Life takes us to many unexpected places, Love brings us Home!

Akira's pov

The Rathore Jet landed and Vikram and I bid farewell to The Rajvanshis and my parents. Smriti stayed since they had a reception at the Rathore Mansion and then from their, her official Vidaai will happen.

Kartik quickly gave a kiss on her forehead and said - See you tonight Princess!
Smriti hugged him and gave him a quick peck to which Vikram just rolled his eyes and vidit and kiyara giggled.

And That reminded me of my daring Husband. He fricking kissed me...not once...but twice!
But what is bothering me that...why did I let him dominate me that way!
Why do I always let him overpower me?
I was stunned when he pecked me first...but then why did I not protest when he kissed me for the second time?

That's because may be you have started to accept him around you!
Oh! You please shut up!

Anyways, let's just reach home and settle the immediate requirements and then I will talk to him.

He has to follow certain rules around me!
I can not let him touch me like that.

Well you must be wondering where am I and to whom am I talking. First, Well I am self talking and secondly, I am sitting in a fricking Limo with my husband on driving seat and Smriti at the back seat with the kids.
And I am sure Mr. driver cum Husband is stealing glances at me.!

This man really needs some manners!

My chain of thoughts halted when the car reached the humongous doors of the Rathore mansion....our new Home!

The Entire mansion was decorated and all the staff member were present to welcome us!

An elderly staff asked me to kick the holy kalash and then enter as this is my first time entering the mansion after marriage.

I did as I was told. And Vikram followed with kids and Smriti.
And surprisingly, There were our marriage pictures mounted on the wall and the entire floor felt like Home!

Soon, we ate our lunch and i asked Smriti to take rest as in the evening she has to get ready for Reception.

Vikram led me to OUR room along with Kiyara and Vidit. We settled kids in their attached room and I wanted to set my luggage.
So, I asked Vikram - Um...Mr. Rathore, where should I keep my clothes?

Wherever you want Mrs. Rathore! The entire mansion is yours, besides the left door has a walk in closet. And stop calling me Mr. Rathore....i have a name! That is Vikram, I hope you remember that! - he replied smirking

Look! I am very tired to argue with you right now! Let's just happily work out Smriti's reception and then we will have a proper conversation about all this! Even you have to remember many things. - I spoke in a bored way

He was about to say something when his phone rang. It was a video call from Tayi maa sa. He gave me his mobile and went to get freshen up.
I received the call and She asked me to get Mehndi done on my hands since it was not done earlier. And there was another bomb, Vikram and I will be introduced as an official couple later in the evening to the guests. I wanted to deny but her hopeful eyes had me wrapped, so I couldn't say no....

And That's when I felt a presence right behind me...hot breaths fanned my ears and a strong citrus and something like a cinnamon scent hit my nostrils making my breath hitched. It seems He has a great choice in fragrances!

Vikram had bend to my level and his face was just a few inches away from mine. I forgot to speak but then I heard him say - Tayi maa, is it really required? I mean, it's Smriti's reception....i don't want to deviate the subjects and besides, kids might not be comfortable for such attention. I will introduce Akira and Vidit later.

She said - Vikram, all the important people from all over the places we know, would be there....under one roof...its better this way! Let me introduce you guys and then I promise, I will not ask for any other introduction.

All this while, I was feeling tingly all over my face and neck. And that stupid man did not move an inch. Shameless!

God knows, kisse shaadi ho gayi meri!

Tayi maa told us, she will be reaching us before the Reception starts and hung up.

I wanted to give him his mobile back but this stupid man did not budge away in fact he said - Don't I smell good wife?

And my lips parted like a fish and he chuckled.

Well, if you are done inhaling my scent then release the breath, and for God's sake take a shower... You need it! - he smirked

You...! Arrgh! Leave it...its better if I don't talk to you only! - I was frustrated

By the way, Do get my name written in your Mehndi! - he winked and I threw a pillow at him

Gosh! He is too much to handle!

I quickly took a shower and wore a floral skirt and a silk shirt.

I got down and saw Smriti talking to mehndi artist already.

Ah, Bhabi! You are here! Come we have to get your mehndi done! - she said

She chose a design and asked the artist to apply mehndi. The artist asked - Ma'am what is your husband's name.?

