Before reading the chapter,I would like to say that guys! I was just joking in the last chapter that the book is going to end 🤦‍♀️ and I felt sorry for doing that after so many of you people commented not being happy about it. So relax this book isn't going to end,not anytime soon because I still have a lot in my mind which I want to pen down here. Anyways the good thing happened is that I realised how much you people like this book which feels like a dream to me. I love you all so much❤️

Not edited so feel free to point out my mistake 🤗

Ahana's pov

The next morning I woke up quite grumpy because I couldn't sleep properly the whole night and now I had to leave the bed to start my day. Though I know no one will even question me at all for being a tad bit late but then I didn't wanted to just take advantage of that so I finally made my mind and thought to leave my cozy bed but I felt some weight around my waist and legs which restricted my movements. I looked beside to see Randhir sleeping peacefully with his one hand around my waist and one leg across mine while his face was hidden in my neck. He had caged me in his hold as if I would disappear any moment. I shaked my head on my own thinking and bringing my hand close to his face started caressing his cheeks. I kissed his forehead while he snuggled more into me tightening his hold and muttered probably irritated

"Ummm, baby stay still and let me sleep peacefully!"
I scowled at his words as even he kept me awake all night and looked down to say the same but my scowl was replaced by a sweet smile seeing him sleeping cutely with his hair falling on his forehead and mouth little open forming a 'o'. I pushed his hair back gently roaming my fingers in threads and stayed like that for sometime. I picked up my phone from the side table to see the time which showed it was 9:00am exact. Keeping my phone back,I took his hand which was around my waist and Interwined our fingers kissing the back of his hand. Leaving his hand,I turned my body a little towards him which made a frown appear on his face but the next second he sighed as I circled my hand around his neck. He looked so innocent while sleeping totally opposite of what he was last night! The thought only was enough to bring red hue on my face. Though he was going all rough with me but his care was always present.

"Baby! If you want then sleep but please let me go!"
I finally said softly keeping my hand on his chin which made me feel his one day old stubble. He just nodded a little without replying and I heaved a sigh. I know this is going to be a heavy task to ask him to let me go. I don't know why he gets cranky every morning if I ask him to leave me to take a shower or if he wakes up alone in the bed? And this one time back in our apartment,he literally carried me from the kitchen to our bedroom sleeping again saying he needs me beside him to sleep. But even if I get irritated with it still I know these little bit craziness of my husband is enough to make my day and smile uncontrollably.

I came out of my thought and again said

"Randhir please jaane dijiye na! Everyone would be down already!"
This made him to open his eyes and throwing daggers at me replied

"Raat ko toh sone diya nhi atleast ab toh thodi neend puri karne do?"
My mouth was wide open as I processed his words and glaring back at him said

"I think your memory is weak because it was you who had troubled me the whole night! And look at your audacity putting all the blame on me!"
He chuckled pulling me closer and I closed my eyes because we were still naked under the duvet. Well I was naked as he still had his lower on.

"Subah subah gussa is bad for your health wife!"
I pouted at this and replied

"Aur gussa dilaya kisne?"
He smother my face with kisses and looking back at me replied

"Hmm,I am sorry but I want to sleep more!"

"Haa toh who asked you to get up? You sleep as much as you want but just let me go!"
I stated rolling my eyes but he held my waist more tightly whispering

"But I don't want you to go away. I want to sleep with you in my arms!"
I sighed kissing his chin and replied

"Randhir please uth jao na! It's bhai dooj today and choti must be waiting for you!"

"Tab toh mujhe bilkul niche nhi Jaana!"
His reply made me furrow my eyebrows and I asked

"Why are you saying like this?"

"Kyu ki every year on raksha Bandhan and bhai dooj, that devil makes sure that I go bankrupt by demanding anything in her will!"
I giggled softly at his reason but composing myself said

"No need to crib about all this. I know you love her like anything and you will even sacrifice your own self if she demands!"
This time he looked down as if caught looking like a baby which made me smile softly.

"Ab mein jao?"
I asked again to which he replied

"Hmm! Rukne wali toh tum ho nhi so you go and I will sleep for sometime more!"
I shrugged and tying the duvet properly around myself left the bed. On my way,I took our scattered clothes from the ground and dumped them into the laundry bag. Since I had no time to soak myself in the bathtub,I opted to take a warm shower. Properly cleaning myself,I completed it as early as possible and came in the closet. I took a light blue saree with pink designer blouse and drapped myself in it. Coming out of the closet,I stood in front of the dressing table and turned to tie the dori of my blouse but was shocked to the core seeing the number of love bites on my back.
Her saree 👇

"RANDHIR!!"
I took his name in high pitched voice because I was hell irritated. I looked at him who looked startled now sitting on the bed looking at me sighed saying

"Yaar Ahana tumne thaan liya hai kya ki mujhe chain se sone nhi dogi?"

I flared my nose in anger and huffing went close to him and said

"Aapki neend gyi bhaad mein pehle aap batayenge ki ye kya hai?"
Saying so I turned my back to him showing the love bites and again faced him to see that he was smirking much to my annoyance.

