Story of an Orphan Girl. ✔️

24. Wedding.

Sandhya Pov

I adored my own reflection in the mirror. I never imagined myself getting married this soon but here I am all dolled up in bridal makeup and heavy costume waiting for my groom.

Only few hours more. I don't know why? I am feeling very nervous. My palms are sweating continuously. I guess that's how every new bride feels like.

I heard the noises of bursting crackers followed by the loud sound coming  out of the bands. He is here!

"Adhya your groom has finally arrived.", Pihu said excitedly.

My heart rate increased. Oh God! Calm down Adhya. I fisted my hands to control my nervousness which results in sweating my palms even more.

"Akash is looking sooooo handsome. I envy you Sandhya.", Riddhi said and pouted sadly.

I blushed on her comment and lowered my head shyly.

I am excited to see him almost after three weeks but poor Akash he won't be able to see my face before completing all the wedding rituals. Why? Because according to the rituals of Goenka family I will have to cover my face from my veil. Hehe!

Their traditions are quite old fashioned but not their thoughts. It's just they respect the decisions made by their ancestors and that's why they denied to change the customs and still following them.

"It's time to go Twinny. Everyone is calling you.", Sonia said excitedly while entering inside the room.

I covered my face from my veil and stood up to go but paused.

"Wait! I want to pee.", I said.

I don't know how much time all the rituals and everything will take to complete and if in between I get the natures call then I will really be doomed.

I want to enjoy all my wedding rituals peacefully. So, it's better to empty my bladder and won't let that type of situation to occur.

"Okay let's go I will help you.", Riddhi said.

"Huh!", I reacted confusedly.

How she will help me? It's not like I am going to make any college assignments.

"Aree! With this heavy bridal outfit it will be difficult for you to manage alone.", She said.

Ohh! That's what she meant but I don't want her help. I am not comfortable.

"Ummm Riddhi! You don't worry I can manage.", I said sheepishly.

"Sandhya, I am also a girl. Why are you feeling shy?", She said.

"Yes Twinny she is right. Take her help.", Sonia supported her.

Now I regret, why did I opened my mouth? How to make them understand that I am not comfortable in taking anybody's help and I can manage on my own. I am a big girl who is going to be someone's Mrs within few hours.

Still, I went inside the washroom with Riddhi but before entering the toilet I said,

"Riddhi trust me I can manage. If I need your help I will definitely call you. Promise.", I requested her pleadingly.

"Okay! Go, I am waiting for you.", She said and chuckled while moving her head sideways.

Thank God! I sighed in relief and rushed inside the toilet before she changes her mind.
