After our small moment we came back to our room. No physical remains of yesterday night.

Jay was sleeping.

Yes! Jay why not?

If he can call me Adi I can also call him Jay.

I went, got ready for the day and changed into a kurti, jeans and a stole. Stoles or a shawl always give me a great sense of comfort. I feel kind of secured. I really don't know why.

This time I applied my sindoor with no second thoughts. I think I'm really accepting all these.

After changing I went near Jay I don't know what came over me I bend down and kissed his forehead, trust me finding that pumpkin head between the duvet was not that easy.

My Husband.

While I was turning around I fell backwards on his chest I looked up to see him staring at me.

He was supposed to be sleeping.

Why do I always end up in these situations?

He rolled us over and now I was lying under him his hand at both my sides. I felt him leaning down. Our breathes intermixing, his natural scent coaxing my entire system, and DON'T get me started with those blue oceans.

"I would prefer the kiss somewhere else" he informed me suggestively.

I just couldn't find a comeback.

That's the exact problem whenever he comes near me my rational thinking skills just fly away.

He inched closer to me and that's when someone knocked. Jay kind of growled and collapsed over me.

"Jay move someone is knocking" I said trying to get out of this position.

"My room, my wife, my rules tell them to f**k off." Hr growled snaking his hands around my waist still lying over me.

"JAY! Why are cursing and yeah to tell them I have to open the door so move." I spoke as if to a two year old.

In the silence that followed I looked down to notice our current position. Jay was lying over my chest his head nested between my bossom. For the first time I'm happy for the way I'm dressed.

"We just can't do it na?"

Came his question. A part of me wanted to do it I just don't know why.

But we cannot when there are battles to fight and inner demons to defeat. So I opted for the best escape sarcasm

"What are you a hormonal teenager?"

I asked pushing him away.

I heard him sigh. I just went and opened the door avoiding him.

There stood my family, everyone except Ma and Pa.

"And there we thought you will come to airport to pick us. Some sister you are." Leah told entering the room.

Did I tell her to come in??

It's Leah remember??

"Hey Brother-in-law. How is your stay in personal hell?" Leah asked her Brother-in-law!

"She snores.." Jay complained.

"Been there done that. Have you heard Taylor Swift's Blank Space? The song was written about her."

And all of them started laughing.

Excuse me??

Are these the same people who wanted to kill this guy??!

And him! He litterally cursed these people for knocking.

"Get out! I said Get out of my room"

I shouted at them.

And what they did??

They ignore me might I add royally.

"Wow! You have a garden here." Dan exclaimed.The thing is Dan has this obsession with Gardening and he loves people who does it.

"That's snowtopia"

When did Jay get there?

I could literally see hearts in Dan's eyes.

Is he Gay?

No.. remember he even asked a school girl her number just because she told she liked 4 of us. He is a big flirt.

But the garden is indeed beautiful. Annu told me when Jay was not here she used look after these plants.

I jumped a little when a hand came around my shoulder.

"How are you Ann?"

Concern evident in his voice. I smiled.

"It's not exactly rainbows and unicorns at the same time it's not that hard. And I'm okay. Don't give me that look. I'm really alright Rits"

I said placing my head on his shoulder.

I could feel a burning gaze on me. I knew who it was but I just ignored it.

I can't just leave my brothers just because he says so. He have to let me live my life. We are in this together but that doesn't mean I will go with all his teenager possessiveness.

"Ani I want this type of wardrobe in our home."

Our what?

"Sure baby, but don't you think it's bit costly?"

"We can ask my parents for lot of dowry. Trust me they are hella rich but they never gave me a decent pocket money. It's time for revenge."

I looked up to Rits who was trying hard to stop his laughter.

I raised my eyebrow questioningly.

"Long story short they confessed in front of the whole family."

Wow typical Leah!

"So they are dating?" I asked.

"As a matter of fact I don't know. She will tell you. She was really excited to tell you but I think dresses comes before friendship"

He said looking at Leah who was literally making my wardrobe a war zone and Anna doing his best disaster management.

