Reception

Daksh POV

************

I was stunned looking at her. My heart skipped a beat. She looked so beautiful in that red dress that I was just mesmerized by her looks, and her face was glowing like thousand fires flies, seeing the beach wedding decorations. I know she loved the beach so decided to have a beach wedding. I suggested my Dad to keep the wedding on the beach.

She walked and sat down beside me. Before I can stop myself, the words left my mouth. "You look so much breathtaking, this close." I whispered.

"What did you just say?" she asked and stared at me with wide eyes.

I composed myself and said, "You look so ugly and very horrible in this red lehenga" I smirked.

"Thanks for your compliment but you look more ugly and very bulky in this sherwani" she mocked at me. I glared at her.

"Why are you glaring at me? It's not my fault. It's the truth" She smirked at me.

I want to wipe that smirk off her face. "Of course, It's my fault because I am going to marry a characterless girl who cheated on me, I'll show you what happens to cheaters like you" Her eyes widened, tears brimming her eyes. Suddenly, I felt regretful looking at her hurt face. I cursed myself for hurting her. She always brings out the worst in me.

The priest began the rituals. He told us to get up and put the garlands on each other. My sister handed both of us a garland. I simply bent over and let her put the garland on.

"Bro, you are going to let her put the garland. So easily? She's the one gonna rule in your marriage" Ana said.

"We will see that after marriage" I told Ana and smirked at Divya, and I put the garland around her neck.

We followed the command of priest as he told us to put a hand on one other's hand to perform the ritual in front of the sacred fire. Soon, we were asked to stand up for our vows and take seven circles around the holy fire.

priest chanted the meaning of Seven vows

1)The first round was for respect and honour towards each other.

2)The second for strength to whatever be the problems.

3)The third for prosperity in the household.

4)The fourth for wisdom.

5)The fifth for children.

6)The sixth for health.

7)The seventh for affection and a long-lasting companionship.

After the ritual, were completed, we were again made to sit and priest passed a vermilion box to me. I filled her forehead with the vermilion. Then, I tied the nuptial chain around her neck. Finally everything was completed. Priest announced us husband and wife officially.

We looked at each other's eyes. Her eyes were piercing through my soul. Her brown diamond eyes were filled with thousands of emotions, but I abruptly looked away.

l

Mom was looking at us with happy tears flowing down her eyes. Everyone around us clapped breaking our trance, and we got up to take the blessings of the elders. All of them blessed us. We all gathered for a group family photo as, I put my arm around her waist. She glared at me. I smirked back.

"You both must go to hotel room and take rest. The reception will only begin within an hour" Dad said.

"Divi, you need to get ready. Your hairdresser and beautician will be there in half an hour to assist you" Ana said.

"Let's go wifey" I said teasingly and guided her towards the car. I sat inside the car with Divya. Ana got inside the car and sat beside me. The driver started driving towards our destination.

After driving for a while, we arrived at a hotel. I guided her through the corridors. We entered the elevator and pushed the button to the fifth floor which opened into a double royal suite.

The door opened and a huge "Wow" escaped from the both of them. As we walked towards the huge floor, we were greeted with a ceiling glass window and an amazing view.

We entered the room. "Ana, get her ready, I'll be back when I get ready by myself" I said and went to another room.

Divya POV

************

Ok, I'm officially married now!

Daksh is my husband!

Now I'm Divya Daksh Mehra!

I sighed and fell back on the couch. "Divi, are you okay?" Ana asked me worriedly.

"I'm fine but I feel very tired" I told her.

"Would you like some geen tea?" Ana asked me.

"No, I'm good with juice" I told her. She ordered an apple juice for me while I took a relaxing hot shower and came out of the bathroom.

Ana changed her dress. She wore a beautiful red gown letting her hair down on one side. I smiled at her.

"You look beautiful, Ana" I complimented her, and she smiled.

"Thank you, Divi. Now it's your turn to get ready, and I can't wait to see the dress on you" I smiled and took it from her. I went into the bathroom to change.

As soon as I opened the bag, I gasped.

Wow! This gown is just amazing. I had no words to describe. The black and beige colour combination was so beautiful. Quickly, I changed into it. It had an off-shoulder neckline, was complementing it perfectly. It overall looked beautiful on me.

As I entered my room, Ana gasped. I looked up at her.

"You look gorgeous, Divi!" I smiled.

"Now finish this apple juice, here" she handed me a juice, and I gulped it down.

We heard a knock on the door. Immediately, Ana went to open the door. The beautician came inside and said that it was time to get ready. I nodded my head and sat on the chair.

Curling my hair first and the stylist completed the look. I told my beautician that I want to keep my make up light and as natural as I could. The earthy tones brought my brown eyes out a little more. I totally loved my makeup. Finally, I was ready.

