'Impure blood' Rocky's father mumbled. Reena didn't seem to be bothered anymore. But Rocky was.

Rocky stood beside Reena and got his hold on her wrist. ' say a word against her, and I will literally show you the depths of earth.' Prakash came in between them understanding the situation.

'Let us go home now, even they have to leave for Bombay, everyone present here is requested to have their lunch in my home.' Prakash announced

'Raja and Reena both of you get ready.' Prakash said and began to bid bye to the guests.

Reena stared at Rocky, 'sorry.. I just lost my cool, i didn't wanted  to make you uncomfortable'  he said leaving  her wrist. Reena was now assured that this Man was different from others. She was somewhere happy

Taking the blessings of all the
elderly  people standing in the temple. The newly weds started to go back to the house, changing their wedding attire  Rocky dressed up in his all usual attire and Reena wore a simple cotton saree, her eyes were teary. Ashiamma hugged her 'I always wished to have a daughter and found you.' She kissed her forhead, and turned to Rocky ' take care of her and yours. Keep visiting'  she said wiping her tears, to which Rocky nodded

Rocky was engulfed by his Mama who was controlling his tears
' keep my daughter happy and safe. I am giving you the piece of my heart.'

Prakash hugged Reena as he bid her bye.

'Baba take care, don't drink water  directly after work, and Don't keep eating too much sweets... and..'  reena was saying as she was instructing Prakash from the bus.

'Yes I will magale don't worry maa'

And as the bus left from the Bairya village, and finally she broke down into tears. Rocky was sitting beside her.

'You know you could visit him, anytime you want.' Rocky said softly
Forwarding his hankerchief

Reena nodded she was sniffing like a small baby, she took the hankerchief and began to wipe her tears. The journey was quite no one talked. Reena staring outside the window of the bus watching all the greenery and Rocky watching the blowing hairs of Reena. The journey was long, and tiring.

Around 8 pm Rocky and Reena entered Bombay. The thin roads bustling with people. This was all new for Reena she has never seen such visuals. She has never been to a city, She was following Rocky as a lost puppy.

'Bhaii..' the man under Rocky's building said as he saw rocky. Rocky handed him all the luggage as he helped both Rocky and reena to reach their room.  Rocky's Room was in the Second floor, it was a old  building, the stairs made up of woods,  Reena saw other families living in the other rooms. Somewhere sleeping, somewhere cooking food and etc. 

Rocky opened the locked and entered his room, reena stood back and placed her right leg in the room as a auspicious entry. She scanned the room. There was small balcony, a kitchen cum hall and a separate bedroom.

'Reena will you use the washroom or shall I? ' Rocky said reena was startled as she was busy in watching the house.

She nodded.

'Rocky itne dino se kaha tha, shetty pagal ho gya ha..'  chacha stopped as he saw the female figure infront of him, who looked confused and was also startled by his entry.

Chacha observed her from head to toe, green glass bangles, hands painted with mehendi, gajra in hairs, and the turmeric stick tied in between the yellow thread around her neck. She was Rocky's wife.

Reena stood there watching the 5 men mumbling something. She greeted them by joining her hands.

'Beti where is Rocky?' Chacha asked overcoming the shock of Rocky got married all of a sudden.
