AAYAT POV:

the two days after my haldi and mehndi went by in a jiffy. samaira, aarna, aditi and lyka decided to stay with me till the wedding and as anybody could guess we had a lot of fun. we binged watched movies, had late night chat sessions, played truth or dare, irritated aditi by reading aloud the very specific scenes from twisted love novel and everything anyone could ever imagine.

but just like everything else, these two days had to end too.

here i am sitting on my bed with messed hair and red eyes. i just woke up. beside me aditi was sleeping in the weirdest posture possible. aarna, samaira and lyka were sleeping on one cot each which were placed in my room the day they declared they're going to hijack my room.

however since there were only three cots available, one had to share the bed with me, as usual, lyka said she would be happy to sleep on the cot and aarna too agreed. but these too lunatics, samaira and aditi had to fight over everything, when their argument looked like it was not going to end, aditi jumped on the bed like a monkey and rolled herself in the blanket like a burrito. samaira's face looked traumatized after witnessing this incident and she slowly went and slept on the cot without muttering even a single word. that poor girl looked deeply shocked.

this is how this little annoying shit ended up next to me. i smacked her head with my pillow to wake her up and she groaned but didn't wake up. i smacked her once again and she woke up with a scowl on her face.

AAYAT: time to wake up sunshine! (i said in a sarcastic tone.)

ADITI: your husband is going to sleep next to you after your marriage, is this how you'll wake him up too?

i was deeply shocked after listening to this statement. did she.. the aditi.. mention about two people of opposite gender sleeping on the same bed? i looked over to samaira, lyka and aarna to confirm if what i heard was true, and their shocked faces with open mouths confirmed my suspicion.

ADITI: what? why are you all looking at me like that?

AAYAT: did you just mention a man and a woman sleeping on the same bed?

ADITI: yeah. isn't it supposed to be like that after marriage?

SAMAIRA: do you what that means? and what occurs in people's mind as soon as they hear that?

ADITI: what?

AAYAT: *smirk* you want me to give you the details?

ADITI: eww get lost! your husband doesn't know what kind of creep he's getting married to.

we all bursted out laughing.

just then amma entered the room and started lecturing.

AMMA: ladkiyo yeh kya harkat hai? yeh koi samay hai uthne ka?? aur aise kon hasta hai itni zor se? aayat tu toh sharam karle. tere shaadi hai aaj aur tu aise hasrahi hai besharmo jaise. uthjaao abb tayyar nai hona kya?

(girls what is this behaviour? is this the time to wake up? and who laugh's so loudly? aayat atleast you should've thought once. its your marriage today and you're laughing here like a shameless. now get up don't you want to get ready?)

as soon as she left the room everyone was silent. no one spoke a single word. it was as if realization just hit us. i was getting married today. FUCK..!

AAYAT: guys... did you also just realize.

ADITI: yeah we just did... there's only one bathroom and all of us need to shower..

as soon as we heard this everyone jumped out to reach the bathroom first but i was fast enough to enter the bathroom first and lock the door.

ADITI: aayat this is not fair..! come outt!!

AAYAT: nahh!! the bride has full liberty to have the bathroom first.

they huffed and shouted in irritated voices and left eventually.

i am getting married today.. i am getting married today.. married today... today... today.. eehhhhhhhhh i squealed in both excitement and fear and got ready for the day.

time skip.

everyone had taken a shower and were getting ready. my room looked as if a hurricane had hit it. damn these girls are such trouble makers! they were all in havoc. all dressed up and now doing the final touchups while i was sitting in my daily casual wear.

i was waiting for the parlour lady. i told i didn't need parlour facilities as i didn't like heavy make up and i could i manage it but my mother-in-law told marriage is a once in a lifetime experience so sit like a queen and enjoy.

and here i was.. sitting like a queen. which queen has to wait?

after what felt like a lifetime, the parlour lady arrived and apologized for being late politely and began doing her work. i told her i want the lightest make up and i wanted my face to look like mine. she agreed and started doing her work. after about 1 hour i was completely ready. i looked ethereal. as i had requested, the make up was light and i looked just like myself.. the dress i wore was golden in colour and looked heavy but was light enough to my surprise, but the jewellery was heavy this time. nevertheless i looked beautiful.

the parlour lady told me i looked beautiful to which i blushed and mumbled a polite thank you. then the door opened followed by loud squeals of excitement and happiness when i was engulfed in a heavy hug by these four idiots.

god i love them so much.

AARNA: god you look like a queen!!!!! you're slayingg!! you are the prettiest bride i've ever seen! oh my god i am getting emotional.

ADITI: you look very beautiful. tell asim to control and stay away from you.

