Betrothed from Birth

Chapter 3

MYRA'S POV

My wedding is in three days. I don't want to do this. All day long I had a sad expression on me. Later that day, I went shopping. I chose a red saree as my wedding dress. I really don't care how I look cause I hate this marriage.

To be honest, I am scared and I really can't believe I am getting married in 3 days and that too when I am only 18 yrs old but I have to do this for my parents. They must have a good reason to get me married at this age. I just really hope that the guy will allow me to go to school, dance and singing classes.

THE NEXT DAY

My mom woke me early saying that today is my haldi function. Every one of my relatives came and applied turmeric on my face, hands, and legs but first my soon to be mother-in-law applied turmeric on my face. Everybody was teasing me. I would have loved those teasing if I was getting married willingly.

In the evening, everybody was dancing and singing. I want to dance and sing too but my mom told me first I had to put mehendi on my hands and legs.

That night I cried so much and slept.

KIAAN'S POV

On the wedding day.

Today has got to be the worst day of my life. I am getting married to that little girl. Ughh! I hate her so much. Why can't she just reject the marriage?

My mother woke me up early in the morning and kicked me in the bathroom. I took my bath and wore my wedding dress. By the time I got ready, everyone was waiting for me to go to the marriage hall.

We all went to the marriage hall and I sat in front of the holy fire. I did as the priest told me with a big frown on my face. Pretty soon, the priest asked my soon to be mother-in-law to bring the girl.

I was frowning even more. I don't want to get married at 28 but I have to do it.

I tilted my head to the side and my mouth hung open. Right in front of me is the most beautiful girl in this world. She wore a red saree and was coming towards the mandap. I can't believe that she looks so beautiful but I have to make her life a living hell.

She sat beside me and I tied the mangalsutra on her neck. Then we walked around the holy fire 7 times. Our marriage is now completed. I hate this so much.

Soon the whole wedding was over and it was time to go home.

She was crying very badly in her parent's arms. I felt a bit bad for her as she was only a little girl.

MYRA'S POV

I got married to the guy. I got to know that his name was Kiaan. Now, we have to go to my parents-in-law's house.

I started crying so badly because I don't want to leave my parents yet. I want to spend more time with them but I have to do this for them.

Pretty soon, we went to my parents-in-laws house. My mother-in-law told me to do some rituals before entering the house as their daughter-in-law.

I made some milk and my mom (mother-in-law) showed me Kiaan's room. I stood outside of his room trying to calm my nerves before entering his room.

Finally, I entered his room. It looked so big and beautiful but Kiaan's face looked so scary.
