Post wedding rituals


The wedding celebrations had finally come to an end.

After days of mehendi, haldi, sangeet, endless dancing, laughter, teasing, rituals, relatives, photographs and the grand wedding itself, Kim Jeon Mansion had finally entered its post-wedding phase.

But if anyone thought the mansion would become peaceful now...

They were very, very wrong.

Because two newly married couples had entered the house.

And the biggest problem wasn't the newlyweds.

It was their husbands.

Both Jungkook and Suga had discovered an extremely painful truth after marriage-

Having a wife was easy. Getting five uninterrupted minutes with that wife in a joint family was nearly impossible.

Especially when the entire family had apparently decided that Taehyung and Jimin belonged to everyone except their husbands.

MORNING AFTER THE WEDDING

The mansion looked breathtaking.

Fresh marigold garlands decorated the entrance. Strings of jasmine flowers hung from the balconies. Diyas flickered near the main doorway, while the entire mansion smelled of sandalwood, rose petals and freshly prepared sweets.

The newlyweds were supposed to have a peaceful morning.

Instead-"Tae!"

Jungkook's voice echoed through the hallway.

Taehyung, who was sitting beside Jimin while getting ready for the morning rituals, immediately looked toward the door.

Her lips curved into a tiny smile.

Jimin noticed.

She immediately whispered-

Jimin-: Don't smile like that. Your husband is going to become even more shameless.

Taehyung tried controlling her laughter.

Tae-: What about your husband?

Jimin rolled her eyes.

Jimin-: He's worse.

From outside came another voice.

Suga-: Jimin!

Jimin immediately froze.

She looked at Tae.

Tae looked at Jimin.

Both girls exchanged the same expression.

Here we go again.

Jin entered the room holding two sarees.

Jin-: Girls, dono neeche aao.... Sb tumdono ka wait krrhe hai....

Tae stood up.

Jimin followed.

But before either girl could reach the door, Jungkook appeared.

His eyes immediately went to Tae.

And stopped.

She looked absolutely beautiful.

Her post-wedding appearance was simple yet elegant-a traditional outfit, delicate jewellery, sindoor, mangalsutra and the soft glow that had settled over her face after the wedding.

Jungkook completely forgot why he had come.

Jungkook-:{ inner voice} haaye mera bchcha kita sunder hai.... Mnn krrha hai abhi isko pura khaa jau.... She's looking like whole course meal.....

He simply stared.

Tae raised an eyebrow.

Tae-: aisa kya dekh rheho

Jungkook smiled innocently.

Jungkook-: Nothing.

Jimin whispered-

Jimin-: yeh bs tujhe aise ghurne aaya hai.....

Jungkook immediately looked at his sister.

Jungkook-: naah.... Mom bula rhi hai..... Toh chlo

Suga appeared behind him.

Suga-: Liar. You came to see your wife.

Jungkook looked offended.

Jungkook-: And you came here for what?

Suga folded his arms.

Suga-: My wife.

Jimin's cheeks immediately turned pink.

Tae burst out laughing.

Tae-: You both are impossible.

Jin looked between her sons and sighed.

Jin-: Enough. Both of you go downstairs.

Jungkook looked at Tae again.

Jungkook-: But-

Jin-: now

Jungkook-: Okay.

He reluctantly left.

Suga followed.

But the moment they stepped into the hallway, Suga whispered-

Suga-: abay.... Control bhai control.... Ab voh teri hi hai.... tu toh usko aise dekh rha hai jaisa lgta hai aankhon se hi khaa jayega meri behn ko....

Jungkook-: khaa hi toh rha hoo

Suga-: kya bola

Jungkook-: kuch nhi.....

Suga-: Pathetic

Jungkook looked at him.

Jungkook-: You're literally the same.

Suga-: I have standards.

Jungkook-: You were staring at Jimin for thirty seconds.

Suga became silent.

Suga-: Shut up.

SATYANARAYAN BHAGWAAN KI KATHA

Soon, the entire family gathered in the beautifully decorated prayer hall.

A large mandap had been prepared in the centre.

Fresh flowers surrounded the sacred space. A kalash filled with water stood beside the idol of Lord Satyanarayan, decorated with mango leaves and coconut. Plates filled with fruits, sweets, flowers, tulsi leaves, incense and traditional offerings were arranged neatly.

