Chapter 1
15 Days after AbhiMaan Wedding
Abhira was struggling while working with the saree.As it is the saree was very heavy and she had her own troubles in matter of wearing sarees....She knew that Vidya Ma was very busy since morning and Manisha chachi sa had the responsibility of getting The Chorus Gang ready,that left Kajal bua who must also be busy in some work or other after all it was her and Armaan's reception and Dadisa had been constantly talking about it ever since the wedding and how she wanted it to be perfect.She didnt want things to be ruined because of her.She tried calling her mother but it went unanswered and she knew that Muskaan bua had been busy at work....Eventually she got frustrated and was on verge of tears when there came a knock on the door...Abhira wiped her tears quickly and softly answered asked the person to come in and continued to work on the saree...
Armaan locked the door of their room and saw that Abhira was struggling with the saree and could sense her frustration.Armaan slowly went to her and turned her towards him...She was looking breath taking in the golden colored saree cum lehenga...She had draped the saree on her shoulder however the pleats were still in her hand...
Armaan (chuckling softly)-Can I help ?
Abhira (stunned)-Tumhe saree pehnana aata hai ?
Armaan (smiling)-I will take it as a yes.
Armaan opened the you tube tutorial and along with started to fold the pleats in his hand.Abhira was actually amazed to see Armaan working with the saree even though with a tutorial he was way better than she was at any point of time..Armaan slowly put the bundle of pleats inside the saree.Both of them felt a current passing through as his hands brushed on her bare waist....Abhira blushed seeing them in that position...In these 3 months upto the wedding they had came a lot closer than she expected yet there was something that was stopping her from opening up completely infront of Armaan....Armaan kissed her on the forehead.
Armaan (kissing her on the forehead)-You look gorgeous in this saree Abhira.....Aisa toh meri nazar kahi hate gi hi nahi....
Abhira (blushing)-Thank you so much...
Armaan (making her look at him)-Waise toh maine suna hai Delhi court se ki Abhira Sharma toh ek sherni hai,phir mere saamne itna shyness kyu ?
Before Abhira could reply,her phone rang and saw that it was Akshara.Abhira excused herself to take the call.Armaan smiled seeing her happy.They both knew that they were deeply attracted towards each other but each was waiting for the other to make the move.He was waiting to see if Abhira does open to him.He was an extremely patient man and he would wait for her to open up to him.He understood that she was still settling in this family.She had mentioned that she lived with Akshara in Delhi and most of the time it was just both of them so he could understand the adjustment living with a huge joint family.
When he came out of the thoughts he noticed Abhira getting ready.He loved that she wore the mangalsutra of his name,the sindoor and the dark mehendi in her hands that was still yet to diminish.She wore a simple diamond necklace along with mangalsutra and diamond drop earings.Just seeing her like that, something slipped from his mouth...
Armaan (whispering)-Gorgeous
Abhira blushed hearing him say that.But suddenly somebody knocked at the door.Armaan opened the door and spotted Vidya at the door.Vidya smiled widely seeing Abhira ready.She took balyaa of her.Vidya had been ecstatic when Abhira had said yes.Akshara had been her very old friend and she knew very well that Abhira would be perfect for Armaan and vice versa....
Vidya (smiling knowingly)-Mai toh tumhe hi taiyaar karne aa rahi thi beta.I know ki tumhe saree pehna nahi aati hai....How did you manage..?
Abhira (hesitatingly)-Ma woh you tube tutorials dekh kar pehen li maine....Mujhe aap busy hogi aapko kyu takleef du...
Vidya (nodding)-Abhira tum meri beti hi ho.Takleef kaisi huh...Jaise Charu ya Kiara ki madad karti waise tumhari...
Vidya soon exited after instructing Armaan to get ready soon.And gave him his suit.Just as Vidya exited Armaan pulled Abhira's leg a little....
Armaan (chuckling)-You tube tutorial Abhira ?
Abhira (laughing)-Would you have it that I told her that tumne meri madad ki thi ? Now please go and get ready.
Armaan quickly went inside to get ready.Abhira chuckled to herself thinking about the saree thing.She sat down on the bed.She knew that she was attracted to him.They had came close to kissing each other thrice since the wedding but somebody had always interrupted them.She knew that right now she was not ready for anything further and Armaan had assured that nothing would happen unless she was comfortable.Unknown to her tonight would be the night when she would finally open up to her husband.
