Chapter 13- Roka ceremony

Ishika Pov

Flashback continues

The unexpected hug caught me off guard but i compose myself & ask him,"Avy what happen?" He tighten his hold & mumble in my ear,"Ashi I don't want to go away from you".

I ask him in a calm voice,"who is sending you & where? His reply was shocking,"my dad is sending me to handle a deal in London & it will take 3 months to settle everything there and I don't want to be away from you for this long ".

After listening to him I breath a sigh of relief. I broke the hug & said, "Avy it's only a matter of six months duffer.

He gave me a annoying look & "said it's not only six months it's siiiiiiiixxx months!, & move to sit on bed.

I move & sit next to him. He place his head on my lap & make himself comfortable.

The silence is soothing we are friends from last four years & dating eachother from last 2 months. We don't even realise when our friendship turn into something more but I'm not even complaining coz i have loved him from the time I saw him I was barely sixteen & he was twenty those black stormy eyes, jet black hair falling on his forehead, clean shaven face I was mesmerized. we become friends coz our mom were friends from childhood. Than we use met at different gathering & festivals . He became good friend with shaurya bhai & the rest is history.

Avy are you sleeping," i question he told, "just relaxing'.

Than tell me when are u going?, he told me next month.

You mean to say next year? I ask to confirm he just humm". Coz next month is new year

"U can chat, we can video call each other as much as u want ok."

He slept like a baby whole night & next morning when I woke up he was still there and the only way to wake him up was to pour a jug of water on his face.............

Flashback end

"Kaise bhol Gaye aap yeh sab mein to abhi tak nhi bhuli", why even I'm thinking all this it will be much better if I sleep.

Today without pill i Wouldn't be able to sleep.

so i took a pill which i kept hidden in the wardrobe & soon sleep took over.

A soft touch on my check broke my slumber when I open my eyes i notice my mom is sitting on the bed & dad is sitting on one of the chairs i ask them what they are doing here early morning?

They told we are here to admire our daughter it feel like yesterday you are running all around the house with your running nose for a chocolate & now look at you going to get married with in few days", they start to laugh.

"Mom", dad just look what your wife is saying, dad said she is absolutely right.

I put on a show that I'm angry with them & tilt my face to other side & cover myself with a quilt

When I feel a moment on bed & suddenly mom & dad hug me tight from both sides making me a sandwich in Between.

After a few seconds they whisper, we love you, i answer i love you too guys and I'm sorry for yesterday.

Papa tilt my head up & ask, sorry for what beta?

My eyes becomes moist suddenly i replied for" yesterday", & burst into tears, my father lovingly caress my check & with love fill eyes said," you are our happiness beta we will always do what it takes to make you happy & i feel your happiness lies with Nikhil,my mom said I agree with your dad.

I told them if you guys are happy & think that he is a good for me then I'm ready for this relationship.

After talking for some time my parents left the room & I did my business & move out of the room.

Time flies & soon it was time to get ready for the roka ceremony.

Nikhil's family had already sent some dresses & jewellery for the roka ceremony, I opted for a off white saree with silver

work on it & dimond jewellery with green emerald stone.

I was doing a last minute touch up when bhai & Nisha bhaabi enter, I saw their reflection in the mirror

Nisha bend down close to my ear & whisper " bitch you are looking divine" i replied same too you!

bhai interrupted & said,"Mera bacha bohot pyaara lag raha hai i look at bhai trough the mirror & said you are looking handsome too Bhai".

Bhai told as to be quick & move out.

Nisha bhaabi set on the bed ask me, Ishi are you alright?

My emotions are over the edge,

I cannot answer coz I don't even know what's going on inside it feel like there is torment going on inside & it will erupt & going to destroy everything.

To avoid her question i told her to let's go we are getting late.

We reach temple with in 15 minutes it's closer to our house. It's peaceful over here but today I'm here for finding answer for all my unanswered questions "please kanhaji mujhe aaj mere zindagi ke saare jawab dede na".

When we reach inside the temple Nikhil & his family is already present communicating with pandit ji.

Joining my hand on front of kanha i said, please Krishna ji apni jogan ke liye kuch kare & I don't even realise when I started to sing........

Man Mohana Man mohana

Man Mohana Man mohana

Kanha sunona aaa

Tum bin paun kaise chaina

Tarsu Tumhiko din raina...

Chodke apne kashi mathura

Chodke apne kashi mathura

Aake Basao More nain

Tum bin paun kaise chaina

Kanhaaa

Tarsu Tumhiko din raina.

Tear start to fall from my eyes like river everything vanished it's just me & kanha.

Grieving in front of him for what even i don't know but kanha is understanding that's what matters

Ek pal ujiraya aaye

Ek pal andhiyara chaye

Maan kyun na dhabraye

Kaise na Dhabraye

Maan jo koi dhara

Apni rahon mein paaye

Kaun disha jaye

Tum bin kaun samjhaye

Tum bin kaun samjhaye.......

I can't act anymore to be happy to be strong atleast not in front of him.

I fell on my knees and continue to sing

Chodke apne kashi mathura

Chodke apne kashi mathura

Aake Basao More nain

Tum bin paun kaise chaina

Kanhaaa

Tarsu Tumhiko din raina

Ek pal ujiraya aaye

Ek pal andhiyara chaye

Maan kyun na dhabraye

Kaise na Dhabraye

Maan jo koi dhara

Apni rahon mein paaye

Kaun disha jaye

Tum bin kaun samjhaye

Tum bin kaun samjhaye

I feel someone's touch on my shoulder but i didn't turn i move forward & take the diya place in front of kanha & kept it on my palm & start doing the Arti.....

Jeevan ek nadiya hai

Lehron lehron behti jaye

Ismein man ki naiyaa

Doobe kabhi tar Jaye

Tum na Khewaiya ho to

Koi tat kaise paaye

Majdhaar rehlaye

Tu tumri saran aaye

haan tumri saran aaye

Mein hoon tumhari

hai Tumhara yeh mere jeevan

Tumko hi dekhon mein

Dekhun koi darpan

Bansi Ban jaungi

In hooton ki ho jangui

In sapno se jalthal

Hai mera maan agan

Hain mera hmmm hmmm

Broke into tears hysterically when someone hold me & hug me ......
