"Aww Jeeju loves you so much" Mehar looked at my Mehendi, adorning my hands.

It is believed that the darker the Mehendi colour deeper the husband loves his wife.

I smiled sadly looking at my Mehendi. The colour appeared as dark as burgundy but I know my to-be husband is never going to love me.

"Suhani let's go it's time for Haldi now" Mehar and Sehar both the twin sisters dragged me out of my room and made me sit on the stage set up.

"Anmol will be here in a few minutes till then arrange the other things on the plate" Mumma screamed at Dad who was arranging flowers on the Golden looking plate.

Anmol, My husband's brother was coming to deliver the "joothi Haldi" to my husband because that's the ritual.

I simply kept on sitting there dwelling over our past. what went wrong suddenly when everything was going so smoothly. Was everything always a lie and I was so stupid to think it was all true? What did he get doing all this?

"Meri Soni Kudi" Mumma caressed my hair applying Haldi on my cheeks. I smiled at her excited form. Dad joined her, he looked emotional but caressed my head giving me a charming smile. I held both of their hands. "I love you both" I kissed their hands, their eyes welled up and they embraced me.

Turn by turn everyone kept on applying the turmeric paste to me. Vaidehi too came with a poker face but I could easily see her watery eyes. I felt guilty for spoiling her always chirpy behaviour. I shouldn't have slapped her. "Vai...I " I tried to speak but she made it quick and ran to the other corner without glancing at me. I sighed dejectedly. I messed up real bad.

****

I went to Vaidehi's room to find her packing her stuff.

Is she so hurt that she is planning to leave the house?

My heart froze at the possibility. I should not have done that. Why was I so mad. It's all because of me.

I ran to her and engulfed her in a back hug "Vaidehi please don't leave the house because of me", my eyes started pouring like a waterfall.

She tried to wriggle out of my hug but I kept on clinging to her," Please don't leave me. if you go I will also come with you. You don't want me to get married to Veer right? Fine I won't marry him but please don't leave me " I sounded desperate but I didn't care. She is someone who has always been with me I won't ever let her go. At least not by fighting with her when she was doing nothing but being worried for me.

"I am sorry Vai...I am sorry. Please don't go like this"

"Suhani I am not going because you said or did something. I am just going because I want to. It's been so long since I am staying here just like that. Now that I have completed my education, I have a job I don't want to burden you anymore. I want to stay with my parents, " she said softly I would have missed hearing her if I did not stand so close to her.

"What about this family?" I asked sniffing.

"I will frequently come to meet everyone" she stated closing the zip of her suitcase.

" I know you are sad because of me, Vai but please don't go like this. I am very sorry to raise my hand to you "

"Relax Suhani. It was my fault anyway. I was poking my nose in your business unnecessarily." She whispered again and I was left helpless.

"Vai..."

"Suhani go to sleep. It's late and tomorrow is your wedding" she said unwrapping my hands from her.

"Stop calling me Suhani. Please vaidehi " I sat on the bed stubbornly.

"Suha..." She tried to say again when I cut her off, "That's right. Suha. You always call me Suha I can't take your silence Vaidehi. If you want to beat the shit out of me you gladly can but don't leave as this" tears streamed down my face, I kept looking at her pleading.

A minute of silence pass by and she sat beside me.

"Are you happy with the wedding?" She inquired.

"I don't know" I whispered and she shook her head.

" Marriage is not a game Suha. It is going to demand so many things from you both. Trust, compassion, love, care, loyalty so many things. And you both need to accept each other with all the flaws. And when you don't like him you are just putting unnecessary pressure on yourself to accept him " She looked at me with concern. She has always been the mature one between us. No matter how childish she becomes for her Dhokla but she is the wisest of all my friends.

I looked at her expectantly, I wanted her to ease this confusion of mine. She held my hand in hers, " I would have been the happiest if you were getting a husband who cared for you and loved you. But now when I know you still have something for him you know better what it is, I don't want you to marry someone else. I don't want you to regret that you hadn't given him a chance. We all were quite immature when it happened. Give him a chance. And if he still behaves like a jerk you know where to come I will break all his bones " she smiled at me.

I hugged her tightly. How did I get so lucky to get her?

****

My reflection was staring back at me all dolled up in a pink lehenga which had golden work on it.

My heart was racing and my mind was in constant thoughts. Is my decision right? Did I do a mistake by saying yes to this marriage?

My brain was tempting me to just run away leaving all this behind. My heart kept telling me to marry him. Beeji will be so upset if I run away saying yes to this. Whenever she asked was I happy in this marriage I kept telling her that yes I am happy. Now I can't just go like this.

"Hayee ..meri putter kinni sohni lag rhi h " Beeji awwed at me entering my room.

"I was dreaming of this for so long" she came to me and warded off the evil from me.

She hugged me being all emotional. And that was the exact moment I was sure I am going to marry Veer.

"I am so glad to see you happy" I hugged her back equally warmly.

"You grew up so fast" she complained pulling my nose. I chuckled at her, she was the one dreaming about my marriage and now she says I grew up so fast.

"Let's go Simmi they are calling us" I dragged her with me. I knew if she stayed there a minute more she would end up crying and I didn't want to see her crying.

" hmm, I know all your tricks. You just want to see your Handsome Veer. Isn't? Who will look at this old woman When they got a dashing of a handsome for themselves" She sighed dramatically and I pulled her cheeks.

" Come Now my Drama Queen"

She giggled before moving out of the room.

And my heart again jumped to my mouth as soon as I caught the glimpse of so many people. Their head toward us as the more number of girls in our family stood beside me. All the attention was making me hell nervous. Amidst so many people my eyes caught a glimpse of him, He was already staring at me with an unknown emotion in his eyes. I felt my heart will pop out of my chest.

I am ready to give him a second chance? Does he deserve it?
