Understanding and trust are one of the most important factors of every relationship.

It was the time of the night, the moon was shining in the sky and it peeked into Neil's room which was now Avni and Neil's room. The room was lit with candles and was decorated with flowers. Avni was sitting on the center of the bed and her veil was up. Avni looked at her fingers and rolled the ring. Avni thought.

Avni's point of view:

Zindagi bhi kitni ajeeb hai. Jo hum sochte hain, jo hum chahte hain woh hota nahi hai aur jo hum ne socha nahi hota woh ho jata hai. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ke meri bhi kabhi shadi hogi aur is tarha hogi yeh to mere wehmo guman main bhi nahi tha. Meri shadi main meri Maa hi nahi hon gi. Un ki blessings nahi hun gi.

Avni's eyes got moist and her point of view continued.

Main janti hun, Maa ke aap jahan bhi hain aap ki blessings mere sath hain lekin phir bhi bohat miss kar rahi hun main aap ko. Kash, kash aap mere sath hoti to shayad aaj main bhi khush hoti. Shadi ka din har larki ki zindagi ka bohat khaas din hota hai. Us ki ek nayi zindagi ki shurwat hoti hai. Us ki life main naye rishte aate hain. Woh patni banti hai. Bahu banti hai. Bhabhi banti hai. Naye rishte nayi zimedariyan bhi late hain sath main. Woh bohat excited hoti hai. Aaj meri zindagi ki bhi nayi shurwat hoi hai. Main apni nayi duniya main, apne naye room main dulhan bani bethi apne pati ka intazar kar rahi hun. Aaj humari suhaag ra...

Avni stopped and she was shocked.

Avni's point of view ended.

Avni: Aaj humari suhaag raat hai.

Avni was shocked.

Avni: Aaj to humari first night hai main to is bare main bhul hi gait hi.

Avni was shocked and she got nervous.

Avni: Will Neil force me?

Avni thought and she shook her head.

Avni: Nahi. Nahi. Neil asa nahi hai. Woh Papa ke jaisa nahi hai. Woh meri marzi ke bina kuch nahi kare ga. Han. Us ne mujhse shadi bhi mere consent ke bad hi ki. Woh chahta to meri marzi ki parwah kiye bina Papa se baat kar sakta tha aur Papa usay naa bhi nahi karte lekin us ne asa nahi kiya. Neil aur us ki family dono hi bohat ache hain. Woh log Papa aur Dadi jaise nahi hain. Sab mujhse bohat pyaar karte hain. Neil kabhi mujhe force nahi kare ga. Han, woh mujhse meri marzi zaror puche ga.

Avni nodded and she remembered something, Avni saw the flashes where Neil kissed her on New Year night. Avni was shocked.

Avni: Lekin Neil ne New Year night ko tujhe kiss kiya tha... woh bhi bina teri marzi jane.

Avni was shocked and she became nervous. Avni heard the knock on the door and she looked there. Avni was shocked and she felt the butterflies in her stomach. Avni covered her face with the veil.

The door opened and someone came inside. It was Neil of course. Neil entered the room and he saw the decorations. Neil closed the door at his back. Avni heard that and she felt nervous. Avni clenched her fist. Neil turned and locked the door. Neil turned and he saw his bride sitting on the bed. Neil smiled to see Avni. Avni was getting nervous. Neil came to the bed and sat on it. Avni sighed. Neil looked at Avni and he moved to Avni. Neil took off the veil. Avni's gaze was low. Neil smiled to see Avni and Avni's face was glowing in the light of the candles. Neil held Avni's chin and he lifted it.

Neil: Beautiful.

Neil smiled.

Neil: Avni, you know, today is our first night.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Our special night.

Avni got nervous. Neil smiled.

Neil: Woh kya kehte hain... suhaag raat.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: And tonight we will celebrate our special night.

Avni looked at Neil shockingly. Neil looked at Avni and he found her shocked and nervous.

Neil cupped Avni's face.

