The wedding ceremony ended Flowers rained down in laughter and blessings. Smiles surrounded us, warm and approving. Cameras flashed, voices called our names together, as if we had always belonged side by side. For a moment, I let myself breathe it in—the colours, the music, the weight of tradition settling gently on my shoulders.
When he stood beside me, steady and composed, I felt the strangest comfort in knowing at least one thing was constant in all this noise. He didn’t look at me much, but his presence was firm, grounding, like an anchor I hadn’t known I needed.
My heart slowed.
Not because everything suddenly made sense—but because the chaos had passed. The rituals were complete
During vidai i cried yes ofc i cried, Mehar, kushi , even dad cried with the overwhelming emotions , the memories we hold , the time we have spent and now I'm moving out of this beginning new world with someone else.
I sat in the backseat of car and him beside me , drive was quite only the hum of the engine*
I was so tired , sleepy , and still overwhelmed*
I leaned my head against the window and Started drifting off but before that he pulled me towards him , resting my head on his shoulder, i was too tired to argue or deny him so i ya rested my head on his shoulder and after a while it felt comfortable and i dozzed off*
His pov:
Her pov:
Not the ceremony—that part went exactly as planned. Rituals, voices, expectations fulfilled. I stood where I was told to stand, said what I was meant to say. I’ve always been good at doing what’s required of me.
What I didn’t expect was how aware I would become of her.
She stood beside me, close enough that I could sense the tension in her posture. From the outside, she looked calm—graceful, even. Anyone watching would think she belonged perfectly in that moment.
But I noticed the things no one else did.
The way her fingers tightened before she forced them to relax.
The slight hesitation in her steps, as if she was still adjusting to the idea of moving forward.
The controlled stillness that comes from holding too much inside.
I didn’t look at her directly. I wasn’t sure what I’d find if I did. Instead, I stepped close and held her shaking hand.
Her breathing steadied.
The ceremony ended and as per the rituals at the time of her vidai she cried.. i didn't console her because it's her time to feel that way but my chest tighten, after that we both sit in the car and as the drive started she started feeling sleepy i can see her tiredness she began leaning on window for support but before that i pulled her towards me and let her rest her head on my shoulder at first she was stiff but after a while her body relaxed and she finally dozzed off*
Drive was quite, her breathing was soothing*
Reached home*
Uh..diya..( i whispered slowly trying not to be loud while she's sleeping) ..utho ghr agya..
Mmzz ( she murmured) ..
Diya ghr agya utho..
Hmm? Ghr? ..( she opened her eyes slightly to look around unfamiliar surroundings)
Oh um..han sry ( she made her sleepy steps outside the car )
( I watch her zig zag steps and suddenly she almost tripped but before that)
Are thyn se. ( I held her waist to steady her )
Uh mera lehnga tha bs..
She gasped as i carried her bridal style and started walking in the house where everyone was waiting for arti , rituals etc.
Kya kr rhe ho niche utaro! Mai khud chl lungi , jada free mtt ho smjhe ! (She kept saying she didn't even mean but she was too tired to walk also so um yea I have to carry her )
( I looked at her and she? Avoided my eyes)
Maa was smiling at the view and she began with arti*
Baki k rasme kl krlenge abhi jao aram kro
Diya tried to hide probably embarrassed*
I took her to the room and finally let her down*

Halat dekhi thi khud ki? Ek toh itna bhari lehnga upr se tumhari neend

( As i opened the empty side of my wardrobe there was her clothes but also with the one night dress hanging there absolutely on purpose with a note - bahu yahi pehn na Anirudh ko pasand ayegi)
( I closed the wardrobe asap* )
Kya hua , Nahi hai ? ( She asked)
Uh..han nahi hai kl arrange krwa dunga abhi k liye tum..yeh t shirt aur trouser phen lo ( i gave her my clothes)
Yeh!? ( She said dramatically like it's the most dirtiest thing i have gave to her to wear )
Kya ? Washed hai , koi dikt hai toh lehnge mein hee so jao , mujhe neend arhi hai jldi kro .
( She took the clothes and went to change , till then i removed my shervani now only in my pants * )
She came out of bathroom and she gasped* hey bhagwan ( she turned to move into bathroom again to only got hit by the door) ouch ! 😭
Dhyan se.
Kapde pehno!
Pehne toh hai .
Upar ka kaha hai !?

Mujhe ese hee neend ati hai adat dal lo .
( She slammed her fist on bathroom door as warning)
Pehn raha hu . Sighs* ( i pulled down my t shirt and in all this chaos i forgot that she came out wearing my clothes looking like a small rabbit which might have lost )
Hm hogya.
( She turned around) Sharm hai ?
Sorry.
( She straight went to other side of the bed and started preparing for sleep)
Goodnight..
Goodnight!
Woah. 😏
( After changing my pants too i also get into the other side of bed , staring at ceiling ,
soon she was asleep i tried not to move too much so that i don't disturb her sleep and after few minutes i also dozzed off)
