Ishitha pov:

  
"Ishuuuuuuu"

"For God's sake stop shouting"
I walked into ishan's room after hearing him shouting for me. "What is it? "

"Help me to choose a dress"

"We are heading now so that tomorrow won't be a trouble for us" I sighed out loud
"You are behaving as if you are heading to your marriage directly ishan "

"Come on everyone will be there and might be eager to see me"

"Yeah you are one famous Bollywood actor that everyone one's dying to see you" Saying this I picked a simple olive green tee and a white trouser to go with it.
 
  Tomorrow is the first pooja before marriage then comes haldhi, mehendhi, sangeet and marriage. Not only our families every single member who is attending the ceremony will be staying at the Roja Mahal with us. Some of our Indian friends most of our relatives are coming today directly to the mahal itself.

All the arrangements have been done already by the interior designers there is nothing for us to do
'just doll up and show off'.

Arjun and i will be staying there in same room for the coming five days ofcourse

I am so excited finally we got to spend some quality time there.
I hope arjun won't feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable to stay with so many people.

"Have you guys stated yet?" Arjun's voice boomed from ishan's mobile.

"Almost,just ten minutes more"
He ended the call.
"Keep your mobile with you ishu your husband called three times and gave up on your's"

"It was on charge" Saying this I entered my room to get ready. All of my bags were packed. I have already dressed and combed my hair

I dragged my two big luggage bags downstairs ,with Vicky 's help  i shoved my bags in car. After ten minutes we all started in our car to reach the mahal.

"God stop doing that your hair will fall off before you even get married to her" Vicky chuckled from driving seat at my remark on ishan, he keeps on moving his hair back with his hand from the beginning of the journey

"You got so nervous during your marriage too" Ishan said through gritted teeth

"The great Ishitha singh got nervous oh my. I am seriously waiting to meet him" Vicky said.

"Who? Her husband? " Ishan asked To which Vicky nodded like a kid. "Don't get too excited that man talks less" Vicky looked at me

"Dahiya" I said making him frown a little. "It's Ishitha Dahiya now"  Ishan rolled his eyes but vicky grinned shaking his head lightly.

Soon we reached our destination and parked our car in underground lobby

Damn this place is heaven
It's a historical design but God dang it. It's so spectacular. We all took an elevator to reach fifth floor that's where rooms are allotted for us,i mean for all of us.

Ground floor is full of hybrid variety plants half of them are foreign to my eyes. First floor has a gym and a pool, second floor is totally for women, third floor is having both club and games and fourth floor is for food. The marriage will be on the roof top .I  don't have any idea how  this idea popped in that engineer head? The building looks historic to outside but inside is with all latest version designs and facilities.

There is something special about this place that even celebrities too choose this mahal. We moved out when the elevator stopped with a ping. Soon ishan was dragged by asha and their family to introduce him to all the remaining family members unlike every time he is smiling and not at all complaining ,marriage indeed changes men but what about my man?.

"Why are you pouting wifey?"

"Arjun you scared me"
He did nothing but laughed

"Come let's go" He said taking  bags from my hand. Aww gentleman.

"Arjun meet vicky my neighbour and childhood friend" I said pointing at vicky Who is staring weirdly at Arjun.

"Hi" Arjun forwarded his hand for a shake without looking at him properly

"You didn't remember me? " Vicky asked

"Wait you both know each other?" I am confused

"Africa, vicky?"  Arjun said as if he realised something

"Yes" Vicky said laughing brightly and they both shared a hug. OMG

"Am I missing on something?" I asked but they didn't paid any heed to my words.

"Come let's talk in our room" Saying this Arjun started walking followed by me and Vicky.

"Tell me" I demanded the second we all entered room.

"First take a seat darling" Arjun made me sit on couch and he too sat beside me while Vicky is on bed facing us.

"A year back I been to Africa to learn a new techniques regarding heart surgeries" I nodded

"And I was assigned as his junior doctor" Vicky continued

"You have changed a lot it took me a minute to recognise you" Arjun said

"Yeah lost many pounds cause of work" Vicky justified.

"How is work by the way?" Is this really my arjun  talking so friendly.

"Excuse me I am seated right here care to explain the remaining story" I demanded

"I will babe" Arjun soothed my cheek. "We became close as we both are from Mumbai. We hang out one day after work, but I came back india soon. Guess what? I forgot to take his number but I got it from the hospital reception though"

"Then?"

"I changed my mobile number" Vicky ended

"Why?" I asked

"Security issues"

"Finally we met again" Arjun said. There is this happiness in his eyes that's didn't go unnoticed by me.

"Arjun beta... " My mom entered. "Finally you guys came. I need your help come with me" Mom literally dragged me from that room. I pouted looking at the men while leaving the room.

"What is it mom?"

