A day passed in a blink and Chaitra’s family arrived at the venue where the wedding was planned. They were welcomed by the groom’s family and Chaitra was taken to the bride’s room accompanied by Malini. Chaitra’s father placed the trolley that had all the costumes and other things for Chaitra. It was already late evening and dinner was served to Chaitra and Malini in the room.
Malini: Aadhi must be giving a tough time to Rishi bro for not letting her to stay the night.
Chaitra: His fear is justifyable, especially after her kidnap and now that she is pregnant.
Malini: But she will be here early in the morning or she might wake up us in the middle of the night. She wouldn’t able to sleep.
Chaitra smiled knowing Aadhi would sure pull some stunt like that. She opened her trolley and placed the jewels and costumes in the wardrobe and got changed into a night wear. Chaitra and Malini laid on the bed and Malini frowned and proped on her elbow looking at Chaitra.
Malini: Chaitu, I came home in the afternoon and I never left your side other than the time I had to use the washroom. All these while I never saw you talking to your soon to be husband. What is happening ?
Chaitra: He seemed to be busy in the wedding preparations so we couldn’t talk for the past 2 days but he sent me good morning and good night messages as usual.
Malini: Or is he having wedding jitters ? I didn’t see him around in the wedding hall. Do you want me to go check on him ?
Chaitra: No, lets sleep. Didn’t you say Aadhi might arrive anytime so lets rest well and join her to gossip.
Malini: Yeah, you know Chaitu, I read a novel and girl believe me, the life of the female lead after her sudden marriage was so intense. My god, the sexual tension was so thick and I had to fan myself from sweating.
Chaitra: You do everything other than getting married.
Malini: Let me see your life after marriage and may be I will decide after that.
Chaitra: You will never change Malu, now shut up.
At Rishi’s home Aadhi sat in the balcony and Rishi stood before her pleading her to return to bed but she refused to listen his words.
Rishi: Aadhu, you will feel exhausted staying awake all night and I m definitely not ready to leave you alone. So please baby.. lets sleep and what if you fall asleep late and get ready late for the wedding too ?
Aadhi: You are sadist, I hate you
Rishi: Yeah Aadhu, I love you.. come on baby..
He carried her in bridal style to the bed room and laid her carefully before he cuddled her and kissed her forehead. Rishi couldn’t cuddle her since her bump started showing up so Aadhi turned facing the other side and Rishi placed his palm over her baby bump caressing it gently. They gasped together feeling the first kick and before Aadhi could get up startled Rishi stopped her and slowly they once again felt the baby kicking.
Aadhi: See, baby couldn’t sleep because you locked us here in home.
Rishi: No, baby is happy that you listened to my words and its a hifi from our baby.
Rishi cajoled her and they slept soon to wake up early in the morning.
Vimal was in his room setting his hair standing before the mirror. He was shirtless and raked his fingers through his hair. A pair of hands hugged him from behind and he immediately pulled the person to his front. His wife stood wearing a thin strap sexy lingerie and he pressed his lips on the mole on her shoulder blade and sucked on it earning a moan from her.
Vimal: I love this mole on your shoulder but I love more the one that is on my favourite spot.
He pushed the strap and was about to kiss her chest but his mobile started ringing. He shut his eyes with a groan cursing the caller for disturbing his moment. He opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling. He stayed without any movement for a while and later slowly turned to his sides to see that he was on the bed and it was another dream. He exhaled visibly and rubbed his face with his palms in frustration.
Vimal: I’m not the type of man to find peace between the legs of a woman but if you keep tormenting like this then I will force myself to sleep with not just one but as many woman to stop you from ruining my peace. One more dream… just one more dream and I will find someone to fuck until I erase all the dreams from my mind.
He gulped a tablet to sleep and laid on his stomach hugging a pillow to cuddle.
Malini and Chaitra woke up early in the morning and got bathed to get ready for the wedding. They heard a knock on the door and Malini cocked her brows at Chaitra who was also smiling. Malini opened the door and Aadhi entered inside screaming for a hug. They hugged together and heard Rishi clear his throat.
Rishi: I will leave now and return with Vimal later until then be careful and you will not leave this room until I m back to take you out.
Aadhi: How about you cuff me to the bed and I will not leave for sure ?
Malini and Chaitra coughed hearing her words and Rishi winked her and mumbled he will do that at home before he walked away. Aadhi closed the door and saw her friends giving her a teasing smile.
Malini: So madam does love being cuffed is it ?
Aadhi: Shut up and lets get ready. Chaitu has to look the best today.
Just then the beautician entered the room and Aadhi and Malini helped her with all the accessories to get Chaitra ready for the wedding. In the meanwhile Malini and Aadhi too got ready on their own and only sought a minimum help from the beautician.
Malini was dressed in a blue silk saree while Aadhi was dressed in pastel green silk saree. Chaitra looked sinfully beautiful in the dark maroon silk saree with golden zari border, she was adorned with jewels and her hair was braided and adorned with jasmine flowers. Her mother Rani entered the room and hugged Chaitra with tears in her eyes.
Rani: You look so beautiful Chaitu and I will miss you a lot.
Chaira: Mom, I will come to you anytime you wanted to see me. Nothing will change that you will always be my first priority.
