Agastya was sitting on the sofa and drinking alcohol while thinking about the things that happened some moments ago. On one hand he was feeling guilty realising that maybe he went too fast with her which he should have not. He should have not let his desires overpower him. But on the other hand, he was also upset with Sukoon thinking that she didn't trust him enough. They were engaged and going to marry soon. So having physical relationship should not be a big deal for them. Also she told him that she loved him. Then why wasn't she allowing to him make love to her?

Agastya sighed and finished his glass. He was not an addict now. But sometime it was needed to refresh his mind.

Suddenly his phone started ringing. He took it and recieved the call.

"Agastya I'm so so sorry. Mujhe paata hai tu abhi bohut busy hai aur mera tum dono ko disturb karne ka koi intention nahi tha. Bas ek problem ho gayi hai iss hi liye iss waqt tujhe call kiya." Said Farah immediately.

Agastya gave a slight smile and said, "Sorry kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Tune koi disturb nahi kiya. Problem kya hai woh baata."

"It's just I'm not getting the keys of my apartment. Tu zara dekh na, kahi main tere ghar keys bhul toh nahi aayi."

"Wait main check karta hoon." He said standing up. He started checking the living area. Suddenly he found it under the centre table.

"Mil gayi. Neeche gir gayi thi." He said.

Farah sighed and said, "Thank God! Ruk main lene aati hoon."

Saying that Farah hanged up.

After sometime...

Farah entered Agastya's house as he already kept the door opened. As soon as Farah came, Agastya returned her keys.

"Once again sorry yaar. Tum dono ka special moment maine spoil kar diya." She said apologising.

"Special moment!" Uttered Agastya and gave a sarcastic smile. Then he poured some more alcohol in his glass.

Farah now noticed it and asked, "Tu yaaha baith ke beer pee raha hai? Aur Sukoon kidhar hai?"

"Andar so rahi hai." He replied.

"Aur tumhare special date ka kya?"

"It ended."

Farah understood that there was something wrong. She sat beside Agastya and asked, "What happened? You are looking upset."

"Nahi yaar, main thik hoon. Bas kaam ka stress hai." He replied.

"Yaar stress dur karne ke liye hi toh aaj ka date plan kiya tha humne. Upar se maine tere bedroom mein kitna accha decoration....."

Farah suddenly realised something and asked, "Uss chiz ko le ke koi problem hui hai kya?"

Agastya understood that there was no need of hiding anything from her.

He nodded in yes and said, "She is.... Not ready for it. Hum flow flow mein kuch zyada hi aage badh gaye the when she stopped me."

"Shit! Meri hi galti hai. Maine bed decorate karte waqt itna socha nahi. Mujhe laga abhi tak tum dono ke beech sab kuch hogaya hoga, jaisa normal couples mein hota hai."

"Hota toh hai. Par sayad woh mujhe abhi tak puri tarah se trust nahi kar paayi. Isliye abhi bhi itna hesitation hai uss mein."

"Don't think like that." Said Farah. "Woh agar tujhpe trust nahi karti toh apna sab kuch chhor ke, apne comfort zone se bahar nikal ke, idhar Mumbai mein nahi aati. Tum dono Delhi mein mile, tu uske old age home mein jaa ke raha aur udhar hi tum dono ko pyaar hua. Aisa nahi hai ki woh tujhe bohut pehle se jaanti hai. Phir bhi usne tujhse shaadi karne ka faisla liya. Ek anjaan seher mein, tere hi ghar mein tere saath reh rahi hai. Why? Because she trust you man."

"I know Farah but... If she trusts me so much then why can't she trust me with this? Lovers ke beech toh yeh common hota hai."

"Baat yaaha trust ki nahi hai. You have to understand her side. Uske liye yeh bohut badi baat hai Agastya. You know her. She is too naive. Kaise chhoti chhoti baat pe woh sharma jaati hai yeh hum sabne dekha hai. Woh aaj kaal ki ladkiyon ki tarah bold nahi hai. Aur toh aur...."

Farah paused for a while and said, "Sayad yeh baat sun ne mein thoda ajeeb lage but the fact is, tere liye yeh sab kuch naya nahi hai. You have experienced this before. Lekin uske liye yeh sab kuch bohut hi naya hai. Pehle uska kabhi kisi ke saath relation nahi raha. Her first love, first kiss, first touch, sab kuch tu hi hai. So she needs time to take things to the other level. You have to give her the time. Tujhe sab kuch slowly karna hoga Agastya. Uske saath quality time spend kar, chill kar, baatein share kar, usse apne around itna comfortable kar de ki uske andar koi hesitation rahe hi na. Woh khud hi tujhe apne kareeb aane ke liye kahe. Till then, you have to wait."

After hearing Farah's words, Agastya realised where he was going wrong. He didn't try to think from her side. If he wanted to be her first, he had to give the efforts. He couldn't be upset with her just for this reason. Rather he should respect her decision and wait till she becomes ready.

"You are right Farah." Said Agastya finally. "Sukoon ki iss mein koi galti nahi hai. Maybe maine hi chizo ko zyada complicated tarah se dekh liya. How can I forget that I love her? She is not one of those physical attractions or flings which I had before. It's pure love. And I'll wait for her, no matter how much time she takes."

