Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

Preeti's Point of view

I put diye in every corner of terrace. I take last diya from the tray and put it on the railing and bent down to put it on the floor but it extinguished when I put it on the floor. Suddenly a hand came from behind me with a blown candle. I turn my head and look at Siddharth. He lit up diya again.

We both stand straight and look at each-other.

"Careful.." I warned Siddharth when candle's wax fell on his hand. But I was too late. He quickly drop the candle due to the sudden burning sensation. I chuckled at his reaction.

"You look beautiful when you smile. I'm going to miss this." He said, looking at me.

My smile faded and my eyes reflected his sad one.

"I wanted to spend every single second with you and wanted to create beautiful memories before we leave for New york." He said taking a step towards me. He take my hand in his and touched our forehead.

"Don't worry I meet you in your dreams every night until marriage." I said with a smile to lighten his mood and he chuckled softly.

"I wanted to ask you something?" I said while lowering my head.

"When everyone will sleep, can you come with me? I want to show you something." I said while tucking a strand behind my ear. I don't know what he thinks about me but I really wanted to show him my favourite place.

"Why..?? Are you planning to do some inappropriate things with me? Well I won't mind if you do." He asked me mischievously. I looked at him with a shock.

"What, no..no.. wo I just..it's okey if you don't want to come. It's alright." I said and turn to leave.

He chuckled and turn me around by my wrist and pull me closer by holding me by my waist.

"I will wait for you in my car when everyone sleep." He said. Our head is almost touching. I nodded my head.

He pulled me more closer to him. I put my both hand on his shoulder to support me.

"You look dead gorgeous today and giving me a hard time to keep my hands to myself. " He whispered in my ear in his husky voice and put his head in a crook of my neck and inhale deeply.

"Maa was right, After marriage I will not let you leave our room at least three month." He said.

He slowly trace his fingers on my bare stomach. I gasped when an electric spark is flowing in my whole body. My heart is beating fast and I clutched his shoulder tight. My nails are digging in his shoulder. He gave a soft kiss on my shoulder and touched my navel directly to his thumb and make small circles around it. I gasped when he take my earlobe in his mouth and bit it lightly and kissed me behind my ear. I hold him by his neck and pull his hair lightly on his nape.

He pull his head from my shoulder and start leaning in. He put his one hand on my left chick and push my hair back by tangling his fingers in my hair and pull me towards him.

His soft lips touched mine and he take my lower lip in his and lick it softly. It's not the deepest one kiss it's a innocent one.

"Happy diwali Preeti..." he said touching our foreheads.

"Happy Diwali.. I wanted to wish you in person since morning but I didn't get a chance. " I said lowering my head.

"Well, you get it now my love." He said and pull me for another lip kiss. As his lips was going to touched mine we heard a footsteps. We both pulled back immediately. I took a tray from the railing and walked from there.

After dinner we all youngs present in a lawn for bursting fire cracker's and elders are playing cards in a livingroom. All girls and ladies bursting a small cracker's like sparklers, flowerpots, ground spinners and boys are bursting a bomb, garlands of fire crackers and rockets. Children's are playing with eachother.

'Bboooooommmm..'

I flinched at the sound and put my hand on my heart. I turn my head and saw Siddharth was standing with a diwali bomb and smile along with Anshul.

I took a large box of sky shot from the table.

"Preeti, where are you taking this." Shivani di asked me looking at the sky shot in my hand.

"I wanted to try something new." I said while shrugging my shoulder.

I put a sky shot on a floor and lit a lighter to lit a thread of sky shot. When I try to lit it up I pulled back before it lit it. This is my first time with a sky shot. I saw keerti and puja easily bust sky shots and many diwali bombs. I tried many time but fail. I step back before it lit it. I was about to given up when I felt a pair of hand on my shoulder. I saw Siddharth is standing beside me. We both look at each other. He put his left hand on my shoulder. We both bent down. He held my hand in which I hold a lighter. His other hand on my shoulder slides to my waist and hold me from there. He held my other hand in his and lit the thread of sky shot in one attempt. When the thread is lit up he held my hand in his and walked from there and stand with others.

So many rockets with different colours with sparkles covering the sky in an umbrella shape. I looked at them. They looks so beautiful; my eyes is sparkling with a colour of sky shot and my smile is became wider. I turn my head to look at Siddharth and he is already looking at me with a smile and love in his eyes.
........................................................................

I was in kitchen making coffee for everyone. I was still in my lehnga because I didn't get a chance to change it and Siddharth liked to see me in this so I didn't change my clothes. I took a tray with a cups of coffee and walk to the living room. Everyone is in a living room sitting on a cozy carpet on the floor with blankets except elders and children.

Shivani di is sitting between Shikha bhabi and Anjit jiju and beside him Riya di is sitting between Pulkit jiju and Rohan Bhiya. Siddharth is sitting beside Keerti, puja, Anshul and Aditya and his back is leaning to the wall. Everyone is sitting in a circle.
