Suvarna's POV.

Heart pounding heavily in my chest I entered my room and shut the door behind. Slowly I walked to my bed and picked up my baby blue pyjama top and shorts.

Ten minutes later I was ready for bed and still trying to calm my nerves. Three days back when he had mentioned about me accompanying him to a wedding I had not really thought too much about it.

It is because you were busy blushing and feeling shy about the way he had been mentioning our future together.

I rolled my eyes at my own subconscious mind as it re surfaced again!

A thought had popped into my mind later- the reality. I had never really interacted with the people in his social circle.

Though I am quite close to some of them like Danny, Charles, Ben and some of his neighbours, I have no idea about the other people he interacts with, has grown up with or has spent time with over the years.

Will I be able to adjust to them? Will they like me? What expectations do they have from Shishir's fiancée?

Back home I would have never had this type of thought. Perhaps because we had a good amount of common circle.

He may be still deeply connected to his roots, however he has climbed the social ladder and done phenomenally well for himself-

A soft knock on my door just then made me jump breaking my chain of thoughts.

"Suvi."

Shishir's voice was soft and my heart reacted instantly and launched into a crazy dance.

Stay calm girl it's just Shishir, your best friend.

And the love of your life -quipped my subconscious.

Shaking my head to my own thoughts I opened the room and almost stopped breathing as my heart danced harder and my lungs forgot why they had been put into my body.

Breath Suvi breath.

But the sight of him casually dressed in his night attire of dark pyjama pants with white T shirt was not helping in my attempt to calm my nerves.

"Can I come in?" he asked softly and I nodded.

Silly me, blocking the door and staring at my own Shishir!

I must be going crazy because as soon as he closed the door behind him the room which was spacious, infact quite huge somehow felt small. He seemed to fill up the surroundings by his presence.

Stop being so dramatic brain!

I realised he had not spoken a word. I looked at him questioningly and blushed when I saw his eyes were roaming over me just like mine had on opening the door.

Our eyes met and his face broke into a smile. My crazy heart stopped waltzing for a moment and stopped functioning before once again jumping around in my chest.

"I got you something." He said quietly and for the first time I realised he looked slightly nervous.

Why would he be nervous?

"Oh." I said softly and looked at him, wanting him to say more. He drew out his hand from behind to show some paper bags along with a dress bag that he had been holding behind him.

"Will you wear this for me tomorrow at the wedding?" he said softly, his face flushed.

I caught my breath when I realised what was making him so self-conscious. He has given me so many things in the past but those were for me.

For the first time ever he was wanting him to do something for him.

He has been so selfless in everything he has done that he has never really asked what he wants.

I nodded and smiled at him. He held the dress bag out and thrust it towards me almost shyly.

This was s side of Shishir I was seeing after years. He had always been very hesistant to ask for anything for himself. He always put others before himself.

I held his hand and pulled him in towards the bed. Heart thudding I opened the bag.

A light peach gown – the material almost whispery tumbled out. I stared at it mesmerised. The material was so soft and yet it was with a inner lining to keep me warm.

The bronze embroidery work on the upper half was breathtakingly beautiful. Figure hugging at the top it started loosening just after the hip and fell in loose pleats from knew onwards.

"It's beautiful." I said softly.

"Really? You like it?" Shishir asked uncertainly and I put my arm around him laughing softly "I love it." I said honestly.

The smile he gave me was almost boyish. He handed me the other packets. One held a matching shawl. He even thought to get me matching bronze heels and an executive clutch.

"Thank you." I said feeling overwhelmed and looked at the things as they lay on my bed

"My pleasure love." He said holding out his arm and I let him pull me to him.

"I love you Shishir." My head rested on his chest.

"I love you my Suvi."

***

I could barely recognise myself as I stared at myself in the mirror. I hope I can pull it off. Just looking elegant would not be enough. I would never want Shishir to be embarrassed because of me.

Taking a deep breath I stepped out. Shishir stood just outside my room. He rarely wore anything other than business suits and now he almost took my breath away in the dark Armani suit.

He gave me a lazy smile as his eyes swept over me appreciably. I could not help the blush that crept over my face. I saw the dress shirt below the suit was a pale peach that complimented the dark bow tie he wore.

"We match." I said softly pointing towards his shirt.

"Always." He said his eyes dancing with humour.

"Ready?"

I gave a surprised look to my side from where this voice came and saw a grinning Paresh dressed in a dark grey Armani with a crip white shirt and dark bow tie.

"Ready?" he reapted smiling mischievously and I laughed and nodded. I heard Shishir chuckle as the brat tucked my hand under his arm.

