From the next chapter, it's not going to be as sweet as before. As soon her nightmare will start.

Third Person's Point Of View

Hugging her knees she sat on the cold floor of his room. Crying on how her fate played with her life. The life which she had begun with her husband and because of that husband she is crying on the third day of marriage.

How come things change so drastically? This evening, till their wedding Gondal function they both were happy, smiling, and dreaming of their perfect married life ahead and now everything has changed. Her left cheek could still feel the impact of his hands.

Those happy moments from her wedding started to play in front of her eyes. That time when they sat to have their lunch...

Before they could proceed with their lunch, Kanak stopped them and said to take ukhane before having their lunch and everyone supported her. How can there be no ukhane in a Maharashtrian wedding, right? But Nahush's cousins said their Vahini (sister-in-law) would be the one to take ukhane first. Mallika had already learned a few ukhanes as she was well aware that her family wouldn't leave here without taking ukhana.

So without wasting time, she started saying...

Night-blooming flower's fragrance, in that mild wind,
Of the name of Nahush, I wore green bangles.
(रातराणीचा सुगंध, त्यात मंद वारा,
नहुषरावांचे नांवाचा, भरला हिरवा चुडा.)

And with that, she fed him peda (sweets).

With everyone's claps and cheering, now it was time for Nahush to take ukhane. He was feeling nervous to take ukhane though he didn't show it. Well, boys do feel shy and nervous sometimes. His cousins started to shout saying 'Dada, what are you waiting for!', 'Go for it Dada', etc.

Suddenly his gaze fell on his right to see his beautiful wife looking at him curiously. Don't know what happened but he started saying ukhane while looking at her with full of emotions.

Some words come from the lips, some come from the throat,

But Mallika's name comes straight from my heart.
(काही शब्द येतात ओठातून, काही येतात गळ्यातून,
मल्लीकाचं नाव येतं मात्र माझ्या हृदयातून.)

Listening to this, Mallika lowered her head to hide her blushing face. Such romantic words from Nahush are not something that could be seen easily. Nahush too fed her the peda and everyone started hooting and teasing them.

Everyone started having their lunch whereas Nahush and Mallika were made to eat on the same plate together.

It was evening when it was time for her to go to her husband's home...to her own home.
