"Always remember: marriage is a gift. Allow the revelation to direct your thoughts and habits in marriage." ― Ngina Otiende

Marriage is not just about love. It is more than that. It is about commitment, giving, taking, communicating and understanding. The fact that you want to spend your entire life with someone and be a part of their everyday life means that you are ready to share everything, compromise somewhere, and agree to trust your partner. Marriage stands the test of times when both you and your spouse work towards making things better. And we are tested the most when we face adversities. If you can sail through the adversities as one, as a team, then you have won half the battle.

Since the time the news of mine and Nandini's broke out, it's literally everywhere. All the news channels, news portals has been telecasting this news as a piece of cake. And what to say about social media. My phone hanged because of continuous notifications. I had to close it down to make my phone work again. I wonder why people are so much interested in our personal lives. The worst part is they judge us so much as if we can't have our own choices as we are so called public figure.

Last night was really hectic. First the reception then I also had to take care of the last minute arrangements of our honeymoon. Even though it was supposed to be a month long tour but I can't leave for this long. I am having a tournament in one and half months. So, I need to do practice for that. That's why we will be leaving for 10 days only.

At first, I thought Nandini would be sad hearing it. But being the sweetest soul, she didn't oppose even for ones and agreed with me. I wonder how she is so good. She is too good and naive for this world.

When I got back home, I found her lost, which is a rare sight. At first, I thought maybe it's because our families are leaving tomorrow. So, she is bound to be sad. After all, she has to be alone here.

But when I went near her, I knew the reason was something else. She has read the comments on our pictures in social networking sites and as I had expected most of the comments were from trollers. I had read somewhere that Indian trollers are the worst and I also believe in it.

Seeing me, Nandini tried to hide them but I was fast enough to see them. What is she thinking? If she won't show me, then I wouldn't get to know. I know all this better. But it's the first time she is seeing them. That's why she is feeling this worse. She will get used to this with passing times. She doesn't deserve this but being connected to me, she has to face it.

But I have to talk to her and make her understand things as it's the first time. Thankfully she is smart enough to get it easily what I was trying to explain to her. The smile formed on her face was my peace. Her smile brightens my day.

My slumber broke as soon as Nandini moved out of my grip. But I was too lazy to open my eyes so I decided to see what she was about to do. I could feel her staring at me. I wonder what she must be seeing so keenly. Then I felt her lips on the mole on my face. I know she is obsessed with it even though she never told this to me herself.

Then I could feel her touching my hair and pecking on my forehead. Now I wrapped my arms around her waist. I could imagine her eyes must have grown wide as I couldn't see her face. I smiled in my mind and waited for her to show her face.

Nandini slowly moved down and now I could see her face.
