Avni's PoV

I still can't believe that it's already been a week since I got married, since I started living at my in-laws house ..... though they've treated me as their daughter instead of daughter-in-law I'm still missing my parents ....... it's obvious right !

The good thing is that I started going to my boutique along with Nidhi di ..... I'm happy that she started working with me, because of her we've got many new designs & have received many orders .......

I hardly met Neil during this one week, he was busy travelling from one city to another city ..... I've been told by Arav jiju that he is busy with some project meetings & for this he had to travel ......

I'm not complaining that am not getting time to spend with him ..... okay let me be truthful to you all, yes am feeling really bad that am not getting time to spend with him, actually this is the right time for newly wedded couple to understand each other ......

But in our case we're not getting time only ..... I truly believe in this quote " whatever happens, happens for a reason" just go with the flow no matter what ....

Avni ..... I heard someone say while tapping on my shoulder & that is when I came out of trance

Turning to the other side I saw Nidhi di standing & smiling at me ...... no it's not a normal smile, it looks like a teasing one .......

Every time you'll be lost in Neil's world only, sometimes think about us as well, please ..... I heard her say in teasing tone

A mere mention of his name & I'll blush .... gosh am literally behaving like teenage girl nowadays.... & this whole & sole credit goes to none other than my husband Mr. Neil Khanna ....

Avni am talking to you ...... I heard Nidhi di say while snapping her fingers infront of me

Yeah di, let's go ..... I said while diverting the topic

Okay ..... I heard her say

After 1/2 hr we reached home, I could see Neil's car parked in car shed .... but how come he is so early, I mean usually he comes home around 11pm or sometimes after that ..... & now it is only 6pm ...... thinking this I went inside along with Nidhi di ........

The moment I stepped inside I was in the air .... looking down I realised that Neil lifted me up in the air & was twirling me , while saying something ..... that is when I concentrated on his words .....

Thank you so much Avni, thank you .... thank you .... these are the only words he kept repeating

Neil put me down ..... I said while patting on his shoulder

Neil beta Avni ko niche utharke bhi thank you bol saktha hain ...... I heard her bebe say

That is when I scanned the whole living area & saw everyone including my mom & dad standing there while smiling at us ..... oh gosh, such a embarrassing situation ......

Neil put me down, everyone is seeing us ..... I said while looking down at him

He slowly put me down & was looking at me while smiling ..... I could see tears in his eyes, before I could ask him I felt something inside my mouth ..... that is when I realised that it's a sweet which is fed by Shweta ma .......

I can see tears in her eyes also  .... what happened why everyone are behaving like this & looking at me like they never saw me ...... I was about to ask the reason but couldn't, as I saw Neil moving towards the stairs .......

God bless you beta ..... I heard Shweta ma & Prakash papa say while keeping their hands on my head

Indeed you're very lucky for my chote, be happy always & god bless you ...... I heard Arav jiju say while putting his arm around my shoulder

I'm very happy for you both Avni ..... saying this Nidhi di hugged me

Jeethe raho puttar, humesha khush raho ..... saying this bebe kissed me on my forehead

I was just standing there like a statue .... not understanding what's going on ..... I know for a fact that they all love me a lot but why are they behaving like this ? .....

We love you princess, we both are very happy for you & Neil ..... I heard my dad say while hugging me from one side & from other side my mom hugged me

Mom, dad are you going to tell me what's happening here ? ..... I asked while looking at them

Beta go to your room, you'll get all the answers .... your husband will tell you everything in detail .... I heard Shweta ma say while smiling at me

Nodding at her I started moving towards the stairs, I don't know what did I do .... why everyone are showering so many blessings on me, not that I don't need them but why suddenly ..... I mean there should be some reason right ?

The moment I entered my room I've been lifted up in the air again .... he started twirling me .... I was telling him to put me down but he was in no mood to do that ..... after some time I was lying on top of him while he was lying on the bed .....

How did we ended up here ? since how long we are in this position ? why did he lift me up in the air ?.... for every question my answer is same ... I don't know !

I was about to ask him but couldn't as I was drowned in his brown orbs ..... he also started looking into my eyes deeply ...... well if anyone see US in this position they will definitely think we were having some intimate moment .......

We didn't utter a single word .... our eyes were having their own silent conversation ..... his heart beats were matching the pace with mine ...... is this happening in real ? I've read many romantic novels & this will be the very common scene ....

I thought these scenes are restricted to only novels but I was wrong, this is happening in real & that too with me ..... wow, am very happy .... shall I tell you one secret, whenever I used to read such romantic novels, I use to imagine myself in that female's lead place  ....

What ? There is no harm in imagining, everyone does that ..... about male lead, hmmm I used to blur his face ..... hahahaha funny right, I know ..... I wonder, if all the scenes in romantic novels happens in real & that too with me, what will I do ?

