The next morning was a beautiful start to a wonderful future for Rishmi. Lakshmi woke up first and smiled seeing Rishi on his side. Everything was perfect. She has the love of her life and her family. She was living her dream. She kissed Rishi on the forehead and got up from the bed and went to freshen up and get ready. She came out of the washroom all fresh and smelling like a bouquet of flowers. She went and sat beside Rishi and tried waking him up by tapping on his arm. There was no response so she used the oldest trick in the book. She let her wet hair touch his face. Rishi was sleeping peacefully dreaming of his lady love when suddenly it started raining in his dream. He felt water on his face forcing him to open his eyes. He then realised it was not rain rather his wife trying to wake him up. She saw him open his eyes and started.
Lakshmi: Kya hai Rishi tum uthte hi nai ho. Itni kya neend hai tumhari. Chalo jaldi karo. Warna breakfast ke lie late ho jaoge.
Rishi held her hand and pulled her towards himself.
Rishi: To aise uthaengi aap mujhe madam.
Lakshmi: Maine tumhe itni baar bulaya tum uth hi nai rhe the to karna pada mujhe aise.
Rishi: Jo bhi hai, maza bahot aaya. Roz subah aise hi khoobsurat nazara dekhte hue uthna hai mujhe. Aur ab na hum ek ritual banate hai jo hum roz subah mere uthne ke baad karenge.
Lakshmi: Ritual, kaisa ritual
Rishi moves up and surprises her with a kiss on her lips. He kisses her and she also responds getting lost in the kiss. After sometime Rishi lets her go.
Rishi: Ab ye hamara roz ka morning ritual hoga
Lakshmi: Tum bhi na Rishi. Dekh rhi hoon main aajkal kuch jyada hi badmash ho gye ho
Rishi: Arre apni biwi ko kiss karne me kaisi badmaashi. Kisi aur ki biwi ko thodi kar rha hoon
Lakshmi: Kisi aur ke baare me socha bhi na to bahot maarungi
Rishi: Don't worry main kisi aur ladki ke baare me nai sochunga. Bas dekhunga
Lakshmi gets happy at the first sentence but makes a hawwww expression at the second one. She tries to hit him but he holds her hands and kisses them.
Rishi: Just kidding sweetheart. Tumhare alawa koi nai hai mere lie.
Lakshmi: Bas bas subah subah bahot ho gya. Ab jao aur fresh ho jao fatafat..
Rishi goes to the washroom. Lakshmi gets ready and goes down. In sometime she comes to the room with Rishi's black coffee. She keeps the coffee on the bedside table and is going back down to help with breakfast. She turns and then gets stuck at her place. Her eyes were transfixed at the fine sculpture of a man in front of her, Rishi has just come out after a bath with just a towel wrapped around his lower body. He was trying to set his wet hair by running his hand through it. Droplets of water were running down his body getting lost somewhere in the towel lodged at his waist. Lakshmi couldn't help but admire this guy who was her husband. She got those strange feelings again. She wanted to be so close to him and touch him and kiss him senseless. She wanted to drown in the passion she was feeling. Rishi looked at Lakshmi staring at him up and down. He realised what she was thinking. He made his way to her and held her engulfing her with both his hands. Lakshmi realised what she was doing and quickly looked down out of embarrassment.
Rishi: Don't worry Mrs. Oberoi, poora ka poora tumhara hi hoon. Tum jitna chaho mujhe ghoor sakti ho
Lakshmi: Main. Main nai ghoor rhi thi
Rishi: To maine kab kaha tum ghoor Rahi thi.. main to keh rha hoon ghoor sakti ho. Aur chaho to usse jyada bhi kuch kar sakti ho
Lakshmi: Matlab
Rishi: Matlab
Rishi took her hand with one of his hands and slowly brought it to his face, he made her touch his cheeks and slowly moved her hand to his mouth and lightly kissed her fingers. He then moved her hand further down to his neck and chest. Even he was feeling the passion and wanted to take advantage of this. When Lakshmi's fingers touched his chest, he moaned slightly. Now he wasn't guiding her hand anymore. She had taken control and he was just holding her hand gently. She touched his upper body curious by his reaction and kept moving her hand lower. She stopped right at the hem of the towel. Rishi was lost in the moment looking at her and feeling her hand on him waking up his primal instincts to take her right there right then. Lakshmi realised what she was doing and stopped.
