Ayushman's POV
It's been four months we met for the first time and life has taken a total 360 degree turn, I mean to say it has turned blissful. Each day I wake up with a smile on my face that yes I do have a person whom I can call mine whose first priority is me and mine is her. My sleeping patterns have also improved drastically because if I'll not sleep on time then I will have to be ready for a complete one hour lecture and after that madam's mood just falls so I try to sleep as early as possible but I know it has nothing to do with her lecture it's just her who made me feel loved and valued and made my heart at peace.
And today is our engagement the entire house is in chaos everyone is running here and there doing one thing or the other and I was in my room getting ready when dadosa entered my room and made me wear the safa and after that a sarpech (Sarpech is a kind of jewelry that is worn on the safa by the rajput mens).
We reached the Palace where the dastoor and engagement were going to take place and everyone asked me to rest in the room. But I was just being restless to see Hukum I know she is going to wear a poshak today and I've never seen her in the rajputi attire so I'm kind of excited to see how beautiful and ethereal she looks.
After an hour Aryan came in my room and said Bhabha bhabhisa is looking as beautiful as an angel and now after listening to him my patience is just held with a thread, I wanted to see her and take her in my embrace. I wanted to tell her how much impatient I'm being just to meet her but again I can't disrespect the elders by meeting her behind their backs so let's just wait. *I sighed*
I was sitting on the bajot placed in the middle of the stage and was doing whatever pandit ji asked me to because it was a compulsion and I had to do it in order to not hurt both my families. After that her dadosa came and made me wear a gold chain and I bowed my head in order to show respect, then her father came and made me wear a ring in my middle finger and blessed me for a prosperous future.
A few minutes later I heard the song changing to Aaj Sajeya and that was a cue that hukum is going to enter the garden anytime soon. I looked towards the entrance and saw her coming towards me with papa hukum and dadosa hukum(Chaitanya's father and grandfather) they came towards where I was standing and stopped at the stairs and I went ahead and offered her my hand, she looked towards me and I blinked my eyes to assure her that she can hold my hand. She placed her hand on mine and I helped her climb the stairs and I could hear our siblings cheering for us and an instant shy smile came on her lips.
Hukum was wearing an orangish poshak, she was glowing, the rakhdi and shishful (They are worn on the head you guys can see in the picture the round one is rakhdi and the one behind it is shishful you can consider them as headband) looked divine on her, she was also wearing chudi that made noise every time she moved her hands or when she fidgeted with her fingers being nervous, her makeup was alluring and on top of everything her smile, her smile is contagious maasi maa came forward and put some kajal behind her ear to keep the evil eyes away from her.
