cascade of memories

PART 4

Although i was dazed after his sweet and best proposal without thinking twice i just shouted " yess" and hugged him tightly he responded immediately by hugging me back. We heard sounds of claps around us ad saw everyone was there my mom, dad, Reena, Aarush, Piyush's mom and dad too they all approached us and congratulated us, they were happy. 

On the very next day, Piyush took me to a dinner date to a beautiful restaurant. While dinning, i asked him 'why didn't he tell me this earlier? i mean, he could have also told me also on phone then why like this?'. To answer me, he just held my hand in his and said " because i wanted to know whether you missed me terribly like i did or not, whether you feel the same for me like i do for you or it's just me and my hopes, i wanted to know do i have any importance in your life or not?" listening to his honest reply i asked him again " so you got your answers or not?" with sincerity in his words he replied " yes, i got them all." and stared deep in my eyes. His words and longing stares made me blush. We finished our dinner and headed towards home, to get another surprise. His mom and dad was there talking with my parents discussing about our marriage. YES! our MARRIAGE gosh!! i couldn't even believe it. They all seems to be more impatient than us. Mom told me that they have discussed about the same with Reena as well and she also thinks that it's great. I glanced towards Piyush's direction with questioning eyes, to know his plans. He smied at me lovingly and held my hand saying " I'm always ready, at any time and any place what matters is your approval." again he left me speechless, in return i just gave a blushing smile to all as my answer and so our marriage was fixed on next month's 18th day.

Now it was chaos all over the house for our marriage preparations. This made both of us also busy but then also even in such strict schedule we got some time for each other, either we talk on phone as we used to do or sometimes we just plan random meetings at some ice-cream parlour or coffee-shops.Slowly time passed by and the most awaited day was here. yes its our marriage day. I was damm excited so was he. He called me early in the morning and i scolded him for it.

SHEENA- what is this piyush? why you called me so early? is everything alright?

PIYUSH- yes yes off course actually i just wanted to hear your voice.

SHEENA-  WHAT????? are you mad? Today is our marriage and you disturbed me from my beauty sleep. Now if i won't look beautiful then only you will be responsible for this.

PIYUSH (while laughing)- oh! come on you and your beauty sleep. By the way who told you that you are beautiful it was a good joke, i must say you have a good sense of humour. Beautiful and you hahaha...........

saying so he started laughing hysterically.

SHEENA (angrily)- oh yeah! fine then if m not beautiful then go and get a beautiful bride for you.why wasting your time with me?

PIYUSH- shut up! yeah you are not beautiful but the most  beautiful and off course the gorgeous one.

SHEENA (blushing)- you always do this type of pranks now stop this buttering and go to sleep we only have few hours left.

PIYUSH-yes right we have few hours left then we'll be together forever.

SHEENA- yeah right we will be. so go now and sleep. bye

PIYUSH (smiling)- ok ok, bye look beautiful have your beauty sleep.

saying so he ended our conversation,i was still smiling at his words. Sleeping wasn't possible now so i decided to take a short nap. After some time i heard Reena's and mom's happy voices as they came to wake me up for making me ready for the rituals which has to be done. Hearing their voices i got down from my bed before their asking me for which Reena teased me by saying that i'm impatient. I just blushed which i do most of the times now a days as if it has become our regular routine. Mom and Reena both smiled and gave me all those clothes and jewelleries before leaving the room. I started getting ready for the special day of my life.

Finally i was ready in my bridal attire, Reena and mom took me for the ceremonies. On reaching there i saw Piyush, he was sitting there and most probably waiting for me. When he saw me a broad smile appeared on his face and mine too.We sat together and completed all the rituals of  marriage. Finally everything was done gracefully and now we were married. Saying we were happy would be an understatement as we were elated so much. But it's time for me to leave the house although, i was happy but this feeling evoked a kind of pain in me, i won't be living with mom and dad now. I hugged my mom tightly as i cried she patted my back gently while sobbing then i clung to my dad who embraced me  protectively Reena came forward and hugged me and we cried again and again. Watching me like this Piyush also felt bad he held me for support and finally when i was done with my crying we heeded towards his car for my new destination.

Everything was new for me here, new people new surroundings i was trying to adjust myself in my new environment. Moreover than this i was glad enough to have piyush besides me in all this. We were so happy together. Life seems to be a very  beautiful fairytale for me little did i know that all this is going to turn upside down. All this happiness vanished, my dreams shattered as my life took a path which i had never imagined i can't forget that devastating day of my life, the day of our 1st marriage anniversary. yes! it was our 1st marriage anniversary. All were very happy including me and piyush as it was the most special day for us. Piyush has planned a surprise for me at the evening and i knew it all i was doing was just waiting for the evening.

In the as suspected (by me) he took me to my favourite restaurant. When we both entered together i saw Reena along with my other family members and in-laws. I looked at Piyush to thank him, he smiled to me and winked at me playfully, together we proceeded towards our family.There was a round table in the center on which a delicious looking cake was kept. Reena forwarded a knife towards us, me and piyush held it together between our hands and cut the cake, i heard claps around us. I fed the first bite of it to piyush, then he also tried to do the same but suddenly everything went dark around me. There was only darkness that surrounds me. After a while i found myself in my room lying on my bed. Piyush was sitting next to me and everyone was standing there staring me with concerned eyes. I couldn't guess anything so i enquired Piyush about the same. He calmed me and told me that in the mid of celebration i lost my conciousness and fell, he brought me here for which everyone was worried. On realising the fact i relaxed everyone and ensured them that m alright, it was only because of tiredness as since morning i was so excited for which i forgot to take some rest so that's the only reason. It was a tough task to assure them but lastly they agreed still Reena wasn't convinced so she insisted to take me to a doctor tomorrow, on so much of her insistence i finally gave my oh her demand and agreed. Piyush was equally worried i tried to relax him also.

It was 10 am of the next morning when Reena came to pick me up for doctor's clinic. I got ready and once again assured piyush of my well being before leaving with her.In a short while we reached there, in the clinic they took my blood samples for several tests, when all the procedures were over Reena enquired about my health. The doctor said that reports will be available in the same evening so he can only say or advice something after checking my reports so both of us headed towards my home and decided to wait there until the reports come.
