" I love how I speak so naturally to you,
Are you a fluency machine?"

Ishaan's POV

" I love you."

The girl kneeling before me said, wait what, she said she loves me.

Oh my god.

I just observed her for good 2 minutes and then I picked up my phone and played a piano instrumental.

" Now the setting is perfect. Please, repeat." I told her innocently. She glared at me.

" Ok, tell me will you accept me as your wife in all sense?" She asked me with growing anticipation.

" Such a silly question. You are my wife already, that too real one." I told her.

She shot up from her knees and pushed me hard that led me to land on my bum.

" Ouch" I exclaimed as she sat on my stomach. The wet soil underneath was chilling me and her touches were not helping me either.

" Can't you give simple answers? " She asked angrily. I just shrugged.

" You must have asked me in the hotel itself, the atmosphere here is so engaging, you know. See that hot girl over there - slim legs, slender neck, toned thighs, her burgundy hair, she looks so tempting. " I was describing a girl to infuriate her. But she smirked and gave me a ' wait and watch' look.

I was alerted. But, what she did shocked me.

" Jia, stop it. Please. Stop it. " I was laughing like anything and she was enjoying my state while pinching my thigh.

I changed our position and now she was under me. I repeated the memories of the last night in my imagination, the way I was sleeping on her and she was sleeping on me on that tiny, cosy sofa. That was exciting.

She was looking at me intently. My fingers played with her long curls. Her blue eye lined eyes were staring at me, with lots of love. Her heart beat was uneven. I was reminded of how she was concerned of my raised heartbeat last night that called Surfraaz to ask him, not knowing that it was her effect. That was hilarious.

In the heat of the moment, I sank my face towards her. Her lips were parted. Our breath was mingling with one another. My nose rested on her nose. The tip of my nose traced her cheeks, eyes and chin.

My lips brushed with hers and she shivered. I was about to kiss her when my phone buzzed. Disgusting.

I picked her from the ground, she was constantly looking at that damn phone which was buzzing.

" Zara, what's the matter?" I asked her after picking up the call.

" Ishaan, there's an emergency. Come up here asap. You need to have a concert tomorrow for my Dad's band." She told me in a worried tone.

" Okay, I will start to drive back now and will reach there by morning. Good night." I told her.

" Good night." She said and hung up.

I looked at her, whose eyes were on me the whole time. She was still in a daze. I cupped her cheeks and caressed it.

" I need to go. " I told her. I took hold of her hand and walked to our room, which was 10 minutes away.

As we reached the room, I locked the door and opened my blazer. I took a white shirt and was about to go to the bathroom.

She pulled me to the sofa and made me sit on it. She placed her head on my thigh.

" Will you leave now?" She asked me.

" Yes" I answered while stroking her head.

" When will you return?" She asked in a heavy voice.

" Maybe in 10 days or in about 17 days." I told her casually.

" Won't you miss me?" She asked. A lone tear trickled down her eye. She was crying and her tears were wetting my jeans.

I made her sit on my lap and held her chin up. Her eyes were red after crying.

" You will not come back. " Saying this, she started crying like a baby.

" You will leave me like you did that time." She cried out more hysterically.

" Shh" I tried to console her. But all went in vain. I kissed her tears. She hugged me tightly.

" Don't go, please." She plead but how do I make her understand that I need to go.

" I will come back soon, promise." I kissed her lips softly and let her take the lead. She bite back my lower lip and I hissed. Her kiss was growing wilder when she fell short of breath.

" Come soon. I want to have a monkey with my Gorilla." She kissed me again.

" What did you say?" I raised my brows at her. She just shrugged and pushed me into the bathroom.

I came out being properly ready. Her eyes teared seeing me dressed up. I kissed her cheek and sat on my car to drive back home.

I kissed her hands and asked her to take care of her. I will miss her so much.

I reached Mumbai by the time, sun was completely out. The days has been passing being busy in work for me, a concert then the other.

Our whole group of musicians were super busy to even spare a little time, so I couldn't even have a tiny time to miss my wife or call her.

The night time was so arduous for me, as my mind would drift back to the night we spent together in the sofa. I just wanted her with me, and on me for every night.

I decided to finish the work as fast as I can, and be by her side soon.

Jia's POV

' Bhabhi, you go. I will be here with Sanju and Anju." I was trying to persuade her to go to work for so long.

" Okay. But, call me when you feel difficulty in handling my cranky babies." She told me while laughing. She kissed their cheeks and left.

This is what I do the whole day, I just go to the hospital on my scheduled hours and return back to play with them.

I was so right, My Gorilla doesn't miss me at all. He is just roaming around with beautiful girls, in the name of concert. It's been 19 days, till now he didn't call me once.

Let him just return. I will make him sleep on the garden. One of the cuties pulled my hair. Oh my, how could I forget to tie my hair. I am so sure, she will leave after making me bald with that satisfied grin on her face.

