N A K S H A T R A

“Dressing up my red dress
Putting on my veil
Little did anybody knew I was dying
On the inside, frail and pale.”
--------------------------------------------------

Sitting beside him on a mandap, I myself don't know how am I composing myself not to cry, everyone is putting on a mask of smile. The continuous clicking of the cameras was striking my head again and again.
“Ab aap vadhu ke maang me sindur daliye” pandit ji's word shook me again.
He lifted up my Vail, only to meet with my puffy red eyes. While putting on the vermillion in my hairline, and tying the the nuptial chain, he whispered some comforting words giving me an instant relief.

“Ab se aap dono pati patni hue.” I smiled sadly, tears left my eyes and straightly landed on the backside of his hand, which he was keeping on my palm.

“Congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Oberoi.” “Adhwit, why the fuck did you married this Sinister Dame?” came a crying voice of Anaya. Was she crying? This is the 5th time she's calling me wicked since papa has agreed to this marriage.
“ENOUGH. not a word against my wife now, or else I myself don't know what will I do. Now she is my wife, my pride, I cannot let everyone insult my pride, especially if it's someone like you.”
“what did I said wrong in that? If she is a wicked lady, then she is, nobody can change the truth, afterall, she ate my brother just before her marriage!” “eat? What do you mean by eat, as far as I know, it was an accident, there was no involvement on Nakshatra in that!” he said. “Who knows, probably this wicked lady might have did some black magic on him” Adhwit made a fist and took out his phone. “Hello, can you please come at the sent location, some lady is insulting my wife and putting allegations on her.” he said, “i will not be afraid of your hollow warnings. Do whatever you want. Truth can't be changed. She is a freaking scandalous sovereign.” Anaya said smirking.
“ Don't be in this lie, Adhwit is a man of his words, he does what he says” came Dhruv's voice from behind. It was enough for me, tears started to roll down my cheeks again and again, just as Adhwit sneaked his protective hand on my waist and squeezed my hand giving me a nod, “i will not let you happen anything.” he mumbled.
In a moment, some police car horn came into my ear and in a moment, The mayor of the city and Commissioner was standing in front of him. Everyone was equally shocked, including me. I had no words. “The lady over there, was calling my wife as a wicked lady again and again. Kindly ask her to say sorry to my wife.” he said pointing towards Anaya. The mayor and Commitionar bowed before him and asked anaya to say sorry to me. They talked about some minutes when Mohini aunty slapped Anaya. “In the death of Aditya, there. Was. No. Fault. Of. Nakshatra. Did you get that? I know you are hurt, but gather yourself...” she said to her and she came towards me and said sorry. I said nothing.

It was the time for me to go home, his home. Maa ran to me crying, but surprisingly no tear came out, untill it was Mihir Bhai and Nupur. “If possible, please forgive me baccha!” he said, his tone filled of guilt. “its okay. It was never your fault bhai!” I said. “I'm sorry little champ, I couldn't spend time with you!” I said. “Heyyy di, don't call me that. I'm already 20.” he said. “But you'll always be my little champ! From whom I'll always be jealous, for performing better always!” I said.
“Nakshatra, the car is ready, and I think we should leave, it's already too late.” Adhwit said and I looked at nupur and Mihir Bhai for the last time.
I sat in the car, getting numb. “I am sorry Nakshatra, please don't hate me. It was just, I couldn't see my friend in such a grief.” I smiled. “It's okay, infact you helped me from getting my life ruined.” I said. “Can we atleast give a chance to this unknown relationship. If anyone of us finds our true love, then it can divorce the other. Untill then we'll try to live together! And try to fall for each other” the deal was good. Well I don't think I'll ever fall in love, it will be him who will leave me, im sure...

Well, after moving for about an hour, I reached and the first thing that came into my mind after seeing it was.....

--------------------------------------------------
Wearing my muted attire,
Lips sealed, no tale to confess,
The world spins, but I stand still,
A silent heart with a hidden will.

They see the veil, they see the grace,
But none can read what's on my face.
In the shadows, I slowly fade,
In my own sorrow, I'm unmade.
