Gadodia Mansion.Night 11.00

Lying back on pillow Swara lovingly stared at Ring ..their Engagement Ring ..a simple gold ring with S on it and next to it tinkling was the star shaped ring adorning her finger, reminder of one of most beautiful nights of her life ..nope ..their life at Mandarmani. They came back next day and Swara couldn't stop gushing about it to ragini ..though she deliberately left out few details of their kiss followed by ardent passionate lovemaking in tent..a beautiful one near bonfire which literally took her breath away when she first caught sight of it.

"Sanskaar Ye."...She turned to him in awe not finding words to express the feelings surging to her and he simply shrugged his shoulders " Mujhe laga tumhe Acha lagega..I mean I was not sure but ..." not even realizing what this means to her. A secret fantasy which she harbored when she read all those mills and boons novels ..but brushed it off as just something which would just exist in books where your prince charming would walk in , sweep you off your feet ...and Here she is living her own fairy tale love story.

"Kya hua?" He asked wondering ..and Not saying a word she gently moved into his arms feeling his warmth embrace her,same warmth cuddling her when they gazed at stars for long, and warmth slowly blazing into heat as he made love to her soft and tender under star studded sky,melting her insides, making her tremble with desire, pleasure and with all love he felt for her..and that night she could just think of one word - Magical.

Swara felt warmth rushing to her cheeks as she recalled that night .Their Engagement had been a close knit affair with only families present in ceremony ..but she knew marriage is going to be extravagant affair for sure ,with Gadodias and Maheshwari's in picture. She never thought all rituals related to marriage would be of so much fun.They never held her interest much. Days passed and she didn't even realise how... Shaadi ki shopping, Roka, engagement , Sangeet ..and today was her Mehendi.

Mehendi..she looked at her palms , gently tracing her fingers over intricate design filled in her palms ,deep red in colour .She recalled dadi's words of More darker the color of the henna is, the more deeper her husband's love for her would be. She smiled as her hands found "S". Would her buddu be even aware that he need to trace out his name from mehendi design on their wedding day which is just a day away .. Well Mr. Sanskaar Maheshwari, her dear would be hubby is going to have a tough time.

Fondly she pressed her lips ,to his name.."I love u Sanskaar" she gently whispered to herself and reached out to a teddy bear on her bed..one more loving gesture of her loving hubby ..oops she bit her tongue .. would be hubby.Well ,Wedding is just an ritual ..they are already bound in every way. Teddy ,He surprised her as a gift on one of their dates "Maine suna ki Ladkiyon ko teddy bear bahut pasand hain ..you know tho ..." and as she cuddled on to teddy she still remembered that jealous look on his face "Ok Fine fine you can hug this thing ..jab tak main nahi aa jata but jyada nahi ok.." he warned her strictly ..and from that day she just loved teasing him.

"Mera Good night Kiss kaha hain" he would ask her during their late night talks .. "woh tho maine de diya ."she would tease him kissing teddy "Mere pyaare Sunny ko..."

"Acha Ab teddy sunny bangaya ...Theek hai ... main count le raha hoon ..aur dekhna tum, jab shaadi ho jayegi na .. poora interest ke saath wapas lunga..It's a promise." and she very well knew how good he is at keeping up his promises.

All those cute little things he would do for her ..With every passing day she couldn't help but fall in love with him.. more ..little more and some more.She pulled teddy closer cuddling ..

Only if he was here ..She wished.

Startled by sudden sound ..she turned back and he was there i smiling at her .Had she gone crazy ..must be God !Now she started dreaming and imagining him everywhere...It's all illusion she told herself ..does he have to look so dreamy and tempting in that navy blue sweatshirt and rugged jeans even in imagination ..Rightly she named him "hotness ki dukaan"

Smiling she turned back to bed

"Oye Madam" ..his words jerked her back ..and her eyes widened in shock ..surprise ,a mix of both.She rushed out to balcony where he stood .Glancing at him "..tum ..Sach ho " she asked still not believing her eyes. Sanskaar shook his head hopelessly spread out his arms " Well you can check yourself .." . Doubtful she inched closer and wrapped her arms around him.. And he is real.

