After all the rites and rituals were performed, the bride and the groom were left in their room.

The moon was shining brightly in the sky and the stars were scattered and twinkling beautifully. There was peace in the place and one could smell the scent of the flowers in the cool breeze of night. The whole atmosphere was enchanting yet the mind of both the bride and the groom was not at peace.

Aditya came and stood near Avni and she could feel the warmth extending towards her. She tried to ignore it and directed her gaze towards Aditya who was smiling towards her.

' You are looking stunning today.'

'Well thank you! You are not bad yourself.' Avni said teasingly.

Aditya smiled and sat on the bed and motioned towards her to sit down by his side. Avni sat down and Aditya reached for his pocket and produced a small box and handed over to Avni. 'What is it?'

'Open it. Its just a present from me thanking you for agreeing to marry. I know you are giving too much for this marriage so its nothing.'

Avni opened it and saw a pendant with silver string attached to it. It had a diamond at the centre surrounded by 5 small rubies. It was beautiful and she never saw anything like this before.

'Thank you its beautiful. But you didn't need to do this. It might be very expensive I can tell that much.'

'You have no idea I can easily afford it. Besides I wanted to thank you for agreeing to this arrangement.'

Avni nodded and looked at the necklace and wondered when was the last time she owned something like that but she couldn't remember because she never owned something this beautiful and elegant.

Aditya reached and took the necklace from Avni.

'Let me help you with that.'

He placed it at her neck and when his fingers brushed her skin it ignited a spark inside Avni. What is it that every time he touches or come close it feels different Avni thought but she couldn't figure it out. When simply a touch can melt her heart what would happen when he finally will touch her. She was curious about it but then she took hold of her emotions.

The next day Avni woke up in her new bed and found Aditya sleeping on the couch of the room. Aditya was too stubborn to convince to take his own bed. He wanted Avni to sleep in bed and didn't mind sleeping on the couch.

Everyone was waiting for them at the table for breakfast. Avni and Aditya entered together and everybody's eyes were on both of them. Avni felt nervous under their gaze. Both of them greeted everyone and sat at the table. Baani was giving both of them amusing smiles the whole time. This irritated Aditya very much but then he controlled himself.

Everyone was silently eating and then the grandmother spoke. 'So my dear grandson where are you planning to go for a honeymoon? '

Avni stopped eating and Aditya almost got the food out of his mouth when he heard his grandmother. He never planned for the honeymoon. But then he should have known better that his grandma won't let this go easily.

He thought for the quick escape so he said , ' I don't think we need to go anywhere besides I have a very important meeting this month and I don't think it will be possible for me to leave it.'

His grandmother nodded and Aditya sighed with relief. 'I know it would be very important for you to attend the meeting but you don't get this time again so you don't worry about the business your father will handle it. Wouldn't you Ajay?'

Ajay nodded, 'Ofcourse mother. She is right Aditya you don't worry about the business. I will take care of it and besides it's just a matter of few days.'

Aditya had no choice left and looked at Avni with pleading eyes and spoke, 'ok then. I will arrange for it. I think it would be better if we go to Tenerife. Its been a long time I've been there. What do you think dad?'

Ajay nodded and chuckled. 'You boy is really a piece of work. You can go there but don't leave my daughter-in-law alone. If I get any complaint from Avni then you watch it.'

'Don't worry dad! Avni is grown up now and she will be fine you need not worry about her.'

'Ok then its settled. When do you plan on leaving?'

'Tomorrow dad.' The sooner the better Aditya thought.

After having breakfast Avni motioned for Aditya to talk to her. She couldn't believe Aditya was taking her to the honeymoon. She was irritated by this. He never even ask her. How could he think that she will be okay with all the decisions that he makes. Aditya followed her to the kitchen while picking up the dishes. She turned towards Aditya.

'What was that? How could you expect me to go with you for that fake honeymoon? '

Aditya said smirking. 'Why do you want a real one? If that's the case it can be arranged.'

Avni was getting furious. Here she was serious and he was trying to be funny. 'I am not kidding! You should have atleast given me some warning. How could you expect me to be okay with all this?'

'I understand it Avni, but you have to trust me on this...'

They were interrupted by Baani who came smiling towards them. 'What now you two are having your first fight after marriage? '

'Baani we are not fighting we are talking and whatever its none of your business.'

'Adi you dont have to be so rude about it you know I was just teasing.' Baani said this and left.

Avni looked at Aditya and saw the emotions all too clearly. He was regretting his actions.

'You just have to say sorry you know. Its not a big deal but the way you are fighting yourself I can say you are not used to apologizing.'

Aditya thought how could she read him so well when they haven't shared much time together. It was like she could see through him. He was afraid that she might see who the real Aditya is.

'Its fine. She is my sister and she understands. She will be alright after few hours. '

Quite an egoistic man Avni noted. 'I guess now I need to pack for the journey then.'

'Yes. We will leave tomorrow in the morning and pack a few light clothes it would be a bit hot there.'

Avni chuckled at his discomfort and said, 'Yeah! I'll do that.'

Aditya nodded and left. I hope everything will be fine else I am going to kill this man, Avni thought.
