With a big smile on her, Malini turned towards the mirror. Heavy bangles adored her wrist, beaded golden red blouse, kundan neck piece, and earing. The color of her cheeks matched her lehanga. Red, her favorite color. Finally, her eyes settled on her eyes in the reflection. They were shining like never before. Maybe she was never this happy before. Malini could not recognize herself. She is radiating happiness, and why not? It's not like everyone gets a chance to marry their first love. She still remembers the day when she met Aditiya in her college. He came there as an intern jonouralist in a news publishing company. He was there to take interviews with the students of the college and pen down their experience. It was a love at first sight. Five years have passed, and today, they are getting married. 'Malini. Are you ready?' Anu Chaturvadi asked, entering the resort room. Her eyes glittered with tears looking at her daughter all dolled up as a bride. She smilingly moved closer to Malini and kissed her forehead. Standing close to her, Anu asked the photographer to click a picture of them. Her daughter was getting married, and she wanted to capture everything possible as a memory in any way possible. 'Don't worry beta. Everything is fine.' Malini is nervous, and she knows that her mother knows it.
The last few days have been very hatic. Doing the arrangements of her own wedding was not easy. But as the only daughter of her parents, she could not move all the burden on her parents. And back to back function also contributed to her tiredness. As if all this was not enough, Aditiya happened. He was also acting very strange. Avoiding her, not picking her calls. This made Malini more tensed. 'Maybe he is also busy in preparation.' She thought brushing off her worries.
After all, everything is going to be fine today. They will be married and will spend the rest of their lives together, have children together, and will always love each other. Wishing best for the future, Malini moved towards the aisle with her parents by her side. Moving forward, she met Aditiya hafeway through it. Holding their hands together, they moved towards the mandap, promising to always respect and love each other forever.
