Swara's POV-

Those idiots, Aryan and Tanya kept on embarrassing me on and on and on for two hours straight. We were sitting in our room and just chilling.

" Guys, honestly. If you both don't stop right now, I am going to kick you out of the house. So tell me, you wanna get kicked out or watch a movie and stop with this irritating talk?" I threatened them, but to my dismay, both of them had no affect. They were just grinning.

Grudgingly, I just put on Gods of Egypt and thankfully, it distracted them as we started watching it in silence but a sneaky remark here and there still made it's way. Halfway through the movie, Bubbles made his way and cuddled next to me.

..........................................................................................

When I opened my eyes.....just a minute, when did I fall asleep? I saw my head resting on Aditya's chest. When did he get here and where are those two best friends of mine?

Aditya looked so peaceful in sleep, just like a baby. So innocent. I placed a small peck on his left cheek and then unwrapped his arm carefully from around me, so not to wake him up.

Bubbles was asleep right next to me too. I crawled out of the bed, careful not to wake both of them and tucked them in before walking out of the room.

It was a little cloudy for a Sunday afternoon. The hall was silent. Everyone must be resting in their rooms.

I went out to the lawn only to find Preeti with baby Ananya.

" Heyy." I grabbed their attention.

" Hello Badi maa." Preeti said as Ananya looked at me with her big brown eyes.

" May I hold her for a while?" I asked Preeti.

" Of course Swara! Here." She gave her in my arms and adjusted my arm to support Ananya's neck. She seemed comfortable and didn't fuss as she was in my arms. She had a small smile playing on lips and my heart melted right then and there.

" Okay Preeti, when are we keeping the naming ceremony of this little cutie? I mean, we all have decided to name her Ananya but we do need a ceremony and we'll make it so memorable!" I lightly exclaimed so as to not startle the baby.

" I was thinking day after tomorrow. Will send the invites tomorrow! What say?" She asked, looking so excited.

" Done! Now let's go and hand over princess to her papa while we go and get the arrangements done." I said and she nodded.

" Swara, a minute please." I saw Aditya walking down the hall from the room.

I nodded, handing Ananya to Preeti and she walked off and I made way to Aditya.

" What happened?" I asked as I stood in front of him.

" Mrs. Kapoor, pack your bags. We are leaving for our honeymoon tomorrow." He said and he was so straight about it.

" Umm....let's reschedule? We are keeping Ananya's naming ceremony the day after. Can we please go after that?" I gave him the best puppy eyes I could muster.

" Love, of course we'll reschedule....wouldn't miss that for anything." He softened his eyes, keeping his left arm on my shoulder.

" Great! So now you go and take care of Ananya with Karan while Preeti and I go to the market to get stuff for the function!" I said, looking at him.

" You look hot when you get bossy mia amore." He muttered as he snaked his arm around my waist and pulled me closer.

" Aditya.....we are in the hall! Anyone can walk in. Let go of me!" I whisper yelled, trying to free myself from his clutches.

" Swara, we have been married two times now...I don't think anyone is confused about the equation of our relationship." He joked.

" So? That does not mean that you do this in the middle of the living room. You're going to embarrass me!" I exclaimed, furrowing my eyebrows.

" Embarrass you, you feel that I embarrass you?" Aditya asked, hurt masked all over his face.

" I didn't mean it that way Aditya! I didn't mean to....." Before I could complete my apology, he kept his index finger on my lips.

" I know love, I was just messing with you. Now you go. I'll be with Karan and Ananya." He said, distancing himself from me.

" This is not fair! I thought that I offended you!" I slightly hit his chest and he laughed, making me smile too.

I turned around to go but before that, I turned back to him, tip-toed on my feet and pecked his left cheek before running away.

" Come home soon." I heard him say while I was taking the car keys.

As I was walking to the car, Preeti joined me mid way.

" Let's go." She made her presence known and I nodded, taking the driving seat.

" Preeti, just make a quick list of all the stuff we need so that we don't forget anything." I proposed.

" Don't worry Swara, I have everything penned down. I am looking after the pooja, guest list and invitations. You take care of the decorations, food and Ananya's clothes.

