After our short, sorry very short conversation; we both continued doing the rituals asked by the priest. But can a wedding be successful without some drama, no right.

The problem started when the smoke of the holy fire start coming towards my direction. Which made it difficult to breathe for me as I already have heart problems. Due to my weak heart I have some breathing issues as my chest starts to pain.

Anyways this shortening of breath is not new for me, so I just endured it and also I don't want anyone to worry about me and spoil their happy moments. Specially my family they will directly take me to the hospital for a complete check up.

The wedding continued and soon the priest asked us to get up for the seven rounds of the sacred fire. It was my escape route but I was not able to stand. One because of this heavy lehanga and jewellery and second because of the low oxygen level in my body.

Abhi forwarded his hand to me and I stood up with its support. After that we took seven rounds, holding each other's hands, promising our seven lifetimes, sincerity and love for each other. Everyone present here threw flower petals at us until the rounds completed.

We sat back down and the priest gave the mangalsutra to Abhi and he made me wear it. His hands on my bare neck made goosebumps rise on my body.

Even after tieing it he didn't remove his hands rather caressed the area. His hands were warm whereas mine might have reached the freezing point.

After that he puts the vermillion on my hair partition with his fingers and some of which even fell on my nose. When he was removing the fallen vermillion from my nose our eyes connected and he gave me his charming smile to which I smiled back at him.

The priest completed the mantra and announced us as a lawfully wedded couple. Then he asked us to take our elders blessings.

We both stood up and yes I was helped by Abhiman again. By now my legs were numb and wobbly. Thank god their is not too much dizzy feeling.

We went to grandpa Raj and touched his feet to take his blessings. Then we went to my parents and Abhi's parents to take their blessings. Some other elders from our distant relatives also gave their blessing to us.

Then bhabhi took us to the food table where we sat and thanked the guests who came to congratulate us. We both didn't get anytime to talk to each other except for a few short sentences.

Soon bhabhi came to me and gave me the medication for my heart, I guess bhai must have seen my apparent symptoms so he asked her to give it to me.

"Make sure you take them after having the food okay" bhabhi said sternly, kissing my forehead and going back for further preparations.

"What are these for?" Abhi asked, I completely forgot about him

"Ugh..... These are to reduce heart palpitations" I said awkwardly shifting around but still told the truth

"Why? Are you not feeling comfortable" he asked concern was clear in his voice.

"No, just had a bit trouble in breathing due to the smoke" I said smiling softly to reassure him

"Why didn't you told me about it at that time. We have already discussed about this before, anything like this happen you will tell me immediately. Then why" he said while tightly frowning

"I didn't wanted to destroy everyone's happiness because of me. Don't think too much I'm absolutely fine" I said placing my hand in his and slightly squeezing them.

"Okay, but I am asking them to get the food ready so that you can take the medicine" he said while standing up but I quickly grabbed his hand.

He looked down at me with raised eyebrows "food must already be served as bhai would have prepared for it by now. Just wait a little, it will be coming soon" I said making him sit back.

"Hm.... But don't try to act like this again. I know you are still feeling dizzy and your palm is so cold" saying this he took my palm in his hand and started rubbing them so that they get warm soon.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I know I'm quite hard to look after" I softly said as I remembered the time I have spent in the hospital bed to get the treatments and the number of operations I had to cure my weak heart.

"It's nothing like that and your not a burden for me. I know I am ignorant and cold, everyone think I don't understand about the problems they face, but it's nothing like that" he lightly pressed a kiss on my palm and said

"I want to change, I want to live a life where not everyone around me is to gain something in return. You're different maybe because your heart is different, but I like it the most about you." We were silently staring at each other as I nodded my head, but our moment was broken by our friends.

They all settled themselves on the table and gave both of us our food and we all ate with Abhi and me feeding each other in between as per our friends orders and then comes their teasing and mimicry.

We all were talking about different things and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

After food, under Abhi's observing eyes I took the pills and swallowed them with water. Then he gave me a chocolate to improve my taste. I don't know from where he got it.

I smiled at him and kissed his right cheek in appreciation. We both are married now and how will our married life turn out to be only god can be it's judge. Let's hope for the best.
