Sandhya Pov

I can't express how good I am feeling right now after watching happiness in the eyes of all my loved ones.

Three years ago I made a decision which had ruined their happiness and today my another decision has healed their hearts specially Akash's. He is continuously grinning in happiness and watching his smiling face is a treat to my eyes. My Akash's charming smile is back on his face.

I stared at him adoringly. He felt my gaze on him and looked at me with same adoration. He raised his eyebrow questioningly. I shook my head and smiled shyly. He smirked suspiciously on my reaction which increased the intensity of my shyness and I lowered my head.

Neha grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the mehndi artist. She made me sit down beside Sonia who is already getting mehndi applied on her hands by another mehndi artist.

"Wow! Twinny I am impressed. I never thought my sister could be so romantic.", Sonia wishpered teasingly and bumped her shoulder with mine.

I blushed shyly after hearing her comment while she giggled looking at my flushed face.

Mehndi artist gestured me to forward my hand and I obeyed her. She started making various different patterns on my palm.

I felt someone's gaze on me and roamed my eyes suspiciously. I found my husband standing in the corner of the hall and looking at me adorably.

I raised my eyebrows questioningly. He pointed towards the exit of the hall and gestured me to come out.

I looked at the mehndi artist who is applying mehndi on my palm and realised that I can't go out.

I looked at him and shook my head in denial. He rolled out his lower lip sadly and pouted pleadingly.

Oh God! He is looking so cute I just want to pull his cheeks.

I turn my head left and right and noticed that everyone is busy in their own world.

If I try then I might be able to get out of here successfully. Okay! Let's try Adhya for your cutepie hubby. Huh! Whom I am trying to fool? The reality is I also want to go and be with him.

"Didi (Sister) just a minute. I will be back soon.", I said to my mehndi artist and stood up.

Akash's eyes lit up after watching me getting up from my seat. He rushed towards the exit and I followed his lead.

The moment I came out of the hall I spotted my husband and move towards him.

"What's it Akash? Why....", He didn't let me finish my query, grabbed my wrist and pulled me for a tight hug.

My eyes became wide because of his sudden action.

"Akash someone will see us.", I said scaredly.

"So what? Let them see. I am hugging my own wife not somebody's else.", He said and I chuckled.

"You have no idea Tittly. How eager I was just to hold you like this.", He said while swaying us a bit.

I closed my eyes, inhaled deeply and drowned myself into his warmth. I adjusted my head on his shoulder more comfortably. I desperately want to lock my fingers around him but I can't because of my mehndi.

"I love you baby. I promise I won't let you go away from me ever.", He said hoarsely which means he is crying.

My body stiffened after hearing his hoarse voice. I don't want him to cry anymore because of me.

"Akash!", I called him sweetly.

"Hmmm!", He hummed sadly.

"Please don't cry.", I pleaded.

"Hmmm!", He again hummed sadly.

"I will never leave you Akash. If in future you will make any mistake then I will make you realise by staying beside you. This time I won't leave you baby. I promise.", I said.

"You know! I came here last night to meet you and Sonia informed me you are not here. She said you went somewhere.", He tightens his hold around me.

"I became so scared Tittly. I thought you again left me alone. I thought I I lost you once again.", He said.

I felt his pain when he said those words and by the way he tightens his grip after every word. My eyes also got welled up but it's not the right time to cry. I have my own cry baby to console first.

"Look at me Akash.", I said softly.

He wiped his tears and looked at me. His lips are pouted so cutely just like a kid and his nose has turned red because of crying.

I lifted myself up by curling up my toes and pecked the tip of his red nose.

"You are looking so cute specially your nose. I genuinely want to eat them.", I teased him and pecked his nose once again. He giggled on my statement which indicates that my trick worked.

"That's like my boy.", I complimented his smile enthusiastically.

He kept his palms on my cheeks and stared deeply into my eyes as if he is observing every inch of it.

"I can't believe all this is real.", He said while looking at my face.

"I am still scared that I will open my eyes and you will vanished like an illusion.", He voiced his anxiety.

"Then don't open your eyes and stay in this illusion with me forever.", I said while looking deeply into his eyes.

He wandered his eye balls between my eyes and lips and stared leaning closer. I closed my eyes in anticipation.

"Ahem! Ahem! Are you both done with living in your illusion?", Mami enquired.

I startled hearing her voice and jerked away from Akash but he kept his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer.

I looked at Mami. She smirked teasingly. I blushed shyly and lowered my head.

"Your mehendi artists is waiting for you Sannu.", She informed me.

I tried to go but Akash didn't let me and tightens his hold around my shoulder.

I lifted my head and looked at him questioningly. He smirked mischievously and said innocently,

"Go Tittly your mehendi artist is waiting for you."

My eyes became wide in shock. Very smart! He himself is not letting me go and acting innocent infront of Mami. I pressed my lips together and jerked away his hand from my shoulder. I glared at him angrily and went inside.

