What's this, kitten?, You haven't changed yet? Veer asked looking at Anika who is sobbing hugging her knees in a corner without changing into the bridal outfit which he gave.

He lifted her chin and sighed glancing at her messed make up.
I thought when I set foot in, you would have dolled up for our wedding and would sitting with a blushy face, but… Hey don't afraid, I wast just about to clean your face, can I? He asked holding tissue in hand and started wiping her face with the tissue without waiting for her reply. 

You know baby...you don't need to make up to look beautiful, You are looking gorgeous without wearing any kind of artificial make up. So, go. He threw out the crushed tissue paper in it, fell in Trash can. Yeah, he squealed and offered his hand for HIFI. Anika jerked backward shuttering eyes.
It's okay, he shrugged. Look I'm ready in tiptop shape, but you are sitting crying…TCH not good. Come on, hurry up... Priest would reach her in anytime. Where is your lehenga, he scanned the room and found the lehenga in a corner.

Seems like you had showed all the anger on me to this outfit. He said looking at the messed up lehenga.

It's okay, let me change your dress before he would come
He said approaching Anika with lehenga. No…no... please...no
Anika stammered hugging her knees. Anika Don't make me angry, veer said scratching her temple controlling his anger. I..

He closed his eyes hearing the door knock sound. Coming, he clenched his jaws and went to answer the door. He opened the door and found the priest standing having the things required for marriage. He let him in, and shut the door after checking right and left out.

You start the things for marriage, we'll come soon, he said and walked to the Anika who is shivering hugging her knees.

Don't be stubborn, the priest has come… Quickly change into it without showing tantrums, he made her stand pulling her hand.
Anika stick herself to the wall seeing him opening the blouse hook of lehenga. Don't worry, he won't see, if he did then that will be the last vision he had seen, he said dangerous, locking Anika between the wall.

Groom you come and sit here,
Priest interrupted.

Don't you see we are busy, wait sometime, veer shouted looking at priest's face?

I can wait, but auspicious time can't wait for you. If you want to get married today then come and sit. Bride can come little later
priest replied adding ghee in home.

Veer punched his fist on wall, and went and sat near homa.
Keep your look here*pointing the fire* not there, priest commented at the veer who is constantly looking at Anika.

Veer grinned his teeth and stare the fire, cursing the priest under his breath. Priest fake cleared his throat, repeat the mantras I'm telling, not bad words. Priest mocked veer, putting ghee in holy fire.

Enough of mantras, now call the bride quick, veer said impatiently and lift his head to see Anika. Ah…ha… Don't lift your head, priest gave a hit on veer's head with the ghee spoon and covered veer's face with the stole he was wearing.

What the hell you are doing?
Veer frowned.

Chup! It's a ritual. Just stay like this until I say
Priest commented.

Ritual ? I didn't hear a ritual like these anywhere?
Veer asked.

I said chup.

Alright, call the bride!
Veer asked.

Priest closed his fist and controlled his anger. Bride can come and sit. Priest called out.

I go and bring here, veer said.i, he was about to stand, but priest stopped him. No, you shouldn't get up after you sat. I go and bring her
Priest got up and went near Anika.

Please… Please...leave me...Anika hiccuped joining her hands in front of the priest. Priest sat on a knee and buttoned her opened blouse.

Anika don't be so adamant, listen to his words. There will be a limit for my patience, veer said loudly making Anika shiver in fear.
Priest adjusted anika's dress and made her sit beside veer.

Precap- someone have going to be burn alove
Guess the person!
