Finally after two days they kept their engagement to give name to their relationship and decided a date for wedding and other functions. Special date is after two months.

Two months later.

In these two months they went for a date for 3 or 4 times. They came together to the mall during the shopping times and  that day come to end with a dropping at home, saying good night wish. Their friendship grown-up within times but their is no any sign of love or to say  both are hiding it with eachother.

Then the day has came both entered to life by promising to eachother. Now she legally wedded by the great business tycoon Neil Khanna. He came to his room with nervous step. Today is the first day he is going to share his everything with her. He is mature still doesn't know how to proceed. There he saw his bride on his bride on his bed with a comfortable cloth waiting for him. When he saw her like this he also thought it's better to change.  Its too heavy and of course his mom's  choice.

Neil- (clearing his throat)  Hey Avni give me few minutes I'll change and come. 

Avni nod, she is waiting for him. Its her first night as a wife with her husband. She read many fairy tales about this night. She doesn't know how was going to be her, as it's a arrange marraige. Still there isn't love, so there won't be any romance. But anyone can turn to be romantic seeing  the room decor.

Avni is getting nervous as Neil sat beside her.

Thank you Avni muttered.

Avni this is for you, Neil handover the box.

What is this,

Its was  beautiful chain with "u " letter.

"U" Avni Asked confusingly

Yah, it means "U or US"  you can think how ever you want.

Its perfect Avni confess excitingly

She nod her head.  Neil made her wear that. While his fingers brushed against her neck, it felt goose dump in her body.

Now its beautiful Neil said she smiled in shyness.

'Will you be comfortable by taking our relationship next level. Will you give me permit to make you mine' he asked  genuinely.

She can feel his intense gaze on her. She shyly smiled and nodded. He kissed her forehead and then looked at her lips tracing it.  He made her lay down was leaned forward........

He was slowly handled the situation took things forward like she is precious to him and images slowly goes outside the balcony to the moon where its blushing as the two souls become one. The one barrier broke between them and they are now soul mate.

First morning with new identity,  with new feel,  Avni who got ready first and saw her life sleeping with a cute little pout. May be he felt he misses her warmth,

Today is beautiful different day for her. She knows she started to love her man. Yesterday she gave everything to him without any double mind, and she saw his love in his orbs. She saw his care but now knowing him made her feel like she saw stranger. Suddenly she felt shy remembering yesterday night. She smiled to herself.

She arranged everything he needed and went out.  There are welcomed by lods of teasing looks and words. Neil wake up and found his things on couch.  A little cute smile came to his face knowing who did that. He is leading to his la la land, yesterday flashed in to his mind. Both aware this is arranged marriage but in secret, for them its love marriage also. He is falling for Avni and he little aware Avni  love him so both are loving without confession. With their hide and seek love game first few days went.

Day into month,  month into months flew away.  Oneday she gave the precious gift for their first month anniversary to him and to their family members. It is they are going to be parents. Same night Avni is arranging the bed, Neil doing his work.

That moment Neil lost all his words. He want to make her feel special, she gave a precious gift, he want to show his love, he wanted forgot everything leaving them. He thought he will worship her like other husband didn't  to their wife. Slowly both entered to blissful moment forgetting all. Happy one month anniversary both said in union.

Next day they informed their family members. They wish them and all are out of happiness.

It turned other months, now Avni in her 5th month, baby bump is little visible to world. When they informed about new arrival from that day swetha pampered Avni lot. Once Avni is out of her room khanna ladies are in line to take care of Avni. Even if Neil want go near his wifey swetha is not allowing to him. He can stay only in his room freely.

Avni's craving and demands are very tough for our tillu but he can do anything for his wife without any word. One day night Neil is working on his important presentation, suddenly

Avni- Neil i wanna go to beach

Neil- (suprised) now you wanna go

Avni- yah now come lets go plz

How could  deny his love, so he kept all his work and left. After good two hours they came. Swetha took Avni with her at doorstep. Neil directly went to room, after getting fresh up  he lay down and wait for Avni. She found Neil is sleeping in uncomfortable position. She help him to sleep properly and saw his laptop. It was same like when they left.

She felt guilty,  bcz of her he left all his work. She fell for him day by day. She cares his hair and stare at him and sleep took over her.

Next day he completely forgot about the presentation and directly came to conference hall. All  other business partners already there and only wanted to start.
