"Aaah...aa gaya" Shilpa murmured nervously as she heard some footsteps coming towards the room...and rushed to the bed to present herself as a traditional bride.
The door opened and star of the night Mr Armaan Malik entered with a dazzling smile on his face. His smile showed how content and happy he was. His eyes searched for his bride and stopped at the red figure on the bed. And finally the realisation dawned upon him "This is his wedding night" and the nervousness kicked in.
"Err hmmm" He clearedd his throat and slowly made himself comfortable on the bed.
He lifted the veil and his eyes forgot to blink...he was truely mesmerized.
"You look beautiful" Armaan exclaimed in a dazed state which was enough to bring a shade of red on Shilpa's cheeks.
Armaan held her hands gently and gave a light peck...
"You know I had a crush on you during college times" he revealed a fact...Shilpa was feeling flattered. But the nervousness was still there so she avoided to look into his eyes.
"Shilpa...getting married to you was just an innocent dream of mine ...but destiny made it come true...I am so happy that I want to celebrate all night" Armaan expressed his happiness.
"Celebrate all night...I don't have that much stamina...aur mujhe to kuch thik se pata bhi nahi"Shilpa was going all gross in her mind hearing Armaan's words.
Shilpa was in her thoughts. ..when Armaan again spoke"Ek kadam maine badhaya...ab tumhari baari."
Saying this he settled on the bed shrugging his sherwani dupatta.
"Mmmai kya karoon...mujhe shuru karne ke liye keh kar khud let gaya" Shilpa murmed nervously..."First I should switch off the light"Shilpa got an idea ...her filmy knowledge was helping her atleast.
"What the...light kyu off kar di?" Armaan at once spoke.
"Kitna besharam hai...bina light off kiye ..never" Shilpa thought.
"I can't do this if the light is on...chhi how can you"She stood on the bed and scowled at him.
"Hang on hang on...what r u thinking" Armaan asked and seeing Shilpa's expressions... he was finally enlightened about Shilpa's inner thoughts and next second his loud roars of laughter echoed in the whole room.
"Mrs Malik. ..I must say I am impressed...and I simply bow down to your ever so great thoughts" Armaan finally said after laughing to his heart's content.
"What I meant was let's celebrate this occasion with some romantic talks and little romance" He then showed the "little" with his fingers. But if you want to celebrate it that way...I am in for it" Armaan winked.
Shilpa was all sharm se paani paani...again she had made a fool out of herself.
"Mmh...yes ..no...I mean I need some time" Shilpa said by avoiding the eyelock.
"Hmm...the party is due then...we will rock the party at the right time..what say" Armaan winked...and to hide her blushing cheeks. .Shilpa locked herself in the bathroom.
Finally after half an hour Shilpa Malik graced the room in her simple nightwear. She was shy..hesitant all at the same time. She saw Armaan all changed in his nightwear. It seems he was waiting for her .
After five minutes..the Malik couple was found chatting intimately on the bed. Their faces were radiating. The nervousness was long gone .
------
Next morning. ..the alarm clock broke the couple's sleep. "Mmmh Muski band karo" Shilpa said in a groggy voice and again went to sleep. But she was again woken up...but this time by a sweet kiss..she opened her eyes only to absorb the reality and she at once sat on the bed.
" Good morning" Armaan wished and Shilpa eciprocated with a smile.
Both came down for the breakfast and wished their parents.
"Ahaan newly weds...time par..." Ananya teased ..to which Armaan shook his head..his mother can never change..she was too cool .
"Mamma I m a Professor. ..I m always on time" Armaan replied.
"Haan haan apna gyan mujhe mat de...aur Shilpa umhe zyada gyaan de..toh ise iske hi class se out kar dena" Ananya said looking at Shilpa.
" Haan hum mass bunk maar ke movie dekhne jayenge..kyu Annie" Billy winked at his wife which earned him a light slap.
Shilpa was amazed to see such a cute family. Her mother passed away when she was 12..so she never got to see her parents teasing each other like this. She really liked her in laws..they were cool and fun to be with.
---------
"Sab theek se pack kiya" Ananya asked Shilpa..."Haan mamma bas ye saariyan " Shilpa showed her the sarees which were still not inside the suitcase.
"Arre inka kya kaam waha...casual kapre rakh liye na...ek do rakh lo...saari roz roz kaun pehenta hai" Ananya advised to which Shilpa smiled and locked the sarees in the wardrobe.
And now Armaan and Shilpa were rushing in order to reach the airport at time. They had a flight to catch at 6 and they still were on their way.
Finally they were inside the flight and looking forward to start a new jouney.
