Stop messaging me! It's hard to type with single hand.

Do you really think I can?!

That's it, I am going! See you tomorrow in haldi!!

Wait!

Where are you???!!!!!

Hellllooooo!!

Avni tried her best to concentrate on her beautiful surrounding rather than her impelling desire to reply her fiancé. She smiled as she saw her giggling mom in a corner busy with the guest. And just right beside her mom, she saw her brother Aman taking care of catering. Everyone seems to be happiest which made her heart overwhelm in joy.

He have to wait, you anyhow cannot message once they finish applying henna in your left hand, avni's inner goddess advised her thoughtfully. All she could do was to bite her cheeks to divert her concentration from the inherent pain of ignoring her phone beeps.

"Where should I write the groom's name" avni gasped at the mehendi girl as she pulled her out from a deep pit. Pit of thoughts it seems, which kept her occupied all this time. She looked at her hands and her eyes twinkled at her bridal mehendi which is yet to be named. To be named as his, by all senses. She smiled herself before facing the confused girl once again who is waiting for her reply.

"Here!!!" avni pointed towards the left end of her left palm. "Write 'N K' here" she smiled.

"Only 'N K'!" she asked, while Avni nodded confirming before drifting back to the surroundings. She saw swetha aunty appreciating her choice of place, chuckling in joy which she acknowledged back with pride. There is no way Neil is goanna find that, she thought.

"Avni you go and take rest in your room. I will send someone to feed you dinner." neelamaa said smiling at avni's finished henna while avni noticed her smudged kajal. She must have just wiped her tears after getting overwhelmed recognising that her  daughter is grown up. 

 "Maa, I am fine here." Avni replied biting her cheeks again trying hard not to cry in front of her mother. Avni is in the exact phase of what every Indian bride's go through exactly a day before their marriage.

Neelamaa kissed avni's forehead smiling warmly at her, "You need to rest bacha. You can't sit like this for long time. Just do as I say." Four hours of mehendi makes anyone tired. And avni cannot be any exception to deny the fact. Thus she nodded as she tired to stand to move to her room. Her friends immediately helped her with the lehenga as she started to walk carefully keeping a look at her leg and ankle designs.

Sighing as she changed into her tee and sweatpants, she sat on bed with pillows on both the sides, she found it uncomfortable to sit with folded knees. This is how it's goanna be; she groaned resting her back at the bed rest. A night of uncomfortable nap followed by the dreams of the upcoming big day. It all seemed different to avni.

Observing deeply each curves of her design she was distracted at the faint knock of the open door. Even without looking at the invader avni nodded faintly in approval. The noise of the door knob made avni look towards it in astonishment. One look at the person her jaw dropped and before she could say anything the door was already locked securely.

"Neil!!!" avni gasped in disbelief as he placed the dinner plate in the bedside table. "What do you think you are doing here" she continued as he dragged the beanbag near the bed side besides her but didn't sit on it.

"I came here to feed my wifey who is hungry, obviously" Neil shrugged casually before holding her arms and pulling her forward carefully. Avni moved herself as directed by him careful enough to not touch his kurta. "But neelamaa said that" avni couldn't continue as Neil interrupted as he has pulled her to the edge of the bed, "I asked her, and she said ok." He replied chuckling seductively at her as he sat on the beanbag. "It was just a night" avni gasped as Neil pulled her short legs and placed it on his lap such a way that the end of her leg was hanging free. 

Ummm!! Much comfortable, avni's inner goddess appreciated as she spread the leg a little so that both the ankles cannot rub off. "I couldn't stay without talking to you and you know how much I love our late night conversations" he spoke honestly looking into her eyes while placing her right elbow on his left shoulders moving closer to her. Her other elbow was pressing the fluffy pillow rack besides her left side. She smiled noticing the comfortable arrangement he made in no seconds.

"Do you" she blushed as he licked his lower lip while staring at her, "Do you love me that much?" she asked like a idiot Inspite of knowing the answer. "You know that I do" he replied stuffing the morsel of roti in her mouth. Avni gulped the piece on whole as she forgot to chew in his intense gaze. 

"Bite your food instead" he advised as he made her drink water even before she could recognize that she was about to choke.

The dinner was not that long as expected. Half of the time either avni forgot to chew or they were occupied with random conversations. As they completed Neil made avni lie on him while he supported her hands together resting against the bed rest.

Avni stirred a lot before finding herself in a comfortable position. She couldn't stop blushing as she felt Neil grunting every time she made an impromptu move. But less he complained. "You ok now" he grumbled as she just now supported her elbow on his right abdomen to settle comfortably. "Yes" she chuckled with naughty smile as he enveloped his arms around her finally getting one comfortable position to sleep. Not long after letting ease Neil heard avni mumbling slowly, "you have not switched off the lights" which made him chock. Avni hid her evil smile buried inside the crook of his neck as she heard him swear under his breath.
