Her eyes fluttered open and she yawned snuggling herself more into him. His warmth was so much comforting. She looked up at her sleeping husband who was holding her delicately yet possessively. His one hand was placed on her bare shoulder with his arm supporting her head while the other hand held her hand that was on his naked chest. A smile curved on her lips and she pulled herself up only to realize she was completely nude. She mustn't have realized when she dosed off in his arms after their love making. Her cheeks caught a pinkish color remembering their first kiss. It was soft yet so passionate. She felt a tingling in her stomach touching herself on the spots he did. Vibration went through her upper body feeling his touch there again, squeezing and biting and licking.

Yesterday night was a completely new experience for her and her body was still shivering replaying everything in her mind. But out of everything, the best of it was his confession. She knew it was the moment she couldn't resist him and gave in.

She took a deep breath to come out of her thoughts and got out of the bed moving the strings aside and covering herself with the sheet. But standing up on the floor, a tight tug stopped her at sudden.

A gasp was let out of her mouth and she slowly turned to see her smirking Laad Governor. There he was, holding the edge of the sheet and stopping her. His smirk as always set on his face. He was to drool over and his well maintained chest and biceps.

'No Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, behave yourself.' She closed her eyes and smacked herself in her mind for letting him take over her mind.

"Khushi" His husky voice was to kill. How could someone rude like him sound so melodious.

She peeped her eyes open one by one and widened them at sudden when he slid on her side to pull her on him.

She landed on his chest and he surrounded her waist with his one hand while the other one removed the hair strands off her face. It wasn't new to him that she started breathing heavily whenever he neared her. Also last night on their so-called Suhagraat and even now after that. And every time it has the same one effect on him. Her shyness always turns him on.

He couldn't help but smirk at his view. Her eyes closed, her hands on his chest still holding the sheet and she was completely lying on him, working as his quilt. She could feel him and it wreaked havoc in her body.

And there he titled his head down and placed a kiss on her cheek. While still having his gaze at this angel, he brought his lips on her other cheek that was as red the other due shyness and rubbed his lips there.

"A-A-Arnavji..." She could manage to call out his name hesitantly though her eyes were still closed.

He pulled his head back to see her slowly opening her eyes and looking into his dark eyes that showed so much love for her.

"I-I...I have to go...d-down." While she struggled to get these few words out, he couldn't help but chuckle. She will never change. And he also doesn't want her to change. She should stay like that. Sweet and shy.

He left her waist. Yesterday was their very first time and he knew she is new to all this. He have to be patient and understanding with her.

As soon as she couldn't feel the touch of his fingers on her waist, she stood up carefully without breaking the eye lock they were having but finally turned to run into the bathroom.

Just then she was again stopped by a pull. She gulped once taking a deep breath.

"Ar-navji...I-I am getting late..." She spoke without turning as she feared to get drown in his eyes.

"So..." He grinned.

"So...p-please let me go."

"I am not holding you." He was trying hard not to laugh.

There she turned and her mouth opened wide forming a 'O' shape. The sheet was tucked with the bed corner. She shut her mouth at once after seeing him suppressing his laughter and freed the sheet. And in no time he saw her running into the wash room with a crimson red face.

She took a shower and dried herself with a towel. But then she panicked realizing she had taken no clothes inside.

"Hey Devi Maiya, Buaji calls me right. Sanka devi! What should I do now?" She muttered to herself with her hand on her head.

"Arnavji..." She pondered if to call him or not. "No,...but, I don't have any other option either."

"Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, come one, call him." She took a deep breath and finally called him out.

"Arnavji."

He was wearing his track pyjama when he heard her calling him and neared the bathroom.

"Ya Khushi?"

"Can you..." She had to gather herself to ask him a simple thing. But it wasn't that simple either.

"Can you-...can you please go out?" That was not her planned question but it was better.

"Khushi, I am not going out. If you want something then tell or come out yourself. What's left for me not to see?" How could he leave this golden opportunity. He could make it out what she wanted. He was very well aware that she hadn't taken any clothes in.

She blushed but then hit herself on the head to focus on the main thing. "Please Arnavji, go na." She pleaded hoping he will listen and go but in vain.

"Khushi, I am not going. I said na, tell me if you want something. I will give you." He smirked emphasizing his last words.

"Laad Governor!" She muttered. "Can you give me a dress from the cupboard?"