"Did you remember Arpitha aunty's son vinnu? " I shook my head.
"Her son just passed out from high school  and wanna go London for further studies, so go and give them suggestions"

"Mom I wanna sleep I will catch up with them in the evening"

"Just ten minutes, please"

"Why me? Ask ishan "

"Ishuu stop being a kid"

And that's how I spent the next two hours with my relatives. On normal days I would have been energetic but cause of yesterday's alcohol I couldn't enjoy this time with them, the best part is vinnu is clever so understood everything pretty easily .

I slowly walked back to our room.

It's one in the noon

I have no apetite.

"Finally you came" Arjun said closing his book, he was laying on bed and he opened his hands wide for me.

"Yeah I missed you" I flung into his opened arms. He pulled me close till I am on him completely. His back was laying on headboard and I laid my head on his chest. "I am sleepy"

"Let's have food first"

"No I am sleepy"

"I will feed you" I lifted my head to look at him "just tiny amount to give you energy"

How can this man look so handsome every time. I thought of kissing him but the door bell disturbed us. He opened the door and came back with a tray full of food.
"Have some fruits and then sleep" He forwarded the bowl to me.

"You won't feed me?"  I pouted.

"No. They brought fork so help yourself" He replied and made me eat all the fruits

We laid on bed then after.

"Arjun? "

"Hmm? "

"I Love you"  And I drifted into my dream land.

Around five in the evening I woke up and arjun is no where to be found. I cleaned my face ,combed my hair before going out of our room.

Whole floor is so silent.
I reached third floor
my god it is filled with lot of people.

There is a big group at the end of this floor,everyone is chanting something I didn't understand.
I moved forward to see arjun and ishan playing  Hand wrestling. What the fuck is happening here. Even my parents are here chanting names. I walked through all these people and stood behind ishan. Everyone is observing  this.

"Ishu whom will you
support?" Vicky shouted over these people's noises

I bent forward so that I am looking straight into my arjun's eyes.

I am staring into his eyes and held the back of ishan's palm which is being squeezed in my man's hand. I tried to bend it to other side so that arjun will loose, but arjun pushed it too at the same time in opposite direction, seems like we both are gonna loose in my husband's hand, i smiled at arjun but nope he didn't falter then I mimicked a kissing action but all in vain. With a devilish grin he pushed too much and stopped just when our hands are about to hit the table.

"Ishan come on you can do it" Aasha  shouted

"Man he is a hulk" My poor ishan's face turned red.

"Guys you can do it" It's vicky now. Before we can push
our hands hit the table and a loud gasp heard from the audience.

Many of our my family side members gazed at arjun like he is some God. While his family side members started clapping saying "Bride's side won"

I felt eyes on me so looked around  only to see my arjun smiling at me no smirking at me.when did my arjun became this naughty?

With a head shake I stared at ishan who is being dramatic about his hand and all the ladies started showering him with love. Drama queen

"Ishuuuuu" I turned left and see all my friends walking in my direction.

"Guys where have you been all this time?"

"Gone to freshen up"  Mia replied on behalf of everyone

"Lemme introduce you to my
husband...." I said looking at my indian friends

"No need we have already talked" Arjun replied near my ear making me jump a little in my place. When did he came?

"Yes he is so sweet not like you had described" Radha my school friend said.

Then we all moved to fourth floor to have some snacks.

"Seems like some one is getting cozy"  I whispered in arjun's ear when we are placing order for every one 

"Am I smelling jealously in here?" He feigned like he is sniffing the air around me ,I chuckled at his antics.

"I am glad that you are trying to move on from your past"

"After a lot of thought I
realised how  much of an immatured man I have been"

"Hey it's not like that ajju, everyone's feelings matter no matter what they are" I said rubbing his arm.

"Every thing is fine except that ajju" He gritted out

"If you two are done with your sex talk bring the food, I am starving" Nithya shouted from the table.
We both walked to them with starters and some server boys carried the remaining food 

"Okay what is going on?" I asked picking one tofu fry

"Nothing much introducing one another" One of them said.

I can't believe this
all of our friends came
Nearly twenty five members..

The next hours are spent talking about old days and funny things and new introductions.

Around nine we all left to have a good sleep. To say I had blast would be an understatement, even arjun talked not all the time but when needed. He looks so exhausted but is still smiling.

"Want me to massage your head?" I asked when we both sat on bed after taking a long soothing bath.

"Yes please"  I started massaging his head with oil and he started relaxing.

"Arjun"

"Hmm"

"Don't push yourself too much" I guess he got what I meant

"I am good" With a sigh I kissed his cheek and started pressing his arms

In a second I am in his lap

"What? "

"You should get punished" He declared dragging his nose down to my cleavage lazily

"For what? " My tone is low and dry.

"For not supporting me"

"Because I know that you will win in the end" I defended.

"But still" He said giving me open mouthed kisses.

"What is the punishment? "  I asked

"Pleasure me"  He said huskily in my ear.
