*Navya Pov*
“But why should we go?” Matt asked for the hundredth time.
“Because we are keeping Navya with us as a captive so you all will give Suhas some company.” Di replied.
“And as you all are so smart you can give a few advices here and there to him.” She added.
Becks snorted and said, “If it is in their hands, then they will make him wait to realize his love for Navya until a few years.”
I looked at her confused, and she said, “It’s a long story.” Understanding my confused look.
“Do you really want to be here Navya? If you don’t want to I can drop you there.” Jack said smiling.
I smiled back and said, “I want to be here.”
“Jack! You need not necessarily show your protective brother skills to her. We are not devils here.” Mel said, rolling her eyes.
“You could have fooled me.” he said, and we all laughed.
“But seriously Jack, you do not have to worry about her like Mel said. I am feeling really bad for your future daughter.” Divya said shaking her head.
Immediately both Mel’s and Jack’s face fell. I held Mel's and his hands and said, “They will be best parents.”
“Indeed!” they all said at a same time.
After some time, they all left but before that, Di said, “Take him away from the hotel room.”
They all nodded at her order and left finally. We all decided to just hang out in the house. I talked with them so much, and I need to know them so much.
“So Navya! How did you spend your days here?” Di asked.
Then I told them the minor details how I got surprised by Suhas's surprise date. I told them how delighted and excitement I felt. They all listened calmly with smiles on their faces.
“Do you love him, dear?” Di asked making me stop talking.
“Huh?” I said, shocked.
“Do you love your husband?” she asked again smiling.
“I... I don’t know! He is just so amazing, and I feel very happy to be near him. I never got bored even for one second when I was with him.” I replied what I felt.
“Hmm... you will know soon the name of all the things you are feeling.” she said, and I nodded at her because I want to know.
“Now tell me what will you do after you reach the room in the evening?” Becks asked.
“We will talk to each other, then we will have some dinner. Then, before sleeping, we will…” I stopped myself from saying anything when I realized what I was going to say.
“Did you guys see her blush? So what were you both going to do before sleep?” Mel asked teasingly.
I blushed even more and hid my face behind the pillow I am holding. They all laughed and started tickling me making me laugh uncontrollably.
After that, Divya suddenly said, “They didn’t do it.”
“How do you know they didn’t do it?” Becks asked her raising an eyebrow.
“I am her best friend, I know such things by her behavior.” Divya replied shrugging.
“What is ‘It’?” I asked, looking at each one of them.
“See! Didn’t I tell you that you guys need to give her some talk about it?” Divya said like she solved some case.
“Uhmm... didn’t your mom said anything about the wedding night?” Di asked awkwardly and my eyes immediately went wide.
I shook my head, and they all nodded at it. God! It became so awkward because I just got to know what they were talking about in front of me, and I didn’t even know.
Am I really that Naïve like everyone is saying? But if I stay like this, then Suhas will never love me.
“Tell me any tips please.” I asked them shocking myself so much along with them.
“If you don’t mind, we want to tell you something.” Mel started, and I nodded asking her to continue.
“We already thought to do that for you and bought something.” Becks said excitingly.
“I don’t mind at all whatever you tell me to help me. I don’t want to spend my whole life with him not loving me at all.” I said my worry out loud.
“Navya! This doesn’t have anything to do with love. I mean to say love doesn’t blossom just because of this reason. So when he loves you, he will love your heart and you only.” Di explained, and I listened carefully.
After a few minutes they put some cover in front of me and opened them finally. When they pulled out the clothes in them, my eyes went wide.
“I need to... wear them.” I said in a whisper.
“He will love it, trust us. So wear this today when you reach the room and wait for him.” Mel said.
“Wait! What about his punishment?” Becks asked shock.
Mel sighed and said, “Do this and let him show you his love when you feel that he actually missed you so much. But if you get a feeling that he didn't, then also do this.”
“What?” I asked her confused because she said to do the same for both.
“But… after doing this lay down on the bed and drift off into sleep. Trust me, it will kill him.” Mel said and high-fived with Becks.
“O...kay!” I said, gulping but smiled, thinking what will happen later, but I couldn’t brush off the nervousness.
