Regret?

AUTHOR'S POV:

" Okay, we will have the engagement together on Tuesday, right?" Aaron Zara's father asked.

" Yes! We will have the wedding separately because it should be special for both of them. So we will have their wedding the next succeeding day."

Balakrishnan said this, this idea was given by Deepthi to get a chance to stop the wedding.

If she tries something to stop the wedding, it shouldn't affect their wedding. So, she asked her father to fix the date on the very next day of Karthick - Zara's marriage.

" Yes, that's true. It won't be special if they both have together" Suguna accepted the fact.

"And Karthick wants a Christian wedding!" Pari said, looking at the screen of the tab in which Karthick and Zara were on skype.

"You sure, Karthick? Mostly we follow the groom's side customs."

"That's fine aunty I don't have any problem with that, I know uncle wants a Christian wedding. So, we will go with the same" He smiled. Aaron muttered a 'Thank you'.

Aaron and Maha ( Mrs. Mathews) had an Indian Hindu wedding as her father was adamant about that so Aaron wished that at least her daughter could have a Christian wedding but he did not want to force or make Karthick to feel guilty that he couldn't give what his father in law wants, so he didn't speak about that but Karthick once heard when he was speaking and remembered it.

" Okay, so first we will have Karthick Zara's wedding at St. James convent. And the next day Sid Deepthi's?" Aaron was quick to answer.

" For their wedding, we will have other functions at our house and wedding ceremony in a hall" Suguna said.

Soon they fixed the wedding in the next week.

" Aren't we rushing? Do we have enough time for preparations?" Pari felt like they are rushing because all the youngsters are busy with their business even if the wedding is the priority they could take some time and do calmly.

" It's okay Pari, why are we here? We know you guys are busy! But, don't worry, we will take care of everything!" Ravikumar assured her.

" Hmm! Don't take so much stress!" She smiled and others nodded, then they started discussions about shopping and color codes.

When they finalized everything it was already 8 PM so they ordered their dinner.

Yuvi ordered a veggie Pizza for them and again Pari wanted something heavy she was hell hungry but he ordered only a little. But she didn't want to make it a big deal so, she ate without speaking anything.

While returning Pari returned with others as Sid and Yuvi stayed back there as they met a long lost coincidentally.

After returning home she chatted with her dads for some time and then went to their room.

She was scrolling her phone nonchalantly after about an hour the door clicked open,

" Hello, Kitten!" Yuvi entered. She was laying on her stomach and scrolling her phone.

"Hello again, My kitten what are you doing?" He asked coming closer.

No answer!

" What's wrong with my kitten?" He asked as he lay beside her.

" Kitten is angry!" She said without looking at him.

" Why my kitten is angry?" A small smile cracked on his face.

"Because kitten is hell hungry. Rats and mouses are running inside my stomach!" She whined, he chuckled at her.

" Don't laugh! I am angry!" She said and turned her face.

"Aww! Kitten!" He pinched her cheeks.

" You know what? Now you smell chicken to me! In hunger, I am getting hunger diseases" She whined once again.

" Awww! What if I say even I smell the chicken? Then it is not some disease, right?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

" Wait! You smell it too?" He nodded yes.

Then suddenly a bulb glowed. The realization hit her.

" YOU GOT C.H.I.C.K.H.E.N!" She exclaimed sitting up.

He too sat up and nodded.

" You are the best!" She gave a bone-crushing hug.

" I love you soooooo much! You know how much, I was craving for this chicken. Where is my chicken?" She asked impatiently.

He took a package from the back of him.

She hurriedly opened the cartons to see what is inside. There were Chicken nuggets and chicken fried rice.

" Yuvi!! I said, right? You are the best with capital B!" She pecked his cheeks.

He sat there leaning to the headboard, she sat between his leg leaning onto his chest. He hugged her from her back and pecked her cheek.

She started her blabbering from the sun to the lost planet pluto, he was listening to everything and was nodding his head.

Suddenly something popped up in his brain when she was speaking about Karthick and Zara.

" Pari, I have one doubt"

" Shoot!"

" You remember my first meet with Zara at the party?"

" Hmm, yes!"

" You said that you know about Zara's boyfriend and then when Karthick informed you about their love, you were sad, why?" He smirked, he knew that it was not what that she told him but still, he left it behind and now suddenly he remembered it.

Pari forgot the spoon in her mouth, she was struck at the realization of what he is asking. He took the spoon from her mouth and dropped it into the food container and turned her face towards him

" Uhh! That..."

" That what?" Yuvi raised his eyebrows.

" You have good memory power!" She muttered sighing.

" That I know, tell what you told"

" Uh! She asked whether I love you? And said Yes, I love him!" She shrugged.

" If you would have said to me that time even, I would spin you around there itself!"

" I am bold but, not that bold to tell my love in the very second day of our marriage"

He squeezed her.

" Have you ever regretted marrying me?" He asked as he put his chin on her shoulder.

She completed her food and kept the empty container on the bedside table.

" What did you ask?" She asked turning towards him and sitting in Indian style.

" Have you ever regretted marrying me?" He asked her once again taking her hands in his hands.

" Leave the hand for a minute," She said.

"What? Why?" He frowned.

"Leave a second I will say" He left her hand.

She smacked his head.

"Ahh!" He rubbed his head and pouted.

"Idiot! Just a few minutes back I was telling I love you and you are the best with all my life. And now you are asking this question?" She smacked his head again.

" You don't regret it?"

" Nope!" Smacked once more.

"Ahh! Stop that!" He winced.

" I won't what you will do? Will smack me back?"

"Huh?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Hmmm! No!" He nodded.

" Then?" She asked, he was tapping his finger on his chin as if thinking.

" Hmm, I will..." He dragged the words.

"Tickle you!" He started tickling her.

" Yuvi! Stop that!"

" Nope! I won't!" He tickled more she rolled in the bed, the room filled with her giggles.

"Yuvi! Enough, stop! or else..."

" Or else? What you will do?" he tickled again.

" See I know how to stop you!" Saying this she tugged him by his collar and smashed her lips their lips moved in sync.

The kiss was not desire or lust...

It was love and assurance!

Assurance for the love for each other, passion for each other, care for each other.

That was not a hot moment...

It was a vulnerable moment!

They were vulnerable in each other's arms.

She rolled up, bringing him beneath her.

Both locked their eyes

" Nee thaan en vaazkai!" Pari said looking into his eyes.

( You are my life ) [ In Tamil]

" Tum mera zindagi ho" He said with the same love.

( You are my life ) [ In Hindi ]

" Ti amo!"

( I love you) [ Italian ]

" Ti amo di più"

( Love you more) He said and smiled at her.

The contagious smile!

She kissed him again her kisses trailed down to his neck.

Their fingers intertwined,

Eyes closed.

Their high heart rates,

less conscious.

They skipped into their world, of ecstasy.
