PART 40 A
Its been almost a week since Abhay and Gunni's wedding; therefore, Ram & Gautami arranged for their honeymoon trip. They all sat down together for dinner together.
Ram: Gunni beta, tum logon ne decided kiya ki tum log kahan jaane wale ho honeymoon ke liye?
Gunni: Umm nahi papa, abhi to kuch nahi socha
Gautami: Pata tha mujhe, Abhay tu bhi na...khair isiliye humne tum dono ke liye tickets arrange ki hain
Abhay: Maa hum log bas soch hi rahe the is baare main, anyways kahan ki tickets hain?
Ram: Its 3 week tour including Paris, Italy, & Switzerland; maine sabh arrangements karwa diye hain aur tumhari flight kal raat ko hai 10 baje
Abhay: Oh thats nice, thanks dad!
Gunni: Thank you Papa, thank you mom!
Gautami: You are most welcome beta; abh tum log jao aur packing karo
Abhay and Gunni left to their room to do their packing while Ram & Gautami retired to their room as well. Next morning, Gunni called up Rajvansh house and told them that they are going away for 3 weeks. Its almost 8 PM now and Pratham came over to Kapoor mansion before Gunni left for their honeymoon.
Ram: Are Pratham beta, aao. Welcome
Pratham (taking blessings): Namaste Uncle, I hope I am not late
Ram: Are nahi nahi you are on time; aao baitho Abhay aur Gunni bas aate hi honge
Just then Gautami walked in all dressed up and Pratham got up and took her blessings as well.
Pratham: Namaste Aunty, you are looking gorgeous
Gautami: Thank you beta; aur ghar pe sabh kaise hain?
Pratham: Sabh bilkul theek hain, Aunty
Just as they were talking, Abhay & Gunni walked downstairs with their luggage. Abhay and Pratham exchanged hug and Gunni hugged her brother too.
Pratham: All set?
Abhay: Yep all set
Ram: Bai mujhe aur Gautami ko kisi party main jana padh raha hai isliye maine Pratham ke bulaya ki voh aap logon ko drop kardega airport. Pratham beta thanks a lot for coming
Pratham: Are no worries Uncle; waise bhi main free tha ghar pe aur gharwalon ko bhi tasalli rahegi ki hum main se koi see off karne aaya
Gautami: Acha wahan pahunch karna aur enjoy your trip.
Abhay: Yes mom
Abhay and Gunni too blessings from Ram and Gautami; Gunni exhanged a hug with Gautami. They all walked out and Pratham took luggage fromGunni and placed it in a trunk. After saying bye to everyone, they left for airport. At sharp 8:30 PM, they had checked in their luggage. Pratham called home and Gunni & Abhay talked to everyone before boarding. It was 9 PM now and time to enter the gate to start boarding within half an hour.
Abhay: Allright I think its time, we should go in. Thanks again for coming, Pratham
Pratham: Are bas abh kitni baar thanks bologe, its all cool Jeej! Aur tum (to Gunni): apna khayal rakhna aur have a good time! Enjoy your trip guys!
Gunni: I will and I will call you once I get there.
Pratham hugged them both and waived them bye as they walked inside the gate. Paris welcomed them with open arms and Gunni & Abhay checked in their hotel which was nearby Eiffel Tower. The room had the feel of some sort of palace; everything was larger than life. It was designed with designer drapes, antique furniture, satin bed-sheets and blankets, with dim lighting in the background and candles surrounding the room and filling the room with its fragrance. They both were in awe of their room; a perfect honeymoon suit they thought. It was almost 10 pm at night when they got freshened up. Abhay called up room service and they ordered food which consisted of mainly french dishes; croissants, linquini, etc. After eating dinner, Gunni changed into a black silk night suit and laid down on bed while Abhay went downstairs to the reception to grab a phone charger since he forgot his back home. Abhay came back shortly and laid next to Gunni smiling only to find out that she had fallen asleep. Gunni felt his presence and slowly opened her eyes and snuggled close to him.
Gunni: Sorry, meri aankh lagi gayi baithe baithe
Abhay: Its okay, kafi thak gayi hogi. So jao, goodnight
He placed a kiss on her forehead and they slept snuggled close to each other.