Rishi: Kya hua tumhe. Ruk kyu gyi.
Lakshmi: Wo Rishi. Wo main. Main. Mujhe niche jana hai breakfast banane.
Rishi: Kya yaar Lakshmi tum bhi na sare romance ka kachra kar deti ho.
Lakshmi: Arre, ye koi time hai romance karne ka
Rishi: Romance karne ka koi time nai hota.
Lakshmi: Acha okay baba. Lekin nashte ka aur office jaane ka to time hota hai na. Chalo jaldi se kapde pehno aur niche aa jao.
Rishi: Ab to main kapde tabhi pehnunga jab tum pehnaogi
Lakshmi: Main niche Jaa rhi hoon
Rishi: Soch lo Lakshmi. Mujhe koi sharam nai hai. Main neeche bhi aise hi aaunga aur office bhi aise hi jaunga. Fir jab dusri ladkiya mujhe taadengi to mujhe mat bolna fir.
Lakshmi hits his chest.
Lakshmi: Rishiiii. Theek hai acha mujhe chhoro to tab to pehnaungi na
Rishi: Chhor to nai rha main tumhe.
Rishi kept her in his embrace and moves towards the couch where his clothes were kept.
Lakshmi bent down and took his undershirt and made him wear it. Rishi kept staring at her the entire time. She then made him wear his tshirt and shirt. Rishi had to leave her in order to wear the clothes. She then took advantage of this and ran away asking him to dress up the rest himself.
Rishi came down after getting ready. Everyone is coming slowly to the dining table..
Ahana: Arre bhabhi aap aur Rishi bhai itni subah uth bhi gye. Hume to laga Aaj aap dono late uthoge poori raat soye jo nai hoge
Lakshmi: Kya Ahana tum bhi, kuch bhi bolti ho. Naashte pe dhyan do.
Neelam, Virendra, Karishma and Dadi also come and sit
Dadi: Waise Rishi main soch rhi the ki ab jab shaadi dobara Hui hai to honeymoon bhi dobara hona chahiye. Kyu hai na Aayush
Aayush: Bilkul nani aur iss baar to banta hai
Neelam: Idea to bahot acha hai mummy ji aur iss baar hum apne bete aur bahu ko abroad bhejenge honeymoon ke lie. Suniye Virendra aap please saare arrangements kara dijiye taaki ye dono ghoomne jaa sake.
Lakshmi: Nai mummy ji iski kya jaroorat hai.
Rishi: Arre mana kyu kar rhi ho
Neelam: Sahi keh rha hai Rishi. Mana mat karo Lakshmi. Waise bhi pichle kuch dino me bahot kuch hua hai jisse bahar nikalne ke liye hum sabko ek break ki jaroorat hai. To tum dono jao aur khoobsurat yaadon se apne rishte ki nayi shuruaat karo.
Lakshmi: Par mummy ji break to sabko chahiye na to hum sab saath chalte hai na
Shalu: Haan aunty. Hum sab trip pe chalte hai. Jiju humne aapse ek family trip maangi thi na.. To kya hum wo kar sakte hai
Rishi wanted to go alone somewhere with Lakshmi but he understood how needed this family trip was. He could spend his alone time with her later.
Rishi: Of course jaa sakte. Batao kaha chalna hai
Bani: Amritsar chale. Aur fir waha se na hum aapko hamare gaon ke chalenge. Aap dekhna hamara ghar waha
Virendra: Sounds like a good plan. Kyu Neelam kya kehti ho
Neelam: Ye to bahot acha idea hai. Isi bahane hum sab gaon bhi ghoom aaenge.
Rishi: Maine to kabhi gaon dekha bhi nai hai.
