Shlok's POV "Shaurya, you didn't give me my phone back. " " Shhhh!!! " Viren and Ron said and Shaurya received m the call. " Hey, honey!!! " Shaurya said in my style. " What are you doing? " I asked but Ron and Viren pulled me away. " Shhh!! Do not speak. It is just a harmless prank." Viren said in a hushed voice. " Let's see if she can find the difference between the two of you now or not. " Ron whispered." That's not fair! Give me my phone back. " But Viren placed his hands on my mouth. I could beat all of them in a minute and get my phone back but they all seemed to be enjoying the prank that I thought of letting them enjoy just this time. Just then I heard Shaurya saying. " I am also missing you, Honey. But it is a matter of just two days, then you will be mine. " He said and all of them smiled while I wanted to break their teeth. With a perfect imitation of my way of talking he engaged in a casual conversation, leaving Gauravi none the wiser." Yes... I know," she s
Shlok's POV " Shaurya!! You idiot!! Give the phone to Shlok right now, I am going to tell my dad that you played a bad prank on me and made me cry. He will beat you to a pulp. " She said in a louder voice. Great!! " What?? No!! What are you saying, honey, I am Shlok. " Shaurya looked shocked as everything was going fine. " You are not my Shlok. He would have known what pendant I was talking about or whom was he supposed to invite for our wedding. You are Shaurya. Give the phone to him. " She said in an angry voice. " Honey... " Shaurya tried again. " Don't call me that... " She yelled. " Love... " Another try. " See another point... Every time I tell him not to call me honey, he calls me...something else. Well, the bottom line is that you are Shaurya. " Her temper and volume were rising. " No, I swear, I am Shlok. Actually, the house is full of guests, everyone is around and I could not call you Mango in front of everyone... But I swear I am Shlok. Why would I have his ph
Shlok's POV " I thought you were my friend. But you are making fun of me in front of all your friends, I hate you. Don't ever talk to me again. " she said and burst into tears.All the boys were shocked at her reaction they looked at me again. " Hey, sorry! Gaurvi, please don't cry. I am sorry. I was just playing a cute prank. I didn't know... That you... I thought that since you are a prankster, you would take it seriously. Sorry. Please don't cry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Sorry. " He said but she disconnected the phone again. " Oh, shit!! What the hell was that?? What happened to her all of a sudden? It was not a bad prank, was it?? " Shaurya asked me. " I don't know... You played the prank now face the music. " I said and shrugged. " But what about this Arun Nair?? Who the hell is he? Have you invited him? " Shaurya asked. " No!! " I smiled while shaking my head. " What?? But she wants you to invite him... Invite him right away, or she will kill you as well. " Viren sa
Shlok's POV " You asked him to invite Arun Nair?? Like seriously?? Him of all the people?" I said. " Relax, OPH president, gen 2, I knew how you would react to his name, so I used it, and he said lovingly that he would. You would have yelled just at the mention of his name. " She said. My mango, sweetest, smartest. " I hate him. " " And you have already killed him. Now relax!!! Forget all this, but don't tell Shaurya that I was not crying. He deserves that. Anyway, It's our wedding and our baby and I are missing you. " She said, I missed them too and wanted to be there with them. *****Women from our family were supposed to go there taking Heena (mehandi) as shagun, I accompanied them there as Shaurya. She looked pretty in a green lehenga. Mom didn't know how to apply mehandi so she just applied a dot on her hand and handed the cone to Chachi, she made a small swastika in the center of her hand. Mom introduced her to my baby. She touched Bua's feet, but Buaji kissed her head
Shlok's POV We all came back and Shaurya came running to me to ask if she was alright. I assured him and told him all the questions he had regarding the trip and Arun. He was shocked to hear everything. " You killed that bastard? " " Hmm. Why? " " Good!! Or I would have punched you. How dare he think of doing it to her?? In fact, anyone... But I swear, my blood is boiling. If he was alive, I would have killed him even without your training or skills. I am glad you were there for her." He said with his jaw and first clenched. " Yes, that's why I yell back at her if she takes her name and she knows it, that's why she took his name because you didn't know anything about the pendant and Mrs Iyer, the lady, she wanted me to invite for the wedding. That lady tried to set a romantic angle between us. She even said that she saw sparks between us. " I said and he smiled. " She must be a smart lady, I would love to see you. I am really sorry that Gaurvi cried. " He said feeling very ba
