Our First, Forever Moment

"Why are you going away, sweetheart?", I said, my voice was dripped with vulnerability. Feeling discarded, my heart ached.

I was taken aback by your next words; absolutely unexpected.

"Kangaroos.", you uttered, wailing like a child.

My eyes almost widened, "Kangaroos?" I couldn't believe the reasoning of yours.

"They are dancing in my stomach.", your voice spoke, sounding helpless at the stomach ache.

I was lost in the moment, unable to resist the urge to gently press a kiss to your cheek.

"Kangaroo family.", you claimed, stopping me from kissing further.
I looked at you, your face painted with crimson- all shy.

My heart skipped a beat at the adorable beauty before me.

Overwhelmed by emotion, I couldn't resist kissing every spot I vowed to cherish forever. My lips grazed your neck, but you danced away, halting my moments.

My hand cradled at the back of your neck, gently trying to refrain it from any moments. You swayed again before my lips could touch your neck.

I stood still, my gaze filled with love for you- love for God's exquisite masterpiece. Love for my sweetheart, guardian angel, and wife, who lifted me out from life's strife.

Your cheeks flushed crimson as your hands wrapped around my neck, supporting me.

I paused my kisses, nestling my head in the warmth of your neck, inhaling your addicting scent. Your gentle fingers stroked my hair as I whispered, "Kangaroos will keep coming."

I yearned to shower you with countless kisses, knowing our wedding in two months would mark a new chapter.

But those fluttering 'kangaroos' - the butterflies you'd affectionately named - refused to cooperate.

Suddenly, you exclaimed, "But their families are here!"

Irritation and annoyance danced on your face, yet I couldn't help but be captivated by your adorable expression. My heart swelled, bursting with love for your every emotion.

"Let the great grandfathers come too.", I declared, gently attacking your neck again.

Your eyelids fluttered closed, and your breath caught as I gently took your skin between my lips.

One. Two. I planted two tender kisses on your neck, then restrained myself, mindful of your frailty- The pain in your stomach. I didn't want to increase the ache in your stomach.

I silently took in you my embrace tightly, reminding myself I had to leave then.

You gently stroked my back, the accelerated beatings of your heart- ringing like a sweet melody to my ears.

"My Adam's apple has been bobbing down a lot since I came here. I think it needs a break.. and, a few tender kisses by you."

You gently broke our embrace, creating a tender space between our physical bodies.

As I lifted my chin, your face drew closer, and my nerves fluttered with extreme delight at your unexpected agreement.

Soft kisses grazed my neck, sending a sense of warmth in my body. My heart thumped loudly as I finally felt your lips capturing the skin near my larynx.

From Dreams to Reality. My heart pounded loudly, melting me into bliss.

I wasn't able to figure anything out. I couldn't believe that this all was real. Your lips. My larynx. Your lips on my larynx.

Even now, that moment is the cherished highlight of my life.

After showering me with kisses, you gazed into my face. Your dark brown eyes burnt with intense love and longing for me, melting my heart. Just as kangaroos were beginning to transport to my stomach, my phone rang loudly in the silent room.

"I have to go.", I announced immediately, coming out of the moment.

As I gently got away from your grasp, I stood up on the mattresed floor.

But before I could process anything- you swiftly pulled me back toward the bed, my inattentive body surrendering to your gentle tug.

As I fell on the bed, finally in the conventional position, you climbed alongside me. Your body, aligning with mine.

You intertwined your right hand with my left, filling the spaces between my fingers- a perfect fit, proof that you were my soulmate, my missing piece.

Your left hand rested on my chest, racing the beatings of my heart. Blush crept to my neck as soon as I was aware of our intimate position, you above me, yet not hovering, but rather leaning on your elbow, your body angled beside mine.

"You know, love?", your voice spoke.

The fingers of your left hand tracing my neck, chin, lips, cheeks, forehead and finally stroking my hair.

My heart pounded heavily at the sensual interaction.

"You should always listen to your wife."

As I nodded, my Adam's apple bobbed down abruptly.

"You are supposed to listen to me then.", your voice took on a gentle command. "You will leave in the next 10 minutes but not right now.", you added, my stomach fluttered with anticipation, kangaroos jumping in my stomach at your words. Preferrably, butterflies stirring.

In the heat of the moment, words failed me; all I could manage was a nod. You rose above me, your lips inches apart from mine.

Before I could gather my thoughts up, your lips claimed mine. My breath hitched, catching me off-guard. My eyes shut tight, feeling my lips move in a perfect sync with yours.

A storm formed inside me- thoughts collided like crashing waves, emotions churned like the ships on sail. Inside the cage like ribs, my heart fluttered- desperate to escape and meet yours.

The ticking wall clock, our ragged breathing, and pounding hearts filled the silent room.

The cold breeze from the window complemented our moment. Goosebumps erupted all over my skin and my thoughts remained scattered like autumn leaves.

Your lips slid on my skin, settling on the sensitive curve of my neck. Softly grazing the spot, you sucked gently, sending my breath hitching once more. My heart racing, a rush of dopamine and oxytocin coursed through my veins.

Each gentle suck sparked butterflies, accelerating my heartbeat. Oxytocin surged, flooding me with feelings of love and connection. Your lips left a trail of wet, sloppy kisses on either side of my neck, leaving me breathless and struggling to deal with the responses of my body.

The effect you had on me was intoxicating, an insane blend of desire and vulnerability.

And with that, our first date became unforgettable.

I still cherish the midnight conversation after our love's first whisper. I still remember how you confessed your longing for more kisses, playfully cursing kangaroos for their interruption in the wrong moment. Your adorable pout remains etched in my memory, my forever love.

Those two months were filled with extreme ache and longing. The fleeting moment's memories tortured me day and night as I craved your ethereal physical presence beside me.

And, right now, as I have you by my side, as the mother of my child, I feel divinely blessed.

You've made me the most grateful and triumphant man alive, my dear Aashvi Malhotra.

Thank you for everything, my love. Thank you for being my soulmate, my partner, and my forever home.