Avni after I tell you the good news, we can stay in this position if you want but for now shall we get up ...... I heard him say while smiling at me

I immediately got up & turned to other side .... Oh gosh how stupid I'm ... what will he think about me, a desperate woman ....... no, he shouldn't think in that way, shall I say sorry .... are you dumb Avni ...

What will you say haan, am sorry Neil I was lost in fantasy world, So I didn't realise our position or will you say, am sorry Neil I was imagining ourselves as male & female leads in some romantic novels ....... stop thinking & be quite ...... I heard my brain say

Avni turn to my side ..... I heard him say

Oh god, he is asking me to turn towards him .... what will he do? No I should run from here before he does something to me ...... Avni stop behaving like a mad person ..... I heard my inner voice

He already told you that there is some good news which he wanted to share with you ..... So calm yourself & turn towards him ..... this time it was my heart ..... I slowly turned to his side & my eyes were fixed on my fingers which were fidgeting with my dress ......

Are you feeling shy to look at me ? ..... I heard him say in teasing tone

Am damn sure, his smile would've replaced by a smirk by now ..... No Avni you can't let him understand You, So easily ..... thinking this I calmed down myself & looked at him before replying ......

Why will I feel shy Neil, infact I was about to ask you the same question ..... I mean you never took so time to talk to me but now you're behaving differently .... Are you feeling shy to talk to me ? ... I asked while raising my eye brows

I could see his eyes widening in shock after listening to my words .... well not bad Ms. Avni Mehta oops sorry Mrs. Avni Khanna, I appreciated myself ...... while patting my shoulders

Am not feeling shy ..... I heard him say while looking in different directions

Okay if you say so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Acha now tell me what's the good news you wanted to share ? ..... I asked him while raising my eye brows

So yeah, there was a meeting which was held at US last year ..... architects from throughout the world attended that meeting & also submitted their design brochures including me .....

Since then I was eagerly waiting for their call but I didn't get ..... I was very disappointed as it was my dream project & having no other option I gave up on my dream .......

Guess what today afternoon I received a call from them, they said my designs were too good & were different & they have selected me for this project .. for a second I totally became numb ....

I couldn't believe my ears whether it was happening in real or am I imagining .... their voice brought me back to reality ..... after disconnecting the call I was literally jumping .......

This all happened because of you .... you are really very lucky for me ..... thank you so much Avni ..... I heard him say all this in one go & he hugged me tightly

Without wasting a second I reciprocated the hug .... I felt really happy by listening to his words .... though I use to listen "you're lucky for me" since childhood from my father & my brothers, it felt really special when I heard this from Him ......

By this month end we both will be shifting to US & from next month I should start working on my project ..... am really feeling very excited, finally my dream is coming true ..... I heard him say while getting up from the bed

Is it possible to have two feelings at the same time? Right now I'm in that state ..... am feeling very happy that we are going to US at the same time am feelings nervous thinking that only we both will live in that house .......

He was continuously talking something but nothing is getting into my brain ..... as it is occupied with different thoughts ........

Avni ..... I heard him say while patting on my shoulder

Haan Neil ..... I said while looking at him

Where have you lost, I've been talking to you continuously but there was no reply from you .... Are you okay ? ..... I heard ask in concerned voice

Yeah am okay Neil, I was just thinking about the Visa & all ..... I replied while looking at him

Don't worry about that, I'll take care of everything .... you just take care of packing our luggage & shopping ....... I heard him say while smiling at me

Okay ..... I said while looking at him

Don't forget to give me your passport ...... I heard him say

I'll give you now ..... I said

I saw him moving towards the window while thinking something ...... & I moved towards the wardrobe to take out my passport ..... there are n number of thoughts roaming in my mind ......

Will I be able to manage everything in US ?
Will I be able to open a new boutique in US ?
What if he doesn't give me permission to do that ?
How can I sit idle at home, which I never did ?
What if he changes after going there ?

Avni .....

As soon as I heard him taking my name, I turned in his direction ..... guess what, I landed myself in his arms as usual ........ & our eyes met again ..... don't you guys think we should play lead characters in some romantic movie or a serial or a novel ? Am damn sure it will be a super hit ......

Each time I look into those brown orbs, I see different emotions ..... but my bad luck I can never decode them ..... as am very poor at understanding them ..... by any chance can I get a novel, in which I can get tips to read my husband's eyes ?

You dumb Avni, how can some author write a novel about your husband's eyes .... it's your right to understand them .... it was my conscience .... I mentally slapped myself, how can I be so dumb ?

Gosh ! if I look into his eyes for one more second I'd end up kissing him senselessly ..... what ? It's not my mistake okay, I mean this is what happens in every romantic novel right, then, how come I can be wrong ?

Avni stop reading romantic novels, atleast for some days .... I heard my devil brain say ... arghhh I hate you brain, heheheh as if I love you dumb Avni ..... I heard my brain ..... I just want to kill it, calm down Avi .... inhale, exhale ...... I did this for 5times .....

Avni you can do it some other time, right now you've another task to do which is way more important than that ..... coming out of your husband's grip ..... this time it was my heart ..... I love you my heart ❤️

I took a deep breathe before saying .....