In the evening, Di took me to the hotel in her car. She came to our room as there were so many bags, so she helped me to hold them.
She called someone when I placed all the bags near our luggage. Then I heard her saying, “Hey, tell him that Navya reached the hotel.”
After she hung up, I asked, “Who is that?”
“I just called Matt to inform your husband that you reached. Now go and change into one of the night wears we bought.” she replied, and I did as she asked.
After I came out I saw that she is lighting the candles they purchased at the mall. Then I saw that she dimmed the lights too.
“What are you doing Di?” I asked her frowning.
“Just got a call from Matt that Suhas rushed out of the club when he knew that you are here. So I guess you guys will need them as far as I know.” She replied grinning more.
“Oh!” That’s all I said, because it is quite surprising.
“Ok! But still, don’t forget that he didn’t call you yesterday or today at all. So act like you are mad at him until you know the reasons for that.” She said strictly, and I nodded.
Before leaving, she turned and said, “I know you must be a little uncomfortable, but we asked you to do this because we know you love him, and now it is now time for you to realize it. And remove that long leather coat when he comes.”
She said the last line with a wink and exited the room. I paced in front of the bed feeling completely nervous about how should I act like I am angry with him.
When I heard the door opening, I folded my arms and tried my best stern face. Nevertheless, ended up in biting my lip when I heard the door closing along with footsteps nearing me.
I released a breath and pressed my lips into a thin line. When I know he is standing behind me, I started saying, “Why didn’t you...”
However, I couldn’t finish the sentence as I was turned around towards him suddenly and then his lips crashed on mine. It took me one whole minute to know what happened, and then I kissed him back.
After a few minutes, he released my face, but still held me by the waist and said, “I missed you.”
Then I remembered what should I do and asked, “Why didn’t you call me then?”
He looked a little taken aback, but composed himself and said, “I just thought as you want to spend your time with them. I don’t want to disturb you. I wanted to call you many times, but stopped myself.”
I so wanted to hug him right now, but I stopped the thought and asked, “What about yesterday night when I messaged you?”
“I got bored after Matt dropped me here so I drifted off into sleep and didn’t see it until today morning. And after seeing it, I don’t know what to say so I didn’t.” He replied smiling.
“So you missed me?” I asked him smiling.
“Yeah! That’s why I rushed here when Matt told me that you are here.” he replied and this time I haven’t stopped myself and kissed him.
Yes! I kissed him even though what I wanted to do is hug him tightly in the first place but changed it in the last second. Now it was his time to get stunned, but he kissed me back.
After releasing me, he placed his head on my shoulder and asked, “What is all this?”
“Oh, that!” I said, remembering the candles and also remembering the surprise.
I cleared my throat and moved little back from him, but to my luck, I hit the bed. Nevertheless, I stopped myself from falling and cleared my throat again.
He looked at me confused while I started taking a few deep breaths to stop my heart from beating this fast. I untied the coat and removed it looking at the floor completely.
“Navya!” he said only that.
I scratched my head and said, “I… I don’t know what to say.”
He chuckled and said, “That should be my dialogue Navya. But look at me.”
Closing my eyes tightly for a few seconds, I opened them and slowly looked up to see his face. Then I saw that he has this weird look in his eyes but why do I have a feeling that I too have the same look.
He walked slowly toward me and bended a little to knock my feet from underneath me and then lifted me up in bridal style.
I didn’t look at anything except his eyes, and he too did the same. I don’t even want to look at anything else because I fear I will do something stupid for sure.
He laid me on the bed and lay next to me. No matter how much I tried my heart didn’t stop beating. I mean, didn’t stop beating so quickly. It looks like I am losing my mind too.
Nonetheless, his eyes are the only thing that is keeping me sane at this moment. Then I felt his hand on my waist, and he pressed me completely near him.
Then I realized one thing which I may have realized already. I placed my palm on his cheek and said, “I love you!”
“What?” he asked me in a whisper completely shocked.
“I love you!” when I replied, he pressed his lips to mine and his hold tightened on my waist.
We both didn’t close our eyes at all and continued to look at each other. I shuddered as he is looking at me with passion which I never thought exist, until now, but it does, and I am feeling it.
I again mumbled “I love you!” and gave myself to him completely and happily.