Neelam: Maine khud tab dekha tha jab main choti thi
So the plan was made, they were all gonna go to Amritsar and then Gurdaspur day after tomorrow. Till then Rishi and others would complete all urgent work so that they could enjoy the trip peacefully.
After breakfast everyone gathered in the hall for the chooda rasam of Lakshmi. She had been wearing her wedding chooda for a year now. Today they would be removed and she could wear any kind of bangles then after.
Rishi looked at his wife beeming with happiness. Neelam did the rasam and removed her chooda. She then gave her beautiful diamond kangans and made her wear them. The kangans had Rishi and Lakshmi's initials engraved on them. Then she got shagun from the elders.
After that the men left for office. Shalu and Bani had stayed back. Lakshmi got busy with Shalu and Neelam for arranging the details of the trip. Once the arrangements were done, shalu and Bani requested Neelam if Lakshmi could stay with them for the night. She hadn't been able to stay with them because of the court ruling for 3 months and they wanted to spend time with her. Neelam agreed happily.
Lakshmi came to her room with Shalu Bani.
Lakshmi: Shalu ek baar Rishi se bhi puch leti hoon. Achanak aise chali jaungi to usse acha nai lagega
Shalu: Di jiju ne hume neg dia hai ki tu hamare saath ek din reh sakti aur tu kal shaam tak to wapas aa hi jaegi na.
Lakshmi: Haan wo theek hai shalu. Acha chal bas use bas inform kar deti hoon.
Rishi was sitting in his cabin sorting out work for the coming days but his mind kept going back to Lakshmi. He kept seeing her everywhere.
Just then he saw Lakshmi calling him..he excitedly picked up the call
Rishi: Hello Mrs. Rishi Oberoi, aap bhi mujhe yaad kar rhi thi na
Shalu: Jiju di nai main bol rhi hoon, shalu.
Rishi: Oh sorry Shalu. Par tumne Lakshmi ke phone se kyu phone kia.
Shalu: Wo jiju humne bas inform karne ke lie phone Kia tha ki di hamare saath jaa rhi. Aur ab kal shaam tak wapas aaegi
Rishi: Arre aise kaise. aise nai chalega. Main kaise rahunga uske bagair
Bani: Jiju aapne neg me dia tha na ek din hume. Wohi hai ye.
Rishi: Guys please aise mat karo na. Abhi abhi to mili hai mujhe wo
Shalu: Jiju aap to jaante ho na di 3 mahine se hamare paas nai rhi ye court proceedings ki wajah se. Aur wo poora time aapke sath hi rehti na. Aap bas ek din manage kar lo fir to isne aapke saath hi rehna hai
Rishi kept pleading but he had to accept defeat infront of his saalis.
Shalu gave the phone at the end to Lakshmi and took Bani with her to let Lakshmi talk to Rishi alone
Lakshmi: Haan Rishi bolo
Rishi: Kya yaar Lakshmi kya hai ye. Koi tumhe mere saath akela kyu nai chhorta
Lakshmi: Sab jaante hain na kitne badmash ho tum islie
Rishi: But Lakshmi ek poora din. Main kaise rahunga tumhare bina. Mujhe raat ko neend bhi nai aaegi tumhe dekhe bina
Lakshmi: Rishi main jaldi aa jaungi tum tension mat lo aur tumhe baat karni ho to call kar lena.
Rishi: Hmmm (pouting like a child)
Lakshmi: Ab baccho jaise cute shakal mat banao. Kisi aur ne dekh lia aur tum use pasand aa gye to Mera kya hoga fir.
Rishi: Tumhe kya tum to mujhe chhor ke jaa rhi ho na..
Lakshmi: Bas ek din ke lie baba. Acha chalo ab main jaa rhi hoon. Kal milte hai
Rishi: Haan haan jao jao..meri to koi kadar hi nai hai
Lakshmi: Waise husband, "I love you"
Rishi got so happy hearing her say that
Rishi: I love you too itna Sara (and he blew kisses to her on the phone)
Lakshmi said bye and kept the phone laughing at how cute her husband could be.
