Chapter 73

Gautam's POV



I was so excited that at least one of the functions was celebrated where both families would be present... I was dying to be with my tomato. We all went for sangeet and Mehandi... I was excited to see her in front of me, where I would be able to share a moment with her.

But all my dreams were crushed when Maurvi's dad took me aside and made me sit with his relatives.

All my friends were there with their wives enjoying holding their hands, finding their names in their hands and feeding them with their own hands as the girls had Mehandi on hands.

They all were clicking pictures together. All my idiot friends went to Maurvi and clicked pictures with her. Vikram even hugged her and clicked the photos. He sent them to me. I swear I would kill him.

I wanted to have her in my arms and get lost to somewhere, where no one would irritate us. Everyone was teasing me and I was getting irritated. I looked at her she had already transformed into a tomato by their endless teasing. But she was looking so pretty in her simple and elegant dress.

Sangeet started and everyone started performing on the Bollywood tunes. But I could not take my eyes off her. Prachi and Noopur performed a dance numbers with Amit and Kshitij as their partners... I hope Maurvi's dad doesn't get angry with them... But thank God, he was busy...

Then my friends performed a dance skit on our love story... It was funny, romantic, naughty... Very hilarious..... We all laughed and my tomato could not even look upwards. She would have hidden behind something if she could but that was not possible.

Just one more day sweetheart and then I will hide you in my arms and will not let you go.

The sangeet was awesome... The dinner was served.. and I finally got a chance to go near her as the parents and relatives got busy having dinner. Just the youngsters were still here. They would not mind if I go and be there with my Maurvi...

I rushed towards her she saw me and smiled beautifully and shyly. I swear she looked like a platter full of my favourite food item. No actually looked like my Huldiram showroom.

My friends were busy with their wives... maybe they had mercy on me and were giving us some private time. I went to her and kept looking at her. She was looking awesome. I was mesmerized my hands and feet were adorned with beautiful designs of Heena.

" Hi.." I said

" Hi... " She said shyly.

" Did you get my name written on your hands? "

" Yes... Of course. "

" You know something, you are looking very pretty today it's so good to see you after such a long time... "

" C'mon, you saw me every day on phone.... "

" It is not the same thing sweetheart. See we are here and I can touch you if I want..."

" Don't you dare.... my father will come and kill both of us. "

" Don't dare me beautiful... I am not doing anything like that because I respect your father... He would not like it. Just one more day sweetheart, than your father would not be able to do anything. " I said and she blushed deeply.

" Will you have something? Are you hungry? "

" Hell yes... I am very very hungry... " I said looking at her.

" OK... what will you have? I'll call somebody to get something for you. "

" Let it be ... I just want you ... I mean, want to spend some time with you. "

Just then that idiot Sid came our way and hugged Maurvi lightly. She smiled at him.

Why can't he leave us alone?

" Arre no.... just tell me, what do you want to eat...." she asked so sweetly.

Only if she knew that she must not ask questions like that... I could eat the whole Huldiram showroom... I mean my personal showroom.....

" Anything.... sweet ...juicy.... "

" Sweet and juicy...Ummm ... some juice? "

" No "

" Fruits? "

" No ..."

" Gulab jamun? "

" No.."

" Jalebi? "

" No.."

" Then you tell me I can't think of anything."

" Oh my god !!! Maurvi you are so cute and dumb. He is asking for a kiss from you. " Sid said...

Love you brother.....

" What nonsense!!!! he is not... He is not like you... " She said and looked at me to confirm what she said.

I really wanted a kiss her so I didn't say anything

" Ask Bhai... He would not say no this time... " Sid said with a smirk.

She looked at me and again red colour started to claim her cheeks.

Just then one of her uncles came and escorted me to somewhere else. Tomato was blushing and that idiot Sid was laughing.

They served dinner to me and all her relatives made me eat something out of their hand...

Please, someone, stop them...

Sid smiled and said, " Eat Bhai, you were just saying that you were very hungry... " I glared at him but he was smirking.

I will kill him someday... I will take my revenge.

After hearing what Sid said, all her friends and cousins served more food to me and insisted on eating. I was going to burst anytime soon. My friends were laughing like lunatics. I kept saying no but someone or the other would put a spoonful in my mouth.

Ultimately I covered my mouth with my hand and shook my head and then acted as if I was about to get sick. Then only they left me alone.

We all came back home and I had to take Digene to avoid any acidity.

Maurvi's POV



It was our wedding day. There was another ceremony, which is known as thaapa and Haldi ceremony at both homes. After this, the next ceremony is Goddess Gauri puja ( where the girl is treated as Goddess Gauri). So I received many gifts and jewellery from my maternal uncle.

After that Huldi Ceremony was performed (In this ceremony a paste of turmeric is applied on the bride and the groom’s face, hands, shoulders, feet and forehead). It was conducted in both the families on the wedding day. The married females of my family and my friends applied huldi on my face, hands, shoulders and feet. After this ceremony, all the other ceremonies of the wedding day began.

I got ready for the wedding with the help of the makeup artist and then I changed into my wedding lehenga and then all the jewellery and accessories. I had not looked into the mirror till now and once everything was done they turned me to have a look in the mirror.

I really liked what I saw... I was looking very different but very pretty.

My parents came to see me and got very emotional. My mom could not contain her tears and her eyes were watery now a few years even escaped her eyes.

She hugged me tightly. Dad said, " Oh my god... I knew my daughter was a princess but you look even better than that. " He also hugged me and asked if I was happy and I just nodded and smiled shyly. He placed a kiss on my forehead.

We all went to the venue and I was sent to one room which was reserved for the bride.

After some time, noopur came and told me that Baraat had arrived. I wanted to look at him. So I saw the Baraat from the window as that room was on the first floor.

He looked like a handsome king in the traditional outfit which was a Sherwani dress. I was feeling very good from inside as I was getting married to the love of my life. I got away from the window and sat on the bed as my heart started beating very fast.
