Why's she so far

Mayukh POV:

She had gone to sleep with her back towards me. The moonlight gave me a clear view of her back, something I don't need right now. Her salwar was also designed in a way that I could see her back above her chest. I could see her addictive mole and her braided hair which partially covered it.

She looked like an angel today. Truly beautiful. She took my breath away when she came and I don't think it's back yet. I couldn't stop staring at her. She was a simple yet an elegant bride. I purposely wanted us to wear the same mangalsutras we had because that was an indication of our marriage; it proved we were already married. I knew she was scared seeing the fire and the wedding venue, I saw her hands shake. I held them to make her feel at ease.

Why's she so scared of me? What did I do? Why did she think I'd want to get physical instantly? Why do her eyes scream fear when I want them to scream love?

I was deep in my thoughts when she suddenly moved, so I closed my eyes pretended to sleep so she doesn't get more scared.
Within a minute, I felt her eyes on me, but I also felt her removing my hair strand from my face and covering me with a blanket. I felt my heartbeat increase. She was beautiful inside out.

I kept my eyes closed for a minute before opening them, only to see her deep asleep looking at me. Her lips, her eyes, her skin.... She is so addictive.

I got up the next morning and found Nikita missing. She probably got up. I went to the washroom, did my business, showered, and got dressed in a kurta and came downstairs.

I saw Nikita cooking, with Bruno in the kitchen as he played around her. What was she doing? I walked closer to her and leaned against the door. Wow she's hot.
Her red saree, her pallu being tucked in her waist, revealing her waist, her wet hair loosely braided. She is beauty personified.
"Ahem ahem." Omisha chuckled as she stood near me. I looked away in embarrassment.
"Chill Dada. You are allowed to look at Boudi." She teased.
I rolled my eyes playfully, "what's she cooking? Don't we have people for that?"
"Yes, but it's her pehli rasoi ritual, a newly bride cooks something sweet."
"She had cooked something when she entered the house two years back too, you know!"
"She has already done this ritual."
"She's been the bride of this house for 2 years now."
"Oh ho! I'd say go help her but I can't, and she's done now, so sit down, we're coming!" She said and went to Nikita.

I sat in the dining room with everyone while she came and served us all the dish. Indrani! Damn!
"Nikita? You know how to make this?" Mom asked.
"I learned it..." she said, looking down.
"When?"
"Umm.... Last...last night. Sorry."
Why's she embarrassed man? I have to help her.
"Wow.... For someone who learned this 12 hours ago.... This is too good! Too too good!" Dad said.
"I agree. It's made beautifully." Mom smiled.
"Nikdu makes the best food. I already told you guys!" Bhai added and Bhabhi smiled.

I tasted it. It was heavenly. I looked at her and smiled, "it's really good."
"Wow! You really have done something beta!" Mom said, holding her hand, "For someone like Mayukh, who hates sweet dishes, to compliment you, congratulations!"
She smiled. Her heavenly smile.
Then she sat down and we all had lunch.

"Arre, don't forget, we need to go to Nikita's house for the pag phera, okay? Everyone be ready at 6pm!" Mom said and everyone nodded.
"Chalo! Excellent lunch! I'll get back to office work now." Dad said.
"Me too." Bhai added.
"I'll also rest with Reyansh for a bit." Bhabhi said and Mom agreed, "I'll have to feed Reyansh too." Saying so, she left the room.
"I'll also join you in a bit Dad." I said.
"No. Absolutely not. You're going to stay with your wife today!" Mom said and Nikita looked at her in partial shock.
"Mom, I'm sure even she has work."
"She has submitted her thesis and is free now, you need to be free too. Go to your room and talk to each other."
Nikita got up taking our plates inside and went to arrange them in the dishwasher.
"Mom... She seems scared of me, what do I do?" I sighed, drinking water.
"She'll be fine, give her sometime. If it's the wedding jitters it'll go in a bit. If it's something else then get to the bottom of it, else it won't go." Mom said and got up. I nodded.
