Continued From The Past...

The palace was decorated with various colourful petals of flowers, Roses, Marigold and many. Mashals (flares) were being cleaned and placed newly for making it looked good around the palace. The women of our palace were grooming themselves with new clothes and giggling with happiness. Children were playing with each other, smiling and laughing. Father was with his fellows laughing in esthetisy.

I was in my room looking at my mirror, observing my face and hands carefully. Turmeric solution was all over my skin awaring my mind about the Haldi ceremony (A ritual of Hindu Marriage) which had held just few hours ago.

Mother had called me for other rituals as well. But I was in my room, closing the door, practicing how to fake smile in front of the world. My eyes had lost it's glory; replaced by the fear of losing my fake happiness in front of others.

For the first time in my life I found that smiling could be difficult..

Vikram, the person whom I loved; with whom I was going to marry; was in love in another woman. I couldn't keep his words for the first time since our friendship started.

And it is killing me inside more than my unrequited love...

After that day, he didn't show up here. It was scaring me more than anything.

Is he okay? Is he angry? Is he upset? I have no answer for those, unfortunately.

The fear of losing him was eating my sanity slowly. The only friend, my source of light in life, my first love, I didn't want to lose him.

Even if I have to shut my own feelings for him...

I looked at my eyes, the dark circles were lightly visible; only if Mother didn't pay attention to me since my childhood that much then she would definitely ask me about my condition.

For the first time in my life I am thankful to Mother for being ignorant of my presence.. what an irony!

I looked at my reflection for the last time before faking a smile and covered my face.

I need to go to Mother before she doubts!

It was evening of the next day after our wedding. I was at my Palki (palanquin) heading towards my in law's house, the palace of Kingdom of Dooars.

Vikram was in front of my Palki (palanquin) ridings on his royal Elephant along with his other royal guards and the King. Behide the palki (palanquin) there were more guards walking barefoot holding their airms for safety. A Dashee (female servant) was here in front of me sitting with me in the Palki (palanquin).

We were crossing the forest area as I could hear the sound of crickets making me aware of their presence and surroundings.

My Dashee said it would few more hours to reach the palace. We started our journey since morning and took few hours break in between.

Since yesterday, Vikram didn't talk a word to me, only smiled occasionally.

It is scaring me more..

At our wedding Mandap (the place where marriage's rituals take place) while sitting beside each other we didn't talk. I was watching behind my shade; he was acting very calm with everyone; during Shidoor Daan ( a ritual of Hindu marriage) I felt very helpless for both of us, specially for him.
