On next Friday.
Aarushi was standing in front of mirror. She was ready in bridal avatar.
"Aarushi.. Abhi tumhe niche bulate hi honge.. Tayyar hui ya nai.? " Anjali asked.
"Haan Aai.. Tayyar hoon. " Aarushi answered.
Someone knocked on door.
"Kaun hai..? " Anjali asked.
"Ji main hoon.. Bandana. "
"Aao na. " Anjali smiled.
"Wo.. Aai ne yeh nath di hai.. Pehnane ke liye kaha hai. " Bandana said.
"Pehnegi na.. Aarushi lo. " Anjali gave it to Aarushi.
"Dikhao toh.. Mehndi ka rang bahit gehra chadha hai.. Hai na kaki.? " Bandana said.
"Haan.. Bilkul. " Anjali said.
Aarushi just smiled.
"Chalo.. Bhauji mandap me pohoch chuke hai.. Muhurat nai nikalna chahiye.. " Bandana said.
"Aa jaungi main. " Aarushi said.
Bandana went. Anjali looked towards Aarushi.
"Aarushi.. Shadi ho rahi hai tumhari.. Ab thoda acche se ghar smbhalna sikh lo.. " Anjali cupped her face. "Dekho.. Main nai kehti ki andha vishwas rakh ke apne pati ki sari bate mano.. Par phir bhi main kahungi.. Wo pati banane wala hai tumhara.. Kai baar aisa ho jata hai ki hum aurate emotional hoke kuch galat decisions le lete hai.. Aise waqt me ghar ka mard hi nishpaksh reh ke decision le sakta hai.. Uski bate mana karo.. Usko respect do.. Tabhi tumhe wo respect milegi jo tum deserve karti ho.. "
Aarushi had tears in her eyes.
"Apni poori taqat laga ke iss shadi ko nibhao.. Use respect do.. Pyar do.. Tumhare daman me jo bhi hai wo sab do.. Tabhi janam bhar ka sath banega.. " Anjali said...
"Aai.. " Aarushi hugged her. " Mujhe dar lag raha hai. "
"Tum bahot strong ho Aarushi.. Bilkul mat daro.. Kuch galat nai hoga.. Tum jo galat hai use sahi karne wali ho. " Anjali said in mysterious voice.
"Aai.? " Aarushi asked in confusion.
"Tumhe kya lagta hai tum nai bataogi toh mujhe pata nai chalega.? Mere khoon ki paidaish ho tum.. Exact kya hua hai yeh nai pata mujhe.. Par jo bhi hua hai.. Be strong.. Sab thik karo " Anjali said holding her hands.
Aarushi wiped away her tears & nodded.

Sumedh made Aarushi wear the Mangalsutra. He then filled her partition with vermilion.
There were so many rituals & Sumedh was tired.
"Kitni der lag rahi hai tumhe apna banane me.. " Sumedh said to her.
She ignored.
After all rituals Aarushi went to change. She wore another saree fr bidai ritual.
"Din me tisri saree hai yeh. " She said.
"Ab Saree hi pehenani hai.. Ghar me sab aurate saree hi pehenti hai. " Devaki told.
Aarushi made a scared face.
"Pata hai tum kitni lucky ho.. Kal hi tumhara garbhadan vidhi hai.. Mera shadi ke 20 din baad hua tha. " Bandana said.
Aarushi didn't reacted. Devaki was somehow aware with her situation.
"Chalo.. Nikalna hai.. " Devaki said.
"Haan.. Hum niche raah dekh rahe hai Aarushi.. " Bandana said.