He moved and brought out the first dress he saw. "I have it. Open the door and take it." Everything was having a double meaning out of nowhere now. But Khushi, being so naive couldn't understand the hidden sense in that. Instead she was having another problem. How could she ask him to give her also her underwears? She'd rather sink in the earth. But that too won't help now. She had to ask him. Anything else was not possible. He won't go out of the room and she can't go out like that. Even if he had seen her without clothes anyways, she was still too shy. "Arnavji..."

"Hmm?" He hummed still standing at the door and waiting for her to open the door.

"I...I...need something else also."

"What?"

"Erm...ac-actually...my-my...g-g..." She was stuck and didn't know how to speak out.

"What do you need?" He asked with frowned brows.

"Woh...g..ga..." How much she tried, the simple word didn't want to leave her mouth. She took another sip of breath to pull herself together. "I-I...I need s-s-something to..."

"Khushi, since when have you started stuttering?" He somehow had an idea why she was tongue-tied but teasing her was more fun.

Khushi's face fell as she wasn't able to ask him to hand her her undergarments, even now, after all that happend last night.

When there was no answer from her end, he showed mercy on this poor soul, his Khushi and asked her. "Where is it?"

"Where is what?" She questioned back confused.

"The thing you are hesitating to ask me. Your lingerie!" As soon as he spoke with a smirk, he could imagine her mouth hung wide open and her cheek turning red. And that was the case.

"Now tell!"

She instructed him tarring through her side of wardrobe and he chuckled choosing a red pair.

She opened the door hesitantly and carefully extended her arm out. "Arnavji, give me my clothes!"

"Let me help you wear them." He stood there and asked her casually as if it was his daily task.

"NO!" She replied immediately shattering his dreams.

"You sure?"

"Yes, now give me my clothes." She ordered waving her hand out in the air.

"Think again. Khushi. If you don't allow me help you wear them now, I surely will help you take them off, tonight."

She bit her lip getting in ponder about the upcoming night already. Her heart started beating fast already and she felt a shiver taking over. What is awaiting her? But not wanting to think about that, she again gestured him again to hand her her clothes now. "Arnavji please."

He thought he has troubled her enough and gave her the clothes without objection or any further teasing.

After getting ready finally, she came down wearing the pink Chudidaar with light make up and a blush as he had praised her saying, today, she looks more beautiful than usually. She directly made her way to the pooja hall where the other family members were already gathered together. She joined them folding her hands. Payal noticed the different glory and blush on her face and curiosity rose in her.

"Khushi, you are looking very happy today, what happened?" She whispered slowly as Aaarti was going on.

"Yesterday, Bhai was very happy and today Khushji, what is the matter?" Akash has heard Payal and peeped in their not fully began talk.

Khushi couldn't stop herself from getting a pinkish color on her face again and bent it low.

"Khushi bitiya..." Nani gestured her to come and pursue her right being the eldest daughter-in-law.

She stepped forward to do the Aarti passing Dadi and getting evil warning looks. She attempted to hold the smile yet gulped as her face fell.

Nani handed her the thaal and she started with the aarti. A glimpse of the small Radha-Kishen statue beside the large Devi Maiya and she was again reminded of yesterdays conversation.

'How can a marriage solemnized without nuptial rounds?'

'These seven nuptial rounds are the most important in a marriage.'

After the aarti, the Raizada daughter-in-laws went in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for their family. Khushi was still unable to let off the thought of their marriage being incomplete. But even the last night couldn't flash off her mind. She couldn't say she was regretting it, not at all. He loved her and she loved him. There was no reason to regret it. But only something that was disturbing her was their incomplete marriage. And now they have had Suhagraat without the nuptial rounds.

"Khushi" Payal shook her distracting her from her thoughts. She looked down at her gesture and realized she almost had cut her finger if Payal hadn't come.

"What happened? Where is your attention?" She curved her lips up forming a naughty smile.

"Jiji, what happens when Suhagraat happens before marriage?" A bewildered Khushi asked her elder sister for something that was confusing her. She was confusing her.

"Khushi, what has happened to you nowdays? Sometimes you are asking about Pheres, sometimes about Suhagraat and now this? Are you alright?"

"Di, just answer me na. What happens then?" Sanka devi was being impatient and pleading her sister for a reply.

"I don't know what happens then but don't you know Suhagraat before marriage is a sin?" Payal said getting back to her work and missing the anxious expression of her sibling.

"Sin?" She muttered the word for herself to make sure she heard it right.