Let's go downstairs, everyone one must be waiting for us ......

As soon this words hit his ears he made me stand on my feet & took a step away from me ..... oh gosh, am already missing his warmth ........ is it not possible for US to be in that position only forever ?

Avni why are you hell bent on proving that the title "dumb" given to you by your brain is indeed correct ? ..... I heard my heart say ..... I guess my brain & my heart are in mood to scold me ......

Hey there .... I heard my brain whispering to me ... oh wow am glad that you're back, sarcasm was evident in my tone ..... how on earth is it possible for you both to stay in that position forever, I mean you both are humans not statutes ..... stop thinking like a dumb ......

Hey am not dumb ok ..... well I've read the same thing in many romantic novels, So I also tried to think in that way you know ..... & if you wanna call someone as dumb then call those romantic novel authors not me .......

Avni first stop reading those stupid novels ..... that is just a fiction & this is real life .... there is a huge difference in these, So come out of the fiction world & start concentrating on real world ..... I heard my conscience ... well even I agree with this point ... this time it was my heart .....

Great! How cool is that ? Both my brain & heart are on same page ..... to be frank if I take their words seriously, I think they are 100% correct ..... I should stop relating real world & fiction world .....

Hey I guess you both are correct this time ..... I replied .... wow it calls for a celebration ... I heard my brain say ..... whatever .... I said while shrugging my shoulders

Avni are you okay ? ...... I heard him say

How come I'm able to listen his voice from my inside ..... it should be either my brain or my heart or me, then how come it is possible ? ..... Stupid Avni his voice is not coming from your inside, he is talking to you while standing right infront of you ....

My eyes were widened in shock after the realisation hit me .... oh no I was not standing alone in this room, he is there ..... how can I be so dumb ? What if he had heard my conversation with my brain & heart ..... & thinks me as stupid .....

Avni calm down nothing will happen ..... take a deep breathe & reply him normally ..... I said to myself before turning in his direction .......

Yeah am okay, infact I was waiting for your reply ..... I said while looking at him

What reply ? ..... I heard him ask in confused tone

I said we'll go downstairs but you didn't replied anything ..... I said while looking at him

I already replied, asking you to go down & I'll be joining you all in 10 mins .... I heard him say

Oh he replied & I didn't even listen to it .... wow it's really great .... but when did he replied ? Thinking all these I stood there while having confused expressions .....

I replied when you were having conversation with your brain .... & yeah by the way you were looking so cute then ...... I heard him whispering into my ears sending shivers down my spine as his hot breathe was fanning against my neck

I was about to come out that shock & he gave me another shock .... he kissed me on my cheeks making my eyes widened ..... before I could say anything he left the room while winking at me .....

I just stood there like a statue ..... gosh how can he have so much effect on me .... he never leaves a chance to turn my face into crimson red ..... obviously I was blushing like a fool tracing my cheeks where he kissed me ......

Before anyone come here to call me, I should go down ..... thinking this I looked myself in the mirror & moved out of the room !!

*******

Oh my god, you're moving to US ..... am very happy for you, though I'll be missing you but it's okay ...... actually it's the best you know, you both will get a chance to know each other very well .....

You'll have no interruptions from family members during your romance time ..... him sneaking into kitchen while you're cooking, you stealing glances at him while he was working out, your eye-locks & ..... I didn't let Tridha continue further

Stop it Tridhu ...... I said while hitting her

Let me tell you in detail how we met & what's happening here ...

Yesterday night I messaged her saying that me & Neil are moving to US for his project ..... & within a second she called me & asked me to meet her, the very next day at our favourite place .... The coffee shop ..... & I said okay ....

That's how we ended up here ..... I told her about the thoughts that are going in my mind since yesterday ..... well I can share anything with her & I know she never judges me .......

As soon as she heard my thoughts she started laughing & it continued till I hit her on her shoulder ...... after that she started telling the advantages of me being alone with my husband ......

What Avi, am saying the truth ...... you know right the initial months of marriage are very important especially if it's arranged ..... you both should get to know each other & for that you should spend some time ....

You've to work on your bonding, trust, etc .... there are many other things which needs to be taken care ..... So for that this is best opportunity ..... don't you think this is right babe ? ... I heard her say while raising her eye brows

After listening to Tridha's words, I guess it's indeed a best opportunity ...... will get maximum time to spend with each other ......

Avi, have you already started thinking what to do when you both are alone ? ...... I heard her say while winking at me

Shut up Tridhu ...... I said while hitting her

Acha okay let's have some coffee & then will leave ..... I heard her say

As you wish Mam ...... I said while smiling at her

Oh my god Avni is that you, it's been so long I haven't seen you ..... I must say you've changed a lot ...... I heard someone's voice

Turning in that direction I was shocked to see that person ..... the person whom I never wanted to see in my life, is standing infront of me & grinning like a fool .......

to be continued ......

It's the end of 10th chap
