Hi friends

Sry for the long waiting..I lost my interest in writing and so thought to put an end to my stories but later I thought I will give myself to come back to me and here I am back in action. Hope you didn't miss me much😉

Part 14

Madhus POV

I wore the dress Misha tossed to me in dilemma..I didn't get what is going on and why it is so important for me  to get married to Rk in place of trishna,that too in such a situation that he dosent like me. I heard Misha shouting from the other side of the door
"Come on madhu..be fast.how much time you are taking to wear a lehenga.. may I come in and help you " she shouted banking on the door
"Misha..it's alnost done.please be calm " I tried to console her eventhough I am the one who has to be calmed down.
I didn't get what they blabbered about me and abhay . The whole scenario was giving me a bad headache.
I opened the door and came out trying to tie the dori of my blouse.
"Comeon"Misha pulled me to the dressing table and made me sit on the chair.she tied it and started doing my hair without a word.
"Misha..." I called her to get her attention I wanted to get a clear picture about everything.
"What"she asked without meeting my eyes .I looked at her through the mirror but she never looked at me and indulged in pinning something on my hair .
"Misha...I want to talk to Rk"I said
"What!!..."she looked startled..."no...no way...the groom and bride can't see or talk with each other.it will lead to a bad omen"she said
"But Misha...here situation is different.. please try to understand" I said
"Sorry madhu...I can't help you in this..look madhu I like you alot and we are doing this to save yourself and your wreched sister.so do what I say and don't worry about rk..he will come along because he knows the consequences." Misha said
"But misha I..."my words were cut when she turned the chair and dabbed something on my face
" Shhh... everything will be alright ... believe me"she shushed me like a strict mother.
She put some makeup on my face and moved away from me as if she is analysing her art .
"Nice...you look gorgeous" she appreciated her own work
She turned me again and now I saw my image on the mirror.i look different and I felt myself a little proud for the beautiful lady I had seen in the mirror.

"Now...come ...let's be presented to your future family" she said pulling me to the hall.
I saw Kabir was welcoming some people inside .
"Wow...his bride is gorgeous" a middle-aged lady who entered said seeing me.
"Yes..she is honey"someone followed her said"and she smells good too" he added
I felt awkward for the couple to talk like this .
"Your name"the man asked taking my hand in his and kissing on the back of my palm. I felt his face lingering on my hand and he smelt hard on it
"Madhubala"I said shoving my hand quickly from his grip
"Wow...nice name and overall nice ..good selection for a leader."he said as if he is announcing the consent for our marriage.
Then two more men and women came near me and each of the men kissed my palm .they all nodded as if they approved the first man's opinion.
I saw kabeer coming towards me .he also took my hand and kissed .he nodded to the first one.
"This is just a ceremony...they have to approve your marriage..the first one is the high priest who will be there for the ceremony" Misha explained
I nodded eventhough I felt the whole situation as a clipping from a movie of an old century.
"Now let's have the blood and get it done fast"the priest said
"Yes...father"the others repeated
I looked at those in awe as how much respect they are giving to the said priest.
"Sit.. comfortably"Misha said me.
The priest took out a the bottle and other necessary things .he approached me and took my hand .he carried out quickly and skillfully like a professional.
"There it go...shhh...it's nothing just a pricking pain"he consoled me as if I am a little child
I felt the pain and saw my blood oozing out into the bottle. One of the men was fidgeting with his fingers and he tightened his fist as if he is controlling himself from something. The priest turned to him and commanded him
"Nathan...out.."he said in a growling voice.
I felt the man left in such a speed that I couldn't recognise when he left.
I saw worry on the others face but they all covered with a smile
"He is happy some problem with seeing blood...you know some kind of phobia"the priests wife tried to support him but I felt something odd behind her words.
"It's done"he said removing the needle and applying a cotton on my wound. I saw my blood in the bottle .he tooled it and screwed the cap carefully.
"Get ready early morning darling...your aunt sheela and mona will come to pick you to the altar" he said pointing to his wife and another woman.
I nodded to him and they all left giving me a smile.
"Oh..I didn't offer them anything" I said to myself when I came out of the trance
" It's alright ...they won't take anything outside from  home"Misha said
"Oh.."I sighed
"Misha..I.."I tried to say something but I felt heaviness in my eyes and I yawned.
" Madhu....get some sleep...you are tired because of the blood loss" Misha said
I wanted to say that they didn't took more than an ounce but I couldn't talk because of exhausion .I felt Misha helping me to the bed and I fell into oblivion

