I didn't want to look at him. It was very strange. this is the first time we were meeting and that too on our wedding night. I really wa...
I am literally feeling nothing for him .
No nervousness
No anxiety
No shyness
No butterflies
Nothing
I mean he is the man I am going to spend my whole life with. I should be excited but I am not.
There was just awkwardness.
that's how a wedding night supposed to be?
that's what people talk about wedding night?
that's how a relationship based on marriage starts?
if not then why is it happening with me only?
He took steps towards the bed and sat in front of me. I looked at him slowly I saw him already looking at me. this made me go my eyes go down.
isn't he going to initiate any conversation or he is going to stare at me all the night?
"I know no this isn't something should have happened. we are meeting for the first time and that too on a wedding night. I am sorry to cause this inconvenience to you." he said sincerely. His words calm and soothing his voice actually gave me confidence to look at him. I looked at him he was smiling very lightly." I know you must be not comfortable with me tonight and you might take time to adjust with me and for a fair chance I must give you some time to know me." he continued saying. this isn't as bad as I thought .
actually it is good.
he is good.
I didn't expect him to be this much understanding. I was listening to him and then I yawned my yawning made both of us chuckle a little.
"You are tired you should take rest."he stood up."are you going somewhere ?"I asked."yes, actually I have some work to do"he said. I didn't understand what could he possibly be doing on his wedding night. it's not like I want him to stay there but still who works on their wedding night but I didn't argue. I was already so much tired I didn't have energy to do anything even to speak. this is why I thought of a very good idea which is sleeping. he left the room I changed into my night wear and slept peacefully.
My alarm at 4 rang. I got out of my bed did my morning business and then I practiced my yoga and breathing exercises. I took shower and got ready for the very first day in my in laws house.
Everyone seemed to be very happy. we did other rituals. everyone praised the food I made. everything seems to be casual and normal. I could see smiling faces around me specially my parents. they were very happy and seeing them happy made me happier. This is what I wanted since always everyone to be happy.
It has been one week since I got married. everything was good my in laws were treating me, very well. even Sameer was keeping me very fairly. he has assured me that my studies won't get affected. he has given me time so that we can understand each other while before consumating our marriage.
I was working in kitchen and I got a notification on my phone. I checked that was an email from my college regarding my attendance and then I realise that it has been more than two weeks since last I attended college .now this is something which is to concerned about.
I kept the tray of the on the table of hall where my in laws and my husband was sitting. they all were having their regular chit chat. I was waiting for a moment where I can ask them." aunty actually it has been so many days since I last attended the college. I have got an email from them to attend my classes as soon as possible. if attendance will go down, they won't allow me to sit in the exam." I said very politely .she took a sip of the tea and nodded her head. she was listening to me but she wasn't even speaking anything nor replying me. I waited few seconds to say her something but then I realise that I only have to ask her directly. "Aunty, I just wanted to ask from when can I resume my college?" I asked her impatiently. my father in law was reading newspaper and wasn't paying any attention to the conversation we were having as if we were not even talking. my husband was curiously looking at me and mum back and forth." Aarti beta, I understand that you want to study further but why ?I mean our son is doing well and we promise you that you won't have any kind of problem in our home. then what is the point of you continuing your studies." I was shocked to listen that because I had been assured about my studies.
I looked at Sameer with some hope. he blinked his eyes for me in reassurance "mom, what is the harm if she continue to go to the college?" he said to his mother."beta, all what I'm saying is that she is a married woman now. she should pay attention to the household things. it isn't like that she is going to do job after completing her studies. eventually she has to take care of this house and you. so why doesn't she give her full attention here." She said in an annoying way. it was purely evident that she doesn't want me to continue my studies. does she really think that studies is important only when you want to do job? "Mom, just let it be if she wants to.let her" he said trying to convince her. she nodded her head negatively" ok .you guys are adult enough to understand good or bad. if you didn't it mean to follow what I want then what was the need of asking me? you should have given permission to your wife to go college. she could directly go there. what was the need of asking me here if you have already made up your mind ?"she said harshly and left the hall. I was tensed now.
how these things are going to be ?
I looked that Sameer. he signalled me to stay calm. then I looked that my father in law ,he was still busy in the newspaper. he didn't utter even a single word. I was surprised to see this because he was the one who was assuring me about my studies the day when he came to my house for the marriage proposal and today he is sitting quiet in front of his wife. God! what is going to happen with me now?
We reached out of the college. "don't worry about mum. I'll handle her.just pay your attention to your studies and try to fulfill your responsibilities in home. just make sure that mum doesn't get any chance to accuse you. ok ?"I just nodded. I left the car and got into the campus. I was wearing saree that's was quite embarrassing because everyone around me have always seen me in different clothes and now my in-laws have not allowed me to wear those clothes .I have to do everything in saree .well! I am grateful to them for allowing me to go college this is why I have to accept the things are going.
I get into the class and sat on my desk, opened book .I was waiting for the teacher to come in but as always Preeti was there beside me." oh, so? " she asked with a wink on her face. I couldn't understand. what she was asking about ."what?" I asked her. "How was the wedding night ?"she whispered in my ears .I kept my palm on her mouth."what are you talking about?" I looked down."oh come on! don't be a lovely dovey ,shy bride now. so just give me all the details" she asked very curiously. I smiled at her." what happened? why are you smiling.I am not going to spare you like this. you have to tell me everything." I laughed ."nothing happened, baby. actually this is something better than I expected. he gave me some time to know each other before consuming our marriage."her mouth gets open."what ?what ....really? he has done this .seems to be a nice guy!" I smiled "yes, he is actually .he is very nice .he supports me he even stood against her mother's will for me . he is showing interest in my academic. he is giving me all the space that I need to adjust in his home and in his life .so yes it's better what I expected "she just smile at my words she hugged me from side."I am so happy for you" she said kissing my left cheek .we saw our professor coming in the class and the whole class got engaged in studies.
