Gauri after half hour came out with a new baby pink saree… and was wiping her hair….. And walking fast to the dressing table in a hurry….. And Shiv was still sitting in bed…. Contemplating the events of the night….when he saw Gauri come out of the bathroom….. For the first time…. Gauri was in his room…. Had taken a shower and was walking in his room….. He was amazed at the beauty she was…. And her wet hair and her saree were making his mind go wild….
Gauri rushed to the mirror and just remembered that she put all the Gold and ornaments in the bathroom shelf….so she quickly hurried back to the bathroom… and after few minutes… brought all the gold ornaments in her hand and placed them in front of the mirror and started wearing them….
Shiv was just watching Gauri… where as Gauri was in a hurry to get ready and she completely forgot that Shiv was still in the room…
Shiv slowly got down from the bed…. And walked towards gauri and was standing behind her in the mirror… smiling at the hurry Gauri was in getting ready….. And she was forgetting with her bangles… as they were not moving on her hand easily…. And Shiv smiled and slowly came forward and placed his hand on Gauris hand….. And her smooth skin texture was making him loose his senses…. Still he controlled him self… and Gauri….. When Shiv touched her…. Slowly lifted her eyes… to understand what was going on…. And on Seeing shiv…she had a jolt…. And felt shy and lowered her eyes…but did not resist shiv from holding her hand…..
Shiv slowly took Gauris hand and moved the bangles…on the hand…when Gauri gave a pain moan… she immediately…. Lowered him self in front of her and then slowly…. Started moving the bangles… by pressing Gauris fingers closer…..
Gauri just watched Shiv ….. Who was So concentrated in getting the bangles on her hand…without pain….. Her heart raced…. And she felt a little uncomfortable….
Shiv after fixing the bangles left her hand…. And slowly got up and met Gauris eyes which were staring at his….and gave a sweet smile…. Seeing this Gauri lowered her eyes….
When the moment of theirs was disturbed by a knock on the door…. And both came startled out of their dream land…. Gauri got up and rushed to the door and Shiv started walking toward the bathroom… thinking…he should also get ready…..
Gauri opened the door a little to find….. Nikhila standing… there guilty for knocking on the door…and she said…. 'sorry beta… disturb toh nahi kiyana….' and gauri blushed and nodded negatively… and nikhila said… 'beta… zara jaldise tum dono tayar hokar neche aajao beta… puja ka waqt ho raha hai….aur Shiv tayar ho gaya beta…..?' and Gauri said… 'mama… who abhi tayar hone gaye hain…' and Nikhila said… 'beta… who zara Shiv ki kapade nikal kar rakh dena beta… who…. Agar kapade nikalegana….toh pura room kapadonse bar dega…' saying this she smiled and Gauri gave a cute smile… at shiv's sillyness and nodded…. And Nikhila went and gauri closed the door…. And turned and started walking towards the closet to keep all the things….in and take out Shivs dress… She took out the closet and removed the Coat…. and was removing the shirt …… When… Shiv came out of the bathroom with a towel… wrapped around his waist and water droplets dripping from his body….
saw guari keeping his dress out….. he smiled to himself and walked toward the cupboard… Gauri was totally engrossed in taking out the shirt….for the suite… from the cupboard… she did not see shiv coming ….
Shiv came near her and stood few steps away from her behind her…and was looking at her smiling… gauri turned from the cupboard.. to keep the shirt…. And she came and banged into him… and was about to fall back..when shiv holded her with his arms… and once she was ok… shiv kept holding her and looking at her lovingly…and gauri started to blush…and tried to get up… but was slipping so… she caught hold of his shoulders… and in the process to get straight… her cheeks brushed shivs… the moment it did…both felt a urge developing in them… shiv was holding gauri by her bare waist as she was wearing a saree … as soon as this happened..both… stood there staring at eachother lovingly… and Gauri could nolonger keep up with Shiv looking at her so lovingly… that… she lowered her eyes… and just stood there… blushing… making her cheeks go red… Shiv who was not taking eyes of her… smiled a little..and saw that… when she brushed against his face..a few drops of water… were lingering… oh her cheek… so he slowly moved his hand and brought it near her cheek.. And was hesitating to keep his hand on the face to wipe the drops of water…but then he slowly…. with his thumb started wiping the drops of water.. when Gauri lifted her… eyes… and looked at him… and Shiv slowly bent forward and he was so mesmerized by her that his mind was no more under his control…. and Gauri…could feel his breath on her neck and cheek… and felt her hands go cold…and started blushing and turned to leave from there….not able to see shiv standing there with his bear chest … she was getting tensed… and to not show her urge to him…she wanted to walk from there… as soon as possible…
As soon as she took a step and was about to take the next shiv holded her hand from going any further and Gauri… was blushing… and shiv smiled to himself… and pulled her back… making her hit him… and this time he did not give her time to go back…he caught her waist tightly and pulled closer to himself…and… Gauri without lifting her eyes… as she was already blusing and if she looked at him..she would blush more… so she kept her eyes lowered and keeping her hands lightly touching his chest trying to go out….from his grip… and said… in a low voice…. 'Ji… koi aajayega… please chodiyena…' slowly in trembling voice…she was saying it..but did not really want to go from there…she was going weak in his touch…. Shiv looked at her… and saw her blushing a lot…and brought his face closer… and kissed her on the cheek and this made Goose bumps raise in Gauir's body….
