Roshni

It was time for reception and let me tell you it wasn't really making me happy. These hair artists are pulling my hair and these beauticians are painting my face with this stupid make up. And on top of this, the heavy jewelry and this heavy lehenga. Though I love blue but still it is too heavy for my taste. 

After four hours of trouble they were done and finally left. I wanted nothing but to sleep like a dead person and the reception not even started.

I heard the door opening as I leaned on the bed rest to give myself a little rest. I opened my one eye to found Anav ji taking out his watch from the dressing table.

He is so lucky to have so simple things to wear. Not so complex like me. This chooda, nuptial chain and vermilion. This heavy earrings, necklace, Maang tika and this Nose ring. This heavy waist band and on top of it this ring bracelet. I feel like nothing on my body is free right now. I feel so jealous of my own husband but this is not really fair. I wanted nothing but to change in my night suit.

"We will leave in half an hour", He said as he came outside bringing his tie with him. I just nodded sighing heavily. This is the life of a newly married wife. 

I opened my eyes to find him looking at his reflection trying to tie his tie having his all attention talking on his phone having worry lines on his forehead. If he continued wearing his tie like that then we would get old in this room only but he won't end up wearing it properly. 

Let's do the wife duty than Roshni. I thought before taking the tie from him as he was busy in shouting orders on his phone. His eyes were trained on me. I put all my attention on the tie and continued helping him without looking in his eyes.

"You don't have to do all this", He said as I completed my task and he ended his call.

"You should have told me this before. Here I was so tired still decided to help you and you on the other hand are trying to act rude. Mumma is so sweet and you are always acting like Mr. Rude. I don't know on whom you take this trait from. If you had this much problem with me doing your work than you should have told me before hand only. And yeah welcome. You didn't say thank you but I will consider it", I told him reaching to the bed again and leaning back. Stupid husband. 

You have to act like a shy bride Roshni. My brain told me.

You know better to never irritate me. I told myself and shut my thoughts. I should have seen his reaction at least. Was he killing me with his glare. Forget it Roshni you have to take rest. You need to look beautiful. You won't have your reception again. I felt my phone ringing making me groan no body can let me close my eyes for a minute.

tu jo mila sab mil gaya
dil ki namaazein jaake
pahunchi falak se aage
to jaake paaya tujhkomere rehnuma...

mujhko mera rab mil gaya
baahon se aage teri
duniya nahi hai meri
rakh le mujhko yahin
mere rehnuma...

I groaned once again before picking it up without looking at the caller id. I am so irritated by those beauticians.

"Are you seriously having the same ringtone till now", I heard my cousin from the other side.

"Which one?", I asked her hugging the pillow close to my chest.

"That rehnuma one", She asked.

"Yup", I said still having my eyes closed.

"What will your husband think about you. He will think he married some girl who have so weird taste in songs or you are planning to seduce him", She said naughtily making me huff in annoyance.

"You want me to change the ringtone to the one I had before", I asked her ignoring her comment.

"You mean that Jhak Maar ke", She asked as I giggled.

"Nothing can change you Roshni. Ji aa rahi hu(I am coming)", She shouted in a distance.

"We are leaving okay. It will take nearly an hour to reach to the venue. Karan is so bad with directions you know that. Though the venue is at half hour distance but we would reach in an hour only", She groaned talking about jiju as I giggled.

"You are no better", I said as she hummed before shouting bye and leaving. Now I know from whom I got this craziness. But I am a little more crazier than her. I threw the phone on the other side of the bed when I felt a grip on my wrist and I was immediately standing. I opened my eyes as the pillow was pulled away from my grip as I pouted. I looked at the intruder of my peace to find it none other than my husband.

"We are leaving", He stated picking my phone from the bed and keeping it in his blazer. I guess now I don't have to worry about my phone anymore. But wait a minute he said we are leaving in half an hour.

"Par you said we will leave after half an hour", I told him pouting my lips pointing my index finger at him. The bangles in my chooda were making so much noise.

"I changed my mind", He said pulling me with him outside the room.

"I am not a doll. Stop pulling me", I said keeping up with his fast pace. Though I am tall but I am nothing in front of his 6'2 inch height while I am only 5'7. I feel like I am too short.

