Shehnaaz looked at the florally decorated bed in amazement. Sidharth smiled looking at his innocent wife.

"Kullu.. fool", she said sitting on the bed and filling her nostrils with the aroma of the jasmine.

"Fool nahi.. Phool hota hai.. Fool toh kuch aur hota hai.", He said embracing her into his arms from behind.

"Fool", she said playing with the jasmine garland by making it swing, which hung infront of her. He rolled his eyes and made her turn to face him.

"Idhar dekho.. phool hota hai.. fool nahi.. bolo ph.. ph.. phool..", he said stressing on the phonics.

"Ph.. ph.. phool..", she repeated making him laugh loudly.

"Haan.. par yeh ph.. ph.. nahi bolna.. samjhi?", he said.

She nods her head in agreement.

"Achcha batao kya samjhi?", He asked.

"Ph.. ph.. nahi.. Ooool", she said making him facepalm. She giggled loudly.

"Uska pata nahi but tum zarur fool ho..", he said leaning closer to her and biting her cheek romantically.

"Aahh..", she moaned. He hugged her close to his heart and she hugged him back with same intensity.

"Shehnaaz.. pata hai aaj apni suhaagraat hai.. Main tumse bahut pyaar karta hoon aur tumhe woh sab dena chahta hoon jo harr pati apni patni ko deta hai. Dher saara pyaar!! Par tum itni masoom ho na ki mujhe tumhe thoda sa bhi dard hoga yeh sochke hi darr lagta hai aur mere seene mein dard hota hai. Pyaar mein hi sahi main tumhe koi dard nahi pahuchaana chaahta.", He said kissing her knuckles.

She smiled not fully understanding what he meant by the pain he was talking about.

"Kuch samjhi?", He asked.

"Dard nahi... Dher saara pyaar..", she summed up with her limited vocabulary list.

"Haan, dher saara pyaar without dard.", He pressed his lip thin and nodded in agreement.

"Kullu.. I love you.", She said looking at his dull face who was lost in his thoughts of going far from her for somedays. He looked at her childlike innocent face from the corner of his eyes.

"Par iska matlab yeh nahi ki main tumhe kuch nahi karunga.. pura sataunga.. haq hai mera..", he said tickling her tummy. She giggles and twists and rolls in her place lying on the bed.

"Kullu.. kullu.. kullu..", she gasps unable to take the tickles. He stops the torture and lies beside her. He kissed her lips and cuddled with her until they fell asleep in each other's embrace.

"Good morning Shehnaaz di..", greets Meera.

"Good Morning Meera", said Shehnaaz.

"Aww.. aap kitni cute ho.. Sidharth jiju ne aapko raat bhar sataaya toh nahi?", Teased Meera.

"Kullu.. gudgudhi kiya..", giggled Shehnaaz reminiscing last night. Meera laughed out loud listening to her cute talks.

"Aur.. aur kya kiya? Pyaar kiya?", Asks Meera in a teasing tone.

"Haan, dher saara pyaar without dard", Shehnaaz uttered the same words which Sidharth had said last night.

"Huh? Matlab.. aww di aapke kullu bahut hi pyaare hai bilkul aapke jaise. Woh apne pati hone ka dharam bahut achche se nibbha rahe hai.. Aap bahut hi nadaan hai. Woh shayad aapki isi maasumiyat ke wajah se aapko koi dard nahi dena chahte. Main aapko sikhaungi, woh sab joh ek patni apne pati ke liye karti hai.. dheere dheere.", Said Meera hugging Shehnaaz. Meera realised how loving and caring Sidharth was towards the child-like Shehnaaz and how important it is for Shehnaaz to grow up into a full-fledged woman now.

"Achcha Shehnaaz, tumhaare liye foreign se kya leke aau?", He asked with a smile though his heart was aching to leave his newly wedded wife alone.

"Kullu.. Kullu chahiye.", Said Shehnaaz.

"Kullu toh tumhara hi hai na sweetheart. Kullu ke alwa aur kya chahiye?", He asked.

