Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength. Everyday is Women's Day till women get the respect from the world they deserve.

~45 days left for the wedding~

Yuvraj's POV

09:14AM IST, May 3rd
9/32A, Singhania Mansion
Jor Bagh, Delhi NCR

It's been half a month since the pre wedding video and photoshoot and we are back in our lives which is now full of chaos for the upcoming ceremonies. Organising two types of cultural marriages is kinda difficult when only one can make you go all crazy with all the works and responsibilities. And the wedding cultures we will be following is very famous in India. One is Punjabi whilst the other is Bengali.

The cards has been already printed and soon we will be sending them out to the ones we want to attend our wedding. As Mia wanted there will be only families, friends and relatives and the wedding will be strictly avoiding any media coverage. Of course this news disappointed the media but we assured them that we will be sharing some of our videos and images from the wedding so that they can publish them.

Wedding is like a big festival in India. And festival means Shopping. And you know it very well that a festival without shopping is nearly impossible so today we will be doing the same thing for my wedding. Today we are going to Mumbai for the wedding shopping and some of the rituals we need to complete before the major functions of wedding. After the shopping Mia and I also have to go to Melbourne to invite Mr. Johnson and his family as I have promised him.

So currently I was combing my slight wet hairs as I just came from the shower. I looked down at my outfit and nodded in agreement. I was wearing a blue full sleeved shirt that has been rolled up to my sleeves and a pair of black formal slacks. I had my blue Rolex wristwatch on and a pair of black Armani shoes. Grabbing my shades, wallet and mobile I tucked the wallet in my back pocket of the slacks and wore my shades. Pulling the door open of my room I walked out and closed the door behind me.

I made my way towards the stairs and found Alia on the stairs sitting and tying her shoelaces. Taking off my shades I tucked them in my shirt and walked down towards Alia.

"Hey sweetheart! Main kar du?" I asked as I sat down beside her on the stairs. She looked up at me and smiled nodding.

"Sure!" She said and forwarded her leg making it easy for me. I tied her shoelaces.

"Here we go!" I said as I was done with the laces.

"Thank you Chachu!" Alia said and kissed my cheek.

"Welcome angel! Come on let's go!" I said getting up and lifted her up in my arms before walking down the stairs.

"Chachu! Aapki shaadi hone wali hai Mia aunty k saath?" Alia asked wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Yes sweetheart! Mia aunty aapki chachi banke iss ghar mein aane wali hai! Are you happy about it?" I asked.

"Yes yes! I am so very much happy! We will have so much!" She said squealing which made me chuckle.

"We?" I asked.

"Yes! Sam bui, mumma, dadi, Mia chachi and new baby!" She said with happiness glinting in her eyes.

"You didn't include me?" I said with a pout to which she giggled.

"No boys are not allowed in girls parties!" She said crossing her arms.

"And who told you that?" I asked narrowing my eyes. I already know the answer though.

"Sam bui!" She said.

I knew it!

Sighing I shook my head and made my way towards the dining hall. Just beside me Duggu Bhaiya also came inside.

"Good morning Raj! Hey princess! Good morning!" Duggu Bhaiya said taking Alia from my arms.

"Good morning Bhai!" I said and gave him a side hug.

"Good morning daddy!" Alia said and kissed his cheeks making him smile.

I love their father-daughter bond!

"Come on let's eat our breakfast okay?" Duggu Bhai asked as he made Alia sit in her chair.

"Where is Bhabhi?" I asked.

"Here I am Raj!" Bhabhi said as she emerged out from the kitchen door.

Bhabhi is now five months pregnant so she cannot be travelling much. But she insisted so much that at last we agreed to take her to Mumbai for the wedding shopping with precautions of course.

Duggu Bhai got up from his seat and helped Bhabhi to sit on her chair and she kissed his cheek in return with a smile.

Oh how much I miss Mia right now!

Soon dad also came and we all greeted him and he greeted us back as he took his seat. Mum came with the servers and the dishes and they put the dishes on the dining table. We served the food for ourselves which was crepes with honey and a glass of mixed fruit juice. We ate our breakfast talking about the wedding arrangements and what we will do after landing in Mumbai. After the breakfast we made our way out with the luggages and settled in the cars waiting for us to take us to the airport.

12:01PM IST, May 3rd
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
Mumbai, Maharashtra 400099

Finally! It's took us more than 2 hours to land in Mumbai because of some climate problems. I swear I am so pissed of the Mumbai climate reports, they seem to change like a Varun changed his opinion. The bodyguards and some police officers surrounded us shielding us away from the paparazzi and the crowd. I was holding Alia in my arms whilst mum and Duggu bhai made sure Bhabhi was safe and finally we settled in the car which were waiting for us outside the airport.

I checked on everyone if they were ok and then we drove off to Chachu's mansion.

12:21PM IST, May 3rd
Singhania's Residency
Vasant Bihar, Alexander Graham Bell Marg, Malabar hill
Mumbai, 400006

I stopped the car in front of the driveway as we all got down and welcomed by Chachu, Chachi and Sam. I touched chachu and chachi's feet taking their blessings and then hugged Sam. Mum and chachi took Priya Bhabhi inside to her room so she can rest for sometime. And we also went inside and settled on the couch of the living room.

"How was the flight? I heard there were some turbulences!" Mahira chachi asked as she handed me a cup of coffee after giving tea to chachu and dad and coffee to Duggu Bhaiya.

"Yeah there were some turbulences due to the climatic conditions! But nothing to worry we landed smoothly!" I said taking a sip of my coffee.

"Mhm! Go freshen up I will set the table till then!" Mahira chachi said to me and Duggu Bhai. We nodded and made our way upstairs.

I went to my room and closed the door behind me before plopping down on the bed. Taking my mobile out, I texted Mia.

"Just landed some minutes ago and now we are in Chachu's home! Can't wait to see you tonight! I love you😘"

Actually I had already informed Mia before when we will be coming to Mumbai and yesterday Papa and maa (Avinash uncle and Devina aunty) invited us for dinner in their house tonight. Yes I call them Papa and maa just like Mia does to mine parents as Papa and maa. So yeah we will be having dinner at their home tonight.

A little whilst later when I was stripping my shirt off my mobile pinged. I took the phone and saw a message from Mia.

"Hey! I hope your journey was good and yeah I know when you landed I was just talking to Sam! And can't wait to see you too! I love you x"

Smiling I pecked her profile picture and left the mobile on bed as I made my way towards the washroom. Stripping off the rest of the clothes I had on my body I stood under the shower and opened the tap button. The cold water cascaded down my body making me sigh in relief.

After a quick shower I shut the button off and stopped out from the shower. Then I wrapped the towel around my waist and came out of the washroom. Grabbing another towel from the wardrobe I dried my hairs off and my upper body. I put the towel around my neck and took out my boxers, t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants from the luggage which was brought to my room by the guards. After I was ready I combed my hair and came downstairs grabbing my phone with me.

"Here you are Bhai! I was just coming to call you downstairs! Come the lunch is ready!" Sam said grabbing my arm as she led me towards the dining hall.

Everyone was already present in the dining hall sitting in their seats so I and Sam too took our seats. I sat beside Alia and Sam sat beside me. There were rice, naan, dal, baby corn and mushroom chilli and paneer tikka masala and kheer in dessert. After we were done with our lunch, I went back to my room to rest a little.

