SHIVNYA`S POV
Finally, the wedding happened despite all the chaos I caused. I felt deeply ashamed and guilty for my actions, but Abhimanyu never let go of my hand, not even for a minute. He stayed by my side, ensuring I wouldn't feel uncomfortable or alone. He behaved like a perfect gentleman, while I seemed to screw everything up.
We took blessings from his family, but I couldn't meet their eyes. I felt too ashamed of myself. Nevertheless, it happened, and Abhimanyu handled everything. Then, it was time for my vidai.
I went to my siblings and hugged them tightly. My uncle and aunt came near, caressing my head. We were all emotional. I approached my brother, who stood in a corner, trying to control his emotions, and hugged him tightly. It was our last hug. I loved my brother dearly; he always tried to protect me. But I knew I had to let go to avoid complicating his life further.
"Bhai, I will miss you," I said between hiccups, hugging him tighter.
"I will miss you too, my princess," he replied emotionally, hugging me back. Sanj, Aayansh, and Divit joined the hug, showing the bond we shared.
I pulled back and said, "Bhai, promise me you will take care of these monkeys. Don't let them feel my absence. Promise me you won't let anyone harm them."
He looked confused but then sighed, smiling, "Okay, promise."
We hugged again, and Divit, with a mischievous smile, said, "Diii, we won't miss you."
Everyone was shocked. "We will get scolded by you in the office every day, and Aarav bhai will join the board meetings. Sanj will miss you more," he teased, making everyone laugh, but deep down, I knew none of this would happen. Sanj hugged me tightly, saying, "Diii, I will miss you a lot."
I tried to reassure her, but Mrs. Madhu interrupted, "Chalo, chalo, let your sister go; she's getting late."
As I started to walk, Kamini Chachi and Chachu came near me and said, "Beta, take care of yourself. Remember, we are always here for you."
Abhimanyu reassured them, " Uncle , I am there for her to take care . Don't worry."
I left with Abhimanyu's family.
AUTHOR`S POV
Both of them sat in the back seat of their car as the driver drove. Abhimanyu clicked a button, raising a partition. Shivnya looked at it and then at Abhimanyu.
"Are you okay?" Abhimanyu asked, but Shivnya didn't reply and looked away. He handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. She dabbed her face and meekly said, "Thank you for supporting me."
Abhimanyu took her hands and said, "I vowed to support and protect you. It's my duty." Shivnya looked at him with tear-filled eyes. He wiped her tears and said, "No more crying. It's our special day, cherie. Relax and leave all your tensions to me."
Shivnya smiled slightly, appreciating how he was trying to support and calm her. After a while, they reached the haveli. The driver opened the gate for Abhimanyu, who then gestured for him not to open Shivnya's door.
He came around and opened the door for her, offering his hand. She took his support and stepped out. They moved toward the entrance, where the Rathore family awaited the new bride's arrival.
Her mother-in-law performed the aarti and placed a kalash filled with rice for Shivnya to kick. Following instructions, Shivnya did so. Next, her mother-in-law brought two plates, one with vermillion water and the other with a haldi paste. She instructed Shivnya to dip her hands in the haldi and leave prints on the main wall of the house, then dip her feet in the vermillion water and leave footprints on a cloth.
As Shivnya struggled with her heavy lehenga, Abhimanyu lifted it slightly, making it easier for her to walk and leave the footprints. After the grahpravesh, Ridhimaa came with a sword, placing it on Shivnya's shoulders.
Shivnya wasn't panicked; she knew it was a ritual. Ridhimaa explained, "This sword is given to the new queen for her protection. Its weight symbolizes not only its power but also the responsibility that comes with it." Shivnya nodded, accepting the sword gracefully.
They proceeded to the mandir to take blessings. Ridhimaa asked them to place their swords in front of God and bow down. Afterward, they moved to the hall, where Ridhimaa made Shivnya sit on a black regal cushioned chair.
"I know you are tired, but we have one last ritual for today. We'll complete the rest tomorrow," Ridhimaa said with a soft smile. Shivnya smiled back.
One by one, everyone came to her. First, Dadaji took out a bundle of notes, removed the evil eye from her, and handed the notes to a butler.
"Aapka humare khandan mein hardik swagat hai, Rani Sa. Bhagwan kare aap hamesha khush rahein aur humare gharane ko wahi maan aur sammaan se aage badaye jo humesha se milta aaya hai. Aapke aur humare Abhimanyu ke saath, yeh gharana naye aayam chhooe. Aapke saath milkar humare parivaar ko ek pyaara sa raja ya aapki tarah ek sundar rani prapt ho, jo humare khandan ki shaan aur gaurav ko aur bhi unchaiyon tak le jaye. Aapke aane se hamare ghar ki roshni aur bhi badh gayi hai. Aap humare ghar ki Laxmi hai aapka firse ek baar sugaat hai '' he said, making Shivnya blush.