" Sanju, leave this and see." I handed her, her favourite toy. By the time, I was feeding them, Vyom Bhai entered.

" Jia, where's Sona?" He asked me impatiently. I had that devil look.

" She just went away with her friend. Oh, what's his name?" I tried to recall hard.

" What?? He? At this time?" He had that cute boy look who got deprived of his favourite food.

" I have to make her memorise that she is now married and can't hang out with boys at night , that too alone." He mumbled while stomping his feet like a child.

I laughed at his cute antics, " Bhai, All the best. Teach her well." I winked at him and he had that tiny weeny pink colour in his cheek.

" Sanju and Anju , see your Dadda. His cheeks are so pink." I made them look at him. They started smiling and clapping their small and soft hands without the knowledge of anything.

" You are already manipulating my Muchkins to tease me, wait for my turn to come. I will not leave any chance to make you pink with your baby in my team." He winked at me and strolled towards his room. I was all red, out of shyness.

I heard his laugh from a distance. My foolish mind got struck on what he said, and I was in my Dreamland, imagining Ishan, me and our baby in a frame.

" So, his name?" He asked me out of blue when I was in a daze.

" Jishan" It came out so naturally, that I was shocked even.

" Woah, quite fast. Not even a month of wedding, and started thinking of baby's name." He was laughing at my expense. How much I regret for provoking him?

He took the twins in his arms and kissed them. Then, turned on the television. I was shook to the core as a familiar face, dazzled in the screen. I forgot to blink.

He looked so tired and weak. Had he even slept in these days? Did he miss me so much.

It was the recording of his concert in Mumbai, showing live.

" I wanna follow where she goes
I think about her and she knows it
I wanna let her take control
'Cause everytime that she gets close, yeah

She pulls me in enough to keep me guessing (mmm)
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back"

I was just mesmerized with the first few lines. His each words had so much love and attraction that it pulled me into him.

" She says that she's never afraid
Just picture everybody naked
She really doesn't like to wait
Not really into hesitation

Pulls me in enough to keep me guessing, whoa
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah

Oh, I've been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
You take me places that tear up my reputation
Manipulate my decisions
Baby, there's nothing holdin' me back
There's nothing holdin' me back"

The song ended. But, I didn't want it to ever end. Ok, so I will change his punishment. He won't have to stay out but he will sing for me, the whole night.

" Oh lady, back to earth." Bhai waved his hand infront of me. He just smiled at him.

" You are so whipped, girl." He laughed and went in, taking his 2 cuties with him.

Suddenly, the door bell rang. I was so thrilled that it would be him.

As I opened the door, I saw a postman holding a letter in his hand. I asked him, why was he here for ?

" Mam, I am here to deliver this." He forwarded me that letter.

" Who's the sender?" I asked him.

"Check the letter, mam." He told me with a shy smile. What's going on. He departed after I signed the paper.

I lifted the folds of the letter and saw someone's exquisite handwriting.

It wrote-

" See you at Diamond hub, Hospital road near street 13. Wear a black saree.
Your Gorilla❤"

" From when did Gorilla's started giving invitations? Gorillas are getting modernised." I mumbled to myself, and smiled a real one.

" I promise to love you, fight you and irritate you till I release my last breathe."

Ishaan's POV

It's been 27 days to our wedding. The ample happiness that we relished was out of this world, and her elegance was the cherry on the top.

On that day, Listening the simplest of the love words, ' I love you ' from her mouth, my heart thumped louder. I was ecstatic and energised.

I had a surprise planned for her. For which I was roving here and there desperately.

My watch went off and I got to know that her arrival was near. I reached backstage of the hub.

The place was getting crowded densely as the minutes went by. My eyes were keen to look for that black beauty.

It was time to start the show, but my wife was no where to be seen. I saw Rohit, Zara, Kshiraj, Ayushi along with Bhai and Sona Bhabhi , who were more excited than me, though I could feel tensions between Rohit and Ayushi. All were buzzing like teenagers.

" See, there's your black beauty with the whole family." Bhai said.

As I turned my face and my eyes met her, they were glued on her. She looked stunning. Her velvety , soft white skin with that velvet black and golden saree. She looked stellar.

Rohit nudged me from behind and I was ready to fill her dull eyes with love and adoration, only for me.

The lights turned on, and the spotlight fell on me. My heart had to say so much, but my mouth thought to limit these endless emotions to certain countable lines.

" Life is bleak without love, isn't it? Mine was boring too. But everything changed for good one rainy day, when I caught a glimpse of a dancing girl and lost my heart. She broke my heart into zillions of pieces. In the process of healing my heart, I found a love. "

With all what I said, her eyes held certain emotions now, it had insecurity, fear and much more... Only to lose me. Her eyes were just a blink away from tearing up. I continued.