and Gauri who was trying to stop herself…. Immediately removed her hands from his chest and SHiv pulled her closer and she hugged him tightly… with her hands on his back… and shiv… put his face on her shoulder and kissed her neck and Gauri was going weak in her feet…. He moved his hands from her waist to her back and hold her tightly… gauri could feel her muscles… becoming stiff and trying to pop out of the garment she was wearing… and shivs muscles were also becoming stiff she could feel that…he hugged her harder and slowly brought his hand to her bare back where there was no garment and Gauri trembled with his touch… and hugged him tightly… for life…. They were like that for few moments… and after few minutes… they came back to senses… and shiv lifted his head from Gauri's shoulder and looked at Gauri and who was still hugging him tightly and put his hand on her hair and just moved it slowly to the side… and gave a kiss on her shoulder bone.…. bringing Gauri back to her senses…. and Gauri..immediately pushed him a little… and walked fast from there without even looking at Shiv… but it was too late as soon as gauri caught the door…. To open it…. Shiv took hold of her hand and pushed the door back…. Gauri's heart started racing…. Thinking of Shivs presence so close to her….. And Shiv said…. 'Gauri….aj chod raha hu…. Lekin agli bar nahi chodunga….' and gave a smile and Gauri instinctively looked at him for his reaction…. And then blushed and
Hurriedly ran down stairs… and Shiv smiled and kept his fingers in his wet hair and combed them back… and grinned to himself… thinking about what just happened… and how they were attracted towards eachother….and smiled and shook his head….and took the dress that was there on the bed… and went into bathroom to get changed …… he was looking at himself in the mirror ….while wearing the shirt and he saw red spot on his chest… and curiously went near the mirror to look more closely… and then he looked at the spot on his chest and touched it…. And then found that it was red powder and then realized ….that it was Gauris… mangka sindoor and giggled to himself and smiled proudly at himself as if he has won an oscar….. and then he got ready…. and came down for the puja…..
His eyes were searching for that one person…. Gauri… when he was tapped on his shoulder and it was nikhila who asked him to sit in the pooja and Gauri is just coming with some of the puja things…. And So, Shiv sat in front of the Gods idle as told by the pandit…. And then Gauri arrived with the puja flowers and nikhila with the prasad…. And pandit told her to sit beside Shiv as they had to perform the puja together…..
As soon as Gauri came and sat…. shiv looked at her….. And smiled….. And Gauri just turned to look at him…. And could see the mischievousness in his voice…. She was blushing so she just averted her gaze and started concentrating on the puja… and then shiv and Gauri performed the puja….and all was done well….. All the guests greeted the newly wed….
Shiv was talking to some of his friends…. And Gauri…. Was standing with some of the women and smiling and talking to them…. When Gauri's little friends that she had made near her house…came by and Gauri excused her self and then the little kids took hold of her hand and pulled her to a few chairs, made her sit… and started talking to her…. And gauri was enjoying with them….
Shiv whose eyes were continuously looking for gauri…. Suddenly saw…. Her sitting with kids and laughing and having fun with them….. Shiv had a smile playing on his lips…. As he saw Gauri laugh…. And his friends teased him… for gazing at Gauri…. And then Shiv went back to talking to his friends….
Gauri was also from time to time checking where is Shiv from the corner of her eye…. And smiling to herself….but did not dare to look at him….or be anywhere near him….
Then slowly all the Guests are done… and family members were sitting… and talking…. Gauri and Shiv were sitting on one love seat of the sofa and nikhila mahen and vivan and other family members and Alokji were sitting around in other sofas and chairs….
