                  ............Next morning..........

Rashi's pov :

"Kabir Ji  , Kabir Ji  uthiye"

"Hmmmm" he hummed .

"Kabir Ji   uthjaiye"....

"Good morning" I wished him.

"Good morning" he said with a smile
"You seems ready "

"Yeah , should I go out myself or mummy ji will come to take me ?"
I asked him .

"How you go out at your parental place ? "
He countered back .

"That's different ,
I didn't even know everyone here . "

"Okay , I'll go and ask mummy "
"Let me go & check"
he said getting up from bed , meanwhile rubbing his eyes & went out .

Then mummy ji came ,
took me out & introduced to everyone .
I touched their feet & wished
Good morning . They blessed me in response .

Then few rituals took place like.............

           finding ring              ,      opening knot

First , we have to find a ring , from milk , initially I gain 3 rounds , everyone started whispering

First , we have to find a ring , from milk , initially I gain 3 rounds , everyone started whispering  ......
' she will dominate their relationship '  .

In the next 2 rounds , I myself handed over the ring to him secretly , as if he will loose all the 5 rounds , it will give people a topic to talk about . He smiled at my act , my eyes are looking down but I could sense it .

Then we had gone to temple , to offer prayers , came back & had breakfast , & again went to rest , as we didn't slept even for 3 hours .

I woke up around 3:00 p.m. by his voice . We had just breakfast so now for lunch , and later in the evening one more ritual
                               " Muh dikhai "

Ladies came one by one , lifted up my veil , saw my face , I touched their feet , they blessed me & gifted me . Most of them congratulated my MIL , appreciating my beauty . I felt more like a decorative piece rather than a human being . But I already knew how society works .

Then , had dinner at and went to sleep

Inside Bed Room :

It was another tiring day .
He is not in the room yet .

" What should I do ?
I soo wants to sleep , oh God !!!! .

My back is aching now .
When will he come ? "

I was busy with few more questions like that from like 30 minutes , when someone knocked on the door .

"He came " my mind said .

And I went to open the door .

"Beta , I just came to check ,
if you need something ? "
Mummy ji said (MIL)

"No mummy ji , I don't need anything now . " I answered , stepping aside allowing her to come inside  .

After it mom put a black mark ( kala tika ) behind my ear , saying ,

" Sb log itni bat kr rhe te ,
khi nazar na lga jae "

I don't want to hurt her feelings
saying NO to her . Though I myself is totally anti to all this and complete believer of .........
Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder .

"Okay , beta "
she said & was about to go then
"Kabir is not with you ?"
She enquired .

"Umm.....No , may be he is having some work .
So he is outside ."
I tried to cover up as her expression says her shocked state .

"This , boy . I'll send him , you have rest" .
She said lovingly to me .

I too smiled and bid goodnight to her .

After like 5 minutes he came ,

"I'm sorry , actually , we cousins met after a long time so ...."

"It's okay "
only this much came to my mind .

Next , we exchanged awkward smiles & then he went to change , meanwhile I went to balcony , stood there for a while .

Then was coming inside when Kabir appeared abruptly & was about to budge into me as we both were in swift motion , but he somehow held himself back , and held my elbow as I was about to fall back because of this little incident .

"S..Sorry ......." he said , looking into my eyes .

"It's okay " I replied looking towards him .
His face shows some concern or may be I'm just over thinking .

He is handsome , his eyes are beautiful with perfect shape as I prefer , neither too short nor big , medium sized .

We were looking at each other sharing a mini eye lock .

'I don't want to break the lock '
my heart said .

'But you can't stare him like this , you don't even know him . You are over thinking about his concern & all '

my brain scolded & I immediately looked down , then his hands holding me came into sight , also the closeness we are sharing , is more then what I prefer, we are just inches apart , I can feel his breath on my forehead increasing my nervousness , giving sweat buds .

May be he too get back to his senses , as he left my hand there and moved back to bed quite slowly .

I don't know what to do or to say , I was blank .
It's all very awkward.

"We should sleep , it's late already "
heard him .

I looked in his direction and found him looking at me already , I can't stand his gaze now .

So just nodded again looking down and went to bed ,  a mosquito remover machine is already switched on today .
' he might have .....'

Today , sleeping on the same bed besides him was more awkward then yesterday .

I somehow closed my eyes , and his eyes came in view and don't know why a smile made it's way to my lips .

' idiot you ' said my mind ,
Then , sleep came over me .
