"Mangalam bagawan vishnu Mangalam karudathwaja Mangalam kundari kaksha Mangalyaan thanohari..." the manthras which were said by the priest were ringing in the ears of both the vaadu[bride} and the var[groom]... "vaadu ke mang me sindurr bare" said the priest keeping the sindurr daani (a box containing vermilion) the shanaiya(band) were heard across the whole mandap ... the one to whom the task was said looked at the sindurr dani then his mother who smiled at him and then at his bride the one sitting beside him with dry tear cheeks and looking down ... the groom took a pinch of vermillion and brought the hand towards her(the bride) and filled her hair partion  of which fell on her nose while she closed her eyes knowing the significance of twhat happened and also knowing that whatever she thought would not happen and the happiness would not be in her life ... she opened her eyes when she felt a cold substance on her neck more than the cold thing she felt the cold stare on her and she looked at her now more than a half husband ( because the pheras are there ) meeting his eyes ,they had their eye contact for the first time after their engagement ,she looked directly in his eyes and he did the same while locking the mangalsutra around her neck and could see his were soft before being the same cold ones and she saw him sitting next to her again but her eyes did not leave him... "var vaadu phero ke liye kade hojay" again said the priest gesturing with his hands to bride and groom to stand up for the scared seven rounds taken during the marriage ceremony ... the groom stood up and extended his hand to his bride so that she could get up as her outfit was very heavy courtesy of her mother... standing up they both did their pheras while the both doing were thinking whether they can keep the promise they are making ? would they be able to at least survive this marriage ?
