After the chuhi truth is out, and vidyut is arrested - chuhi repents and begs Avneil for forgiveness. Even though they are furious with her they are concerned about mishti so they arrange a guest house for them to stay at. Avni convinces mishti to stay with chuhi and slowly they do start bonding. 1 month later they tell mishti the truth about her mom. Chuhi and mishti move to Pune and start a life afresh there. Avneil finally have a relief from all their problems. Things are finally settling down for them. Bebe, neila , prakash and shweta plan another honeymoon for them because they all feel that avneil really need to spend some time together. At the dinner table:Bebe: tillu beta, avni mujhe pata hai ki pichle kuch mahine aap donon ke liye kaafi streesful tha, tum donon ek dusre ke saath vakt bitaana chahiye. Toh tum log kyun na ek trip plan karo.Neila: haan baccha, it'll be a good break for you both.Neil and avni look at each other with a smile. Shweta: mera paas bahut se ideas hai tillu... tum dono paris jao, nahi nahi Switzerland..thandi thandi weather, bahut romantic hoga. Ya phir MauritiusWatsay?Prakash: Oho shweta ji...baccho ko sochne toh do. Unke bhi shayad kuch plans honge na ki unhe kahan jaana haiAvni- glances at neil... and then hesistantly says. Jee haan, voh actually kya hum discuss kar ke aap sab ko kal parso tak bataye.Neil (surprised, in his mind)- vaah itni easily maan bhi gayi and infact lagta hai wifey ke dimaag me kuch ideas hai! This may be interesting! And he says- haan haan hum aapas me discuss karke batate hain aapkoAfter dinner in the bedroom:Avni was waiting in the bedroom for neil. Neil changes into his pajamas and comes and sits next to avniNeil : Wifey ji toh finally tumhari tubelight jal gayi. Tumhaare paas koi plan he kya hamaare 2nd honeymoon ke liye ?? Kahaan jaane ka iraada hai madam ka? Avni- voh neil actually...koi specific jagah toh nahi hai, but maine socha ki maybe hum ek road trip pe ja sakte hain? Neil: looks at her in surprise- Really? Mujhe laga tum kahi abroad jana chahogi? Avni- face fell. Oh ok. Tumhe idea accha nahi laga.Neil- arey nahi wifey, maine aisa kab kaha. Main bus thoda surprised hoon.Avni- actually mujhe road trips acche lagte hainkoi plan nahi. Bus drive karo and enjoy the sights and sounds of whatever you pass by. mene abhi tak sirf 1 baar kiya bhi hai- delhi se agra tak- but voh akele akele. Toh kaafi lonely feel hua. Aur maine socha tha that maybe someday I'll do a road trip with my friends. But yesterday jab sab humein trip par bhejne ka soch rahe the toh I thought ki hum donon ek saath road trip kar sakte hain. Suddenly she stopped talking and said- but neil its not necessary- agar tum kuch aur karna chaho we can do that too.Neil- Nahi its perfect! wifey, tum toh genius ho yaar. I love the idea of a road trip...aur vaise bhi humne abhi nayi gaadi bhi li hai, so its perfect! But phir bhi koi destination toh hona chahiye na!Avni- kyun? We'll just go wherever the roads take us. Apne aap koi destination tak pahunch hi jayenge. (holding neils hands) And its not the destination that matters, it's the journey na! and she smiles at himNeil: Wow wifey, tum kab se itni romantic ho gayi? Pulls her close and gives her a tight hug- lets do it avni. Me kal ki leave ke liye apply karta hoon. Hum is weekend chalet hain. I think I can get atleast 3-4 days off. I'm sorry but I cant take off longer than that.Avni- smiles wider, 3 days is perfect neil. and turns up to peck his cheek but neil turns his head at the same time so she ends up pecking his lips instead! She immediately withdraws and blushes beet red!Neil- looks at her wide eyed and then breaks into the biggest grin- Wifey tum toh badi chupi rustam nikli! main kabse try kar raha hoon kiss karne ki, aaj finally mera wish poora kar diya tume. Saying that he leans in further and gives her another kiss. This time he gave her a peck and then licked her lower lip with his tongue. Avni gasped and opened her mouth giving neil the perfect opportunity to properly kiss her and taste her lips. They were both feeling tingly. Avni felt butterflies in her tummy and neil could taste her cherry lip balm on her soft lips. He couldn't get enough of the taste. Finally they had to break apart for air, but neil turned to kiss her neck and earlobe. He found a particularly sensitive spot on her neck which earned a slight gasp from avni, causing her to hold him tighter. Neil loved this reaction from his wifey. HE pulled her closer and onto his lap completely and moved up to lean against the headboard of their bed. He continued a trail of kisses along her neck, paying special attention to the sensitive spot. Avni felt like her skin was on fire. She was just enjoying her husbands ministrations. Unconsciously her hands were moving on neil. She was initially holding on to his neck but now one hand was playing with the hair at he nape of his neck, while the other was trailing path from his neck down his trunk to his abs. she was drawing random patterns on his sides, stroking his skin up and down. Neil was loving the feel of her fingers. He moved to