Everyone were engrossed in conversation how the shadi took palce and how everything went by nicely…. And everyone were contributing to the discussion…. When slowly shiv slid his hand over Gauri's and started moving his fingers in a slow but rhythmic manner…. And Gauri was having shivers in her body…. And glanced at Shiv who just smiled and then started contributing in the discussion still playing with Gauris hand…. But Gauri was blushing and controlling her shivers not to make it obvious… and Shiv was enjoying…. This…. Although…. He was increasingly having urge to hug her…..Gauri was slowly trying to move her hand from under shivs… but as soon as she moved Shiv also moved onto her hand again….. And slowly later everyone departed… and then Shiv and Gauri were also asked to get changed and have some rest…. Just as Shiv and Gauri were climbing the stairs…. There was a man at the Door…standing….
It was a man standing with a big flower bockey in hand and said…. It was for Gauri…. Gauri just went to take it from him…. And Shiv stood on the step standing….and then the man gave a envelope to Gauri and Gauri curiously opened the envelope and immediately looked at Shiv…. With an anxiety in her face and found Shiv smiling at her…… and Nikhila asked…. 'Kya hain beta….?' and Gauri smiled and just lowered her eyes in shyness…. And Nikhila came and took the papers…. And found that they were papers for conformation of their flight to Switzerland. Nikhila hugged Gauri and then gave a kiss on her forehead and then looked at Shiv who was standing with his hands crossed and smiling…. And Mahen and Alokji who were standing not knowing what was going on…. Asked what it was …..
And Nikhila said….it…. 'Yeh! Toh shiv aur gauri ke honeymoon tickets hain…. Switzerland ke liye….' and Every one after listening felt very happy…. And then Mahen gave a pat on the shoulder of shiv and smiled to him…. And then They all asked looking at Shiv…. 'Kab key tickets book kiya hain beta…' and Shiv answered…. 'Aaj…..' and to this everyone were a little shocked….but then they were happy….. About this….
As soon as Gauri listened to this…. She slowly lifted her eyes and met Shivs…. Who was just looking at her for her reaction….. And as soon as their eyes met….. Shiv smiled at her….. And wincked at her….. And Gauris…. Heart skipped a beat….. She was feeling really nervous…. And her hands and forehead had sweat beads forming….
As soon as Shiv wincked at her Gauri lowered her eyes…. And then gave a small shy smile…..
And then Nikhila said… to gauir…. 'Beta, jakar…. Packing karlo beta…. Bahut kam samay hain….' and Gauri immediately nodded and slowly started walking with the bockey….. unable to meet anyones eyes…due to shyness….
On the steps…when she came onto the second step where Shiv was standing… she just turned her face a little… and then knowing that Shiv was looking at her… she started blushing profusely and went up walking fast….. To her room….
And then Nikhila said… 'beta…. Tu bhi jakar Gauri ko packing karne mein mad kar …. Flight key waqt mein abhi sirf…. 5 gante baki hain…' and gave the flight tickets to him…. And smiled at him….
Shiv nodded and went up the stairs…..

Here goes the update.....
I want you all to really enjoy this post...its a little steamy one.... I hope no one has any qualms about it..... and Please, keep writing your comments.... and I am going to reply to all your comments.... I appreciate all of them who have been a regular once to my FF and who have been waiting for my update....
Part 33:
Shiv came to the door of their room and found Gauri putting a stool and trying to remove a suitecase from above the cupboard as told to her by nikhila….
Shiv kept staring at Gauri with a smile on his face…. She had tucked her sari palu in her garment around her waist and This was giving a clear view of her curved waist and an unclear part of her bellybutton….
Gauri was trying to pull the bag down not realizing Shiv was standing there and watching….. Shiv's mind was going wild at the site he was getting to see…. Shiv sighed…. To himself thinking…. 'Kab banogi tum meri Gauri….. Ab mujhse intezar nahi hota…..' and looked at the sealing saying…. 'Ab aap ko hi kuch karna hoga….' asking God to help him out in this…… making a funny pleading face…. Shiv did not realise that he had made a noice when he was saying please to God…… 'Please….' which brought Gauri's attention towards the door where she found Shiv looking at her….. Smiling…. She immediately got down from the Chair….and adjusted her saree…. And stood there lowering her eyes…..when Shiv walked to her….. Gauris heart started racing thinking of Shiv coming closer to her….Shiv smiled to himself seeing the uncomfortableness in Gauri when he came near…. He slowly came near Gauri when Gauri's heart raced with exicitment But Shiv moved a little further from Gauri as he reached for the Chair to Get the Luggage bag from over the cupboard….
