Chapter 4 : Love Smitten! Cupid struck!

Within few minutes after Avni and Neela had left the Khanna Mansion, she received a text message which brought an instant shy smile on her face. It said "Ghar pahunchte hi video call karna... Already missing you"

On the other hand, Mr Neil Khanna was fidgeting with his phone... walking impatiently in his room, waiting for his bride's call.

"Neil...you have gone mad!" He laughed at himself... "No No...rather she drove you crazy..."

He remembered their little adventure which happened some time before...he blushed at his thought.

"Neil aise hi sochta raha toh sach much pagal ho jayega...uuurrrgghhh... hehehe..." he laughed again as he thought to divert himself by removing his sherwani to change into his night suit...but still he couldn't stop himself from recalling his most precious moments of the day with his lady love ...exchanging rings, her confession of love, her surprise song, her antics, her aura, her smile, her shyness and of course her kiss...! He had a shiver in his spine while he cherished these moments...he was lost... so lost that he forgot to wear his clothes after removing the sherwani.

Just then his phone rang, a video call from Avni...and without wasting a second he picked it with a huge smile slaying on his face.

"Aou Neil...!" Avni shut her eyes as soon as she saw him on the video call. And this gesture made Mr. Khanna realise that he was half naked and just in his boxers.

"Oh shit eh uh eh sorry, I mean jaan buchke nai kiya. I was changing to my night suit tab call aaya toh meine jhat se utha liya..." Neil adjusted his phone angle so that only his face and neck is seen as he felt embarrassed since he thought what if Avni misunderstood him and thought it was his plan to appear in the call being half naked !

"Eh ko...kkooi baat nai Neil..." Avni replied meekly while opening her eyes. Those eyes had a glow...a sparkle and he was mesmerized to see her eyes.

"Koi baat nai haa ?" He teased her with a smirk.

Avni tried to manage by saying...
"Neil... kapde pehnlo. Mein do minute baad call karungi..." she said looking at him.

"Nah nah... call disconnect mat karna... mein pehnta hu kapde, tumhe on line hi rehna padega...bas ek minute.." he smirked as he placed his phone on his dressing table leaning it to the mirror so that he could see Avni on call...and yes so that she could see him.

"Neil... woh...mein..." Avni was about to say something but stopped to see her man's masculine body now revealed in a full scale on her mobile screen...

"Ha kya Avni...?" Neil questioned while taking his track pants from the couch and wore it.

"Naa naaiii kuchhh nai..." Avni mumbled lowering her eyes.

While Neil searched for his tee shirt around his room... Avni stole glances of her topless husband who was so well built with his muscles all pumped and fit. His biceps were so blown up, his chest was broad and firm,his chiseled torso,his abs and his physique perfect in shape. Uff he was so hot she felt...After few glances Avni couldn't resist staring at her man... and there he caught her !

"Avni...tum chaho ho toh I don't mind being shirtless !" Neil smirked naughtily making Avni's cheeks turn pink in no time.

"Ha...woh Neil..woh.. nai pehnlo tee shirt " Avni said feeling embarrassed but smiling too... it wasn't just hesitation anymore it was romance for her.

Neil smiled at her response and wore his tee and took his mobile to his hand and went into jump into his bed.

He layed flat on his back... and lifted his mobile up to see her...

"Avni...avni... mujhe kuch ho raha hai... I... I don't know why ? Pehli baar mujhe itni bechaini ho rahi hai tumse door rehne ki... har pal sirf aur sirf tumhare khayalon mein duba hu... I miss u so much wifey...yeh bed bhi disgusting lag rahi hai tumhare bina... I think mein kal tak wait kar hi nai paunga...tumhe dekhne ke liye... Mein abhi aa raha hu vaha Neela ma ke ghar..."

Neil said at one go expressing his plight of restlessness he was feeling for his girl.

"Neil...nai...bilkul nai...agar maa ko pata chal gaya toh..! So embarrassing...unhe kya lagega ? Ki hum dono itne... itne..."

Avni stammered as she couldn't continue further looking at her man's quirky smile...

"Ki hum itne kya Avni...? Bolo... bol bhi do..." Neil teased her with his signature smirk.