(A heartfelt welcome to you in our family, Your Highness. May God bless you with happiness always and may you continue to bring the same honor and respect to our lineage that we have always received. With you and our Abhimanyu, may this family reach new heights. Together, may we be blessed with a lovely prince or a beautiful princess like you, who will take the pride and glory of our family to even greater heights. Your presence has illuminated our home even more. You are the goddess of prosperity in our house, and once again, a warm welcome to you. )
Next, her father-in-law did the same, saying, "May you receive all the happiness and comforts. You are not just our daughter-in-law; you are our daughter, you are the goddess of our house, you are our Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Parvati. May you always be happy."
Darsh followed, adding, "Stay blessed and happy. We will always support you."
Finally, Abhimanyu came with a big bundle of notes, removed the evil eye from Shivnya, and said, "Aaj se aap sirf humare rajya ki rani nahi, balki humare dil ki bhi rani hain."
( From today, you are not just the queen of our kingdom, but also the queen of my heart )
"Hum aapse yeh wada karte hain:
'Aaj se aap ke saare dukh mere, aur mere saare sukh aapke honge.
( From today, all your sorrows will be mine, and all my happiness will be yours )
Aapke har dard par hum marham banenge.
( I will be the balm for every pain you suffer )
Aaj se humari zindagi mein pehle aap hongi, aur phir koi aur.
( From today, you will come first in my life, before anyone else )
Hum wada karte hain ki aapke har hukum ko hum poore aadar aur prem se maanenge.
( I promise to fulfill your every command with respect and love )
Aapke sath kiye gaye har vachan ko hum pure imandari aur nishtha se nibhayenge.
( I will keep every promise made to you with complete honesty and loyalty )
Aap humari zindagi ka har pal hain, aur hum aapke bina adhure hain. "
( You are every moment of my life, and without you, I am incomplete )
He gave that to another butler and after that, Tanmay and Yuvraj came and bowed down, touching her feet. Shivnya, surprised, pulled her feet back, but Ridhimaa said, "Beta, let them take your blessings."
( beta , let them take your blessings )
Confused, Shivnya looked at Abhimanyu, who nodded. She moved her feet forward.
"Bhabhi, we will always be your partners in crime. Don't worry about anything. We will make sure you have fun," Tanmay said with a grin.
"Bhabhi, we are not just your brothers-in-law; we are your brothers. We will stand by you and Bhai in every situation. We promise you won't be disappointed," Yuvraj added with a sense of responsibility.
Ridhimaa then said, "Beta, you both should rest now. We will continue the rituals tomorrow."
( beta, you both should rest now. We will continue the rituals tomorrow )
Shivnya looked around, wondering who would lead her to the room. Suddenly, Abhimanyu lifted her bridal style, shocking her. Embarrassed, she wrapped her arms around his neck as everyone watched. Abhimanyu carried her up the stairs.
"Hum chal sakte hain, aap humein neeche utaar dijiye," Shivnya whispered meekly.
( I can walk, please put me down )
Abhimanyu smiled, ignoring her request, and continued to their room. Suddenly, Tanmay and Yuvraj blocked the door, grinning. "Bhai, paise dijiye tabhi andar jaa sakte ho," they teased.
( bhai , give us money, only then you can enter )
Abhimanyu narrowed his eyes at them. "This is a job for the girls. When did you change your gender?"
Shivnya chuckled at his words, making Abhimanyu smile, but Divit whined, "Didi isn't here, so we are doing it. Please give us the money."
( didi isn't here, so we are doing it. Please give us the money )
Shivnya gestured to Abhimanyu to give the money and said, "De raha hoon, chup ho jao dono."
( I am giving it, now be quiet, both of you )
He handed his wallet to Shivnya, saying, "Give as much as you want."
Shivnya looked at him in disbelief, then at Tanmay and Yuvraj, whose eyes were shining. She emptied the wallet, giving them the money. They grinned, "Thank you so much, Bhabhi," and left.
Abhimanyu looked at Shivnya and said, "Kuch zyada hi nahi de diya aapne?"
( Didn't you give a little too much? )
"You told me to give as much as I wanted," she replied sarcastically.
Abhimanyu chuckled and asked her to open the door. She did, and they entered their room.
SHIVNYA`S POV
As we both entered the room, the room was decorated with white lilies and rose petals, his room looked like devils heaven, he guided me gently to his expansive king-sized bed. Our eyes locked, our faces just an inch apart, and for a fleeting moment, I thought he might close the gap. But he pulled back, breaking the spell, and said, "It's late. You should change into something more comfortable. I'll do the same. If you need anything, feel free to call me."
I nodded and tried to stand from the bed. He assisted me and led me to the bathroom. The room felt almost like a grand hall, dominated by a majestic, king-sized bed adorned in royal silver-gray tones. A small couch sat in front of it, and the room opened onto a large balcony with a stunning sea view. There was ample closet space, a luxurious black bathroom, and a cozy nook with a couch and table. A dressing table stood in front of the bed, and the entire room exuded a dark, regal ambiance.
