*****************

" Welcome to our family, bachha." These words are of Simran when she performs the Aarti of Ansh and Advaita who are standing at the door of the Mehra house in a new form, as each other's life partners, as husband and wife.

And they see how the whole family is standing inside the house to welcome them with a happy smile.

" Ansh, Advaita ko apni bahon me uthkar use ghar ke andar lekar aao." Simran adds further and Ansh gets shocked hearing this, not because he has to lift Advaita in his arms but because he has to do it in front of everyone.

He just looks silently at his family.

" Arre, soch kya rahe ho, ye rasm hai..."

Simran introduces her elder son to the ritual with a teasing smile, to which Ansh looks at her.

And there is a light shy smile on Advaita's face, The happiness on her face is giving a different look to her complexion today, she is indeed very happy today, finally becoming his wife.

Her heart is beating a little faster than normal with joy and Ansh makes her heartbeat even faster as he lifts her in his arms in front of everyone but their faces turn even redder when Aarav and Aaira tease them by clapping and making noise which makes the family smile.

But for now, ignoring all the teasing and leaving behind his shyness, Ansh enters the house holding Advaita in his arms.

And then after all the rituals of Grihapravesh are over, Advaita once again takes the blessings of all the elders of the house where everyone welcomes her by hugging her.

The elder men of the house, Ashish Prakash, Raj and Neil also give Advaita a fatherly hug, forbidding her from touching their feet.

And Advaita feels very blessed today to be a part of such a loving and beautiful family.

" Finally, you're here. Welcome to our family my favorite person." These are Aaira's words to Advaita when after meeting the elders, Advaita hugs Aaira, the youngest member of the house.

And Advaita smiles at this word.

" In dono me toh mujhe Avni aur simran ki jhalak dikhti hai." All of sudden Neela says at which Aaira and Advaita looks at her along with all the family members

" Raj, tumhe to jrur yaad hoga kaise tumhari shaadi ke din Simran ke ghar aate hi tumhari behan ne pehle din hi party badal li thi...aur aaj Aaira ne bhi party badal li." Seeing the beautiful relationship between Aaira and Advaita, Neela suddenly remembers Raj's wedding day and speaks on which Raj, Simran and Avni smile remembering that day.

" Aur maa mujhe kabhi Bhabhi ki team me rehkar afsos nahi hua, aaj bhi bhabhi ki company bhai se jyada achhi hai." Avni who is standing with Simran says all this while teasing her brother to which Raj gives her a look and Simran smilingly side hugs Avni teasing her husband more.

" Nani, When the other party is good, then change is not bad, Bhabhi is my most favourite now." Aaira says this again while hugging Advaita from the side to which the family smiles and Advaita also smiles at this gesture of Aaira.

And the family smiles seeing Aaira and Advaita as Bhabhi-Nanad duo just like Avni-Simran and also thinking about how beautifully their children are taking forward the beautiful relationships of their family.

And there seeing all this a smile on Ansh's face too seeing this things between his wife and sister but of course somewhere he is feeling a little jealous of his wife seeing his sister in her team.

And then after all this, Simran tells Ansh to take Advaita to the room because it is quite late in the night.

So after this words of his mother, Ansh heads to his room with Advaita but as soon as he reaches outside his room, he is shocked to see Aarav coming out of his room.

" What were you doing in my room?" Ansh asks this to Aarav at the door.

" Oho bhai, Don't you remember today is your wedding night..." Aarav speaks to both of them while giving a teasing smile to which Ansh's eyes slightly widen but Advaita remains normal

" So mom gave me the responsibility of decorating your room, so your hardworking brother was decorating your room for your special night, that's why I am here." Aarav adds to which Ansh does not say anything further on this topic

" All the best bhabhi, May God give you the strength to bear my shy brother who is now your full-fledged husband." Aarav teases Advaita while speaking to her on which Advaita glares at him and so does Ansh but before that he gets beaten up by Ansh, Aarav runs away from there after wishing them good night.

After Aarav leaves, Ansh composes himself a bit and takes a deep breath

" Are you nervous Mr. doctor ?" Seeing Ansh taking such deep breaths, Advaita finally speaks to which Ansh looks at her and see how a light mischievous smile is visible on her face too, teasing him.

" Not at all." Ansh clarifies but actually he is a little nervous, yes he loves her, but all these things are new for him, From today onwards, he will not be alone in his room.

Well, he was ready for this thing where his life will change a bit but what will he do tonight ?

Will she expect something from him? If yes, then how will he take the initiative in their relationship, he is nervous thinking about all this.

Ansh opens the door of the room and both of them enter the room upon which Advaita smiles realizing that his room is theirs now.

Both of them see how their room is decorated with some beautiful light colored flowers and scented candles which are enhancing the beauty of the room.

