Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (animal farm read .txt) 📗

His ears are also turned into a light shade of pink.

I looked here and there except him and tucked a strand behind my ear.

"I was...I came here..." I was not able to complete the sentence and walked out of the room in rush due to embarrassment. I'll gave keerti some other earrings or came here later when Siddharth will not be in room.

........................................................................

We all left the house around 9.30 a.m. for temple. I deliberately avoid Siddharth due to what happened in morning. But I can feel his heated gaze on me.

Due to diwali every temple, market and shops are decorated with lights and garlands but the demerits of festivals are lot of traffic on roads, rush in the market and crowded shops. Temples are also crowded in festival days more than usual.

First we go to the shiv temple which is two block away from our house, then wo go to hari temple and last we went to narayan temple.

Narayan temple is one of the most famous temple in Saharanpur because of its interior , and there is saying in narayan temple that if anyone tie red cloth on tree then her or his wish will come true soon.

Keerti, Anshul and everyone are in the other section of temple while I and Siddharth are together.

"There is saying that if you wish something and tie red cloth on tree's branch your wish will come true." I said softly like a whisper while walking towards the tree where so many clothes are already tied.

I don't believe in much religious things but there are few things I believed which gave you a positive vibes and calm your heart. Siddharth and I walking beside each other.

"Do you believe in this." Sid asked me looking at me.

"Few things are meant to be believe." I whispered.

I and Siddharth both looked at each other with intense eyes. There are so much emotions in our eyes which I can't describe and we both keep looking at each other with those emotions in our eyes and talked each other with them. There is alway a glistening in our eyes whenever we both look each other with that emotions.

I turn my head, closed my eyes and joint my hand for praying.

Whenever I came here I don't know what to ask you but today I want to ask you something.

The man standing beside me give him everything which he asked for.

He is the first person with whom I feel carefree and careless but he is also the reason of my increasing heart beats. He is the reason of my smile.

I love to care for him. A smile came on my face when I saw smile on his handsome face. My heart beats go insane whenever he came close to me. I want to do everything which makes him happy. I feel very lucky to have him. Please make Siddharth happiest person in the world. Give my happiness to him and make his all sorrow mine.

I opened my eyes slowly and looked to my right. Siddharth is also praying while joining his both hands. He look very innocent while praying. I don't know what he ask from God but I want his all wishes comes true.

His slowly opened his eyes after praying and turn to look at me. We both share a small but warm smile.

I took a red cloth and try to pull the tree's branch but I couldn't reach it due to my height. I jumped but fails. I jumped again but only a leaf come in my hand. I groaned in frustration.

I heard a chuckle from my right side. I turn my head and saw Siddharth chucking looking at me. I realized what I did in front of him. My cheeks are red due to embarrassment.

"Let me help you." He walk towards me and pull the branch easily and hold it for me. When I raised my hand to tie the cloth he left it. I looked at him confusingly and the next moment he leaned and lift me up by my feet.

"Now it's better. " he said with a smirk.

"Siddharth...what are you doing? Put me down. Someone sees us." I said while looking around. Some people looking at us in awe.

"Let them see." He said.

"Please put me down everyone is watching us." I said.

"Preeti... we are doing nothing wrong. I have my wife in my arms and I have every right to hold her everywhere and anywhere." He said intensely looking up at me.

"But what will everyone says?" I said while putting my both hands on his shoulders to balance myself.

"Don't think about everyone and soon you tie cloth, soon I put you down, otherwise I don't have a problem to holding you like that." He grinned in amusement.

I took a red cloth and tie it around the branch and gestured Siddharth through my eyes to put me down. He slowly put me down and make me stand at my own feet.

"God you are so heavy. My hands are aching." He said rubbing his arms.

I look at him with wide eyes.

"What...? I am that heavy? " I asked shockingly.

"Relax baby... I was just joking. " He chuckle at my face expression.

I pout.

"Do that again when we will alone." He lean closer to me and whispered in my ear.

He pulled back and ran his fingers in his silky dark hair.

I blushed hard and bit my lower lip at this nick name which he is given to me. This is the first time, he called me baby. I look at him and he is looking at my lips intensely. I lick my lower lip unintentionally. He gulped the lump under his throat while looking at my lips. We both looking into each other's eyes for a while until his phone started ringing and pulled us from each other's intense gaze.

"You go ahead with others. I'll join you later. I have to take this." He said while looking at his phone and then me.

I nodded my head and walk from there.

Today is more rush in temple than other days. I couldn't find my family. It seems like I lost because there so many entrance and exit gates. People are pushing each other while walking and run on each other. When I didn't find someone from my family I started walking towards where we parked our cars.