05:56PM IST, May 3rd
12B, Antilia
Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill
South Mumbai

I came out of the washroom after my business and went towards my luggage. Taking out a black shirt and a pair of black pants I wore them on. Then I wore my black Daniel Wellington wristwatch and a pair of black Armani shoes. I put on some cologne and combed my hair. Grabbing my wallet and phone I made my way out of my room and went downstairs.

I saw everyone ready downstairs waiting for mum, bhabhi and Mahira chachi as they were the only ones absent there. Dad was wearing a white shirt with a black coat and black pants whilst chachu was wearing a maroon shirt and a pair of black pants as usual. Duggu bhai was wearing a red shirt and black jeans and Sam was wearing a blue unsymmetrical kurti and a pair of white leggings with her hairs open.

"Ye lo Yuvraj bhi aa gaya! I don't know why women does take so much time to get ready?" Chachu asked and we were about to laugh but stopped when I saw chachi, mum and Bhabhi narrowing their eyes at us. Chachu laughed nervously dodging the glaring eyes of chachi.

"I-i think w-we should leave!" Chachu said stuttering and ran out of the mansion. Controlling our laughs we made our way out of the mansion and got inside the cars before pulling out of the driveway of the mansion.

06:34PM IST, May 3rd
12B, Antilia
Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill
South Mumbai

We stopped the car in front of Mia's home's driveway and got down. I signalled the bodyguards to take out the fruits, sweets and the other gifts. Nodding they started their work whilst I opened the door for Alia who was beside me on the passenger seat and lifted her up in my arms before closing the door back.

"Excited?" I asked as we all made our way towards door.

"Yes! Yes!" She said clapping.

I smiled and rang the doorbell as we waited. Just some seconds later the door opened by Nirmala aunty and she gave us a warm smile. Hearing the doorbell papa and Abhi also came outside and when they saw us their lips stretched into a wide smile. Papa was wearing a white shirt with a blue waistcoat and a pair of blue slacks. And Abhi was wearing a royal blue shirt with a pair of black jeans.

"Finally! Mr. Singhania! How are you?" Papa (Avinash uncle) asked to dad as they shared a hug.

"We are good Mr. Roy! How about you, Mrs. Roy and our daughter?" Dad asked.

"All are fine! Please come inside!" Papa said and led us inside towards the living room's couch.

We all settled in when Maa (Devina aunty) came with the servers who were holding some glasses in trays. I got up and touched her feet and she gave me a motherly hug. Sam got up and was dashing upstairs when she stopped by Maa's voice.

"Sam! If you are going to find Mia, then she is in the kitchen bete!" Maa said.

Sam nodded sheepishly whilst coming down from the stairs and then again ran towards the direction of the kitchen. Soon she came out dragging Mia with her. And I froze at my place when I saw Mia. She was wearing an anarkali suit with her hairs open but the front hair were fixed with some pins above. Her dress head some work on her chest part till her stomach whilst her sleeves were of full lace. The dupatta also was netted but had the same work as the dress in the borders. The bottom part of the dress had the same coloured simple silk cloth and some similar flower designs like from the chest's. And the leggings part which can be seen was of nets to the bottom. She was matching with the same pattern of stilettos and jewelleries. She had the dupatta placed on her right shoulder whilst the other part of it was wrapped around her elbow part of the left hand.

She had a very little but beautiful makeup on. Her eyeshadow was of a dark colour of her outfit whilst she had her lips marked with a shade of orange. A slight orange blush on her cheeks making them look more tempting.

"Oh my god! Look Mia is here!" Bhabhi said grabbing everyone's attention.

Mia smiled shyly and touched mum and dad's feet who gave her warm hugs.

"You're looking beautiful beta!" Dad said and Mia muttered a thank you.

"Yeah! She is breathtaking! My son is so lucky!" Mum almost squealed making her blush like crazy as her eyes met with mine for a fraction of second and that brought a smirk on my lips.

Then she touched chachu and chachi's feet who hugged her too. Then she was about to touch Duggu Bhai's feet but he stopped her and gave her a brotherly hug making him smile. Then she moved to Priya Bhabhi who was sitting beside Bhai.

"How are you Bhabhi and how is the baby?" She asked as she gave bhabhi a hug carefully. Bhabhi reciprocated the hug.

"The baby and I, both are good Mia and you are looking so gorgeous!" Bhabhi gushed at her beauty making her blush.

"You too bhabhi! You're glowing!" Mia said.

Then she moved towards me or shall I say towards Alia who was sitting beside me. Mia crouched down to her level and gave her a hug. Alia reciprocated the hug by wrapping her arms tightly around Mia's neck.

"Hello princess! You're looking beautiful! How are you?" Mia asked pulling back.

"I am all fit chachi! You're looking so pretty!" Alia said.

"Awh thank you princess!" Mia said and kissed her cheek before getting up.

Then mum called her to sit beside her and she obliged, sitting between chachi, Mum and Bhabhi. Maa asked mum and dad about their health. Then she asked about Priyanka Bhabhi. Then she talked with Alia a little taking her on her lap whilst Abhi talked to me.

Papa was talking with chachu, dad and Duggu Bhai. After sometime Mia excused herself and went to the kitchen to get the dishes done. Mum and maa insisted on helping but she denied them so Sam went with her for help who knows nothing about cooking.

I glanced down at Alia who was now back beside me and was playing candy crush on my phone.

The gaming applications I install on my mobile for her!

Leaning down to Alia's ear I whispered, "Mia chachi is working alone in the kitchen and you know bui doesn't know anything about cooking so you wanna help your chachi?"

She stifled a giggle when she heard me mention how Sam doesn't know anything about cooking. She nodded with a smile. Doing a dance internally I picked her up in my arms and got up from my seat which hit everyone's attention. I cleared my throat.

"Um! I think Mia needs some help! And I know Sam is not too good with the cooking thing!" I said.

Mum and maa nodded in agreement whilst Duggu Bhaiya and Bhabhi gave me a knowing look with smirks making me roll my eyes. Muttering an excuse me i made my way towards the kitchen.

I was engulfed in an amazing aroma of different types of foods as soon as I put a step inside the kitchen. Alia also sniffed and moaned muttering yummy under her breath and I nodded in approval. Truly the aroma was so intoxicating. I saw Mia was stirring something in a pan whilst Sam was sitting on the kitchen counter with a small bowl & a spoon in her hands.

"How is it?" Mia asked.

"Wait! Let me taste first babe!" Sam said dipping the spoon inside the bowl and then she took a bite and instantly closed her eyes whilst Mia stared at her nervously.

"Mmm! Mia this is sooo gooood!" Sam moaned.

"Me too! Me too!" Alia squealed making both of them jump and turning to us. Alia wiggled in my arms and getting the message I put her down. She ran to Sam and opened her mouth making Sam giggle. She dipped the spoon again and fed the creamy gravy to Alia. Alia too moaned saying yummy. And now I was tempted to know what the thing is. I walked in and stood beside Mia. She gave me a smile.

"Hi!" Mia said shyly.

"Hey! You look drop dead gorgeous today in this anarkali!" I said pointing at her dress.

"Thank you! Mum gave me this dress! I was about to wear something like a jumpsuit or saree!" She said.

"Well you would have rocked them too that I know!" I said.

She smiled and again took her attention back to the pan which contained the same creamy gravy and she stirred it with a spatula.

