...Kabir..
I woke up with the disturbing sunlight. I picked my phone and found that it was still early morning. I looked around only to find my beautiful wife snuggling closer hugging me tighter. I knew Preet was having tiring days thus her sleep was a necessity, so I carefully picked her up and moved back in our house. I knew if I took the flight to the stairs she would wake up so I decided to settle down in one of the guest rooms. I placed her on the bed and settled myself next to her caressing her hair.
God how I missed her.
I pulled her closer to me kissing her hair.
I smiled thinking how this gorgeous girl in my hand turned my life, she changed the concept of home from being a place to being a person. She bought light to my darkened life. I wouldn't be lying if I say I have been loving her since the very first time I saw her.
I had no idea what this meant then because you cannot expect much from a 3 year old boy. Right from the beginning she has been the smile of my life. I practically ruined her teenage years playing pranks thinking she would consider me cool and would start liking me. She never liked me back then and I tried to prove that the feelings were mutual but who was I kidding. As we grew up my feelings grew deeper. I was well aware to the fact that Preet never even liked me. We both knew we would get married one day but given the opportunity Preet would have exchanged all her luxuries to run away from me. After a time I began to train my mind in such a way which only said it was only an infatuation and that Kabir and Preet were never possible. I wouldn't ever force her in this marriage.
No matter what?
I tried distracting myself with other girls, I wouldn't lie I even had one night stands while I was in my university and in the starting years of my career. But the day when Preet was about to go away to London, I knew no matter what I try to think or no matter how much I refused I have always been loving her. The day she left she took a part of me with her. She took my heart. Right after that day gone was the millionaire heartbreaker, since his own heart was now with his childhood sweetheart. Preet earlier was never the hot diva she is now infact she was more on the healthier side, but her eyes shined innocently yet then, her smile had the power to lighten up the storm yet then. She was perfect yet then.
Engrossed in her thoughts I hid myself in her hair and I have no idea when I slipped back into sleep.

...Preet...

The moment I opened my eyes I was pecked on my lips.
I smiled sensing his touch.

"Kabir, it's too early and I am still adjusting to the world." I replied snuggling deeper in his chest. I felt his chest reverberating with laughter which bought a small smile on my lips.

"I'll get coffee." He whispered in my ears.

"Hmm." Was my plain reply.
He moved out of our duvet and walked to the door when I called him.

"Kabir." I sat up rubbing my eyes, pouting.

"Hmm?" He asked.

I opened my arms with my eyes still closed, within seconds he was next to me hugging me, cuddling me.
He pecked my forehead and I opened my eyes looking up at him.

He got up and went to get us coffee when suddenly my phone rang and it was Kavya. I groaned. Right now I wasn't in a mood to deal with her so I just ignored the call switching my cell phone off.
I sat with my back resting on the bed rest with the duvet over my feet.
Within minutes Kabir was back. Handling me the mug he settled himself behind me such that I sat in between his legs with his chest as my back rest.

Later dressing up, we left for the house on fire aka The Malhotra Mansion.
On reaching there I got back to work while the boys were what you can say chilling around in the lawn.
Lavanya picked up a empty cane basket and chucked them at the boys.

Soon it was afternoon all the young clan were outside in the lawn as Tara and I started serving. We all sat enjoying our meal when Karan piped.

"I heard about you little encounter." He said pointing towards Kabir.

"With whom, your girlfriend?" Kabir countered back. That's my man, sarcasm is on the tip of his tongue waiting to roll out.
All of us cracked a bit looking at Karan.
"So how's she?" Karan asked faking enthusiasm which made us laugh even more.

"Hot." Kabir replied without thinking.
And all the chaos and bickering stopped as I looked at Kabir with an annoyed expression.

Did my husband just call his best friends ex hot?

"Shit!" He swore.
I knew he said this just to agitate Karan but I totally ignored the sensible part of my brain.

Karan gave a smirk while Rishab, Abhi and Zayn wanted to laugh.
And my brother oh let's not talk about him. He was already in fits of laughter looking at Kabir.

"I did not mean it." Kabir tried explaining looking extremely guilty.

"Sure you didn't." I replied keeping my plate aside suddenly not finding my appetite and walked away.

Around 15 minutes later I was helping Anushree when Kavya came up to me and hugged me suddenly.
Did she think I was about to cry just because my husband called another lady hot when he didn't even mean it.

"Kavya I am fine." I told her breaking the hug.

"You are angry." She commented back.

"No I am not."

"Yes you are."

"I am not angry I am annoyed." I explained.

"Same thing." She pointed out.

"It's not." I replied instructing the decorators simultaneously.

"What do you want anyways?" I asked her.

"Me?, well I am trying to calm you down since you are like a huge ball of fire about to destroy my brother."