whisper in her ear...wifey you feel absolutely amazing and smiled seeing her skin turn red. She looked even better when she blushed! Avni in response decided to give her husband some attention as well and turned to kiss him. She left a trail of kisses along his neck now and Neil was at first shocked but then he just relaxed and enjoyed the feeling of avnis mouth against his skin. HE couldn't describe the feeling in words. E just pulled her as tight to him as possible and moved his hands on her waist. He drew lazy patterns with one hand on her waist and his other hand was lost in her hair pulling her as close to him as possible. Avni had moved up his neck again and then whispered in his ear...I love you.Neil pulled back and gave her the biggest grin ever. He tucked one strand of her hair behind the ear and pulled her closer once more and kissed her square on the lips once again. This time their kiss was even more passionate. Both their hands were wandering all over the other and things were getting quite steamy. Just then neils phone rang loudly startling them both. As neil realised what happened, he let out a grunt of frustration at the interruption and took his phone and was about to turn it off but avni said..baat karlo, important hoga toh. Neil reluctantly answered the call. It was some work related thing which he had to consult his file for so he had to get up off the bed. He shot an apologetic glance at avni and walked to his table to look for the file. But it wasn't there, so he went to the study. He took about 15-20 minute to wrap up the call, but neil was so frustrated at the timing. When he walked back into the room, turning off his cell phone he saw Avni struggling to keep her eyes open. She looked adorable. As soon as she saw him, she sat back up straight trying to keep her eyes wide open. Neil came back to the bed and pulled avni into him and said.. sorry wifey, thoda time lag gaya but lagta hai tum kaafi tired ho. Chalo lets sleep. Avni- nhi nahi..its ok. I'm not sleepy.Neil- laughs and says- vaah wifey- aaj tabiyat toh thik hai tumhaari. Aaj itni enthusiasm for romance kahaan se aaya? Avni- blushes once moreNeil- avni yaar- tum jab aise tamatar ke tarah laal ho jaati ho toh bahut zyaada khubsurat lagti ho..kasam se! but I can see ki tum thak gayi ho. Toh hum baadme continue karlenge...vaise bhi hum dono ab akele trip pe bhi jarahe hain toh uske liye bhi thodi romance bacha ke rakhte hain.He made her lie down, turned off the lights and then lay down himself pulling the duvet over them. He pulled her closer and whispered in her ears...goodnight wifey! Avni- goodnight neil.Both of them had a peaceful sleep in each others arms. Finally it was just the two of them. All the drama was over and they could just enjoy each others presence like a normal married couple. Neil was the first to wake up in the morning when he heard avni mumble in her sleep-he couldn't make out what she was saying...it was unintelligible sounds and then she smiled in her sleep and snuggled closer to him. Neil just felt his heart swell. This was the best feeling ever. The love of his life was in his arms and she looked peaceful and content, He thought about how cute it was that she talked in her sleep. He remembered how she had spoken in her sleep before when she talked about not letting him go. That was the day he got confirmation of her feelings for him. He knew that she had a tough time expressing herself but he was glad that atleast in her sleep she let down her defences a little. As he thought about her he realised how far they had come. And last night she had been quite expressive physically as well. He smiled as he remembered that it was she who initiated their first kiss although she hadn't intended to kiss him on the lips but still! He knew yesterday was the first of many more to come! HE kept gazing at the woman in his arms, stroking her hair and watching her... she looked very innocent as she slept. A few minutes later he noticed a twitch on her face and her eyebrows furrowed. She was starting to wake up. He decided to pretend to be asleep again and quickly shut his eyes. Avni gradually opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was her husbands handsome face. She tried to get up but his grip on her was quite strong, so she decided to just lie back down. She turned a little bit to get a better look at him. As she stared at him she let her mind wander to some of her favourite memories with him. She felt incredibly lucky that she found someone like him. She didn't know or believe in love but today she was just brimming with so much of it for the man in front of her. She leaned forward and pecked his forehead and as she drew back she saw a hint of a smile on his face and she immediately realised that he was faking sleep! So she decided to play a bit more and moved her head closer to his ear and suddenly let out a scream. Neil was startled and woke up with a jolt.Neil mock glared at her and said...kya wifey aise kaun uthate hai subah subah. Avni just laughed and said...aise hi uthate un logon ko joh sone ka natak kar rahe