"Want any help?" I asked.

"Um no actually! I am almost done! Just the salad and the dessert item is left!" She said.

"Hm well I can help you with the salad though!" I said as I looked around.

"But you don't have to seriously!" Mia said.

"Still I insist baby! I would love to help you! So please!" I pleaded.

"Fine! Fine! You can dice the veggies! They're there on that slab!" Mia said pointing at the slab beside Sam.

I nodded and went towards the slab. I washed my hands and wiped the water off with a towel. Grabbing a knife from the stands, I looked down at the veggies. There were cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, onions, carrots, beetroot, bell pepper, parsley and feta cheese.

Sam picked Alia up and they sat beside the vegetables I will be dicing and looked down at me like they're watching the most interesting thing on earth. I looked up and scowled at them.

"What?" I asked.

They sheepishly smiled and shook their heads.

"What, what?! We are just curious to see you cutting these things!" Sam said.

"These are called vegetables Bui!" Alia corrected Sam making me snort.

"Whatever! Shut up!" Sam said and glared at Alia.

Sure Alia knows more than Sam!

Shaking my head I grabbed a bowl in which I added some olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt and some freshly cracked pepper. Cutting a lemon into two I squeezed the juice inside the bowl and whisked the mixture together. Putting the bowl aside I peeled the cucumbers and diced them along with the cherry tomatoes and the bell peppers. After that I sliced the onions. Pulling the parsley leaves from the stem I gave them a rough chop and crumbled the feta cheese.

Putting the cucumbers, tomatoes, bell pepper, red onion, parsley, and feta in a large bowl I poured the dressing on top and toss them to combine.

"The salad is done Mia!" I announced.

"What? I just asked to dice them Yuvi! You didn't have to! Mia said looking down at the salad.

"I know baby! But I love to help you!" I said assuring her. She nodded smiling and took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator.

"Yuvi! Here! Taste this and tell me if it's good!" Mia said handing me a small bowl having the same creamy gravy with a spoon.

"What's this by the way?" I asked stirring the spoon to find prawns in them.

"Malabari prawn curry! Taste it!" Mia said. I nodded and took a bite.

"Mmm this is amazing! I love it!" I moaned instantly as the creamy gravy hit my taste buds.

After I had the whole bowl I helped Mia in preparing Badam halwa by chopping some dry fruits. And when we were done we came out of the dining hall asking the servers to bring the dishes to the dining table.

I, Sam, Mia and Alia walked out of the kitchen room and made our way towards the living room where our families were seated. Their eyes snapped to us when they heard our footsteps and their lips stretched into a smile wandering over the intertwined hands of Mia and mine that I even haven't realised I was holding. But instead of leaving her hand I tightened my grip and gave her a warm squeeze as she gave me a smile.

"Mum! You wouldn't believe, Mia had made so many dishes! God I am starving after taking in just a sniff from every dish! Can we please eat now, please!" Sam said rubbing her belly which made Mahira chachi shook her head at her whilst the others chuckled.

"I think that's a good idea! Everything is done! So we should eat now! And also the food will be cold if we eat later!" Mia suggested.

"I love you babe!" Sam said and blew a flying kiss in Mia's direction whilst she smiled cheekily at me. I rolled my eyes and Mia giggled at her antics.

"Mia is true! Let's eat then! Shall we?" Papa asked.

Dad nodded and got up along with the others and we made our way towards the dining hall. The table has already been set with the dishes and the cutleries with a small vase having white fresh roses. The hall was filled with the aromas of the different dishes. Papa took the center table of one side whilst dad took the other side. To Papa's side were Maa and Abhimanyu whilst in dad's side mum and chachu. Chachi was sitting between chachu and Sam. Whilst on the other hand, Priyanka Bhabhi was sitting between Alia and mum and to Alia's side were Duggu Bhaiya and Abhimanyu. Mia was sitting between her mum and me whilst I was sitting beside Sam.

So to clear it for you, it was something like, Dad, mum, Priya Bhabhi, Alia, Duggu Bhaiya, Abhimanyu, papa, maa, Mia, me, Sam, Chachi and Chachu who was sitting beside dad. The maids served the food and the food items list is Basmati rice, Dal makhani, Butter naan Lakhnawi Dum aloo, Begun bhaja, Aloo posto, Malabari prawn curry, Makhmali Kofte, Mutton do pyaaza, Ajwaini Paneer kofta curry, Chana Masala, Lassi, Rasogulla, Mishti Doi.

My mouth almost watered seeing the delicacies in my plate and sniffing their mouthwatering aroma.

"Wow! This aroma! Mia it smells amazing! And you made this all?! Wow!" Priya Bhabhi said in astonishment.

"Thank you!" Mia smiled appreciatively.

"Mia loves to cook from her childhood and this is nothing! She has cooked for the every kids of Avinash's foster care many times!" Maa said.

"True! I always crave for her handmade food when I am away for business and when she was in London!" Papa said.

"Ah this goes for me too!" Abhimanyu said giving a smile to Mia.

Leaning down towards Mia's ear as everyone was busy looking and complementing the food I whispered.

"I craved for your handmade food too baby!"

Mia smiled shyly and tucked a hair away from her face behind her ear.

"So let's start!" Papa said.

Dad nodded and they had their first bite after which we all followed and ate our first bites. I grabbed the spoon and dipped it in the Dal and poured some on the rice. Mixing it I took the bite into my mouth and instantly closed my eyes as the amazing taste of the rice and Dal hit my taste buds. I almost moaned but controlled it not to make myself embarrassed in front of our families.

I looked from the corner of my eyes to find Mia looking up at me with so much nervousness as she bit her lip. Gulping the food down I turned to her and leaned down as I saw everyone is busy in complementing, eating and taking with eachother.

"The food is delicious baby! I was craving for it!" I said and sat straight.

Her eyes lit up and she gave me a wide smile before continuing her food. I too continued to eat my food. After dinner, mum, maa, Bhabhi and chachi went upstairs whilst dad, papa, Abhimanyu, chachu, Duggu Bhaiya and I were sitting on the living room's couch. Mia, Sam and Alia were outside in the lawn playing something and I so wanted to go. Abhimanyu and Bhai were discussing something in which I was also included but I was not at all concentrated in the conversation. So I excused myself and walked towards the exit of the house. Before I could step outside someone barged straight into my chest making me stumble a little but I regained my balance and took a hold of the person's shoulders to prevent her from falling. I looked down only to find Mia.

"What were you doing? You could have been hurt!" I asked and she looked at me with puppy eyes.

My eyes fell on her lips which were now pouted. Feeling my intense gaze on her lips she pulled the pout back and looked down shyly making it more hard for me to resist myself from kissing hell outta her. Wrapping my arms around her waist I started to lean down towards her lips and sensing it she closed her eyes fisting my shirt in her small hands.

"BUI! I FOUND MIA CHACHI!" Alia's scream made us both jump in our places. Mia scurried away from me and swiped some hairs away from her face shyly. Groaning Sam came out from the nearby pillar making my eyes wide.

"Wait a second! Were you watching us Sam?" I asked flabbergasted. She smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of her neck.

"You unmannered brat! I will not spare you today!" I said and ran towards her which made her eyes wide in shock. And she yelped before running away from me.

"STOP SAM! NO ONE CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME TODAY!" I yelled as I ran behind her. I heard some giggles from behind and I knew who they were.