He put the bags down ….. Gauri reached for them and whispered a 'Thankyou…' when they came momentarily closer….. Shiv lifted his eyes from the bag to look at her lowered eyes….. Sighing again he gave the bag to her…. Walking slowly to the closet to get his things for packing….
When he turned to see her… she was looking at him differently …. He did not understand…. And just gave a questioning look at her….. And she just nodded her head negatively and took the luggage bag to the bed and started packing…..
Gauri started thinking…. 'I thought he would kiss me….' 'But why am I thinking like this…..' 'Why am I sad that he did not kiss me…' when she got no answer she looked once more at Shiv who was busy removing stuff from cupboard ….. She sighed and started packing….
Gauri changed into a light lavander color chunidar and Shiv into his casual jeans and T-Shirt…. Both were completely excited about spending the time together….. 'alone J' …
Nikhila, Mahen and Alokji wished them all the happiness and Joy and Shiv and Gauri took ashirwad from them ….and left for the airport…..
Shiv said that they would go to the airport alone as it is a late night flight and Mahen and Nikhila had agreed…..
Shiv and Gauri were sitting the backseat of the Car and Driver was driving the car to the airport….. The silence of the road…. The lonely streets…. The moonlight…. Made shiv look at Gauri….. Gauri was looking cute in that dress…. And when he realized she was looking out of the window…. He tried to look from over her what was so intresting for her there…. When he did not find anything….. He slowly moved his hand over hers….. On the car seat….. And as soon as Gauri felt shiv's hand on her hand…. She turned to look at him….. To find him simling at her….she lowered her eyes in shyness…. But realizing there was a third person in the car…. Gauri moved her hand slowly from under shiv's …. Shiv moved his hand back onto hers….. And she did not want to move her hand again… as she knew he would not leave her hand….so she just blushed …… at his expense….
Shiv looked at her blushing and knew…. He was having the right effect on her….. But he did not make any advances as there was a third person in the car…. But how he wished there was no one …. So that he could hug her tightly and kiss her….. Suppressing his feelings…. Inside made him press his hand tighter on Gauris… he made a Grip on her….. Gauri was having an anxiety and exciting feeling from his touch….. But she did not attempt to look at him…. Knowing she would go weaker now…..
They reached the airport…. And they checked the bags in…. and headed to the security check and once done they were going towards the gate and got themselves comfortably seated in the flight seats….
The flight started moving…. And it started to make an altitude when Gauri caught Shivs arm tighter…. Getting frightened…. And when shiv looked at her making a afraid face…he just put his other hand on hers…to make her comfortable….
Gauri was still afraid and clutched Shiv's hand tighter ….. In few minutes the plane took off and Gauri was comfortable again….but still Shiv kept holding her hand and Gauri also kept holding Shiv's hand….
She opened her eyes when she felt relieved to see Shiv staring at her with a smile and holding her hand…. She smiled and slowly tried to move her hand…. As soon as she tried to move her hand… Shiv came to his senses and gave a cute smile…. Gauri felt Shy… and she lowered her eyes…. And Shiv looked down and slowly removed his hand….
Both were really uncomfortable…as both had no one to talk to and both wanted to talk to each other but did not know what to talk…each thought that the other should start a conversation….
Gauri sat looking out of the plane window and Shiv kept looking at Gauri and things around….. But still both were thinking of the other…
After a while….. Gauri got up from her seat…. To go to the restroom…. And Shiv moved his legs for Gauri to passby…. But at the moment a cloud had to be passed by the plane and there was tremblence and Gauri lost her balance and came falling onto Shiv….. And sat in Shiv's lap and hugging him tightly…..
Their touch was mesmerizing their senses….. After few moments of hugging…. Shiv came back to senses… and realized the surroundings… and said to Gauri…. "Gauri…. Kuch nahi huwa…. Ab plane thik hai….tume darne ki zarurat nahi….." and Gauri lifted her chin and realized her surrondings….and instinctively got up from Shiv's lap and left for restroom…
Shiv smiled at himself…..and what just happened….
Gauri came back….from washroom and then sat in her seat…. And after a while dozed of to sleep…later Shiv too dozed of to sleep…. After a while…Gauri brought her head and dropped it on Shivs shoulder and once in sleep she took hold of Shivs hand with hers …and Shiv to slightly turned towards her and caught her hand and dozed of to sleep….
The flight journey was giving them time to relax after so much of hectic timing and marriage preparations…. They slept peacefully….