The priest began preparing everything for the puja.

The newly married couples sat together.

Taekook on one side.

Yoonmin on the other.

Jungkook sat beside Tae.

Suga sat beside Jimin.

For approximately thirty seconds, both husbands were happy.

Then the priest started explaining the ritual.

And suddenly-

Jungkook realized that he couldn't even hold Tae's hand properly because everyone was sitting around them.

He looked at Tae.

She noticed.

She quietly smiled.

Under the edge of the puja cloth, her fingers slowly moved toward his.

Their little fingers touched.

Jungkook immediately looked down.

Tae gently intertwined her finger with his.

His expression softened.

For a few moments, everything around them disappeared.

No family.

No guests.

No rituals.

Just them.

Jungkook whispered so quietly that only Tae could hear-

Jungkook-: Finally.

Tae smiled.

Tae-: What finally?

Jungkook-: I got to hold my wife's hand.

Tae suppressed her laugh.

Tae-: You're acting like you haven't seen me for years.

Jungkook-: Feels like years.

Tae's cheeks warmed.

On the other side, Suga was facing the exact same problem.

Suga (whispering)-: Yeh puja kitni der chalegi?

Jimin( whispering back)-: mini 1 ghnta

Lisa sitting nearby giggled.

The priest asked the couple to hold the puja thali together.

Suga leaned closer to Jimin.

Suga-: I want to spend some quality time with you.....

Jimin -: abhi nhi.... Baad mei....

Suga-: arey.... Pr baad mei kyu....?? Abhi kyu nhi....??

Jimin-: abhi sb log hai na.... Guests ko jane do fir time spend krte rhna....

The priest began chanting the mantras.

Everyone joined their hands.

The atmosphere became peaceful.

The newlyweds followed every ritual carefully.

They offered flowers.

They performed the aarti.

They made offerings.

They listened attentively to the Satyanarayan Katha.

Namjoon and Jin watched their children with proud smiles.

IU and Bogam looked equally emotional.

Jhope stood slightly behind them, watching the couples with a mischievous smile.

He leaned toward Namjoon.

jhope-: Look at them.

Namjoon smiled.

Nam-: Beautiful, aren't they?

Jhope nodded.

Jhope-: Very.

Then he whispered-

Jhope-: Although Jungkook looks like he's attending a romantic date instead of a puja.

Namjoon tried not to laugh.

Jin heard them.

She turned around.

Jin-: Jhope.

Jhope immediately straightened.

Jhope-: haa di?

Jin-: Let them enjoy.

Jhope smiled.

Jhope-: I am.

After the katha ended, the priest distributed prasad.

Everyone received it.

Tae carefully took hers.

Jungkook immediately leaned closer.

Jungkook-: Give me some.

Tae-: Take it yourself.

Jungkook-: I want yours.

Tae smiled.

She broke a tiny piece and placed it in his mouth.

Jungkook's face immediately brightened.

Across from them, Jimin noticed.

She whispered-

Jimin-: Why are you smiling like that?

Suga looked at her.

Suga-: Because I'm thinking.

Jimin-: About?

Suga-: How much I love my wife.

Jimin immediately looked away.

Jimin-: You're impossible.

Suga-: And you're blushing.

Jimin-: I'm not.

Suga-: You are.

Jimin-: Suga.

He chuckled.

Suga quickly grabbed Jimin's hand and pulled her aside near the corridor.

Jimin (shocked)-: Arre kya kar rahe ho?

Suga (quietly)-: Finally alone.

jimin-: arey pr....

He leaned closer.

Suga (softly)-: Mujhe meri wife se baat karni hai.

Jimin-: haa krlena.... Pr abhi jaarhi ho mom bula rhi hai.

He was about to say something else when suddenly-

Lisa (shouting)-: jimin di! Aunty bula rahi hain!

Jimin-: (giggled) see.....

Suga closed his eyes in frustration.

Suga(muttering)-: arey nhi.... Fir se nhi....

Jimin laughed and walked away.

MOOH DIKHAI RASAM

By afternoon, Kim Jeon Mansion became crowded.