Neil: Haye, don't worry. Nothing will happen. It's normal. Ab we are married now so we have to celebrate it na. Humain humare rishte ko bhi to agaye barhana hoga na. Tum tension mat lo. I will be gentle.

Avni got nervous.

Avni: Ne, Neil...

Neil kept his finger on Avni's lips and said: Ssshhhh.

Neil whispered: Pehle hi bohat wait kiya hai maine ab aur wait nahi hoga.

Avni gulped and Neil looked at Avni's lips.

Neil: Let's just start.

Neil looked at Avni who was looking at him with teary eyes. Neil cupped Avni's face and he leaned to her lips. Avni was looking at Neil. Neil kissed Avni's lips who shivered and clenched her fist more tightly. Neil removed Avni's chunri. Neil moved back and Avni and Neil were panting. Avni's eyes were moist. A tear fell from Avni's eyes. Neil looked at Avni and he wiped his mouth. Neil looked at Avni's neck and attacked it. Avni squeezed her eyes and she felt disgusted. Neil hugged Avni tightly and he was nuzzling Avni's neck. Avni cried.

Avni: Neil. Neil, stop.

No use. Avni grinned her lips and tried to push Neil.

Avni: Neil.

Avni was trying to push Neil. Avni pushed Neil.

Avni: Neil.

Neil fell back and he looked at Avni shockingly. Avni was panting and angry.
Avni was panting and she was sitting on the bed. Avni looked down and then she looked at Neil. Avni was shocked to see there because Neil was not there. Avni looked around and she found the room empty. Avni thought and then she looked up. Avni realized that it was her imagination. Avni sighed and she took a sigh of relief. Avni thought and she got nervous.

Avni heard the knock on the door. Avni flinched and she looked at the door. Avni was shocked. The door opened and Avni covered her face with the veil. Someone entered the room and it was Neil.

Neil entered the room and he saw the decorations. Neil closed the door at his back. Avni heard that and she felt nervous. Avni clenched her fist. Neil turned and locked the door. Neil turned and he saw his bride sitting on the bed. Neil smiled to see Avni and he was also feeling nervous. Neil sighed and looked at the room. Neil also felt the butterflies in his stomach to see the decorations. Neil came forward while looking at the decorations. Neil looked at Avni and he thought. Neil looked down and then he looked at Avni. Neil sighed. Neil came forward and Avni saw Neil's foot.

Neil came to the bed and sat on it. Avni clenched her fist more tightly. Avni started to sweat. Avni gulped. Neil moved to Avni who got scared. Neil held Avni's chunri and Avni's heart started to beat faster. Avni sighed. Neil took off the veil and Avni tried to control her emotions. Avni clenched her fist more tightly. Avni's gaze was low. Neil smiled to see Avni and Avni's face was glowing in the light of the candles. Avni's beauty and her innocence stole Neil's heart once again. Neil held Avni's chin and he lifted it.

Neil: Beautiful.

Avni felt nervous. It was the same that she thought.

Neil was looking at Avni and he looked at Avni's hand. Neil held Avni's hand and took it to his lips while looking at Avni. Neil kissed Avni's hand and Avni shivered. Neil kept his second hand on Avni's hand and sighed.

Neil: Avni, you know, tonight is our first night.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: Our special night.

Neil smiled.

Neil: Woh kya kehte hain... suhaag raat.

Avni was shocked.

Neil: And it is indeed a special night.

Avni was feeling nervous.

Neil: Not because it is our first night. Because it is our first night after our marriage and I...

Avni was feeling awkward.

Neil said while caressing Avni's hand slowly: can see this beautiful face as much as I want. I will sleep while adorning this beautiful face.

Avni looked at Neil surprisingly. Neil smiled.

Neil: Tum ne kya socha tha ke aaj humari first night hai to main tumhe force karun ga.

Avni looked down because of guilt.

Neil: Bilkul bhi nahi.

Avni looked at Neil.