After a longtime had passed…. Shiv slowly got up…. And was about to move when he saw Gauri peacefully sleeping with her hands entangled with his and her head resting on his shoulder…
The airhostess came with juice and tried to ask in a louder voice what they want and Shiv signaled her to speak slowly and asked her to give a cup of juice…to him….
She smiled and gave the juice and went away…. Shiv kept looking at Gauri…. Due to her bent head some of her hair had come over her face…. So Shiv tried to slowly tuck her hair behind her ear…. But as soon as Shivs fingers touched Gauris she got up from sleep…. And then realized she was holding Shivs hand and she blushed and turned towards the window and straightned herself and covered herself with a shall ….
Shiv sighed… and asked Gauri…. "Gauri… kya tumhe khane keliye kuch chahiye…?" and Gauri nodded in a yes and then Shiv called for the airhostess and then Gauri asked her for juice …
The flight journey was pretty boring… Shiv and Gauri landed in Swiss airport and a vehicle was ready for them…. The man Gave Gauri a bockey of red rosses… Gauri smiled and took the bockey and then both were led to the car and Gauri got in and moved to the other end of the car so that Shiv could sit… Once they were comfortably seated …. The driver drove them…. And Gauri liked the spring time in Switzerland… while going in the car they came across flowering plants in different colors and shapes and sizes…. Gauri smiled at the sight of it…. She turned to share it with Shiv… but when she turned and looked at him… he was smiling at her… and she shyed away and looked back at the roadside plants…
The car drove through the city highways with flyovers and multiple roads to single road with long trees around the road…into paths…. With long lands of green grass… and small hills covered with green grass and some flowering plants…. The scene moved from multicomplexes side by side to single homes… with lot of yards…. Of garden around the house……
Gauri's smile widened as she saw these houses…. Now she was curious as to wear they were going to stay….
Finally, the car came to a halt in front of a home….. And the driver opened the car door for Gauri to get down…. And Gauri looked at Shiv… as if asking… "Are we going to stay here…" and Shiv moved his head…. Telling Gauri… "yes…." and Gauri got down…. From the car curiosly looking at the surroundings…
It was a home not too big not too small… it was a lonely house…far from other houses around…. It had beautiful rose plants of yellow, red, pink, white and daffodils of yellow and white and lillys and carnitions hanged around the balcony…. The house looked so beautiful from outside….
The road in front of the house was a mud path…. Which was thin like a walkway…. There was a black benz parked on the side of the house….. And a little futher from the house…. One could see few trees and further one could see bushes…. And there were little button flowers on the ground…. Which looked like a part of the grass was painted violet and a part was painted blue and a part was painted pink….
Turing around standing in front of the house one could see mountain peaks covered in snow…. Farther away from them….
The driver took out the luggage and then took out the home keys and asked them to come in…..
The house had a living area with beautiful furniture and had a kitchen and a bedroom. Most of the walls was occupied by large windows…. With curtains covering…them…..
Then house was decorated with red rose bockeys and there were rose petals put in the enterance of the door….
Gauri and Shiv stepped in….. and then looking at the bockeys and rose petals Gauri was excited and very happy….. It was like a dream land…. But it was really happening…. One could see the happiness in her eyes and in her smiles…. She looked at Shiv and smiled and went around the house…. Looking at how beautiful the house is…..
Shiv was just looking at her smiling…. And felt content that his choices were being liked…..
Gauri entered the bedroom….to find the bed had vails hanging from the celing and bed was beautifully decorated with flowers….. She felt shy….. Thinking what could happen there and just turned towards the door to get the luggage… when she saw Shiv…. Standing at the door with his hands folded and leaning against the door and looking at her…. She gave coy looks to him… and slowly walked towards the door…. Shiv did not allow Gauri to go out of sight…..
Gauri slowly came towards the door and slowly turned her face and gave a shy look at Shiv and walked past him… overcome by shyness….
Shiv smiled…. And then walked behind her to the living room where the driver had brought in their luggage… and Shiv came there and asked the man to keep the luggage in the bedroom… and then leave….
Shiv gave the man a tip and the man explained that all that requested for food was in the refrigirator and their hotel was nearby and they could call us if they required anything….
Gauri, opened the luggage and kept all the things in the cupboard… and Shiv just relaxed on the couch…. When he realized Gauri is too busy getting the luggage fixed….
After a while Gauri….had her bath… wore a off-white saree…. And wore pearls and her hair was still wet and slightly dripping water…. She put the red vermilon in her mang and red bangles in her hand…..and slowly walked into the living room… knowing Shiv would be there….
