His Arranged Love

2.| Shivaay

Marriage is never for me! Not in my life I ever throught of getting married. But here I am sitting in the mandap waiting for my to be bride

Life was good a few days ago , I was busy in my work and life but that shitty promise is  costing my whole life. 

How will I love her?

 I don't even know who she is 

I don't know her background 

I don't know what she likes and what she dislikes 

She also probably doesn't know me and my life

How will I live with her my whole life? How can I give the 7 vachan to her when I myself is not ready to live a life with her 

Wait! 

I stood up from the mandap and made a quick call

"Yeah keep the papers ready and send it to my house" 

After speaking I sat down 

I was waiting for her to come so these rituals can start soon

And here she was "Saanvi"

Wearing a red lehanga with a beautiful diamond necklace and long earrings. 

Her lehanga embroidered with gold and has fine work

I got to know that she herself made that lehanga as she is a fashion designer 

As I saw her coming towards me I stood up wearing a cream colored sherwani 

The sherwani is designed by her because my parents requested her to make one! 

You see they requested her!

 I earn that much that I myself can buy the most expensive sherwani but they decided to ask her to make one

She was walking down the aisle alone with two people behind her 

Her face was shining bright in the moonlight 

She has done fine makeup 

Red lipstick 

Light Brown eyeshadow 

Pink blush 

She has MOLE near her lips

And some strands of her hair falling in her face which makes her more elegant and beautiful 

I didn't even realise when she came so close to me 

And at that moment I  looked at her eyes

Hazel orbs 

Her hazel orbs met my black ones 

Hazel vs Black 

Her eyes had pain and unshed tears as if she was crying before coming here 

Yeah as she is going to in a different house and live with a complete stranger 

But that's what life is isn't it? 

I signalled her to sit and we both sat down 

Time passed by and the rituals started 

"Vadhu ke pita aakar kanyadaan kare" 

Her father came and did the rituals and then kissed her head 

But there wasn't a flicker in her eyes no tears no happiness nothing! 

She was just staring at the the fire 

Time passed and the pandit ji asked us to stand for the pheras 

"Vadhu aage chalegi" 

She started moving and we started saying the 7 vachans 

First: I promise to be with her in every part of her life and support her through the thick and thin

Second: I will keep myself affectionate to her and will love her  Will I be able to?

Third: I will always respect her and never abuse her

Fourth: I'll provide her with children and happiness throughout her life

Fifth: I will always cherish her 

Sixth: I will provide her with everything a roof and good good food 

Seventh: I'll love her and be with her till eternity 

The pheras took place and we sat down infront of the sacred fire

"Ab var vadhu ke maang me sindoor daale"

I filled her partition with sindoor and some fell on her nose 

She closed her eyes and a tear fell from her eyes

"Shivaay to bhot pyaar karega'' I head people saying this 

Only if they knew I have no feelings for her no i will ever have

Time passed and it was the vidai time 

She was crying holding a boy's arm 

I think he is her brother 

"I'll miss you aru" she spoke and he gave a kiss on her forehead 

He helped her to sit in the car and she looked at me with painful eyes

"Uhhh here" I passed her a handkerchief 

"Thanks" she whispered 

I started the engine when I saw her crying 

I wanted to console her and hug her 

But I can't I really can't
