Harsh and Tiya were ready for their trip to Delhi. Everyone was already surprised by the new avatar of Harsh, but as it was for the better they were all happy for him. Harsh was packing his stuffs when Tiya entered with a sullen look on her face. She was glaring fire at him, if looks could kill Mr. Harsh Mehta he might have been burnt long ago. She said with a gloomy face,
"Mr. Akdu are you trying to anger me to death, can you not let me live in peace after what you said last night. You think I'm bad so be it, you think I'm a gold digger so be it but are you trying to interfere in between my job too so that I have no way out."
Harsh was feeling guilty because of his words but he suddenly realized what Tiya called him he stared at her and asked her questioningly,
" What did you call me Tiya? You dare repeat it and if you do just be ready for the consequences." Harsh snorted and moved towards her. Tiya was a little scared now but her ego was pushing her forward, she didn't want to back off easily so she gathered her courage and stood infront of him with her toes raised till she reached his chin.
" Do I look afraid Mr. A...K....D....U ? I will call you that only from now on, you arrogant and most insensible monster." Tiya's anger flared now she tried her utmost to not get angry but seeing his attitude still not changing she couldn't help but get angry on him.
" I'm not a monster do you get it but, if you like me being a monster I can show and also.... become a monster for you." Harsh suddenly held by her waist and suddenly started tickling her. Tiya burst out laughing, she didn't understand what Harsh is trying to do with her why is he behaving so weirdly with her now what has gotten into his rotten brain. She was going insane he was tickling her nonstop.
" What were you saying marshmallow I didn't hear you, can you repeat it I'm eager to hear it now." Harsh said while tickling her. Although he was tickling her but didn't know why his heart had ripples in them. They were making him go crazy he touched her uncousiouly on her waist but he realized that her skin is so soft and smooth. He couldn't help but want to hold her more closer to himself. With the last bit of rationality he left her, she was almost crying now with laughter. Tiya was amazed that was the first time Harsh has gotten so close towards her.
" Are you done Harsh your crazy why do you do that?" Tiya complained.
" I like it do you mind marshmallow?" Harsh said with a wicked smile. He wanted to get close to her because he didn't know why but without his permission she has already intruded his boundaries but the most funny part is that he liked this little intruder.
" Tiya I know what I said to you last night might have hurt you but these thoughts of mine can't be changed over a night because....." he didn't continue afraid of sharing his past. Although he decided to give himself a second chance but he still couldn't open up to her.
His insecurities were more than anything even more than the feelings he had for her which were growing little by little. He wanted to share his mind because he wanted her to understand him and know him but didn't have enough courage to tell her anything. He hesitated a bit but said,
" I have my worries which I don't want to tell you about now, although we married in a haste but I want to..... I want to give this marriage a second chance, want to give us a chance and also want to give myself a chance. Can I get a chance from you I want to be good to you but will you let me do it?"
Harsh almost sounded so pitiful that she lost her anger in his eyes, she wanted to scold him but decided against it. She loved him to no end but he infuriated her so much that she wanted to bash his head, controlling her anger she went forward held his chin and spoke with confidence,
" Mr. Akdu do you think I'm easy to deal with you hurt me so badly that I almost lost hope in marriage but seeing your performance since the morning I want to be friends with you and yes the same goes to you, don't cross my boundaries I will burn you without an ounce of mercy."
Harsh shuddered when he heard her, since when was Harsh Mehta ever threatened but why did he feel so good as if she was trying to order him because she accepted him as her husband. He became soft and told her,
" Yes marshmallow your wish is my command ma'am. Lets be friends first and then lets move forward slowly.. slowly...." Harsh moved forward towards her, Tiya backed off and saw danger as he was having a wicked smile on his face. She suddenly got an idea she stomped her foot on his foot and ran towards the door with a smile on her face. While running towards the door she turned and looked at Harsh who had a painful expression she wanted to apologize but recalling his moves she decided against it and thought it served him right for his stupidity.
She looked at him after coming out of her thoughts and said, " Harsh aap bags niche lekar aayiye jab aapka ho jaye hume airport ke liye nikalna hai toh please thoda jaldi and.... mujhe punctual log jyada pasand hai chahe woh mere khudke pati hi kyu na ho."
Harsh looked at her stunned did she really call him her husband and aren't they friends who so much formality between them that she called him 'aap' but still she sounded as sweet as a cuckoo. He gave her a nod and she left to take some snacks to pack as she knew her dear husband can't eat outside food and he was very picky too which was like a sweet trouble for her.
She entered the kitchen to be trapped by the mother son duo who were waiting for her to answer their questions about Harsh's changed behavior, Tiya was speechless how can she tell when she herself was clueless about it. She still looked at them and Gayatri came forward and embraced her with a small smile on her face. She hugged Tiya and said,
" Thank you bachhe for getting my Harsh back I have no words to convey it to you, because they cant even reach the level of happiness you have given me by it." Gayatri had tears in her eyes but she still couldn't help thanking Tiya.
She parted with her and Abhishek jumped to her and said, " Bhabhi are you serious you changed him so fast in just one night? I literally underestimated your power but now I'm sure that if anyone can get bhaai out of his world is only you."
Tiya wanted to know what happened with Harsh and why does he think so lowly of woman as a woman herself she can't accept her own husband to despise the species of woman she would love to get respect from him and also some...love? Will she ever get although she is doubtful but still she trusted her shiv and she knew whatever he does he do it for the betterment of her.
Tiya looked at Abhishek she badly wanted to know about it and she opened her mouth to ask and suddenly Harsh's voice came asking her, " Did you see my watch I just kept it on the bed to wear it later?"
" Is it the place where you keep all the things check I have kept it on the dressing table." As Tiya was a neat freak she couldn't tolerate the mess he created while getting ready. She glared at him but didn't look at him too much because her mother-in-law was right at the back. Abhishek seemed to be chuckling as he saw a complicated expression on his poor elder brother.
Harsh wasn't ready to hear her sound as if he was a dirty freak that he didn't know what to say, he looked towards her and gave his not so innocent smile before saying , " We just married last night are you already so excited to correct my bad habits so soon aren't you rushing wifey?"
Listening to his words Tiya was as red a tomato he blushed like hell she looked towards her mother and saw her giving her mysterious smiles which was making her more embarrassed, does he really want her to die with embarrassment she really wanted to dig a grave and lay there avoiding this shameless guy who has no filter in his mouth.
They completed their packing and reached airport. They sat in their respective places and soon Harsh leaned on her shoulder, " I'm tired can I sleep for a while?" He spoke in his tired voice. Tiya melted in his babyish voice and without saying anything let him lean on her. This was their first trip together although its not their honeymoon who normal people go to after marriage but she was happy even with this small step of his.
