" And now you have to take seven rounds around the fire." The priest said with a longing appreciation on his face. " Someone tie the knot please. " I looked up at our mothers smiling at each other. And Kiyansh's mom holding one side and my mom holding mine. " Finally " Kiyansh's mother grinned and they both tie the knot with the end of our clothes. I couldn't look at Kiyansh. Something inside my chest was contrasting and I was scared of what he would see, he would know. " Thank you. Now you can make the seven rounds 'Satapdi' " The priest said indicating to me first then Kiyansh. " See I get to lead " I winked at Kiyansh and he smiled at me. His eyes shining like the glowing sandalwood in the fire. We took the seven rounds every step encompassing something tightly inside me.