This will be fun!

I heard a throat clearing and I was pulled toward a hard chest.

I heaved a sigh. Somethings don't change that easily. I just leaned towards his body and took in the warmth.

"Abhimanyu you know your wife really doesn't even know how to water the plants."

Rather than feeling offended I felt relief. I could see Dan trying to warm up with Jay and I'm sure all others will come around. There is hope.

"I can always teach her." He said staring down at me.

Why do I feel it's not about flowering plants rather deflowering me?

He squeezed my hips. Making my heart race. Heat rushed to my face making me look like a tomato. His ocean blue eyes turning a shade darker, reflecting desire.

"Sexy can you give me this gown?"

Leah screamed breaking our moment.

I immediately got out of his hold and ran to the closet.

There stood my Anna holding a couple of dresses and still bending down to pick another one.

"Leah how many times I have to tell you to not disorder my things?"

I tried to yell but due the earlier moment it came out like a squeak.

"And yeah take whatever you want but return it (atleast once)" with that I turned to help my poor Anna and started cleaning the mess.

"Anna are you sure?" I whispered in his ears both of us looking at Leah.

"I love her Anu" He told with a lot of happiness and love.

I think I have seen these emotions in someone's eyes...

"Guys we have to go for shopping."

Annu said entering the closet.

She saw the ruckus, her eyes widened for a second but she just turned and joined Leah scrutinizing my dresses.

Really??

"I think he is a nice guy Anu" Anna asked.

"He is, As a person. But a very stubborn one. He gets his way whatever path it takes. That's the only problem"

"Follow your heart Anu it knows what we want even before we know it ourselves." He said staring at Leah.

Will I ever get this kind of attention?

I thought heaving a sigh.

"Everyone come, let's have breakfast."

I heard Mama's sound outside the closet.

All of them left.

I immediately cleared the mess and turned to leave only to come face to face with my Husband.

"Let's have breakfast here."

He said pulling me towards him.

"Why do you always pull me am I a door or what??" I blurted out.

"Yes the door to my sanity, the key to my life. My world." The intensity with which he whispered those word in my ears. His heavy breathing stirred something, the tiny hairs of my neck standing up, sending a shiver to every cell of my body, every nerve endings of my body.

I was afraid of these feelings the desires and unknown emotions he is capable of stirring from the depth of my souls with his mere touch, words or gaze.

I pushed him with all my strength and he left me.

I knew he never expected this all the time when he took the initiative I just let him be. But now I'm feeling afraid.

"I....ca...can't " I whispered

I saw the emotions changing in his eyes, surprise, slowly turning way to realisation and then finally hurt, hurt of rejection.

He abruptly turned to leave just like yesterday but No! I won't allow him.

I immediately back hugged him.

I could feel his body stiffening and then slowly relaxing.

"You have to understand all these are new for me. We didn't marry in the ideal situation. Jay I'm afraid I really am of the emotions both my mind and body are going through. These are really new to me. I need time."

I whispered.

He took hold of my hands which were on his chest and kissed my fingers.

My breath hitched. My throat became dry.

"Are you speaking about these emotions Adi?"

He asked turning in my hands.

"It's okay. I know you need time. I thought you were okay with me holding you. I just couldn't hold back seeing you this beautiful in front of me. Sorry."

I knew this sorry was not just for what he did now rather all the thing he did. But I can't forgive him not when he haven't told me the whole story.

"Just sleep it off you got darkcircles there" I said touching under his eyes.

He closed his eyes leaning to my touch.

"DI!!!" I pulled away hearing Ananya yell.

"Bloody c**********s" Jay muttered under his breath but I heard.

"I hate swearing Jay" I told rather sternly.

"I know. I'll try. And that was not for you to here."

He kissed my forehead and went into to the bathroom.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" I asked checking myself in the mirror.

"I have some other things to take care of"

I frowned.

I just left the room.
