Third pov:

Aashna felt her nerves rise and her hands turned cold when she saw Keart Gill walking towards her and Shubman.

Shubman protectively held her hand tightly in his hand and as much as that could have helped. It didn't at the moment.

She came closer and stood in front of them. Aashna took a deep breath and bent down to quickly touch her feet.

"Mummy isse pehle aap isse kuchh bolo-" "Bahar nhi, andar jaake baat karte he." She said and gestured them both to follow her.

They both looked at each other for a split second before walking behind her.

She took them to an empty room with a double bed in the middle.

"Yeh kamra tum dono ke liye sahi he ya fir isse separate room chahiye?" She said.

This mixed statement made Aashna wonder if she was happy or not?

"Nhi ham dono....ek hi me ruk jayenge.....haina Aashu?" Shubman said looking at her.

She just nodded side to side.

"Theek he, sab dhundh rahe the tujhe kal.....pucch rahe the kahan he kaka...bohot excited he tujhse milne ke liye.....jaldi se change karlo dono....tum logon se baat karni he mujhe."

They nodded as Keart walked out of the room leaving them alone.

"Ummm....yeh kya tha Shub?" Aashna asked him locking the door.

"Even I don't know.....pta nhi overacting kese nhi kari aaj mummy ne?" He breathed out.

"Don't talk like that yaar, she's your mumma!" Aashna scolded Shubman.

Shubman wondered how is it possible to fall in love with her more than he is?

But every time something happens, he definitely finds himself falling more and more into her.

He smiled on her comment and hugged her tightly locking her arms as well.

"Ok....?" She said and he pulled apart.

She walked over to her luggage bad and took out her clothes.

She paused for a moment looking at Shubman.

"You can have the washroom, I'll change in the room." He said kissing her forehead.

She went into the washroom and washed her hands, feet and face and changed into the light pink suit.

Did very light makeup and peeked out of the bathroom after finishing to see if Shubman was sober.

It's not that intimacy was uncomfortable. But it was just foreign to their relationship. Not having introduced to such things yet.

He was standing and fixing his hair in front of the mirror.

Aashna felt a strike of love while watching Shubman and went over to hug him warmly from behind.

He held her one hand over his chest and turned to look at her after finishing his attire and smiled as he took in her form holding her at an arm's distance.

Wearing no heels made her much shorter than him and as far as Aashna could remember, it was probably the first time she had dressed up for Shubman in no heels.

"I think you should call your mom to talk...yk....sort things out?" She said making him sigh.

"Why can't you let me enjoy one moment without having to interrupt with something important?" He said making Aashna frown a bit.

He took out his phone and called Shahneel's number.

"Hello...Di? Ham log yahan aa gaye he...nhi ham already ek room me he, tu wahin aa ja....haan I'll tell you everything, don't worry, everything's fine, yeah, she's right here. Sun! Mummy ko leke aa ja, please...ok....ok...theek he." He hung up while Aashna looked at him with wide eyes.

"They'll be here, mene Shahneel se bol diya he..." He said.

"I'm scared shub....kya pta pichli baar ki tarah-" He silenced her by placing a strong kiss to her anxious lips.

"I'm with you, and nothing will happen this time, I'll make sure of it, alright?!" He said....making her think that he was here the last time too...and everyone knows what happened...but she chose to keep quiet, avoiding an unnecessary argument where they should be supporting each other.

A knock interrupted her thoughts as Shubman went to unlock the door after looking into her eyes for a split second.

She stood up straight from slouching.

Entered in were Shahneel and Keart.

Keart walked over to the couch in the room. Shubman followed her along with Shahneel.

"Aa jao tum dono, beth ke baat karte he." Keart said sternly, looking at Aashna.

Aashna walked towards the couch and sat down on one without saying a word.

Shubman came to sit down just beside her.

Shahneel too sat down, thinking that she would control things if something went wrong this time.

