Nidhi waited for Ajay in his room, wearing her bridal attire. It was their first wedding night. Her red lehnga sprawled across on his bed. She was unsure if she should hide her face under ghoonghat, as she had watched in hindi movies. She looked around the room, feeling nervous yet happy in the anticipation of her future life with Ajay. It was their room, their bed now. They were going to share everything together for the rest of their lives. She smiled at the thought.
Suddenly she heard his footsteps. Her heart started beating fast. The door opened and then Ajay entered the room, looking handsome in the golden sherwani. Their eyes met and locked for few minutes. It was Ajay who broke the eye lock and turned to close the door. He then slowly moved towards the bed, keeping his eyes fixed at Nidhi. He could still not believe that their love had won and they were married. That Nidhi was his now.
Nidhi shyly looked down. She could feel the heat in his eyes reaching her. She moved a little away on the bed, making space for him to sit beside her.
"Nidhi?" Ajay broke the silence as he sat close to her. Nidhi looked at him and answered "Yes?"
"Are you feeling comfortable, are you ok? I know everything is new for you here."
"Yes I am fine. Baba, Armaanji, his mother, everyone made me feel quite at home."
"Oh good. But what about me, am I making you uncomfortable?"
Nidhi did not answer him. How could she tell him that it is not him but the very situation, their marriage, the first wedding night and things to follow was putting her on edge. Suddenly she felt Ajay hold her hand. Her heart skipped a beat. She had hugged him before, touched him too but this was different. His touch sent a shiver down her spine and she pulled back a little. Ajay understood her nervousness and set her hand free. He did not want to push her. He wanted her to feel at home, get adjusted to the new life. The physical aspect of their relationship could wait a bit longer. Though he could not deny himself how much he waited for this day, this night, to hold her in his arms and to kiss her.
Nidhi realized that her gesture of pulling back had sent a wrong signal to Ajay. He may have thought that she was not ready for this. She looked at Ajay who seemed a bit confused and lost about what had just happened.
She then boldly took his hand in her hand and apologized "I am sorry. It is not you. It is just my wedding jitters." Ajay smiled hearing this and moved closer to Nidhi, pulling her gently in his arms.
"Nidhi'..oh Nidhi. It is ok. I would not do anything that makes you uneasy. I promise"
"I know. I trust you completely. I am all yours".
Her words were enough to assure Ajay that Nidhi was ready to take their relationship to next level. He then put his hand under her chin and made her look at him. He saw pure love and absolute trust for him in her eyes. He moved his lips closer to her. Nidhi closed her eyes, looking forward to her first kiss.