" You are officially welcome to our room and to my life, Mrs. Mehra." Ansh says these words to welcome her while spreading his arms for her to which she gives him a thankful smile and hugs him on which Ansh smiles hugging her back.

" Well, don't you think this is all a bit weird." Ansh adds, indicating room decoration to which Advaita smiles and separates from him and cups his face

" Don't be nervous doctor, We have a whole life now." Advaita says these words suddenly calming the turmoil going on inside him, to which Ansh smiles.

" How do you know?" he asks when she catches his nervousness

" I think I know you enough to understand all this." Ansh just smiles at her reply

" I will try my best to be a good husband, I know you don't say it but you have many unspoken complaints against me, I will try my best to put an end to all those complaints." Advaita smiles at his statement.

But suddenly she feels like having some fun with him so that they can get over their first night jitters or maybe she doesn't know that perhaps her mischief might increase Ansh's nervousness.

She moves closer to Ansh, so much so that there is not even an inch of gap between them and Ansh sees how she is leaning closer to his ear with her hand on his shoulder, which increases his heartbeat.

" Well there is a way to remove my complaints.

show me how much you love me, make me yours with all your love." Advaita speaks in her bold way making Ansh's eyes widen in surprise.

" Are you sure?" he asks against her ear to which she smiles shyly against his ear at her own action.

" Yes." She replies, lightly touching his ear with her lips to which Ansh closes his eyes.

Well, Advaita knew that she will have to take the initiative between them tonight because his nature is not hidden from her and yes these days she has seen a different bold side of his with her but today, it is she who will have to overcome this sudden hesitation that has arisen between them, And anyway, in their relationship now, it doesn't matter who will take the initiative first, what matters is that both of them maintain this relationship together.

And then seeing this initiative from her side, Ansh too leaves aside his nervousness and with the intention of showing his love to her as per her wish, his lips were about to touch her skin, suddenly both of them hear some sound in the room, like a phone ring or some alarm.

" Whose call are you getting at this time?" Ansh asks her when both of them separate from each other on hearing the ringing sound.

" This is not my phone." Advaita tells him

"So this is not my phone either... then what is ringing..." Ansh asks in confusion

" Now how do I know, this is your room, you must know what is playing in your room." Advaita says but suddenly her eyes fall on the center table of the room where the alarm is ringing.

" It is your alarm that is ringing. seriously ? who sets an alarm at 2 am?" Advaita says while going near the table and switches off the alarm while looking at Ansh

" I didn't set this, my daily alarm rings at 5 o'clock." Ansh says but both of them hear an alarm again but this time the sound does not come from the alarm that is in Advaita's hand due to which both of them get confused.

But sensing the direction of the sound, Ansh takes out another alarm from behind the bed and switches it off.

And after seeing this, it is not difficult for Ansh to understand whose action it is.

That is why that boy had come to this room before they came here.

" This is Aarav's mischief." Ansh says to which Advaita looks at him but before she could say anything, both of them hear another alarm ringing, which they take out from behind the dressing table in the room.

" I will not leave him." Saying this, Ansh calls Aarav so that he can come and remove all the alarms and also switch them off.

But on the other hand, Aarav, who was resting on his bed in his room, suddenly smiles when he sees Ansh's call on his phone.

" Sorry Bhaiya, now your first night should have been memorable..." Aarav says in his mischievous style and he does not pick up Ansh's call because he has understood that his plan has worked and that's why Ansh is calling him now.

And Aarav also knows that, tomorrow morning he will be beaten up by his brother for spoiling his special night but now it is his right, now he can have this much fun with his Bhaiya-Bhabhi.

On the other hand, seeing Aarav not picking up the phone, Ansh understands that he will not come here and he is in such a situation that he himself cannot go out of the room and go to Aarav, Now obviously everyone at home would be resting so he does not want to disturb anyone in any way at this time.

But then Advaita suggests him to change and take some rest now, The alarms are still ringing, which they trying to switch off by searching from one corner or the other of the room and they know that this thing too will stop after some time, but they don't know when.

And that is why both of them first change and get comfortable after getting free from their heavy wedding clothes, and then come to bed and rest and somewhere both of them were so tired that when they lie in each other's arms, they do not feel any sound in the room and both of them don't even realize when they fell into deep sleep while lying in each other's arms and talking.

Next morning.

The sun comes out breaking through the clouds and spreads its light all around.

In Mehra house, in Ansh's room

It is Ansh whose eyes open first, well he was tired from the wedding rituals but still he woke up lazily.

And as soon as he wakes up, somewhere, all his laziness and tiredness vanishes when he sees Advaita in his arms who is sleeping peacefully placing her head on his arms.

