day I would be crying like that. Abir was standing towards the end, near the car door.. I don't know why my eyes filled with tears seeing his face. He was not crying, but his emotions were totally visible on his face. He was breaking down inside..

As Sharanya came to him, he hugged her, hiding her face in her neck. She's crying loudly, but there's no voice coming from Abir.. By studying his body language, we knew he was crying as hell.. Yuvan uncle patted his back, he didn't move a bit. "Abir let her go, she's not going anywhere. Calm down, " uncle said, but he was not ready to leave her. .

Mivan bhai held Sharanya, but Abir didn't let her go.. I moved to him and held his hand. I pulled him to my embrace, he hovered over me completely resulting me in stumbled over my feet, but I held myself back.. His hand tightly wrapped around me, he was crying like a baby pushing his face in the crook of my neck, without making any noise. My heart was breaking..

"Hey she is going from one family to other.. She's going to stay with you only, you know na you are son of both family, then why are you crying. She's not going anywhere far, she's with you! " I said and hugged him back, caressing his back.. Sharanya got into the car, I looked at her.. Her concern filled eyes were on Abir, he was not looking at her because he was crying in my arms..

"She is going, look at her once! " I whispered , he shook his head negatively. I felt like someone was punching my chest, seeing him in so much pain was devastating me.. "Start the car, it's getting late, " Yuvan uncle said to the driver and closed the door of the car.. A tear dropped from my eyes, Abir squeezed me more in his arms , as the car started his sobbing increased..

"Please don't cry, " I whispered, my voice breaking.. After the car left, he parted away. Without even looking at anyone he just left inside. I was standing there like a statue, aunty went behind him.. "You should go, we will take care of him! " Yuvan uncle told me, "But uncle-" He cut me off.. "He will be fine, don't worry.. Tomorrow is the reception, you all need rest.. So just go and take care! " He said, opening the car door for me..

I looked back at the house, my heart was not ready to leave. "Please take care of him, " I said to uncle, he smiled at me and nodded.. I got into the car and the driver started the engine.. It's around 12:00 at night.. I placed my head on mumma's shoulder, tears were dropping from the corner of my eyes.. She didn't say anything, but just caressed my arm..

After one hour of driving we reached Agarwal mansion which was in Rajkot.. Sharanya's welcome rituals were done, her condition was normal. She's not crying anymore.. I was not even in a mood to tease them, because I was worried about Abir. Mrinal bhai and Maanvir didn't leave bhai's room, they didn't give the newly wed couple a little privacy.. It made me chuckled.. Bhai had to call chachi and chachi scolded both the brothers and finally they left his room, giving the couple their much needed privacy..

After changing my lehnga, I took a bath and changed my tampon.. I felt so much better as I dropped myself on the bed, I was wearing my comfortable nightwear which was relaxing.. It's 2:00 am, I couldn't decide anything, whether to call Abir or not. I knew he must be awake, so I dialled his number without pushing my brain more.. But his phone was switched off..

I messaged Ayansh bhai about him..

How is Abir? His phone is switched off. Everything is okay there?
