Ashlesha's pov

I was sitting with my head bowed down surrounded by ladies of my and his family. All the noises soon faded and all I was hearing was..
" Kya apko yeh nikah qubool hai?"

" Qubool hai"  I said this for the third time and now I was officially married to a stranger.

I didn't knew when  time went away and I was in my new bedroom now. I remember crying my heart out hugging my family. I opened my eyes and saw him sitting in front of me with my feet on his lap and he was caressing them with care. I jerked my feet away from him. He was startled by my sudden action.

" Begum. Uth gayi aap.. kal raat toh aap itna royi ki rote rote behosh hi ho gayin. Allah ka shukar hai aap bilkul sahi salamat hain"

" Allah ka nahi shivji ki kripa hai jo hum bilkul thik hain"

" Begum, tayar ho jayein. Sab apki raah dekh rahe honge"

I stepped out of the bed and went towards the washroom. I turned on the shower and had a good 30 minutes bath. I came out and walked to the closet there I saw few pakistani suits hanging but I was in no mood of wearing them. Since it's my first day of marriage I took out an elegant saree, filled my maang with sindoor and wore the mangalsutra around my neck. I took out heavy bangles and completed my look with a bindi.

I moved towards the dining table and everyone's eyes widened looking at me.

" Ashleshaaa! Yeh kya huliya bnaya hua hai?"

" Oh acha, apka matlab mere is shringaar se hai? Asal me hmare yahan ese hi sajte hain shadi ke baad"  ashlesha said

" Bevkoof hongi na isiliye toh har baat sunti hongi. Par hum toh galat ka sath nahi dete hain kabhi" ashlesha said

" Galat kya hai zara btayengi aap?" Arsal finally spoke

" Yahi ki hume zabardasti apne dharm ke hisaab se tyar hone ko kaha ja raha hai" ashlesha said

" Bhai jaan. Bhot achi jaban chala leti hai aapki biwi" noor said

" Bas kar dein ab sab. Nashta karein khamoshi se" dadi said and everyone started eating

" Ayein, aapko khana paros du" saika said

Ashlesha sat beside arsal and her eyes widened looking at non veg in her plate. She threw the plate. The curry spilled over noor and iqra.

" Bhabhi jaan yeh kya batmeezi hai.
ammi, yeh kesi batmeez aurt hai" noor shouted

" Chup! Yeh kya tareka hai yeh jante hue bhi ki hum non veg nhi khate hamari thali m yeh kyu parosa aapne?" Ashlesha screamed on saika.

" Kya batmeezi haii. Meri biwi ke sath unchi awaz me baat karne ki himmat kese hui tumhari!" Jamshed said

" Or inki himmat kese hui humse yeh paap karane ki!" Ashlesha said