Hesitantly I spoke - V-Vikram!

And my heart skipped a beat when I found Vikram coming towards me. He sat in front of me giving me those intense gaze and asked the artist to stop.

He asked the artist - would you mind, if I write it myself, miss?

She blushed and gave him a mehndi cone. He held my right hand and I closed my eyes feeling the coldness of mehndi.

Why his proximity bothering me?
I shouldn't feel this way!

Wow Bhai! You are the Best! - I heard Smriti screaming
I opened my eye and saw what he wrote and I swear something twisted in my stomach.
Because instead of his name, he had written " Kiyara+Vidit "

Tears filled into my eyes and my heart melted with this thoughtful gesture.
I looked at him and he gave me a genuine smile.

Why this man keep giving me surprises?
And must i say : Happy Surprises

He wishpered just for me to hear - I know, you love our kids more....and I couldn't take away from that.! But, please Akira, try to give me a place in your heart too...even the tiniest bit would be enough for me! And he left from there.!

I shivered under his words....his vulnerability.... His longing eyes....almost touched my heart but how can I promise him something untouchable.

I have to talk to him before he gets another heartbreak! I can't offer him what he seeks.!

My mehndi was complete and I excused myself and rushed to our room.
I found him standing by the balcony fences, grazing in sky.

He spoke - I am sorry! I... I couldn't control myself down there!

How...d...did..y..you....i was stunned...i couldn't speak!

That's because something has changed Akira! I have started to feel for you...Again...! My stupid heart even after being murdered and shattered, began to stir again! I tried Akira....i tried...to control it....but....i am tired Akira...i am tired of fighting my feelings for you! - he spoke painfully and his eyes looked genuine!

For some reasons, I felt his felt in my own heart. Why was life so cruel to the both of us?

I put my hand on his shoulder and spoke - Whatever Happened in our past was not good Vikram! I know! But, we have to move on! I can't promise you if I will ever feel for you the way you do feel for me but I promise I won't judge you! Life has given us a fair second chance...and beautiful reasons to relive!
It has given us Our kids! We have to live happily for them...for their happiness!

Let's just forget our past and forget about the past baggages we dragged upon ourselves....give a kick start to our new found reasons to live! And let's make best out of our this new, Home! What say? - I forwarded my hand for a friendly shake which he happily took and said -

Home Sweet Home!

Now! Go fast mister! You have to get ready for evening and you are going to welcome the Rajvanshis too. - I spoke trying to be stern but he chuckled

And thank God, he did!
He looks so handsome when he laughs!
Woah here Horsey! Get a Grip!

Move your ass, you have a Reception to attend! Phew!!

I wore a light pink ombre saree with white lace and thread work princess blouse.
A pair of diamond earrings with pearls and wore the Rathore bangles, I am so much in love with them...they are so decilate yet so artistic! I don't even know if I deserve them....but now they are adorning my wrist.
I spread my channel english Rose perfume on my neckline.
I wore a matte red lipstick and mascara...and a crystal hindi completed my look.

I was adjusting my mangalsutra, that's when Mr. Rathore...um... Vikram arrived clad in a forest green tuxedo. He wore the Rathore Brooch and a golden Rado adorned his wrist. This man was really updated in fashion. He stood right behind me and we both saw our reflection. He was giving me those deep intense look and our proximity didn't help.

I lowered my eyes and muttered - I...I should probably go look for Smriti!

I moved but he held my hand and spoke - Don't you think, you forgot something Mrs. Rathore?
I frowned and looked myself in the mirror again... But could not pin point what he meant....so I raised my eyebrow...and he lowered in front of me making me stunned and stumble but then he pick up a pinch of Vermillion and applied to my partition and I closed my eyes.

I heard him say - Now, you look complete! And absolutely Mine!

The last part he literally wishpered but I heard him...or may be he wanted me to!

I unknowingly blushed at his possessiveness!

Shall we Mrs. Rathore? - he asked like a gentleman

And I replied smiling - Of course Mr. Rathore!

And we both left to reach the Reception party....to be announced as Mr. & Mrs. Rathore!
