Wrong Decisions to Right Paths

Chapter 18

A/N I don't know much about the weddings in India. As I was married here in USA. So I will give you the description of the marriage I had been to. As I said earlier it's a true story with variations.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The wedding day was here. I won't say at last it's here but I would say am I ready, it seems it came really fast.

My dress was beautiful maroon color. The material was velvet and I really liked it.

The dress was not the unique ones but I liked the dress, it had a traditional look in it. The wedding was supposed to be at two pm. Then a small reception the same day.

I was not comfortable with the same day arrangements but Arjun did not wanted to have it in two different dates. I don't know why. But maybe I can ask him after marriage.

" Radhika you know right your marriage is at two pm. And here you are day dreaming about the same person you are going to get married to." My sister Riddhima told me teasingly.

The beauticians were here. Riddhima was with me the whole time teasing me. I could tell the nervousness was creeping inside of me. My hands were sweaty.

My mom came and hugged me and again.

" Don't ever compare your marriage life with mine or Riddhima's. You will have your own unique life. Even if problems arise, you have to face them." My mom once again gave me verbal list of important things to remember after marriage.

But somewhere deep inside I cannot really believe in marriage. I know I started liking Arjun but I don't know how he will be after marriage. As the saying goes a man is different before marriage and opposite after marriage.

As I have told myself so many times I am prepared for the worst. I will not let anyone break my heart nor end my self-esteem.

After we all were ready we headed towards the banquet hall. Outside my father was waiting for me.

" All the best for your marriage life. May God always be with you. You are looking absolutely beautiful." My dad told me.

"Arjun is not like me. I can see that. Please have some faith in him. I know you don't believe in marriages and I am really sorry about that because I know it's because of me. Well don't think about it. Just be happy." My dad asked me and hugged me.

We headed inside. I was awestruck. The whole set up was designed very traditionally. Which was complimenting with my dress.

I can see Arjun sitting in the mandap. When everyone saw that I have arrived. All attention was on me. My mom and dad took me towards the mandap. Then Arjun helped me to sit beside him for the rituals. Arjun's clothes were also complimenting with my dress and the set-up.

The marriage was accomplished with the seven vows, the vermilion and mangalsutra.

Then we took the blessings of the elders. Now I am a married person. The lunch was served on the tables. The guests got busy with the lunch.

" You go and take some rest before the reception. I have booked a suite for us. If you want to" Arjun asked me.

" No I am ok. We can leave after sometime." I told him but I really wanted some rest but also I was nervous of going with him.

He obliged. Soon the guests started to leave as they were suppose to come again at seven in the evening for the reception. Still I don't know what was Arjun thinking when he decided same day for wedding as well as reception.

Then my mom and Nandini Aunty asked me to go and take rest. Then once again I have to get ready for the reception. I left with Arjun towards the suite which Arjun has booked for us. It was in the same building.

As soon as I reached the room I was pushed towards the wall and Arjun claimed my lips.

I was not prepared at all. The kiss was not violent but passionate. It was my first time and I didn't knew how to kiss.

I let him kiss me then I tried to copy him by alternately kissing and sucking his upper and lower lip. It was a wonderful feeling. My hands automatically went towards his head. I was lost in his lips.
