Aashna sat in front of the mirror at her dressing table. She was all decked up, but her mind was restless.
Just then her mother came in, "Aashna, it's time darling...." As she walked out to the ceremonial mandap, all eyes were on her. There was a storm brewing in her mind though.
Being an arranged marriage, she had hardly got any time to get to know Varun. Everything had happened in such a hurry.
As they walked around the holy pyre to complete their pheras, she was totally absorbed in her own apprehensions..... But he read her eyes.
He held her hand gently, "Dont worry Aashna. I promise you in front of this holy pyre, that I will always be there for you. Through thick and thin, through ups and downs, through sickness and health. I will be your friend, soulmate..."
The lines of worry on her face disappeared!!!