My angel and My girl!

Ignoring their giggles I concentrated back on my mission kill Sam and ran faster.

"BHAI! I AM SORRRRYYYYY!" She dragged the sorry word but hell if I will listen to her today.

After some seconds I finally got a hold of the noisy brat and throw her over my shoulder making her scream louder.

"AHHH! BHAI! I AM SORRRRYYYYY! PLEASE PUT ME DOWWNNN!" She screamed punching my back with her tiny hands.

"So! You learnt your lesson for not spying on anyone now?" I asked cheekily.

She grunted and threw punches all over again. Mia and Alia came running to the place where I was standing with Sam upside down on my shoulder. They were laughing and I can feel Sam glaring at them.

"Ow ow ow ow!" Sam grunted in pain making my eyes wide in shock.

I lowered myself and put her feet on the ground before making her stand straight. Then I looked at her to find she was making faces in pain. I held her forearms and checked her hastily. Mia and Alia also checked if anything was wrong.

"Sam! You okay? What happened? Where are you hurt?" I asked in panic.

I know I can tease her to hell and even scare her but I can't see her hurt ever!

"It's hurting!" She said as she clutched her stomach and crouched down on the grass.

Now I was on my ultra panic mode seeing my baby sister in pain! I bend down and cupped her face making her look at me.

"Where is it paining? Tell me! Wait let me call a doctor first!" I said and fished out my phone from pocket.

"No need to call a doctor Yuvi! She is lying!" Mia said narrowing her eyes at Sam who was now smiling sheepishly at her. And Alia was giggling covering her mouth with her palm.

"What?" I asked frowning.

"Yuvraj! She was pretending so you'll leave her!" Mia said in a duh tone.

I narrowed my eyes at Sam who laughed nervously. Sighing I hugged her tightly in my arms caressing her hair as she hugged me back. I pecked her forehead and pulled back.

"You scared me! Don't you dare to do that ever again!" I said.

"Sorry Bhai! I won't do it again!" Sam said.

Then smirking internally, I picked her up in my arms in bridal style making her squeal.

"Girls! TICKLE ATTACK!" I yelled out making Alia and Mia squeal as they attacked a squirming Sam in my arms. Sam started to laugh uncontrollably as Mia and Alia tickled her requesting me to leave her in betweens.

"Oh my god! Yuvraj! Put her down this instant!" I heard Mum's screech and looked at her direction to find everyone looking at us with a smile whilst Mum looked worry. Even Mahira chachi was smiling but mum!

Typical worried mum!

I put Sam down as she stumbled clutching her stomach trying to control her breaths and laughs so I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and steadied her. I smiled down at the little sister of mine.

Samaira has been the light of my life from the day she was born. I still remember the day when chachu and chachi brought her home after the delivery to our home in Mumbai. We all were so excited about her welcome that's why we had decorated the whole mansion with our own hands and didn't let the workers do anything. Because we wanted to do everything for our little sister. When she came home in the arms of chachi the whole house felt more homely. When chachu gave little Sam to me, I was shit scared. Reluctantly I held her and when she smiled at me with her toothless mouth I felt more protective for her. I wanted to protect and hide her from the evil world. She grew up in front of my eyes. I used to make excuses to visit Mumbai only to see her.

Smiling down at her I kissed her forehead and she hugged me by my torso. I looked around to find Mia smiling at us warmly, I gave her a smile back.

~44 days left for the wedding~

Next Day, May 4th
10:12AM IST
Singhania's Residency
Vasant Bihar, Alexander Graham Bell Marg, Malabar hill
Mumbai, 400006

Buttoning my cuffs I came down the stairs and saw dad, Bhai and chachu in the living room.

"Chachu! Chachu!" Alia came to me running.

Bending down I picked her up in my arms and pecked her cheek. She was wearing a white frock that reached before her knees with a pair of white sneakers and she had her hair open with a headband on her head.

"Hey Angel! What happened?" I asked.

"Bui!" She said pointing towards the direction she came from. I frowned and looked at that direction to find Sam. My eyes widened at the sight and I pursed my lips controlling my laughs.

Sam was looking funny. She had her hairs tied in different directions with different coloured bands. Her face was full of makeup but none of them were at their place properly. Her eyeliner looked like they will touch the sides of her hair anytime as the way they were going in that direction. There was a big red bindi between her eyebrows. Too much of blush coated her cheeks. Too much of red coloured lipstick was applied on her lips and....*coughs* all over her lower face *coughs* nevermind! She was still in her PJs and looked damn angry just like an anime. Overall she looked........ hilarious!

My eyes widened more when I saw Priya Bhabhi coming out of the kitchen towards us. But she stopped and frowned when she saw the back of Sam. Probably She couldn't recognise her because of the weird hairstyle. Scrunching her nose she came ahead with still her eyes on Sam and as she saw her face she screamed out loud making Sam jump at her place. Dad, Bhai and Chachu's heads snapped in bhabhi's direction in alert and they came running towards us.

"Priya! Wh-!" Dad was about to ask something to bhabhi but stopped when he saw the weird looking girl in front of us. He, Bhai and Chachu's nose scrunched up as they tried to recognise her.

"What happened Priya?" Mum asked running out of the kitchen with Mahira chachi.

They also looked at Sam and their eyes widened in shock. Snickering finally we all burst out laughing which made Alia giggle in my arms. Laughing I took out my phone and clicked Sam's picture when she was busy glaring at Alia.

Groaning she gave us all a dirty glare and marched towards me and Alia.

"You! Alia ki bachchi!" Sam hissed making us and Alia laugh more. Alia snuggled her face in my chest laughing as she tried hide her laughs from Sam who was glaring at her.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Two familiar screams brought us back from our laughing session. Our eyes snapped towards the main door to find Armaan and Varun clutching each other like they are some kind of cheesy lovers. I made a disgusted face at them seeing their position.

"What the hell! Bhoooootttttt!" Armaan yelled again making me groan because of the all screams in the morning.

"You fuc-freaking idiot! Do I look like a ghost to you! It's me stupid! Samaira! Sam!" Sam said pointing at her.

Armaan and Varun frowned and looked at eachother. When they found in which positions they were they jerked back and straightened their clothes and cleared their throats.

Wait a minute! Varun? VARUN?! Wasn't he too busy in his works in Delhi?! How is he here?! And when did he come?!

"What happened to your face and hair?" Armaan's question brought me back to reality.

"This little devil! She did this to my face and hair when I was asleep! I felt weird when I felt something touching my face and hair but I shrugged it off thinking it must be Alia in her sleep! But this devil! Ugh!" Sam said and stomped her feet whilst Alia smirked at Sam.

Oh my god! From when?! Alia is smirking?! But from whom did she learn this?!

Of course from you idiot!

My subconscious said making me realise it was saying the truth. She must have learnt this from me. God! I need to take care of my expressions and words around her from now on!

"Alia! Why did you do this to your bui?" Priya Bhabhi asked in a stern tone.

Woah! A minute ago she was laughing like a mad lady and now!!! Mood swings!! *Sighs*

"I just wanted to use the makeup chachu brought for me mumma!" Alia said with a pout. Now it was my turn to gasp and gulp in fear sensing the two favourite ladies of mine glaring at me. Sam and Bhabhi!

"W-what? She wanted one that's why I got her one!" I said stuttering and looked at Bhai and dad for help.

