Samrat
After I got dressed, I went downstairs and saw everyone including my mom, dad, sister and grandmother is there and waiting for me to start the ceremony. My mom is preparing my food which I am going to have today as the last meal.
Look dadabhai(brother) has came. My sister said
My mom looked at me and said
Come sit here.
Maa what are all these? that too early in the morning. I said while yawning
Maa smiled while doing something.
You are going to have your last meal now as its a ritual for the pre wedding. My grandmother said
Is it necessary thamma (grandmother). I said because I am not in a mood to wake up early in the morning.
Yes it is. My mom and grandmother said in one go
I am totally clueless as I don't have anything to say as everyone started laughing looking at my condition.
Helpless me, took my seat on the floor and maa started performing the Aarti then from the bowl, she feeds me one spoon of food as its a mixture of yogurt sweet and flattened rice. Its taste good but early in the morning we not hungry right?
Anyways, then one by one started feeding me especially my siblings seems like they are more excited than me because it's their elder brother's wedding.
Are ato khawa jay nki?(Hey, can we eat so much). I asked Shreyan as he is feeding me the food with full spoon.
Kha kha dadabhai ar parbina khete. (Have it bro after this you cannot eat anything). Shreyan said
Amon kre bolchis mne hoy jomme eo r khete parbona. ( You are saying in such a way seems like I will not be able to eat forever). I said
He laughed to what I said
In this environment where everyone is happy, I can see that my maa's face looks very disturbed due to some reason. Seems like she looks worried. I thought to ask her but I got distracted by my sleep. I was feeling so sleepy that I decided to ask her later.
After everyone is done feeding me, finally I have the food by myself and again went to my room to sleep.
The rituals ends here