"Sanskaar ..she almost squealed with delight hugging him tighter almost jumping in his hands, Smiling at her excitement he hugged her back and next minute she jerked out of hug as she wondered ' "Tum yaha kaise .I mean..kisni ne dekha tho nahi aur"...he halted her words with finger on her lips "shhh dheere re marvavoge kya ? agar tumari dadi uth gayi na maare khatu shyam ji bolke dhakke maar ke bahar nikal degi"

"Kisi ne dekha nahi" he assured her "Aur woh Pipe se chadke aaya tha"

"Kya? Swara looked aghast .."Pipe se?" ..she shook her head in disbelief as he shrugged nonchalantly ."Kya Sanskaar tum bhi.. agar kuch hota tha toh ..kahi kuch laga tho nahi"she asked all concerned. Sanskaar just stood watching her going all concerned .God !she doesn't have an idea how much he loves her.This was love and care he always dreamt of ..someone who would be worried for him , scold him when he did something wrong, correct him, fight with him, pamper him and above all love him so much..so much that..When he shook his head saying no she hit him playfully "Paagal " she muttered and startled next second as he pulled her against him.

"Paagal tho hoon"he slowly gently brushed his fingers over her cheeks " Tumhare pyaar mein" ,she blushed and lowered her face.' Hey Shona" he softly whispered , tipped her chin up and saw colour of her cheeks turning more deeper .Swara gently slowly lifted her lashes to meet his.

Gazing into his eyes ...her heart fluttered as she watched them darken with passion.Locked in his strong arms ..feeling the warmth of his soft fabric against her t shirt, she felt heat rushing through her." Bahut Miss kar raha tha ..iss liye" he said with almost a boyish charm flattering her further "Main bhi' she replied still lost in his gaze and felt his lips pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

"Aaj mehendi tha na" .. she heard him murmur "Haan" she replied back "dikhawoge nahi".Smiling she pulled back from hug,lifted her palms for his perusal. Holding them he gazed in awe .. Wow .. so pretty .. Btw mujhe iss mein mera naam dhoondhna hoga na " he quizzed.Surprised she pulled back her hands " Tumhe pata tha " she didn't expect him to know.

"Of course pata hain ..Madam main bhi films dkehta hoon aur ye tho bahot simple hain "he winked at her playfully. "Acha ji" Amused she offered her hands "dhoondo lo ..nahi ho payega"

Sanskaar raised his eyebrows " Is that a Dare Swara Bose?"

"Ji haan Mr. Maheswari " she replied back confidently

Jeet Gaya tho ? he asked

"Jeet gaya tho hmm ... I will kiss you .. haar gaya tho you kiss me" he saw her eyes sparkling with glint "Itna acha deal hain tho ..I am all in" he replied with equal mischief.Smiling she held his hands and led him to her room settling them both on her bed. "Hi Sunny" Sanskaar tipped the nose of teddy lying on bed in greeting leaning onto bed post .. and his arms twined around Swara as he leaned onto him gently lifting up her palms.

Sanskaar's watched them intently ..his finger tracing along lines of design.." Pata hai Sanskaar Dadi bol rahi thi ki mehndi ka rang kitna gehra chadta hai...uski pati usse utna pyaar karte hain aur sabse gehra mera hi tha .. she told him proudly.

"Acha ab mehendi decide karegi mere pyaar ko" .. he teased her playfully as he searched along lines, "Chod do nahi ho payega" Swara said gently after few minutes passed.

"Lagata hain madam ko "she trembled as his lips whispered gently brushing over her ear "kiss karne ki baut jaldi hain" quivered in pleasure as they traced her neck in soft soothing kisses " Ab bolo S kaha hain ..he mumbled softly into her ears jerking Swara back.

Acha ji ...Swara turned , looked at him her eyes spelling murder "toh yeh sab ? Cheater kaika ..badmaash.ruko abhi batati hoon" she reached out to pillow

"Arey Swara ..main toh bas .. "Sanskaar raised his rams in defense at pillow hits "Bas Bas" Tired she placed pillow back "Bola tha na nahi ho payega " she poked her tongue out.Not saying a word Sanskaar simply lifted her arm and pointed out exact place of "S ".Swara looked at him amazed ..quite not expecting him to find out.Her eyes shone with love as he gently took her arms to his saying "Mere naam ki mehndi haina."Raising them slowly he gently pressed his lips on her palms and looked at her..her eyes pouring in ardent love for him.Twining her arms with his ..he tugged her closer " Deal yaad hain na " he reminded her leaning closer .she closed her eyes ..her heart beating double as she felt his hot breath ..his lips brushing hers 'love u' he whispered against her lips...'love you too' she whispered back meeting his lips for a long long kiss .
