14 Henna &Pithi Ceremony
Aisha's pov
After Oberoi family leaves Radhika and Nandini came to my room to say goodbye to me but mummy stops them and said.
"You both stay here today. It's been a long night too."
When Radhika was trying hard to deny but Nandini said Okay Okay Aunty we'll stay here tonight. Don't worry.
Yes. please stay tonight. I insist to convince them.
"Ok Ok . We'll stay here tonight"Radhika said.
Finally they both agreed to stay here.
I'm just coming. Ok. I said and straightly went washroom to change.
One hour later
We were laying on the bed while Radhika was teasing me
"By the way Aisha. Are you not afraid?" she ask me
"Afraid. for what? " I ask confusingly
Don't be strange ok. You know very well for what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your wedding night. she said frustratedly so I gulp down my saliva but said nothing.
"Why? Why I'll be afraid? " I ask.
"Well I have heard that it hurts a lot. Isn't it?" Radhika said confidently so I ask her
"Really. You are telling me that like you and Karthik will not celebrate your wedding night. right."I ask with smirk.
Oh Idiot. Karthik and I have already done it. Don't you worry about us. you only worry about yourself. Ok. she said.
" Let's sleep. It's too night. Nandini already fell in sleep. " I said.
Varun's POV
I was having my coffee while standing on the balcony and about Àisha.
Aisha Chandna. Get ready now. you have no idea Which type of Surprise I have planned for you.
You will always remember my surprise. I thought in my mind when i looked at my engagement ring.
Poor Ashlesha Aunty.How many dreams would she have decorated for Aisha's wedding?All dreams will be shattered. But what should i do now. Aisha should be punished for her sins, shouldn't she?
Next morning
"Aisha. wake up. Today is your Mehndi ( Henna). Get up early. Mommy said"
When I woked up and check out my phone I found "Good Morning message" sent by Varun
"Good Morning." I replied him back with too many heart emojis.
When I went down I saw Radhika and Nandini both were sitting on the dinning table having their breakfast. So I ask angrily "Mummy this is not fair. Why didn't you guys wait for me." I pout
"Hmmm. come fast now and have it fast." Mommy said
We were having our breakfast when door bell rang. I got up to open the door where I found "Mehendi Artists." They greeted me
"Hello mam.Varun sir send us with your mehandi." they said.
"okay. Come in." I permit them to come in.
"Who is so Aisha." Mommy ask.
"Mehendi Artists." I said.
"Mehendi Artists. But I didn't call them. " Mommy said.
"They have been sent by Varun." I said.
"Oh. Ok. Mommy said."
***************************************
#Mehendi Function
They were applying mehendi on my hands and feet while Nandini was feeding me my breakfast.
Aisha Have you not chosen mehandi design? Radhika ask while checking mehendi designs on mehendi book.
"No. I mean. Varun has chosen the design already for me. " I replied.
"Oooo. So much love. "
"I didn't even imagine that Varun would ever shower you so much love." Radhika teased me.
"okay okay. You peoples do it fast.After this you have to apply our mehndi also." Nandini said.
When again Radhika teased me. By the way Aisha.Where have you written Varun's name on your hand?
"Why? Why do you want to know?why should I tell you? I'm not going to tell you. You got it." I said
"okay. Don't tell then." she said.
After 3 hours
"so, Finally we all are done with mehendi ceremony. when I said , Mummy I want to go to my room for change."
"Let's go. " Mommy said and then we went to my room when Radhika was talking with Kartik on video call.
"Hey Aisha, see whom I'm talking with. " Radhika said
"Varun" I guess
"Yes. you are right. come and show him your henna" , again she started to tease me.
"Varun look at Ayesha's henna. How beautiful do she look? didn't she. " she ask.
"Hmmm. " he only make sounds but said nothing.
"Radhika I want to go washroom. please help me a little." I said because I was showing him my attitude.
"Okay then. see you guys soon, Byeee" Radhika said
10 minutes later when I step out Radhika said while helping me to take a rest.
***************************************
Next morning
My pithi ( haldi )ceremony was going on. Mommy and her friends were applying turmeric on my face , hands and feets.
When I saw a single tear on mummy's eyes. I also starts crying when priest said.
Call kanyaa's (girl's) brother for some rituals when mommy said
Pandit Ji. (Priest) she has no brother.
Flashback started
"Akhil it's your sister's wedding please come. she will be happy to see you." I ask him to attend his sister's wedding but he straightly deny to come and said angrily
"when I'm saying no then no means no. she is not my sister and you are not my mother. Do you get that. she is just like you, a "slut". he said and pain starts in my heart.
Akhil!!!!! how dare you to call your own sister and mother a "slut", I ask when he answer me back
"Because you both are." He said So I hung up because I know that he will not come".)
Flashback ended
***************************************
When suddenly we heard a voice. "I'll do all the rituals for her."
"Akash. " I said.
Yes aunty I Will do all the rituals for her. When he use this line for me , mummy got so happy even I also, then we did the rituals.
After all the rituals were done,I said thanks to Akash and he smiled on me.
Finally, ceremony done with all the rituals. Radhika and Nandini bring me to my room to getting ready for my wedding.
Makeup artist was also present there.