Neil: Maine us din bhi tumhe kaha tha ke main kabhi bhi kuch bhi tumhare consent ke bina nahi karun ga to phir yeh... Main humari life ke itne special moments ko tumhare consent ke bina kaise celebrate kar sakta tha.

Avni was looking at Neil emotionally.

Neil: you just don't need to worry about it. Main tumhari marzi ke bina tumhe chun ga bhi nahi. Kuch karna to bohat dur ki baat hai.

Avni was just looking at Neil. Neil thought to lighten the situation.

Neil: Aur waise bhi abhi to hum ne humari nayi zindagi ki shurwat ki hai. Jaldi kya hai. Ahista, Ahista kadam agaye barhaen ge aur mujhe to yeh smajh nahi aata hai ke yeh Suhaag raat kya hai. Means dono life partners ko sari life sath rehna hai to zarori thori hai ke consummation usi raat ko karni hai.

Avni felt odd and she lowered her gaze. Neil realized what he said and he felt odd.

Neil in mind: Oh shit, yeh kya bol diya. Avni ko acha feel karwane ki koshish kar raha tha lekin maine to usay awkward feel karwa diya.

Neil looked at Avni and he sighed.

Neil: Don't worry, hum friends hain aur abhi ke liye hum friends ban kar hi rahen ge. Filhal main tumhari friendship se hi khush hun.

Avni smiled. Neil sighed.

Neil: Waise mera dil to tumhari friendship se guzara kar lekin mera pet bina khane ke guzara nahi kar paye ga.

Avni was confused and Neil smiled.

Neil: Ase kya dekh rahi ho. Mujhe bhukh lagi hai. Ab jaldi se change kar ke aao phir hum dinner karen.

Avni smiled and nodded.

Avni: Main abhi ayi.

Neil smiled and said, OK.

Avni moved to get up. Neil got up and he gave the space to Avni. Avni was getting up and Neil was ready to help her. Avni got up and looked at Neil who signed with his hand that go. Avni smiled and she went. Neil turned his face and he saw Avni going to the dressing table. Avni was standing in front of the dressing table and the light turned on. Avni looked up here and there and then she turned. Neil was standing near the switchboard. Neil smiled to see Avni who smiled. Avni turned and she started to remove the chunri.

Neil came to the bed and he took out his phone from his pocket. Neil scrolled down his social media account. Avni removed her chunri and kept it on the stool. Avni tried to open the knot of the necklace. Avni grinned her lips and she was trying. Neil was using his phone. Avni sighed and Neil heard her. Neil looked at Avni and found her struggling to open the knot. Neil looked at the bedsheet and thought. Neil looked at Avni and he kept his phone on the bed. Neil got up and he came to Avni. Neil cleared his throat and Avni stopped struggling. Avni looked at the floor and then she looked at Neil.

Neil: May I?

Neil signed and Avni looked down. Avni nodded and turned. Neil looked at Avni for a few seconds. Neil came near Avni and he tried to open the knot. Neil's fingers touched Avni's neck and Avni shivered. Neil saw Avni in the mirror and saw her nervous. Neil looked at Avni's neck and he got attracted to Avni. Neil gulped and was looking at Avni's neck. Neil leaned to Avni and Avni felt Neil's breath on her neck. Avni shivered. Neil felt that and he came back to reality. Neil closed his eyes and tried to control himself. Neil opened his eyes and sighed. Neil opened the knot with his teeth carefully and Neil opened it. Neil opened the knot with his hand and removed the necklace. Neil kept the necklace on the table and Avni saw that and then Neil moved back. Neil cleaned his hands and sighed. Neil didn't look at Avni.

Neil: Avni, tum change kar lo. Main balcony main jaa raha hun. Tumhe kisi bhi cheese ki zarorat ho to mujhe awaz laga dena.

Avni nodded. Neil looked at Avni and then he saw Avni in the mirror. Neil saw Avni's side reflection. Neil looked down and then he went from there to the balcony. Neil sat on the couch on the balcony and joined his fingers. Neil looked down and then he looked at the sky.

