Chalo Bhag chalte hain

Part Six- Bliss

Shiva awakened sometime later and noticed a blister on Raavi's wrist. He had by accident gripped that wrist earlier. He took some ointment and put it on the affected area. He stroked her hair back.

He could not believe still that she loved him back. She had shown him tonight that she trusted him implicatively.

He laid down beside her,and wrapped the blanket so that they both could be comfortable.

In the morning, Raavi slowly opened her eyes. She realized the state they were in and blushed .

She did not regret the progression in their relationship but she was uncertain as to how to manage the aftermath of this growth.

Where did they go from here?

Of course now that he had told their family they were also on a renewed attempt at a honeymoon, she realized he wanted the same thing as her.

They should make the best of things for the reminder of their trip.

The fresh air from the nearby window made her realize, they never checked before sleeping the night before that they were tightly closed.

She quickly grabbed Shiva's discarded shirt and slipped it on.

It was when she attempted to close to the window she noticed her dear husband had applied ointment to her burn on her wrist.

She smiled to herself and turned back to pushing the window down.

She didn't have the strength but suddenly she felt a strong pair of arms around hers, and as solid muscular torso.

His body heat consumed her.

His warm breath hit her neck.

" I want my shirt back chipkali" he said huskily .

She blushed even more than she had before.

He stepped in front of her and started to unbutton the shirt.

"Shiva tum kya kar ke ho?"

"Apni shirt babas le lara hoon," he replied nonchantly.

"Please Shiva.."

He picked her up bridal style and entered the washroom.

Once the water was warm and he added the bubbles, he picked her up and placed her in the tub.

"Tum relax karo. I am sure after last night's events, you need to ..."

"Shiva you can join me. I don't mind after all tum mere laute pati ho," she said softly.

He was puzzled.

He did not want to push this new found intimacy on her.

Raavi knew she had to take the lead in this matter.

She hinted at him to come closer.

He did as she told him.

She kissed him with such compassion, and before he realized she had him in the tub with her.

The big splash is what made him realize.

He recalled how they fell into the bathtub once some months ago.

How Krish had caught them and assumed they were romancing.

They both chuckled aloud recalling the same event.

He urged her closer to him and kissed her yet again.

Sometime later , he ran his hand down her spine helping her relax as they dried each other off.

"Raavi tum theek toh ho?"

She smiled back at him knowing why he asked.

" I am fine. Now tell me what is the plan for today?"

" I have to see about the repairs for the bike, but before that I need to get my lauti patni ready for the day," he said with glee.

He started with drying her hair and then revealing he had bought her a new dress . How he had hidden it from her, was beyond her understanding.

They had been traveling via bike. There was no way he could have hidden it there. The only was would be if he put in her duffel when she wasn't looking.

Her husband was full of surprises.

They had breakfast at the main dining area downstairs. Once Shiva found a mechanic, they decided to go out and enjoy the area like the newlyweds they were.

Raavi was happy , Shiva didn't turn into a sappy guy even after the changes in their relationship. She wanted to tell him about the money kaka had left to her name. However she decided to tell him upon their return. She also wanted to help Pandya store grow but revealing this detail had to come at that right time. There was no telling how Prafulla Masi would go on another rant once they got back.

Shiva would nit pick and she would pretend to be difficult at times to keep everything close to normal.

Of course they weren't normal or typical in any way.

They were unique in their own ways. They would always be, she knew deep in her heart.
