PREM : Dosti Aur Dil Series Book #1

37. Hayeee...

Ridhima's pov

I quickly turned my head in the direction of the window when I heard the sound of drums.

Chacha ji went down to welcome them and told me he will call me down in a few minutes.

Nandini came and playfully hit my shoulder with her shoulder. I looked at her and she raised her eyebrows.

"Soo impatient haa?" She said making me blush.

"There is nothing like that okay. I was just startled to hear the loud voice." I lied to save myself from her teasings.

"Yeahh yeahh. You can't lie to me ridhu. And anyway he won't be visible from here. Stare at him from the window." She said and dragged me towards the window.

"Nandu sto-" I stopped my sentence midway once I saw him dressed as a groom.

He was sitting on the horse. I grinned happily once I saw him dancing a little while searching for me at the entrance.

I quickly ran inside once I saw him look up at the window as he felt someone staring at him.

That's when gauri di got chacha ji's call. She looked at me with a smile and said "He is calling you down ridhu."

Karan's pov

My breath hitched once I saw the love of my life, my goddess walking towards me.

She walked towards me slowly and shyly while lowering her eyelashes.

She came and stood infront of me and made an eye contact with me, allowing me to look at her beautiful eyes.

I was just lost in her beauty when I heard my mother say "We really do have a goddess as our daughter in law."

I automatically smiled and nodded because each and every word is true.

I pointed my index finger at her and then at my heart. I clutched it with both my hands and gave a deep sigh.

"In simple words, Hayeeeee....." I said holding my heart.

She immediately looked down while blushing and everyone around me said"Hayeeee."

We both looked at them in amusement and shock. Then we chuckled and made eye contact again.

She lowered her eyes again. Uff she is sooo shy today. Then we finally made entry towards the mandap and started the Pooja.

Then her father was called for kanyadan. Her eyes teared up but lit up immediately when she saw chacha ji coming forward.

I held her hand and he tied her dupatta to my cloth with teary eyes. He kissed her forehead and got down.

Then we stood up for jaimal. Her bffs brought two varmalas for us. As she was about to keep the varmala around my neck my friends picked me up.

She tried her best to jump and keep it around my neck. Then she looked at me with puppy eyes and I lowered my neck to which everyone hooted.

When it was my turn papa and chacha ji lifted her up making her giggle.

She looks soo cute when she is happy. I was lost in my thoughts when my mother nugded me to keep the varmala around her neck.

She signalled them to put her down and I finally put the mala around her neck.

Then we took 7 phera around the holy fire while holding each other's hands.

And then finally I put sindoor in her middle partition and tied mangalsutra around her neck making her mine forever.

"I love you Mrs. Singhania." I said with teary eyes.

"I love you too Mr. Singhania." she said and a happy tear rolled down her cheek.

I wipped her tear and kissed her forehead. We both stood up and took the blessings of my parents, kailash uncle and my other relatives.

Now it was time for the viday ceremony. Even though everyone were having tears in their eyes no one cried.

Instead they happily sent her while cracking some jokes. Which I am happy about because I can't see her crying.

We sat in the car and I started driving the car while my parents came in another car.

She leaned on my shoulder as I could see she was very tired. Ofcourse she would be.

Her lehenga and jewellery are very heavy. I held her hand and placed it on the gear before leaning my head on her head for a few seconds as I had to drive.

I woke her up when we reached home as grah vravesh is still pending.

"This lehenga is soo heavy." She said while getting out of the car.

I quickly picked her up in my arms and she did not protest as she was very tired.

First my parents went inside and then they did our arti at the entrance of the gate.

I was about to enter the door with her in my arms but my parents stopped me.

"Karan you have to put her down for her to walk into the home." My mother said while chuckling.

I nodded unwillingly but slowly put her down. Maa bought a plate filled with Kumkum.

Ridhima dipped her hands into it and kept it on the wall of the entrance.

Then she held my hand and kicked the kalash filled with rice.

"Put your right leg first beta." My father said and moved aside to let her come inside.

She lifted her lehenga up a little and dipped her feet in the plate filled with vermillion.

She took a few steps leaving red foot prints behind which signifys the presence of Laxmi in the house.

"Maa is there any other ritual left?" I asked and she nodded.

"There are many left but let's do them tomorrow. Now you both go and sleep." Maa said patting our heads.

I picked ridhi up in my arms and headed to our bedroom. As we were getting closer to our room I could feel her growing shy and nervous.

To be honest she looks soo pretty right now that I am unable to control myself. But I also know how tired she is.

I entered the bedroom and made her sit on the bed. She lowered her head and started fiddling with her fingers.

I took out some comfortable clothes from her suitcase which was laying on the floor.

I sat beside her and gave her the clothes. She looked at me confused.

"Weren't we going to..." She asked slowly.

"We will but later. You are very tired baby." I replied leaning closer.

"But karan-" I cut her off in the middle by putting my index finger on her lips.

"You know very well that if we do it I won't let you sleep the whole night. Anyway you need lots of sleep and energy baby." I wishpered.

She nodded while blushing and I helped her remove all her jewellery.

Then she went into the bathroom to change. I leaned on the bed with a heavy sigh.

After some time even I changed my clothes and was waiting for her to come out.

She came out in her cute PJ's and was looking very relieved.

She was just wearing her mangal-sutra,bangles,sindoor with open hair. True beauty.

I pulled her on the bed beside me. I dragged her closer to me by her waist.

"Not even a kiss?" She asked innocently. I chuckled and immediately kissed her.

I started massaging her scalp and she snuggled closer to me. I closed my eyes and we both dozed off to sleep.

I can happily saw that Mrs. Riddhima Karan Singhania is my wife.