" Yes ma'am!" I replied and we laughed.

In about 15 minutes, we were in the market, hunting for the stuff.

It took us around 2 hours to get everything.

" I got a really beautiful dress for Ananya. I'll go home and wash the clothes before we try it on for her so that she does not get any allergies." I said while driving back.

" Yes yes. We just need to make one more stop at the grocery store to get a few things and we're all set to go home." She replied and I nodded.

Taking whatever was required, we reached back home at dinner time.

" There they are. Preeti, go and feed Ananya. She woke up 5 minutes back and has been crying. Your dad, Karan and Adi along with Bubbles are trying to cheer her up. Swara, you go and keep all this, freshen up and call your Vaidehi. You left your phone at home and she called." Mom instructed the two of us as soon as we got home.

" Aye aye captain!" I mock saluted mom while Preeti walked to her room.

" Mom, do you think I should prank Aditya today?" I asked her.

" Offo Swara....you are not home 5 minutes and have started thinking about irritating my brother but I love it. Tell me what to do!" Karan replied as I saw him coming towards us.

I gave all the shopping bags to him.

" Meet me in the lawn later. I have a perfect plan in mind! I would have high fived you but you have so many bags in your hand." I spoke to him and started walking inside.

" Both of you will not trouble my son." Mom called for us but we walked in.

As I stepped in the room, a hyper excited Bubbles attacked me and in shock, I was about to fall down but I felt someone's arms wrap around my shoulders, Aditya's.

" You okay?" He asked, as he helped me stand properly on my feet.

" Yeah....thanks! This little munchkin here startled me!" I exclaimed, kneeling down to Bubbles and he licked me, very happy.

" This little devil has been waiting for you for a long time." Aditya bent down and sat next to me while patting Bubbles.

My heart could literally explode with happiness.

" He has a name, you know!" I muttered, looking at Aditya.

" Yeah, little devil. That's what I called him." He replied sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.

" Ha ha, very funny." I said, nodding my head.

" You did not just roll your eyes at me." He remarked, a smirk making way on his face. That infamous stupid side smirk.

I stood up and tip-toed to his ear.

" Oh but I just did. I'm not afraid of you Mr. Kapoor." I whispered, smiling and ran to away to the washroom to freshen up.

" Why did you run away then love?" He taunted me and I rolled my eyes again. Thank god he didn't see me.

" My legs, my wish!" I replied back with the only comeback I could think of at the moment.

" You do realize how stupid that answer sounded right?" He asked, semi shouting so that I could hear.

" To your ears probably. Get them checked. Or maybe you just don't have the aptitude to understand my sarcasm. Burnnn!!" I shouted and turned the shower.

" That was a very lame comeback." He said.

" Go awayyy.....I can't hear you! Now let me be in peace!" I lied to him, giggling.

" You are such a kid." I heard him voice faintly.

" No I am not!" I shouted over the shower.

" And that you could hear." He said. I decided not to engage further because now anything that would come out of my mouth was just prove that I lied.

Mr. Husband is trying to act oversmart. Good that I've decided to prank him.

After a long, relaxing shower, I wrapped myself in the towel and walked out to the room, assuming that I was alone but bot I couldn't be anymore wrong about it.

Aditya was sitting on the bed in front of his second wife, the laptop and his eyes held mine as I walked out.

" Are you trying to tempt me love? Because if you are, you're succeeding." His rough, husky voice made it's way to my ears, leaving me blushing and with goosebumps as I saw him walk towards me.

" I....I am...I am trying no such thing." I replied and started walking backwards as he moved near me.

He didn't say anything, just trapped me in between the wall and his arms. He then traced my collarbone with his knuckles and his left arms wrapped around my waist.

" Beautiful." He whispered, his lips brushing my earlobe and he then dug his head in the nape of my neck and started sucking it and I bit my lips to stiffen a moan.

I had suddenly gone so weak in the knees and had butterflies in my stomach. But before he could go on any further, a knock on the door interrupted us as I jumped lightly and distanced myself a little from Aditya

" Bro, come down for dinner in 5 minutes." Karan said and then walked away.