Next morning the clock striked 8 AM as Gunni woke up and her eyes slowly scanned the surrounding environment; seeing herself snuggled next to her hubby in a honeymoon suite, automatically brought a shy smile to her face. She slowly got out of the bed ensuring not to wake up Abhay and headed to the washroom to freshen herself. Hot drops of water managed to vanish her sleep and relax her stiffened body from yesterday's travelling. She enjoyed her time in the shower and then came outside wearing white shirt with black Capri. She swung her curled hair towards one side and dried them gently with a towel swaying droplets all over the place. It was almost 9 as she noticed and walked over to the bed to wake up Abhay. She called out his name as she gently patted his shoulder in an attempt to wake him and as she bent a little closer, wet droplets fell on Abhay's face who was now little awake. Slowly opening his eyes, he found her sitting at such close proximity; her fragrance filled the room with freshness and he was just lost in her eyes. Gunni smiled at him and snapped her fingers to grab his attention.
Gunni: Good Morning.
Abhay: Good morning!
Gunni: Subah ke 9 bajh rahe hain, tum jakar fresh ho jao main breakfast order karti hoon. Abhay: Okay wifey!
It was almost 9:30 when Gunni set the table with breakfast that was delivered by room service; freshly toasted warm cheese sandwiches along with some cereal and fruits and fresh cup of coffee. She waited for Abhay while sipping on a fresh cup of coffee and staring out of the window to enjoy the scenic view of Paris. Abhay came out and stood behind her chair and bent a little to wrap his arms around Gunni and gently kissed on her cheek wishing her a proper good morning. Gunni turned around and responded back with a kiss on his face wishing him a good morning as well. Abhay came around and sat on the chair right across hers.
Abhay: Can't believe how tired I was! Aur bhookh to itni lagi hai ke poocho mat!
He quickly grabbed a cheese toast and gulped some of that orange juice to satisfy his hunger. They had breakfast while discussing their plans for the day. It was almost noon when they left their hotel room for some sight seeing. They spent the day doing shopping and doing sight-seeing including some famous churches, monuments, etc. It was night time now and they headed towards the famous " Eiffel Tower". Paris, the city of love, the name was given to it for very right reasons, the aroma was filled with love; it was an overwhelming experience indeed. They enjoyed a late night dinner outside and later took a stroll at nearby beach. Moon was making its presence vivid through its bright white light; the only voice seemed to surrounf the enviornment was that of the water and its tides. They walked along the side of the beach holding each others hands and had removed their shoes on the side to enjoy the cool sand.
As moon shone in the sky & layers in the ocean danced with the wind; the night was becoming more romantic and surreal to experience. What more could one want for their honeymoon once they had nature blessing them in every possible manner. Gunni stood there admiring the view and the wind played around her hair as well; making Abhay who stood behind her with his arms around her and his chin resting on her right shoulder, crazy as her hair covered his face. They both stood their enjoying the moment in each orhers arms without speaking till Abhay felt a wet drop on his left hand; wasn't the rain he thought.
He removed his arms and turned Gunni to face him only to see that her eyes were sparkling with tears; but those tears spoke something else as opposed to what he had thought to be. Although her eyes were filled with tears, her face indicated happiness, contentment, almost like tears of happiness. She wanted to express her feelings of being happy & being with someone who loves her the most but words fell short and tears did all the talking.
He slowly wiped her tears telling her that he knows what she wants to say and that she should smile which makes his day and something that drives him crazy. Gunni slightly smiled and Abhay brought her closer to himself & they were lost in each others eyes. Their proximity shortly shortened when Abhay placed a kiss on her lips. He looked at her to see that Gunni had a blushing smile on her face; but instead of shying away, she wrapped her arms around his neck and responded well to his initiation by kissing him back. Both stood theire with their eyes closed as their kiss deepend from a light one to a passionate one; both of them not wanting to stop apart from the times they had to breathe in between.
Slowly, they pullled apart realizing they are in the middle of the beach and that it was getting late. Abhay slowly whispered in her ears, "We will continue in our room" making Gunni smile and blush. They walked back to their hotel room with their hands interrwined. Upon reaching their room, they changed and quickly retired to their beds happily cuddled with each other.