"If you didn't fasten your pace I won't mind picking you up in my arms and reaching to the ceremony like that", He threatened.

"You won't do that", I challenged trying to pull my wrist from his hold. He stopped and I felt utter happiness thinking he agreed and I could do whatever I want but the next moment he scooped me in his arms making me squeal.

I looked at him with wide eyes as he made his way downstairs.

"Everybody would see please put me down. Also I am heavy please put me down", I tried to negotiate or more like I was pleading here forgetting my bold avatar a moment ago.

"Don't worry sweetheart I do gym everyday so even if you gain twice your weight I can pick you up. Also everybody already left for the ceremony. It's only me and you left in the house. And if I let you behave the way you behaved a moment ago acting like a stubborn little thing you would get more spoiled. And I don't want a spoiled little kid as my wife", He said making me sit in the car and entered from the other side.

"I am not a little thing", I argued glaring at him as he fully ignored me and continued with his driving.

"Rude Khurana", I mumbled.

"I heard that ", He said without moving his eyes from the road.

"It was meant to be heard by you", I said pouting again because he was not meant to hear it. God I am so stupid.

Soon we reached to the venue and there was so much media around. I felt my body shivering because of nervousness. He moved to the other side to open the door for me. I looked at him as I started taking long breathes. I tried to act normal but my chest was heaving and my whole body was shivering. I don't know if I could walk as well. He looked at me before taking my wrist in his grip pulling me out of the car.

He placed a hand around my exposed waist as I shivered and pulled me towards him so I was taking his support. I was still shivering as we entered inside without answering any question of the media as I was looking down holding him for my dear life.

As we entered inside he pulled me to a deserted corner and I let him. He rubbed my hand lightly before pulling me to his chest as I started taking deep breathes. It was too much for me. He was continuously rubbing my back to calm me but I knew better it won't work but his body scent some how calmed me down as I started getting normal. This same thing happened with me in our wedding when I was taken to the stage. But the moment he hold my hand everything was little bearable but right now I was feeling at peace in heaven with his warmth surrounding me.

After a moment he pulled back looking at me with a blank face this time. He is definitely suffering from facial paralysis.

"You alright", He asked as I nodded as we made our way inside the venue.

Soon after thousands of pictures we were left alone and I can spend some time with my dear Saachi. She is actually one and a half year old but with her maturity level and chubbiness she looks 2 that's why she can only say some words like choket, mumma, bui and so on. Bhaiya don't like us telling people that she is younger. I sighed kissing her cheek as she was playing with my necklace having her arms wrapped around my neck.

"Let me feed her", Bhabhi said as she tried to take her from me but she tightened her arms around me. I smiled at bhabhi before asking her to bring her milk bottle. She is still dependent on bhabhi to feed her milk. She is not taking anything other than chocolate. Weird but still she is so chubby and cute. We are trying to make her habitual of having her milk from milk bottle so she stop being so much dependent on bhabhi. I was feeding her while Anav Ji was talking to his business partners. I saw some relative from Anav Ji's side coming on the stage as I gave Saachi back to bhabhi who take her down.

"Anav see your wife is more than prepared to have kids. So when are we getting the good news", One aunty said. What the hell? I am only 20 will be 21 in a month. I am not ready to be a mother.

"Aunty If I know better it's been two years of your son's wedding still they are not planning kids. And here it's not been a day since we got married and you want good news?", Anav ji said making me shock. I thought he don't really speak. Oh I forgot he ignores me only. I am not having any thorns. I mean who can ignore his cute and innocent wife.

Of course Anav Khurana. Now back to the point Aunty's face was red with anger as she left glaring at me. What I did here?

"Are you going to die with hunger", He asked me glaring at me now. What is this man's problem? Control Roshni he helped you just a while ago. You can fight some other time.

"But what I did?", I said in a mere whisper.

"Oh right what you had after breakfast", He asked tucking some hair behind my ear glaring at me as I looked at him before biting my lips thinking what I really had. Mumma fed me than I went to our room at 1. Then the make up artists were there at 3 so I didn't really had food in my mind at that time. I was busy killing those girls in my mind.