AAYAT: he'll by husband dumbo.

ADITI: whatever. but i still am not used to imagining you with boys.

AAYAT: fuck off!

ADITI: i love you my pretty bestiee!!

SAMAIRA: everybody move away and let me meet my angel. oh my god you don't deserve to be in this world. go to heaven please. this place is too dull for your beauty.

LYKA: i love you soulmate. and you look as beautiful as your soul. you're the best human i've ever met.

AAYAT: thank you lyka. i'll miss u the most.

AAYAT: now stop making me emotional you dramatic bitches i'll cry..!

they all bursted out laughing. we clicked many pics together.

the door to my room opened slightly and i saw my parents appearing.

they had an emotional look on their faces. they told me how beautiful i looked and how proud i make them. we just stood there hugging each other and the gesture spoke a lot of things that words couldn't.

among all this havoc, i've noticed lyka has been extremely quite since the day of my haldi. it was as if she wasn't present there. though she passed a smile to me whenever our eyes met or when she came to apply haldi to me, but i couldn't miss the hint of sadness in it. i'll have to sit down and have a chat with her. i know this is very hard for her to handle but she has to cope up. and i am just getting married, not leaving her. i'll make sure to talk to her once i am free from this havoc and i am sure i'll make her feel better.

time went by in jiffy when they told me that people from groom's side had arrived. my mother-in-law entered the room followed by aliya and they praised like there was no tomorrow. they were good people. i liked them already.

my mother in law left but aliya stayed behind.

ALIYA: bhabhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

AAYAT: arreee kya hogaya chilla kyu rahi ho koi sunlega toh daatega.

(what happened?? why are you shouting? if people hear then they'll scold you.)

ALIYA: i just can't believe you'll stay with us from today. we'll have so much fun. we'll read novels together. bake cookies together. binge watch kdramas and movies and irritate bhai together.

as soon as he uttered bhai i blushed.

damn my body!

ALIYA: arre bhabhi abhi toh bas bhai hi bola tha aur aap toh laal tamatar banchuki hai. aage kya hi hoga phir.

(arre bhabhi i just mentioned bhai and you're a blushing tomato already. what will happen in the future then?)

like this they spent their time giggling and laughing. and soon it was time for their nikah.

priest: aayat kya aapko yeh nikaah qubool hai?

alhamdulillah qubool hai

priest: aayat kya aapko yeh nikah qubook hai?

alhamdulillah qubool hai.

priest: aayat kya aapko yeh nikah qubool hai?

alhamdulillah qubool hai.

that's it. it was done. i was married. i was married to asim aman. i was mrs aayat asim aman now.

soon it was the time for my hand to be given into his hand. i was taken to where he was. i slowly looked up, not making it obvious and damn. that man looked no less. if people told me i was the prettiest bride they've ever seen then he was no less than the best groom the history could ever witness.

the fact that his sherwaani was matching with my dress made me blush.

baba placed my hand in his and asked him to take care of my. he was soon followed by all the elders where they held our hands together and told us the importance of this relationship. they made us promise to take care of each other and similar things.

soon it was time for me to leave. to leave baba and amma. to leave my friends. i couldn't stop my tears as that thought creeped into my head. i held baba's hand and cried oh his shoulder. he kissed my head lightly and whispered in my ear. he told me he loved me and was proud of me. soon he was followed by amma, and others.

finally it was my crazy gang. they took me in a group hug and cried. they told me they were going to miss me and i couldn't loose touch with them. samaira came near my ear and whispered saying she wouldn't hesitate to break asim's bones if he hurt me. lyka just patted my head and kissed my forehead.

aditi just held my hand looking down and crying i lifted her face and wiped her tears and signalled her not to cry. she hugged me and cried for a bit but let me go eventually. aarna was by my side all this while and kept rubbing my back to sooth me and calm me down. but she had tears in her own eyes.

finally baba held my hand and took me out with asim on the other side of me. finally i was near the car when baba let my hand go. i turned back for the last time and hugged him tight sobbing uncontrollably. he hugged me back and kissed my forehead and gestured me to leave. i nodded half heartedly and turned towards the car.

asim opened the door of the car and held my hand. he walked me till we reached the door and made me sit inside the car. can't lie. i was impressed by this gesture. he closed the door and went to the other side and he himself sat down. the car started and i couldn't help but look back at baba and everyone else one last time and wave a goodbye. i started sobbing lightly again and a hand appeared in front of me holding a kerchief. it was asim. i slowly looked towards him and mumbled a small thank you before taking the kerchief. he just gave a small nod.

so.. this is where my new journey starts.. with my husband and me.. i am MRS. AAYAT ASIM AMAN now.
