~~~~~~~~ The One Shot Begins ~~~~~~

As all the rituals get over, the newly wed bride waits for her husband in his room. She tries her best to stay wide awake with all the patience. After tackling with his sister-in-laws (saaliyan), he enter his room, reminiscing her sight. 'Acha hua aap aa gaye. Mujhe bahut neend aa rahi hai. Kya mein change karke sone jaa sakti hu?' Her words broke his thoughts. 'Haa, kyun nahi. I know, yeh rituals bahut tiring hote hai. Even I am exhausted. Why don't we do a thing?' He was interrupted by his better half. 'Actually, I am not ready for it.' She spoke with lowered head. He chuckled 'I didn't mean that. Mera matlab yeh tha, jab tak tum accessories nikaalogi tab tak mein freshen up ho jaaunga. It will save some time, I think' He dashed himself in the washroom with his simple night clothes and towel.

After 15 minutes or so, he walked out of the restroom, drying with his hairs and shocked to see state of his bed. She sensed his presence, she stood up with a jolt, biting her nails. He scoffed and scolded her 'Aap bahut bure ho. Mujhe aapki baat pasand nahi aayi' Before she could apology, he added 'Nail biting is very bad habit. Agar next time aap ne kiya naa toh hum aapse baat nahi karenge' Still, she wasn't relieved and apologized 'Actually, mujhe mere kapde nahi mil rahe hai. Pata nahi kahan hai. I am really sorry. Mein abhi yeh sab samet thi hu' 'Vo baat aisi hai, aapke kuch samaan Nisha di ke ghar hai. Vo saare samaan sab 3 din ke baad aayenge idhar.' He tried to calm down her nervousness. Making a perfect O between her lips, she assured herself 'I get it. Mein kitni bhari lehenga aur blouse so nahi paaungi. Mere saare gharpe pehne wale kapde dusre bagguage me hai, jo ab 3 din baad aayenge. Sooooo' She stretched 'so' so long in thinking, what has to be done next. In meanwhile, he forwarded his Man United jersey to her. 'You know, you are just thinking too much. Aaap aisa karo, pahele change kar lo. Abhi ke liye aap mera jersey pehen lo. Kal mera credit card leke jaana shopping ke liye' She took his favorite jersey in her hand, the jersey which he never shared with his own brothers and suppressed her smile, dashed herself into the washroom. 'Aur haan, aap ke liye bucket me paani garam kar ke rakha hai' He just remembered about it after she entered.

Looking herself in the mirror, she realized why her 2-year old relation with ex never worked. She finally found her Mr.Perfect. It took more than an hour to undo her attire, bathe and cover herself in his favorite jersey, which was too long for her. As he stepped out, she found him, folding all her clothes messed on his bed. Before she drop her clothes held in her hand, he asked 'Kya aap vo kapde mere chair pe rakh sakti hai?' She nodded, as if he was looking at her and proceed to do the same. She lend a helping hand 'Jee, mein karti thi. Aap sab neeche phenk dete.' He continued 'Actually, I rested in this state of my bed for a while. Then, I got bored and thought, why not help you out. So I started folding both of our clothes.' She grabbed few clothes from remaining bundle of clothes lying on the bed and carried their conversation further 'So, you are football fan.' 'Was, Is and Forever. It's my undying love. Aur football match ke chakkar me meri ex ne mujhe chodh diya! Acha hi hua, kyunki usse sirf paise matlab tha aur my craze for football saved me. It actually made me realized she wasn't the one' He paused, realized what blunder he just created. She quickly folded the last piece and kept in the wardrobe space allotted by him, few minutes back. Before he apology, she questioned 'So, you still love your ex. I think you aren't over her yet. Aap ne yeh baat mujhe pahele kyu nahi batayi. You will judge me for my past, am I right' It took a hell lot of courage to confront her husband on the first night of arranged marriage. He was going crazy over himself for such act of stupidity, his talkativeness and his willing to open himself quickly to a strange lady, I tell you ! 'Mujhe aapko ek baat batana hai' She pulls down his jersey frequently while he worries about oversizing of his favorite jersey. 'Vo mein .. ' She stammers at every single letter of the word. 'Aap boliye bhi.' He freaks out at intensity and audibility of her sentence. She closes and says it in a go 'I was in relationship with a guy for 3 years. I have a massive history. He holds major chunk of the past.' He decrease the proximity between them. 'Hey, it's okay. Even I have past. I am not going to judge for that.' She adds 'I gave my virginity to him.But it took 2 years to get over him. It was really hard decision to hitch my life to someone who is stranger, according to me.' She decided to be vulnerable to her life partner. Soon, she found herself in cozy embrace of her husband. She found a peace in that embrace which she never found in her exes. She was introduced to the whole new world, that lies in the loop of his arms. Finally, she couldn't take it longer and had a breakdown. 'Shhh .. First night ko aisa kaun rota hai. Kisne sun liya naa tumhara rona meri class lag jaayegi' She unintentionally tapped near his chest with fake anger. He added 'If my ex really matter to me, it would struck with her forever. I never want that to happen. Everyone believes, past haunts when future is bright and easy going. But it's not true. At some point of our life, you will miss him and I will miss her. Let's try our best to forget them. As long as we trust each other with complete loyalty, we would be happy forever. Life is really short to hide your feelings and let it be great for eternity. I want to say, I am more interested in our future.' She was so overwhelmed that she forgot the fact, he was her husband who just met her few months back. She immediately locked his lips, making him awestruck. 'Shh .. No more words .. Only touch and feel' She uttered those words as she pulled out his shirt. He licked her earlobes and whispered 'That's the perk of marrying non-virgin bold lady. All yours for tonight and forever' She pounded on him, resulting his loss in balance. Both were all over the bed. Getting exhausted after hot and wild makeout, they dozed off to sleep.
