Annika was seated beside shivaay in the mandap ,OM was filled with friends and family .Shivika were obediently following the Pandit's instructions silently stealing each other's glances through each second with a smirky grin on his face along with a shy essenceful smile on her's .Then the Pandit asked him to extend his hand ,on which annika's hand was tangled with a flower in her palm and the Pandit started reciting some mantras.While these two people here ,were just totally lost in each other .Suddenly annika's eyes widened when she felt him tracing her foot with the thumb finger of his leg,he was doing it with a sheepish smile on his face.

She looked around if anyone was noticing it before whispering ,

A- hey idiot, what are you doing ?

S- vo sab chodo ,tell me one thing first (he whispered)

A- hmm?(she responded slightly leaning onto him )

S- since when did you started looking ...(he paused )

A- hmm ,aage?(she nudged his shoulders slightly)

S- I'm astounded! paanika ,tum bahut hi khoobsurat lag rahi ho aaj.I can't believe this ,matlab itne din kahan gayab hogayi hai ye magic.(he said dreamily )Kahan hai vo pagal ladki paanika,Ms.Beautiful woman!?

And all she could do at that moment was just control her flourishing blush which was suppressing her control though. While he adored her more ,as this was the first time he's catching her blushing. The point to be noted was ,the reason behind that blush was he himself .He felt proud!With all their ,coziness they both didn't notice the Pandit who was asking them to stand for the pheras. But soon annika came out from her blushing world and signalled him to look away and he did he casually, actor kahin ka !

Making a promise through each passing round ,hand in hand they took the 7 pheras and pinky just stood with contended smile on her face.

Then the Pandit forwarded the taali with mangalsutra to shivaay for which he immediately looked at annika who passed on a happy blink .After which he gently looped the mangalsutra around her neck and clutched it with his eyes completely dived into her's .Doing it , he looked down to find her fists crushing his dress which made him look at her face which was wavering in a nervous smile with a glistening eyes .He smiled at her act and instantly intertwined his fingers with her's and gave an assuring smile seeing which nodded slightly.

Taking the coin which was had the sindoor applied along ,he slowly raised her maang teeka and traced the coin on her hairline .She closed her eyes feeling the moment through heart .He ,on the other side made a strong promise to himself to stand by her through every problem in life .While looking at her happy face he made a mental note to do everything which would suffice to hold up this smile on her face till eternity .

At night

Shivaay came inside his room to be surprised by the decoration ,

S- oops! Aaj special night haina ,how did I forget it .

He spoke to himself while walking towards the bed and instantly his mouth changed to O shape when he watched her sleeping on the bed ,spreading her legs and hands all over the bed leaving no space for anyone to even take a seat.She hadn't even changed her dress and jewelleries. The gungat was still on her head and there she was lying in the middle of the cot with a pillow on her stomach which he knew was her habit of her's to keep it like that in sleep.

S- sleepyhead ! (he said in a quite loud voice )

A- I heard it (she replied with closed eyes )

S- so you are awake still ?

A- I'm hell sleepy but ,I can't sleep with this heavy thing (she indicated the earing)

S- remove it then,

A- bahut tired hoon mein...(she stretched and got up to sit )

S- tho?(he looked at her suspiciously knowing what's on her list next)

A- help karo na plss ...

She told in an extra sugary tone while extending her hands insisting him to start with the bangles .He ,just pushed a sigh and sat beside her and worked on removing the bangles while she had already laid her head on his shoulder, leaving out a lengthy yawn she complained ...

A- hogayi?kitna time lagaoge??(she asked in a sleepy tone)

S- lo, tum hi karlo khud (he reacted leaving her hand )

A- acha baba ,sorry sorry .Araam se karo ,haan !

And again she leaned on him wrapping her hands around his shoulders ,making his frustrated.

S- how will I remove the bangles if you keep your hands like this?

A- mein so gayi ,(she said bluntly closing her eye )

Rolling his eyes ,he somehow managed to continue his work but by now she had put her full weight on him .

S- it's our first night today and dekho mein kya kar raha hoon ?(he said to himself in cute tone)

A- what did you say ?(she reacted immediately)

S- what happened to your sleep now? (he asked teasingly )

A- I asked ,what did you say ?

S- kya,what did I say wrong?Hamara first night hai aaj ,tho...(he acted to be normal )

A- tho ?(she asked raising her eyebrows with a smirk )

S- tho .... muje nahi pata (he struggled )

A- why ?aaj kya special hai ?Night tho night hai ,(she behaved being innocent)

S- I don't know (he declared and turned )

A- kitna bada bulb ho tum ,tubelight nightlamp sab ho tum (she teased deliberately)

S- hey ,bulb mat kaho muje .(he warned )

A- then ? Aur kya bolungi mein ,you know nothing right (interrupted)

S- no no ,I know everything about first night.(he blurted cutely being irritated by her teasings )

A- hawww ! Biwi se aise bathein karoge ?"I know everything about first night "(imitating him)

S- tum naa ...chodunga nahi tuje ,

Before he could hold her ,she started running around the room and he followed her throughout, not in the mood of leaving her today .While running around the bed ,he somehow caught hold of her hand which made her trip but he caught hold of her soon and within no time they both hit the bed with him on top of her.

