Wedding Rituals

Vanya took a pause in the middle of her story and said to Shravani,


"It is too late now, just go to your room and try to catch some sleep. Tomorrow, there is a wedding in our village. Rishi is getting married to a girl called Shivangi from Shauryagarh. So, it will be a memorable experience especially for you two girls, Shravani and Radhika!"

Radhika said to Shravani, 

"Try to memorise all the rituals by heart so that when you get married here, no one could say that you don't know anything about your culture!"

Kartik said to Shravani,

"Don't worry, I will tell you everything about our rich cultural heritage. You are in safe hands!"

Shravani smiled at him. She wanted to know everything about her roots as she wanted to feel closer to her mother by taking part in all the traditions of her native village.

Next day, Shravani received a call from her Superior Aakash on her mobile. There was some network issue as the mobile towers were far from the village.

She climbed on a cliff and finally got a uninterrupted mobile network on her phone. She called Aakash and said to him,

"Sir, I received a call from your number. Is there some urgent work?"

Aakash said to her,

"I am so relieved to hear your voice. How are you, I hope you two girls are enjoying your break. By the way, there was an assignment for you, you have to conduct an awareness programme regarding the wellbeing of newborn babies and their mothers. If you need some medical help to train the ANMs or for the routine check ups then we can provide a mobile clinic in the remote areas."

Shravani said to him,

"Yes, Sir we will conduct the workshop in this village. Thank you, Sir for your help. We will inform you the right time and place to set up a Mobile Clinic in this village. Ok, Bye Sir!"

Suddenly, someone pushed her off the cliff. Shravani was too shocked and she managed to say only,

"Aah....Aah..."

When out of the blue an arm appears out of nowhere and pulls her back to the ground.

It was Kartik, he asked her,

"What happened? How did you fell from the cliff?"

Shravani looked at the mountains and saw someone running very fast or maybe she was imagining things. She said to Kartik,

"Sorry, my bad!"

Kartik rolled his eyes and said to her,

"Your bad luck or your dream rescue by a superhero!"

Shravani laughed as she said to him,

"Both!"

They both went back to their village to get ready for a grand wedding.

Shravani wore a pink saree with diamond earrings. Radhika wore a green saree and minimal make up. 

Kartik stared at Shravani as he felt that she was looking like a fairy.

Rishi welcomed his guests and asked them to apply haldi on him as a part of a tradition.

They had a great time at the wedding. They danced with the groom's friends and watched teary eyed all the wedding rituals. Shivangi was looking beautiful in a red lehenga. When she cried during vidaayi, Radhika asked Shravani,

"Will you also cry like Shivangi when you will get married to Kartik?"

Kartik heard her and smiled at Shravani who said to Radhika,

"Maybe but I will make sure that if someone else will even try to make me cry after marriage then I will not forget to teach him a lesson by making him cry for his mistake!"

Kartik said to her,

"Ok!"
