I look at my surroundings to notice myself sitting on a grey color sofa in a living room surrounded by my family members. I notice their lip moments and I know that they are talking about. Its not like I am deaf. Its just that I have so much in my m...
After almost a month of preparation I was ready to tie the knot with my life. Yes I have also prepared for all the four weddings with Nandini. it was blissfull. We went for shopping , we went to book wedding venue, we went to bring all the ingredients required for rituals to be performed during wedding. I didn't miss the glow that was on my nandini's face. she was so pure. She would find happiness even in the simplest thing. I asked the reason.
"Its because you are by my side" I was again bowled over. I wonder what is the depth of her love
Next day, I entered the wedding venue and was welcomed by Nandini's chachi with some rituals. I heartily took part in it as it was want nandini wanted. Though I never believed in all these rituals but if Nandini believes in all these I would willingly take part in all these charade.
As soon as I entered in the venue I took in the surroundings. The entrance was decorated with various flowers making design umm. What that called?? Yes RANGOLI. Yes, and I am sure Nandini must have done this. I told her not to toil herself, I had hired wedding planners and workers for a reason but the stubborn head that she is would never listen to me. Sigh!
At the center there was a mandap standing erect with pink and white roses wrapped around. Through the roof of the mandap pink tulips were dangling just the way nandini wanted. Surrounding the mandap there were sitting arrangements were guest would be sitting to watch us getting married.
I was already sitting in mandap waiting for my bride, my nandini to come. I still remember meeting her for the first time in college. We have came through a long journey overcoming a lot hurdles on our way. Those hurdles didn't shatter us in fact it made us all the more strong about our relation. Finally my wait was over and there she stood at the stairs our eyes met and our lips twitched in a smile. Slowly she descended from stairs holding her lehengha in her hands.
We went for shopping and we mutually agreed to not show each other our wedding attires. So looking at her right now all I could do was just stare at her. I can also feel her doing the same. It looks like we both are in a trance. Red is definitely her color I must say. The lehengha hued in my favorite color and to compliment her looks she had the ornaments that has emerald stones to contrast the red color of the lehengha. Hands and feets covered with the designs of heena having the darkest shade of brown.. almost black. The sound of the bangles in her hand just added demureness to my already demure lady. Not to mention the veil and her mangtika were the icing on the cake. Gosh! I m in so much trouble.
I don't think I need to tell you have devilishly handsome I look. Come on last week I topped the list of top 10 handsome men in our business world. I was in my cream and red shervani with red turban on my head. I did look myself in the mirror in the morning and I think I looked good though after looking at nandini I doubt it.

Finally she reached mandap and I forwarded my hand to her and she, with a shy smile accepted and we both sat in front of the sacred fire. Soon punditji started chanting mantra. God knows what he was saying as my whole concentration was on my lady love sitting beside me also soon to be mine for a forever, who would concentrate on that pundit's mantra when you even don't know the meaning of them.Sigh!
Soon we were told to stand for pheras. We took our vows for our togetherness and then I was asked to tie nuptial chain and also to fill her hairline with vermillion. Umm.. ok I should admit that it enhanced her even more and I liked it.
Now the main crucial moment of 'bidayi'. Oh how can I forget that moment.
Everyone was leaving the marriage hall. Nandini's parents got misty eyed but nandini had happy tears in her eyes and was smiling to her fullest.
Oh you are asking Why..?? You don't know my crazy wife
Well, all the ladies and relatives were confused as to why she is not crying. After being not able to handle the curiosity one of the aunty asked her to which I rolled my eyes as I knew the answer.
And cabir said "because she is not going with manik as in she is not leaving her maternal house today".
I made a bad face. Aunty was shocked and asked the reason. Cabir explained the reason that is as we were still to be married in 3 more ways nandini has decided that she will come to my home after all the 4 weddings. God!! Can u believe her. She would be the first bride going back to her home for another wedding and that too with her husband again. I tried all possible ways to convince her, though after being with her all this time I knew she won't agree with me and indeed she didn't. I was really annoyed with her this wish now, as I being her husband can't have her in my arms. Huh! Forget that she didn't let me kiss her when I sneaked her out making an excuse. She said everything after marriage and that too 4..!!!
I freaking hate this 4 number now!
"Manik please don't make faces otherwise it would look like you are the one leaving your parents house" Ofcourse cabir had to come up with his cheesy one liners. I glared at him and one last time, with all my minute hope I looked at her in a pleading way to make her see how desperately I want to be with her but no she was in no mood to come.
Finally after sparing a last glare to her I left from there to sleep in my room. Alone! Sigh!
