My Accidental Marriage

Chapter 6| Sleepless Night

Khushi :"hmm. bye"(She said as she ended the call)

Khushi kept her phone on charge as she calmed herself down trying to encourage herself before she opened her bag to find something to wear for the night. Meanwhile Manish also struggled with his emotions inside the washroom.

As he entered her heard the Main gate close behind him. He moved towards the sink as he washed his face. He looked up at the guy in the mirror. He was the same person yet he felt so different from before. Just in few hours how his life had taken this turn. He felt angry very angry, but at who? Even he wasn't sure. He wanted someone to blame for this. He wanted to scream and shout, let out his frustration but he couldn't.

At first he felt angry that that girl. Only if she hadn't been at the wedding. Only if she watched where she ran. Only if her stupid duppata hadn't got tangled with his watch. Only if she had refused to this marriage. Only if he could blame her. But he knew she wasn't at fault. In fact she was as much of a victim as he was. He knew she is already very scared and didn't deserve any of his anger. He sighed as he leaned onto the sink slab and closed his eyes. His mind would blast will all these thoughts.

His mind went to his dadu's words. To trust him. Manish trust his Dadu more then he trusted anyone in this world. Even himself. He ran his hand through his hair as he again looked at himself in the mirror.

Manish:"I need to shut my brain down"(He said as he decided to not think of anything else tonight)

He soon exited the washroom still in his wedding outfit as he forgot to take his nightwear inside. He noticed his wife trying to find something in the suitcase. He cleared his throat as he noticed her jump and stand up with few cloths in her hand.

Manish:"you.. you can use the washroom"

He said awkwardly as Khushi nodded and shut her suitcase before taking her cloths and heading to the washroom while Manish stood there cringing at himself .

Manish:(mimicking himself)"you can use the washroom.. Why the hell would you say that you duffer. She doesn't need your permission to use the washroom"

He headed to his suitcase and took out his grey pajamas and a white shirt. He changed in the room only before putting his phone on charge as it was almost dead. As he sat on the bed with his phone on charge next to him only, he scrolled through Instagram. He needed to get his mind of things.

While as Khushi stood in the washroom, She looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't recognize the girl in front of her. Was she even a girl anymore. Or was is a woman now. A married woman. She looked at herself in the red saari with the Mangalsutra around her neck and the red sindoor filling her hairline reminding her of her changed status now. She was no longer Khushi Sharma. She was Khushi Malhotra now.  Her hands went to her mangalsutra as she closed her eyes holding on it while a tear fell from her eyes. While her eyes were closed, she saw her parents smiling at her as they stood in each others arms.

Khushi :"I miss you mumma..I miss you papa"(She said as she opened her eyes.)

Khushi sighed as she wiped her tears, and started to change into her nightwear. She had picked out a black pajama and white shirt to go with it. She unpinned her Pallu from her shoulder and pulled out her plates of her saari. She then changed into her nightwear. She pulled all the pins in her hair and started to fully open her hair. She ran her and through her long hair trying to untangle them. She took off all the other jewelry other then her mangalsutra and used the makeup wipes that Rajshri has given her to take off her make up.

Rajshri had given Khushi few extra makeup and other essential necessaries as a blessing from herself as she had some for her own daughter. She was even wanting to provide Khushi with another Saari for the next day but Khushi declined saying she has one and Rajshri had given her alot of things already. But recently looking at her cloths in her bag she noticed how Chachi ji had taken the saari out. Her bag only had 1 nightwear, Her old lehenga , the lehenga Rajshri had given her and a normal blue jeans with kurti .