Farah smiled hearing that.

"I'm glad that you understood." She said.

"Thanks for making me understand. Sach mein, main na kabhi kabhi bohut zyada immaturely behave karta hoon. Tere jaisi ek mature bestfriend nahi hoti, toh paata nahi mera kya hota."

"Chal be! Dramebaaz!" Said Farah laughing and slightly punched his bicep.

"But seriously.... Thank you." Said Agastya and side-hugged Farah.

Then they bid each other goodbye and Farah left. As soon as she left, Agastya went to his room. He noticed that Sukoon didn't sleep yet. She was standing near the window and continuosly wiping her tears.

Agastya went to her and kept his hand on her shoulder. Sukoon immediately turned to him and hugged him tightly. She burst into tears.

"Aga..stya.... Mujhe... Maaf kar.... do.... Maine.... Sab kuch..... kharab kar diya.... Main bohut.... Ghabra gayi thi.... I didn't... Mean to... Hurt you..." She said while sobbing. It made Agastya feel more guilty. He rubbed her back while his own eyes also became teary.

"Ssshhh! Kuch nahi hua hai Sukoon. Tumne koi galti nahi kiyi. Sab thik hai." He said calming her down.

After sometime she stopped sobbing. Agastya then broke the hug and cupped her face.

"Maafi toh mujhe maangni chahiye. Main tumhe yaaha akela chhor ke chala gaya. I'm really sorry." He said.

"Lekin maine tumhe hurt kiya hai. Tumhe woh chahiye tha aur main...."

Before she could complete, Agastya said, "Mujhe sirf tumhara saath chahiye Sukoon. Aur woh toh mujhe mil hi raha hai. Yeah I wanted to make love to you but not without your consent. I promise aaj ke baad main kabhi tumhe iss chiz ke liye force nahi karunga. Hum agla step tab lenge jab tum puri tarah se ready ho jaaogi. Not before that."

"Matlab.... Tum naraz nahi ho?" She asked looking at him with innocent eyes.

"Main apni Baby se kabhi naraz ho sakta hoon?" He said making her chuckle with tears.

He felt relieved seeing her chuckle. He would never let it vanish. He then joined their foreheads and said closing his eyes, "I love you."

She closed her eyes as well and said, "I love you too."

They both hold each other's hands with a promise of never leaving them. They smiled feeling blessed to have each other in their life.

Oooo...
Baby, come stand by my side
Come and be my guiding light

After sometime he made her lie on the bed and himself lied beside her. Sukoon hugged him like a Baby while he caressed her hair to make her sleep.

Oooo... I'll be what you want me to be
I'll give all my love in whole of my life

In no time Sukoon fell asleep and Agastya kept staring at her while softly caressing her hair. He decided that from now he would handle her with more love and care so that she stopped thinking that he could ever leave her.

Soniyo, o soniyo
Tumhe dekhta hu to sochta hu bas yahi

He kissed her whole face and then smiled. She was such a cutie pie, his cutie pie.

Tum jo mera saath do, saare gham bhulake
Jee lu muskuraake zindagi

Soon he also fell asleep while hugging him close to her.

Next morning, they woke up and started a new day. Since morning Agastya didn't even talk about last night which won Sukoon's heart. She knew that some people leave their partners because of this reason but he was behaving like nothing happened. It made her fall for him harder.

Tu dede mera saath thaam le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat, tu bas de de mera saath

While Sukoon was making breakfast, Agastya came and said, "Chalo aaj main bhi tumhare saath breakfast banaunga."

"Tumhe aata hai?" Asked Sukoon.

"Nahi aata par.... tum sikha do."

Sukoon smiled and nodded.

They made the breakfast together while having a lot of fun. Agastya was doing mistakes in every step which was making Sukoon laugh. But at last he made the breakfast as she was with him.

Tu dede mera saath thaam le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat, tu bas de de mera saath

Later that day, Agastya came from the theatre and then took Sukoon to the shopping mall.

Sukoon was exploring the mall while Agastya was holding her waist possessively to let the world know that she was his.

I get this feeling now, I cannot wait no longer
I know your love will keep me happy
Will keep me stronger

Sukoon suddenly liked a dress but her face fell seeing the price tag.

"Pasand hai toh le lo." Said Agastya hugging her from behind.

"Nahi... Yeh dekho. Iska price kuch zyada nahi hai?" She said showing him the price.

"Zyada toh hai. Par tumse bohut kam." He said and she blushed.

I get this feeling now, I cannot live without you
I know your love's the only one so true

On the other hand, Rumi also came to the shopping mall with Ishaan. While seeing a dress, her eyes fell on Agastya who was hugging Sukoon from behind. She fisted her palm seeing it. Agastya was giving so much attention to his fiancee while her husband was not even looking at her. Taking her to shopping mall was only a duty for him.

During the whole shopping, Rumi stalked Agastya and Sukoon and became jealous seeing their bond. She couldn't understand why they were so happy and she was not happy at all.