"Kullu.. kullu chahiye..", reiterated Shehnaaz with a cute pout.

"Hmmm.. tumhaari suyi toh kullu pe hi attak gayi hai..", he kissed her pout.

"Matt jao.. please kullu..", she said batting her eyelashes.

"Aww... Sweetheart, mujhe ab jaana hoga warna flight miss ho jayegi.", Says Sidharth. Shehnaaz was hugging his arms like a little kid not wanting to leave him to go away from her.

"Kullu.. nahi..", she muttered.

"Jaldi aa jaunga meri jaan.. tumhare liye hi jaa raha hoon.. bina pehchaan ke rehna khatre se khaali nahi hai.", Said Sidharth while pulling his trolley suitcase to the living room where Meera, Keshov and Maushami were waiting to see him off. Shehnaaz tagged along with him to the hall still holding his arm.

"Sir, sob samaan rakh liya aapne?", Asked Keshov.

"Haan Keshov. Mere event manager ka number pe call karna agar kuch urgent ho toh. Warna main karunga waha se phone harr roz.", Said Sidharth.

"Thik hai sir.", Nods Keshov

"Please meri Shehnaaz ka khayal rakhna mere aane tak.", Said Sidharth kissing the top of her head.

"Haan, sir. Woh mera bhi behan hai toh main uska achcha khayal rakhunga. Aap chinta na kore..", said Keshov.

"Haan.. hum sab uska achcha khayal rakhenge, aap apna khayal rakhiye..", said Meera

Sidharth side hugs Keshov, Meera and Maushami because Shehnaaz was not ready to leave his hand.

"Meera..", Sidharth signals Meera to hold Shehnaaz so that he can leave. Meera nods.

"Shehnaaz di.. chalo na hum dono bada mazza karenge.. aap jaane do Jiju ko..", says Meera holding her arm.

"Kulluuuu.. kulluuuu..", Shehnaaz's grip on his arm gets tighter and she starts sobbing like a baby. Sidharth bites his lip to hide his vulnerability. Shehnaaz pulls her arm frim Meera's grip and hugs him tightly. Meera looks at him with welled up eyes. He nods his head to give them some time. Keshov pulls his trolley bag and both Maushami and Meera follow him outside the house.

"Shehnaaz.. baby.. suno toh..", said Sidharth. Shehnaaz nods her head in disagreement while hiding her sobbing face into his chest.

"Suno na.. Sirf thode din ke liye.. main jaldi aaunga.. aur hum na roz phone par video call par baat karenge thik hai?", He said pulling her gently and cupping her face. He wipes her tears but her tears constantly flowed out.

"Shehnaaz ab aur ro-ogi toh main bhi rounga.. tum chahti ho ki main bhi rone lagu?", He asked with heavy voice.

She nods in disapproval and looks at his face.

"Good! I love you", he said wiping her tears.

"I.. love...", He didn't allow her to complete her sentence as he smashed his lips with hers. They both kiss each other intensely pouring all their love towards each other. The long kiss was followed by yet another short kiss after they gasp for some air.

"Rona nahi samjhi.. aur sabke saath haste haste raho.. agar tumne khana nahi khaaya na toh main phone nahi karunga.. toh thik se khaana khaana padega.. samjhi?", He asks.

She nods her head in positive.

"Kya samjhi?", He asks.

"Rona nahi.. Haste haste.. Khaana nahi karunga.. phone nahi khaaya..", she said making him laugh loudly.

"Gadhi ho tum.. Phone kaun khaata hai? Maine kaha agar tumne khaana nahi khaaya toh main tumhe phone nahi karunga..", he used gestures to instruct her clearly.

"Khaana khaaunga..", she said.

"Khaana khaaungi bolo..", he corrects.

"Khaana khaaungi..", she said.

"Haan.. very good Shehnaaz!", He praised her by pecking her lips quickly.

They both go out together and Sidharth gets into the taxi. He waves his hand to everyone but his eyes were only fixated at Shehnaaz.

"Kullu.. bye", She held back her tears.

"Bye Shehnaaz", he said as the taxi leaves.