Lookibg at Shshir he said "Don't just stand there laughing. Get the car ready."

Shishir raised an eyebrow "Am I your driver?"

"Of course." Paresh scoffed "Why else would I take you along with me?"

I could not hold the laughter as Shishir muttered "Ass" and we moved towards the escalator.

Down in the car Paresh tried to mess with Shishir by trying to pull me to sit with him at the back and danced away out of his reach as Shishir tried to playfully punch him.

After much laughter and chasing between the two brats at last we sat down. As Shishir took his place behind the steering wheel I wondered why he did not start the car.

"There he is at last." Paresh muttered and I realised we had been waiting for Rahul!

"Hey sorry I am late." He said as he sat down beside Pushkar. "You look beautiful Suvarna." He smiled at me.

I smiled at him even as I caught the scowl on Shishir's face. Ever since he and Danny had found out that he and Betty may be wanting to get to know each other both had taken up a defensive stand.

As brothers it was an understandable gesture but both were taking the whole thing a bit too far in their protectiveness!

Shishir's POV.

The wedding ceremony had been beautiful. I had known the Johnson's since a very long time and Eric was an amazing man.

He hand insisted I attend his marriage knowing very well that I did not like socialising much. That was before. Now of course things were different with Suvi back in my life

I could not help but notice that eyes kept looking in the direction of me and Suvi.

I knew many were curious eyes since I had never had a girl beside me before if ever I attended any paty or social gathering. Now not only had I got my arm around a breathtakingly beautiful woman, they were also getting to know her as my fiancée.

What bothered me was that other than the curious eyes there were many admiring eyes aimed in her direction. Too many of them for my liking.

I tightened my arms around her possessively while glaring around at anyone whose eyes were lingering on her.

We were now at the after wedding celebration and the party had a good number of esteemed guests.

A change in music that had been playing made me realise they aere getting ready for the dances post wedding.

"Dance with me?" I said smiling at Suvi.

"Are you mad?" she said sounding stunned and could not hold back my amusement at her look of absolute horror.

This was my Suvi. No pretence or urge to show off.

"Surely I can have one dance with my lady?"

"Not this lady." She said firmly.

"Come on Suvi." I said urging her towards the dance floor.

"Shishir no! I cannot! I have never done it before!"

"What do you think I am? A ballerina?" I laughed "Please? I will guide you love. It's not that I have danced a lot either."

She gave in reluctantly and I pulled her gently. Placing my one hand on her waist I guided her hand to be placed on my shoulder and held her other hand as we started moving with the music.

She was very conscious for the first few steps but soon picked up the rhythm and moved around gracefully.

Looking at her happy face gave me unparalleled joy. As our eyes met I could not help but to pull her closer to me.

I heard her pull in her breath as our faces were close almost touching. Brushing her lips briefly I gathered her to me as we continued to sway softly.

Dancing was no longer a movement as we just swayed to the music her face resting on my chest.

***

"I am going to die." Paresh wailed as he sat with his head resting on the window of the car's back seat on our way back

"It is a wonder how you are still alive!" Suvi quipped.

"Don't be mean to a dying man!"

I did not know whether to laugh at these two or reprimand them as children.

"Paresh why did you eat so much that you can hardly move now?" Rahul's laughed.

"The food was served to be eaten!" he shot back opening the buttons of his suit jacket and rubbed his tummy.

"It was meant to be eaten by hundreds of guests not by one glutton alone." Suvi said turning to look at him as I continued to drive.

"I did not eat much!"

"You almost ate up the entire wedding cake- all the six tiers."

"I barely had two-" He paused when Suvi snorted at his claim "- okay maybe four- not more than six pieces of the cake" he shot at Suvi.

"And of course we would need an accountant to calculate the piles of starters, sandwiches and other stuff you gobbled."

"Why do you always eye my food you evil eyed woman. That is the reason I feel ill."

"You stuff yourself till you go cock eyed and you think I have eyes on your plate?" Suvi fumed. "Fine I will not bother about you. You die peacefully back there."

"I hate you."

"Me too,"

I smiled seeing they were exchanging these words while he leaned forward resting his head on her shoulder from the back and she gently stroked his forehead.

"Shishir stop the car near a chemist." Suvi said as she continued to stroke the brats head.

"You will take care of me won't you?" he mumbled his eyes closed.

"I don't want to but I guess I have to." Suvi said pulling his cheek lightly.

"Good. At least you will have one good deed to your credit to your otherwise wasted life."

"I could strangle you right now and that would be my best deed ever."

I started chuckle and Rahul joined me laughing softly.
