Chapter 82
Sagar's POV
We all went to have food. Two big tables were arranged for our family and friends. We all settled down to have food.
Damini was sitting with me. My friends insisted that we feed each other. Damini was getting very shy but I was enjoying it.
My friends again started to tease us. They all made me eat a lot. Samar was looking so adoringly at Swati and she seemed to be getting conscious of that.
For the first time, I noticed that he was interested in something else when so much food was lying in front of him. He must be serious about her.
Our parents, Mathur uncle and other relatives were sitting on another table. They looked so happy and contented.
Manu was sitting between Swati and Vikram and was talking to Vikram. They were smiling a lot. Manu seemed very comfortable with him. Of course, he was her cousin. Sahil was still annoyed. He was looking at her even now.
Megha said something in Damini's ear and she closed her eyes and tried to hide her face behind her hand. But then she Megha again said something and Damini turned red. She blushed beautifully... I wanted to run away with her now.
" Stop staring at her.. she is your wife now you have your whole life to look at her. Spend some time with us while we are here. " Gautam said.
" Look who's talking... You forgot about your wedding day?? You kidnapped your own wife. " I said. But they kept teasing me.
After we finished our food, it was time for the Vidai.
Damini was getting very emotional and gave a tearful goodbye to her family and throws a handful of rice over her shoulder’s in her family’s direction. ( This way a girl expresses her gratitude towards them for taking care of her for so long.)
Her mom and dad also were very emotional and they made her sit in our car that was decorated with flowers. I touched their feet and they hugged and blessed me.
We all came back to our bungalow. My mom was standing there with Swati, Manu and all the other ladies. Mom welcomed us with an Arti platter and then Damini crossed the threshold after overturning a pot of rice with her right feet.
Then she immersed her feet in a big platter filled with a kumkum paste and walked ahead leaving her footprints.
My mom made us follow some more rituals and then she sent her away with Swati and Manu.
Damini's POV
Swati and Manu brought me to this room. It was decorated so beautifully. I was getting so shy all of a sudden after coming to this room. As every corner of the room looked so romantic.. that it made me even more aware of the fact that it was our wedding night.
Maurvi and all the other girls came and gave me many gifts here in my room. I was so confused that I looked at them and they smiled mischievously.
" What are those gifts?? Can I see it? " Swati asked and I nodded. Maurvi shook her had and held them tightly.
" NO..... These are for only you and Sagar to see. " Sandhya said shyly.
" Why can't we see them? " Swati asked.
" Because you are not married yet. " Priya said. Swati and Manu blushed too.
" Pack them to take them for your honeymoon. " Megha said and winked at me. My face was as red as a beetroot.
" You know you are looking so pretty that I am sure that Sagar is dying to be here with you... But his friends will not leave him alone. " Megha said.
I was blushing very hard, didn't know how to behave. They hugged me one by one, said all the best and went out.
Now I was alone in the room. I looked around and my face became more red.
We were finally married. I smiled at the memory of our school days.. the day when we both went for the drama. All the incidents came and go in my mind as if I was watching a movie.
I got married to the love of my life. I was very happy... Sagar was a gem of a person. Now he is mine...
But it was our wedding night... And I was a bit nervous. I was curious about the gifts they gave me, so I opened the bag...
Sagar's POV
My friends dragged me with them. Oh god... They would start now.
" So what are your plans now? " Rahul asked.
" What plans?? Are you seriously asking me that? " I glared at him.
" You stupid, we know what your plans are for today... He was asking about your honeymoon. " Mehul said and all of them laughed.
" We are going to Paris and London.. "
" So all set?? Taken everything for your trip? " Mehul asked. I knew what was about to come so I was getting a bit uncomfortable. "
" Yes. I have... "
" I have many ideas... Let me know if you want any or you need any information. " Vikram said.
" Shut up... " I said and blushed.
They gave me some gifts. And we all knew what those gift packs contained. I was so embarrassed.
" Oh god !! He is blushing more than his wife... What will happen on your wedding night..? " Gautam laughed again.
" I think she would have to... " Vikram said.
" Shut up yaar... " I glared at him.. this was going too far.
" ....... Start the conversation. " he completed his sentence. And everyone laughed.
" Pack all the things... You may need them." Mehul said.
" Thanks for your suggestions now shut up.. good night.." I said and they laughed.
" GOOD NIGHT... " They all said in unison.
" All the best... and don't forget to use protection. " Gautam said.
" Oh god... Please stop that.. "
" Why are you getting tensed ... Are you scared to go in your room? Don't get pressurised... Everything will be fine. there is no hurry. If you want I can give you... Some tips or information. " Gautam said.
" I will kill you all if you utter a single word now... Shut up... Go to your room and sleep. I don't need any advice from you. "
" Ok... Don't get emotional... " Said Mehul.
" Urghhh... Shut up ... "
I went to my room and my sister, Manu, Megha, Priya, Sandhya and Maurvi were standing on the door. They were smiling at me. Not again.
" What?? Good night. " I said to them as I wanted them to leave us alone but they kept smiling.
" Don't you have to sleep?? Good night... " I said to all of them.
" Sagar Ji, you need to give Neg to your sister... Then only she will let you in. " Maurvi said.
" What ?? This is my room... I have a right to go in my room." I was getting annoyed now.
" Yes, bhai but it is a ritual. " Swati said with a teasing smile. We always thought her to be a child... but she had grown up almost the same age as of Manu.
" Ok ... I will get a handsome groom for you. very soon... I promise.. now let me in. " I teased her.
" Don't try to act smart. I don't want any groom. I want a gift.." she blushed and said.
" Ok, I will gift wrap him. " I grinned.
" Bhai... I don't want. "
" But he is really good and handsome," I said smiling at her.
" I will tell mom... " she said.
" Tell dad too... I wanted to tell him about that man. Mom and dad will be really happy. I found someone for you. "
" I hate you Bhai... "
" You will thank me when I will tell his name... "
" Go inside.. but I am angry with you. "
" Awwww don't get angry dear. I will give you another gift also... Latest phone?? " I asked and she nodded happily and got aside.
" Ok, and I will send his number and photograph on that phone too. " I teased her and went inside.