ho!Neil- realised he had been caught and just smiled at her and pulled her onto him suddenly.Acha ab uth hi gaye hai toh good morning toh wish karo!Avni- good morning neil. Neil- Kya boring good morning wish hai yeh! Joh thodi der pahle kiss karke wish kar rahi thi vaisi waali wish chahiye. And he pulled her closer.Avni- blushed and said- please neil chodo nah...dekho 8 baj gaye hai. Hume tayyar bhi hona hai. Chalo. And she tried to get up but neil wouldn't hear any of it. His grip on her was too tight.Neil- tum jaanti ho main nahi chodunga. Toh tumpe hai ki hum aise kitni der baithe rahenge. And he leans forwardAvni- decides to just give in to her husband and gives him a small peck on his lips and says...good morning husband. Please abhi toh chodo. Neil- grins at her and says- ye sabse best morning hone waali hai. He lets her get up and decides to go freshen up. Before he went into the bathroom he gave her another peck on her forehead before going to his wadrobe, getting his towel and walking in to the bathroom. Once he was out, avni went in to get ready. Neil changed into his clothes and was looking through his phone for any messages and sending replies. He was just catching up with the news feed on his phone when he noticed avni walk out. His breath was just stuck in his throat. She looked amazing as she walked out after a shower. Her wet hair with droplets trickling onto her neck. She had worn a blue kurta which looked amazing on her. Neil walked towards her in a trance. Avni felt his presence and immediately started walking back. Finally he had her caged near the wadrobe. He leaned in once again and pecked her cheeks. The smell of her shampoo hit his nose and he just took in a deep breath, She smelt amazing. It was a mild fragrance but it was fresh and his senses were on overdrive. He looked at her and pushed back a strand of her wet hair. Neil- kya hua wifey yeh naya kurta pahna hai tumne, not saree. How come?Avni- (smiled enjoying the feeling of just being with her neil)- aaj bahut khush hoon, this is the best mood ever - toh socha kuch naya pahan leti hoon. And I really wanted to wear the color blue today I had this new blue kurta so I decided yehi pehen leti hoon.Neil- blue kyun? Tumhara fav color toh red haina?Avni- mr.supercop- tum bhi tubelight hi ho! She walked closer and wound her arms around his neck and said mera fav color change ho gaya hai. Now its blue because it reminds me of someone's name!Neil- finally understanding! Accha...and who is that?Avni- Whispers in his ear- mera Neil.Neil- Just pulls her into a hug and they both just enjoy the moment before breaking apart. Avni- chalo nashta karna hai. Tum jao , main do minute mein ready hoke aati hoon!Neil- nahi- tum ready ho jao. Saath me hi chalenge. And just sits back on the bed watching her get ready. She found matching earrings and a bracelet to wear. And then she finished of her look by wearing her mangalsutra and she was about to pick up her sindoor when neil suddenly exclaimedAvni, wait. Tumne check kiya haina...sindoor hi hai na? color toh nahi hai?Avni- just smiled at his concern and saidhaan neil. I bought a new box of sindoor. So don't worry. Neil- walked up to her and said May I?Avni smiled and handed over the box to him. He filled in her maang and as usual a little bit fell on her nose which he wiped of with his finger!Avni- acha chalein.At the breakfast table: all the elders saw the happy and glowing faces of avneil and felt thrilled that things were finally getting normal for them and they after all the stress over the last several weeks they looked relaxed and completely in love with each other. The elders saw the keep on sneaking glances and smiles at each other throughout breakfast. All of them just blessed the beautiful couple in their head and wished that they would always be happy together like this! After breakfast- Neil told avni- mein nikalta hoon. I have only a little bit of work today. Leave ke liye bhi apply kar loonga and hum kal raat nikalte hain!Shweta- Arey vaah- tum dono toh bade fast nikle. Itni jaldi decide bhi hogaya? So what is the plan? Kahaan ja rahe ho- lemme guess- Paris correct?Neil- nahi ma- voh actually hum ek road trip karna chahte hain.Shweta- Road trip? Voh kya hai bhai? Jaa kaha rahe ho?Neil- Voh hum raaste mein hi decide kalrnege!Shweta- Kya??! Avni beta tumne kya decide kiya hai- koi acchi si exotic location pe jao na! Avni- Nahi mummyji. Mujhe loction se koi farak nahi padta hai. neil ko sirf 3-4din chutti milenge and maine socha ki flight aur hotel ki booking me time bitaane se accha hum aise hi nikal padein!Neil (in his head)- his wifey was amazing...she just wanted to spend maximum time with him. She understood the pressures of his work too. he realised that her hopes and dreams were very simple And she was a lot more spontaneous than he expected. He was now even more excited to go on this trip with avni and discover more aspects of her.Prakash- arey jahaan jaana hai jao. As long as u r enjoying ur break its good! Neil Accha mein chalta hoon. Avni decides to walk him to the door. She stood at the door while