"By the way. Where are you taking me for honeymoon?" Drishti asked excitedly
"Honeymoon??" Shravan asked in surprise.
He hadn't given it a thought.
"Ofcourse. All newly married couples go for honeymoon. But don't worry. We don't have to go right away. I can't take anymore leave. If I do, I won't be allowed to sit for exams. So we will go during my semester break" Drishti said generously
"What's your attendance percentage Drishti?" Shravan asked
"Forty percentage" Drishti said with a shrug
"Forty? Dear God. What were you doing skipping all the classes?" Shravan asked in horror.
"Oh. We sometimes go for movies. Or simply for drives."
"That is not done Drishti. You can't skip classes like that. If you don't attend the classes, how are you going to understand anything. How are you going to write the exam?"
"Even if I do attend the class, I don't really understand half the things they teach. They are so boring that I mostly fall asleep during the class"
Shravan took in a deep breath.
"When is your semester exam Drishti?"
"In two months" Drishti said with a frown
"And have your started preparing for the exams?" Shravan asked
"Now? Why would I start now? I have two months more" Drishti said in surprise
"You can start preparations now. It will be easier for revision when exams are near"
Drishti huffed in annoyance
Here she wants to talk about honeymoon and this bloody boring man wants to talk about her bloody exams
"I'm seriously having second thoughts now" Drishti said making Shravan frown
"Second thoughts about what?"
"This marriage" Drishti said folding her arms across her chest
"What??"
"Here I'm talking about our honeymoon and all you have to say is I should study for my exams? How much more boring can you be?" Drishti asked
"Its about your future Drishti. At some point you will have to take over your father's business. For that you should be prepared."
"You are just like Paa." Drishti complained
"Even if I start studying now, I will forget everything by the time exams are near. Why waste my time and energy" Drishti added with a shrug
"Okay. We will come to a compromise. You will start your preparations a month before the exams. You are doing Civil Engineering right? I did the same. So I will make a time table for you. If you have doubts, I can help you with the subjects" Shravan said, mentally alloting time for Drishti's studies in his busy schedule.
Drishti stared at the man in front of her in growing horror.
What had she gotten into?
Drishti's phone rang
She picked it up.
"Honey? You sure right?" Vihaan asked after seeing the message he got from his daughter.
"I'm not very sure now" Drishti mumbled
Shravan stared at her in horror.
"What? What did he do?" Vihaan asked
"He is making time table for my bloody exams Paa. Can you believe it?" Drishti asked groaning.
Vihaan laughed
"I'm starting to like him"
"Paa"
"Atleast one person should be responsible in a relationship Drishti. I have lost hope in you being responsible. I'm glad ,atleast Shravan is responsible. For a long while I have been worried that you would end up getting married to Siddhu. You both are immature. Now I can atleast be relieved that you are in good hands" Vihaan said
He had got a full report on Shravan Maheswari from a PI and also directly from Abhay.
And he is happy with what he has heard of him so far.
"Fine. All of you are boring. I don't know what Maa saw in you" Drishti huffed making Vihaan laugh.
"My handsome face and my awesome personality" Vihaan said
"Oh please. I hanging up. Good night" Drishti said and hung up the call.
"Drishti" Shravan called her name gently
"I don't want to talk about my exams anymore. Blah blah blah" she said covering her ears with both her palms.
Shravan held her hands and pulled them away from her ears.
"No. I'm not going to talk about exams. I was thinking, maybe we can go for a small trip during the weekend" Shravan said
Boring! He had been called boring many times in his life. But he never cared. But it did sting when his own wife called him boring.
"Really?" Drishti asked excitedly
"Yeah. We will go on Saturday morning and stay there over night and return by Sunday evening" Shravan said
"Wow. Cool. Where are we going?"
"As we don't have time, we can't go anywhere out of Bangalore. How about a stay at our resort. I will show you around there" Shravan said proudly
The SM resort in Bangalore is their baby. Their first project. It's their pride.
"Sure. I will have to go shopping" Drishti said and Shravan stared at her in horror.
"Didn't you go shopping two days ago?"
"That's for the puja. Now I have to go shopping for the trip. We can go tomorrow evening?" Drishti asked
"We? You want me to come?"
"Ofcourse. That's the first duty of a husband. To take his wife on shopping"
Shravan was still reeling.
Drishti has successfully managed to bulldoze her way into his life.
So far, all the compromises were made by him, he realised with clarity.
Well! Let her have her way now. When time comes, I will have my way ,he thought to himself
Drishti snapped her fingers in front of his face bringing him out of his thoughts
"Where are you lost?"
"Nothing. It's getting late. Shall we sleep?" Shravan asked
"Already? I so wanted to kiss again" Drishti said shamelessly
Shravan groaned and pulled her into his lap
"I have been trying to control myself and give you time to adjust" Shravan said huskily
"I don't want time. I loved kissing you" Drishti whispered and Shravan wasted no time in capturing her lips in his.
His mouth was hot on her, his lips firm as he lowered her to the low sofa, pausing only to sweep the pile of cushions onto the floor first.
Drishti clung and kissed him back, opening her mouth to deepen the sensual penetration of his probing tongue.
His mouth left hers and he trailed soft kisses along the column of her throat.
Drishti flexed her neck giving him more access.
They were welded together, their mouths creating a fire that devoured both of them.
A little later, Shravan pulled himself slightly away as he felt himself losing total control.
They were both breathing hard.
"We will take this slow" he murmered softly looking into her eyes.
"We will take this slow" Drishti parroted.
Shravan pressed a little kiss on her forhead, before getting up from the couch and carrying her to the bedroom
That night, they fell asleep in each other's arms dreaming of a beautiful future.