He looks at her, stares at her while caressing her hair but his action breaks her sleep and she opens her eyes with a smile

" Good morning Mr. Husband." She says and immediately gives him a morning surprise by kissing him on the cheek but then he smiles remembering the word she called him "husband"

" Good morning wifey." Recovering from her surprise, he wishes her and surprising her immediately gives her a small peck on her lips upon which her eyes widen as she didn't expect him to do so.

" How are you feeling on your first morning as "Mrs. Ansh Mehra" ?" Ansh asks her further

" Out of the world." She says with a happy smile to which Ansh rests his forehead on her.

🦋🦋

Later, both of them get ready for their day and leave the room to join everyone for breakfast.

Ansh is wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, so as it is Advaita's first day in this house, she has chosen a traditional yellow Anarkali suit to wear.

Meanwhile, down in the hall, the family is sitting at the breakfast table, And right now the Khanna family is not present here as they had returned back home last night after welcoming Advaita.

But as soon as Ansh and Advaita come down the stairs and seeing both of them coming near the breakfast table, Aarav smiles and he can clearly see their tired eyes.

And he knows, maybe because of his alarm prank both of them slept late.

" And here come our newlywed couple." Suddenly on hearing Aarav's voice everyone's attention falls on Ansh and Advaita and everyone smiles seeing them both.

Simran gets up from her chair and brings Advaita closer to the breakfast table

" Did you face any trouble here last night, bachha ?" Simran asks Advaita to which Advaita shakes her head in no.

" Yes Bhabhi, did you sleep well? Looking at your eyes it seems as if you both did not sleep the whole night." Aarav says to which Ansh glares at him for saying this in front of the family.

While the rest of the family just smiles because obviously Aarav's behavior is not hidden from anyone and considering the kind of relationship they have, this light-hearted joke is natural between them.

" By the way, looking at the eyes of both of you, I am remembering a very nice song...should I sing it for you?" Aarav says further

And Ansh stands quiet just because of the family, otherwise he would not have left him for the kind of act he had done with them last night.

" So here is that song..." Raat ka Nasha abhi, aankh se gya nahi..." Aarav just sings that and this is the end for Ansh

" Tumhara Nasha main utaarta hu." Ansh says but before he can do anything, Aarav runs away from there and Ansh goes after him to beat him up and seeing this thing between them the family smiles shooking their head in disbelief.

" Maa, Where is Aaira and Avni aunty and Neil uncle?" After Ansh and Aarav leave, Advaita asks Simran about the Khanna family's absence

" They went back last night only, by the way you come and have breakfast, Arjun will also be coming to take you home for the Pagpheras." Simran tells her and Advaita nods as she sits at the breakfast table.

And after a while, from the other side, after getting a little beaten up, Aarav returns to this breakfast table along with Ansh to have his actual breakfast.

🦋🦋

On the other side.

In the Khanna house.

"When will you start coming to college?" This is Reyansh's question to Aaira while talking to her on video call

" Why? Are you missing me?" Instead of answering his question, Aaira asks him this question mischievously

" Yes, a lot. I am missing you, I am missing the time we spent in college... ever since we got together, I haven't spent even a single day with you peacefully." Reyansh expresses his sadness to which Aaira gets awwie on him seeing his baby face.

And what Reyansh said is also true since Aira confessed her love to him: both of them didn't get a good moment, a good day where they could spend time together.

The day she confessed her love to him in Goa, Ansh came to know about everything and both of them were not able to spend time there so, after coming back to Mumbai, the wedding rituals of Ansh and Advaita started and once again both of them couldn't get much time in all this.

All he can see is college, where he can spend a few hours with her in peace like before.

" Don't worry, I will start coming from tomorrow itself as I can't miss any classes any more." Reyansh gets happy on her reply that at least they both will be able to meet like before from tomorrow.

" By the way, I was thinking why don't I go to college with you from tomorrow, on your bike, together." Reyansh gets happier hearing her words which Aaira notice on her phone screen but then his smile fades when he thinks about Neil

" But Neil uncle ? What will you say to him? He will feel bad if I take his place...he will not like it if you go to college with me instead of him.

No, let's leave this thing. We will meet in college only..." says Reyansh

However he liked Aaira's suggestion that both of them should go to college together but he knows this habit of Neil, he has seen it since childhood, despite having many workers at home, Neil himself always used to drop Aaira to school and pick her up and now college too, and if he suddenly takes this place then Neil will feel bad.

" Arre, Nothing like this will happen, if I tell papa, he will not say no to me." Aaira says

"But Aaira...

" But what? Will you have any problem picking me up? Ok, no problem, don't come..." she says sadly

" Arre, When did I say that I would have any problem, I would be very happy but I don't want to anger Neil Uncle..." he expresses his fear

" And papa will not get angry, you just say yes or no and leave the rest to me." Aaira tells him to which Reyansh thinks something.