"Me tumhe accept karne ke liye ready hoon, tu shaadi karna chahta he isse? Theek he, maani teri baat. Lekin aaj ke baad hame ese achanak se chhod ke kabhi mat jaana! Samjha? Itna darr gyi thi me, kucch pta he tujhe?" Keart said making Aashna feel bad for stopping Shubman to stay with her.

Shubman and Aashna looked at each other in amazement.

"Tha-thank you meri mummy!! Thank you so so so much, thank you!!" Shubman said getting up and sitting on the hand of the couch hugging his mom tightly and kissing her cheek.

"Chalo ab tum dono, bahar sab wait kar rhe he tera, aur Aashna ko bhi mila denge sab se." Keart said and got up along with everyone else.

"Aunty! Can I talk to you for a second?" Aashna said catching up with Keart making her stop.

"Please!" She pleaded with her eyes.

"Hmm...bolo?" Keart said.

"Ese nhi, in private, Shubman please!" She said as Shubman opened his mouth to say something.

He nodded with light lips and moved out of the room pulling Shahneel with him.

Aashna closed the door and turned to Keart, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you Aunty, thank you so much...aapko nhi pta ki aapne mere upar kitna bada ehsaan kiya he....me aapko jitna thank you bolungi utna kam he!" She said pulling apart.

"Mujhe thank you mat kaho...mene sab kuchh apne bete ke liye kiya he, tumhare liye nhi. Agar usko kuchh ho jata toh me....." She trailed off.

"Accept hi kiya he mene tumhe sirf, kaka ki wife ban sakti ho tum, lekin mere ghar ki bahu nhi." Keart said.

"Aap jo bhi bolo, thank you so much! Ab toh me aapki family ka part ban hi jaungi! Aur mere liye sabse important family ko ek saath rakhna he, par Shubman se shaadi ke liye aap maan gyi, ye hi mere liye bohot zyada badi baat he!" Aashna said ignoring the negativity but her body betrayed her by bringing tears to her eyes.

No matter how happy she was by her saying yes but that void of a sweet in-laws home cannot be filled. She wanted it all, to be Shubman's wife and to be a good daughter-in-law to his parents.

To have the mother that she never had before.

She got rid of the tears and went outside to join Shubman who placed a hand on her back, raising his eyebrows in concern.

Aashna waited till Keart was out of sight, then wrapped her arms around Shubman's neck and kissed his cheek.

"Everything's alright, now let's go!" She said making Shubman smile and nod with raised eyebrows.

They went outside hand in hand and they were accompanied by Shahneel who locked one of her arms with Aashna's.

"Di, yahan par itne saare log he, how will I know that kisse namaste karni he aur kiske per chhune he?" Aashna said.

"Uske liye ham log he to sahi! Aur Shubhi jisse jo karega, tu bhi wahi kar diyo, aur wese bhi shaadi ke baad kon mil rha he daily?" Shahneel said making Aashna hum in agreement.

Aashna gasped when saw shubman's nani sitting in a corner with some other women.

"Shub! Chalo na nani se mil ke aate he!!" She said excitedly and dragged him towards her.

All three of them went towards her.

Shubman and Aashna bent down to touch her feet at the same time and made eye contact as they did so.

"Khush raho puttar, khoob tarakki karo!" Nani said touching their heads.

"Nani, ek badhiya khabar laya sirf me! Mera vyaah ab isde naal hi rha si." Shubman said and Nani widened her eyes in amazement.

"Sachi gall dass! Yeh to bohot vadiya baat he! Me to pehle hi chah rhi thi ki yeh ho jaye, kinni soni kudi he je! Saath me bohot pyaare lagte ho dono! Rabba hamesha khush rakhe tumhe! Aur tu yeh dass ki kal pure din kahan tha tu? Menu dikhya nhi?" She scolded him.

"Arey Nani! Me Aashna nu lene gya si, Jaipur tak!" He said.

"Aacha? Toh ik vaari mujhse mil ke chala jaata? Teri shakal kabhi kabhi dekhan nu milti he!" She said.

