Next Morning,
12am.

Priya's PoV

I smiled at Siya and Sid who were taking the blessings of elders before leaving for the ancestor temple.

Avinash was standing just beside and talking on his.... Yes, his love, his wife.. His Phone.

Siya came to me and hugged me tightly. 

"Say him that you love him before it's too late." She whispered in my ears to which I replied,"Enjoy and Be always happy with your hubby."

She smiled looking at me while Sid hugged Avinash and they bid their byes. 

"Avinash, Priya, You both are going on Amritsar tour right? You can leave now and take my driver or else it will be difficult to board the night flight." Rudra said and I hugged him.

"Make me massi of some cute munchkins and always be happy." I said to which he patted my head and replied,"Always be this smiling, angel." 

I nodded my head and hugged other members of Siya's family.

"Let's go, Onu. But all bags are taken right?" I asked him confirming. 

"Yes Priya. Everything is taken. We will visit some places and then will leave for Dehra." Avi said to which I nodded and we both sat inside the car.

"Where to go?" The driver asked and I looked at Avinash.

"Golden Temple, Bhaiya." He said to which I smiled enthusiastically.

Yassss! Like finally I will go there.

And too withAnvi.

It's a dream come true moment for me.

An hour later, 

We are finally standing in front of the Golden temple which is looking irresistibly beautiful.

I just can't wait to go inside.

"Let's go." Avinash said and we both started going inside. 

I took the chunni of my patiala and wore it on my head while Anurag kept his handkerchief on his head.

I saw the wide area of Golden Temple where there is water, some people were  bathing in it and in other corners there were fishes, like literally big ones!

There was a big line of worshippers, including us but there was not all inconvenience in line. 

We went inside the temple and it was so beautiful. 

Me and Anurag made our way to the water counters to wash our hands and legs, so that we can go inside the inner section of the temple. 

Getting there we kneeled down and prayed to wahe guru for the well being of everyone. 

After that we came out and I smiled at Avi.

"Thank you so much." I said, to which he nodded his head. 

"Now let us go and have some meals in langar." Avi said and I followed him looking around.

We came inside the langar and ate the meal which was given to us.

"Thank you, so so so much Avinash." I said as we came out from the temple area. 

He chuckled while hugging me back and whispered,"more fun on Ms. Sharma."

I smiled widely at him.

"Next Place?" I asked him and he looked at his watch.

"It's 3pm. Let's go to the Hall Bazaar." He said while I looked at him with wide eyes.

"You are one Internet gyaani baba, I tell you." I said to which he chuckled.

"It's nothing like that, I just checked everything at night." He said keeping his hand on his neck while I prayed good to keep him ever this happy.

"Here we come, Hall bazaar." I said we both sat in the car to go, hall bazaar.

Avinash's PoV

I looked at Priya while she was busy buying things for everyone.

"See this is so beautiful." She said I looked at the small hand bag she was starring. It was really beautiful!

"Go ahead and buy this." I said to which she pouted.

"But that one is beautiful too." She said and I face palmed. Sometimes she became a female version of me.

A house of confusion. 

"Priy, look and see there are many things. Buy whatever you want." I said and showed her various things which made contact with my eyes.

"This is beautiful. I will definitely buy this." Prerna said and bought some sandals while I saw something which she would like a lot.

I went to the shopkeeper and bought it with a smile.

"She would love it." An old woman said to me, making me smile widely.

I hope she will.

I went back where Priya was and stood behind her. 

"Done with shopping?" I asked to which she hummed.

"It's soon to be five. Let's go to our last destination." I said to her and she nodded her head after which we left the shop.

After keeping all the bags inside, I sat beside.

"Bhaiya, Ram Bagh Gardens." I said to the driver and he nodded his head.

"You know today I shopped so much. I never did this much shopping in life ever." Priya exclaimed and I gave her the water bottle.

"Take this." She nodded her head and drank the water. 

"So, ma'am rudra said you have helped her a lot. How?" I questioned her to which she grinned.

"Well me and Siya has a great part in Rudra and Hafsah's love story. You know Hafsu is our close friend first then his wife. It was so fun to watch them." She said and I nodded my head for her to continue.

"So, when Rudra used to throw his jokes and everyone used to laugh, hafsu used to glare at him. He was always funny and she was always serious. It was me and Siya who played the cupid, and sent them on dates." Prerna said and continued telling me the story to which I listened curiously. 

"Mam and Sir, We are here." The driver said and we came out from car.

"Avi, it's getting boring here." Priya said, as we are now walking from 15 minutes. 

I looked around and saw we are in one of the corner parts of the garden and no one is around.

This is the time Avinash! You can do it!

"Priya, You are looking gorgeous today." I said and felt kicking, myself.

This wasn't what I was supposed to tell.

"What?" She questioned me and I looked at her and took a deep breath.

"Don't kill me, I am bad at this." I said and sat down on my knees.

Guess what? I am becoming cheesy too.

"You know, Priya the first time I met you was the day.... I don't remember sorry. But after years, I met a month back. I came with the motto to work, work and only work." 

"But you changed my views. I started roaming around and did the things I never thought I will. You know, You have changed me. I am not the same workaholic Avinash Banerjee, I am learning to live and enjoy life taking away my regrets and it's all because of you." I said and looked at her who was looking at me shocked. I took out the gift I bought for her from the shop and smiled.

"This changed, Avinash wants to change more and grow more with Priya Sharma on his side. So, Prerna Sharma no, I am not asking to marry you but I want to say I Love You. So damn much." I finally said and got up from my position. My knees!

"You don't have to say back. Just accept this." I said and put the gift in front of her. 

She looked at me with glassy eyes and now I am feeling I did a mistake.

Shit! She doesn't love me.

I was about to take the gift back but prerna took the gift from my hand and hugged me tightly.

"I Love you too." She said and I felt if all gods and stars are on my side today.

I hugged her back tightly and after some time I felt her from my arm. 

"I--" priya said and looked at her questioning. 

"You?" I asked and she looked at me and asked,"Do you know what we do after proposing?"

I think I know! But I am not sure I should do that. 

Feeling her gaze towards me I looked at her and she looked down. 

I moved close towards her very slowly and she again looked at me. 

It is the time!

I thought and collided her lips with mine. 

I sucked her bottom lips, holding her by her waist close to me while she moaned.

I kissed her slowly as if she was glass doll who would break by pressure and after some time I left her lips breathing heavily.

I looked at her while she was looking down. 

There was a warming silence around us for a while and then suddenly my phone started buzzing.

Oh god! Nooo. 

I looked at it and saw it was a.call from Naisha and accepted the call immediately. 

"Avii… Bring priya and keep the phone speaker." She said and face palmed myself.

"Done" I said after doing what she said and her giggle.

"Guysss!! Guess what? My team won the competition." She shouted to which priya smilled.

"Congratulations Naishu. Come fastbsack to dehra we will party." She said to which I nodded my head. 

"Yess... Yess.. I will till noon." She sat and we cut the call. 

"So, Ms. Tomboy Sharma, will you be my girlfriend?" I asked her, to which blushed.

"Yess, Mr. Chubby Banerjee." She replied and I hugged her tightly.

"Onu, let's go to the airport, it's time for flight." Priya said to which I nodded my head. 

"Let's go together." I replied and we both left for the airport.
