Chapter 2 Racing Hearts

I was sitting in his room or should I say my or our room. Gosh!, this feels so weird. You know that tingling feeling in your stomach. Like thousand butterflies are dancing inside you. Exactly my point.

Yes, my dear readers I'm officially Mrs Nirmaan Singh Rathore now. I don't know what to expect. My heart is racing miles per second.

I decided to distract myself from my thoughts and got up started looking around the room. I must say he have some really good taste. The room was way bigger than my old homes living room, kitchen and 1 bedroom combined. With emerald green and golden combination it was giving a royal feel. I looked around and wondered why it two has doors in room. Bathroom ke liye toh ek hi darwaza kafi hota hai. Yeh do -do bathroom ka kya karte hai?( why do they have two doors for washroom.)

There was a big balcony with recliners and seating area and OH MY GOOODDD!! A swing. I squealed in excitement jumping on my steps looking it. I was swinging myself left to right holding my hands in fist under my chin admiring it. When I heard a clearing of throat.

Which made me still and I turned to see him standing there lazily. His body leaning on big window frame,arms crossed and his left leg crossed in front of right with a little smirk on his face or was it amusement, or was he laughing at my stupid act. Gosh Subi, you're soo stupid.Aise bachon jaise harkatein kaun karta hai.(who behaves like a child)

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realise when he came so close to me. Standing in front towering over me. I looked up into his eyes for a mere second when I realised he was already looking intensely at me. I turned my head down. Suddenly finding this wooden flooring way too interesting.

"Mujhe nahi pata tha, apni suhagrat ki itni excitement hai..pehli bol Deti, main thoda jaldi hi aa jata...hmm?"(I didn't know, my wife will be so excited for her first night. I would have come earlier.)

He said in his dominant and husky voice with a little amusement in it.

My head snapped up with a jolt, "Na..nah..nahi.main..woh...ap..jhula...suhagrat..."(no...I..you...swing...night.)

He took another step forward leaving no space between us. "Waise Biwi...idea bura nahi hai, balcony main, jhule par.." he left his sentence in middle with a smirk on his face.( It's not a bad idea Biwi, don't you think? In balcony on a swing"

For a moment I looked him with confusion when it suddenly hit me, what he actually meant.

My eyes went wide like saucers and my cheeks went darkest shade of pink. "Nahi...nahi meri matlab woh...aap.."(No ..I mean...you me..)

Not able to speak I just turned around closing my eyes in embarrassment.

When a beautiful chuckle made me open my eyes. He came forward taking my small hands in his big rough ones. and asked "Tired?", to which I just shook my head in no. Which wasn't really a lie. I mean I was but not much, even though it was 10 in the night and it was a long day with all the rituals and all.

He raised his eyebrow, not taking my lie. "Just a little.", "Do you want to sit outside for a little while?", and I said my head in yes.

And we both took our seats on the swing keeping a little distance. It was a beautiful night with star twinkling in the sky. Which was rare for such a night in Delhi. So why not enjoy it.

"Subi..?" I immediately turned my head towards him hearing My name from his lips rolling down felt so beautiful, like it was meant just for his lips.

"Hmm..", i hummed waiting for him to continue. " I know, it's all too new for you, I know it's not going to be easy for you to adjust in this new environment. But remember, I'll always be with you. You can always come to me, any time and for anything you need..okay?, you'll have me", my eyes welled up with his words. He answered all my unsaid questions, as if he was reading my heart. All my worries went out of the balcony as we were already sitting out...sorry bad joke.

I couldn't be more lucky, having such an understanding life partner. A lone tear escaped my eye. When he shifted a little closer and cupped my cheeks in his warm palm. "Hey...kya hua?.(what happened?) .did I say something wrong.", I held his hands in mine keeping them still on cheeks, "No..and thank you..thank you for understanding"

He gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Andar chalein?",(shall we go inside?),he asked and we both went inside. We entered when i suddenly remembered, "Aapke kamre main 2 bathroom kyun hai?, (why you have 2 washrooms?)I asked and he just looked me all confused.

To clarify, I pointed my finger towards the direction, following my gaze he also looked and then back to me and his lips turned upwards forming a smile which suddenly turned into a chuckle and I was Standing there looking like a dumb.

He shook his head in amusement and still smiling and took the hold of my hand moving towards the doors. And opened one of the two doors and gestures me to look inside. Slowly moving I took a peak and my eyes went wide and then my face turned crimson and I bit my tongue. I slowly stood straight my head down with embarrassment, while fidgeting with my fingers.

It was a Walk-in-Closet. I mentally face palmed myself. You should have seen it yourself. This is the third time i embarrassed myself in front of him. I groaned internally.

"Go change, you must be tired in these clothes. Tumhara saman pehle hi maa ne rakhwa día hai, (mom got your stuff placed inside), I'll change in here"

Without wasting a single second I ran inside, saving myself from the embarrassment. Shutting myself in, I gave myself a good lecture and then proceeded towards my suitcase to change into something comfortable.

But when opened it, I was shocked it see it. I was not expecting what I say in my suitcase.Thankfully I was alone or else I would have died in embarrassment.

Knowing very well who would have done this I made a mental note to give them a nice lesson for this. Keeping it at bottom of the suitcase I found a similar palazzo suit that would be perfect to sleep in.

First thing I did was, I came out this heavy lehenga skirt and putting my pyjamas. And started removing my jewellery one by one. Finally, it was all out. It felt so amazing and relaxing. Changing my blouse and safely keeping everything in wardrobe i came back to the room.

He was sitting on the bed busy in his phone. I was still standing on my tracks looking at the king size bed placed in the middle. How am I gonna share a bed with him?

Sensing my dilemma he took long strides towards me. "Don't worry, I'll stay on my side. Unless..." he dragged.

I looked at him.., "unless you want me too..", I took a step back. He chuckled at my reaction and went back to bed on the left side.

Which made me pout. Sighing I went to the other side and sat there and keeping my dupatta over the bed post. Lying on my side trying to sleep as I knew sleep won't be anywhere near.
