Ishq Diyan Khairan Mangiyaan!!!

Part 16

Sun rays hit her eyes making her frown and finally open her eyes. She looked around and found herself in Omkara's room, her husband or now in her own room. She is now a wife of someone, a daughter in law of this house, and soon to be mother of the child who is not of her husband. The thought frightened her, how will she face everyone, most importantly Omkara. How can she face him when he is aware of the truth. She knows that he supports her in her decision, but still no one can understand his inner state. Obviously, it's extremely hard for any man to accept someone else's child growing in their wife, especially when it is the result of the most horrible incident of her life which will break them every time they will look at the child, and this is for lifetime. Thinking about Om and this family, is she making the right decision? Will she be able to do justice to them? Shankarji, please meri madad kijiye, mujhe sahi faisla lene main meri madat kijiye. Kuch aisa kijiye ke meri wajah se iss parivaar ko koi pareshani na ho, inhen koi takleef na ho. Please Shankarji. She prayed in heart. Her thoughts were disturbed by the movement of Aaniya in her sleep. This is when she realized she was sleeping on bed with her and Om sleeping on the couch. Caressing her hair, so that she goes back to sleep, her attention goes towards Omkara who was sleeping uncomfortably on the couch with a frown, maybe because of the small size of the couch compared to him. She stared at his face which only showed her innocence and truth. She smiled thinking about yesterday, when he took care of her, how he handled Aaniya when she was sad, how he comforted her after know the truth and married her. He is now her husband and she will do anything to complete her duties as a wife, she promised herself. Soon her smile turned into sadness, thinking about what she had done to his life, he deserved way more, much better than her and he knows that. But, then why is he still ready to help her, save her and ruin his life. Her eyes caught the watch which showed 7. She hurriedly got up to get ready. It is her official first day after her marriage. She can't be late for breakfast, in fact she should go help Anika di and make some sweets for everyone as it is the after marriage rasam as Jhanvi aunty told her yesterday. After taking a quick shower and getting ready in a beautiful salwar kameez, she came out of the washroom with her hair on her one shoulder, saw the duo still sleeping. She went towards the dressing table to freshen up herself a bit, when her eyes went to the mangalsutra which is going to stay there now forever, considering her to be her husband's forever. She caressed it looked at the sleeping Om through the mirror. She can never thank shankarji enough for getting her married to him. Little did she know what storm is about to shatter her. Wearing her necessarily jewelry her eyes went to a small sindoor pot on the table, she wondered who kept it there, maybe Anika di had. She looked at her empty forehead and then at the pot. She held in her hands and took the pinch out to put it on her forehead. Just when she took it out Om opened his eyes to witness the beautiful scene in front of him. His wife putting the symbol of their marriage on her forehead, showing everyone that she is now his only. Her back was visible due to her backless kameez. He lost himself in his wife who is looking extra beautiful with a single mangalsutra adoring her neck and light pinch of red mark on her forehead. Soon, her eyes met with his through the mirror. They both wanted to talk, he wanted to tell her she is looking beautiful, while she wanted to thank him for everything he did for her. Soon the eye lock broke due to a voice and they looked towards the owner.

A rubbing her eyes: Di

She move towards her and sits beside her to wake her up. Om also stood up and went towards the wardrobe to take the towel.

G: Aaniya, uth jaiye. Aap ne school nahi jana kya.

A: Nahi.

G: Arre kyun nahi?

A: Di aap bhool rahi ho k kal aap ki shaadi hui hai.

Hearing her, Om stopped what he was doing but did not turn back to see them, but soon resumed his work. Gauri also got nervous for few seconds and looked at Om from the corner of her eyes but did not dare to turn back to face him.
