Bhavesh leaned in closer to her lips almost touching his lips with hers and whispered "I missed you Jaya. So much that you can't even imagine it. I always craved for you. To be around you. To be with you. Did you miss me too?" Listening to him Jaya...

Next Day,
Jaya's POV:
I still couldn't shake my thoughts about our kiss. Our first kiss. It felt like a dream. Such a serene dream. Locking my thoughts in the backside of my brain I focus on getting ready for the wedding. Finally, my brother and my best friend are getting hitched. I have seen the longing in their eyes for each other. I have seen my shadow of longing in their eyes for each other. This day brings 2 joyous moment. Today my Bhai's marriage and tomorrow mine and Bhavesh's 9 years of marriage. I will be going back to my house.
I got ready quickly wearing Gharchoda/ Gharchola which my in-laws gave me during my wedding. (PS: In kutchi wedding all the women close relative's wear Gharchoda/ Gharchola in the wedding. It's basically an unofficial ritual. Also, Gharchoda/ Gharchola is something which can be only wore by married women's.)

(Jaya's look but the draping of saree will be Gujarati style)
Getting ready I hastily wear my jewellery and keep my hair open as it is slight wet because of yesterday's rain. Even thinking about that rain, I get a slight blush on my face. I observe a red and purple mark on my neck. Connecting the dots I get that this is my husband's doing. Touching it I get reminded our not so innocent activities of yesterday. Trying to not blush and make my hair look good I am off to veranda. Looking after all the things which we need to get with our self to Deepu's house. I finally look at the Gharchoda saree we bought for her years ago. But we also bought another one few months ago with mine. Basically, my mother-in-law wanted me to wear Gharchoda when I come back but she didn't want me to repeat the same saree for 2 days hence she bought me a new one. With that even my mother bought a new one for Deepu as the first one is 8 years old.
I saw my Bhai(brother) descending the steps a new happiness could be seen on his face. Once he was down, he looked around and saw that not many people were ready and present in veranda. Laughing at his eagerness I started calling everyone, knowing if I didn't my bhai would definitely.
Soon all the rituals started and it made me remind of my wedding day. I don't remember evrything clearly but foggy picture of some is imprinted in my mind. Completing all the rituals Bhavesh mounted my brother on a mare (female horse). Soon the music started which led Keshav (Bhavesh's brother) to drag me in front of mare and he asked me to dance. Accompanying him I started to dance like crazy. Soon Bhavesh was dragged near me and he started dancing too. Everyone was enjoying and doing dance. In the end the Garba started and everyone forget that we are in baraat and not in Navratri. Seeing my brother's impatient face my father had to stop music reasoning 'so that we can reach Deepti's house before the auspicious time'.
The perks of being groom's sister is that you get tons of gift and money in Shagun. Well, I have not counted how much I have got but it surely is very much. Right now, my main focus is on my Bhai's shoes. I have made Bhavesh and Keshav my soldier for today, to protect my Bhai's juti (traditional shoe wore by both men and women). I don't want groom's side to lose in this game. Hence when everyone was busy by helping Deepti, I carefully slide them in my legs. Keshav was in backyard standing with a tote bag I gave him the juti' s and he wrapped them in the bag, putting bag in his sherwani's pocket. Pheww mission successful.
Soon I was called upon the mandap to tie the gatbandhan (when scarf of groom is tied to bride's saree's pallu) which I happily did and prayed in my heart for them to have a life full of love and support from each other. Never ending happiness in their life. I wished for them to get their every wish.
After which soon the pheras started. At the 4th Phera my parents were called and I passed them the Gharchoda since they had to put it around her shoulder before the phera. The wedding ended in a blink. It felt like yesterday that I saw the longing in their eyes for each other and now they are together forever. The lunch was a chaotic business. Apparently one of the uncle accidentally pushed the vessel of Puri's down. Alot of puri got wasted and people had to wait for the new batch to be made.
Completing the lunch it was now time for Deepti's Vidaai. Looking at hers I remembered mine in bits. I will have to go tomorrow to my in-law's house. My house. Away from my parents and Bhai. The journey from Deepu's house to ours was a short journey. Just 2 lanes away.
After the grah pravesh everyone was resting and some aldready had changed from the heavy outfit to light. I took Deepti to my room and asked her to sleep for some time clearly seeing the tiredness on her face. I got changed and slept beside Deepu.
Maa came to wake us up during the dinner time. I was like a zombie. All the fatigue and endless walking running during wedding is now wearing me off. I asked my mother to send food for me in my room only. Luckily my mother-in-law came with a plate in my room and started feeding me with her hands. I inquired "Baai did you had your food?" she replied positively and said "I did betu. Don't worry about anyone you just rest for now. Anyways tomorrow we have to go back to Gundala after lunch. I am so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because you will be finally coming back and sad because in few days my all children will go to Mumbai." Hearing her my stomach dropped the fatigue and sleep faded and my hunger vanished. I will be leaving my house again and this time both of my houses. Going to a different and unknown city. How will me and Deepu adjust to everything. We basically are still 18 and we have to now be a wife and manage entire household. I didn't show any discomfort o my face and continued my happy chatting with my mother-in-law.
After feeding me dinner Baai went out of my room instructing me to sleep. I did as she told. But now Baai's words and my overthinking clouded my brain. I tossed and turned almost for an hour before sleep engulfed me in her arms leaving my worries in the back of my mind.