Relatives, family friends, neighbours and important acquaintances began arriving one after another to meet the newlyweds.

The living room had been transformed into a beautiful gathering space.

The four newlyweds sat together.

Lisa (whispering)-: jimin di aur tae bhabhi.... You both are looking like an angel....

Eunwo-: naah.... They're look like a royal queens.....

Yoonkook-: they're already our queen

Yoonkook stood behind them watching taemin. Both looked strangely soft.

And the moment the first group of relatives entered-

The compliments began.

An elderly aunt looked at Taehyung.

Aunt-: Arre wah! Taehyung toh bilkul pari lag rahi hai.

Another woman smiled at Jungkook.

Guest-: Aur Jungkook ke saath kitni perfect lag rahi hai.

Someone else looked at Jimin.

Guest-: Jimin bhi kitni beautiful lag rahi hai.

Another relative smiled at Suga and Jimin.

Guest-: Dono couples ek saath kitne perfect lag rahe hain.

Ladies-: jin.... IU..... sch mei.... Bahu toh Tumdono ne bilkul chand ka tukda laayi ho bhut pyaari aur sanskari bchchiya hai

Jin & IU-: jii

Ladies-: kookie.... Suga tumdono ke toh bhagya hi khul gye..... Itni sunder biwi mili hai tum dono ko.....

Yoonkook-: ji.... Hmei pta hai....[proudly]

Jin smiled proudly.

Jin-: Meri dono betiya bahut khoobsurat hain.

IU immediately added-

IU-: Aur dono bete bhi kisi se kam nahi hain.

Namjoon laughed.

Nam-: Ab toh hamare ghar ki shaan double ho gayi.

Bogam nodded proudly.

Bogam-: Bilkul.

One by one, relatives approached the couples.

They performed the traditional mooh dikhai ritual.

Women blessed the newlyweds.

Some placed gifts in their hands.

Others gifted jewellery, sarees, watches, envelopes, decorative items and traditional sweets.

The newlyweds politely accepted everything.

Every blessing was followed by another compliment.

Guest-: Khush raho.

Another Guest-: Hamesha saath raho.

Another Guest-: Bhagwan tum dono ki jodi salamat rakhe.

Tae smiled warmly.

Jimin thanked everyone.

Jungkook and Suga touched elders' feet along with their wives.

The mansion echoed with laughter and blessings.

Jungkook had been sitting beside Tae for nearly an hour.

Yet somehow...

He hadn't actually gotten to talk to her properly.

Every time he tried-

Someone appeared.

He leaned toward Tae.

Jungkook-: Tae...

Before Tae could respond-

Jin-: Jungkook!

He immediately sat straight.

Jungkook-: Yes, Mom?

Jin-: Go and bring those gift boxes.

His shoulders dropped.

Jungkook-: Okay.

He returned ten minutes later.

He sat beside Tae again.

Jungkook-: Now...

IU-: Jungkook, beta!

He turned around.

Jungkook-: Yes, Mom?

IU-: Help your father with the guests.

He stared at Tae.

Tae tried desperately not to laugh.

Jungkook slowly stood.

Jungkook-:Okay.

Tae covered her smile.

Meanwhile Suga was experiencing the same torture.

He finally found Jimin standing alone near the balcony.

He walked toward her.

She smiled.

He smiled.

He was almost there-

Nam-: Suga!

Suga stopped.

He closed his eyes.

Then slowly turned around.

Suga-: Yes?

Nam-: Come help me with the guests.

Suga looked toward Jimin.

Jimin was already laughing.

He pointed at her.

Suga-: Don't laugh.

Jimin laughed harder.

Jimin-: I didn't say anything.

Suga-: Your face did.

Eventually, Jungkook and Suga found themselves sitting together on the staircase.

Both looked exhausted.

Jungkook sighed.

Jungkook-: I haven't had five minutes alone with my wife.

Suga nodded.

Suga-: Same.

Jungkook looked at him.

Jungkook-: What do we do?

Suga thought for a moment.

Suga-: Escape.

Jungkook's eyes lit up.

Jungkook-: Where?

Suga-: Anywhere.

They stood up.

They walked toward the corridor.

They reached Tae and Jimin's room.

The door was slightly open.

