Shivani was settling the flowers and items of worship near the mandap.

She sighed and rubbed her hands in satisfaction after all things were perfectly settled.

She turned around and found Abhimanyu standing there with a smirk....😏

Her smile disappeared a little as she was all alone with him.

Pretending to ignore him she started going from there when he held her hand and pulled her on himself.

"K....k...kya ....ka..r rahe...ho?", she asked wiggling in his arms.

"Kya lagta hai", he whispered in her ears tightening his grip.

"Abhi....", she breathed biting her lips in nervousness.

"Tumhe kuch batana hai...", He said as he stared romantically at her.

She nodded her head gesturing him to speak ahead but only she knew what marathon her heart was running.

"I want to say ki..

Jeetenge toh hum hi😙", he pushed her gently and smirked.

"Huh!!!!?", came out her voice in surprise.

"Arre tumhe toh yaad bhi nahi....

Kya Shivi I am talking about 'Joota Chupai' ki rasam", he explained while settling the flowers.

Her shocked face turned to an angry one....

She turned him in a force and held his collar boring her eyes into his.

"Tum...tum samajhte kya ho apne aap ko haan? Aaye bade....😒

Ye attitude na kisi aur ko jaake dikhana samjhe mere saamne nahi chalega😠!!! Aur ye over-confidence ke pahad se neeche aa jao kyunki joote toh tumhe milne se rahe...", Shivani bursted like a lightening cloud on him whereas he was trying hard to control his smile.

"Tumhe pehle bhi kaha tha bakwaas mat kara karo par nahi tumhe toh apni aadaton se baaz hi nahi aana.....🙄

Agli baar mere saamne kuch ulti seedhi harkat karne se pehle na 1000 baar soch lena warna ye jo daant tum dikha rahe ho na wo bachenge nahi...😤", She huffed in anger and her nose turned red making Abhimanyu giggle more.

Abhimanyu held her by waist as she was too close to him and whispered huskily,

"Wo toh dekhenge sweetheart kon jeeta aur kon haara...😋"

Her grip on his collar loosened and her eyes roamed here and there.

"Wo toh dekhenge Sadu!!!", she rolled her eyes pushing him and ran away from there.

"Ab iss ladki ko kon bataye hum toh pehli se apna Dil iss par haar chuke hai....💖!", he stretched his arms and blushed like a teenager lover boy.

As soon as Jai removed his shoes near the mandap, Shivani quickly pick them up before Abhimanyu and his gang could do anything.

She smirked looking at him and gave a victory smile.

"Shivu humari izzat ab tumhare haathon mai hai...", Tanu giggled.

"Haan haan Tanu tum tension na lo.... Humari izzat aur ye joote kahi nahi jaayenge😏", she said looking at Abhimanyu.

The priest started chanting mantras and Tanu's parents came forward for 'Kanyadaan'.

It was the time to perform pheras, Shivani helped Tanu to stand up with heavy lehenga.

"Shivu jis kamre mai hum the uss kamre mai chupa aao joote...

Brideroom sochkar koi nahi jaayega..", Tanu whispered in her ears while getting up.

"Haan theek hai tum filhaal phero par dhyaan do...😊", Shivani assured her.

The couple started their first phera around the holy fire and repeated the vows after the priest.

Shivani stood their smiling throwing flowers at them.

She felt someone beside her and moved her eyes to her left only to find Abhi standing there with a stupid grin.

"So ready ho haarne ke liye😗", Abhimanyu brushed his shoulder with hers.

"Dekhte hai....🙄", Shivani rolled her eyes.

Abhimanyu chuckled and threw some flowers on her which only irritated her more.

She glared him and went away from there.

Abhimanyu saw her picking up the shoes and escaping like a thief, he bit his lips and gave a little smirk to himself.

He looked at Tanu who looked at him just then and winked.

Abhimanyu grinned and ran behind her.

"Yaha toh tum kya tumhari soch bhi nahi aa paayegi Malhotra...😏!!!

Huh mujhe challenge karoge", she was grinning to herself and hid the shoes in the almirah.

She rubbed her hands in satisfaction when she heard a thud.

Her body shook a little and she oscillated her body.

The scene in front of her made her throat dry and her eyes widen like saucers.

Abhimanyu was standing there with leaning his back on the door, his arms folded against his chest.

"Ohhh hiii baby😏!!!", he smirked coming towards her.

Shivani was not in a state to say anything and stood there dumbfounded.

"Pata hai tum gussa ho baby par itni ki hello bhi nahi bologi...🙁", he pouted.

"Tum...", she said in a low voice.

"Nahi nahi main tumhe stalk nahi kar raha Shivani mujhe galat mat samjhna...!", he said pretending to be shocked.

She sighed and glared him.

"Jaan bas kitna ghoorti ho tum mujhe!! Tumhare saath hi toh rehta phir bhi tumhara Mann nahi bharta na mujhse...", he smiled.

Shivani scrunched her eyebrows giving a what the hell look to him.

"Dekho phir ghoor rahi ho.... Bas baby sharam aati hai mujhe🙈!!", he said shying.

"Tumhara dimaag toh theek hai na...🧐", she asked.

"Bilkul.....😁!!", Abhimanyu grinned.

"Mujhe doubt hai", she muttered slowly.

"Halat toh iss Dil ki kharab ho rakhi hai❤️", he smiled softly without any playfulness.

Shivani's lips parted a little and her cheeks turned pink.

"Tum jao!!!", she turned her face to other side smiling.

"Aaye haayeeee❤️🥰!!!", Abhimanyu giggled watching her blush.

He came closer to her and pinned to the almirah.

"Jo main lene aaya hun wo toh lekar hi jaaunga...", he smiled.

"Joote nahi milenge tumhe", she pouted like a kid.

"Wo chahiye bhi kise...", he chuckled.

"Phir kya chahiye tumhe?", she muttered.

"Ek jawaab", he said tracing his finger on her earrings.

"Konsa?"

"What do you feel for me Shivi", he smiled looking into her eyes.