After sometime Sonia's cousins started dancing on various bollywood songs which is specially meant for mehendi functions. Everyone enjoyed their performance and clapped for them.

I noticed Akash and Satvik hopped up on the stage. I looked at them confusedly. Akash winked at me and whistle loudly as if he gestured someone to play the music.

Both Satvik and Akash danced on the song 'Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna' from the iconic movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ). I enjoyed their performance. All the time Akash's eyes were only on me.

I looked at my hands which were beautifully painted with mehndi. I felt so overwhelmed. I am glad I decided to come back or else I would have missed all these happiness. My vision got blurred because of the tears of happiness.

I felt someone's presence beside me and turn my head to see who is it? It's Dad.

"Dad", I said and the tears rolled down my cheeks.

He wiped my tears and shook his head gesturing me not to cry.

"The days of weeping are over Adhya now it's time to smile.", He said.

"I am not crying Dad.", I said hoarsely.

He side hugged me and kissed my head lovingly.

"I can understand how you must be feeling right now. I felt the same way when I had proposed your mother. You know what she did..." And he began describing his proposal story which I had already heard around thousand times from him.

"Not again Dad please.", I pleaded and he giggled on my expression.

I know he did that intentionally to cheer up my mood. It's not like I don't like hearing it I really love their story. I found it very interesting how dad found Mom and fall in love with her in the first sight but Mom having heavy trust issue didn't accepted his proposal then Dad eloped just like me to made mom realise his worth and his plan worked. Their proposal part is very funny. If you all want to know further about them then go and read "Arrange Marriage or Love Marriage?" Written by Prisha Agarwal. If I will say anything else! then it will be called as spoiler.

Dad's cellphone started ringing he excused himself and went to attend the call. I waited for my mehndi to get dry.

Because of sitting in the same position my legs started hurting. I stood up and jerked my legs to ease the blood circulation.

I roamed around my eyes in search of my dear husband but he is nowhere to be seen. Where did he go? I pouted sadly because of his absence.

I remember there is a balcony attached with this hall and I guess nobody knows about that place. So, I thought to have some peace and started going towards the balcony. The wind will also help my mehndi to get dry soon.

I entered the balcony and my eyes became wide after encountering the scene going there.

Oops! Wrong decision! Shit! Satvik and Sonia are already here and eating each others mouth hungrily. I shut my eyes instantly.

"Sorry guys! Please get yourself a room. Oh God! My poor virgin eyes.", I said.

I turn around abruptly and started walking away as fast as possible. I spotted Neha and went towards her.

"What happened Di? Your expression seems like you just say a ghost.", She said.

"Yeah! Two horny ghosts.", I mumbled.

"Huh! What did you say?", She enquired.

I remembered Sonia's word when she told me about how Satvik got rid of Neha 'You should have seen her expression it was beyond funny as if she saw some ghost.' That's what happened with me today. Now I can clearly imagine Neha's expression. Oh God! I bursted out laughing hard.

Neha looked at me weirdly and raised his eyebrows questioningly. I laughed nervously and said,

"Nothing Neha. I will see you later."

Oh God! It was hilarious. I again sat down on the same place where I was sitting before while laughing madly.

I saw Karan Mamu feeding Riya Mami with his own hands and my stomach started growling making me realise that I am also hungry but the sad part is I can't eat anything because of my mehndi filled hands. I pouted my lips sadly and waited for my hands to get dried soon.

I roamed around my eyes feeling bored and also to divert my mind from my hungry state.

Suddenly my eyes landed on someone entering inside the hall and my lips curled up in a wide U. Any guess guys?

Yes, it's my husband along with a plate full of food. Yeah!

"Hungry?", He enquired and I nodded my head up and down instantly.

He chuckled on my eagerness, pulled a chair and sat down infront of me.

"I am also hungry.", He wishpered huskily close to my ear.

I blushed shyly understanding his double meaning very clearly but covered up with my innocent expression and said,

"Then eat it. Who is stopping you?"

He tore a morsel and brought it infront of my mouth.

"First you eat then I will eat what's mine.", He said and winked.

Me heart fluttered on his comment. I bite my lips to control myself from blushing and stared at the morsel.

"Open your mouth wifey.", Akash said.

I obeyed him like an obedient kid and eat silently. After feeding me he wiped the excess food from my lips using his thumb. The moment his thumb made contact with my lips my heart started beating wildly. He stared deep into my eyes and leaked his thumb without breaking our eye contact. Heat rose up towards my cheeks and I blushed miserably. I diverted my eyes from him and looked here and there shyly.

He stood up from his chair. I also lifted up my head to look at him. I realised that he is leaning towards me. I looked here and there bewilderedly not understanding how to react? He kept his hand on my shoulder and I jerked up nervously.

"Will see you later sweetheart.", He wishpered sensually on my ear and went away leaving me panting heavily.

Oh God! I am a breathing mess. Just his words has such effect on me. I don't know how I will react when he will actually do something touchy.
