(Preeti, you don't how am I feeling right now looking at my name vermillionin filled in your hailine. I don't know from how long I want to see you as my bride but you last night you full fill my this wish also.)

"After two month, in mandap, infront of sacred fire I will take sath phere (seven) with you holding your hands and tie the knote of mangalsutra of my name around your neck infront of our family. God and Goddess will be blessed us when I finally make you mine and connect our body in one on our suhagraat (First night)." He whispered still touching his lips to my hand and closed eyes.

I can't take more and I hugged him immediately due to blushing. He also hugged me back and tightened his hold around me while pulling me more close to him. He hide his face in the crook of my neck amd inhale deeply.

"I love you." He whispered in my ear and I hide my face in his chest because of the intensity of the moment. I can't reply him because I can't find my voice but I know he understands and heard my unsaid words that I also love him as he loves me.

*****

We both pulled apart from the hug when his phone started ringing. He picked it up when he saw it was from Keerti.

"Yes, She is with me." He said while lookjng at me and I lowered my head down when he keep looking at me with his burning gaze.

....

"Okey, We are coming downstairs." He said and then hang up.

"Come, everyone is looking for us." He said and then forward his hand towards me to hold it. I gave him a soft smile and hold his hand. He kissed at the back of my hand and intertwine our fingers. After giving me a lovely smile we both walked outside the room holding eachother's hands.

*****

Siddharth and I, we both are walking in the corridor hand in hand, going towards downstairs, where everyone was waiting for both of us, I stopped on my track when my eyes met with Rikki. Siddharth also stopped when I stop. Rikki was standing infront of us and her eyes were fixed on Siddharth and my intertwine hands. Her eyes met with me and I saw hatred in her eyes for me.

Her words are still echoing in my mind, what she said to me. She told me that I don't deserve Siddharth, I am not worthy for his love. Her words still affecting me. I lowered my head and left Siddharth's hand.

But instantly Siddharth hold my hand and intertwine our hands again. He make me faced to him and looked at me with love and concern. He leaned to me and whispered in a firm voice while caressing my cheek lovingly,"Don't let her effect you. Remember, I love you more than anyone can imagine."

I closed my eyes when I feel his lips on my forehead and he kissed me on my forehead like he was poring his all love in that small pack and meant to every word. I immediately relax under his touch and let go away all negative thoughts from me.

I turn to face Rikki and she was looking at me with jealousy. She stomped her feet on floor and walked away from there.

Some people never change.

Siddharth again hold my hand and we both went to downstairs hand in hand.

****

As we walked outside the house, I immediately leave Siddharth's hand when I saw everyone was outside waiting for us. Tough Siddharth was reluctant to hold my hand and glared at me to hold his hand but I hide my hand behind me back.

I can't hold his hand infront of our families.

"Sid, dude where were. We were looking for you in whole house." Nick and James walked to us and looked at both of us mischievously. I looked down and my face turn into crimson red.

"It's none of your business, where were I." Siddharth said without affecting their amusing looks.

"Well it was our business, when it cime to you and our pretty Preeti." Nick said looking at me but I didn't dare to look at him, because they know I was with Siddharth in his room.

Before Siddharth could reply ti Nick Keerti amd Pooja walked to me.

"Bhabhi..come everyone is waiting for you." At right time Keerti and pooja came for my rescue. Keerti hold my hand and drag me outside. I looked back to Siddharth and found him looking at me with love and Passion.

When I came outside my family along with Neeta maa and Akhil dad stood tnear their cars.

"Where is Sid?" Akhil dad asked looking behind me.

"Where were you?" Shivani asked me in a whisper.

"Di..I..I..." I don't know how to tell her that, I was with Siddharth.

"Here is Sid ji." We all turned and saw Siddharth walked to us with Nick and James.

Thankgod he came outside on right time and saved me from Shivani di's questions.

Siddharth walked forward and took blessings from Mummy and Papa to take the blessings from them.

"May god give you all happiness in the world." Mummy motherly caressed Siddharth's head and blessed him.

"My happiness lives with you. I just want her." Siddharth said while looking at me and I looked down while smiling shyly.

"Don't worry, I will take care of her till you come to our house with barat." Everyone broke into laugh at mummy's comment but turn into beetroot and didn't dare to raise my head to look anyone.

After a moment I composed myself and walked forward to took blessings from Neeta maa and Akhil Dad.

I bent down and touch Neeta maa's feet. She took me in a hug and blessed me.

"After two month we will come with barat and took you with us as my Siddharth's bride." Neeta maa said while caressing my head motherly and looked between Siddharth and I who was standing just beside Neeta maa and grinning shyly while looking down. I also looked down while smiling with my red cheeks. After that I touched Akhil Dad's feet and he also told me to come fast in my real home.

Keerti had tears in her eyes when she took her good bye. Everyone sit on the car except Siddharth. He was standing near the driving seat of car and looking at me. My eyes welled up in tears when I looked at him. He is going back to Newyork, away from me. His eyes holding the same emotions as mine. We both are not ready to go away from eachother and hold eachother forever. It was feeling like he was taking my heart with him and leaving his heart to me.