"I breathed in oxygen", I told him patting my back for such a smart answer smiling brightly at him.

"Stop smiling like a stupid", He scolded me.

"At least I have beautiful teeth to show why are you jealous. Have I stopped you to show yours. That's a different thing if you have facial paralysis", I told him.

"Facial Paralysis?", He asked looking at me with amusement.

"Of Course Facial Paralysis always busy in glaring at me and shouting orders at people. Banda smile hi kar deta h thoda par nahi aapko toh sada sa muh banana h. Jabki aisa face toh mujhe banana chahiye itne sadele aadmi ke saath shaadi ho gai"(A man can smile a little but no you have to make such a bad face. When I should make such face. I am the one who is married to such an irritating man), I told him glaring at him this time.

"You know you are going to stay with me only in my room so I would suggest you to keep your sharp tongue in check", He said.

"Sharp tongue? How do you know my tongue is sharp I don't remember cutting anything with my tongue", I retorted.

"You just wait till the time we reach home", He said nodding to the guests who passed us talking how cute couple we are Can't stop talking to each other.

Only if they knew what we were doing.

"Are Jaiye jaiye mein aapse nahi darti. Self defence mein best hu mein dekhungi kya karenge aap",(I am not really scared of you. I will see what you would do I am the best in my self defence) I told him before smiling evilly. I pulled his cheek.

After another round of pictures we went home. We didn't dance because my feet started swelling due to the heavy dress and anklets.

He made me sit in the car carefully. Whatever it is but this man is really very caring in his nature. Otherwise I don't think any other man would have taken my tantrums with so much patience. As he started the car I looked at him to find his attention on the road.

"Anav Ji", I called him as he looked at me for a mere second before diverting his attention ahead.

"Thank you for taking care of me and before you say you were doing it because people were watching than I would say I saw care in your eyes", I told him before sighing and leaning back but damn these sandals hurt. I winced a little and the car came to a halt immediately. I looked at him to find him leaving the car and coming my side and opened the door. Before I could do anything he freed my feet from those irritating sandals and threw them in the back seat before adjusting the seat so I could lie back properly. Now what else do you want in your husband? 

I smiled at him as he get back on his seat. Though I never wanted him to touch my feet but his actions really touched my heart. I can happily spend my life with this irritating yet caring husband of mine. I felt so cared and loved by his mere actions and I felt myself falling more deeply for him than I already loved him.

Of course I did loved him. For the way he cared for his family. For the way he change his behavior so easily with his family. A responsible son for papa, A childish baby for his mother, A teasing brother for his sister, and a complaining twin with his brother. It was so astonishing to see him change his nature in a second. And I was proud to be his wife.

"Anav Ji never touch my feet ever again", I told him seriously.

"And why is it so?", He asked looking at the road ahead.

"Because you are my husband and it is not right. Also haven't you read Ramayana it is a sin for the wife", I told him.

"You are my wife and I can touch you whenever I want you can't stop me", he said as I became red the next moment thinking about his words.

We at last reached home and he picked me in his arms effortlessly and I picked my stupid sandals in my hand.

"If you are so uncomfortable wearing those things than why even wore them", He said poiting to my sandals getting irritated at once.

"Being a girl is complicated you know", I told him shrugging my shoulders tightening my grip around his neck. Can't take the risk of falling down.

"Am I going to see you all dolled up everyday with this make up and heavy clothes", He said with distaste.

"If you don't like this make up and these heavy clothes than I would say I Love You Anav Ji for understanding me", I said as he made me sit on the bed and kissed his cheek putting my sandals on the floor.

"What did you just say?", He asked me as I looked at him with confusion.

"What? Did I said something wrong?", I asked him with confusion.

"You just said you love me", He said as I looked at me with a are you serious look.

"Anav Ji I said I love you to my husband only. You are acting like I said I Love You to a stranger cheating on you. Of course I will Love my husband only. What is there to be this surprised?", I asked removing the heavy necklace.

I stood up to change when he pulled me to him as I gulped looking at his facial expression. Oh my god Did I do something wrong? Kanha please save me.