As soon as Gauri came from the room opening the door…. Shiv turned his head… from above the sofa where he was sitting… and looked at her…. She was looking so pretty, adorable and huggable…. He just had his mouth wide open looking at her…. His heart raced….. He gotup from the sofa…. And just walked towards… Gauri…. And came near to her and stood in front of her….
Gauri lowered her eyes… and moved to her right…to cross Shiv and go into the kitchen…. But Shiv moved to his left coming in front of her again…. Gauris heart started to race ….. She started feeling cold and hot wibes in her body….. Like she was having a fever….. Little beads of sweat were forming on her forehead…. Shiv smiled at how much his presence was making Gauri uncomfortable… making him think that… not only does Gauri make him weak but he also makes Gauri weak….
Gauri then moved to wards her left and Shiv moved towards his right….. Then Gauri stood still as she knew Shiv was not going to let her go…. When she did not move… Shiv came a little forward reducing the distance between them…. And Gauris heart started skipping beats… her mouth was getting all dry… she slowly took a step back… and Shiv took another step forward… this continued… till Gauri… hit the wall beside the bedroom door….. Shiv came closer to Gauri…. And when Gauri could not go back any further… she closed her eyes tightly…. And Shiv came closer to her…
So close that Gauri could feel Shivs breath on her neck…. Shiv brought his lips close to hers….. And then smiled at how Gauri was trembling with nervousness and smiled and just started wistling a tune and walked into the bedroom…. To have a bath….
Gauri opened her eyes…. And found Shiv walking by….. She was a little stunned and a little annoyed and a little worried…. And a little puzzled…all feelings croping in her heart at the same time…
Part 34:
Shiv took his towel and went to the bathroom…. To take a bath…. And Gauri…. Walked a few steps towards the kitchen but remembered Nikhila telling her yesterday morning…that if shiv came to take his dress…he would make a big mess…. So she quickly turned…. And went to the wardrobe and removed a dress and placed it on the table near the bathroom door….
And she put a note on the cupboard… saying… "Aapka dress apke peche study table pe rakdiya hain…. Dekh lijiye ga………."
And she walked from the bedroom before Shiv came to escape him…. She entered kitchen… to find all the fruits on the counter and she opened the refrigirator to find all the vegetables and prepared curries all ready to be served.
Shiv finished his bath… and walked to the cupboard wearing a towel around his waist…. His eyes were searching for Gauri ….and couldnot find her…. He walked near the cupboard and found the note…. He read the note and looked at the study table next to the bathroom door…. He smiled at Gauri's tact and took his dress and dressed up and came into the living room and then when he did not find Gauri there ….he walked into the kitchen…. And saw Gauri preparing the things for lunch….
He slowly walked into the kitchen and just stood a step away from Gauri…. He was just waiting for her to realise…that he was behind her….. Gauri saw that shiv was behind her from the corner of her eye…and just kept doing her work…. But she was messing up all the things…. As her concentration on the work was disturbed by Shivs presence….. Shiv got a smile on his face… more like giggling…. At how Gauri was getting nervous….
He slowly came closer….and he was now just few centimeters away from her… and he slowly moved his hands beside her hands from behind her and started fixing the things….. And Gauri was feeling …very uncomfortable and Shiv wanted her to become uncomfortable…. But he was not touching her ….and Gauri was going crazy with shiv's presence behind her So near her yet not touching her….. All sorts of romantic and intense things were coming to her mind…. But there was nothing going on…. She just wanted to move from there…. But Shiv was not allowing her to move…..
So, she gathered up the courage to speak to him…. And said…. 'Ji …. Who… mein kar longi…" and Shiv paused…. But did not move away… and said… 'Ji…. Hum apki madath karna chahathe hein.." more in a teasing way…. Because Gauri was calling him "Ji…." and immediately Gauri lifted her eyes and looked at Shiv… and said…. "Ji…" and Shiv just smiled….
And Gauri tried to move and Shiv just moved back giving her space to move in the direction she wants to go… and then went behind her and stood behind her…. And then Gauri took out the plates and turned and Shiv moved back and Gauri came back to fix the lunch on the plates and Shiv walked behind her…. And Gauri could not help from giggling at the way he was following her… and as soon as she smiled Shiv took hold of her from behind and in an instant kissed her on the neck and piched her on her bare waist and wincked at her… And then Shiv made a body gesture and said… "Tum bahut tempt kar rahithi…" and immediately walked away…Leaving Gauri stunned and mouth wide open … not knowing how to react…..
