It was 6 in the evening and mehandi function was about to start soon. The lawn of the resort was decorated traditionally.

Charpais were used to give punjabi touch to the function. These charpais are called manjis in punjabi.

Cladded in a beautiful green lehanga shehnaaz was led through the decorated gate to the lawn. She was looking ethereal in that green lehanga with stone work on it.

Every gaze was turned towards the beautiful angel walking through the people standing there.

Her eyes searched for him. Finding him standing along with his friends looking hot and handsome in a cream kurta pajama with a green printed basket over it.

Her eyes met his and the intense gaze of his made her eye lashes move down as she felt extremely shy.

There was no objection on the boys to come in the function. They were equally the part of this function.

Leading the couple in the center, they were made to sit together. Soon mehandi function started.

Sidharth agreed to have a little dot on his hand as shagun ki mehandi which jasmine applied on his hand. After that he was sent away from there.

Two girls set beside shehnaaz and started to apply mehandi on her hands.

All the youngsters had prepared solo dance performances and also a group dance performance at the end. Their dance brought a different spark to the function.

Her both hands and her arms up her elbow were filled with beautiful mehandi. The girls were applying mehandi on her feet now.

Everyone was busy in their own fun. She was feeling thirsty and no one was looking at her to whom she could gesture to get something to drink.

Sitting on his knees infront of her, sidharth brought a glass of juice to her lips. A beautiful smile adorned her lips. She drank the juice while he kept holding the glass.

"Sidharth, sanu see here" asim called them. They both looked towards him and he quickly clicked a beautiful picture of them. He was clicking their random pictures in every function.

Done with her mehandi she took a breath of sigh. She was tired sitting straight for so long.

"Sabne dance kar kiya. Sanu and sidharth ka bhi ek dance to banta hai" keerat said hooting for them alone making others chuckle.

"Mehandi lgi hai, mai nhi kar paungi dance" shehnaaz denied. She couldn't handle herself in that lehanga and then mehandi.

"No no sanu, ek dance to banta hai" zoya too encouraged them. Soon everyone started to clap for them.

"We will dance. Come on naaz, get up" sidharth stood up and made her get up too. Keerat tucked her lehanga little up preventing it to touch her mehandi. She walked bare feet towards the dance floor while sidharth along with her.

A romantic song played in the background. She kept her hands aside not wanting to get her mehandi messed.

Wrapping his hand around her waist sidharth pulled her towards himself earnings hoots from their friends while her eye lashes moved down feeling shy.

They moved along the rythm of the song. It was a slow romantic dance which made everyone look at them in aww.

Sidharth carefully turned her around making her back collide with his chest. His arms wrapped around her waist while her head rested on his shoulder. Closing there eyes they moved on the slow beats.

Busy in their own world, sidharth kissed her cheek from behind while nuzzling his nose on her jaw.

The loud whistles of their friends made them realise where they were. Turning her towards himself, sidharth hide her face in his chest knowing well she must have got nervous.

Soon claps and hoots echoed in the lawn as they ended the dance with sidharth placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Sanu tu chali jayegi na, meko kush ka call aa raha hai..kuchh important hoga" they were in the corridor as keerat was taking her back to her room after the function.

Shehnaaz smiled seeing the nervousness on keerat's face. Everyone in their group had their life partners who love each other so much, it made her so happy.

"Koi na keerat, tu jaa...mai chli jaungi..paas hi to hai room" shehnaaz smiled at her who ran away thanking sanu.

Her mehandi had dried now. Holding her lehanga she walked through the corridor towards her room.

"Achha to aapki shadi k functions chl rahe hain ms. beautiful" she heard a voice from her back and she remembered who it was.

It was same guy who dared to touch her before the start of her wedding functions.

Getting scared she didn't turn back and quickly walked towards her room.

"Arre what happened? Bhag kyun rahi ho?" holding her dupatta from back he forced her to stop. The pull on her dupatta scared her.

Turning towards him she looked at him scared and tried to pull her dupatta from his hold.

"Leave it" she said while trying to get it free from his group.

"Pehchana nhi kya mujhe... haan?" with the dirty lust in his eyes he came closer to her while she was still trying to free her dupatta.

His hand moved towards her hair. Before he could touch her, a strong grip on his hand stopped his hand.

He looked at his side and there sidharth was standing gripping his hand ready to pull it of his wrist. His eyes were red in anger.

"Dupatta chhod" a clear warning was in his words and the man didn't take a second to leave her dupatta seeing his angry glare on himself.

"Hath kaise lgaya tune?" holding his collar sidharth roared on him while landing a hard punch on his face.

Shehnaaz stood there scared seeing sidharth so angry. She didn't try to stop him.

"How dare you haan" sidharth punched him again. He gave two more punches on his face and the man was ready to pass out any moment. His mouth was already bleeding.

"Sidharth leave him" asim and vikas came running to him listening his voice. The resort staff too moved to them trying to make sidharth leave that two rupee man.

Their parents too reached there listening the commotion.

"Bahr phenko saale ko yahan se" sidharth kicked him before leaving him. The staff took the man with themselves while apologizing to sidharth.

"Kya hogya bachon? Sidharth kyun maar rahe the usse" his dad asked him concerned while everyone waited for his answer.

He looked at shehnaaz who was standing at a side silently crying. Moving towards her he wrapped his arms around her and wiped her tears.

