Naina's POV :::
Looking in the the mirror , staring at myself with a blank face ...the maroon lehenga hugging me perfectly at my curves and how pure my bridal form looked ..the way the heavy jewelleries shaped me face making me look the prettiest of all times , the makeup which did it's best to hide my pale face and slight dark circles which appeared because of all the crying and were the result of not sleeping yesterday night ....they say that wedding day is most important and special for the bride as she is going to bid her farewell from her parents'house and start a new life with her in laws , her husband while will cherish her and love her till eternity.....was it going to happen in my case ..thinking about this a single tear escaped from my eyes followed by numerous more .....looking at myself being a bride of someone else and not your love was shattering but I was not at fault ......
The bridal choodha and kaleera all signified the symbols of a bride but not his.....and of someone else...I was crying while looking down at my hands which were adorned with dark mehendi ...when suddenly the door opened of my room I looked up to see that it was my mother along with my father behind her ...I turned back standing up from the vanity chair ..she stared at me with love filled in her eyes which were successful to hide the guilt her eyes were displaying ...her eyes became teary and she started walking towards me while I just stood there clutching my lehenga in a tight fist not knowing what to do controlling my tears which went out of control the moment she hugged me and I hugged her back bawling my eyes out .. her hands rubbing my back to calm me down ..after few minutes I calmed down still hugging my mother and opened eyes taking in the presence of my father ...his eyes were teary and tears in the verge of falling out , pure guilt reflecting his eyes but a helpless and loving mixed expression on his face ...looking at me with a soft smile standing there patiently ...
" Papa ..." I called out , getting out of my mother's hold I ran to him getting wrapped up in his warm embrace ...my mother joining our hug .....after a few minutes of our little family moment my father said ..
" Beta ..neeche jaane ka time ho gya hai .." I nodded and pulled back from the hug wiping away my tears ..and he held my hand with a protective grip leading me on the aisle before my mother keep my ghunghat on my head ..my brothers came in and picked up the phoolon Ki chadar which consisted of roses , jasmine and lavender my personal favourites and sheltered me with it one of my brother gave me an assuring nod and one cousin gave me a side hug understanding the emotions revolving inside me ...
Shaurya and Roohi were my favourite cousins of all time they were the children of my bua Maheshwari ..even though their mother literally hated me they didnt , they supported and defended me in all my difficult times ...I was thankful to God for providing them to me ......
We descended the stairs my eyes were fixed on the floor not daring to look up into anyone's eyes ..when the we entered the hall and I ascended the aisle oonchi oonchi dewarein song started and tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered that how we were awake whole night , deciding our wedding playlist involving those lovey dovey talks but now......oho what am I even thinking , I should move on from him and focus on my life ahead ....I am getting married right now and I should focus on my life with my now would - be - husband but was it easy to move on ? Was it easy to forget that special love I had for one special person for 4 years ? ..thinking about these I looked up and my gaze locked with the person I was reaching to ....I was holding the eye contact with him and he was doing the same , and through that I somehow felt a connection towards him .....was it because I was getting married to him? Or was it something else ? I didn't realise when I started taking small steps towards him and my brothers stopped way before me letting me walk alone to my future without their support...as now he is going to support me in my every phase of life ......
