Like a Phoenix from the Ashes

Chapter 4

After the conversation and the message exchange between us, a thought of Shubham being kind of dominating sat strongly in my mind. He always used to take a tone with me, which made me to think that I should change myself and be the type who would make him feel happy and would satisfy him with my behaviour. I gradually started reducing the number of times I would text him or even call him from then on.

We both became busy with the wedding preparations. It was hardly once or twice a day that we spoke to or even texted one another, and when we did so, our conversation would always be about what purchasing was done that day, what and all preparations were done that day and so on. He normally used to be in contact with my dad and Arun and discuss about the wedding arrangements regarding the floral decoration, stage settings, and menu for the day and so on.

Somehow days and weeks and even months went by and the wedding day finally arrived. We all left to the venue, which was also the same, where we got engaged. We booked a hotel near the venue and reached a day before the wedding day.

The Present Day

“Aanya, someone is here”, Rashi calling continuously woke me up from my train of thoughts.

“Who is it Rashi? Did you check?” I replied.

“No Aanya, guess someone is here to meet the bride. Why don’t you go check yourself?” Rashi suggested.

I got down from my bed and corrected by PJs and slowly headed towards the door of our hotel room. There was again slight knock on the door, which suggested that the person on the other side is one of my cousins. I slowly opened the door and put my head out to check who is on the other side. Two little heads peeped towards me and gave me a shy smile. By then I understood that there are at least 4 to 5 of my little maternal cousins present there, and have left the little one to do the knocking work. I slowly opened the door and stood near the entrance to the room with both the hands on my either waist.

Slowly a head peeked from the nearby wall and there came my little cousin Lisha and her little brother Barun. My other cousins Kush, Kanik, Aditi and Charvi slowly started coming out from their hiding places. All belonged to different ages and Kush was the team head. They were all here because they felt bored in the wedding venue. They then started with their infinite questions regarding my bridal wear, my preparations, and so on. After spending some time with me and Rashi, they all left to get ready for the lunch and also for the rituals that will be starting in the evening.

My cousin and also Rashi’s sibling Krishya brought lunch for both me and Rashi to our room. Everyone else was busy in doing some or the other work in the wedding arrangements, and so Krishya made it her mission to take care of us both.

Guests started pouring one after another into our room with the reason of meeting me, the bride, and so it became very difficult for us to have our lunch peacefully. Somehow we managed to have our lunch amidst the ruckus and disturbances that was filled inside the room. After chatting for some time with all of us, everyone left to their respective staying arrangements, so as to get ready for the rituals that would start at around 5.30pm in the evening.

I thought of resting for a while, but couldn’t do so because of the constant discussions and chatting that was going on all around me. I got up and went to restroom and had a slow and relaxing shower. I pulled my bathrobe and wrapped myself with it and stepped into the room. Everyone stopped talking and left the room and let me get ready peacefully. Krishya helped with draping my saree in the traditional way and Rashi helped me with my makeover.

It was around 4.30pm and I got a call from Shubham. I was really shocked to see his name flashing on my mobile screen and picked the call. He was really frustrated for some reason and started scolding with “f**k” language to the priest, who gave us the timings to reach the wedding venue. I was really taken aback by his accusations and also with the language that he was using for the priest.

The phone call really made me feel yuck about the guy who was going to be my husband. Whenever his topic or even his name came around me, there was something that restricted me from feeling the flutters and butterflies in the stomach, which every bride normally feels with the mention of the name of her soon-to-be-husband. I guess this was also a kind of sign that was suggesting me to think again before proceeding further with the wedding.

I got rid of the weird and not-so-good feeling about the wedding and my future life with Shubham and went on with all the rituals that took place in the next two days of the wedding. Somehow, everything went as smoothly as possible and it was time to bid farewell to my family. I was really feeling sad, but didn’t show it because I didn’t want my dad or Arun to feel sad. We all entered into Shubham’s car and went our way towards his house.