" Aditya Kapoor, you let me get ready right now." I said, blushing madly as I started to walk towards me closet but he held me wrist and pulled me towards him again.

" This does not end her Swara." He said with a glint of amusement in his eyes and placed a soft kiss on my forehead and then left my hand.

I was so flustered that I didn't say one word, just walked in my closet.

I got dressed and then walked out of the closet.

Swara's Look-

" Let's go." He said and I nodded and we walked to the dining hall.

Before sitting for dinner myself, I served Bubbles his dinner and then took a seat in between Karan and mom.

" I have thought of an amazing prank. Meet me in the lawn post dinner." Karan whispered to me without getting noticed by anyone. I gave him a small, curt nod and continued to eat.

Post dinner, as planned, I sneaked out to the lawn where Karan was walking Bubbles.

" What did you come up with?" I asked, excited.

" Basic. Classic. Just put on a lot of alarms on your phone and these alarm clocks for morning. Bro is planning to sleep in late tomorrow morning." Karan handed over a bag of alarm clocks to me.

" Oohh...it's cruel, I love it!" I replied, excited.

" Just don't forget to hide these clocks in your room so that he does not find them." He instructed.

" Don't worry! I'll do the best of my capabilities." I said and sat in the lawn, setting the alarm clocks starting 6 in the morning at the intervals of every five minutes.

Then, when I saw Aditya talking to mom, I sneaked back to our room and hid all the clocks.

" Swara, do you want to go for a drive?" Aditya asked, entering the room.

" Right now?" I asked.

He nodded. Why not!

" Okay....let's go!" I got excited and wore my slippers.

I grabbed the car keys and we walked out.

" Where are you taking me?" I asked as he started driving.

" Where do you want to go?" He asked, glancing a look at me before focusing back on the road.

" My favorite place in the world, marine drive!" I exclaimed.

" Marine Drive it is then." He replied, chuckling.

It took us around half an hour to reach there. He parked the car and we then sat on the pavement. For marine drive, it was actually pretty calm there. Not many people were there.

" Why do you love this place so much?" He asked, wrapping his arm arm around my shoulder and pulled me near his chest.

" I don't know. There is just a pull to this place. It calms me. Do you remember when we got married and the very first day I was loosing my shit and then you shouted at me?" I asked, sitting straight and looked at him.

" Yes, and I am sorry for that." He said, looking slightly guilty.

" Don't be. It was not your fault. It was no ones. So anyways, that was the day I was shattered, I didn't know what would happen with me, what will I do. That was the day in was at my lowest. I was lonely and miserable. I had called Aryan and he took me here. There was something in the air that day, it gave me hope and courage and most important of all, self belief that I could do it. I agree that I was 18 and bratty but this is the place that gave me strength that day." I confessed.

He looked at me and again pulled me closer to him. We sat in a comfortable silence for a few minutes.

" Adiya.....how did you know that you'll find me?" I asked him as I was playing the hem of his tshirt.

" I knew that love because I never stopped looking. Not a moment went by when I didn't think about you. You were my wife then and you are my wife now. Just because you thought that we were divorced didn't actually mean that we were. How could I sign those god forsaken papers." He said and kept his head on the top of mine.

" I love you. I never stopped loving you. I tried to hate you for what I thought you did to me but I just couldn't. I even tried to move on and I did go to a few dates but just left within fifteen minutes because neither of them was you. You are all I need and will ever need." I confessed.

" Mrs. Kapoor, you telling me about going to dates with people who are not me in not helping at all." His voice was a little dark and jealous and possessive which made me chuckle.

" You think this is funny?" He asked.

" Yeahh....a little." I giggled again.

" You think my love is funny?" He asked again and as I looked at him, he looked so cute, jealous.

" No...you are being funny." I replied, getting up and offered him my hand for him to stand up.

He ignored my hand and stood up and then held my hand.

" Let's go and have your favorite ice cream." He said and I nodded excitedly.

We both had ice creams and then I made him share a cotton candy with me which he did reluctantly.

" You are my whole life Swara." He said, his voice so soft.

" And you are mine Mr. Husband. Thank you for being you." I replied as he held the car door for me to slip in.

He is love, my love.