he started his car.Neil had just reversed his vehicle and saw avni leaning against the door. He felt a surge of happiness. HE turned around , blew her a kiss and waved bye n before he left.Avni waved back with a smile too.Neil reached home early that evening at 4-430 itself. As soon as he got home his eyes searched for avni. But she was nowhere around. He was just about to call for her when bebe saw him and said- avni bahaar gayi hai. Thodi der me aayegi aisa kahke gayi he. Neil- (sad) oh okBebe- laughed- jaldi aajayegi. Tooh fresh hoke aaja, mein chai leke aati hoon.Neil- embarrassed- and walks up to his room- and smiles looking at their pics on the wall.He freshened up and decided to wait for his wifey. Suddenly he noticed her laptop on the table and it was open , since he was bored he decided to take a look. To say he was surprised was an understatement! Neil saw the tabs that were open and was quite shocked. He realised he didn't know too much about his wife at all. They had been so caught up with so many dramas one after the other that they hadn't just talked to each other like normal couples! But Neil was excited as well...he was going away on a trip with just her and he could use the time to get to know her better. His gaze went down to her chat screen which was open. There were some messages from some dude called karan...neil felt guilty that he was reading her private messages but he couldn't help himself since it was right there! He had called her just an hour back to meet her at the address he had sent. Neil suddenly felt jealous. Who was this karan? He hadn't heard of him/seen him before. He then realised that apart from Ali, Neil didn't know anything about Avnis friends. Even the 3 other guys from case 123 who helped him out, he didn't know too much about. How and where did Avni meet them. As soon as they heard Avni was in trouble they came running and they had mentioned that it was their turn to do something for her. HE was sure that his wife was the best friend ...she would gi above and beyond for people she held dear. But Neil was curious...his cop brain had lot of questions. He wanted to know everything about his dear wife. SO he looked at the address- it had only the street name and no other details and decided to go find her there and maybe surprise her.So he took a snapshot of the address and drove there.When he reached the place, he saw that it was not a residential area. There were no restaurants there too. He was expecting it to be a caf/house address because that's where people usually meet na! only thing he saw was a hospital. Now he was worried. Was Avni at the hospital? Since she was called there, she probably wasn't hurt/unwell but he was worried that one of her friends was unwell. His poor wife had been through enough, she didn't need any more tension. While he was thinking of all the possible scenarios he saw her exit the hospital with some tall, well built guy. They stood at the entrance just chatting away merrily. Neil was relieved that she didn't look upset/stressed. He watched from a distance as the 2 continued to chat. In a few minutes , another guy walked up to them and joined in the conversation! His wife had only guy friends or what?! Even though he knew his place in her life he couldn't help but feel a little jealous looking at her happily chat with her friends. Suddenly he noticed that his wife had a small bandage on her forearm like the one put after people give blood tests. He grew worried again...Was avni unwell? Did she come to give blood tests? Why didn't she tell him anything? Just as he thought about going up to meet her, he noticed that the other guy also had a similar bandage. Sab log blood test dene aaye kya?! Chal kya raha hai? And then suddenly he saw a banner at the hospital entrance about a blood donation drive! His supercop dimaag had finally solved the case. So his wife and friends had come to donate blood! His respect for his wife only grew. He felt incredibly lucky that he had such a socially conscious and considerate person as his life partner. She was truly an ajooba...she put up a mask of being tough but behind it all she was really sensitive and had a heart of gold! People had often told him that he was a really nice human being and he felt good about it as well. But he had a wonderful upbringing. His parents loved him, he came from a rich family...he got everything he wanted growing up in school and college. But avni had a rough childhood and all her life she lived with the tag of being illegitimate. Despite it all she had retained her goodness. She had built an exterior faade but neil was glad that he had broken down enough barriers to see through it all. Juhi's death was the first time he had felt grief but looking at all that happened since... it was all GOOD. If her fake death hadn't happened he wouldn't have become a cop and if he hadn't become a cop he wouldn't have met his wife. And juhi coming back also made him realise the difference between pyaar and mohabbat. He had loved juhi ofcourse 5 years back...but seeing her after 5 years and after all the