In the room, Avni started to unpin her hair. Avni opened her hair and then she started to remove the jewelry. Avni removed the nosepiece. Avni was removing her jewelry in the room and Neil was sitting on the couch on the balcony. Neil's phone rang and Neil heard that. Avni was removing her earring and she heard the ring of the phone. Avni turned and she saw Neil's phone on the bed. Avni thought. Neil got up.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at the balcony.

Neil: Kya tum mujhe mera phone pass kar sakti ho?

Avni remained silent and she was looking at the balcony. Neil was waiting for Avni's reply.

Neil talked when he didn't get any reply: It's OK, Avni. Tum change kar lo main bad main dekh lunga.

Avni: Nahi. Main abhi jewelry remove kar rahi hun. Tum room main aa sakte ho.

Neil nodded.

Neil: OK.

Neil sighed and he turned. Neil moved to the room and he took away the curtain. Neil looked up and he got lost to see Avni. Avni's hair was open and she was in a bridal dress. The red bangles were on Avni's wrist. Neil was lost to see his beauty queen. Avni looked at Neil and she felt odd. Avni kept her hair behind her ear while looking down.

The wind blew and it touched Avni's face. Avni's hair flew and Neil lost his heart again but Neil's moment broke to hear the sound of the door and window.
Neil came out of his world and he looked at his back and then he realized that he was staring at Avni. Neil looked at Avni who was feeling low. Neil felt awkward and he went to get his phone. Neil took his phone.

Neil said while not looking at Avni: Avni, tum window or balcony ka door band kar ke change kar lo. Main balcony main jaa raha hun.

Avni looked at Neil and then Avni looked down. Avni nodded. Neil looked at Avni and then he went to the balcony. Avni closed the door and Neil heard that. Neil looked at the door and then he thought. Avni closed the windows.

Neil was using his phone on the balcony and the door opened. Neil heard that and he looked up from his phone. Avni came there and Neil saw her feet. Neil got up and saw Avni in a light blue kurti and Avni was looking cute in that. The sindoor was in Avni's hairlines and the bangles were in her wrist. Once again, Neil got lost to see Avni. Avni lowered her gaze and she kept her hair behind her hair. Neil smiled.

Neil: Avni, tum bohar cute lag rahi ho.

Avni looked at Neil and she felt shy. Neil smiled.

Neil: Main change kar lun phir main dinner le kar aata hun. Ok?

Avni nodded. Neil smiled and said, OK.

Neil moved and came to Avni.

Later, Neil came into the room and a tray of food was in his hands. Neil was smiling and Avni was sitting on the bed. Avni saw Neil and then she looked down. Neil came and kept the tray on the bed.

Neil: It's dinner time but one minute.

Neil went to shut the door and he locked it. Neil came to Avni and he broke the morsel. Neil fed Avni the first bit and then he ate. Neil was smiling and talking.

After the dinner, Neil went to keep the vessel in the kitchen. Neil came back and he found Avni standing in the room. Neil frowned to see her and he turned to lock the door. Avni heard the sound and she looked at Neil. Neil turned.

Neil asked while coming to Avni: Kya howa? Yahan kyun khari ho?

Avni looked at Neil and then she looked at the bed. Avni looked down. Neil thought and he looked at the bed because Avni was looking at the bed and then she looked down. Neil thought and he understood.

Neil: Avni, tum bed per so jao. Main couch per so jaunga.

Avni looked at Neil shockingly. Neil smiled.

Neil: It's ok. Jab tak tum comfortable nahi ho jati main couch per soun ga.

Neil smiled and he moved to take the pillow. Avni was looking at Neil.

Neil heard: Tumhe couch per sone ki koi zarorat nahi hai.

Neil stopped and Avni saw him.

Avni: hum dono bed share kar sakte hain.

Neil was surprised and he took time to register. Neil turned to Avni. Avni looked down.

Neil: kya kaha tum ne?

