Wedding diary (Complete)

18.New Home

When the plane landed in Delhi I was very embarrassed because of the previous events that happened with him. For the entire journey, I didn't speak a single word. He understood my mixed feelings and didn't try to start any conversation.

After landing we went outside the airport and said goodbyes to all his friends who came to Delhi along with us. The only person I noticed missing among them is Meghna. I have no idea where she was and didn't bother asking Vikky as it will make things weird.

We boarded an airport taxi and started towards my new home. It took almost 1 hour which tired me out completely. When we reached there, they requested us to wait outside as this is the first time we are coming home after getting married.

Gayatri aunty who is my mother-in-law now went inside and brought a plate full of things which are called Aarthi thali in Hindi to complete the ritual.

They sang one song while rotating that plate three times and later asked him to keep sindhoor on my face which he did and brought a smile to my face.

Then she kept one vessel filled with rice at the entrance of the home and asked me to touch that with my leg to make it fall which I did. And finally, we entered our new home.

The house is lavish and the hall itself is as big as my house that is in Bangalore. I was amused by that duplex house and the chandelier that is hanging in the middle of the hall. My eyes were wide open and even my body stiffened imagining me in this big house without my dad being around.

"Liked what you see Princess" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Vikky's words.

I smiled lightly and replied "Yes".

"Welcome to your new home," He said with a glow in his eyes. I wondered how he can be so energetic and fresh even though all the last 3 nights and days were horrible without adequate sleep.

I looked away from his eyes and replied "Thank you". My eyes were searching for my dad and I saw him walking towards one of the rooms with his brother-in-law. I didn't think of calling him as he looked very happy chatting with his relative.

Kavya came in front of me and took my hand into hers and told "Come dear. Mom asked me to show you your room. For today you will stay in my room as from tonight you will be staying with my brother." Her eyes were twinkling when she stressed that word tonight.

My body stiffened for a moment. From the time this whole thing started I never thought about this scenario. I have to stay in the same room with the person whom I have known hardly for a week. And spending a night with him in his room felt very awkward.

The little intimacy that occurred during my flight journey left me that embarrassed and they are expecting me to stay with him in one room that too in one week's time. I felt very weird and somewhat angry.

I was dragged back from my imagination to reality when Kavya waved her hand in front of my eyes. I slightly bobbed my head and followed her lead. She took me to her room which is too cute and too big compared to mine. I liked her room actually.

I went straight towards the bed and plumped down. Kavya came towards me and smiled saying " No time for sleep now sister. Go and get ready as there is one Pooja and today you have to cook something as part of a ritual."

I was slightly aggrieved as I need to sleep badly. I am deprived of sleep these days. I went to the washroom and before closing the door I asked her to call bhavs as I don't know what to wear now.

She smiled bouncing her head and left the room. I closed the door turned on the shower and closed my eyes and mind, enjoying that warm shower while the hot water continuously hitting my body made me forget all the things that happened in a little time period.

Once I felt satisfied, I turned off the shower and came out and saw the dress and jewelry that I am supposed to wear today with a note beside my clothes. It said " What will you do without me, dear! " And even though that note has fewer words I felt a pain in my heart as I read that note again.

All my life turned upside down without giving me a proper warning in advance. Usually, girls need some time to prepare for all these types of things. But in my case, I have to cope with sudden changes that tilted my life upside down.

I slowly wiped off the tears that started flowing down from my eyes and washed my face again and got ready wearing that dress and jewelry that bhavs kept for me. I applied a little makeup and set my hair after drying it and saw myself standing in front of a mirror.
