Reception

Next Day Mrinal made food for everyone. She wanted to feed them her handmade food though she was asked not to do so. She even didn't allow the workers to help her. She softly smiled at them and said ‘You people were family Abhi when he has no one except Devika and Vishal. And for us you people are family. So I wanted to make you eat my handmade food.' Rima and Isha also wanted to help her but she denied. But someone was more stubborn than her. It was none other than her husband. He did half of her work saying ‘We are equal halves and now so I will do half of the work. ‘ Both of them prepared food and served breakfast. Looking at him nobody can say that this man didn't sleep last night. Taking the opportunity of his absence some stupid rival of Abhay from underworld tried to sell some girls in a nearby red light area. But they couldn't be successful. It was Robin who went with him last night in a red light area of Kolkata. He was amazed looking at him. In the lunch they were asked to perform the ritual of Bhaat kapor. The husband has to gift a sari to new bride and has to take a vow of taking the responsibility of the bride's basic needs ("Bhaat Kapor" - literally meaning food & dress). Abhay gifted her a beautiful saree along with a plate containing all Bengali dishes and gave it to her. ‘I know you are capable of taking responsibility of yourself even you can take care of me. I want to take responsibility of your everything Mira. I am taking all responsibility of yours. Not only the responsibility of your basic needs but also treat you like my queen.' Mrinal knew he meant his every words. She took all the things from him wholeheartedly and kept it on the table. She bent down to touch his feet but he stopped her. He kissed her temple and said ‘We are equal Mira don't touch my feet.' They both were blessings for each other. ***************************** Mrinal got ready in a beautiful peach coloured lehenga which she designed by herself for her reception. She got ready with the help of same beautician. She tried to keep her as simple as possible. ‘You know what Mrs. Shekhawat your daughter – in – law is so pretty that make up is not even needed.' Said the aunty. ‘I know she is beautiful from inside and outside.' She giggled and kissed Mrinal's forehead. Soon somebody knocked on the door. Devika opened the door to see Adi and Barsha standing with Abhay. Abhay was looking very handsome in his sherwani designed by his pretty wife. He was looking at the angel in front of him. Peach coloured lehenga, hair partition filled with red vermilion, hands and feet covered with alta, her Shakha and Paula, her Mangalsutra , deep khol on her innocent eyes made her more beautiful, heavenly beautiful. His trance broke as Adi and Barsha shouted her name. ‘MONI!!!!!!!!!!' Both of them shouted and went to her. She hugged them happily. The reception party was arranged in the lawn of new Singh Raizada Mansion ‘MRINAL'. The lawn was really decorated beautifully. The red and white roses added more beauty in lightening. The stage was huge and beautifully decorated. Soon guests started coming. Abhay's business partners were also invited. Whole Chatterjee family were there. There was tight security for their safety. Paparazzi was there to take photos of the newlywed couple. Abhay didn't left her hands ‘I am sorry but it was impossible to stop them Baby.' Abhay made sure that nobody dares to ask any stupid question. ‘It's ok Abhi. With you I am fine everywhere.' Their hands were intertwined. Abhay was always by her side. Her heavy lehenga and high heels made him more conscious. As the couple settled down on the couch Vishal took hold on the mike. ‘Hello ladies and gentleman, first of all thank you for making this function for joyful with your presence. I know you all know about our son Abhay Singh Raizada got married one year back with his love of life Mrinal Chatterjee. Today we are introducing you all with our apple of eye, brightness of our family, queen of Singh Raizada Empire Mrinal Chatterjee Singh Raizada.' Everyone was coming and congratulating the couples. Vishal and Robin carefully handled the guests. All the workers were also enjoying the programme as they hired many people for the reception so that they can enjoy it. Abhay got a call and said ‘Baby I am coming in few minutes. Some special guests are here.' Mrinal nodded her head in yes. She was sitting with her family members. Adi, Barsha and Adith were talking and laughing each other. Rima and Isha were there also. Devika was also talking with ladies of Chatterjee family. All the men of Chatterjee family were also busy with Vishal and Robin. Mridul and Mihir were also there with Robin. Soon Mrinal heard a familiar voice calling her ‘Mira Mom' and she looked at the entrance. It was her and Abhay's children not by blood but by love, by choice.' They were definitely their special guests. Abhay made sure so that they don't feel uncomfortable. She smiled warmly and soon she was engulfed in warm hugs. They all congratulated their Mira Mom and Abhi Papa. She was very happy looking at their happy face. Though Abhay provided them with everything but they didn't get the love of their families. For them family is Abhi, Mira, Vishal, Devika, the aunties to take care of them and themselves. After cake cutting ceremony it was time for couple dance. Mridul asked them for a couple dance. All the people cheered them. Abhay wanted to deny as the high heel will definitely hurt her but Mrinal stopped him ‘Abhi everyone wants us to dance. Let it be. I will be okay.' The little kids were excited to see them dancing just like king and queen of fairy tales. ‘But Mira it will hurt your legs.' ‘I will manage Abhi. Let's go.' ‘As my baby wish. I will be careful. Come.' Abhay offered his hand to Mrinal and she accepted it gladly. Both were on the dance floor. Abhay hold her left hand in his and his right hand was on her back. Mrinal's right hand was his chest. They started