From Paris, they travelled to Italy and later Switzerland as a last destination where they enjoyed their time in the alps, enjoying best food like fondus by small roadside cafes, and shopping while sipping on a hot beverage amidst of Switzerland cold. The 3 weeks had flown by; each moment of them being together and their love growing through every minute of that trip. It was their last night of their honeymoon and they had come from sightseeing and late dinner around 11:30 PM. Abhay told Gunni that he forgotten the door access card in the room and if she could grab it from the reception. Gunni nodded & made her way down to the reception meanwhile Abhay quickly snuck in the room to place a surprise for her in the washroom. He got out on time before Gunni came & they went inside. Abhay quickly freshened up first while Gunni waited outside. Soon after, he told her that washroom was all hers to use. While Gunni was freshening up, he quickly decorated the room with candles & roses that he had gotten from hotel service earlier this morning. The room was lit with candles and their fragrance filled the air; rose petals decorated the bed and surroundings.
Gunni on the other hand had finish taking shower and as she was about to change into her night dress, she found a parcel sitting in the washroom counter with a note from Abhay saying that he would love to see her in this dress and make their last night memorable & special. She smiled and also wondered what it could be; and also surprised at Abhay's plans. As she opened up that package, she saw a equisite red sari with matching silver jewellery. She wore Sari and adorned herself smiling with that given jewellery; blushing as she was getting ready for her husband- her sindoor, mangalsutra, choora reminded her of being belonging to someone and she was very happy with that. It was 11:59 when she opened the door and walked outside dressed in that sleeveless blouse sari, her wet hair parted toward one side exposing her bare back; her jewellery & sensational perfume just added a cherry on top of everything; making Abhay just lost in her. She on the other hand, was surprised to see the room and the decorations. Not knowing what is going on, she slowly walked near Abhay with a questioning look. As clock struck 12 AM, he bent down on his knees holding out a rose in his hand saying" Happy Birthday Mrs Kapoor"!
She stood there shocked, unable to react, & surprised at the fact that she had forgotten he own birthday and how sweet was of Abhay to not only remember her special day but going beyond by doing all this for her. She quickly realized that she had not yet grabbed the rose from Abhay who was still bent on his knees. She smilingly, with teary eyes, took the rose from him who then got up and kissed her forehead and engulfed her in a hug to wish her happy birthday. After few minutes, they broke the hug and Gunni placed a kiss on his cheek.
Gunni: Thank you for all this, Abhay. I can't believe ki main apna birthday bhool gayi par tumhe yaad tha aur naahi yaad tha balki tumne use itna special bhi banaya. Truly, it means a lot, I loved it!
Abhay: Well I am glad that you liked it aur waise bhi shaadi ke baad meri beewi ka pehla birthday aur main bhool jaoon aise kaise ho sakta hai.
He later walked her over near the window where the cake was placed on the table; he indicated her to cut the cake. She grabbed the knife and his hand to cut the cake together. She fed him first and later Abhay fed her a piece. He slowly turned on the music in his iphone on the volume that was enough to echo in the room; the song was "Dekho Na" from Fanaa. He slowly walked upto her signalling that Gunni had cake on her lips. As Gunni was about to wipe off the cream, he holds her hands and does the honour himself by placing a kiss on her lips; making Gunni weak in her knees. She turned around breathing heavily and her heart beat could be heard out loud; Abhay wrapped his arms around her and placed a kiss on her neck as he placed his chin on her shoulder. He was just lost in her beauty; her wet hair and her fragrance was enough to melt anyone down. He slowly whispered in her ears "I want to make tonight special and memorable for us" as he placed another kiss on her bare back moving her hair to one side. Gunni was just lost in other world as she felt his touch; his fingers slowly carassing her bare back and finally she felt a slight pull from Abhay untying her dori. She turned around and engulfed him in a hug to hide herself in his arms. He lifted her to the bed and laid her down; placing a kiss on her forehead, cheeks; tracing them down and finally then he placed another on her belly sending sensation in her body. He slowly removed her jewellery and blew off the candles to have the night to themselves. The night was dedicated to Gunni and her birthday; Abhay had showered her with love making her special day even more special.
