It was Meghna’s wedding today and her parents Narayan & Sundari were in full swing looking after the arrangements. It’s their dearest angel’s wedding and they left no stone unturned and did their level best to make it the best.
Meghna slowly opened her eyes deep feeling that trickle of joy in every pore of her skin. Her eyes sparkled with love and she was already on cloud nine to get married to the man she loves deeply. She was looking forward for this moment just like any other girl for the past 5 months. "Within few hours I will be Vikram’s wife and I will be totally his and my happiness will be solely dependent on him", thought meghna. She smiled dreamily to herself and was caught blushing by Shwetha and her cousins Anuj and Aroop. They started singing,” Haule haule Ho jayega pyaar “ and started dancing.
They started making fun of her only to be driven away by Lalitha aunty. She exclaimed,” Meghna look at your Mehandi. Its so dark you lucky girl”. Ecstatic meghna thought that her life is going to e very beautiful and blissful every moment with Vikram. But destiny had some great plans for her.
She was taken for some haldi rituals and finally the bride was ready. The wedding was of Kerala style and would last for only one hour after which the bride and groom would directly proceed to the groom’ s home. Meghna was gorgeous in her blood red sari with golden border. Her braid was adorned with jasmine flowers. Meghna infact told a big no to make up done by a beautician instead insistited on doing it herself fearing caking up disasters. Right from the Revlon ivory white foundation & compact to bindi she took all efforts to look simple yet elegant on her happiest day of her life, atleast she imagined it to be. She was stunning like a heroine and even the videographer lost his breath for a second on seeing her. Meghna was led to her marriage hall from the dressing room after a light breakfast of idli, vada and kesari.
The marriage was held in Guruvayour temple and a reception was arranged in a banquet hall after the marriage. Meghna’s eyes became moist when she saw the sweat stained faces of her parents who felt unconditionally happy on seeing their daughter happy. Her amma told,” Ammu you are going to enter a v beautiful phase of life. Enjoy it every moment together with vikram. There will be misunderstandings but see to that it doesn’t affect the bond you both share.”Vikram was already seated in the groom’s place infront of the sacred fire. Meghna just froze seeing her beloved.
Vikram, a not so tall, average guy of 28 years is a self obsessed person with his own pre defined notion about life. All he had in his mind is to become the Chairman of Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), India, a premier national R&D organization. He was working as a scientist in National Chemical Laboratory, Pune for the past 5 years. Academically well qualified, he had an inexplicable quest and dedication for research and his complete world revolved around protons, neutrons and electrons.
No new movie, a hot chick in the pavement, latest gadgets,FB, whatsapp fascinated him. Infact he did not even upgrade his mobile in the past 10 years. His world is his dim lighted spacious room at the first floor of his bunglow where he lived with his widowed mom Kamalam.As soon as he comes from work at 9:00 PM he watches TV for sometime, eats dinner and gets back to his room and starts his research work.
When the alliance of meghna came, his mom persuaded him to meet her once and then decide as he was in no mood to get married . The day he met meghna he just looked at her once and though indecisive consented for the marriage. The type of person he was, he wanted to do research in everything and this time in the name of marriage. He never understood a real alive human being is ready to share her life with him unlike his chemicals that can be controlled by reactions. According to him Love and romance are the most over rated emotions that deviates a human concentration from his destiny and achievements so he gave no room to these feelings.
Meghna on the other hand is a die hard romantic who believed that love makes the world go around and she did believe that he would eventually come around assuming him to be a shy guy.Meghna ignored all the red flags that came her way that surfaced itself in a subtle way. She was too naïve to understand that this relationship was controlled by Vikram. He controlled her in everything from the dresses she wore, to the people she interacted with, to the places she went etc. When she expressed her views or protested, his anger and silent treatment broke her heart to pieces.
Still she loved him. That blind stupid love that has engulfed many only to spit them out into realm of pain and sufferings.
Vikram looked at Meghna and was stunned by her beauty. Lust dominated his feelings and it was nowhere near to real love. He tied the mangalsutra with the blessings of all around. Meghna got ready to live a life with vikram wholeheartedly throughout thicks and thins.
Staying alive is a blessing-Consolidated
