He entered his room and locked it, standing against it breathing hard. Crazy family! Two hours of debate. Finally they let him slip into his room for his technically second first night.


He frowned as he did not see around in the room. Now what did his woman have in that mind of hers? He ran his gaze around when he noted her sitting by the pool. She had changed into her usual night wear. Why? He was expecting something like their last first night. Anyways. He walked up to her and questioned her.


"I could not breathe in that dress. I had told Riya to make it simple. "


"I convinced her for otherwise!" He said looking down at his wife, cheekily. "You looked royal, and pretty!" He added.


"Cheater" she hit his leg.


"You don't want me to fall on you, after falling for you. Do you?" He winked. "You'd have broken bones then!"


"Change and come!" She laughed. "You look like you are suffocating in that!" She giggled.


"Oh no, I was suffocating downstairs more. You see, I am more a son-in-law this time . Was getting an earful from your family you know. "


She giggled. He simply got his sherwani off and sat beside her, dipping his legs in the water after folding up his pants. She hitched in a breath for a second as her eyes treated themselves on his upper bare body.


"What do you think about Rudra's question? I think we should count this our first wedding anniversary, than our wedding day!" He said taking her right hand in his, while staring at her left hand's finger which was drawing patterns on the surface of water.


She smiled. "I don't care for the numbers anyway!" She playfully mover her feet up his legs. He sneered taking a deep breath and looking at her. Lethally attractive wife!


"Three months Anika. You have a heavy sum to pay with interest!" He said huskily looking at her lips. She took a deep breath, as his face inched closer. He was sure she wouldn't counter his mention of three instead of one and a half.


She looked at his lips and then his eyes , rather playfully. "You broke all the rules, eventually." She reminded him.


He sniggered. "Not all!"


"But, I did what I had to. Won your heart. " he smiled his most charming smile ever, proud of himself.


"Very well. Who can win you?" She said beaming with love for the man. He had left no stone unturned in the past few days to win her heart. It was already his. But he chose to do it for her again.


"You, of course. " he said immediately. "Thank God you agreed to marry me again, soon enough or we would have two wedding dates. So much confusion and anyways you are bad at numbers, so you would never remember the date. "


"I am not bad." She spoke in her defense with solemnity.
