CHAPTER 34

                                    

                                          
SECRET CEO'S POV:
It's our mehndi!!! how could I miss it though it was a little risky for my secrecy but for her it's all worthy. Her functions were arranged in the garden in front of my rooms balcony and as per my special request the decorations were done accordingly to not come in my view. 
It was already sunset the place was dimly light with fairylights and dj. To be extra conscious I switched off all the lights of my room. It was all dark no one could notice if there is someone or not......specially when everyone is busy in dancing their ass off. 
She was sitting in the center lost in her own thoughts. I know it's painful for her and looking at her vulnerable state is near to death for me too but it is the only way to save her from a life time of guilt, I sighed a deep breath knocking the room twice Aapi entered with a small cone of mehndi "Jii Aapi!" I turned towards her "Tu baad main dekh lena apni dulhan ko par pehle ye mehndi laga lo!" she switched on the light. 
Darkness was so peaceful but this sudden light is hurting just like our realities. "Is it necessary Aapi?" I blinked my eyes to set with the brightness. "No not necessary in our religion but in theirs it is considered auspicious or phir aapki begum bhi to ittne zulm seh rahi h aapke liye!" She replied sitting on bed.
"Zulm?" confussion and guilt was evident in my voice. "Aapko kya lagta h ittni saari mehndi laga ke ittni der tak seedhe baithna asan h? kamar dukh gai hogi aab tak to unki!" she explained. This was not what was going on my mind "How much I am hurting her Aapi!!! Isn't it being selfish??" I inhaled a sharp breath sitting next to her.
"You can never hurt her and it's an auspicious thing. There are so many and it does get sometimes uncomfortable and tiring but then it provides mental satisfaction!" she said all seriously "Aap mere hath pe bhi JAAN likh do or thodi si mehndi laga do!" She nodded cheerfully and started her work like a professional she wasn't. 
"Sit straight!!! It will get all messed up!" She shouted "I am tired Aapi, how long will it take to get dry??"  "Just 20 minutes more!" She said half asleep. It was too difficult for me to sit still for an hour. God knows how she is managing......with a little more bickering the mehndi finally dried. I looked towards Appi who had already doozed off shooking my head I lay too with a promise to fulfill all the rituals whole heartedly.
Next Morning
It's our wedding today, finally all the hard work will pay off. She will be mine till eternity. Finishing my morning chores I changed into a yellow kurta and went towards our side of lawn. As said they all applied a little haldi to me and sent the leftover haldi for her.
"Beta ab tum or tumhari begum mil nahi sakte ho to dhyaan rakhna!" Ammi said haa Aami jaise main use milne hi to jaa raha tha "Milna to dur dekhna bhi nahi h!" chachi added shyly. What's wrong with them kyu ye sab jale pe namak chidakne pe lage hue h??? 
"Even if I want I can't Ammi!" I muttered she kept her hand on my head carssening my hair "Everything will be alright beta!" I nodded in assurance. Ammi she can't see me but a little teasing won't be minded right??? 
They all started their music and dance "Bhai!!" my younger brother came running towards me I raised my brows he nodded with a teasing smile I smirked as he left. Taiyaar rahiyega begum main aa raha hu! 
She was alone in the corridor all drenched in haldi, all messed up but perfect at the same time. Yellow suits her!! What am I saying every colour suits her. She is the only one who can get me on my knees. I looked at one of the side table it has a bowl full of haldi as I wanted. This is my chance!!
I stood behind her closing her eyes with atmost care pushing her back to my chest to tighten my grip. She opened her mouth to shout for help maybe no darling you can't do that! We are so close and your one scream will create a ruckes here.
"Shhh.......I won't hurt you!" I whispered in her ears making my voice a little hoarse. She closed her little mouth. I attached her back to the nearby pillar with a sudden movement her breath hitched, her heart was pounding while the continuous up and downs of her breast distracted me. It's wrong to look at her like this without her consent, without her being aware of the truth but after my one assurance she didn't protested even a little.....has she accepted the secret ceo as her husband?? 
I have her in my arms, so close to me. I have seen her grow from distance from that chirpy little bird to a feircy lioness but there are many changes that could only been observed closely like that small mole on her lips which is not visible most of the time. 
I shifted my gaze to her face. Dipping my hand in haldi I rubbed it softly on her face, sloping down to her neck. My hand automatically stopped at her neckline it was taking all the bits of self control I had to stop me. She is a seductress and she don't have to even put efforts for it even the minute details about her are tempting. 
I placed my hand on her shoulder sliding it towards her wrist. She was shivering under my touch with goosebumps all over her body. My eyes fell on her stomach most of her body was already covered with haldi except for her stomach and nose. 
With a smirk I took some more of haldi applying it on her stomach softly. Her body vibrated with the touch, putting a little haldi on my nose I rubbed it with her little one
That's it I have to leave for now but in just some hours I will be back to take you with me forever. I loosened my grip and hid as soon as possible. She was still standing there looking here and there to find any clue about the man who got so close to her. 
She must have been angry or scared but her next action amused me she turned towards the mirror placed in corridor and placed one of her hand on her stomach and the other on her nose. She didn't had any expression. She was lost in somewhere but her actions were not disgust or uncomfortable ones. 
Did she like it, she wasnt uncomfortable right??? She left the corridor too engrossed in her thoughts. I looked at her retreating figure until it left my sight, taking a deep breath I went to take a bath and get ready after all it's our wedding!!
