Mithra's POV

Divya and Ma, along with other women walk me towards Vijay. He looks at me, and waves. I smile at him, blushing.

Vijay had gotten better a few days later. The doctors said he was just a bit overwhelmed due to the emotion, and him being on pain killers. After he was discharged, I waited a couple of weeks before I had him meet Ma.

Flashback:

"Vijay, come fast!" I say into the phone.

"I'm coming baby." he replies from the other side.

"Ugh!" I groan. "Always late!"

"Oh god. Don't worry baby. I am almost here." he says.

Suddenly, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I quickly grab the hand and turn around, twisting the person's hand in the process.

"Ow ow oww." a familiar voice cries out.

"Vijay!" I say, shocked.

I quickly let go of his hand.

"Remind me never to do that again." he winces in pain, stretching out his shoulder muscle.

"Oh my god! So sorry Vijay." I move towards him to take a look at his hand.

"How did you get in?" I ask.

"You left the door open madam." he replies.

"Oh shoot! I forgot to close the door!" I say. I begin to walk to the front door. He suddenly grabs my waist and pulls me towards his chest.

"Vijay!" I squeal.

"Don't worry, I closed it." he whispers.

"Thanks. Now let me go Vijay. My aunt is waiting." I say.

"I love y-" he starts, but someone clears their throat, interrupting him.

I suddenly pull away from him when I see Ma. I look down, blushing. Vijay just rubs the back of his neck, looking at her sheepishly

Ma just chuckles.

"Come on." she beckons to us.

They go into the living room while I go into the kitchen to make coffee.

I walk out with the coffee, and see ma and Vijay talking. I give them coffee, and sit down next to ma.

Ma places her hand on mine to comfort me.

"Mithra is an amazing girl. My husband and her parents died in the same blast. I was not there when it happened, since I was sick. She is all I have." ma says, tears in her eyes.

"Ma-" I say, trying to comfort her.

"Aunty, I understand. I lost my parents in that blast too. I was only ten, and I had two younger sisters. Reddy sir took us in. He paid for our studies, and brought us up. When I turned 20, the three of us moved into the same house. I began to work as a RAW agent." Vijay says.

Ma smiles.

"Great choice Mithra!" she says.

I look down and blush.

"Vijay, both you and Mithra grew up the same way. What I've heard and seen about you so far has all been good." ma says.

"Thanks Aunty." Vijay says.

"I already talked to the priest. He said that October 13 is a good date."  Ma says.

"Ma?" I ask.

"Your wedding date." She clarifies.

I hug her tightly.

End of Flashback

They sit me down next to Vijay. The priest says some slokas, and asks Vijay to take the mangalsuthra(wedding chain). Vijay gently picks it up, and turns towards me. I bend my head, as it is our custom. A few women behind me hold up my long, braided hair, along with Ma. Vijay ties the three knots, and we get married.

After, we make seven circles around the sacred fire, finishing off the marriage.

Ma welcomes us into our new home by circling the fire before us.

I slowly walk towards Vijay and my room, a bit nervous. I open the door, to find the room empty. I gently set the glass of milk on the table next to the door, and turn to close and lock the door.

Suddenly, I feel arms wrap around my waist.

"Hi." Vijay whispers into my ear.

I get a tingling feeling at his voice. He pushes me against the wall, and moves my hair to one side. He places a kiss on my bare neck, making me shudder. I turn around in his arms and look at him.

"I love you." he whispers.

"I love you too." I reply back.

He moves closer to me and we kiss.

"What did I ever do to deserve you?" he asks, moving away from me.

"Oh shut up." I say, playfully slapping his chest.

He walks towards the bed.

I stare at him, confused.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Sleeping." he replies.

"But its our fist night..." I look down.

He walks over to me and gently places his hand on my cheek.

"Mithra." he says.

"Hm?" I ask, still looking down.

"Look at me." he insists.

I look up at him.

"You aren't ready yet."

He's right.

I am not ready...