Soon The Chorus Gang had arrived to take them downstairs.Abhira held his arms as they walked downstairs both smiling to each other.Kaveri was exceptionally happy seeing Abhira and Armaan.They both were the power couple.She was confident Abhira would be the perfect partner for Armaan to help him in the firm as well as the house as the eldest daughter-in-law.Akshara smiled seeing daughter happy and smiling.But she,Kairav and Muskaan feared her reaction when she would see Manish Goenka and his family.Vidya and Kaveri had apologized beforehand but Akshara and Kairav had assured them that it nothing to apologize about.Vidya had told Akshara that they were considering Ruhi for Rohit which had made Akshara very happy however Vidya told her that it was because of Rohit's zidd that they had to even talk about Goenkas.Otherwise she would never even think about having Ruhi as her daughter-in-law.
Vidya and Akshara smiled eye to eye when they saw Abhira and Armaan dancing.Kaveri soon introduced Abhira to the investors of the board.Armaan was proud of his wife.She carried herself with great confidence and when she talked about law there was this spark in her eyes that was hard to miss.However when Abhira was talking with Charu she noticed Goenkas.Armaan noticed her anger towards Goenkas.he knew that they were Akshara mam's family.Manish had been emotional when he had seen Abhira all grown up,even Aarohi had been emotional remembering how she had diagnosed Akshara's pregnancy....Ruhi was jealous seeing how Abhira got all the attention whereas Kaveri didnt even like her.
After the reception Abhira who was already tired decided to take a long bath.After the shower Abhira came outside in her bathrobe unaware that Armaan was in the room.Armaan forgot how to breathe seeing Abhira in the bathrobe in her wet hair.Abhira blushed but felt confident and safe infront of Armaan.Armaan cupped her face kissing her on the forehead.
Armaan (huskily)-Saas rookva doogi meri Ira....
Abhira (shying)-I like it when you call me by that name.....
Armaan (cupping her face)-Are you sure you are comfortable if I take a step ?
Abhira (consenting)-Yes....
Armaan brought her closer by her waist while Abhira put her hands around his neck.He kissed her slowly.Initially slow however he picked the pace up,he bit her lip a bit making her moan.Abhira clutched Armaan hair....Abhira put her hand on Armaan's chest and he broke the kiss to take a breath.Putting their foreheads against each other both took a breath.....Blushing Abhira hugged Armaan tightly....
Around midnight Armana who had woken up to drink water noticed that Abhira was missing.When he went downstairs he noticed her on the phone talking to Akshara ma.She sounded angry and abruplty put the phone down.Armaan put a hand on her shoulder and she turned around realizing that she had woken Armaan up.
Abhira (apologetically)-I am sorry Armaan,meri wajah se tumhari neend udd gayi.....
Armaan (softly)-Its alright Abhira.Whats the matter ? Sab theek hai na ?
Abhira (hesitatingly)-Ha woh...
Armaan (telling her)-Abhira no pressure,agar tum share nahi karna chahti toh its fine....
Abhira (nodding)-Aisi koi baat nahi hai Armaan.Lambi baat hai are you sure you have the time.....?
Armaan (smiling)-For you always.
Abhira and Armaan sat down on the stairs in the patio.Abhira began narrating how the Goenkas always treated her mother in inferior manner and how for Aarohi's accident Akshara was blamed despite the fact that the culprit was Ruhi.How Akshara struggled with her pregnancy because of these blames and now out of blue they wanted to rejoin those broken relations.......
Armaan (nodding)-Abhira calm down.....itna gussa woh bhi unn logo ke liye jo matter nahi karte.(hesitatingly)-Do they know that mam didnt hit her sister ?
Abhira (taking a huge breath)-Yes after Aarohiji woke up.She struggled a lot after I was born.Do you know that I was a court baby.....
Armaan (curious)-Court baby ?
Abhira (smiling)-I was born and brought up in courts.While Ma used to argue I used to sit in my pram in the courts.All the day judges,court master used to play with me....Soon as I grew up I started to understand things in the court...Thats when I realized that I want to be a lawyer......
Armaan (smiling widely)-So can I say that you know things better than anyone....I am honored that you felt that you could share all this with me.......