drama that happened, he realised that what he had felt for her was nothing compared to Avni. Juhi himself had once told him when they were going out..pyaar kai baar ho jaata hai but mohabbat sirf ek baar hota hai. And he knew that Avni was his soulmate. She had stood by him in his most difficult time, accepted his baggage (which was thankfully proven to be a huge saazish) and that made him realise her strength. Suddenly he realised that he was lost in his thoughts for too long and avni and her friends had left! He snapped out of his thoughts and drove back home. He reached a few minutes after Avni and went up to meet her.As soon as he saw her, he felt his mood brighten up instantly, he quickly walked to her and gave her a hug. She seemed taken aback at first but then relaxed and hugged him back. Avni- Kya hua neil? Aate hi hug n all? Neil- Arey, tum meri biwi ho, me jab chahe tumhe hug karoonga. Avni- just laughed and said accha tumne leave ke liye apply kar diya?Neil_ yes wifey! Kal subah me saare pending kaam khatam kar doonga and tomm night we can leave for our road trip. Agle 3 din its just you and me!Avni- smiled and said great. Kal gaadi me poori tanki petrol bharva lo! Its going to be a long trip!Neil- Jo hukum mrs.khanna. I cant wait for tomm night!Avni- accha chalo abhi packing kar lete hai and then I need to go to neila ma's place also.Neil- kyun? Please mat jao na. chahiye toh phone pe baat karlo. Or go see her tomm morn when I am at work na...Avni- Mr.husband, I'm only going for a short visit na. I need to pick up some stuff for our trip only! And ma is going out to delhi tomm morn for some work. So we have to go tonight.Neil- oh ok. But please jaldi anna. Aisa kya hai vahaan pe that you have to go and get? Avni- surprise mr. khanna! Abhi sab kuch bata dungi toh theres no fun na!Neil- Avni yaar...now I'm super duper excited !Next day:Neil came back early from work. He was back by 3pm. They quickly finished last minute packing and had an early supper and decided to hit the roads. Neil noticed that there were almost 5 bags...and he laughed and said- Avni tum bhi kaafi typical ladki nikli. Itne saare bags! Hum sirf 3-4 din ke liye ja rahe hai. Poora ghar nahi shift karna hai!Avni- haha mr.khanna! Tumhe toh pata bhi nahi hai ki kya hai andar. Anyway I'm always fully prepared. U will thank me later. Ab chalo. Neil ok fine! Chalo and started walking to the drivers seat. Avni- oh hello...kahaan ja rahe ho? Neil- what do you mean? Tumhi ne kahan na chaloAvni- haan toh chaabi idhar do aur us taraf chalo- she said pointing to the passenger sideNeil- laughed and said- tum sach me ajooba ho! And tossed her the keys and went to the other side.Avni- meanwhile walked to the drivers side and buckled her seat belt. She turned on the ignition and off they went!It had been 3 hours. They had hit the highways. Through the ride they had been listening to music.Neil was amazed at how cool his wife was. She seemed to really enjoy driving and she actually had a super amazing playlist, she had asked him to find her flash drive from her purse and plug it in. And she had a full 8 GB pendrive full of music. Her playlist had a mix of all kinda music. He didn't even know that she listened to rock /sufi/etc. He found himself enjoying her taste in music also and as he listened to her hum/sing along he was pleasantly surprised. After they had been on the road for about 5 hours, they decided to take a small break. It was almost 10pm at night. They found a roadside dhaba- and they sat there enjoying the food and each others company. Neil- acccha mrs khanna ab aag ka kyan plan hai?Avni- you can drive now. I'll tell you when to stop. Neil ok madam. ChaloAs they drove neil proposed that they play a game. Truth or dare types, but since they were driving They mainly took turns just asking each other questions and the other person had to answer truthfully. And they discovered each others fav movies, books. Neil listened with rapt attention as she talked about her college days in delhi . Then he confessed to her that he saw some interesting tabs open on her laptop. At first Avni was upset that he was snooping but then she realised that she had left it open for him to see! He had seen links about stock market and trade. He listened in rapt attention as she talked about the stock exchange and investments! HE didn't understand too much. He was never into all that. He was going to do an MBA because of pressure to take care of his family business but thankfully he had found his true calling. And his dad also realised that neil was not at all inclined to business! But as he watched his wife talk passionately he realised that maybe she could work with his dad! He decided to talk to his dad later about this. Neil- mujhe toh pata hi nahi tha ki meri biwi ko in sab cheezon me bhi dilchaspi hai! I'm impressed wifeyAvni- abhi toh aisa bahut kuch hai jo hum ek dusre ke bare me janna hai!Neil- that's true wifey.About 3 hours later avni guided him to a path off the highway into a secluded but calm area. Then she asked neil to park the car. Neil was just obeying whatever