Shlok's POV But I was surprised when she laughed and said, " Hey, nice try, Shaurya." " I am Shlok! " He said but she shook her head. I clapped and whistled. " That's my girl!! " I said and rushed to her, she smiled. Shaurya, unable to contain his laughter any longer, stepped forward and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "Relax, bro," he said, flashing me a mischievous grin. "I was just having a little fun with Gauravi."My expression softened slightly as I realized it was all just a harmless prank. But the jealousy still burned deep within me, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of possessiveness over Gauravi.Gauravi, sensing my discomfort, reached out and took my hand in hers, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "Don't worry, Shlok," she said with a smile. "There's no one else for me but you." " How did you get to know? " " I didn't feel anything when he caught my hand... No sparks at all. My body feels a spark running through, at the slightest touch by you. " She said. My
Wedding day... Shlok's POV There was a lot of excitement at our place, our family being so big. After all the small ceremonies and rituals, that are followed in any Punjabi wedding, finally it was just 5 PM. The time was running so slowly. Even a minute looked as long as an hour. All my friends were at my place and they all were teasing me with Shaurya. " Hey, what do you think should we gift him?? " Viren said. " A Rolex watch, " Sujal said. " Latest laptop or something like that. " Raj said. " A pair of diamond cufflinks set in platinum or gold, along with matching a tie holder, or a platinum bracelet. " Manik said. " You all are boring.... they are very obvious gifts and they are just for him... At a wedding, we should gift something that can be useful for both. " Viren said. " Right!! What are you planning to gift him? " Ron asked him with a naughty smile. " Haven't thought of it till now.... Well, how about a quota of different types of condoms for a year? " He ask
Shlok's POV " That reminds me, what were you saying to her?? " AapI glared at Shaurya and he feigned to be scared. " What... I just said that the bed should be comfortable, especially during the honeymoon... Most of the time is spent there after all. I was thinking of your comfort and you are glaring at me?? " He made a long face. " I shall give him some child-safe sex toys. " Viren said. Everyone burst out laughing. Manik jokes, "Instead of a honeymoon, how about we send you both to a parenting boot camp? It'll be a bonding experience, for sure!" I made a face at him. Shaurya grins mischievously, "Hey, Shlok, I found this online course on 'how to survive the first year of parenthood.' Thought it might come in handy!"" Will all of you please shut up?? Don't you have anything else to do? " I asked. " No, since it's your wedding, we all took a day off from our busy schedules. We are all yours for the day. " Viren said. " Ughh!! Why the hell the time is not getting passed?? I l

Maurvi's POVMy handsome husband was just too naughty. He kidnapped me right after a wild wedding night. He didn't give me time to even pack my clothes and the clothes he had packed... Well, they should not be termed as clothes. He literally kept me locked in his arms.

Maurvi's POVAfter some of the rituals, Gautam said that he was very tired and wanted to sleep, but everyone laughed and started teasing him and the girls were also whispering naughty things to me making me blush even more.After some time I was sent to a room which was decorated beautifully with flower strings and aroma candles were lit there. There were rose petals scattered all over the place ... and were also on the bed in the shape of a heart.Oh God!!! It all was making things so obvious... my face was red as flower petals. I could not even imagine myself sitting there like it is shown in the movies so I kept standing there in the middle of the room. I was just too nervous. I knew that Gautam was really very excited about tonight. But I was just too shy. I was still trying to calm my racing heart when I heard the men talking. They were outside the room and we're teasing Gautam mercilessly, even asking him to use protection... Oh my God!! these men came without any filter in th
Gautam's POVWe reached there at the venue with Baraat. Uncle and aunty welcomed us. I got down the white wedding mare. Aunty welcomed me with an Aarti platter. Then did a few cute customs like holding the nose of the groom ( me ). After that, we came insideI had occasionally seen one custom in various weddings which was Feet washing ceremony of the groom. Once the groom entered the house of the bride on the wedding day, the bride's mother washes his feet with honey, curd, milk, ghee and sugarI personally never liked this custom. I didn't know what was the logic or the story behind it. But I refused to let aunty do this custom.I am just like her son... So it should be me who should be doing it not the other way around. She was as old as my mom and I could not let her wash my feet. So I refused to let her do that to me I washed my feet on my own. I didn't care if someone felt that I was trying to be some kind of reformer. I did what I felt was right.Then we were taken to the huge s