dancing with the music. ‘You are looking divinely beautiful.' ‘Thank you Abhi and you know you look handsome as always.' As Abhay twirled her flowers started falling on them. She was smiling brightly and Abhay was busy praising her every features. ********************** Abhay and Mrinal had dinner with family members. Every types of cuisine were present there. All the kids left for the house in Kolkata where they will stay tonight. After biding good bye Chatterjee family left. Soon Mrinal was taken to their room. The bed was beautifully decorated with flowers. Many types of scented candles were placed here and there in the room giving it a romantic feel. It was their wedding night. Abhay didn't waste a single second. He was eagerly waiting to held her in his arms and kiss her sensuously. He entered inside the room. Their room was looking different. The candles and floral decoration totally changed its looks. Abhay came near her and sat beside her. He gently took her hands in his hands and kissed it. He pulled up the veil which was covering her gorgeous face. ‘You are my gorgeous Baby.' She smiled shyly. Today is their wedding night. She was little bit nervous but she knew that her Abhi will never do something to make her uncomfortable. Abhi caressed her face with his fingers. ‘I love you Mira. I don't know what good things I did that I got you.' ‘I love you too Abhi.' These few words make him feel blessed. He softly kissed her temple. He got up from the bed and brought something from the drawer. He gave it to Mrinal as a gift. Mrinal opened it and it was a beautiful tiara. She loved the diamond tiara which was simple yet elegant. ‘Thank you Abhi.' ‘You're welcome baby.' He said and kissed her cheeks and then her lips. She responded too. Soon it turned into a hot and passionate one. He dominated the kiss and explored her mouth. ‘You taste heavenly Baby.' She smiled nervously. He didn't break the kiss until he found her breathless. Breaking the kiss, he said ‘Mira go and change.' She stopped him and said ‘You don't need to wait Abhi umm..' She knew how patiently he waited for her. ‘Baby we have a lot of times. You are still young. Don't think too much.' ‘I am old enough Abhi. That time I wasn't in love with you but now I am. You don't need to stop yourself.' He cupped her face ‘Baby I am so happy that you are ready to be mine in every possible way tonight but I want to wait. Okk.' She nodded her head. She went to the vanity and started removing the jewelleries in front of vanity mirror. Abhay went to change inside the restroom. She removed her all jewelleries. Abhay came out after changing into comfortable cloths and saw her struggling with her hair. He went near her and started helping her. He removed all the hairpins carefully. When he was done he said ‘It's done Mira.' She mumbled a thank you and went inside the restroom to change but forget to bring her pyjamas. It was more than 10 minutes but she didn't come out. Abhay went towards the restroom and knocked on door. ‘Baby what happened? Aren't you done?' She was still struggling with the top of her lehenga from last 10 minutes. He hands couldn't reach the back of her dress. She felt too shy to call Abhay for help. But she can't sleep in this dress. She opened the door and said ‘Abhi I .. I can't open the strings of my top. Umm choti ma must be sleeping. I think I have to sleep like this.' ‘Baby I am here only to help you. And you can't sleep like this. Come I will help you.' Her cheeks reddened ‘No I will manage like this.' ‘Mira you trust me na?' He asked directly looking in her eyes. ‘More than myself.' She replied looking at his eyes directly. ‘Then come and let me help you.' He took her inside the restroom. He started opening the strings of her top. His hands were brushing on her back. Her skin was very soft and mostly to his rough hands. He was losing himself slowly. She was shivering in his touch. She felt his minty breaths on her bare shoulder. Their closeness was affecting both of them. As he opened all the strings her back was visible to her. He slowly kissed her back. She clutched her top on her chest more tightly. He moved her hairs in one side and kissed her neck and then her shoulder. Slowly he trailed kisses on her whole back sensuously. She shivered more feeling his lips on her bare back ‘Abhii' but she didn't feel uncomfortable. She felt good but it was all new to her. He came back to his sense hearing her angelic voice and understood what he was doing. He didn't want to lose himself. He already told her that he will wait. It was also new for him but he always loves to being near her. *C.O.N.T.R.O.L.* He said to himself. And finally he controlled himself. ‘Baby it's done. I will be waiting outside. You change ok.' She said a small yes and then she remembered ‘Abhi I forgot to take my cloths. Can you give it to me?' ‘Just a minute Baby.' He went to her side of closet to get her cloths and took her cloths. He went to the restroom and gave it her. She quickly changed into her pyjamas. She came out and saw Abhay was waiting for her on bed. She laid on bed and moved to his side. He wrapped his arm around he as she snuggled more into his chest. She was really tired and starting to doze of as soon as she put her head on his secure arm. But suddenly Abhay got up. She didn't like it as she was getting warmth of him embrace peacefully in his arm. ‘What happened Abhi?' ‘Nothing Baby. I need to put ointment on your feet. Those stupid high heels injured you a lot.' He went to drawer and take out the ointment from first aid box. He was about to apply it Mrinal tried to stop him. But Abhay cut her off ‘Baby I know you can apply but I will apply it only.' She sighed and he applied the ointment on the red marks of her feet. After it was done they settled on the bed and soon slipped into each other's arms. Abhay didn't forget to kiss her temple and peck her lips before dozing off. ******************************** ********************************