his wife said! Once they were out of the car. Suddenly he found himself being blindfolded by his wife and she guided him to a rock and made himsit downNeil- Avni ye tum kya kar rahi ho. Hum yahaan kyun ruk rahe hai. Aur Aankhon pe patti kyu bandi hai. Main isko utaar raha hoon. Avni- Neil please na. thoda cooperate karo. Surprise hai tumhaare liye. Just have some patience. Surprise hai.Neil- ok fine baby.Avni-Shocked- kya kaha?Neil- I said ok fine baby. Tumne kya suna?Avni- na...nahi kuch nahi and smiled at the fact that he had called her baby!Neil- even though he was blindfolded he could imagine his wifes reaction. He knew she was caught offguard when he called her baby. He told her...Avni- BABY, just get used to all these names now! Itna sharmaane ki zarurat nahi hai!Avni- blushed and smiled- she was surpised that even though he was blindfolded he could anticipate her reaction. Accha ok, ab thodi der chup raho. I'm setting some stuff up. Neil- smiled at the fact that she was getting so flustered ! ok baba...I'll stay quiet.15 minutes laterAvni walked upto Neil and made him get up and led him up a few steps and then opened his blindfold! What he saw in front of him blew his mind!She had set up a small picnic table with a candle in the center. There were two tiny foldable chairs. She had set up some disposable plates and spoons and she had a cake box. And a few feet away she had set up a tiny little tent with a sleeping bag inside it. And there were 2 LED emergency lamps that she had bought and kept so that there was enough lighting in the place. Avni was so resourceful. Now he knew why she had so many bags. They were out camping by themselves and his wife had made a small and simple setup but it was just BEAUTIFUL. He was falling more and more in LOVE with her. Neil hadn't said anything. He was just looking at everything.Avni- (in her mind) Shit, I don't think he likes it. He probably thought we'd find a hotel/lodge on the way to rest tonight and instead I've set up this camping stuff. I should have asked him before planning all this stuff on my own. And then she says Neil- kya hua, tunhe accha nahi laga, toh we can go back on the highway. There are some hotels/lodges on the way. We can get there in an hour.Neil- snapped out of his trance and turned to avni- Wifey wifey wifey- please apni gaadi pe break lagao! Why do u jump to conclusions. I love this setup! Camping, candle light aur tumne dessert bhi arrange kiya hai! Aur vaise bhi tumne itne pyaar se sab arrange kiya hai ,theres no question of not liking it! He pulled her closer and cupped her face with one hand- Baby, you're amazing! Avni- blushed again- finally she was happy that he seemed to like the setup. Accha chalo, sit down.She led them to the little picnic table and she had bought some pastries which they shared as dessert. Thye fed each other and enjoyed the moment. Then neil suddenly pulled her up and said- can I have a dance wifey?Avni- Aur music?Neil- gimme one minute. He went back to his car and played a soft romantic track on the car stereo system. And they had a dance in the middle of nowhere, just the two of them, enjoying the feeling of being together under the stars. After the dance, they folded the table and chairs and put it into the car. And settled themselves into the cosy tent into the sleeping bag. Neil was thrilled that it wasn't too big because it meant that he had a perfect excuse to hold his wife close to him when they slept! The air was chilly so he set up a little bonfire as well and they just snuggled inside the tent with the fire few feet away. As they sat there, Neil wrapped his arms around avni and she laid his head on his shoulder. Neil- thank you avni. This is the best day ever! This has been the best date of my life!Avni- you're welcome. And she pecked his cheek.Neil- once he felt his wifes warm and soft lips he was done for! He was not going to sit still after that. He leaned in and gave her a long and hard smooch.When they moved apart he said- baby kiss aise karte hain! Avni- was still reeling from all the tingly feeling of being thoroughly kissed. Before she could recover, neil had made her lie down and was back to kissing her again.It was pure bliss...they just enjoyed their make out session. The air was filled with soft giggles and moans.And finally they enjoyed a peaceful slumber wrapped up in each others arms under the stars.After 3-4 hours as the first rays of sunlight streamed in. Neil and avni were both waking up and looked at each other and thinking the same thing- This is the best feeling ever! And they used the water they had to quickly brush their teeth and wash their face. And then they were off again to hit the roads. It was only 7am , the roads were great, by about 1030am they were at the Gujarat border. Thye stopped again for a break and had breakfast and chai at a roadside dhaba. Avni ofcourse ordered her fav poha and neil was just enjoying watching her be so carefree and happy! Avni took the wheels again and thye were off after breakfast. For a while they were randomly chatting about stuff, shared some embarrassing