After some more bickerings, mum wiped the makeups off Sam's face and also Alia said sorry to Sam to which she awed and hugged Alia.

I tell you, girls are weird!

Then Sam went to get changed whilst I asked Varun how is he here and he said that Mia asked him to come and he couldn't deny to his baby sister's puppy eyes. After sometime Sam came and we left for the place where we have decided to meet the Roy's.

11:01AM IST, May 4th
Royal Drop boutique
Ador Multiproducts Ltd, 6, K Dubash Marg, Kala Ghoda, Fort, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400001

As per the schedule we reached at the boutique but they were here before us waiting for us inside the boutique. Papa, maa, Mia and Abhimanyu were waiting for us. Mia was wearing a white sleeveless, collared flower cut lace dress that reached above her knees and had a thin belt on it. She has paired it with a white sling bag, a pair of white lace peaking toe heels and a pair of long pearl earrings. She had her hairs open just the way liked it with some slight curls. Her face was devoid of any heavy makeups except her natural blushing cheeks and pink lipstick. Her milky white skin was glowing under thousands lights of the boutique and she looked so beautiful. Her long slender legs were on full display and trust me I barely controlled myself from taking her then and there.

Damn she looks beautiful in every colour! But I love it when she wears red or white!

When they saw us they came and greet us whilst Mia touched Mum and dad's feet and took their blessings whilst I touched maa and papa's feet. They gave me a hug and then I gave a bro hug to Abhimanyu. Then I stood beside Mia who was smiling down at Alia who was saying something to her excitedly. I wrapped my arm around her small waist making her gasp but when she saw me she relaxed a little. But out of nowhere her eyes widened and she looked around they tried to come out of my hold. I tightened my arm and looked around frowning to find our families and the workers of the boutique were looking at us.

Oh! This is the cause then!

Smirking I leaned closer to her ear ignoring her wiggling in my arms.

"Stop struggling baby! You're going to be officially mine in forty four days! So get used to it!" I whispered making her freeze.

She relaxed and gave up leaning on my chest. Smiling towards all as they gave me a smile back I hugged Mia tightly and caressed her hairs. She smelt amazing. Her hairs smelt like strawberry and milk whilst her body smelt like pineapple.

So fruity! I wonder which shampoo & body lotion she uses! But soon I will get to know everything about her! Soon!

Pecking her forehead, I pulled back from the hug and looked around to find the manager of the store. Soon a man in his mid thirties walked towards us hurriedly.

"We-welcome sir! Welcome ma'am! I am the manager of this store! Thank you so much for giving this chance to us! I won't disappoint you sir!" He said and I nodded.

Then he led us towards the bridal collection and I followed him with Mia in my arms. And soon we were standing in front of an enormous area filled with many types of designer wears and illuminated with thousands of lights. There was a hint of rock n roll and a gorgeous interior design of rich dark blue with a shimmering gold ceiling. The bridal wears looked of high-quality standards, utilising the finest fabrics and originality of design.

Everyone sat down on the stools in front of the counters and I pulled a stool for Mia. Mumbling a thank you she plopped down on the seat whilst I sat beside her. First we will be choosing Mia's dresses for every function and then we will be choosing mine. And in between the others can go to look for their own attires.

"I want the best quality designer dresses for my bahu so you know what to show me now right?" Mum asked to the counter girls who nodded with a smile and scurried away to get the dresses. The first dress we will be choosing for Mia will be fore her and my Roka ceremony.

The girls came back with some dresses in mannequins. They showed us the first dress and it was beautiful. It was a lehenga. It was a Emerald-Forest green dupion silk lehenga adorned with our ancient jaal embroidery Paired with heavily jaal embroidered blouse. There were two options in dupatta, one was Emerald forest green net dupatta with sequins jaal embroidery and the other was Pale beige embroidered dupatta. The skirt came with a cancan.

"Um no! Show us something else! This is too bright!" Mum said and Mia nodded in agreement.

The girls nodded and took the mannequin away bringing another one to front. This one was a Baby blue georgette lehenga with gold sequin embroidery, paired with a baby blue georgette blouse with gold sequin embroidery. And it comes with a baby blue chiffon dupatta with gold-self sequin embroidery.

"I like this one!" Bhabhi said sipping from her juice that have been served from the boutique.

"Ma'am! Would you like to try it on, So that it will be easy for you to choose!" The girls suggested to Mia who smiled politely and got up from her seat.

"We will help you with the dress, please come with us!" One of the girl of the boutique said.

Mia went inside towards the dressing room with them whilst we saw some other dresses. I liked Red and White coloured dresses on Mia. And she will be definitely wearing red colour in her wedding and I want her to wear white on our engagement so I guess we will go with other colours for Roka and the other ceremonies. After sometime Mia came out wearing the blue lehenga. She looked so beautiful in every colour. And because of all the stared on her she was blushing like crazy. The dress hugged Mia perfectly. The low neckline sleeveless blouse made her look more sexy.

"Mhm I liked this one too! Mia, Yuvraj what do you think?" Maa asked.

"This one is good! She looks beautiful! But I think we shall see some more options then we will choose!" I said making Mia smile.

"Yeah I also want to see more options but keep it aside please!" Mia said.

The girls nodded and kept the mannequin aside. Then Mia went and changed her dress back and sat behind me. I leaned down to Mia's ear.

"You don't need to say please to them! That's their job!" I said. Mia looked at me and then rolled her eyes.

"Be a little respective Yuvi!" She whispered back.

I sighed but nodded. They showed us the next mannequin. It was a Midnight blue lehenga with cascade layered detail & sequin embroidered waistband. Paired with sequin embroidered blouse & ruffle dupatta. The neckline was round, it had full sleeves and a triangle cutout at back. Next one after that was a Dull gold lehenga with sequin embroidered detail. Paired with one shoulder sequin embroidered & attached veil blouse. And the neckline and sleeves were asymmetric.

After some more dresses and Mia's trials, we stopped as we decided the dresses for all the rituals of pre-wedding, wedding evening and post wedding. And it took almost five hours to select them. In between at lunch time, I, Abhimanyu and Varun went out and brought some sandwiches and pasta with some soft drinks. At 4PM we started to shop for my attires for the ceremonies. And as usual it took us more three hours to do that. We all were famished and tired so we decided to eat outside tonight. So I booked a reservation under my name in ITC Grand Maratha hotel.

07:45PM IST, May 4th
ITC Maratha,
Sahar Airport Rd, near International Airport, Ashok Nagar, Andheri East, Andheri, Maharashtra 400099

Parking the car I got out and walked around the car to open the car for Mia.

Well thanks to Bhabhi for telling mum and maa that me and Mia should spend some time together and that's why they agreed and send Mia in my car whilst the others went in other cars.

Opening the passenger side door I held out my hand for Mia. She took a hold of my hand and got down from the car mumbling a thank you. Closing the door behind Mia, we made our way towards the others as they were making their way inside. I had my hand on Mia's small back whilst I led her inside. The manager spotted us and ushered us towards our table. The table was away from anyone's eyes and was a private table in the VIP section. We all sat down whilst I sat beside Mia never leaving her hand. She was sitting on my left.