Suddenly, we heard a knock at the door. Ana opened the door.

"You ladies take so long to get ready. We are get...." Daksh left his sentence incomplete when he saw me. He entered the room eyeing me slowly. He was eyed raping me in front of everyone.

I cleared my throat to bring him out of his trance. He took few moments to compose himself. I looked at Ana, who was looking at me with a teasing smile on her face. I looked down and blushed hard.

Daksh looked around and cleared his throat. He was looking like a male model wearing the black suit.

"Well then ladies, let's go" he said. We nodded and I slipped on my heels, picking my purse and phone up. We walked outside to the car.

Ana opened the door, and I entered the car. Daksh sat beside me. The ride was silent but comfortable. I looked out of the window throughout the whole way.

We soon entered the building where the reception was going to be held. I gasped looking at the sight in front of me. I was left dumb shocked. This is the most beautiful building I have ever seen. The place was decorated superbly. Security was all around the place, guarding it.

Daksh gave me his hand, and I took it timidly.

"Don't worry, just relax" he murmured. Once Ana was out, we walked towards the building. As we entered the hall, everyone looked at us. It was even bigger in the inside as it was on the outside.

Girls were giving me a glare, and most of the males were looking at me creepy. Daksh put his hand on my bare waist. The way he touched me, left me shivering. I don't know why. I feel very safe in his arms.

Soon they proceeded with traditions like speeches and cake cutting. Like everyone expected, we behaved just like a newlywed couple should behave. I was getting too many compliments today. Whenever, I get male compliments, Daksh's grip tightened around my waist.

Possessive je*k!

As the time progressed and the time for our first dance rolled in, the actual awkwardness settled in me. Daksh held my hand and slowly led me to the centre of the dance floor.

He placed my hand on his shoulder and placed his hand on my waist. As the slow song played in the background, we both swayed in a composed rhythm.

He tugged me closer by my waist and immediately my br**sts crashed his hard chest.

"Finally, you accomplished your mission of marrying me. Are you happy, now?" He asked, swirling with me and gazed at me in anger. His words hurt.

(The passion to make your mine

Is over me, since long)

"How can you say like that?" I asked him, emotionally.

"This was not how I imagined it" I said looking at him, emotionally. He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Don't act like an innocent doll. You promised me that you'll stop talking to karthik but you clearly didn't. I lost my trust on you. I don't want to hear your lies or excuses anymore" he told me angrily.

"Why can't you see the true love in my eyes?" I asked him, helplessly.

(Let me come closer and read your

Intoxicating eyes, which are saying poetry)

"If you loved me so much, then why did you break the promise you made to me?" he asked, and his eyes turned so stormy.

"I promise, I didn't cheat on you. Please trust me, Daksh" I begged him.

(The passion to lose after attaining

Is over me, since long

I want to say that

Keep me somewhere in your eyes)

"Don't make any promises that you can't keep, babe. You broke my heart and trust, and I'm not gonna let you do it again" he replied.

"Ok, I understand you don't trust me, but I want to ask you one question? I asked him. He nodded his head.

(Don't stop I am adamant

The craziness is over me in such a way)

"Tell me, You're not the father of my baby? Do you care for our baby" I asked him, while crying? I caught his eye softening but it quickly hardened

(Come and see my condition.

I haven't healed after breaking.)

"Why would I care?" he asked me with glaring eyes.

"What do you mean by 'why would I care?' Aren't you a human? Don't you have humanity in you? You got me a pregnant and now telling me you're not the father of my baby? Damn it!" I yelled at him.

(Now, I don't want to control.

Whatever it is, it is right.

Come)

"Keep your voice down. This marriage is just for my mom's happiness, so pretend like we are a happy couple" he pointed a finger at me, in warning.

(The passion to unite with you

It is over me, since long.)

I took a deep breathe and said. "Ok, I will just pretend we're a happy couple. But soon I'm going to prove that you're the father to my baby. After that, I'll be completely out of your way. You won't ever get my love and my baby's love, and I will make sure of it" I told him sternly. His black eyes were flooded with so pain.

(Let me stay close to you,

I want to say.)

After the little argument, he twirled me and danced all along for the whole five-minute song. Finally, the song ended and I found everyone staring at us. As soon as the song ended, they clapped their hands and cheered. Not being able to be close to him any longer, I immediately left the stage and went to stand beside Ana.

I want to cry so badly, but I hate to cry in front of him and letting him see my vulnerable side. So I am just trying my best to hold the tears back, and I'm successful in it.

Soon it was time to end reception. All the guests were leaving after greeting and wishing us as very long happy life ahead.

'Very long happy life? I don't think so!' I thought myself.

**********************************************

Precap- "Can't you see? I'm trying to sleep? Don't bother me!" I told him annoyingly.

How is it?