"Kuchh nhi hua papa. Aap log tention mat lo" dismissing the topic sidharth led shehnaaz with himself. No one dared to ask anything further or to stop him.

Seeing shehnaaz crying they had an idea of what must have happened. They didn't talk further leaving it on sidharth to handle shehnaaz.

Entering inside his room along with her sidharth closed the door and hugged her tightly.

"Stop crying baby. Kuchh ni hua" sidharth kissed her hair while she hide hers in his chest.

"Theek ho ab?" asked sidharth a while later. She nodded her head still hiding in his chest.

"What was he saying naaz? Usne bola pehnchana nhi. Did he do something before too" sidharth cupped her face making her look at him. She stayed quiet fearing his anger.

"Shehnaaz tell me, did he do something before too?" he asked sternly this time and she nodded her head looking down.

"To pehle bataya kyun ni mujhe?" pulling her face up sidharth asked angerily while she sobbed.

"Tum gussa krte issilye" she said crying like a baby while he wiped her tears again.

"Mai muh tod k aaunga saale ka abhi. How dare he?" getting angry sidharth moved towards the door only to be held by her.

"Isiliye to nhi bataya tha. Mujhe humari shadi mai koi gadbad ni chahiye sidharth" holding his arm she sobbed again. Her tears melted his anger and he just took her in his arms again.

"Never do this again baby. Aage se aisa kuchh hua to galti se bhi mujhse chhupana nhi..hmm" he said softly yet dominantly and she hummed in response.

"Aur agr aage se koi aisa kuchh krne ki try kre to kheech k thapad mar dena saale k muh par. Muh tod k aa jana uska baaki mai dekh lunga" he said sternly to which she agreed. He didn't want her to be scared like this. She needed to learn to face such things herself.

Kissing her forehead, he hugged her tightly.

"Achha chlo ab mere sath" said sidharth holding her hand.

"Kahan jana hai" she asked confusingly while he ked her towards the door.

"Ek minute pehle ye lehanga change krlo tum" sidharth stopped suddenly realising they were still in those heavy clothes.

"phir mujhe apne room mai jana padega" she said annoyingly being all tired.

"Kahin jaane ki zroorat nhi hai" sidharth walked towards his closet and took out a t shirt and shorts for her and himself too.

"Go and change" giving her his clothes he softly pushed her to washroom while he himself changed in the room.

Opening the door she walked out of the washroom. Taking his eyes off his mobile sidharth looked at her and a chuckle left his mouth.

His shirt was reaching till her knees and his shorts were totally covered under the shirt. She looked too adorable that he felt like eating her up.

Walking up to her, he held her in his arms.

"Waise naaz,shorts ki koi zroorat nhi hai. Of you want...." sidharth said huskily knowing well her reaction.

"Sidharth" looking down she scolded him shying while he again scooped her in his arms.

"Achha chlo ab" wrapping his arm protectively around her sidharth led her out.

Sidharth took her to terrace and she looked around surprised. At the corner of the terrace a beautiful set up was made for them which he himself asked the staff to do.

It's been two days they were not able to sleep together. Still two nights were left for their marriage. He couldn't take this torture more. So to spend some peaceful time with shehnaaz, he planned this.

"This is beautiful sidharth" she exclaimed happily looking at the perfect setting.

"You liked it" wrapping his arm around her waist sidharth pulled her to himself.

"I loved it" she smiled at him. He led her towards the bed which was prepared for them to have a peaceful sleep together.

Sitting on the bed he pulled her in his lap and she instantly wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You didn't eat anything in lunch. So now have dinner first baby" pulling her back sidharth took  the plate which was placed there covered.

He made her eat himself even though her mehandi was totally dried. Making her little tummy full, sidharth kept the plate aside and washed his hands.

"Now show me" said sidharth holding her both hands in his.

"Show you what!" she looked at him confused.

"Tumhari mehandi mai mera naam" he said being excited like a kid while shehnaaz pulled her hands back immediately.

"No sidharth, aaj nhi" she strictly denied hiding her hands back.

"What aaj nhi,baby let me see. mujhe dhundna hai" he tried to take her hands back but she didn't let him.

"Sidharth mehandi mai apna naam first night pai dekhoge tum, aaj nhi" she said totally unaware of his naughty thoughts listening her.

Wrapping his arm around her waist sidharth pulled her closer.

"First night pai mujhe apna naam dhundne mai time khraab nhi krna naaz" sidharth whispered in his deep husky voice just on her lips and next he took her lips in his kissing her softly.

Pushing her on the mattress while kissing her sidharth made her lay under himself. Pouring his love in that kiss, sidharth moved towards her neck giving soft kisses to her.

Giving a hard peck on her lips sidharth moved back and layed beside her.

"Aaj chain ki neend aayegi kitne din baad" pulling her into his embrace sidharth whispered kissing her forehead.

"Mujhe bhi" she kissed his chest making him smile.

" Just two more days naaz" sidharth whispered holding her tightly in his arms. She smiled shyly hearing him.

Soon she was going to be shehnaaz sidharth shukla from shehnaaz gill. The mere thought sent shivers in her body.

Snuggling more into him she hugged him tightly who pulled her more into himself. Taking the blanket he covered themselves to have a peaceful sleep.