And when she came back to her senses… she shyed and smiled …. Bitting her lip with her teeth…and then slowly walked back and fixed the plates and then they had their lunch as both were very hungry and Shiv was looking at her…but Gauri avoided any eye contact with Shiv.…. And then Shiv was sitting on the sofa and Gauri fixed all the things in the kitchen…. And then Gauri came and sat in the other small sofa… and then slowly lifted her eyes and looked at Shiv…. With adoring expression in her eyes…. And Shiv was watching the TV…. But knew that Gauri was looking at him…. Then he suddenly turned his face to look at Gauri and Gauri lowered her eyes…. Then Shiv just looked back at the TV and then Gauri… felt uncomfortable and figtted with her hands and palu and then when She saw Shiv watching the TV …. She just walked from behind the sofa into their bed room and saw the bed with flowers and felt bored and then went to the window and stood near the window looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and green trees…. And green grass and flowering plants….
Shiv saw Gauri walking slowly into the bedroom and just left the TV remote…. And walked slowly and stood near the bedroom door… to watch her… and then watched her standing near the window…. And thought to himself…. "I just feel like hugging you and kissing you Gauri….. But I am not able to understand…. Whether you feel the same as I feel for you…? Or you need more time to freely interact with me…" he felt his heart race seeing her ….
Shiv cleared his throat to bring Gauri's attention and Gauri turned to look at him… and Shiv said…. "Bahar mausam bahut acha hain Gauri… kya tum walk pe jana chaho gi…" and paused… and Gauri nodded in a yes…. And Shiv said… "tho chelen.."
And both locked the house and started walking in the path…. And again both their hearts started racing….
Gauri was walking beside Shiv …. Since it was more of an evening time…. There were slight cold breeze winds going down into the city from the mountains….
Some of those winds hit Gauri…. And Gauri Shivered and floded her hands and hugged herself… to get some warmth….
Shiv who was walking beside her was also hit by the cold breeze and he too shivered and when he looked at Gauri's folded hands … he realized she was feeling cold …. And instantly rubbed his hands a few times fast… and brought his two arms around the two cheeks of Gauri and tried to warm her face….
As soon as Gauri… got the touch of warm hands on her face…. She sighed in the warmth of his hands…. And lifted her eyes to look at Shiv….. And looked at him coyly…. Seeing such an expression in Gauri's eyes…. Shiv couldnot resist himself any longer…. And slowly moved forward …. To kiss her on her lips …. Gauri's lips were shivering with anxiety and excitement and Shiv's lips were shivering too….
And Shiv and Gauri who were looking into each others eyes…. And their faces were coming closer…. When… Gauri just averted her eyes in shyness…. And smiled profoundly….
Shiv came back to his senses and realized his surroundings…. And removed his hands from her cheeks …. And started combing his hair…. To get control of his feelings…. And then smiled…. And then slowly said… 'chalen…' and then they both started walking beside each other… and each thinking of the other…and both thinking what should each do to get over this anxiety and come closer to each other….. Both were smiling about what just happened…. Gauri thinking that…. Shiv has been trying to come close to me…. And he stops when I start feeling out of place…. He understands me even with out me saying him anything… and I can see that he is so much eager to come close to me…. Which is what I want too….. But How do I express that to him that …..What he wants is what I want too….
She thought for sometime while walking… and Shiv…. Was thinking… How do I go beyond this…. How do I remove this awkwarness…. She is so shy…. And I am so nervous too….. And looked up thinking… God! Please Help me…. And then continued walking….
They reached a near by park area… where there were different colors of tulips…. And bushes with yellow, white, red pink roses…. And benches here and there….. To sit and spend time…..
Shiv said…. 'Thodi der yahan beiten…' and Gauri nodded in affirmation….