Avni looked at Neil and then she looked down and gulped.

Avni: hum dono bed share kar sakte hain.

Neil was surprised.

Avni: Bed kafi bara hai hum dono aram se so sakte hain and mujhe to waise bhi single bad per sone ki adat hai to mujhe koi problem nahi hogi...

Neil was looking at Avni who looked at him.

Avni: Main sirf yeh janane ke liye khari thi ke tum kis side per sou ge.

Avni looked down.

Avni: Taa ke main dusri side per so jaun.

Neil was looking at Avni and then he smiled.

Neil: Tum sach main is liye khari thi.

Avni nodded while looking down. Neil smiled.

Neil: Tumhe jis side sona hai tum so sakti ho. Mujhe koi problem nahi hogi.

Avni nodded and she moved to the bed. Avni lay on the left side and Neil didn't turn back. Neil turned when he felt that Avni had pulled the duvet. Neil turned and saw Avni who was trying to adjust her position.

Neil: good night.

Avni looked at Neil.

Avni: Good night.

Neil smiled and nodded. Avni closed her eyes and Neil stood there. Neil went to the couch and sat there. Neil waited for Avni to sleep because he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. Neil was adoring Avni. Avni opened her eyes and she looked at Neil who was looking at her.

Neil: I am not sleepy that's why I am sitting here.

Avni nodded. Neil smiled. Avni and Neil were just looking at each other. Avni thought.

Avni in mind: Neil has changed a lot. Neil ab woh pehle wala Neil nahi raha. Kya sach main pyaar insan ko badal deta hai.

Avni thought and she looked at Neil who was looking at his phone. Avni looked at Neil for some time and then she closed her eyes. Neil looked at Avni and he kept his phone on the table and started his work of staring at his love. When Neil felt that Avni had slept. Neil came to the bed and he saw Avni. Neil sat on the bed carefully and he lay there. Neil turned to Avni and he adored Avni's pretty and innocent face.

Neil in mind: I am so lucky that you are with me; you are sleeping next to me. I can't believe it that you are with me. We have got married. It is like a dream for me. But no, it is not a dream. It is a beautiful reality of my life that you are mine.

Neil smiled.

Neil: My sleeping beauty.

Neil smiled. Neil was just looking at Avni who was sleeping peacefully because of tiredness.

The sun rises and the people and the birds start their day. The sun was shining over the Khanna mansion where Avni and Neil were sleeping on the bed. Neil stirred and he stretched his body. Neil groaned and he opened his narrowed eyes and cleaned them. Neil saw Avni and he was surprised. Neil looked on and then he remembered that they are married now. Neil smiled to see Avni and kept his head on his arm. Neil was adoring Avni.

Avni stirred and Neil got alert. Neil closed his eyes and Avni stretched her body. Neil saw that and smiled. Avni tried to open her narrowed eyes and cleaned them. Avni turned her face and Neil widened his eyes and then he closed his eyes. Avni saw Neil and she was shocked. Avni frowned and she noticed the surroundings. Avni heard the sound and she saw the bangles in her arms. Avni remembered about their wedding and she understood that she was in her new room.

Avni looked at Neil who acted like he was sleeping. Avni smiled to see Neil and she found him cute. Avni realized that she was staring at Neil and Avni felt strange. Avni thought and she sat on the bed. Avni saw Neil and then she saw the time. The clock showed 07:47. Avni thought and she got up from the bed. Avni went to the washroom and closed the door. Neil opened his eyes and turned his face. Neil sat on the bed and smiled by looking at the door.

Later, Avni was getting ready.

Neil entered the room. Neil looked up and he slowed down his speed. Neil was surprised to see Avni in a saree. The time just stopped for Neil and he stopped. Neil was just adoring Avni who wearing the earrings. Neil smiled. Avni saw Neil in the mirror and she was surprised. Avni felt strange and she gulped. Avni set her hair with her hands. Neil came out of his thoughts. Neil looked down and then he looked at Avni. Neil smiled and he came to Avni. Avni turned to Neil.

