Thank you for the response! Really excited for you to read next, hope you get to imagine it exactly the way I did- only if I was the director or script writer!

  Make sure you comment and let me know what you expect them to do the night! 

As soon as Pihu closed the door, Prachi and Raghav looked nervously at the room, that once belonged to Prachi,  but now it was covered with flowers, scented candles, and a pretty white bedsheet.  Prachi took off her heels and sat on the edge of the bed. She timidly looked up at Raghav, who still stood by the door, with a small bag in his hand.  She tapped her hand on the spot next to her, indicating for him to come to sit. The mattress was softer than the one he was used to, they looked around them and she indicated, "Isn't this a little too much?"  

"They didn't get much time to plan!"  Raghav pointed.  She looked to the right towards him and gave him a shy smile, nodding her head in affirmation, biting her lower lip when her eyes met his.  She slid a little closer to him.  Taking his hand in hers, they were still warm. She took the opportunity to rest her head on his shoulder and sighed, that sukoon. As she played  with his fingers,  he questioned, "Are you happy?" 

Prachi looked at him, "Of course I am!  I am married to my best friend and my confidant, I am so happy today. Are you happy, Raghav?" 

"Pata hai Prachi, I have always dreamt of you, about my love for you, but I had never imagined that I would one day be married to you. Just two days ago, when you confessed that you love me, I cannot even express how happy I had become. "   He had tears in his eyes, "..I...I."he stuttered, as the tears fell on his cheeks.

 Prachi was quick to wipe them off. She straightened her back and looked him, right in the eyes, "Raghav, I am extremely sorry for everything you had to go through because of me!" She waited for his response, but he only nodded.  She looked into his eyes, and prompted herself up, leading her lips to a small tear on his cheeks.  Her plump lips kissed away the tear. She could feel his breath on her face,  she kissed him on the second cheek.  Taking support of her grip on his shoulders, she stretched to his forehead.  Slowly taking her lips to his nose, she contemplated if she should kiss him or not, but his eyes made her shy, she moved her right hand and closed his eyes lids,  leaving a small kiss on his forehead.  He smiled at the gesture.  She was barely a centimeter away from his lips when she pulled herself back and removed her hand from his eyes, "So I was saying..." she blushed. He blushed and looked at her to continue, " Let's start fresh," she scooted a little far, "Hello Mr. Raghav Arora!" she stretched her hand for a handshake. "I am  Prachi Kapoor. "

He took her hand,  and smiled at her, "Hello Mrs. Prachi Kapoor Arora, it's beautiful to meet my wife, finally!" She smiled at him as he gave her the first kiss on her hand.  Tears filled her eyes and she moved closer to him to tightly hug him. He responded to the embrace with a supportive hug around her.  Her lips brushed on the side of his neck. As they pulled away from the embrace, Prachi stopped right in front of his lips, she looked in his eyes, as if asking for one permission, he looked at her lips and she knew, he had given in to her request. And there it was, she leaned forward and closed the gap between their lips, her right hand on the back of his neck,  and the left hand on his shoulder to keep them in the right alignment, after all she was the shorter one.  Once her lips touched his, he closed his eyes, letting her guide them through it,  her strong grip on his neck allowed him to stay in sync with her passionate response. He responded with as much as he was learning with each kiss, his left hand was around her waist, keeping her steady, and another on  cheek. They kissed till they had to part away to get some air. 

"I love you Raghav, " she heavily breathed.  Raghav was stunned with the passion she possessed, "Prachi, " he kissed her forehead, "this was so unexpected..." She shyly looked away from his face and then back to him, "Hmm.." He brushed his fingers on her lips,  he had never seen them up so close. Why had he never imagined her lips in his poetry? Now he was ready to say his shyari out loud,  one that would be on his wife and her beauty.   A noise at the door interrupted his thoughts.   As quickly as they had gotten in the embrace, they loosened their grip around each other.  Straightened up and looked at each other, "Someone is outside, I'll get the door," Raghav said as Prachi looked around to find something to do. 

As he opened the door, there was no one there. Prachi too stepped out to see who had made that loud noise, but no one was there, "that's strange."

"Zarur Angad hoga!" As Raghav locked the door. 

Prachi shook her head, "I don't think so.  Mahir? Only he is the one who sneaks around the house like that!" 

"Kuch toh karna padega iss Mahir ka!"  Raghav mumbled. 

"Kya?" 

Raghav shook his head, "Nothing. Where were we?" 

Prachi smiled and stepped closer to him, "In each other's arms." As she boldly stretched her arms to put them around him.  He placed his hands on her bare waist, pulled her closer to him, "Pyaar sara aaj hi jatana hai?"  This brought a chill down her spin, why had she never felt this attraction before, this feeling made her bold, made her heart skip a beat,  she had butterflies in her stomach and with each touch, kiss and embrace, she was ready to break all barriers and finally live her love life. 

"Hmm..." she nodded in response.  

He bent down a little and kissed her lips gently.  Even he didn't understand,  how fast all barriers were breaking with her. Despite being in love with her for the last four years, he had never imagined to be this close to her, to feel passionate and drawn to her like a madman.  The kiss she gave him led him to crave for more,  when did he start feeling so attracted to her.  "Prachi, I think we had a long day, let's sleep."   Prachi made a cute face and pulled herself up to him,  getting very close to his lips.

"Haww...work machine wants to rest now?" she mocked him and took a step back. 

"It's just that, everything is happening to fast, I don't want you to regret anything." Raghav controlled his emotions, if given the chance, even he didn't know how further he would take this relationship in a night.  

"I won't regret anything," she smiled at him, "You are everything I ever wanted! But I know it has been long day for both of us.  I need help with this lehenga and jewelry, could you call Pihu didi?" She  walked to the dressing table to remove her jewelry.

Raghav dialed Pihu's number and waited for her to pick up, as soon as she did, "Pihu, Prachi needs help with her lehenga,  could you drop by and help her."  She replied something hastly and cut the call before he could say anything.

"She is coming right?" Prachi asked when Raghav shockingly looked at his phone. She was trying to remove her earrings. "Raghav?"

Raghav looked at her, "No. she said, she has never heard such a strange request asked by a husband on their first wedding night." He innocently looked at her. 

Prachi looked at him  through the mirror,  she chuckled and then mumbled" I guess, we don't get to rest so quickly tonight."