"Why are you asking me as if you are not aware of what it is!"
He replied and pulled me in his lap such that my bare back was touching his chest and this time I blushed.

"I know very well what it is but why did you had to be so excited ki more than half of my body is covered with bites and now my back too! Like seriously Randhir ab mein niche kaise jao with this marks showing?"
He chuckled silently tracing his lips on my back which sent shiver down my spine.

"It's your mistake because when it comes to you,I have zero patience in me and jaha tak rahi baat ki tum niche kaise jaogi toh simple change into another dress which covers you because I can't afford anyone looking at this bites on your body!"

Possessive husband 😏!!

"Ye toh pehle sochna tha na!"
I muttered turning to him circling my hands around his neck. He just hummed and dipped his face in neck starting to kiss me there and whispered

"I like how delicious you smell!"
I bit my lips trying to stop the goofy smile hiding my face in his neck.

"You change and go down till then I'll freshen up and come! Hmm?"
He said softly and I nodded. He stood up and filling my hairline went to take a shower after pecking my lips. I sighed and changed into another dress and covered the bites which were on my neck by some makeup.
Her attire 👇

I went down to see everyone was in the living room. Wishing everyone good morning I sat down when choti said

"Bhabhi,were is bhai yaar kab se wait kar rahi hu!"
I chuckled at her complaining tone and replied

"He will be here in a min!"
She huffed nodding and we started talking among ourselves until we heard footsteps coming down and finally was Randhir down. He first touched maa Papa's feet wishing them good morning and pulled choti's hair sitting beside me. Choti whined at this saying

"Yaar bhai not today! Aaj ke din toh meri thodi izzat karlo?"
We laughed at her words and Randhir replied as a matter of fact

"It's bhai dooj so you have to give me respect not the other way around hippo!"
Choti made a crying face hugging Papa and complained

"Why isn't there any festival for sisters? Agar hota na toh pakka bhai ko apne ungliyon pe nachati!"

"Pehle hi kya kam nacha rahi hai!"
Randhir muttered which made choti to glare at him suspiciously and asked

"You said something?"
He just shook his head frantically and gave her his most innocent (fake) smile and we were having a hard time controlling our laugh.

"Acha choti ab aarti ki thali le aao aur Randhir ki tilak kardo jaldi se!"
Maa finally interrupted and nodding choti went to do the same. She came back with a thali and did Randhir's tilak completing the ritual. Keeping the thali aside,choti kept both her hands on her waist and demanded

"My gift!"
We knew by the looks of Randhir that he wasn't going to give her anything easily and it was confirmed as he said

"But ek ritual abhi baaki hai?"
Choti frowned like us clearly not understanding what he is up to and asked

"Whatt?"

Okay! She is irritated!

"Abhi tak tumne hamare charan sparsh nhi kiye balike!"
We smacked our own head at his way to irritate her more and it actually worked because choti was fuming and puffing.

"Bhai I swear I am gonna kill you right now if you don't stop this stupid tactics of your's and just give me my present!"
But Randhir crossed his arms around his chest and controlling his laugh replied

"Why are you getting so hyper hippo? Just touch my feet and take your gift!"

"And what makes you think I'll do that?"
Came her reply in her sassy tone but Randhir didn't budged and smirking said

"And what makes you think I'll give you your present just like that?"
She whined more on this stomping her foot on the ground but not seeing any other way out, huffed and just when she was about to bend down to do the said thing, Randhir stopped her holding her shoulder and hugged her close to him making us smile widely.

"Teri gift bahar khadi hai!"
Randhir informed and together we moved to see what it is but clearly the most excited soul was choti.

"OH MY GOD!!!!"
Choti shouted as she saw the sleek black colour BMW parked right in front of us. She hugged Randhir jumping on him and we all just smiled at their bond.

"I know you wanted this one from a very long time but don't get yourself in trouble. Drive it safely because hath pair tut gye toh tujhse shaadi kon karega? Waise hi bhagwan ne shakal achi nhi di hai!!"
Choti gasped as she processed his words and started beating him on his chest. We laughed heartily and coming back in,sat on the dining table to start with our breakfast. I served Randhir and was about to do the same for me when choti pointed out

"Bhabhi,how did you get this cut on your wrist?"
Everyone's attention shifted to me and I looked at my hand down to the slight cut with nervousness not knowing what to say.

"Beta how did this happened and you kept it open not paying attention? You should have applied a anticeptic or something?"
I looked at papa on his question and chuckling nervously replied

"Arre don't worry papa it's not anything serious! Just a small cut nothing much!"
I sighed as they just shaked their heads and proceeded with the breakfast. I turned towards my husband staring at him meekly but the look I saw in his eyes was the last thing I wanted to see. He looked guilty probably knowing the reason how I got hurt. I sighed making a mental note to talk to him and put some sense into his brain. Finishing our breakfast,I and maa cleaned the table taking the plates inside when my phone rang.

"Yes Mrs soon to be Adith Seth?"
I exclaimed in a bored tone to which Swara from the other side replied in excited one

"I am getting married!"
I scrunched my nose at her high pitched voice and said

"Bitch are you planning to make me deaf or what? And what the hell is 'I am getting married'. I know you are getting married idiot!"

