        Shivaay paced to and fro in his room with a constant frown. He got happy when his mother complied to his demand but his happiness was short lived as she declared that Annika would be staying in different room till the marriage.

      His desperate-ness even got him teasing remarks from his gang. Annika was so embarrassed. She wished to bang his head seeing him behaving like a cranky toddler.

     It was four in the morning. He tried to sleep but couldn't and finally decided to go to his only solace.

      He opened the door slowly and peeked outside to see anyone. He first looked towards right and then left. Seeing his path clear, he breathed a sigh of relief.

       He started walking towards the guest room where annika was staying when he saw Pinky coming from the kitchen. He instantly hid behind the nearby pillar squeezing his eyes mumbling incoherent prayers in his mind.

     Pinky passed from there without noticing him making him release the breath he was holding or atleast he thought so.

       He stepped forward only to bump into pinky who was standing with her arms across her chest looking at him quizzically. He gave him a scary smile gulping as he realised that his mother tricked him.

     'What are you doing here?' She asked narrowing her eyes at him.

     'Wo....woh...pa..ppp..pa...paani..kitchen ja rha tha.....' He replied stammering.

     She took the glass from the nearby table and poured the water in it from the jug she brought from the kitchen. He took it as she forwarded.

      He took a sip and then smiled at her. She kept her expressions blank. He sipped slowly but she didn't go. Realising that she wasn't going before he finished, he gulped the water in a go dropping a few drops over his shirt.

     'Bohot pyaas lgi thi, maa. Bohot pyaas... thank you...' ('I was so thirsty, mom. So thirsty...thank you.') He smiled giving the glass back to her hoping that now she would go.

     'Need more?' She asked making him cry inwardly.

      'Yes...yeahh....sure....' He didn't even know what he was saying. His urge to see Annika taking a toll over him.

     She gave him another glass. He drank it as fast as he could. He behaved as if his throat was parched since ages seeing which she directly forwarded the jug to him. He drank the half dropping the other over his clothes and face again. Pinky was amused looking at his drama.

      He felt as if his stomach would burst after drinking this much water. But still gave a wide smile to Pinky who was trying to suppress her laugh.

      He waited for her to go but she stood still on her place. She raised her eyebrows. He smiled sheepishly. He knew he had to go back to his room for now and went back with a puppy face for not being able to see his jaana.

       As soon as pinky left, he again opened the door slowly and literally ran to Annika's room. Pinky, who saw him chuckled. She very well knew his intentions but was just teasing him.

      He knocked on the door slowly. Annika opened after few minutes rubbing her eyes.

      'Shiv.....' she yawned muttering his name trying to keep her eyes open. He smiled seeing her and instantly took her in a bone crushing hug. She stumbled back feeling the sudden force but his hold made her balance herself. She snuggled into him still feeling sleepy.

      Both sat on the bed still hugging each other.

     'I missed you.' He muttered pecking her forehead. She gave him are-you-serious kinda look. Just an hour ago, they were together and he was missing her. There's a limit of being desperate, dude.

      'But i didn't. Now just shut up and let me sleep.' She spoke twitching her lips keeping her head on his chest. He pouted.

      'But baby......'

     She hit his chest whining. He stopped saying anything. Just in few minutes, he saw her snoring on his chest. She looked so adorable, like a baby. His baby!

     'Mera kumbhkaran.' He whispered pinching her nose.

        He laid down on the bed and covered them with the blanket. The sleep which was showing nakhre noor jahan ke to him few minutes ago came as soon as he closed his eyes.

      'Mubarak ho! Aaj se aap dono pati patni hain.' ('Congratulations! From today, you both are husband and wife.') The priest declared as soon as Shivaay filled her partition with the vermillion. Both had an eye lock. He felt a sense of responsibility rushing through his veins with the declaration. A feeling to protect her and to love her made him feel overjoyed. His birthday couldn't get any better. The best birthday gift he got for himself, her!

      They took their parents' blessings and hugged their friends. Everyone congratulated them.

      The wedding happened in Oberoi Mansion with their few close relatives.

     After the post wedding rituals which shivaay wanted to finish as soon as possible, everyone dispersed to their rooms. They both were going when Annika stopped in her track. Pinky was there too.

      'I'm missing my mom, so i'll sleep with Pinky Maa today.'

      As soon as these words left Annika's mouth, Shivaay looked at her as if she had grown horns.

      'Are you serious, Annika?' He gave her you-got-to-be-kidding me look. Pinky looked confused at all this but soon understood that Annika was teasing her son as she secretly winked at her.