After their shopping was done, Agastya and Sukoon were returning home. Agastya was carrying her bags with his both hands. Noticing it, Sukoon took the shopping bags from his one hand.

"Arrey main utha leta hoon." He said.

She smiled and kept his hand on her own waist.

"Dusre haath se tum chahe kuch bhi pakdo. Yeh ek haath mere liye humesha booked rehna chahiye." She said making him smile as well.

"As you wish." He said bowing his head down and she smacked his head lovingly.

Then they started walking like this.

Raho me, tanha hu saath le chal yu
Sang tere safar poora karu

Sukoon bought some things from the mall to decorate their house. One day she started doing that while Agastya kept looking at her with a smile. He could clearly see his happily married life with her where they would be together.

Raho me, tanha hu saath le chal yu
Sang tere safar poora karu

Sukoon was decorating their wall standing on a tool. Suddenly her toe tripped. She was about to fall but Agastya caught her in his arms and their eyes met.

Kya kahu ae zindagi
Tu hai meri saans, rehna tu paas har ghadi

"Accha hua tumne pakad liya. Nahi toh main gir jaati." She said after he kept her down.

She was about to move away but Agastya hold her hand and asked, "Aur pakad ne ka reward?"

Sukoon blushed understanding his double-meaning words. Nowadays she became smart enough to understand all this.

Without saying anything, she attached their lips and they kissed each other passionately.

Tu dede mera saath thaam le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat,
Tu bas de de mera saath,
Tu bas de de mera saath

Days passed and they were living happily with each other.

One day, they were in their house and talking to the people of Villa Of Love on video. They all went to see the rebuilding work and showing that to Sukoon and Agastya.

"Kaam toh bohut accha chal raha hai. Iska matlab kuch mahine ke andar humara Villa Of Love phir se pehle jaisa ban jayega?" Asked Sukoon excitedly.

"Bilkool." Said Anand Dadu. "Uske baad toh shaadi karoge na tum dono?"

"Kyu nahi karenge?" Said Agastya. "Maine toh decide kar hi liya hai. Humari shaadi hogi toh sirf Villa Of Love mein."

"Phir toh woh din dur nahi." Said Rekha Dadi.

"Waise tum dono Delhi kab aa rahe ho?" Asked Seema Dadi.

"Aaunga Dadi bas yeh play khatam ho jaaye. Uske baad hum dono kuch din Delhi aa ke rahenge. Mujhe aap ke haath ke laddo ki bohut yaad aa rahi hai."

"Accha? Sirf inki hi yaad aa rahi hai? Meri nahi aa rahi hai?" Asked Sheela Dadi showing fake anger.

"Aap ki toh sabse zyada aati hai. Khas kar ke aap ke yoga sessions aur flirting ki." Said Agastya.

"Flirting toh hum video call pe bhi kar sakte hai."

"Yeh toh hai. Rukiye main thoda side chala aa jaata hoon. Sukoon paas baithi hai, flirting nahi karne degi."

Saying that he took the phone from her hand and went away.

"Arrey main bhi toh baat kar rahi thi." Said Sukoon frowning.

"Baad mein karna." He said to which she nodded her head in disbelief.

Agastya started laughing while talking on video call and Sukoon smiled seeing it. After coming to Mumbai, he didn't change a bit. He was still the same with his family. With this, Sukoon's love for Agastya increased day by day.

One day they were sleeping peacefully. Agastya's sleep suddenly broke and he was about to get up when Sukoon hold him tightly and snuggled in his arms.

Tujh ko jo, paaya toh hai yeh lagta kyu
Baho me bas teri mehfooz hoon

"Baby subah ho gayi hai." He said kissing her cheeks.

"Thodi der aur... Please!" She said in a sleepy voice.

"Okay." He said pulling her more into him. Sukoon kissed his heart and again closed her eyes keeping her head on his chest. His arms were the place where she felt most protected.

Tujh ko jo, paaya to hai ye lagta kyu
Baho me bas teri mehfooz hoon

One day they were returning from a party of their friends. Agastya was little drunk and he was walking happily.

They were walking on an empty bridge when suddenly Agastya screamed facing towards the railings, "I LOVE YOU SUKOON!!! I LOVE YOU!!!"

Tum bano, saaya mera, zindagi mein aao
Zindagi bitaao bas yahi

Sukoon laughed seeing his craziness.
When he came back, she asked laughing, "Yeh kya tha?"

"Mujhe puri duniya ko baatana hai ki main tumse kitna pyaar karta hoon." He said and she looked at him with full of love.

"Tum try karogi?" He asked to which she nodded in no.

"Mujhe puri duniya ko baatane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Tum jaante ho na? Yeh hi kaafi hai."

Saying that she kissed his lips and then they continued walking holding hands.

Tu dede mera saath thaam le haath
Chahe jo bhi ho baat
Tu bas de de mera saath
Tu bas de de mera saath

While walking Sukoon kept her head on his shoulders and they both smiled thinking that they got everything in her life.

Baby, come stand by my side
Come and be my guiding light
Oooo... I'll be what you want me to be

But they were totally unaware of the upcoming storm where they could lose everything they got.
