Diya's POV
" Time for Sumangalika." The priest said and I smiled widely. I was going to be his wife officially we were going to be the spouse. We will be together in every steps of life. I was excited. All my worries faded away. I was only listening to my heart. It was dancing with happiness. I wanted to dance as well. Yeah, I know I am crazy. But who cares!! I am going to be married with my love. I was so happy. God!!! I was waiting for him to mark me as his by putting the Vermillion on my hairline. I closed my eyes but suddenly I heard someone speaking up. I opened my eyes listening someone saying.
" I thought I should be invited." I looked up to see who dared to disturb my wedding.
I saw the person who was glaring at me. I was stunned found the gun in his had. I knew who is he. I found buaa g smirking. The psychopath lady. I searched for Shreya. Where is she!!! I was looking for her when Noel stood in front of me hiding me completely behind him.
Where are you, Shreya?! Show up and shot this killer. I was searching for her who was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly I found her and she nodded. She pointed her gun at the killer and shoot at the same time the killer shot as well but the next moment I saw bullet hit his wrist and gun fall from his hand. He missed the bullet. I saw Shreya she ran and took the gun away from him. I was shocked what happened in a second.
" Jiju!!" I heard Chhoti. She ran to Noel who was clutching his arm. Terror ran through my body. He didn't miss. He shot Noel.
" Noel!!!" I screamed and hold him tightly.
" I am fine, Babe. It just injured a little. The bullet must have hit the wall there." He pointed behind him but his arm was bleeding. I tried to stop that clutching on his arm.
" Another bullet almost got me." Flynn said coming in front of us.
" Which bullet?" I asked.
" That your cousin shot." Flynn said. " Your target is terrible." Flynn said to Shreya.
" I am sorry. I got slipped with this bloody heels." She stomped her feet. I shook my head and looked at the wound on Noel's arm.
" Rick, seize them." I heard Chris.
" It's ok. But the wedding? Is it completed now?" Flynn asked looking at the guest who were frightened.
" Everything is ok. Don't be scared. Please be calm and relax." I heard Leo saying at the guest. It worked. People wasn't frightened anymore but they were curious. They were asking many questions.
" Wedding isn't completed?" Flynn asked looking back at us.
" Sumangalika left." Divya said.
" But Vermillion?" Chhoti asked looking at the 'havan kund' where the holy fire was made for wedding rituals. The vermillion box was in it. Totally spoiled.
" Can we talk about it later?!! Someone please help Noel. He is bleeding horribly." I cried. I found our family already there.
" Sssshhhhhh, Babe. Don't cry. I am perfectly fine." He was trying to convince me but I can't get convinced with that.
" Rudra, go call the doctor." I said.
" There is doctor stop worrying." Noel said pointing at Natasha. I was still crying everyone was trying to convince me but I wasn't still convinced.
" Let's go. Get you treated first." I said to Noel.
" Let's finish our wedding first then get treated." Noel said stubbornly.
" We are not performing Sumangalika until you get treated." I said more stubbornly.
" I am not going to take any of the treatment until we finish every ritual." He said in his as usual stubborn voice. I sighed. I sighed.
" Vermillion is wasted. Someone will go and bring a new one while you are getting treated. Then we can do it." I said.
" No means no." He said.
" Kritika, Shreya, go get the box of Vermillion from the store room." My mom said. No one can win over you in stubbornness.
" It's a bad omen." Someone from the guest said.
" What is a bad omen?" Stella asked.
" This. The vermillion got spoiled." She said.
" What are you saying? There's nothing like that." Stella laughed.
" There is. You might not believe it but we do." The lady said.
" True it's a bad omen." Another person said and there was a big mess around. I looked around helplessly. But what Noel did the next moment made me and whole crowd shocked.
He just pressed his thumb on the wound of his and filled my hairline with his blood. My eyes were widen. I can feel the others as well. My jaw must be hitting the ground. He chuckled clutching his arm.
" Blood is thicker than Vermillion and my love is deeper than that bad omen." He said and I gulped. " Even if it's a bad omen we will deal with that you no need to be worried about it. I don't want to hear a single word against my wife or her family." Noel said and everyone was quiet.
" Take them out of my house." Baba said pointing the killer who is supposed to be my biological father and buaa g. " If you were not a woman I would have surely beaten you up black and blue, Raveena. I won't beat you up cause beating woman is the nature of a coward." Baba to buaa g. Shreya just gave a venomous glare at buaa g. She helped me a lot today. She deserves a big big thanks.
" Wait a minute." Maa said and stopped Rick dragging buaa g. "This is for what you did. You can't do it, Ravi. But I can. I have no problem." She slapped buaa g hard across her face. Not once or twice. She slapped her 5 times. I was shocked witnessing that form of my sweet mom. I pouted. It was true when it was said a mother can be a strom if it's to protect her child.
" Let's go. Get treated." I said to him holding his arm.
" Sure, wifey." He said and I smiled a bit. We went to my room. Natasha handled the wound. She cleaned the wound and did the dressing. Then gave Noel an injection of painkiller. My MIL sat beside him and I could feel our feelings were mutual. We both were scared. Still she tried to encourage me. Then she left saying we both need to take rest.
I was sitting next to him. He slowly kept his head on my lap closing his eyes. I ran my fingers in his hair.
" By the way, Babe. Which word do you love the most? Babe or wifey?" He asked me. He is still in a cheery mood.
" I love you the most." I said and leaned on him and kissed his forehead. " It scared me to the death." I said and he hold the back of my neck and captured my lips. I kissed him back. He fall asleep then as the medicine started to work but I was wide awake. I kept looking at him. He was sleeping peacefully and I was staring at him. He was wonderful person. He didn't move back even was almost killed today while trying to save me. I smiled pressing my lips on his forehead. He was the source of my happiness.