      'Yes, now excuse us Mr. Husband. Good night.....' she smiled cheekily going from there with pinky to her room. He looked at her retreating figure with an unfathomable expression. His mouth hung open as his eyes stopped blinking. Huffing in anger, he went to their room stomping his foot..........

        After some time, she peeped through the door to see him sitting on the bed with a sulking face.

     'What the hell yaar? Aisa kon karta hai? Konsi dulhan apni first night ko apni maa ke saath soti hai?'('Who does this? Which bride sleeps with her mother on her first night?') He frowned while she chuckled listening to his self talk.

      She tiptoed inside the room and sat beside him. He was still in his frowning mode. The cute pouty faces he made made him look adorable.

      'Kya hua?' She asked seriously.

     'Yeh pucho kya nhi hua.' He replied still lost. She chuckled.

      'Okay! Kya nhi hua?' She asked stifling her laughter. He looked towards her coming back to the reality.

      He touched her shoulder with his index finger trying to see if she was actually there or he was dreaming.

     'It's not a dream, Shivaay.' She laughed looking at his actions. He frowned.

     'Why are you here now? Go and sleep with your mother.....' He sulked. She smiled.

       'Actually, i realised that i was missing my sadu, akdu, khadoos husband......' she replied snaking her arms across his neck. He smiled ignoring the mahaan words she used as his hands involuntarily landed on her bare waist.

       'Sooo...' He whispered caressing her bare back with his palm.

     'Soooo?'

    'What are we gonna do now?'

      'What kind of question is this, Shivaay? We will do what people generally do at night...' she spoke biting back her smile.

     'Ek second! How do you know what people do at night?' He frowned.

     'Isn't it obvious, Shiv? Everyone sleeps at night, no?' She raised her eyebrows.

     'You mean to say we are gonna sleep on our first night?' He glared her.

       'Yes, i'm too sleepy today.' She faked a yawn. He frowned again. She chuckled.

      'Fine.' He muttered leaving her and sat on the bed. She sat on his lap giggling. He looked at her from the corner of his eyes.

      She cupped his face kissing his forehead. He stayed still. She kissed his eyes one by one. He still didn't react. He wanted to see how far she could go. She placed kisses on his left cheek followed by right one and finally pecked his lips. She was about to part away but he was quick enough to capture her lips. Afterall, this was the moment he was waiting for. He kissed her hard. She moaned as he bit her lower lip. Her hold on his neck tightened as he pulled her towards him from her waist sticking their bodies together. He opened the pin of her dupatta dropping it to the floor during the kiss.

       Breaking apart, he joined her forehead with his. She had her eyes closed.

     'Love you..' He muttered again pecking her lips.

      'Love you too.' She smiled with tears shining her eyes. He shook his head wiping those pearls.

      He removed her necklace slowly kissing her neck. She arched her head giving him more access. Her heart did somersault as he trailed wet kisses allover her neck. Removing her earrings, he took her earlobe in his mouth making her moan the loudest.

       He gazed at her face. She looked his. Eyes cascaded down, breathing heavy, heart beating frantically, fists clutching her shoulders, cheeks tinted red, she looked like a fairy to him. Mine! He thought kissing her forehead.

       She laid down on the bed. He hovered her holding her hands pinning them above her head. He was about to kiss her again when his phone rang. He groaned while she giggled. He stifled her giggles kissing her passionately ignoring the phone. She reciprocated heartily.

       His phone again rang. She parted away breathing heavily.

     'It must be important.' She spoke hearing the ring again.

     'I don't care.' He whispered kissing her collarbone.

      'Shiv, please!' She urged. He sighed picking up the call.

     It was from his office. He signed her to wait. She nodded smiling. He went towards the pool side to talk. She looked at her henna filled hands. His name on her hand made her smile.

      Since the call was important, it took him a little longer. When he came back into the room, the sight made him smile. She was sleeping in the sitting position with her mouth little open. He made her lay properly covering her and closed her mouth. She pouted in sleep.

      Changing into his comfortable night clothes, he slipped beside her caging her in his arms. This was what he longed for. Her in his arms sleeping peacefully. He vowed to love her forever and ever. With this promise, he fell into a deep slumber dreaming about their beautiful life ahead........

Precap:

     'I'll give you punishment.' She whined when he couldn't find his name on her hand.

     'And may i know what kind of punishment?' He asked sweetly.

      She thought for a moment before smiling mischievously. He looked at her but her next words gave him nearly a heart attack......
