Hello Everyone.
Shot 2
The Wedding !!
Karthik’s POV.
I just smiled at her. This was the perfect moment to propose her.
“I think Rithvik has sent those gifts because I got a message to come here on my last gift. I meet him here so I think its him.” Naira said and her eyes twinkled.
“What ?!!! No !! I am the one who sent those gifts because I love you” I literally screamed at her.
She looked at me bewildered. It took me a few seconds to analyze what I had just said. I looked at her. She frowned. Sighed. Laughed.
“Its a joke, right ?!! Its a prank that you are playing on me. Plan to fool me on my birthday itself. Not fair, Karthik.” She said, Laughed and turned around to walk away.
But before she could leave, I held her hand and said ” I want to marry you and it’s true. No prank Naira. I am in love with you. Truly, Madly and Deeply in love with you.”
We were standing in the same position for the next few seconds. Then, She just released her hand from mine and went away without uttering a word and without turning back.
“She neither rejected it nor accepted it”, my mind said. I was restless due to her behavior. Few minutes later I received a text from her saying, “when shall we talk to our parents about our marriage, my soon to be husband ?!!”.
My eyes widened and my lips turned into a smile reading the text. As the feeling set in I started jumping and hopping all around the park. People looked at me as if I was mad. Well I was mad in her love !!
Well the first step was done. The next one was the Marraige. It wasn’t an easy job to convince our parents as we expected since they didn’t believe in love marriage. Their thoughts about love before marriage is a sin.
They tried to talk us out of it, stating that we were just infatuated with each other and soon the attraction would fade out. It took us nearly a year to convince them. During that period, we were abandoned from communicating with each other.
After making a lot of promises and efforts, we got married with our parents blessing. It was a very small family wedding with limited guests as both of us wanted to spend our earnings and not our parents savings.
I was so nervous. Who wouldn’t be nervous on their first night ?!! I was in front of my room, rubbing my hands and took a deep breath. I opened the door and was shocked. The room was decorated with flowers, balloons and scented candles.
But my beautiful wife was missing. She was not in the room. Where was she ?!!
Just then I heard water sound from the wash room. I mentally slapped myself for being impatient. I sat on the bed and waited for her. The door clicked open and I saw her in a night suit. She didn’t look at me and went to the other side of the room and hanged the wet towel to dry.
She again disappeared into the wash room but came out soon with her jwelery. She placed them inside the cupboard. I just watched her as she carried out her activities. She did some not – so –important works testing my patience.
For god’s sake, it was our first night. Does she know what it means ?!! The thought itself was making me uneasy. If she didn’t know it how should I proceed ?!! I bit my nails. As every man, I too dreamed about it. Finally, she sat on the bed keeping two feet distance between us.
“Sorry” She said.
It was the only word I heard from her after entering the room half an hour back.
“What are you sorry for ?!!” I asked, decreasing the distance between us.
“I can’t do this.” she said, looking at her palm.
“What are you talking about ?!!” I asked although I knew what she was talking about.
This time, she looked at me, “I got my periods. Everything, we dreamed of is spoiled” she said pouting her lips.
We hadn’t even kissed before today. We waited for this day to cross our all limits. I sighed and held her by her shoulder and put her head on my chest.
“don’t worry my sweetie. It won’t be a waste. We have many more nights ahead” I said.
I picked a night dress for me. I took it and came inside the washroom. I hanged the clothes on its hanger. I splashed some water on my face. I looked at the mirror and just shook my head with a smile. ‘life is not all about love making’.
I took a quick shower and dressed up in night suit. When I came out, she was asleep. I combed my hair while looking at her through the mirror. Then, I pecked her cheek and laid beside her. I took her in my arms and she snuggled into me. I fell asleep while caressing her hair.
I learned that Marraige life would be all about compromises from both ends. I learned it on the first day of marraige itself. It is going to be a long journey ahead I reminded myself and fell into the deep slumber.
