SHIPRA POV

 

“We will stay together from today” he announced.

 

I got shocked hearing this and opened my eyes and looked at him.

 

“What”? I asked as if I was still not sure of what he said.

 

“U hear me already Rani sa”. He didn't budge from his position and his eyes are still closed.

 

Ok, so he has said this. Now, what to do? I know for a fact it is not easy to convince him. I bit my lips and started thinking about the idea but nothing was coming to my mind.

 

“I told you it’s only my right to do this.” I instantly obliged, releasing my lips smiling. Now I am sure he has eyes on his backside as well.

 

Oh my God, is he really a ghost? My mind thought but the next second I laughed loudly at my thoughts.

 

“You can share what makes you so happy suddenly.” I heard his voice.

 

Ignoring him completely because I don’t want to share my stupid thoughts and make fool of myself I said slowly “Shivay.”

 

He “hmmm” and I rolled my eyes. God he and his hmmm.

 

I again pulled up and said, “You know what are you saying”?

 

“I never say anything without thinking darling.” God this stubborn man I thought.

 

"And you know that’s not possible right?" I said crossing my finger.

 

He looks up and sat back on the sofa and look at me. He bends a little towards me and adjust my dress properly and give me hand to sit back and I did. He again pulls me back to his lap and I look down in shame.

 

First, this is so embarrassing of whatever we did, and second, the way he touched me and I let him do everything without any complaint.

 

God, please let me die today. I close my eyes thinking.

 

"Rani Sa you don’t have to get embarrassed by anything. Let’s not forget we are Man and Wife and we have rights to do more them this."

 

Hearing this I got some ease, he is right we are now Man and Wife and we have all rights on each other.

 

I bit my lips and control my smile and look up and he was already looking small admiring smile.

 

He releases my lips his thumb and shakes his head in No, and I know the meaning better.

 

“So now tell me why is not possible,” he asked me.

 

“Because we are not married Hukum” I stated matter of fact.

 

He touches my Mangalsutra (Nuptial Chain) and said "then why are you wearing this if we are not married?"                                         

I pout in annoyance "I know we are married but I want to get married with all rituals and till then we can’t stay together and that’s final."

 

He raises his eyebrows and I know I have crossed my limits.

 

"I can’t live without you not even for a second. And we are staying together from today and that is final." He declared looking directly into my eyes and I shudder at his looks.

 

But somehow anger is raising in me, and I know I will burst out any minute so I got up and went towards the kitchen as I need water to calm myself.

 

I filled my glass and drink in one go and close my eyes holding platform.

 

I felt his arms on my waist. And he hugs me from behind.

 

I stayed still as I am still trying to calm myself.

 

"You don’t want to be with me?" He asked me putting his head on my shoulder.

 

Holding his hand and turn around his side and hold his face with my tiny palm. I know he is lonely, Dada Hukum has shared a few things about him. Like he doesn’t have any friends other than Karan Bhai Sa because he has a major trust issue.

 

"Hukum do you think I don’t want to be with you? I want to be with you all the time if possible I want to be in your arms forever but we need to understand there are few more lives are attached to us." Saying I paused to see his reaction but I got none so again I said "Do you know how much Masa and Babasa are excited about this marriage? And what about Dada Hukum? They all have been preparing for our big day for since long.

And also I only have three days with my parents and I want to cherish that time with them.

After that, I am all your day and night. But till then please understand. It's only two days from now. Tomorrow is Mehandi and Day after we are getting married.

Masa Baba sa respected our decision of being married today, don’t you think we should fulfil their dreams too?" I asked looking into his eyes and I know I got a bullseye.

 

"So after that, you will be mine ALL DAY AND NIGHT?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

 

"You only got this in all what I said?" I asked in disbelief.

 

"Rani Sa I am a businessman, and profit is the only thing which interests me." He says smirking at me.

 

"So this all is business for you?" I asked in little anger.

 

He shakes his head and said “nope but the profit margin is very high in your proposal”. He said with a playful smile.

 

“So are accepting my proposal”? I asked in hopeful eyes.

 

He kissed my forehead and said "Yes."

 

I squeal in happiness and hug him tightly. "Thank you so much Shivay."

 

"You are welcome now let’s go. I will drop you home first then I will go to the hospital." HE says holding my hand.

 

"Why? Let me come with you." I request while walking behind him.

 

"No it’s too late and tomorrow you have a long day so go and take a rest. I will call you and once Dada Hukum wakes up and see you Day after." Saying that he look back at me and kissed my nose.
