Manan- Unacceptable Relation

chapter-2

Murthy Mansion.
Anita was ready and was looking in the mirror and was smiling thinking about how Manik will react after seeing her.It was an arranged marriage. She had met Manik just twice. Once at her house when he had come to see her and once at a coffee shop.
She had figured out that he was very caring and understanding. Inspire of belonging to a super rich family he was very down to earth. She was wondering if he would be able to accept a simple girl like her. Though she was rich as well but was very simple .
Just then her mother entered and saw her daughter all decked up as a bride.
Padma- Anu beta tu itni badi kab hogayi pata hi nai chala. Kal tak tu meri choti si gudiya thi aur aaj kisiki wife banne jarahi hai.
She had tears in her eyes. She hugged her daughter and said that she should just as she has taken care of this house pretty well she has to take care of her new house and Manik also. She said that Manik is a very good guy and she has to fulfill all his wishes just like an ideal wife.
Nandini and Pia entered and they had a family time hugging crying and consoling each other.
Just then the servant came and told that the baaraat has arrived.
Padma wiped her tears and asked Pia to stay with Anita and took Nandini with her to welcome the baaraat.

Manik was on sitting on a horse and all the relatives and friends were dancing ahead of him in fultoo Punjabi style.
After Manik got down from the horse Padma did his tilak and aarti and welcomed him inside. Then she hugged nyonika and welcomed her and other guests too.
Nandini was pretty much excited on seeing Manik her jiju. She was continuously blabbering about the decorations , and what all preparations she had done for her Di s wedding.
But Manik's eyes were searching for Anita. He wanted to see his bride. Cabir and Navya were patiently listening to Nandini's talks.
In the meantime panditji announced that the mahurat has began and asked to get the bride.

Padma asked Nandini to get Anita . Nandini rushed to get her.
As soon as Anita descended the steps , Manik's eyes got stuck on her. The only word that escaped his mouth was"beautiful ".

All the customs were followed including the custom of hiding grooms shoes. Cabir tried every possible trick to save Manik's shoes but Nandini and Pia were way too smart for him.atlast cabir accepted his defeat and Manik had to pay amount(nek).
Now was the time for bidai. It was way too emotional for Padma ,Pia and Nandini to part with their sister. Manik and Nyonika assured that she won't be having any problem in her new house and they will take care of Anita with utmost love and care.
With heavy heart Anita bid goodbye to her mom and sisters and set out for new journey with Manik.

Anita and Manik reached Malhotra mansion- where Nyonika did their aarti and grih pravesh.

Anita was mesmerised with the decoration and was lost in her thoughts just then Manik entered and bolted the door. He came towards Anita who was feeling too shy. He sat on the bed and took her hand in his hand and kissed her knuckles lightly. Anita gasped . Manik removed her veil and lifted her head by placing his hand below her chin. She closed her eyes. He called her name . She opened her eyes slowly and looked into his eyes.
Manik- Anita I know it's all very new for you. Even I m equally nervous. But I assure you that I will keep you happy always and try to fulfill all ur wishes. Ur happiness will be my first concern. I won't do anything which hurts you. I promise one more thing that I will always love u unconditionally and nobody trust me nobody can take your place in my heart and my life.
Anita was touched by Manik's words and hugged him. They stayed like that for few more minutes. Then Anita broke the hug and said
Anita- I love you Manik. And I trust you more than myself. I will fulfill all my duties as ur wife and will try to keep u happy till my last breath nd I know that you won't break the promise which u made now.
Manik- yes I won't break it.
She had tears in her eyes. Manik cane close to her. He wiped her tears and kissed her cheeks one by one and moved towards her lips. He kissed her lips passionately and made love to her. That night they became two bodies one soul.
