Kanpur 7:30 pm in the evening..Today the whole Mishra family was blomming up with happiness as it was the wedding of their only daughter in the house. The whole surrounding was filled with lots of people working here and there. Some were busy doing the decorations while others were into different works.The head of the family was Mr Jagat Prakash Mishra. It was his daughter's wedding only today and the girl was none other than Vaishali herself.Vaishali Mishra as I have mentioned earlier, she is a very bubbly and happy go lucky who always believes in spreading happiness to others and is always very kind towards the others. Recently she had complied her graduation from Delhi University.After graduation she had a dream to work somewhere but her father did not agree to this and finally one day he arranged her alliance with an NRI boy. Hence today was her wedding with that boy.Mr Mishra was very happy today as it was his daughter's wedding today which he had been dreaming of since she was born. He was looking after all the guests who came to attend the wedding. In the meantime his younger brother Ram Prakash arrived there and saidRamPrakash: Bhaiya....a few minutes back I got a call from the groom's side and they informed me that they will be arriving here in sometime. Jagat Prakash: Fine then let them come....we will also be fully prepared and yes tell your wife to be ready along with the aarti because she is the one who will welcome the groom in place of Vaishali's mother. I wish we were alive to do this ritual.O sorry I forgot to inform you that Vaishali had a joint family where she her father her uncle, aunt and brother used to stay together. Her mother died a few years back.Coming back to the story, after sometime the bhaarat arrives there. Vaishali's aunt does the welcoming ritual and once she is done she brings them inside.Vaishali's family then bought the groom along with them and made him sit in the mandop while the guests who came along with the groom sat in the audience seat. Pandit ji was also there and when the groom sat he started the rituals. On the other hand Vaishali was sitting in front of the dressing mirror of her room. She did not have any kind of expressions on her face. No one could guess whether she was happy or sad. There were some other girls too who were sitting on the bed along with her best friend Shivangi who came to her and said Shivangi: Btw madam...did you hear that baarat has already arrived?Vaishali: Hmm...Shivangi did not understand Vaishali's answer so she came towards her and asked backShivangi: Vaishu, why am I feeling that you are not happy with this marriage...did anything happen?Vaishu: Nothing like that Shivu....who told you that I'm not happy...I never said that.Shivangi: I know that you never said anything but your expressions are indicating.Vaishali: Nothing like that yaar...your thinking too much.In the meantime Chachi ji arrives there and tells them Chachiji: Ohh girls....what are you doing here just by sitting? Pandit ji is calling Vaishu downstairs so bring her fast.Shivangi: Coming....Chachi ji...Chachiji went back and soon Shivangi and the rest of the girls bought Vaishali downstairs and then made her sit beside the groom. Pandit ji soon started with the rest of the rituals.What do you think was Vaishali really happy and fine with this marriage? Or was something else there? Let's see.