SHIVNYA`S POV
We both went to the closet. Abhimanyu selected his clothes and left. I glanced at myself one last time in my bridal attire. I looked beautiful, but Abhimanyu hadn't even complimented me. Sighing, I began to remove the heavy jewelry and makeup, expending all my energy.
After that I started to open my hair but it was very exhausting so I thought to first change into some simple clothes so I attempted to unhook my blouse, but my hand couldn't reach due to the strain on my left arm. I tried several times, but it was no use. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?" I called out.
"Shivnya, are you okay?" he asked.
"Uhmm... actually," I began, but the door opened, and Abhimanyu stepped in.
"What happened, Shivnya?"
"Abhimanyu!" I shouted. He quickly turned away. "Sorry... I didn't mean to intrude..."
I covered myself with the pallu. "You can turn around now," I said. He turned back, concern etched on his face. "It's just the hook of my blouse is stuck."
He frowned. "Oh, should I call someone?"
His suggestion irritated me. "And what would you say? 'My wife's blouse hook is stuck, can you help?'"
"No!" he replied, almost shouting.
"Then help me with this," I said.
He approached me, standing beside me. I could see his reflection in the mirror. I nodded, but before he could help with the blouse, I asked, "Can you help me with my hair first? There are so many pins, and I'm too tired to take them out."
"Of course, Shivnya, I'll help," he said, starting to remove the pins from my hair. Slowly, I felt lighter as the pins came out.
" 36 " he said.
"Huh?" I was confused.
"In total, there were 36 pins in your hair."
I made an 'oh' face, and he smiled a bit. "Pass me the comb; I'll help you comb your hair."
I was taken aback by his offer. "I can do that."
"I know my wife can do everything, but you're tired. Let me help," he said, taking the comb. I almost leaned against his chest, feeling petite and small next to his strong, muscular frame. After a while, he set the comb down and gently draped my hair over my shoulder.
"Now, I'll open the blouse," he said. I held the front of my blouse, and with one smooth motion, he unhooked it. I was shocked momentarily but later murmured a thank you, and he left the room.
I removed the concealer from my body, changed into a comfortable cotton night suit, washed my face, and emerged from the closet. Abhimanyu wasn't on the bed, and a wave of panic washed over me. I looked to the other side of the room and found him sitting on the sofa, dressed in black pants and a loose black t-shirt.
I exhaled deeply. He looked at me and said, " You look exquisitely gorgeous in your bridal attire but you look more cute and heartbreaking when you are like this all natural " I shyed at his words, God can he listen to my mind??? I just complained in my mind that he didn't praised me and see him now, mainly mens like girls more in make up but he likes me in natural , MY HUSBAND likes me naturally.
He made room for me on the couch, and I sat down, he came closer to me and took my hands in his hands and said with a genuine face " I need to discuss something with you." I hummed at his words and he continued
"I don't remember what happened last night that led us to sleep together. I wasn't conscious, so I'm sorry for that." I laughed internally because I was one because of which we slept together
"See, you don't remember anything. You should know the whole story before coming to any conclusions," I replied calmly.
"Okay, we'll discuss it tomorrow, and if you're not comfortable sleeping together, we can sleep separately," he said.
I looked around the room. "So, where am I going to sleep? On this couch or the floor?"
"Shivnya, you're going to sleep on the bed," he said firmly.
"If I make you uncomfortable, I should sleep somewhere else, not you," I replied stoically.
"I didn't say you made me uncomfortable," he began, but I interrupted him.
"So, do you think either of us can sleep on the floor? And this couch is too small. Your bed is huge; we can share it," I said.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked.
I replied with a mischievous smile, "Why? Don't you have control over yourself?"
"I didn't mean it that way," he said, shocked, as we both stood up.
"Abhimanyu, let's sleep. I'm really tired," I said.
AUTHOR`S POV
Both of them headed towards the bed, but before laying down, Shivnya went to the closet and returned with a pouch containing five bottles of tablets and a glass of water. Abhimanyu noticed and asked, "Shivnya, are you okay?"
"These are my daily tablets," she said nonchalantly, closing the bottles.
"But for what?" he asked. She lied, "Just some multivitamins."
Abhimanyu came closer and said, "Shivnya, this is the first and last lie I want to hear from you. I won't ask anything except this: Never lie to me. If you don't want to answer something, say it to my face, but don't make excuses. Remember, I'm your husband. I'll always support you and be there for you. Trust me."
"Okay, actually, this one's for sleep. I can't sleep without it. The other four, it's not the right time to explain," she said, showing one bottle.
"Okay, but why can't you sleep?" he asked.
"It has its reasons. Now, please, let's sleep," she said, moving towards the bed. "Which side do you prefer?" he asked.
"Right," she said, taking the right side of the bed. He took his side without making a partition, as it didn't seem necessary. The lights were dim, and she fell asleep quickly.