Neil: Avni, you are looking really very beautiful.

Avni rolled her bangles and she looked at them. Neil noticed what Avni did and then he looked at her.

Avni: Thank you.

Neil smiled.

It was the time of the morning and the sound of cooking something. Shweta was standing in the kitchen and she was preparing the breakfast. Avni entered the kitchen and she looked at the kitchen. Avni saw Shweta whose eyes fell on Avni. Shweta smiled.

Shweta: Aray, Avni. beta, aao na.

Avni smiled and she came forward. Avni wished her good morning. Shweta replied her back.

Shweta: uth gai meri bachi. Kal raat ko ache se nend ayi? Koi problem to nahi hoi?

Avni felt strange but she shook her head. Shweta smiled and said, OK. Avni looked at Shweta and the pot. Avni thought.

Avni: Main aap ki kuch help kar dun?

Shweta: Aray, nahi, nahi, saara kaam ho chukka hai aur waise bhi aaj tera pehla din ghar main aaj tujhse kaam thori karwaungi. Abhi to tu bus sasural ke maze le.

Shweta smiled and Avni smiled slightly. Avni looked on and Shweta saw her and found her bored. Shweta was stirring the spoon.

Shweta: Acha agar tujhe kuch karna hi hai to ek kaam kar wahan jaa kar chair per beth aur mujhse batain kar.

Shweta took a plate and filled the small quantity of all the dishes.

Shweta said while filling the plate: Aur mujhe taste kar ke bata ke yeh breakfast kaisa bana hai?

Shweta turned and passed the plate to Avni and said: Hmm.

Avni smiled.

Shweta: Jaa, jaa ke beth aur bata mujhe kaisa bana hai.

Avni smiled and she went to sit. Avni sat and tasted the food. Avni remembered Neela Maa and her eyes got moist.

Shweta asked while stirring the spoon: kaisa hai?

Avni looked at Shweta and smiled.

Avni: Bohat acha. Bilkul Maa jaisa.

Shweta looked up and then she turned her face to Avni who wiped her tears. Shweta felt bad. Shweta came to Avni and leaned to her. Shweta cupped Avni's face.

Shweta: Ab Maa na banaya hai to Maa ke hath ka suwad to hoga na. hmm.

Avni smiled with moist eyes and Shweta stood properly. Shweta hugged Avni and caressed her hair. Avni cried. Neil was looking at them and he smiled. Neil sighed.

Neil in mind: Tumhe yahi pal dene ke liye hi to main tumhe meri bride bana kar laya hun. Main tumhe is duniya ki har khushi dena chahta hun, Avni. Har khushi.

Neil smiled.

Later, everyone was sitting at the dining table. Shweta served Avni.

Avni: Main khud le lun gi, Mummy Ji.

Shweta: Mujhe pata hai tum khud le sakti ho lekin aaj main serve karun gi meri Bachi ko.

Avni and the others smiled. Shweta filled the plate and she went to sit on her chair.

Bebe: Ab jaise ke Avni aur Neil ka shadi ke bad pehla din hai to Avni aur Neil ek hi plate se khaen ge aur ek dusre ko khilaen ge bhi.

Avni was shocked and Neil was surprised though he didn't mind but he knew that Avni would feel shy and uncomfortable.

Neil: Ab, Bebe, rehne diji...

Avni forwarded her hand to break the morsel and Neil stopped to see Avni's hand. Neil was looking at the hand and then he looked at Avni. Avni broke the morsel and she dipped it in chatni because it was a paratha. Avni passed the bit to Neil who smiled and ate. Everyone clapped.

Shweta: Yeahhhh...

Neil smiled to see his family and he chewed the morsel. Neil also broke the morsel and he fed Avni and the family clapped. Everyone smiled and Avni cleaned the corner of her lips. They had breakfast with their chitchat and smiled. Avni was looking at them and she felt good and smiled to see the smiling faces of her new family.