She lied closing her eyes tightly with still clutching his collar with both her hands .While he just got himself lost in the beautiful lady infront. Feeling his continuous breath hitting her cheecks ,she managed to open her eyes slowly which soon became to be held up with his's. She didn't realize it ,but her hands had now reached his neck and seemed to have been coiled around it even,while one of his hands was wrapped around her waist ,the other was pressed on the bed for support .With their faces just being an inch apart, she could no longer manage to look into his sparkling blue orbs which suddenly seemed so captivating to her not like any other day ,and soon she closed her eyes tenderly as though she was expecting something. He ,who noticed this gently removed the hair strands which were spread on her forehead and some which were struck between her lips .On feeling the smooth touch of his fingers on her lips, she tightened her hold on his neck ,feeling which he smiled .Her heart was raging fastly as this feeling which was inculcating in her is something extremely new to her .She could certainly feel her breath getting uneven ,like this was definitely making her insane .And soon a peaceful feel reached her heart ,when she felt his lips on her forehead .With a lovely smile already occupied on her face ,she opened her eyes to see him still staring at her with the same intensity .Again he leaned towards her and kissed her forehead ,and this time she smiled more widely expressing her shyness .Caressing her cheecks he spoke ,

S- annika ,we both are married now and I even know ki tumhe kaise feel hoga ,like till yesterday we were friends and today we are husband and wife .(he spoke looking into her eyes) Hamein pyaar karne ka mauka hi nahi mila in sab mein , I can feel and understand your nervousness. Hamara pyaar shuru hote huwe hi shaadi hogayi .Mein tumhari saath jeena chahtha hoon annika ,teri lover banke jeena chahtha hoon. Mere best friend tho bahut pehle hi ban gayi ho ,aur ab mere wife bhi ban chukki ho par mein tumhe mere lover banke dekhna chahtha hoon .Mein hamare pyaar ki khoobsurthi ko gently explore karna chahtha hoon ,like I want to live in love with you .And I know, you would also feel the same .So ,ham ye ...samaj rahi hona (he nodded )

She ,who was listening to him carefully all this time just got up and sat quietly without replying anything. Being confused he sat beside her and held her hand .

S - annika?

Before he could speak further, she engulfed him in a heartwarming hug with her chin placed on his shoulder and he who was surprised at first gradually reciprocated .

A- I love you shivaay (she spoke with almost glistened eyes )

And immediately his eyes widened in happiness as she's proposing him for the very first time ! Instantly he pulled apart looked at her with the same excitement ,

S- what did you say ?(being surprised )

A- good things happens only once idiot, waise ye idiotgoals kab sweet si hubbygoals bani ?(she asked while coiling her arm around his shoulder)

S- hmm !hubby?(he bent down to look at her face and she just looked away feeling shy )

A- muje...muje neend aarahi hai(she stammered)

S- for your kind information ,I'm not stoping you wifey!

He spoke insisting that she was the one holding him still ,she instantly took her hands back .

A- mein change karke aathi hoon ,

Saying which she ran into the restroom ,

S- paanika (he murmured with a chuckle following it )

After changing she came out to find him on the bed ,

A- where will I sleep ?

S- isn't this space enough for you (he asked after moving a bit )

A- it's ok ,but you know right. I sometimes kick while sleeping (she said being embarrassed)

S- oh my God! I just forgot it .How am I going to manage with this girl (faked crying )

A- enough ! Jyada mat karna, I don't do it always ...bass kabhi kabhi (she spoke while taking her place beside him )

S- let's hope then (he mocked )

A- goodnight (she stated and hid herself inside the duvet not even waiting for the reply "goodnight" which he muttered )

It was nearly 2pm in night ,and both of them were on their deep sleep but suddenly shivaay woke up when he felt her dropping her leg in a thud on his's while sleeping .Before he could react to it ,she threw away the pillow inbetween them and hugged him close with her blocking all his movements. "Oh God! now I've to lye like a statue "he thought,because she had already caged him within her and there was no way he could move out .Defeated ,he somehow managed to close his eyes and continued sleeping after murmuring "aadat dal lo shivaay" to himself.

Morning

He being an early riser first woke and to his least surprise ,she was holding him in the same position still.Sighing he turned towards her ,but finding her sleeping peacefully in his arms just gave an immense pleasure to him .He plastered a victorious smile ,only he knew the reason behind it .It was like finally ,they are together for life and after it even ! This itself was all enough for him to feel contented .And now he had to make plans to wake up from there without disturbing her .He slowly neared her face and gently blew her hair strands due to which she took her hands away from him and tucked her hair in sleep during which he somehow released himself from her hold and stood up .

He didn't know why but he just casually blew a flying kiss to her ,and to his surprise she immediately smiled in her sleep as though she felt it .

It was past 9 am in the morning when she woke up,stretching her arms to the fullest she came to the living room to find him there seated reading the newspaper .

A- good morning Mr.Hubby !

Without replying he passed a dangerous glare to her .

A- now what did I do ?haan ?

S- ye kya hai ?

He showed the very first page on the newspaper which had a big picture of their wedding in the middle with the page filled with numerous paragraphs of that particular news .He asked with a angry glare for which she had already developed a puppy face .