"Bitch bhi tu aur idiot bhi tu. Ab meri baat sunn puri. I meant I am getting married because the dates are finalized and we are going to get hitched in less than one month!"
She said squealing and I can imagine her jumping around in her room. I too got excited because it was my bestfriends marriage and said

"Wow!! That's a really good news. You are getting married in less than a month? Wait a minute! Are you by any chance tying the knot around new year?"
I asked in confusion and excitement and she said

"Actually on the 31st December!!"
I shouted the next second though not in a high pitch.

"That is going to be amazing! Acha now give me other details. Have you selected your outfits? I swear I'll kill you if you do that without me and are you planning to get married here in Mumbai or a destination wedding? Tell me na why are you silent?"

"Arre tu bolne degi tab na? So the answer to your question is no I haven't selected the outfits yet and I am not planning to do that without you. About all the other things toh isiliye I called you. Adith said we will discuss everything together with you all so get ready and come to infinity mall with your husband. We will do lots of shopping aur baaki ke baatein bhi discuss kar lenge. Adith has informed Sid and Ruhi too!"
She said all that in on go and huffed at last making me chuckle. I agreed to her and bidding bye cut the call.

Coming in the living room I saw maa on call and Randhir doing something on his phone. I sat beside him but pouted when he didn't even looked at me. Maa kept the phone and looking at us said that it was Adith's mom who informed about the dates being finalized. I too said about Swara wanting to meet us to discuss everything and maa agreed saying to go ahead.

"Shopping karne jaa rahe hai? Toh even I will come!"

Choti exclaimed excited and we didn't had any objection to take her with us so we agreed. Randhir went upstairs for taking his wallet and car keys and together we started our way to the mall. There was an odd silence in the car as Randhir was quitly driving. Choti must have analysed Randhir's mood so she chose to keep mum while I wasn't even getting his single glance. Finally reaching the mall, Randhir parked the car and we three entered to see all our four friends standing together. Exchanging hugs,we started moving around but I was just finding a way to have a talk with my husband which seems impossible because he was religiously ignoring me.

"Arre Ahana try this one you will look damn hot in it!"
Swara exclaimed thrusting a black short dress completely backless from behind. I widened my eyes at the flimsy material and said apprehensively

"Swaru you know I don't like wearing this kind of dresses!"
She rolled her eyes and said

"I know but this one is so nice! There's no harm in trying it out maybe you can wear it in my bachelorette party!"
She started pushing me towards the trial room and I looked at Randhir to see him looking at us only and by his looks I can say he knew what was happening between us. He came to us and Swara immediately left excusing herself.

"Go try it! I am here outside!"
He stated but I pouted wanting to oppose. Still I went inside and started removing my clothes and wore the black dress. I was actually looking hot if say so myself but was still apprehensive to wear it. I looked at all the love bites on my back which was visible due to the backless design and blushed but immediately realized that I wanted to talk to Randhir. I looked down at my wrist which had the cut and sighed. Taking a deep breath,I opened the door a little and called him.

"Randhir!!"
He turned to me and looked at me in confusion. I just took his hand and pulled him inside which left him baffled.

"Ahana?"
He tried saying something but I cut him in between and said

"Bacha!"

"Huuhh!"
He was confused to no extent. I went close to him keeping my hands on his chest and as a reflex his hand rested on my naked back.
Avoid the heels 👇

"Call me bacha! It's been ages since you called me your bacha!"
He sighed looking down. I cupped his face making him look into my eyes and asked softly

"What happened jaan?"
He took hold of my left hand which was on his face bringing it in front. He slided down my chooda and traced the cut there which made me hiss slightly.

"It happened last night right!"
He asked or more like stated with guilt lazed in his voice. I sighed because he was right. It did happened last but maybe I was so much lost into the pleasure to feel anything. I smiled softly and again cupped his face with both my hands saying

"It's nothing Randhir!"
But he wasn't in the mood to listen. He shaked his head and replied

"How's it nothing? It is just because of me that you got hurt. I was so much blinded in my own world that I didn't even realised that I am hurting you! I am sorry!"
This made me angry and I said

"Why are you sorry? Are you sorry for making love to me then fine don't touch me ever again if you are regretting now!"

"I won't ever regret making love to you jaan but I am surely regretting to hurt you!"
He explained again joining our foreheads. I hugged him tightly while he held me close and I said

"But you don't have to regret anything at all. It wasn't your mistake!"

"I tied you up Ahana!"
He said stubbornly and I blushed but composing myself replied

"So what? If you are regretting for this small cut than I have to regret my whole life for all the hurtful scretches I leave on your back!"

"You don't do that intensionally plus I love your marks on my body!"
I smiled at his answer and pecked his lips saying

"So this isn't your mistake too! It was bound to happen and it did so no regret am I clear?"
I deadpanned while he nodded finally and I muttered

"Idiot husband!"
He quirked his eyebrows and asked

"You just didn't called me an idiot!"
I giggled and replied

"I just did so?
