*Sakshi pov*

I can't do this right now and i am too tired so before he could say anything I said "I am tired Rakesh and I can't do the talking right now. We will talk tomorrow ok. I just want to sleep."

"No we need to talk right now. I need to say something to you." He said to me.

"Whatever it is, it can wait for tomorrow. Please let me sleep I am in need of that." I pleaded with him.

"If we don't talk now then I will not talk to you." He told me seriously.

What are we five? Maybe he is just joking, Ya that would be it. "I am going to sleep good night." I told him and retrieved my hand and let sleep consume me.

When I woke up the next day, Rakesh was still sleeping so I left him and freshen up. When I was about to leave the room he woke up.

"Good morning." I wished him.

But he didn't replied like I didn't said anything. Oh may be he is taking yesterday thing seriously. He will be cooled down eventually so I left him and went down to help mom.

While we are eating breakfast we were discussing about the preparations for following rituals and I have to ask Rakesh about few matters but whenever I start to say something he would eventually start talking to anyone present except me.

So I asked mom to ask him which she did and settled everything. I don't know for how many days he will react but it will be hell for sure.

Whenever I try to talk to him he just behaves as if I didn't say anything. 

I couldn't take it anymore if he wants to talk, we will talk.

So in the evening when he returned from office I asked him "You said we need to talk right, let's do it."

But he didn't said anything so I continued "Come on Rakesh, Don't be like that. I was really tired yesterday. Now you can say what do you want to and I will listen."

Again nothing "Please......"

That's it I can't do it anymore if he don't want to talk then who am I to object then.

"Ok carry on. I will also help you to not talk to me." I told him and left the room.

That day we didn't even say 'good night' to each other.

This continued which I may tell you successfully continued for a week without knowing by anyone in the house. But they got suspicious.

Now after that the whole next week we got the "Talks" for me from mom and for him from his father. But as we are too stubborn to get down we didn't did the talk.

But we gave each other occasional glances. This didn't have impact on the preparations and they continued smoothly.

The third week was massive shock for both of us because the person who did the "talk" to us is Raghu. We both were shock; You could say that by looking at our eyes.

Raghu's Talk can be described in one word 'Stupid', He doesn't know what is he even talking so I did the perfect thing, listened him through one ear and thrown out that from another ear.

After that we both breathed in relief, I so wanted to talk to him but what is my mistake that I wanted to sleep because of tiredness but not talk to him. So I didn't..

In one week Raghu's marriage would be held with Monika the bride. As she doesn't have many relatives she started to spend time with me and my friends.

She is good person and is in deep for Raghu. Raghu is also by the way he looks at her whenever they meet. 

I am in top at jealousy feeling people's list. I want that love may be someday it will happen.

The day of sangeet we all danced as much as we can surprisingly during the whole ritual Rakesh kept on glancing my way. Of course I too did the same because we need to dance together now for the song.

When it is the time for the dance, we both slowly reached. If I thought the practicing was awkward then this is too much.

But I composed myself from my heart beating rapidly and danced with him. Which became hit as everyone cheered when it was complete.

Next mehandi, we all enjoyed it alot mainly of course Monika.

Finally the day of wedding arrived, and each and every one of us tried our best with the preparations enjoying ourselves.

I wore the light pink and peach combined sari which was beautiful. Mom gave me as gift to wear in this wedding.

After I got ready I was about to head out of our room suddenly Rakesh entered and saw me. He looked at me with an unreadable expression.

I thought he would compliment at least a little as we were standing there for quiet few minutes but he didn't and went towards washroom passing me.

This past month was the worst month in my life, it was hurting to not to talk to each other. And now he didn't even say something or anything.

With a heavy heart I left the room, everyone started saying who ever talked to me that I am looking good. But I want those words from my husband's mouth and nobody else.

We all reached the wedding venue and Rakesh immediately went some other way when we reached there. Why is he being so difficult?

Seeing that my mood has fallen my friends dragged me from the people to Monika's allotted room and made me sit down on a chair.

"I will ask you straight what happened between you guys." Trisha asked giving me a look that she will not let me escape from this situation.

I sighed and told them everything silently and they listened silently. 

After that Lalitha scolded and said "Seriously Sakshi, You both guys are behaving like some play class kids."

"Let me add stubborn kids." Trisha said.

"I am not in fault he was the one that decided to not to talk to me." I defended myself.

"Ya and you decided to help him. What are you guys, are you both stupid? We know you guys didn't get married in normal circumstances but even blind can tell the chemistry between you guys." Trisha said in serious tone.

With that I burst out laughing but when I saw that they are serious and not joking I controlled myself and said "Seriously trisha, we don't have it ok."

"That's called fooling yourselves and do you remember you guys danced together, each every one of us were mesmerized do you know that." Trisha said.

I was shocked, was it really.

"So stop being Stubborn and finish this stupid non-violence quarrel between you guys after wedding ok." Lalitha said to me.

I just nodded and with that we all left the room with Monika as it was time for the wedding.

The wedding was huge and I watched everything in detail as I don't remember my wedding day.

From my Conner of eye I can see that Rakesh kept looking at me.

After the wedding is over, we all started ready to leave. But I didn't escape the pointed looks sent by Trisha and Lalitha.

When we reached home, there were some more rituals which were conducted after all were over. I and mom took Monika to her room and arranged her properly in the middle of the bed for her wedding night.

Mom left us for few minutes, When she was out of sight I told her all the best and was about to leave but she suddenly said "All the best for you too."

I looked at her in confusion, then she said "I listened to your conversation with your friends completely and I think they are right but I thought you will not like if I give my opinion so I said nothing."

I shook my head and said "You can say anything if you want. We are going to live together in the same house and you are already my friend right so you can."

She smiled and nodded I was about to leave but I turned and said "Thank you I certainly needed that wish."

With that I went towards our room, Rakesh was already there turned towards the windows.

Here goes nothing... So I started saying "Rakesh..."

But I couldn't complete it as he turned and said "I can't do this anymore." In irritated voice.

What is he talking about; I am not getting anything in my mind about what is he talking.

But seeing his complete irritated face I can think of only thing he is saying so I said the question out loud which raised in my mind "Do you want to divorce me?" I said each word with pain.

He looked at me as I was some crazy and said one word "What???"