"Yeh gussa thi mujhse! Isko manane gya tha, warna abhi mere saath nhi hoti yeh!" He explained.

"Arey puttar, rishton me toh nok jhok chalti hi rehti he, par usse pura rishta kharaab thodi na karte? Ab tum dono ese ladte rahoge toh me tumhare bacche kese dekh paungi? Ab bss vyah ke baad turant shuru ho jaana dono, pehle hi mahine khush khabri mil jaani chahiye menu, me kucch nhi jaanti!" She said and Aashna laughed nervously.

"Haan Nani, zarur, aapko zarur mil jayegi khush khabri!" Shubman said snickering quietly, making Aashna's mind wander to the freaky stuff that they have yet to do.

After that, they met a lot of people and almost everyone commented that how pretty Aashna was, or her weight, or asked them when was the wedding. And very few of them asked about her education, which made her giddy with excitement to tell them about her education.

At night, the wedding took place, Aashna wore a light pink sharara set and to complement her, Shubman wore a white kurta.

After the varmala and the food and drinks, they returned to their room. They did not wait up for the pheras as it was only the adults and immediate family.

Although Shubman was the 1st cousin, he had his own priorities.

Aashna took off the jewellery and the makeup and changed into comfy pyjamas.

She dropped on top of Shubman after she walked over to the bed and Shubman opened his arms for her.

Shubman's bulky manly arms covered her small frame fully.

She looked up at Shubman and purred at him.

She touched his cheeks with her little hands and sat up to straddle him.

She bent down to place a chaste kiss to his lips and her hair fell on either side of him making a canopy.

As she was about to get up, Shubman locked his arm around her waist trapping her within them.

Aashna dropped again to Shubman's chest and Shubman held the back of her head to dip her down so he can kiss her deeply.

And he did, as soon as her lips touched his, he pushed his tongue out to lick her lips, making her do the same.

As she opened her mouth, he pushed his tongue inside her mouth and started to explore around inside.

Their mouths keep fighting for dominance until Shubman flipped them over and after a minute of doing so, Aashna felt breathless and pushed on his chest slightly but he refused to let go.

Being an athlete, he had the lung stamina to keep going. But that couldn't be compared to a person like her.

So with great difficulty, he finally pulled apart and found his heart melting, looking at the state of her.

Little beads of sweat decorated her hairline, her lips were red and swollen making them look more plumpy than usual, watery eyes, and the way her chest went up and down to catch her breath.

Shubman dipped in to peck her lips and hugged her snaking his hands under her and pulling her up by an inch to have full body contact with her.

She slowly scratched the back of his head and he felt that he could fall asleep just at that moment.

So he leaned to his right side and pushed his hand under her head.

She exhaled a deep breath and placed her head on his arm muscles with tired eyes.

"Shubman?" She said making him hum in response.

"What was that.....shaadi hote hi khush khabri mil jayegi and all? Huh?" She asked a bit sleepily.

"I was just teasing you." He said while giggling and Aashna slapped his chest lightly and smiled at his naivety.

"Jokes apart, I'm not having any babies till after our 1st anniversary!" Aashna said while Shubman delivered a sweet kiss to her head.

"Jab to Nani ko bohot problem ho jayegi! Aur shayad mujhe bhi!" He said and Aashna buried her head in his arm pit. Even though it was a bit smelly, she didn't mind.

"Seriously shub!" She said.

"Your body, your opinion, do whatever you want to do but just keep me updated, alright?" He said making Aashna felt proud of him to be able to think like a feminist.

"But babygirl! Baby hone ke liye jo hota he wo toh kar hi sakte he na?" He said in an innocent voice.

"Hamesha sirf ek hi cheez chalti he kya dimag me?" Aashna said snickering.

"But you should be happy! Because I think that way only for you!" He said.

"And I thank you for that." Aashna leaned up to kiss his cheek before saying goodbye to him and snuggling,once again against his bicep.
