1 month later

Tomorrow is the day of my wedding, I am super nervous right now.

This whole month has been an emotional roller coaster for me. Especially during the pre-wedding ceremonies.

I took 3 weeks leave from college.

Mom was always there for me. She with her friends and some of their relatives did my Haldi and Mehendi.

* Her mehndi.

Some of the relatives were giving me weird looks. I can clearly tell they are judging me. They were also throwing some taunts here there.

Like " she must be unlucky, that's why her parents abandoned her right after she was born" someone even said, " Indra you can get a much better daughter-in-law, then why her".

Mom gave them a rude reply but still, they kept talking. She hugged me and said, " Ignore them beta, they are always like this".

I said, " okay mom". I gave her a small smile.

I am trying my best but still, their words are hurting me.

Right now, I am packing my bags for shifting. My furniture and other things are going to moved to their another house. Mom said that I can sell them in future or decide what to do.

This place has been my home for more than 2 years now. I am going to miss my home.

I kept crying the whole time.

About Arjun, we met only twice the whole month, that too during the wedding shopping. We barely talked.

I wanted to text him, but I have no courage to do that.

Tomorrow by this time, I will be a married woman.

I am currently in Arjun's house, in one of their guest bedrooms. The makeup and hairstylist are doing their job. After their work is done, I changed into my lehenga.

My bridal lehenga is so pretty. It is in red colour with golden zari works. Mom gifted me the lehenga and the jewellery too. I tried saying no but she said that it's her duty to buy everything for her daughter.

* Her wedding attire.

The wedding is also happening at Arjun's house. In their lavish garden.

Mom and dad came to take me to the mandap. They gave me their blessings. I can see their genuine happiness for me in their eyes.

Mom wiping her tears said, " you look like a princess Diya, we are blessed to have you as our daughter-in-law and I thank God for making us meet that day".

" It's me who is blessed to have both of you mom and dad". I said teary-eyed.

Dad added, " Beta also remember if Arjun didn't treat you well or he says or does anything to hurt you. You should come straight to us. Okay. We will deal with him".

He said that with a serious face. Mom too nodded at what dad said.

I laughed a little and said " Sure dad".

They then took me to the stage. There are quite a few people in the garden. Mom said that only very close friends and family were invited.

The media got to know that Arjun Shekhawat is getting married. But they know nothing about the bride. I am thankful because I honestly don't want to deal with all those things.

I also learned that Arjun is a very private person.

There are also security guards all around the house.

All the way I kept looking at my feet, reaching the stage I saw Arjun already sitting there.

Damn, this guy looks good in everything.

Off...

Is it real, is he really going to be my husband?

I sat near him. The Pandit started saying mantras. We exchanged the garlands. Completed the seven pheras by walking around the holy fire.

Then, Arjun applied the sindoor on my forehead. When our eyes locked he has this weird emotion on his eyes. I gave him a shy smile.

He tied the mangal sutra around my neck and officially made me his wife.

* her mangalsutra.

A drop of tear fell from my eyes.

From now I am Diya Arjun Shekhawat.

I now have a husband, mom and dad and also a surname.

.

.

We took the elders blessings. Everyone blessed and congratulated us.

Mom and were teary-eyed while blessing us. Mom said, " Finally my babies are married".

Nikhil Bhai too hugged both of us. I got to know that Nikhil Bhai is not only Arjun's best friend but he is like a brother to him. Mom and dad treat him as their son.

.

.

It's already past midnight. Everyone is super tired so they retired to their respective rooms.

Mom took me to Arjun's room " from now on this is now going to be yours and Arjun's room. Your luggage is already inside dear. If you need anything just call me. Ok Diya" mom said.

" I will mom". " U wait inside, Arjun will be here in some time".

Opening the door I enter his room.

Wow...

His room is huge. Every in their house screams luxury.

His room is not manly. I love the colour and interior of the room.

After taking in all the details of his room, I then moved to stand near the big window. It gives you a good view of their garden.

Nice...

Someone opened the door, I turned to see Arjun entering. He looks so tired and sleepy.

He threw his mobile on the bed. When he finally noticed me he sighed and rubbed his forehead and said " why are you still standing in your wedding dress, go change".

I asked for the restroom." The door right side to the tv wall is the walk-in closet and the left side is the washroom" saying this he went into the closet.

I took my Pjs and toiletries pouch from my trolley and went inside the washroom.

Wow...

Enough admiring Diya... Now change...

It took me 30 mins to change my dress, remove my makeup and hairstyle.

I also took a shower without wetting my hair. I was so sweaty. Wearing my Pjs, now I feel comfortable.

Going back into the bedroom, I saw Arjun lying on the bed in his black joggers and a white T-shirt.

My husband...

When he saw me he said, " I always sleep on the right so you take the left side. Also I cleared some space in the closet, you use that for your things".

I replied, " No problem, I will...."

He then turned to his side to sleep. I lied down on my side and placed the blanket near my neck.

I softly said " Good Night ". I thought he won't reply, but he surprised me by saying " Good Night ".

I then fell into a deep slumber...