Jungkook smiled.

Jungkook-: Finally.

He pushed the door.

Empty.

His smile disappeared.

Jungkook-: Where are they?

Suga looked around.

Suga-: Gone.

Suddenly Jhope appeared behind them.

jhope-: Looking for someone?

Both froze.

Jungkook slowly turned.

Jungkook-: No.

Jhope smiled knowingly.

Jhope-: Really?

Suga immediately replied-

Suga-: Yes.

Jhope laughed.

Jhope-: Both of you are terrible liars.

Later that evening, Tae finally escaped to the garden.

She stood beneath the fairy lights.

A few moments later, she heard footsteps.

She turned.

Jungkook.

He smiled.

She smiled back.

Tae-: You finally escaped?

Jungkook-: Barely.

She laughed.

He walked toward her.

For the first time all day, there was nobody around.

No relatives.

No rituals.

No interruptions.

Jungkook gently held her hand.

Jungkook-: I missed you.

Tae smiled.

Tae-: I was sitting right in front of you.

Jungkook-: That's the problem. You were right in front of me, and I still couldn't talk to you.

Tae laughed softly.

He pulled her a little closer.

Jungkook-: Can I have my wife for five minutes? (Pouting) I badly need you baby.....

Tae looked into his eyes.

Tae-: Only five?

Jungkook smiled.

Jungkook-: I'll negotiate for more.

She laughed.

He gently rested his forehead against hers.

For a few quiet seconds, they simply stood there.

No dramatic declarations.

No grand gestures.

Just the quiet comfort of finally being together after an entire day of chaos.

Meanwhile, Jimin had slipped into the library.

She thought she was alone.

Until the door closed behind her.

She turned.

Suga stood there.

Jimin smiled.

Jimin-: You scared me.

Suga-: Sorry.

She walked toward him.

Jimin-: How did you escape?

Suga-: I didn't.

She frowned.

Jimin-: Then?

He smiled.

Suga-: I sneaked away.

Jimin laughed.

Jimin-: You're ridiculous.

He gently took her hand.

Suga-: I haven't properly spoken to you all day.

Jimin looked at their intertwined fingers.

Jimin-: Me neither.

Suga smiled softly.

Suga-: Then stay here for a little while.

Jimin nodded.

They sat together quietly.

After two years of secretly loving each other, marriage had finally made their relationship official within the family.

Yet somehow, being newly married had created an entirely new challenge-
Finding privacy.

Jimin rested her head lightly against his shoulder.

Suga looked down at her.

His expression softened completely.

The ruthless businessman.

The disciplined professor.

The savage elder brother.

None of those personalities existed in that moment.

He was simply a husband sitting beside the woman he loved.

AND THEN...

The library door suddenly opened.

Tae-: Jimin!

Jimin and Suga immediately separated.

Tae stood at the doorway.

Behind her stood Jungkook.

Jimin stared.

Jimin-: What are you doing here?

Tae folded her arms.

Tae-: Looking for you.

Jungkook added-

Jungkook-: And we found them.

Suga sighed.

Suga-: you two too?

Jungkook nodded.

Jungkook-: Apparently privacy doesn't exist in this mansion.

Tae-: sorry.... We didn't either wanted this.... But dinner is ready and moms are calling.... So....

The four looked at one another.

Then all four burst into laughter.

For the first time since the wedding, they were together without pretending.

2 siblings

Two couples.

2 besties

Two secret love stories that had finally become real.

And one enormous family that was already making their married life wonderfully chaotic.

From downstairs, Jin's voice echoed-

Jin-: TAE! JIMIN! JUNGKOOK! SUGA!

All four froze.

Jungkook sighed dramatically.

Jungkook-: And there goes our five minutes.

Tae laughed.

Jimin shook her head.

Suga stood up.

Suga-: Come on.

Jungkook looked at him.

Jungkook-: Where?

Suga opened the door.

Suga-: Back to reality.

The four walked downstairs together.

And as they entered the living room, their families welcomed them with smiles, laughter, blessings and endless teasing.

The wedding may have ended.

But their married life had only just begun.

And judging by the chaos already happening inside Kim Jeon Mansion...

Peace was definitely not invited to this marriage.