"Itne.. itne desperate hai..." she could finally say but paused a second and continued before Neil could give his own meaning to what she said.

"Milne ke liye.. so please... meri baat maano Neil. You are NOT going to come here." Avni said firmly pointing her forefinger in denial.

Neil's face instantly withered listening to her, he made a sad puppy face and said,
"Acha...? Hmm..."

Avni sensed his disappointment so tried to pacify him... "aww... aisa sad mat ho Neil. Mein puri raat tumse baatein karungi.. video call pe..aise toh tum miss nahi karoge na mujhe? "

*tumhe mere kareeb toh nai paa sakta na video call pe* Neil mumbled to himself in a very low voice.

"Neil ? Kuch kaha?" Avni questioned.

"Ha nai...woh hum puri raat baat kar sakte hai.." he answered affirming her question.

And they continued their conversation don't know till what time...they spoke about many things which they missed sharing with each other, they smiled, blushed,laughed throughout cherishing their memories... they finally had their much required time for themselves.

They dozed off while talking unknowingly.

*Next morning*

"Good morning wifey...Can't wait to see you. Come soon" was the text message with a kiss at the end that popped on Avni's phone screen when she was all set to do her hair after wearing the gorgeous bottle green lehenga and a pink cold shoulder choli for the chunari ritual.

"Good morning hubby... Will be there in some time." Avni replied and continued to get ready.

*Khanna Mansion*

"Haye Avni...inni soni lag rahi hai puttar, haan ab samajh aaya ki humara tillu itna lattoo kyu hai tujhpe " Bebe teased Avni while praising her beauty and all others had a hearty laugh.

Avni's eyes kept searching Neil... he wasn't seen anywhere around the house. After several attempts of finding him she finally enquired Shwetha.

"Mummy ji... voh voh Neil kahi dikhayi nai de raha... kaha hai voh?"

"Ayega beta... yahi paas mein gaya hai kisi kaam se...aa jayega." Shwetha said caressing Avni's cheek.

"Ji...mummy ji " Avni said and Shwetha left the place searching for Beema.

Avni felt disappointed thinking "last night he was all restless to see me and now when I'm here he's disappeared! Ajeeb hai..." mumbling to herself she was walking along the corridor.

"Aaa..." she felt a strong hand around her waist from behind and another hand put on her mouth before she could yell loudly, she was pinned to the wall in the room adjacent to the corridor.

"Ssshhh... Mein hu..." Neil whispered as he took his hand off from her mouth and locked the door of the room.

"Uff...Neil..." Avni gasped. He went near and held her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"Haan...meine mom se jhoot bola ki mein bahar jaa raha hu.." Neil read her confused face and clarified.

"Oh toh ACP sahab...boliye...kyu laye aap mujhe yaha?" Avni asked.

"Hein? Khana banane ke liye " Neil turned away his grinning face at her stupid question.

"Haha Neil...acha sorry...dekho idar" Avni cupped his face and turned his face towards her as if she was prepared for next gesture by him.

He went close to her...she also leaned close to him... hardly there was any gap between their bodies which suppressed against each other.

He looked into he eyes...lingering his fingers on her cheek and near her lips he said in a husky voice... "Avni...tumne mujhe kal ek tohfa diya...uske badle return gift nai logi kya? "

All Avni could reply was a shy smile, lowering her eyes in acceptance. It was enough for Neil to understand her answer...he touched her bare waist with his right hand, he held her neck with his left hand and moved his lips close to hers...just a centimetre away from touching her lips...he paused sensing no response from her. He raised his eyes from her lips to he eyes... she clutched his hair and laundered her fingers on his ear lobes and neck...

And now... he sealed the gap which he left between their lips with a deep passionate kiss.

Avni also reciprocated with the same intensity as his...they both let each other feel the sumptuousness of their lips and mouth... they relished each second of being so close.The kiss which started passionately had now turned into a fierce one...

Avni and Neil were so engrossed in themselves that they totally forgot about the world,their family, their rituals,their function,their wedding nothing... nothing seemed to come across their mind. It was after 2 minutes that they parted back for the much needed respiration..

But they were still lost in each other's eyes even while panting that they couldn't realise that someone had knocked the door many times by then.