And they both sat down watching…. The flowers and the beauty of the Garden…. Each thinking how to start a conversation…
When a couple was going by with a stroller having a baby …. They just came and sat in a bench a few steps away from where Shiv and Gauri were sitting…
Shiv and Gauri smiled at them…. And the couple was sweet to say 'hello..' and Shiv said… 'Hi…' and Gauri smiled…. And then they baby started to make cute noises… and Gauri said… 'How old is the baby..' and the other lady answered her… '6 months..' and Gauri wanted to hold the baby….. And was about to ask the couple when the lady realized that Gauri was curious to look at the baby…… and asked…. 'Would you like to come and see the baby…' and Gauri just started to walk towards them…. Saying 'I would love to…' and the lady smiled….. And Gauri… went and looked at the baby…. It was a Boy ….Shiv just followed Gauri to the couple… The baby boy was looking really cute… and he was tucked in well…. And Gauri just bent forward and slowly started touching the baby…saying…. 'He is very cute….' and then…. The lady asked Shiv and Gauri…. 'Do you have Children…?' and Shiv and Gauri looked at each other and smiled and looked back at them…. While Gauri was feeling shy…. Shiv answered them saying…. 'Not yet….' and to this Gauri turned to look at Shiv anxiously…. Who was trying to avoid and eye contact with Gauri as she would start blushing again…. And Gauri went back to playing with the baby…. Then after few minutes… the couple left…. And Shiv was watching how Gauri was playing with the little boy and How happy Gauri was…. And then there was awkwardness again… between Shiv and Gauri…. Both smiled at each other…. And Shiv said…. 'wapas chalen…' and Gauri nodded….. And smiled and Shiv smiled back at her…. They started walking back…. It was getting colder…. And cold winds were becoming more strong…. Gauri was shivering…. Then within minutes… the weather changed… from cold evening to cloudy…. And thick rain clouds were forming…. And then before Shiv and Gauri could realise it started to rain…. Shiv unconsciously took gauri's hand…. And said her…. 'gauri jaldise Ghar chalte hain…' and started to run holding Gauri's hand who was running along with him…
They reached the front of the house…. And stood there in the shade…. They were almost wet…. And both were huffing with their breaths…. Still holding each others hand….. And not realizing it…. Then Shiv… took out the key…. Opened the door…. And Both went in….. and then Gauri was thinking about getting a towel for her and Shiv when she realized that Shiv was holding her hand…. And Shiv who was shaking his head to get the rain drops out of his hair…. Just turned to look at Gauri who was giving those coy looks again…. And then realized he was holding her hand…. Even more realisation struck him… when he looked at Gauri… who was looking breath taking… with her white saree hugging her due to the rain and her wet hair and her pearl earings… suddenly he felt his body's temperature rasing even in that coldness… He unknowingly started to move towards Gauri… fixing his eyes on her…. And seeing Shiv come closer…. Made Gauri's heart race….. She felt that this was the moment….. And she felt rooted to the spot with anxiety and her pacing heartbeat….
Shiv came closer and closer…. And keeping his vision fixed on gauri…. And slowly… said….Gauri…. 'Gauri… tum bahut kubsurat ho…' and Gauri lowered her eyes….. But Shiv continued to say…. 'Ab yeh besabari… mujse sahanahi jaraha Gauri…' and Gauri lifted her eyes to meet his…. And her heart started pounding in her chest… same was the case with Shiv…. Gauri was about to lower her eyes…. When Shiv pulled her closer…… and did not wait for her reaction and hugged her….
Gauri's body melted in Shiv's touch…. Her bodys temperature started rasing due to anxiety and her heart did not stop pounding…. She could hear it in her ears…. Shiv felt that this was the moment…. And he hugged her tightly to not let her go….. Gauri's body felt soft like touching a baby….. A few moments later Shiv's muscles relaxed and he slowly released Gauri…. Who could not comprehend what was happening… she was out of her senses…. Shiv released her… and slowly lifted her face to look at her….. When Gauri's eyes met shiv's she came back to her senses…. And shyed and was about to go from there…. When… Shiv who has got a positive reaction from her…. Smiled and caught her hand…..and said…. 'Gauri mein ne kahathana…. Agli bar… mein nahi chodunga…?' and Gauri turned back to look at him … Shiv had his eyes fixed on her….Gauri could not take his stare… she felt like he could see in side her… and felt like running and hiding herself…. And so tried to go from there…. But Shiv pulled her back and Gauri came crashing onto Shiv's chest….. Both were looking into each others eyes…. And they were still like a statue…. And staring at each other… when a thunderstruck outside…. And both cameback to their senses…. And Gauri immediately pushed Shiv and ran a few steps from him and stoped in her way….. Slowly turned and looked back at Shiv who was taking in the things happening…. And smiled…. When Shiv just started to run….. Behind her…. And Gauri ran into their bedroom and closed the door behind her…. And her heart was racing and she was trying to bring the anxiety under control…. Shiv came to the door….. And said… 'Gauri ….. ' 'Gauri…' 'Gauri…' and when he got no response he just waited for her to open the door….. Gauri was standing on the other side of the door and smiled…. And just went to the cupboard…. And she had brought her bridal dress for this day….. And she took it out smiled and went into the bathroom to get changed……