Mishas POV

I felt sorry for making her sleep but I didn't have any other choice than to face her questions .she will again want to talk to abhay and I couldn't resist her pleas any more.l sighed and dropped down on the couch.kabir came to me and massaged my shoulders.
"Tired mishu" he asked
"No Kabir...just worried...I don't know what.will happen tomorrow ..how rk will react to this..will he realize the taste of the blood when he takes it?"u asked
"No Misha...he can't as it is mixed with his own ..it will taste different" Kabir assured
"Huh...may be... anyways everything is for better ... otherwise rk has to be with tyhat witch for the whole eternity"I said

"Yeah..."Kabir nodded and kissed my forehead"let's go and do the other things for marriage..let her have a long sleep"Kabir said

Madhus POV

I opened my eyes to someone pulling me from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes to see Misha
"Com on sleeping beauty ...it's time to get ready for your prince"she said
"Misha...is it morning already"I asked
"Yes dumbo...you sleeped for 12 hours"she said
"Ah...oh"I said while she pulled me out of the bed.she is manhandling me from yesterday..sry woman handling
"Go and take a nice bath...your dress is here my lady" she saluted me like a maid. I laughed at her actions and went inside the bathroom.when cold water hit me I thought"what am I doing...what's this all...I am going to take an important decision in my life and here it is hurried that I didn't have time to sort out anything"
Then a calmness washed over me and I felt light .every worries washed away and I lost the power of thinking.everything finished in few minutes and now I am in a red bridal dress ready to go to the altar.
The two women held my hand and walked me onto the car.they sat on either side of me as of to protect me and looking around for some danger.
We reached abgays house in a minute as it is just next door.there was no need of a car but I was not sure y they preferred one.
I was lead to.the main hall and they opened a small door which seems to be a wall for a person who doesn't know about it.it lead to a stairs going down into a dark place .I hesitated.a little
"It's okay pia" Misha reassure me and I walked along with them.the stairs winded down and down as if it is going to the centre of the earth.finally after climbing down a hundred steps I reached a well litted spacious hall.
The priest was in a black ceremonial dress.he was standing in a dias .the wall of the altar was bare, without any statue or pictures but a small table was kept beside and a book resembling a religious one was placed there and there was a white cubicle there.
The priest smiled to me and said " come and stand here"he showed me a white ring on the floor drawn with some sort of powder.i stood inside the ring and looked at him for the next words.
He took the ancient book and chanted something in a language which I couldn't recognise.i felt his voice increasing and it is echoing in the hall...
"Who are you??"he asked
"M....madhu.."I felt a bit scared
"Whose chosen you are??"he asked

I looked at him confused
"Whom you are getting married??"he asked

"Rk"I said
"Are you willing to do this"he asked
I stayed a little quiet and I felt a push on my back as if to answer fastly
"Y...yes"I said
"Do you know the vows??"he asked
"Yes...b..but I don't remember the whole"I said
"Then I will tell it for you and you have to repeat " he said
I nodded and he started the weird vows I had ever heard.

I will be always bound to Rk. He will be the decision maker in everything.i wholey belongs to him and whatever he decides will be my future . My body belongs to him and I will offer myself to him whenever and wherever he wants. My soul will be bound to him till he decides my end" he said and repeated the words.
He turned took two small bottles containing some thick red fluid and Mxed both into another container .I saw two liquids are mixing together and some pops are heard from it..
"What is it...some sort of acid "I thought
When it stopped popping he dropped some on to the cubicle .I felt the blood vanished .Everyone knelt down and said something in the other language.
"Come here ...my daughter" he said
I walked towards him.
"Open your mouth" he said
I looked at him in awe"seal your bond with him" he said
I didn't get anything but opened my mouth.hr took a spoon of the liquid from the bowl and poured it into my mouth.i felt scared as the acid might burn me but it tasted irony like blood
" Yes it's blood" I thought .I wanted to spit it but it was gone as if it is melted into my body.
The priest moved to the wall and opened a small door enough for a man to enter.he closed it behind us.I turned and looked at Misha
"Wait a few minutes"she said
I nodded and looked at the door on the wall. Few minutes later I felt a pull in my heart and I felt a pressure in my veins.
"Misha... it's" I tried to say something
"It's okay" Misha held my hand and squeezed it .I felt the pressure fade away after few minutes.
I heard the door opened and the priest came out smiling and I saw Rk following him.
"Congrats mr and mrs kundra" the priest said looking at me and Rk
Then rk turned his eyes to me and I saw him looking wide eyed
" What...no..." He said
The priest and others were looking at us in confusion.
I saw Kabir tapping on his back and suddenly Rk smiled .he came to me and took my hand and kissed.
"Welcome to my life mrs kundra" he said happily
I looked at him in awe
