BOOK TWO - HIS BETTERHALF
CHAPTER ONE
I walked behind him in tow four times, holding the dupatta in my hands that binds us together, taking laavan. It signifies we've accepted each other as one soul in two bodies. I sign the marriage paper and forward my hand with the pen. His gaze holds mine before returning to the paper. He holds it with a smile and signs it.
I'm his wife and he's my husband.
I sigh inwardly and gulp hard. I never imagined this day in my life. Here I'm wearing a bridal dress, gazing at my husband. All come at the same time to congratulate us. Mostly, I don't know them. So, I plaster my best smile and mutter thank you.
When he's busy talking to his brother. I use this opportunity to check him out. He is draped in a cream and golden threadwork sherwani teamed with the ivory shawl and golden safa with kalgi adornment