Shubham’s whole family was waiting for our arrival and as I entered into the house, I saw every eyes falling on me. I felt really nervous and Shubham was nowhere to help me to ease the feeling. I felt really sad and entered the house. I was shown to his room and I went and relaxed on the bed. I was really tired and sat there staring at blank for what seemed to be hours.

Shubham entered the room and asked me to get changed into something comfortable. There was a ritual where we were supposed to drink a glass of milk and have some fruits that are placed on the table inside the room. We changed into our PJs and started talking about some casual topics. It was almost 3 in the morning and we thought about sleeping, as we both were tired from the past two days.

Little did we know that our body was not ready to drift off to sleep? It was the first time I was in bed with someone, especially a male, and my body became hot with the presence near me. I turned towards the other side of the bed, facing opposite to him. I feel the bed shake and found a hand draping me in the embrace.

Shubham slowly moved forward and kissed me gently on my shoulder blade, then collarbone and it continued towards my neck, cheek and temple. My body was reacting weirdly to this touch as it was all new to me. I slowly turned and saw his face dangerously close to my face. I gently pressed my lips to his cheek and taking this as a signal, he crashed his lips onto mine. The kiss started slow and sensual and became hotter and erotic, as our moans filled the room. His hands slowly started moving down towards my cheeks, neck, and shoulder and on my breasts. He slowly unbuttoned my PJ shirt and slid his hand in my bra. He started kneading my right bosom while kissing my neck, shoulder and collarbone. His mouth started moving down and he started biting my erect n*****s. I arched my back so as to remove my shirt and it reached the floor and so did his shirt. He then slowly removed my bra and held my breast in one hand while playing with the other.

Moans started escaping my mouth when he slowly reached towards my stomach. He then gently removed my PJ shorts and let it join our shirts on the floor. His hands started playing with the elastic of my panties while his mouth never left my n*****s. He looked into my eyes and was looking for the permission to proceed further. When I nodded gently, he took it as my “yes” and pushed his hand further into my private area and started playing with my slits. The more he groaned and I moaned, the more I started becoming creamy down there. He smirked when his fingers came in contact with the wetness, and put his finger inside me. I gasped as it was the first time and he looked at me for a while. He then put his other finger and started doing his magic down there. This went on for a while till my insides started becoming tight around his fingers. He took it as a sign that I’m almost towards my climax and started kneading my slit with his thumb. His finger movements became vigorous and I held his biceps tightly when I’m about to explode. His movements became much faster and with that I exploded around his fingers, while my mind went blank and my eyes started seeing stars around me.

I slowly looked down to look into his eye and was met with his dark orbs suggesting the level of his lust, and without wasting any time he removed the remaining pieces of fabric on his body and positioned himself on me. He hesitated for a while and I asked him whether he has a condom with him. He looked at me and asked whether I’m not ready for a family yet. I said no and he quickly got off of me. I started thinking that my answer might have made him angry. He went towards his drawer and took out a condom and put it on his member, who was standing erect. He then re-positioned against my opening and started kissing me. He gently pushed inside me, while looking me in the eye. I gasped and he asked me to breathe as he was allowing me to get adjusted to his member. I nodded my head when I was ready and that is when he gently started moving back and forth. I will be lying if I said it was not painful, but it then turned to pleasure as his movements became faster. We started syncing into each other’s rhythm and it became more and more vigorous as we both reached our climax. With some faster movements, we both climaxed at the same time and he slowly fell on me resting his head in my shoulder. He gently flipped on his side to lie down on his back on the mattress and pulled me to snuggle. I giggled and hugged his chest and we both drifted off to the dreamland within no time.

--------MATURE CONTENT ENDED-----------------

I woke up at around 6am and left to the washroom and completed my morning procedures. I took a relaxing shower to relax my thighs that were sore from the early morning’s activities, and draped myself with a saree and went outside the room. Everyone was busy doing some or the other work and also chatting about some stuff. They wished me Good Morning and my day started as usual.

We spent almost a week in Shubham’s place and decided to leave to Noida the next day. I packed all my stuffs and prepared myself for the departure to our life after the marriage. I knew that there will be many changes that we both should make in our life, since we were not single adults anymore and were married couple.