We ordered Butter naan, rice, dal, salad, paneer makhni and chicken tikka masala along with strawberry ice-cream for later in dessert. I didn't leave Mia's hand making her glare at me. I shrugged and tearing some naan I dipped it in the gravy of paneer and put it in front of her mouth. Everyone looked at me and her amusedly. My family was giving me and Mia teasing looks whilst Mia's family was looking at us in awe. I shrugged it off and insisted Mia narrowing my eyes. She sighed and ate the bite. I smiled and ate my food and fed her too. After dinner I was astonished to see Mia jumping on the bowl of ice cream and eating like a baby. Shaking my head with a smile I took my bowl and ate my ice-cream.

After dinner we bid our byes and scheduled to meet tomorrow for the jewellery shopping in the evening as I and Mia have to choose our engagement rings in the morning. I gave a tight hug and a forehead kiss to Mia and asked her to get ready on time to which she nodded.

09:56PM IST, May 4th
Singhania's Residency
Vasant Bihar, Alexander Graham Bell Marg, Malabar hill
Mumbai, 400006

Parking the cars, I got out and asked the guards to take the shopping bags inside. After all of them was gone inside the house, I also made my way inside and went straight to my room.

Opening the door of my room I closed it behind me and made my way towards the bed. Plopping down k closed my eyes for sometime and all I could see was Mia's smiling face making me smile.

This girl is ruling over my heart and now mind too! I wonder if they have reached?

I took out my phone and texted her.

"Did you reach baby?"

I tapped on the send button and waited for the response. After a minute or two I got one.

"Yeah! We have! What about you?"

Awh she is also worried about me!

I texted her in return.

"We too babe! You must be tired! So get some sleep I will talk to you tomorrow and don't forget to get ready at 10AM! I will come to pick you up from your home!"

Then I saw as the message went seen and she replied instantly.

"Yeah I am hella tired! Hm okay! No don't worry I won't forget it! I will be ready at that time! I can't believe we are getting married and in less than 50 days we will be married to eachother!"

I smiled seeing her text.

"Me too baby! I also can't believe this!" I muttered and text back.

"Me too love! But this is the reality! Now don't think much and get some sleep! Okay? I love you! Your Yuvraj!"

"Sure! I love you too! Only your Mia!"

Yes mine! Only Mine!

Pecking her picture I dropped the phone on the bed and got up making my way towards the washroom. I took a shower and get changed into my sweats before dropping my tired body on the bed. As soon my head touched the fluffy pillows I slept like a baby but not before putting my alarm.

~43 days left for the wedding~

Next Day, 10:08AM IST, May 5th
12B, Antilia
Altamount Road, Cumballa Hill
South Mumbai

Currently I was sitting on the couch of my in laws home as I waited for Mia. I was sipping the amazing coffee made by maa. Papa and maa were sitting in front of me. I was wearing a black shirt with it's sleeves rolled up to my elbows with a pair of blue jeans and a pair of white shoes. My hairs were messy.

Mia was ready when I came but maa offered me coffee and I couldn't deny. So I took my coffee whilst she went to her room to grab her mobile that she has forgot. I heard footsteps coming downstairs and looking up I found Mia rushing downstairs.

"Mia! Careful!" I said making her smile sheepishly at me as she slowed down and climbed every stair carefully. Maa and papa smiled at us.

What! I needed to do that! Remember when she almost fell down from the same stairs? I don't want anything to happen to her.

I took the last sip and got up as Mia came to my side. Mia was wearing a purple and black unsymmetrical dress.

"Maa! Papa! We will take our leave now! I will bring her back before the lunch time don't worry!" I promised them and they nodded.

"Shall we Mia?" I asked and she nodded.

"Bye mum! Bye dad!" She waved at her parents.

"Bye beta!" Her parents said in unison.

We made our way out towards my car which was waiting in the driveway.

"Come!" I said wrapping my arms around her as we made our way towards the car.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you are looking!" I said with a smile making her pout and shook her head childishly. I chuckled and pecked her pouty lips. I pushed her to the car making her caged in between my arms and stared down at her with so much love in my eyes.

"Then let me tell you baby! You're looking damn gorgeous! Can we just get married right now?" I whined the last sentence making her giggle.

She pushed me playfully and opening the passenger side's door she slided inside. I shook my head and walked around to the other side. Opening the door I too got in and buckled up.

"Ready baby?" I asked.

"Yeah! Let's do it!" She said with a smile and took my hand in hers. I smiled and pecked her knuckles.

"Let's do it!" I said and ignited the engine.

10:38AM IST, May 5th

I parked my car in the parking area and was about to got out when I saw Mia opening the door of her side. I grabbed her hand stopping her in between. She turned to me and gave me a questioning look.

"Really Mia? Why are you opening the door when I am here!" I asked in a little bit stern voice.

"Yuvraj! You don't have to do that always! I can open the door you know!" She said.

"I know that very well baby! But I don't want you to open the door when I am here! Let me be the gentleman and open your door and till that you! Sit here calmly!" I said and she smiled nodding her head.

"Good!" I said and climbed off the car and went to her side. I opened the door and helped her out.

"Come! Let's go!" I said.

"Okay gentleman!" She said tauntingly making me roll my eyes at her.

We walked inside the shop which was scheduled for two hours only for us. The manager and salesgirls welcomed us inside.

There were boys too working in the shop but *coughs* you know me!

"Please come sir! Ma'am!" The manager ushered us inside towards a counter.

I helped Mia to sit on the stool and then I sat beside her.

"I want the best ring for my girl! I don't care what's it price is! It should be the best, that's all matters!" I said in a stern voice.

They nodded and rummaged through the shelves. A worker from the shop gave us two cups of coffee and we thanked him for that. After some minutes the sales girls came with some trays and put it in front of us. There were so many different styled rings with different designs and all of them looked so beautiful.

Mia and I looked through the trays but didn't find anything special or best as I wanted the best for Mia. So I asked to show some more. They obliged and brought some more but the manager came with a tray in his hands specially.

"Sir! This is the best collection of the whole world that we have collected! I know you will find yours in this!" He said and placed the tray in front of us.

He was actually true. The tray in front of us was different from the others and it had more exotic and expensive looking rings. My eyes caught one in the right corner towards Mia. I felt a  tug on my sleeve and turned to find Mia tugging on my sleeve. I gave her a questioning look. She pointed at the same ring I was interested in.

The ring was red diamond ring with white diamonds surrounding it in a rose cut design. The red diamond was in a rectangular shape with a rose gold band underneath. And let me tell you, that the red diamonds are the most costly gemstones in the world.

I nodded approvingly and took out the ring inspecting it properly. Then I held my hand out for Mia and she put her hand in mine as I slided the ring down her ring finger. It actually fitted her perfectly.

"This one suits you!" I said caressing her knuckles as I looked down at the ring. She nodded in return.

"You sure about this ring?" I asked.

"Yeah I love it!" She said.

"Okay then! It's settled we are taking this one and show some similar ring for me as well!" I asked to the manager as he nodded and left to grab the rings.

After sometime the manager came back with two-three trays of rings and placed them in front of us. I looked around a found a similar one just like Mia's. It was a thick golden band having a oval red diamond in between with total sixteen white diamonds surrounding it. The ring was just like Mia's but it has a male cut style.

"Yuvi! This one!" She said and picked the same ring up which I was looking at. I looked at it and forwarded my hand. She slided the ring down my finger and luckily it fitted me perfectly.

"This one looks good and also is similar to mine! Do you like it?" She asked.