Did my best friend just called me a huge ball of fire!

"No, let's phrase it like this, if your brother was on fire and I had a glass of water."
After a bit of pause I completed.
"I'd drink it."

She looked at me horrified which only made me laugh.

"Preet." I heard another voice I looked at him and just passed him an annoyed expression before moving out of the constricted area, I knew if I stay around him more he would find his way out and this time I seriously wanted to be stubborn.

Urgh. My head is a messed up shit.

Avoiding my further conversations with my stupid brain I walked away. I was working with the catering team when I was suddenly picked up like a sack and thrown over a masculine shoulder.

I practically threw punches on his back which only made him laugh.
Within minutes we were in a locked room he placed me on bed kneeling in front of me.
Even before I could say something he warned me,
"For every word you speak in between I will kiss you."

Like I would mind that!....

Ignoring him I spoke.

"I need to.." I wasn't allowed to to complete my sentence since Kabir as warned pecked me thrice even before I could understand what was happening.
I looked flustered definitely to which he just gave a smirk.

That sly dog.

Trying my luck once again I intervened.
"Kabir you..."

And there came two more pecks.
He definitely knew how to shut me up.

I just narrowed my eyes and zipped my lips motioning him to get over with it.

"I love you." He confessed.

"Well, that makes one of us." I replied welcoming 6 pecks straight.

I don't know why but I was loving this punishment of mine.

"If I could give you one thing in life I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes only then you would realize how special you are. Just to say I love you never seems enough. I have said it so many times, I am afraid you won't understand what I really mean when I say that.
How can so much feeling, so much adoration possibly fit in those three little words, but until I find some other way of saying what I feel, then I LOVE YOU would have to do. So no matter how many times I say it, never take it lightly, for you are my life and my only love. I love you now more than ever before." He continued his rant without a stop.
I wanted to smile but I resisted.
I slid down on my knees somehow fitting myself between him and the bed.
I cupped his face, making him look at me and replied,

"In all the world there is no heart for you like mine.
In all the world there is no love for me like yours, so it's only your I Love you's that I live for."
He moved incredibly close, our lips centimetres apart, I so knew what he was about to do so I did exactly the opposite. As his face neared to mine I placed my fingers on his lips stopping him.
He groaned and this time I smirked.

"And I am still angry." I said before getting out of his grip and unlocking the door.

"When will you forgive me?"

"The day it rains candies." I replied laughing but what surprised me was his victory smile.

Wait! No matter what this rich brat cannot make that possible now can he?

The rest of the day was Kabir-free, since I was at the wedding venue, thankfully because I am doubtful after the little stunt he pulled out in the room I could be angry anymore but what surprised me was that I received no calls the whole day.
Finally after completing everything I drove back to the Malhotra mansion.

As soon as I opened the door, Kashish came skipping to me as if she was practically waiting for me to show up.

"Bhabhi...." she squealed.
I just gave her a look and asked.

"Are you sugar high?" I asked her and she looked confused.

"How many packets of sugar candies did you have?" I asked breaking in a smile.

"Hardy har har.." she commented before dragging me to the lawn where everyone was waiting for me I looked at them in confusion while each of them gave me a evil smile.
I looked back at my husband behind me who was busy tuning his guitar,
That son of a urgh, my mother in law.
He very well knew his voice is the only thing I can't resist.

He smirked and then begun.

asmani rang ho,
pyaar ki boond ho,

(He took slow steps towards me, while leaving me alone in the center Kashish ran away. That traitor.)

roshni ho,
dhoop ho,
chahaton ki goonj ho

(He stood directly opposite to me looking in my eyes making me weak in my knees, I distracted myself from the gorgeous blue orbs that could even melt stones and tried walking away.)

aanchal mein hain dhanak chandni,
haaton mein woh chaand hai,

(Key word tried as the very next moment he caught hold of my dupatta pulling me back to him. He slowly turned me around, keeping his guitar down. He interlaced our fingers)

gairon se bhi hai wasta
apno mein pehchan hai,

(He caressed my cheeks with his other hand while the rest of the family members circling us with bowls in their hands.)

ta ra ra rat ta ri ra[3],
tu zindagi
mera izhaar hai..
pyaar hi pyar hai,
yaaron ki yaar hai,
tu zindagi ......

(He knelt down in front of me holding his ears and as on cue everyone emptied the contents of the bowl in an upward direction.)

ta ra ra rat ta ri ra[3],
tu zindagi
tujhse main kya kahoon
tu hi mera sukoon,
sang tere rahoon,
tu zindagi!!!!!

(

The contents of the bowl fell over us creating a rainy effect. My eyes widened in shock and surprise as Kabir held me from my waist sweeping me off the ground and twirling around)

And that day unbelievably it rained CANDIES...
