Nishtha

2 days passed in a blur. Day before yesterday was the mehendi and it was a beautiful event.

We all sat at the Nanda house and I was running around constantly until Yuvaan finally sat me down and asked me to put the mehendi on my hand. I sat and did as he said while he sat down next to me and was feeding me as the lady put mehendi on me.

It was silent until Yuvaan took the cone from her hand and wrote a Y on my hand, and now as I saw it, I have a dark Y on my hand, right where my ring is. Likewise, he also has a N on his palm, where he decided to write a N.

I was blushing.
Big time.

Now, I was getting dressed in a pastel pink regal saree, which covered me modestly but has a little back showing along with a little chest - but no cleavage was shown. Of course not.

I did my makeup, wearing the same lipstick Yuvaan got me, and my hair was half tied from 2 small braids going from left to middle and right to middle, all connected by a small clip in the middle. My kajal adorned my light brown eyes and my hair was wavy, the caramel curls were flowing elegantly.

I was about to put my earrings on when I saw Yuvaan walk in. He closed the door and his eyes fell on mine. I noticed his eyes widen and I felt a blush coming. I looked down as he came towards me, stood behind me and looked at me through the mirror. I had a wave of shivers.

"What happened?" I managed to say.

I looked at him. He looked so good. He had the same pastel pink color sherwani matching my saree. He looked like royalty.

"I'm just looking at how lucky I am." He said as he played with the pallu of my saree.

I blushed, "Don't disturb me. I'm already getting late."

I tried to move but he caught my hand, "Mrs Nanda, you look mesmerizing. The show can't start without you."

"It's not my show - it's your sister's wedding."

"Our sister - and you're the daughter-in-law of the Nanda's. You think your presence is unnoticeable? We aren't starting without you."

"In that case," I said, giving him a small smile, "I need to get ready even faster, so let me go."

He chuckled, "I'm not even holding you. How do I let you go?"
"You know what I mean? Let me get ready."
"Get ready. I'm here." He said and I chuckled.

I got my earring and watched him look at me through the mirror. "Yuvaan! I'm not able to focus with you looking at me like this!"

He chuckled, "I see," he said got the earring from my hand, "Well I can't stop staring, so I'll help you instead."

He quickly made me wear my earring on both my ears as I watched him focus. Then, he looked at me asking what's next. I pointed at the bindi kept on the table. He took it and quickly placed it on my forehead. Then, I stepped away.

"You're ready." He said and smiled.

I looked at him, then looked at the table, took out a small box and gave it to him, "Almost."

He opened the box and smiled.
Sindoor.
The same sindoor I used to run away from, now I want my husband to put it on for me.
