CHAPTER 6

The wedding day

Everyone was busy doing their works, decorators, caterers and all the other people were finishing their respective jobs and family members were instructing them, ensuing nothing goes wrong.The whole place was in chaos.

Ruhi was in her room and everyone including, Rhea, Raavi, Sagar, Neel were sitting surrounding her. She was crying since morning and everyone were consoling her and trying to make her calm.

" Please calm down Ruhi, you know we can't see you crying " Neel said caressing her hairs.

" yeah Ruhi, stop it now, you are only getting married , we're not sending you to jail or something that you are shedding your tears like a running tap" Rhea said wipping her tears.

" Mai ni karna chahti shaddi, please rok lo na bhai" Ruhi sobbed.

"Don't you think its very late now , Agar shaddi nhi karni thi to haan q bola" Reah said taunting her.

" Shut up you all. Look at me Ruhi, I got pimples today then also I'm not crying" Raavi said making weird face.

Everyone looked at her with disbelief and started laughing out loud." For god sake Raavi dii, Stop your BJs(bad jokes) now" Sagar said laughing.

" Kya hua tum logo ko , itni hasi, hame bhi btao, hum bhi thora has lenge" Aahan's mom, Aarti ji said entering their room.

Everyone looked at her direction and stopped laughing . " Aunty ji, please come na " Neel said standing from his place .

She went near them, after looking at Ruhi's face her smile vanished" what happened Ruhi, why were you crying , Koi pareshani hai to mujhe btao?" she said worridly. Ruhi kept her her head down without uttering a single word.

" She is nervous Aunty ji, that's why she's freaking out" Raavi said.

Aarti ji looked at Ruhi with her adoring gaze and said " If that's the reason then you should not be worried, Im always here for you. No one's gonna trouble you until I'm alive "

"No one's gonna trouble you until I'm alive " all of a sudden Aahan's words surrounded her memory. she sounds just like him.

" You listening to me Ruhi" Aarti ji's voice interrupted her thoughts and she nodded in response.

" Now you both go and get ready, your dresses and stylists are here. " Aarti ji said.

" Wow , dresses. I'm so excited to see our dresses " Raavi said with excitement and started jumping.

All of them looked at her with smiling faces.

" And one more thing, I forgot to tell you before,remember now , don't see your groom's face before wedding night. It's a custom in our family that the bride remains in Ghoonghat during whole wedding and her husband raise their Ghoonghat on wedding night." Aarti ji said looking at Ruhi and Raavi.

" Yes , aunty ji, we understand " both of them said collectively.

" ok then, I'm sending the stylists to you " Aarti ji said and left the room.

In evening, Ruhi was sitting in front of mirror, getting ready for her wedding.

On of the stylists was doing her makeup and other was busy with her hairs. After an hour Ruhi was ready, she wore red Sabyasachi lehenga which has golden embroidery which was styled with dark orange dupatta in her head which will be her Ghoonghat . With golden glittery makeup , she was looking very elegant .



Everything was perfect , except her smile. She was scared of Aahan's intentions.

" You look beautiful " she heard a voice and looked at the door, it was Deepa ji. She walked to her and looked at Ruhi, taking kajal from her eyes she put it behind Ruhi's left ear" Nazar na lage meri bacchi ko ". Ruhi was looking at her with astonishment.

Understanding her situation , Deepa ji said " I know you are thinking that I hate you and now I'm here putting Nazar ka teeka . "

Ruhi " Chachi ma, I-."

" I don't hate you Ruhi, I never did. You know a mother always wants their children to be better for others. I always wanted Sakshi to be better than you, always compared you both, your beauty and complexion is beyond praising and your sister .... You know right. All of this always bothered me. I'm really sorry for all I did to you."

Ruhi hugged her immediately and tears came out of her eyes. She didn't say anything and remained like that for sometime.

" Maa beti ka milan ho gya to hum bhi aa jaaye" she heard her chacha ji . She looked at the door , her chacha ji and cousins were coming towards her.

She hugged everyone and took blessings from her chacha chachi.

" stop crying now, or else your makeup will be spoiled and you will start looking like ghosts" Sagar said laughing.

" Neel bhai, look at him, what hes saying " Ruhi said making faces.

Neel kept his hands on Ruhi's shoulder said looked at sagar " Don't tease her Sagar. She's always pretty."

" If your family reunion is complete then let us meet our bestie, we have to go down in 20 minutes " Ruhi said coming inside with Raavi.

Raavi and Ruhi were wearing similar wedding attire and both of them were looking very beautiful today. They hugged each and took some pictures together. Now it was time to go to the Mandap

In Aahan's room.

Aahan and Anurag were getting ready .

" Mom, can I wear suit " Anurag looked at his sherwani with weird face.

" Shut up idiot, and wear it, otherwise -" Aahan said glaring at him.

" ok ok. Pehen rha hu yaar, gussa kyun kar rha hai. Tere liye shaadi kar rha hun, ye sherwani pehenna ko. Si badi baat hai" Anurag said.

" I don't understand you both and I don't think I ever will. Aahan, you can directly marry her , then why this " Aarti ji said looking at Aahan.

Aahan was about to reply when Anurag said " because he's The Aahan Rajput or Aahan Rajput koi bhi kaam seedha nhi kar sakta."

" Another word and you'll never be able to speak again " Aahan said glaring Anurag .

Anurag shifted his eyes to mirror without any reply. And Aarti ji chuckled looking at both .

After sometimes both of them were ready. They were also wearing similar sherwani .



It was time so they went down together as the wedding rituals were about to begin soon.