Rani: Usual dialogues of all girls before marriage but reality is they will forget everyone after marriage. Honestly I will be happy Chaitu to see you busy in your life building your family.
All the girls chuckled to her words and Aadhi excused and walked out calling Rishi. He cut the call and Aadhi saw Rishi and Vimal walking towards her. She hugged both of them and Vimal a little longer. Tears brimmed in her eyes but she quickly wiped it off and smiled at him. Together they entered the room and met Chaitra who was ready. Vimal picked the gift he bought for her and gave it to her.
Vimal: A small gift from me for your new begining.
Chaitra thanked him and placed it in her trolley and Rishi side hugged her giving her brotherly comfort.
Vimal: We will be seated with mom and dad, you stay with Chaitra and join us once the wedding is over.
Aadhi hummed and watched Rishi and Vimal leave the room. She turned around and saw Chaitra huffing and pressing her saree. Tension was evitable on her face and Aadhi hugged her.
Aadhi: You ready Chaitu ?
Chaitu: Yeah, I think so, may be wedding jitters that my life will change from now on.
Chaitra Mv: How will I get rid of his memories that I have cherished for 6 long years ? God please give me all the patience and courage in the world to move on.
Aadhi pulled back from the hug and Chaitra smiled at her hiding her emotions. Rani entered the room to call Chaitra and the girls followed close behind her. She was made to sit beside the groom and soon the priest started chanting the mantras. Chaitra tried herself but failed in all her attempts and searched for Vimal to look at him one last time. He was seated directly opposite to her in the first row making it easy and hard at the same time.
She felt like a magic when their eyes and he smiled at her instantly which she did too and averted her eyes immediately which didn’t fail from the eyes of Aadhi. Her palms started sweating with every passing minute that Chaitra will lose her first love forever and her brother would never get to know the love she had for him.
Suddenly the groom’s father stopped the priest from chanting the mantras and glared at Chaitra’s father Prabhakaran. Everyone was shocked to see the changing atmosphere. Rishi dragged Vimal to the stage to support Chaitra’s family.
Prabhakaran: Why did you stop the priest from chanting the mantras ?
Groom’s father: Look at these photos and tell me what should I do ?
Groom’s father passed his mobile and everyone were shocked to see the photos of Vimal and Chaitra from the restaurant and from the haldi day when he saved her from falling down but that looked so intimate for any normal person who doesn’t know the truth.
Aadhi took the mobile from Prabhakar and showed it to Rishi and Vimal and by now Hari and Kavitha too saw all the photos.
Vimal: Excuse me sir, someone is trying to frame us. Chaitra and my sister are friends from school and I know her for years. And on the day of her haldi I was just saving her from falling down. Please don’t get influenced with all these and let the wedding resume. Guest are looking and it would be embarrassing for everyone to discuss such matter. Trust me there is nothing between us and your son is very lucky to have her as his wife.
Groom’s mother: All our relatives have started speaking and it would be shame forever.
Prabhakar: My daughter is not a shame, she is my pride.
Vimal: I will leave this place if that will fix the problem but please let the wedding happen.
Before anyone could speak the groom rose to his feet removing the garland shocking everyone.
Groom: I know the truth and I would have trusted if she had informed me about you saving her.
Vimal: What truth are you talking about ? I said there is nothing between us. I was married and got divorced just few months back.
Groom’s father: May be your wife knew about you two and that is the reason you got divorced. I don’t want my son to suffer in his life. Its better for both of them to stop right here.
Groom’s family walked away and Chaitra was still seated unable to believe the things that just happened.
Rani burst into tears crying for her daughter’s life and Vimal stood froze, in utter shock to see Chaitra in such a state. Never in his dreams he thought her life would be spoiled because of him.
Rishi: You all might think that I m being irrational but its only my opinion and definitely you all will decide if it should happen. Why should Chaitra suffer just because the groom walked out being a coward ? And I think Vimal could marry Chaitra right here and end all these dramas. I don’t have to say about Vimal, he is a gentleman and knows to respect woman. He will treasure and cherish Chaitra.
Prabhakar: What are you even saying ?
Rishi: Chaitra calls me bro and I really consider as my sister. I will never have a second thought to marry my sister to a man like Vimal.
Vimal: Rishi, man please stop this.. she is young and ..
Hari: Rishi is right Vimal, think about Chaitra, the society will never stop tormenting her and do you think its easy to get a girl married after she is left at the altar ?
Chaitra: I m not getting married. Mom, dad pack up and lets leave. I will happily be your daughter forever.
She walked away followed by Malini and Aadhi to the bride’s room. At the stage Hari and Kavitha spoke to Rani and Prabhakar but never forced them. Rishi pulled Vimal to a corner and held his shoulders.
Rishi: Vimal, think practically, what uncle said was true. The moment she walks out people will start torturing her with venemous words. She is strong and will face them but does she deserve that life ?
Vimal: Rishi, you know me, I m not yet over my own pity and how do you expect me to bring her into my world.
Rishi: Vimal, I m not forcing you but just think if she would ever get married after what happened today ?
They saw Rani and Prabhakar approaching them and Vimal gulped looking at their tears.
Rani: Vimal, will you marry my daughter ? May be she was your destiny and that is why you saved her that day and once again she is in your hands to be saved.
Rani was about to fold her hands but Vimal stopped her and hummed ok as tears rolled down her cheeks.