Well our thoughts and choices are also so similar! I can't help but feel that we are meant to be!

"Yeah! Actually I liked this one! Awesome so we are taking this one too!" I said and took out the ring handing the ring over to manager.

"Okay sir! We will pack this two rings! You are taking anything else?" The manager asked.

"Um actually! Mia why don't you go and take the pictures of the rings and send them in our family group so we can know about what our families thinks, yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah actually! That's a good idea!" She said and left towards the billing counter where the rings were about to get packed.

I sighed and looked back at the manager. Actually I wanted to buy something as gift for Mia for our wedding night and I wanted it to be a surprise so I had to send her away.

"Show me-!" I said.

(Nuh uh! No way I am going to disclose the wedding gifts, jewelleries and surprises just yet! You gotta wait for it!)

After I was done buying I put it inside my jeans pockets so Mia wouldn't find out about it and moved towards my car where Mia was already inside. I sat in the driver's seat and saw Mia smiling at her phone. Buckling up I asked.

"What are you smiling at Baby?"

She turned to me with that beautiful smile of hers and told me that everyone has praised our choice on rings and they can't wait anymore for the wedding. Honestly, neither I can wait anymore to make her mine officially! I nodded with a smile and drove off to her house. After dropping her I went back to Chachu's home back and had my lunch with everyone. They wanted to see the rings so I showed them. They praised it again and approved our choice.

04:34PM IST, May 5th

Currently we were inside the Jewellery store to buy jewelleries for Mia and her family is with us. I had choosed the best jewelry store in Mumbai as my girl deserves the best. Chachu, Bhai, Dad and papa hasn't accompanied us saying they don't have any idea about jewelleries so me, Abhimanyu, Varun and Armaan are with the ladies along with Alia who seems to be a little extra chirpy today.

Mia was sitting beside me wearing a striped blue poplin crop top features a wide wraparound tie at its waist. It has a square neckline and spaghetti straps. Whilst I was wearing a black t-shirt with a pair of blue jeans. Mum and maa along with Sam and Bhabhi seemed too excited about our wedding.

"Maa this is too much! You don't need to buy all of them!" Mia said as mum made her wear a kundan necklace. I just looked at them amusingly.

Of course there should be more jewelleries! After all she is going to be the Mrs. Mridula Yuvraj Singhania! And there were so ceremonies too so of course there should be more!

After a lot of whines from Mia, a lot of pressures from mum and maa, a lots of puppy eye begs from Mia we finally were done with the jewellery shopping and went back home. Varun drove mum, chachi, Sam and Bhabhi home whilst I dropped Mia back home as Abhimanyu had a important conference to attend.

~42 days left for the wedding~

10:45AM IST, Next Day, May 6th
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
Mumbai, Maharashtra 400099

We just came to the airport. We means, I and Mia. Mia was wearing a rose striped cross over halter top with a black high waisted jeans and a pair of white Nike shoes and pink ballerina bow earrings. Whilst I was wearing my formal white shirt with black trousers and black coat. I led Mia inside the flight by placing my palm on her small back. The pilot and the flight attendants greeted us and Mia greeted them back. I just gave them a nod making Mia narrow her eyes at me.

She sat on her seat and buckled up and I sat beside her doing the same. I was about to hold her hand but she snatched it away and gave me a glare. I frowned.

"What?" I asked.

"What! You are asking me what? Really Yuvi!" She whisper-yelled.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"What did you do! Oh god! How can you be so rude towards your own workers?" She asked.

"I was rude?" I asked frowning.

Was I really rude? Nuh uh I don't think so!

"Yes yes! You were! They greeted you and you should have been greeted them back like a gentleman! But you?! Ugh it's so frustrating!" She said throwing her hands in the air.

"Whoa whoa! Calm down Meri Jaan! Wait!" I said and pressed the bell to call a flight attendant. A girl in her mid twenties came and bowed.

"Yes sir?" She asked.

"Bring me a glass of cold water!" I said to which she nodded and left.

"See! That's what I was talking about!" Mia said.

"What did I do now?" I asked.

"Come on Yuvi! You could have added a please at last in your sentence like Bring me a glass of cold water please!" She said.

Whoa! Please! I had to say please?!

The flight attendant came back and handed me the glass of water and I gave the glass to Mia who took the glass from me but gave me a killing glare making me frown. Now what did I do?!

"Sir! Ma'am! Would you like something else?" The attendant asked.

"No!" I said without looking at her.

"No! Thank you!" Mia said to the girl as she smiled politely and left not before nodding.

"That's what I was talking about! You could be a little more soft towards the workers you know!" Mia said.

"Okay okay I will try baby! You just calm down! Come on drink the water you will feel better!" I said and pushed the glass towards her mouth. She drank the water and put the glass back.

After I knew that she was clam and the flight was in air, I unbuckled our seatbelts and pulled her on my lap making her squeal.

"What are you doing Yuvi?" She asked holding my shoulders.

"Just calming myself down! Just sit here and sleep baby!" I said and pulled her to my chest, nuzzling my head in her hairs.

She sighed and leaned on me and soon we both drifted asleep.

~41 days left for the wedding~

11:55AM ACT, May 7th
Melbourne, Australia

It's been more than forty five minutes since we landed in Melbourne and currently we were relaxing in the jacuzzi of our hotel room. Well basically it was only me inside the jacuzzi whilst Mia had her legs dipped inside the water whilst sitting on the edge. I am bare chested with a pair of black swimming shorts on whilst Mia was wearing a off shoulder blue crop top with blue denim shorts.

She seemed to be deep in her thoughts whilst looking out from the glass panel beside the jacuzzi. I put the wine glass back on the edge and swam towards her. Putting my both hands on her sides I looked up to get her attention but I didn't. I pouted mentally.

"Mia?" I called out and she snapped out of her thoughts looking down at me. She gave me a smile.

"What happened baby?" I asked.

"Nothing! I am just overwhelmed with all the things going on right now in our lives! I-it's a little....I d-don't kno-w how to explain!" She said.

Oh so my baby is nervous!

I took her hand in mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze with a small smile.

"Calm down Meri Jaan! You don't need to be nervous at all! I am with you and will be by your side at every step you'll take! So just calm yourself down and enjoy the moment! I promise, that the upcoming days will be one of the best days for you and I will make it memorable!" I said genuinely making her smile.

She leaned down and put her forehead on mine.

"I love you!" She said looking in to my eyes as a smile came on my face.

"I love you more!" I said challengingly making her giggle. Then I crashed my lips on her and we shared a passionate kiss.

"Now come on let's go and have our lunch! So you can rest a little before the dinner at the Johnson's! Yeah?" I asked. She nodded. I also came out of the jacuzzi and dried myself before changing into something comfortable.

Then I called the hotel service and they send us the lunch. The lunch was Eggs Benedict, mashed potatoes, bean, fried tomatoes and mushrooms and bangers. I made her sit on my lap as I fed her and she fed me. It was being frustrating, about staying away from her. I felt like I needed to touch or hold her every second so I could make my heart understand that she is here, with us. So I never left a chance to hold her in my arms and I was glad that she was comfortable with it.

After lunch I tucked her in so she could get some sleep whilst I wore a full sleeved shirt and sat opening my laptop in front of me because I have a conference to attend. It's been two hours since the conference has started and currently Karan was giving a presentation. But Mia's whimpers caught my attention and I looked up towards the bed to find her patting the place on bed beside her.

