The way I used to live

chapter 31

Arjun's POV:

All the marriage arrangements are going smoothly. The day before yesterday, Daksha's parents came to give the wedding invitation from their side. Finally, I got a chance to meet them.

They were a lovely and humble couple. They behaved like they had known me for ages.

I didn't feel like they were strangers as well. Her Dad told me a lot about Daksha's childhood.

Even though they were looking happy, I felt like they were in some kind of pain. I don’t know, it might be my imagination.

Finally, the following day was the one when my wedding was going to take place.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Maybe the wedding jitters. Indra and Dhruv were there with me to calm my nerves, not before laughing at my situation though.

Dharshit couldn’t attend my wedding as he was so busy handling his recent project.

He already apologized for his absence. I understood his situation and didn't force him to do so.

As we didn’t have any extended family or any close relatives, Indra's and Dhruv's families were the only ones from my side.

Sudha Aunty already informed Daksha's Mom that she was going to attend the wedding from the groom's side and they agreed to it gladly.

As for my grandfather, a month back, he went on a pilgrimage along with his friends and also to see the world.

As this wedding was not a pre-planned one, he couldn't make it. I really wanted him to be with me on this important day of my life but I had to understand the situation.

Mom and Ammu were handling everything very well. They were not letting me do anything but how could I make them do everything? So, I also helped them with what I could.

Mom told me to wake up early the next day as some rituals were to be performed. So, after having my dinner, I immediately came to my room to get some sleep.

I laid on my bed and took my phone. My fingers automatically went to open the picture of Daksha which was shared by her Mom on the day they came to give the card. My lips curled up into a smile upon seeing her divine looking face.

She really has a beautiful smile that can captivate the heart of anyone. Her every feature is flawless. She is a sight that I want to wake up to see every day.

My smile increased even more after remembering her well-planned dinner date.

How much I loved her hand made food! I remembered the little moments that we both shared that day.

When I kissed her, I recalled how her beautiful face was adorned with a tinge of rosiness. She was damn adorable and definitely a sight to behold.

After thinking about something, I immediately sent a long message to her and drifted into sleep with the thoughts of that message that might help her.

The next day, Mom woke me up. She told me to get ready for the rituals and handed me a white dhoti to wear as a part of the ritual. After wearing it, I went downstairs.
