Media : Clarity by Charlie Puth

Hey guys! I am sorry for such a late update but I was kinda suffering from writer's block. I couldn't write at all but I hope you will what I got now...next update will hopefully be soon.

Hope you like this chappie... ENJOY!

Today's the day everyone has been waiting for : the day of the marriage. Everybody is just freaking out of their minds, checking on arrangements & managing all the guest but a sweet shining smile on their faces.

The week before was busy too. Everyone was working their asses off to manage all the arrangements for marriage. Engagement was also fondly done.

The Wilson family & relatives of both families came to the venue for the engagement & other religious marriage festives. In engagement, William had a gorgeous diamond ring specially made for me.

There's no second ring like that in the world. That was really....heart touching. It shows how much significance I hold in his life. It has never happened before. I never ever meant anything to anyone before. Of course for my parents I did but I am talking about others, outside my family. I feel so warm & happy inside.

A girl like me, ME is liked by people. It feels so awesome! I can't explain this feeling. So the entire time, I remain ecstatic & a shining radiant smile on my face was witnessed by all, whom in turn didn't leave the chance to tease me later.

Then there was the mahendi ceremony. Every female in both the families gathered & had intricate henna patterns drawn on their feet & hands. They all talked & enjoyed it, teasing each other regarding their partner's love for them. Yeah, the intensity of the colour of the henna pattern is believed to show the intensity of your partner's love for you. Some of the girl's giggled & laughed while some shyly asked the person drawing to draw their partner's name in between the design. They would be asking the men to find it, I guess.

"Snow, your mehandi's design is so beautiful." My friend Leela said.

"Thanks sweetie." I smiled.

"Look at those girls, they are having their crushes name drawn in between too." She said eyeing me while I smiled a confused smile. Why do I get the feeling... "You are having William's name drawn too, right?" She teased with a mischievous grin plastered on her face. I blushed.

"I take that as a yes! Oh sweet innocent Snowy asked to draw the name herself? That's so cute!" She teased.

"S-shut up!" I glared at her, flustered. "You better prepare for your performance tonight."

"Oh our Snowy got mad at me?" She poured which made me smile again. She continued then "Just you watch my friend, everyone will just be seeing me tonight!" She declared proudly.

"Yup, sure will do. After all you might be able to seduce your prince charming here" It was now my place to tease her.

"Shit! How did you know?" She takes a shocked expression. This girl seriously! I think as shake my head slightly.

"You know, I am really jealous of you. You got yourself such a handsome rich boy...no, man. The Man really makes everyone's eyes pop." She smiled.

"Don't eye my man!" I say almost instinctively, blushing furiously once I realised what I have said. Oh my god, it's so damn embarrassing.

"Wow, Snowy is capable of such feelings. I always knew behind that innocent facade, you had something like obsessive lover." She giggled, making fun of my embarrassment.

"Lee, would you stop using that pet name?" I ask irritated. This was also to remove her concentration from my embarrassing words.

"I would have if-" Lee was saying when my mom came to take me for yet another ritual. I always liked ritual, seeing how diverse our country was & how rich our culture was but right now, the liking is on another level. I am loving it since it saved me from my friends embarrassing remark.

My other friends too came one by one to meet me or should I say TEASE me. They really sometimes make me mad like my brain's gonna blast but I know they love me. Believe me, they are still alive because of that.

The night was glamourous as females & some males of both families came up to the stage to show off their dancing moves for the Sangeet ceremony. They looked really gorgeous all dressed up for their performance.

As for the performances, they were all fabulous. I was really dumbstruck. I really couldn't believe that some people could dance like that. It showed how much hard work they seriously put on for this day, for me. My mom & dad too danced on a couple song. They looked so perfect together, so much in love. I wish that William & I will be like that too. The thought made me blush. Since when did I start thinking like this?

Now my brother was dancing on 'Shape of you by Ed Sheeran. His performance was elegant & cool. I am sure everyone enjoyed it. The clapping at end was non stop with hooting. I think he has gained quite impressive amount of fans I guess. They practiced really hard for this & I really appreciate it. It brings tears to my eyes. Oh, how much I love them!

Next day, My mother dolled me up for the marriage. Marriage went smoothly too. The day was memorable. I cried my eyes out as realisation hit me that I can no longer live with my parents in the same house. Now I have to live with William in his house. Not that I am complaining but still, not seeing my parent's face everytime is not something I ever imagined.

My parents were no good too. They were crying too, harder that me. I didn't liked their crying but it also showed me that they loved me & will miss me too as much as I will. Or maybe even more.

William & I were now taking our seven rounds around the fire, promising each other seven promises & vowing to love & care for each other for the rest for our lives. He put sindoor (red powder) on the centre of the begining of my hairline & put the mangalsutar (a necklace that signifies that one is married in Hindu culture) in my neck.

Now we were married couple. I am so happy & proud to be his wife. Who won't be? He is a successful business man, handsome & loving.

Our honeymoon was awesome too. He was very caring & considerate. My parents in law made sure that I was happy with him too. Everything was just too good to be true but...

BUT one thing nagged me the whole time...he never touched me this whole time...