stories about themselves after swearing each other to secrecy. The talked about anything and everything. At one point they were bickering also about their fav indian cricketer. Neil was shocked that avni followed the sport so much and that apparently she had played in her college team as well. Everyday he was spending wwith avni he was learning so much about her...They had so many common as well as different interests. He couldn't believe that they had wasted so much time with so much drama. Even after 1 year of being married he was only now learning about his wife. When he told avni this, she just smiled and said...we have a whole lifetime to learn about each other! So chill.Neil just smiled back and gave her a peck.After a while neil had dozed off while talking. Avni was enjoying driving and listening to her music. She took glances in between at neil just enjoying the feeling of being together. It was all very unreal. She was married, she had found herself the ideal man, all the drama was over and they were on the road together and she the more time she spent with him, the more she was falling in love. She had never been so happy. She had very few people in her life that she could really count on. Apart from Neila ma she had a few friends who were all very dear to her and she could count on but none of them were a constant presence in her life, none of them had made her feel so loved and evoked such a strong emotion in her right from their first meeting. 3 hours later neil slowly woke up and realised that he had dozed off. And he was upset with himself and asked avni why she let him sleep. He had lost 3 hours of the time he could have used to talk/stare at his beautiful wife! Avni told him that he looked very peaceful that she didn't have the heart to wake him up. Anyway it was nearing lunch time. They were reaching Ahemdabad soon. They took a break in between to stretch their legs and took a few selfies together as well. They hopped back into the car and reached ahemdwbad for a late lunch. This time they checked into a hotel. They ordered in thalis for themselves and freshened up in the room. After some rest and refreshment they were charged up. Thy decided t oexplore a little bit of the city. So thye took off. Neil loved the fact that avni was so spontaneous. Her idea of a honeymoon was so unique just like kher. She was just soaking in the sights and sounds of the city and walking around aimlessly. After clicking photos together, they got back to their hotel quite tired. They enjoyed a beautiful candlelight dinner in the hotel which neil arranged as a surprise for her.When they came back to their hotel room, Avni looked at the sight in front of her and gasped. The room was decorated like a honeymoon suite! There was lighting, candles and flowers. She looked in awe at neil and said- ye sab kaise kiya? Neil- smiled at her and said- Zyada kuch nahi wifey. Jab hum lunch aur freshen up kar rahe the, toh maine manager ko kuch instructions diye the taaki when we came back I could surprise you. Accha laga?Avni- I love it. Thank you neilNeil- grabbed her and gave her another kiss. Slowly things started escalating. The ambience was perfect, the woman in fornt of him was perfect and he was majorly turned on. Their make out session which started off slowly was now at the peak. They were on the bed, clothes had been discarded and avni was on top of him giving him a trail of kisses along his neck. He was experiencing pleasure like never before but neil felt that since it was his surprise he should make the final move. He switched them around so that he was now on top and looked at his gorgeous wife. He looked at her intently as he sought permission for what was going to come next. Quickly grabbing protection from the back pocket of his jeans he prepared for the final step. Avni- whispered with a shy smile- kaafi tayyari ke saath aaye ho-Neil leaned in and said- obviously wifey. Bahut intezaar kiya hai iss moment ka.(leaving the rest to your imagination)In the wee hours of the morning Avni and neil lay entangled with each other in between their sheets after having finally given themselves to the other completely- body, mind and soul. They feel complete, like the missing piece of the puzzle has finally been put in place. Next morning avni woke up first and for a change was grateful that her husbands grip was a little lax. She quickly got up and grabbed her clothes and went to freshen upwithout disturbing his sleep. As she stared at her reflection in the mirror she was surprised at the glow on her face. There were a few marks on her neck and her lips looked a little swollen, her hair was quite dishelved but she herself felt beautiful! This was the first time that shes looked at her own reflection and felt pretty. She turned red at the thought of how amazing last night was. She took a quick shower and changed into new set of clothes and walked out to wake her husband. She ordered breakfast for them and requested the hotel manager to not ring the bell but slide in a note through the door when the food was ready and outside their