Stars After The Storm

Ab var vadhu ki mang mein sindur bhare

The pandit ji said. Dhruv took a pinch of sindoor in between his fingers and filled her partition. Meenakshi closed her eyes with a soft smile on her face as a tear rolled up on her cheek.

Ab var vadhu ko mangalsutra pahnaye.

Dhruv took the mangalsutra. His hands trembled as he remembered the same moment with Tara. The memory leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. He looked at Meenakshi and smiled. She blinked her eyes as he tied the mangalsutra around her neck.

Main vachan deta hoon Meenakshi ji. Aaj se mere jeevan mein sirf aap hongi aur koi nahin.

Dhruv thought.
