Innocence to Bravery - Page 62/181

Adhira saw Arya who was sinfully handsome. She smiled at him and they both saw each other for a minute engrossed within themselves. The pandit then started off the wedding rituals.

Adhira felt a panic occurring in her heart. She was thinking of her days with family as well thought that she must leave them and start living with a new family. She felt it hard to digest the fact but she then felt relaxed as Arya had placed his hands on hers. Thought he was asked to do so by pandit she felt comfort by it also his touch made her to forget it and focus on the moment.

The pandit then handed the mangalsutra to Arya and that was the moment she was expecting. She was joyed but was saddened too. She saw the yellow rope coming near her neck and it was like she had been feeling both fire and water at the same moment. She didn’t know how to react so she simply closed her eyes but still the feeling didn’t disappear.

Arya tied the knot and was happy that they have become husband and wife now. He saw her eyes closed and tears rolling down her cheeks. He took his hand and wiped it off. Adhira was able to sense someone hands on her cheeks so she opened her eyes and saw Arya’s face smiling at her. She then looked down and found the yellow rope hanging indicating that she was wedded to him.