She's trying to find me! Oh my poor baby!

So I excused myself and turned off my camera before getting up with the laptop in my hands and made my way towards the bed. I sat down beside her sleeping figure and she instantly felt my presence as she dragged her body more towards me and snuggled in my chest. I put the laptop on my lap and focused the camera a little up so that it could show only my face and the bedpost and also muted my voice option. I attended the whole conference and when it was over, I put the laptop on the bedside table and snuggled in Mia's hairs clutching her body close to mine.

05:34PM ACT, May 7th

We got ready to go to Johnson's mansion to invite them. I was wearing a white t-shirt with a pair of blue slacks and a blue coat whilst Mia is inside the washroom, getting ready. I was wearing my wristwatch when I heard the washroom door open. My eyes moved up and widened at the sight in front of me. My jaw hung open and my breath hitched in my throat. My eyes felt like they will pop out of their sockets at anytime.

She was wearing a pink spaghetti straps knee length dress with a slit on the front and a sweetheart neckline and she paired it with a pink flowery earrings and a pair of pink heels. I am talking her on a date after inviting the Johnson's for our marriage and that's why I asked her to wear something sexy. But man, was I expecting this? Hell no!

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breathe as I felt myself growing harder down there.

"Baby you stay here! I will be back!" I said and rushed inside the washroom without listening to her and leaving her all confused.

After I was looking presentable, I came out and saw Mia putting on her Chanel Chance Eau Tendre fragrance. Damn that fragrance! I find it most alluring when Mia puts it on. It has Base of white musk mixed with jasmine, peony, rose, and high notes of quince and grapefruit. This perfume has a floral-sweet and fruity-fresh smell.

Walking up to her, I wrapped my arms around her stomach pressing my front on her back and felt as her breathe hitched. Her hairs were open with wavy curls and they smelt like lime and freshly squeezed oranges. I took a whiff of her smell and moaned.

"Can we just cancel the date and come back after giving the invitation card to the Johnson's!" I asked nuzzling my nose in the crook of her neck and damn did it smell good.

"Wha-! No we can't! Come on! I want a date before our wedding! Let's go!" Mia said as she wriggled out of my hold and dragged me towards the door. I sighed and followed her out. We locked the room and came out of the hotel.

The car I rented was already waiting for us outside the hotel so we got in and I gave the address to the driver and soon we hit the road. Mia was sitting beside me as I held her hand in mine and occasionally pecking her forehead and temple as she leaned on my chest. Soon the car stopped in front of the Johnson mansion and we got down. I asked the driver to wait for us and we went in and rang the bell. Trevor, Robert's son opened the door and looked a little surprised seeing me but then his eyes wandered over Mia's body making me furious.

"Hi Trevor!" I gritted out making Trevor snap out of his gaze on Mia and he looked at me.

"Yuvraj?" He realised.

"Yes!" I said.

"Who is there Trevor?" Nicole, Robert's wife asked as she came out.

"Oh my god! Is that you Yuvraj?" She asked looking delighted with our presence.

"Yes! Mrs. Johnson! Nice to meet you again! And this is my fiancee Mridula or you can call her Mia!" I said as I gave her the bouquet.

"What a pleasant surprise! Please come inside you two! Let's go!" Nicole ushered us inside.

We walked inside with my hand on Mia's back whilst Trevor sauntered behind us. Robert was in the living room and when he saw me he got up with a cheerful face.

"Oh my! Yuvraj?! What a pleasant surprise!" He said and gave me a hug that I reciprocated.

"Yeah! Sorry if we disturbed you Robert!" I said.

"Oh come on! We are more than delighted to see you here! Who is this beautiful young lady in your arms?" He asked.

"Oh yeah! She is Mridula Roy or you can call her Mia! My fiancée! And Mia he is Robert my business associate, she is Robert's wife, Nicole and that's their son, Trevor!" I introduced.

"Hello Mr. Johnson!" Mia said as she shook her hand with Robert.

"Oh you can call me Robert sweetheart there is no need to be formal!" Robert said with a gentle smile.

Nicole gave her a hug and Trevor shook Mia's hand. Then Robert asked to take our seats whilst Nicole left the room and Trevor sat beside his dad.

"They have a daughter too! Rosalina! Where is she Robert?" I asked.

"Oh she is out with her friends! So what brought you here all the way from India?" Robert asked with a smile. I smiled back and took out the invitation card from my suit.

"Here is your invitation along with your family Robert! Mia and I are getting married on 17th and 18th June and I want all of you to be present in my wedding!" I said as I handed him the card along with the gifts I bought.

"Oh that's lovely! Congratulations to both of you!" Robert said as he looked at the card.

"Congratulations for what baby?" Nicole asked as she came back with a maid following her. The maid offered us coffee.

"They are getting married on 17 and 18 June and they are here to invite us! All the way from India to Australia just to invite us! You took the promise seriously young man! Even if you had called us we would have definitely attended your wedding but I really liked your efforts!" Robert said.

"Wow! Really? Congratulations Mia and Yuvraj! I can't wait to be a part of the Indian traditional wedding!" Nicole squealed making us laugh.

"And you will love it!" Mia said.

After some little chat they invited us for dinner but I denied and informed them about our date so they let us go.
Then the driver drove us to the place.

07:56PM ACT, May 7th
Vue de monde
Rialto Towers, 525 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia

I opened the door for Mia and stretched out my hand for her to take. She placed her small one in mine and I helped her out. I asked the driver to wait for us and led Mia inside. The place was fine and beautiful with a brilliant view of the city. A waiter led us to our table after I informed him about the observations under my name. The table was just beside the glass walls giving a perfect illuminating view of Melbourne.

I sat in front of Mia as she looked out of the glass happily. The moonlight falling on her face along with the candle light that's between us on the table, made her milky white skin more beautiful in the pink cloth. She looked ravishing.

"This is so beautiful Yuvi!" She breathed out.

"It truly is!" I said with my gaze fixed on Mia. She frowned and looked at me only to find me already looking at her. And her cheeks turned fifty shades of red making me smile.

"Shall we order my love?" I asked.

She nodded and picked up the menu whilst I picked mine. After choosing the dishes we wanted to eat, I called the waiter and gave the order. I had my food with sparkling wine-champagne whilst she had her with white wine. After our dinner, I led us to the dance floor with the people in the place cheering for us and the couples who got up to dance. I placed my hand around her waist whilst interlacing our other hands and she dropped her other hand on my shoulder as we moved with the beats of Say you won't let go! I sang along the lines making Mia giggle whilst my life lit up with her musical voice.

And I meant every word I sang. Truly I met her in the dark and she lit up my world with her innocence. She made me feel I am perfect. I always knew I loved her from the first moment I saw her whilst to laugh out loud I never believed in love at first sight. I know I need her in my life and I wanna stay with her until we're grey and old. Maybe more after that! And all I wanted her to say is that she won't let go of me! She won't leave me! Of course I will wake her up with some breakfast on bed and kiss her forehead whilst offering her tea, of course I would drop our children to school and wave them goodbye.

I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far, my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
'Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most

I'm gonna love you 'til
My lungs give out
I promise 'til death we part like in our vows
So I wrote this song for you, now everybody knows
That it's just you and me 'til we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go

And I know she won't let go!