" The second one was much deeper, dragging me more into it. Yes, I fell in love twice. She stood by me in my grimmest and gleamest of times and loved me more every passing day. My life has been an amazing expedition from then, filled with adventure, humour and a tons of love.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like you all to meet my wife, Mrs. Jia Ishan Malik. Love, please come on the stage."

My eyes met her glowing eyes, that was brightened up with love, and determination.

The spotlight followed her like a shadow, and traced the way she walked. The crowd, which was unaware of me being married were hooting and praising her beauty.

Ronnie and Mishka, with others were showing me thumbs up. I was overwhelmed...

" This song is for you, sweetheart." I told and my hands striked the strings of my guitar to convey my emotions in tune.

" Dehleez pe mere dil ki
Jo rakhe hain tune kadam
Tere naam pe meri zindagi
Likh di mere humdum"

{ In the threshold of my heart,
the day you kept your feet,
I gave away my life,
In a contract of your name, my soulmate.}

She stood on the stage facing me, with her most appealing smile that had love and satisfaction. I just loved her. I extended my hand, and she kept her hands softly on mine.

" Haan seekha maine jeena jeena kaise jeena
Haan seekha maine jeena mere humdum
Na seekha kabhi jeena jeena kaise jeena
Na seekha jeena tere bina humdum"

{ I learnt the way how to live,
I learnt how to live, sweetheart.
I never learnt the way how to live,
I never learnt to live with you, sweet heart.}

I pulled her towards me and her bare back touched my chest. I could hear her uneven heart beat due to our proximity. I turned her around, and she giggled.

Her eyes were scanning me, to read what's lying behind them. She smiled at me. We danced and we sang together. I carried her and turned her round. The whole orchestra was vibrating with the high key notes of piano and the guitar. I added some flavours of flute too, to make it more soothing. Maa and Dad were smiling at us. My in laws were teary eyed. They held love ,only and only love.

Love was in the air. I held her waist, and our heads touched each other's head. She lifted her head up unintentionally and our lips brushed past each other for a mere second. My body was hyper excited. We wrapped up the concert with the loud and thrilling thunders of laughters. She is looking even more elegant with that crept up reddish tone on her cheeks.

At the backdrop, I pulled her to me and voiced near her neck, " So Mrs. Mallik, don't you think we should start planning for a monkey?'

She rounded her arms around my neck and said, " Mr. Mallik, Don't you think that's too early?"

" I thought someone is eager to have a monkey. Ok, leave it." I teased her. She was about to run away when I grabbed her and asked, "Answer me, Mrs. Malik."

She turned away and answered as no with a tiny blush and hide her face in my chest. I left her hold and moved away. As she turned to see me, she looked hurt. I held her hand and brought her with me.

" Maa, I have a trip tomorrow, so I am moving tonight." I told her and Jia kept looking at me.

" Beta, you just came back yesterday. You can go tomorrow, stay tonight," she advised me but how do I make her understand.

" No Maa, I need to go for registration works. " I tried to convince her.

" Ok go, no one can keep you back. But, wait, why are you taking her? Let her stay back." She asked me pointing towards Jia.

" Not happening?" I said quickly, " No, I mean, she is needed for the registration. She is going, she has rested a lot." Jia looked red now, Maa was enjoying teasing us.

" Ok, go on your honeymoon, oops your concert." She said while laughing.

" Maa." I whined, I felt my face getting hot. Jia was not in any better condition either.

" I want a good news soon." I heard Maa saying her, as I came away to take out the car.

" You, why did you leave me alone after pulling up that stunt?" She hit my chest with her small palms.

" Don't worry, love. We will obey her orders and gift her what she wishes for." I winked at her.

Reaching my penthouse, I took her to the dark bedroom. I gave her the saree tied up in a gift bag to wear. I wanted to recreate our wedding night. She came out of the restroom, looking absolutely mesmerising. Red glowed on her white body and hugged her petite figure perfectly.

I made her sit on the decorated bed, and operated the switch of the small bulbs hanging around the corner of the bed as bulb tree to glow. It was the source of light in the room.

I decorated the whole room with led bulbs, cause she loves stars. I fixed JISHAN in the nearest wall to the bed.

She looked pleased seeing all those decorations. I pulled her to me and made her sit in my lap and removed her heavy neckpiece. I kissed her bare back and she shivered. I threw away her dupatta.

I turned her face in my direction and caught her lips in a passionate kiss that lasted long. I opened the first knot of her blouse, I undid the second. Till now, I had undid at least 13 knots still it's half done. Irritated, I got up and took out a scissor from my drawer. Jia was laughing at me continuously.

When I was about to press the scissor on the string, she opened it at once. I chuckled at her, " Now I will make you scream my name the whole as a punishment for laughing at me."

I captured her hands after I threw away my shirt, I undid her skirt and gave her a sweet punishment until we were exhausted. I placed a kiss on her forehead and kept her securely in my embrace for all the days to come in life, as mine.

Days of our life were fleeing by, and since that day our love bloomed like never before.