door. She wanted to surprise neil with breakfast in bed. Once the food was ready, she went up to neil and pecked him softly on the forehead. There was no reaction. She moved down to his eyelids, still no reaction, moved to his cheeks- still nothing! Now she was getting frustrated- she moved to his neck and suddenly she noticed movement and then in one quick motion she was underneath him and found herself staring into his chocolate brown orbs. Neil- No screaming into my ear this time wifey!Avni- just smiled at him, caressing his face.Neil- kya baat hai? Wifey ko bada pyaar araha hai subah subahAvni- smiled wider and moved to give him a small peck on his lips and whispered...thank you for last nightNeil- looks at her with all the love and says ... nahi thank you wifey and pecks her nose .Avni- accha neil maine socha ki aaj we can have breakfast in bed. What do you say? Its just come, thanda hojayega...toh jaldi brush karke aao and lets have breakfast.Neil-ofcourse wifey. Mere saath rahke tum bahut smart hogai ho! Winks at her and kisses her once more and gets off the bed, wrapping a sheet around himself. As he got off avni had a good view of his well toned physique that she got to feel last night. Her husband was truly a work of art in her eyes! She was ogling at him and when neil realised that she was lost in him, he couldn't help but feel flattered and smirk. He said.. not bad wifey, tum toh itne blatantly taad rahi ho mujhe!Avni- immediately snaps out of it and looks down embarrassed and says sorry.Neil- Don't be. Tumhara hi husband hhon, jab chaho tab taad sakti ho. Haq banta hai and winks at her walking off into the bathroom with his clothes.Once he was out, he saw that avni had cleaned up the bed, folded the covers and set up the breakfast. She had ordered both of their fav food and it was a good sumptuous spread.They enjoyed breakfast in between pulling each others leg and some more flirting and romance.After breakfast , neil had a shower and then they decided to hit the roads again. Neil was driving now and they were headed towards rajasthan so avni suggested that maybe they could go to Jaipur as their final destination before turning back around- since they had limited time only.They took turns driving, sharing more stories with each other. They reached Jaipur in the late evening, saw the pink city in all its night splendour with the lighting etc. They checked into a hotel later that night- enjoyed round two of nightly activities yet again- it was hard to keep their hands off each other now. And next morning, they woke up early to cover as much of the city as athey could before heading back to Mumbai in the evening.They clicked lots of selfies, explored the local cuisine, did some shopping for their family, bought some local handicrafts and after an early dinner, it was back on the roads.On the way back they took a slightly more scenic route and stopped over several times to enjoy the view sitting on the bonnet of their car staring into the sunset/looking at lakes etc. They took turns to drive as well. When they reached Gujarat border on their way back- it was their last stopover before heading back home. They were at a small lodge -Neil was very quiet and Avni wondered what was up with him. When she asked him he said- Avni ek din me trip khatam, and we have to go back to our regular lives. I want to just be with you alone for a little longer ya...Avni- smiled at his childishness and said- kisi mahaan aadmi ne mujhse ek baar kaha tha ki uske dad ne use sikhaya hai ki hume present me jeena chahiye aur uska maza lena chahiye naaki aage ke bare me pareshaan!Neil- immediately realised that she was quoting him only. And teased her back- accha, aur kaun he ye mahaan aadmiAvni- mera supercop- and gave him a kiss.Neil- hugged her close and they drifted off to sleepNext day they drove back home and reached by late evening just in time for dinner. Their family welcomed them back home and was excited to see the photos and also the souvenirs they brought back.Later that night as neil held avni he said- thank you. These last 3 days have been the best thing in my life and I'm glad we did this trip. I promise this was the first of many more road trips to come wifey.And indeed it was. Avni and neil found time once every 2 months at least to sneak off to little adventures. Neil encouraged her to join her dad in the business once he spoke to his dad also. Within 6 months of joining Avni was a valuable addition to the staff. She was the most popular employee in the office as well and she started off as an intern and after training for 3 months she was offered a full time position at the company. She had insisted to dad when she joined that she should not be given any special treatment. For the first 3 months of the training no one knew that she was his bahu. Eventually ofcourse people found out. But everyone in the office loved her and knew how talented she was . Neil was very proud that his wifey was doing well at work and seeing her bond with his dad and the family strengthen everyday he felt incredibly lucky to have her in his life.
