Marriage Day

Radha's PoV

After that day, everything went so fast. We had an engagement party. Accompanied by Haldi celebrations, a sangeet night and a bachelorette party.

It's currently my wedding day... It's my wedding, I can't believe it.

I was in my wedding attire getting ready by my besties.

Oh, o haven't introduced right? My four besties... Meera, Chandni, Sakshi and Rakhi. We are all childhood sweethearts.

They were ready to eat me alive when I told them I am getting married. Drama queens....

"Radhu, will you not love me after your marriage?"

Meera asked very dramatically.

"She won't even bat an eye at you after her marriage, Meera."

Rakhi replied to which Meera whined.

"Stop it both of you, idiots."

Chandni shouted.

"It's our baby's marriage and you both are simply arguing ."

She completed her sentence.

Now, leave it... They are always like this. I wonder why I made them my friends and why I am still friends with them... it's not the time to regret making them my friends.

It's my marriage... I am getting married.

After five hours of their works I was ready.

I was all ready for my marriage in my wedding attire.

Papa, Chacha and my brothers made a crying mess while seeing me in my wedding attire.

Time skip... wedding time...

I sat beside him in the mandap. The priest was saying something, but I didn't listen.

He tied the mangalsutra around my neck and applied vermilion on the line in my forehead. Some fell on the tip of my nose.

Time skip.

After my Vidaii.. ceremony I was welcomed by his family, after so many rituals I was finally in his room.

I waited for him to come, after what felt like an eternity he came. I stood up.

"I have something to tell you."

He told me.

"Listen I married you for the sake of my Dada. I want nothing to do with you. You will have the Vardhan Surname attached to yours. You will be the grand daughter-in-law of the family. Don't expect anything from me and don't involved in my personal life."

He told me in one breath.

I was shocked, I didn't expect my life to be like this, especially on my first night. But who am I to deny his words? I just nodded my head.

"Even I didn't wanted this marriage, only because of my Dada's persuasion I agreed to marry to you."

I told him as I didn't want him to see how much his words had hurt me. I hated being weak. I went to the bathroom to change without even waiting for his reply.

I knew my life would never be happy. It was always like this. But I decided to follow his words. I will not meddle in his business. When I came back to the room he was nowhere to be seen. Do I mind? Yes, a little bit.

I can't let my guard down around this man. He has the power to break me, if I give it to him.

I changed and went back, took a pillow and a duvet. I opened my handbag and took out the sleeping pills, swallowed them with water and went straight to the couch to sleep. I was an insomniac.
