He dropped to his knees near my foot."Show me your foot," he said but I was hesitant."I said, sit down and show it to me. Which one? " He asked." This one," I said and he caught my ankle in his large hand and examined it." Oh, you have a terrible blister on your heel. It must be hurting a lot. Keep sitting here, I saw some medicines... "" Don't worry, I will treat myself. I have important medicines with me, I always carry them in my bag." I said." Hmm, like an efficient doctor. Let me get the bag and water for you.

"" Already?? "" Yes, we should start early, I want to get out of this damn forest as soon as possible. " He said and went out pushing away the blanket with impatience.I came out after him and gasped it was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. Being very tired, I could not appreciate the real beauty of the place but it actually took my breath away." Oh, my God!! It is so beautiful out here. I wish we could stay here for more time.

Gauravi's POVI took another step but it didn't land back at the right place, I lost my balance and landed in the middle of the river on my back.I surfaced coughing and choking on the water, blinded by the strands of my hair. Just then he came and dragged me to my feet." You fool, can't you simply follow my instructions? " He scolded me." No!! " I pushed my hair away from my eyes." Why do you always have to do just the opposite of what I say?" He asked." I will not follow your instructions!! " I said in a fit of anger that was panting up inside me." Why? It is not difficult.

Gauravi's POV" Well, if this ghost is a girl, I will use my charm on it. According to girls I am extremely handsome. So I can handle her. And if it is a male ghost, you can try your charm... Though you are not that bad, it is difficult in your case. Well, we won't have any other options. Try being nice to him, at least, and who knows, he might let us share the house with him. Or if he doesn't get impressed by your charm... which is quite possible, as the charm is actually lacking in your personality, you can even try saying that he resembles your brother, he might get emotional and tolerate you. Don't irritate the ghost, like you do with everyone around you. Wait.... On second thoughts, do irritate him a lot, and he won't bother us once he gets to know how irritating you are. " He said with a serious expression." Are you making fun of me?? " I asked." No, not at all!! I know how capable you are... You can even drive a ghost crazy if you want to... Actually, you should try irritatin

Maurvi's POVAfter some of the rituals, Gautam said that he was very tired and wanted to sleep, but everyone laughed and started teasing him and the girls were also whispering naughty things to me making me blush even more.After some time I was sent to a room which was decorated beautifully with flower strings and aroma candles were lit there. There were rose petals scattered all over the place ... and were also on the bed in the shape of a heart.Oh God!!! It all was making things so obvious... my face was red as flower petals. I could not even imagine myself sitting there like it is shown in the movies so I kept standing there in the middle of the room. I was just too nervous.

Gautam's POVWe reached there at the venue with Baraat. Uncle and aunty welcomed us. I got down the white wedding mare. Aunty welcomed me with an Aarti platter.

Once the groom entered the house of the bride on the wedding day, the bride's mother washes his feet with honey, curd, milk, ghee and sugarI personally never liked this custom. I didn't know what was the logic or the story behind it. But I refused to let aunty do this custom.I am just like her son... So it should be me who should be doing it not the other way around. She was as old as my mom and I could not let her wash my feet. So I refused to let her do that to me I washed my feet on my own. I didn't care if someone felt that I was trying to be some kind of reformer. I did what I felt was right.Then we were taken to the huge s
