The Seven Phases Of Marriage

IV. I TURN TO YOU

I've noticed some new readers on last update! Thank you for picking my book! Do say 'Hey' to me :)

A fourth phase of their marriage! The phase everyone has been waiting for including me💜💜

Excited?😁

Kasi Yatra: It's a ritual performed in South Indian marriage where the groom gets ready to go to Kasi and remain celibate. The bride's brother requests him to marry his sister describing her as a great girl. Tempting him with gifts is a fun segment in modern days. It's nothing related to dowry and is purely for fun.

22. Paradise

❤"Paradise is nothing compared to resting in the arms of your better half!"❤

"Avni...." Siddharth's soft and concerned voice pierced through the silent atmosphere. His baby girl sobbed hard, wiping away her tears. She cried, resting her chin on her knees pulled to her chest.

Avni slowly lifted her head and turned to her right, not believing the voice. She assumed it was all in her head. Her vision was blurred due to tears continuously forming in her eyes.

Avni gently wiped her cheeks and eyes with her cold palm. She hesitantly lifted her lashes, trying hard to ignore the hope that Siddharth was near.

There he stood at a few feet distance with concern evident on his face! The moonlight and few fairy lights in the park brightened his face in that darkness surrounding him.

Avni took a few moments to believe the reality. A teardrop from her cheeks fell onto her palm, and she confirmed her husband's presence.

A river yearns to embrace the ocean!

A plant craves sunlight!

A honeybee searches for flowers!

A fish needs water to survive!

Avni ran into the arms of Siddharth in lightning speed with the same feelings. Time froze, and all she could feel was his presence and touch. Siddharth stumbled with the force but balanced himself soon. He hugged her as she rested her face on his chest and nuzzled against him, not even leaving space for air.

Siddharth rested his palm on her head and hugged her back, whispering sweet nothings. The fact that he loved her was confirmed once again. Her tears stabbed his heart, and her hug completed him.

Avni needed his touch more than oxygen. She cried hard like a little girl sniffing in between and mumbled, "Don... Don't.... leave me!"

"Never ever!" Siddharth kept repeating till her sobs subsided and her grip loosened.

Avni cried silently every single time to date except now. As much as Siddharth hated her tears, he found her cute, crying like a little girl for candy. The way she sniffed after a continuous crying session for two minutes and relaxed for a moment, and began again recalling something he doesn't know yet was a treat to watch.

Little did Siddharth realize he was her candy, but he knew Avni was a part of his soul.

Siddharth smiled as she lifted her lashes and looked into his eyes after an exhaustive session. Those hazel blue orbs are as deep as an ocean. Drowning into them is a sweet adventure he's looking forward to.

His thumb grazed across her cheeks, gently wiping away her dried tears, and she blushed a deep shade of crimson red. Her stomach was in knots as her skin burned under his touch.

"If your cheeks color with a small touch, I can't imagine your face when we kiss," Siddharth whispered in her ear, giving her goosebumps.

Avni hugged him tight, hiding her face in his chest, and he laughed. He wanted to whisper his eternal love for her, but he had plans for that.
