Chapter 36
Stuti's pov
Ever felt like you will just faint any moment in anxiety and tension?
It's happening to me. Today is my wedding. The biggest day of my life is here
The day that I have waited from long is here now.
Yes I have waited for this day because now I have a big reason to get married.
And the reason is that I like my husband very much. Maybe I have fallen for him as well. I don't know about it yet. I'm confused with my own feelings. But I guess with time it will be clear.
He is a really sweet yet perverted kind of person.
His talks always leave me blushing as hell.
Unknown to me he has captured my heart very slowly.
Yesterday was my haldi ceremony and we enjoyed it a lot. Others were like they are playing holi with haldi only.
Everyone is happy but not Turu. Not because she isn't happy for me but because Masi is totally ignoring her.
From the day she has left our home masi is hell angry on her.
I and mausa ji both tried so many times to make her understand and forgive her but she isn't ready to listen to anything.
She is a tough nut to crack. I don't know why she isn't ready to forgive her and understand her perspective.
From our childhood masi always tried to stop Turu from exposing herself in front of others may it be dance or in clothes.
But nevertheless at the end she accepted everything but this time she isn't ready.
I don't know what will happen after I get married.
Turu will be alone here until she also gets married.
I sighed and took a deep breath to calm myself down.
"Stuti what are you doing? Why aren't you ready?" masi asked me
"Masi, it's only 2 pm. I have 2 hours in my hand to rest. After that I will get ready don't worry." I told her
"how can I not worry? Today is my daughter's wedding. Everything has to be perfect as my perfect daughter. Be a perfect daughter in law and wife beta. Never let your husband or in laws find any fault in you. And most importantly never say no to your husband. Let him have you, he has all rights on you. Be a submissive woman and your life will be smooth. Every man needs a submissive girl not a spit fire like your rebel sister. Only God knows how her husband will control her; he should put the leash on her before it's too late. I know you will do the correct thing only if you're not a disappointment like your sister. "masi said and honestly her words doesn't make any sense to me
What am I? A puppet? I am a calm girl that doesn't mean I don't have my opinions on my life or anything. Husband or not I won't let anyone control me.
And about Turu she is herself alone capable of taking care of herself. And she isn't a dog that needs to be leashed.
I wanted to tell her this but I didn't. She is my savior after my parents she and mausa ji have raised me so I can't disrespect her by talking over her.
"Masi Turu is not that bad. She is different, that's it. Everyone is different na. Don't worry about her or me, we both will be fine." I told her with a smile and my eyes go towards the door where Turu is standing
Shit! She heard everything oh god she must be hurt very much.
Turu is a very sensitive girl. She doesn't show it but her family affects her the most. If someone close hurts her then it affects her really bad.
Her eyes are glossy as well.
"Turu come inside, why are you standing there?" I asked her
She has already heard enough no need for extra work.
"nothing just wanted to spend some time with you. But you're busy. I will come later." saying she left from there
"see such a brat she is. In the place of apologising she is giving me a cold shoulder and taunting me. Such a shameless girl she is. Already people are talking that she has spent 2 months with her fiance and god knows what. I'm trying to shut them up but they are just too much. Anyways I'm leaving I have work to do. You try to put some sense in her pea size brain before getting ready. "masi said and I kept my mouth shut
I only nodded at her and she left.
I sighed and went to Turu's room and found her standing near the window.
" Turu, "I called her
" yeah, why are you here? You should have called me. I would have gone. It's not good that the bride herself is walking around and tiring herself. You have a long long night babe. You need energy for it." she said turning towards me
She is trying to show that she is fine but I know she isn't.
" Yes I do need energy and that I will get by doing this. "I said and hugged her tightly
She also hugged me back.
" she didn't mean it Turu you know her. Her tongue is Bitter like Neem leaves but her heart is not." I said and she just hummed
Something has changed in her and I'm not understanding what has changed in her.
From yesterday she isn't herself. I even asked her but she just shrugged it off.
" stuti "she call me name seriously
" hmm, "I hummed
" don't forget to share the details of your wedding night. It will help me on my own. "She said seriously and it took me some time to register what she said
I am sure my face is resembling a tomato.
" god I will kill you. "I told her
" You won't if you do then my Aashu will be left alone. And then he won't leave you. "she said and laughed.
" OK jokes apart I will surely miss you this year. This two months without you were pure torture only god knows how will I survive future. "she said
" don't worry, your Aashu won't let you miss me. He will fill the void. Now let's rest , we need to look perfect. "I told her and she nodded
" Wait, before leaving take your gift" she said and handed me big boxes.
I opened the boxes and found bangles and earrings.
"they are beautiful, thanks" I told her
"I know," She said and I hit her
We both go in my room and talk about random stuff.
Her mood is better now as she is smiling a real smile.
Time passed and the make up artists came to get me ready.
Turu was there looking at me while I was getting ready.
It took me 3 hours to get ready in my bridal attire..
The red lehenga, ornaments and chura are all giving me chills
They are reminding me of the change that is about to happen in my life soon.
Turu has also got ready. She is looking beautiful in her attire that has a Pista green lehenga set with full sleeves deep v neck blouse and same color lehenga with golden thread work over it with a net nude peach pink dupatta of golden border..
"you're looking breathtaking babe." she compliment me
"you too are looking gorgeous." I said and that's true
Everything is set and now it's time for me to get ready for Jaimala. We have come to the venue and I'm waiting here for them to call me.
Turu is with me to support me.
I covered my face and went downstairs with Turu.
I can see everything as my veil is transparent.
I hold my breath as my eyes fall on him.
He is looking breathtaking.
I slowly went towards him and the rest became blurred.
I didn't notice when the marriage was done.
My trance broke when he made me wear the mangalsutra first (nuptial chain) then filled my hair partition with sindur (vermilion) making me his for 7 life's.
"Finally you're Mrs. Stuti Suryash Mehra. Now no one can separate us." He said and I smiled shyly
This is the truth. Now I'm his wife.
Turu took 35,000 for hiding his shoes and he even gave it without any bargain. And the smile on her face was worth it. She didn't expect that he would give it without debate.
After marriage the worst thing is bidai where a girl has to leave her home to go with her husband.
Why did we girls have to leave only?
I cried very much and hugged everyone even I cried hugging Aashu as well.
He is like my brother more than a friend.
After crying a lot, I finally said my bye.
Turu was also crying very much and Aashu supported her. I hope they both will be there for each other like this.
I will again come here for a pag phere ritual where the girl comes back to her house after marriage and stays a day or two.
"don't cry this much Stuti, you can meet them any time you want. I also took a transfer. We are staying here only. Don't worry I don't like you crying. Your tears are too precious to be wasted like this." Suryash ji cooed at me and I don't know why I felt like crying more hearing him
I did a very stupid thing and that is I hugged him tightly and cried my eyes out.
He caressed my head and whispered sweet nothings.
I felt heat raising my cheeks when I realised what I did.
I wanted to get away from him but he didn't let me.
"never ever think to leave me or go away from me. Now you're tied with me. Till your last breath." He said and hugged me tightly
He and his possessiveness what will I do with it?
I thought and I sighed…
