Embarrassment would be an understatement because I want to bury myself 6 feet under earth. How can I cuddle him? I didn't even dare to meet my eyes with him. It was my fault and I was busy pointing him out.
I didn't expect my first day at my sasural would be this disconcerting. Manvika you can do this. By looking at my abashed face in the mirror I tried to boost myself.
I have freshened up and adorned myself in an elegant red saree which his mother gave me. By drying hair with a towel I came out as normally I don't use a hair dryer. I let my hair to air dry.
It took me more than 20 minutes to drape the saree. I learnt it by watching YouTube video. But these pleats are challenging to make.
By adjusting the pleats I came out. My handsome husband was staring at me , now it is even more awkward because as in the previous incident it was not enough. Now my pleats were open when tripped on my saree.
Why should all the humiliating things happen to me? It can happen in installments, why all should happen on the same day God. As I was feeling extremely bad for my situation I tightly closed my eyes.
I felt something on my feet. Wait, was he touching my feet? Immediately I tapped my gaze to my feet. I moved back because he is kneeling at my feet.
" Arjun aap meri pair nahi chu sakte ho. don't touch my feet? You should not kneel in front of me." I don't want him to do that.
"Why should I not touch your feet? You are about to trip in your saree. You may get hurt." His voice filled with concern.
"Because a husband should not touch his wife's feet " I said it as a matter of fact. Because I've been living in this stereotypical world where women are degraded.
" Mahadev ne Sati devi ki pair chuliya aur Bhagvan sree Krishna bhi Radha Rani ki pair chuliya. Main toh akir insaan hun. Apna biwi ki pair chusakta hun."(Lord Shiva touched Sati Devi's feet and even Sri Krishna touched Radha Rani's feet. I am a mere human then why can't I touch my wife's feet?)
Arjun elucidated. Wow he knows more about mythology.
" I know but we are made like this by this stereotypical world. " My lips formed a pout.
" Yeah but we should not believe it until it has a valid reason, my dear wife. Do you want me to help you?" He offered help.
" Mmmm I don't know how to fold these pleats. I have been trying for 20 minutes." I fisted my palms.
" Ok I will do it."
" How do you know it? Have you ever done this before?" I questioned him. Because how he knows all these. Did he do all this to his girlfriend?
" I have seen papa helping mom so I learnt it for my wife. I haven't done this to anyone, my jealous baby." I felt at ease by listening to him.
