After getting some rest everyone got ready, anita looked gorgeous in simple saree , earrings and simple neckwear, bridesmaids too dressed beautifully except Naina,even though anita and others requested her to wear something good she preferred to wear normal chudidaar suit because pooja was going to happen and she didn't want to over do things , priya forced her and done her make up and hair
Akash got ready, he wore a kurta and dhoti,ahaan, abhay, vineet also wore traditional attires
Groom was asked to come down first, bride was asked to come after him, they made her ghunghat , Priya and naina came with anita, and went towards the pooja house where akash was already waiting, akash's mom and anita's mom came , akash's mom slowly removed the ghungat of anita, and did her tilak and gave her shagun, followed by anita 's mom who did the same to akash, akash and anita looked at each other for the first time after their engagement, akash smiled looking at her, anita blushed, panditji came and started the pooja, anita and akash stood beside each other, they handed the thaal to them, both of them held the thaal and started doing the aarti
Naina stood at the back and was fully devoted , she closed her eyes and was totally lost in devotion, ahaan observed this , he came and stood beside her
AHAAN 'S POV
The day I saw her I felt so connected to her though we never met but it felt like I knew her from before, she was different, different from the girls I came across before, our first meet was unusual, she ran into me and we fell down, she was messy yet she was beautiful, when I saw her, her eyes attracted me in a very different way, when I pulled her close she got scared , her nose turned red making her look hot , she seems to be short tempered and stubborn , she was not my type, usually I come across girls who hits on me but she was not like them ,I wanted to know more about her
When I saw her standing and praying with so much dedication I got curious to know about her wishes , I went and stood beside her
"bhagwaan ji anita ko saari khushiyaan dena, aur jiju ko himmat dena ki wo anita ko humesha khush rakhe ", she said and I smiled listening to her prayers, she kept praying for everyone taking their names but didn't ask anything for herself
" dadi ke pau mai bahut dard hota hai ab mai nahi hoon unke paas tho please ab dard kam kar dena , dadu hamesha medicines lena bhool jaate hai aap unko yaad dilaa dena, Nana naani zyaada na lade please unka khayaal rakhna, aur bhaiya mujhe miss kar rahe honge aur mai bhi unko bahut miss kar rahi hoon, hope sab theek ho, aap Sab ka khayaal rakhna love you so much ", she said and opened her eyes
" apne liya kuch nahi maanga? " , I asked
she looked at me in shock "tum yahaan kya kar rahe te? , aur tumne meri baatein sunn li? , idiot learn some manners ", she replied making me smile even more
" kyu nahi sunni chahiye thi? , I asked
"of course nahi sunni chahiye, eavesdropping is wrong Dr saheb ko itne bhi manners nahi hai? " she said
"tum itne pyaar se prathna kar rahi thi dil pighal gaya mera ", I said and looked everywhere else but me
" this is pooja room at least idhar tho acche se behave karo ", she replied as she tried to avoid an eye contact with me
" main abhi acche se hi behave kar raha hoon , you didn't answer apne liye kuch nahi maanga tumne kyu?", I asked because I was curious to know
She started walking out of pooja room and I followed her
"bolo na", I asked again
" mujhe kuch nahi chahiye isiliye nahi maanga aur wese bhi apne liye mangne se accha hai dusron ke liye maango ,duwaaye jaldi poori hoti hai " , she replied
"tum sach mai itni acchi ho ya phir you are just trying impress me ", I said and winked at her , like expected she got annoyed
" look who is talking, I am not interested in you ", she replied making me feel unattractive for the first time
" you broke my heart ", I said and kept my hand on my heart and teased her
" fix it ", she said
" will you fix it? " , I teased her again
"fix it yourself " she replied and was about to go , I held her hand to stop her
"I am sorry I won't annoy you now,let's just talk for some more time jab tak pooja nahi ho jaati please ", I said
" leave my hand ", she said, I didn't realize that I was still holding her hand, I immediately left and apologized again
" ok wese bhi I am bored too ", she replied with smile which made me smile too
We both sat on the sofa opposite to each other, in living area and started the convo, I wanted to know more about her so I tried to initiate the convo
" so you live in a joint family ", I asked her
" yeah ", she replied with a smile
" tell me more about your family ", I asked her and she looked at me by raising her one eye brow
" why do you wanna know about them ", she asked
" just like that it's ok if you don't wanna tell ", I replied
" mom, dad, bhaiya, nanu, nani, dadu dadi, we all live together, you know it feels so good to stay with them, time kab nikal jaata hai pata hi nahi chalta", she said
" looks like you are most pampered one ", I said
" how do you know", she asked
"the way you are talking about them, bahut pyaar karte honge tumhe ", I said
" yes bahut zyaada pyaar karte hai, you know kabhi kabhi na aisa lagta hai ki bas ghar par hi rahu kahin na jaau, not because I get everything I ask for but because the love and care I get means so much to me, I have only gratitude towards my family, mumma humesha kehti hai they are blessed to have me as their daughter aur mai kabhi keh hi nahi paati ki I am blessed to have this amazing family, ab jab idhar sirf 2 din guzaara tho pata chal raha how much I miss them, I haven't been away from them not even for a second ", she said with tears in her eyes
Listening to her talks I got emotional too, I miss my mom dad every freaking second, it felt like I was the most unluckiest guy on this planet
" hey are you okay? " she asked
"you are so lucky ", I could only say this in choked voice
" kya huwa tumhe? are you crying? ", she asked again
" I have to make a call ", I replied and stood up and walked out
