They sit awkwardly on the decorated bed beside each other. None of them knowing what to say or do. Aakriti starts playing with her bangles to avoid the awkwardness. 

The jingling of the bangles attracts Siddharth's attention. For a moment, he gets lost in the beauty of her mehendi clad hands with red bangles and hathphool on them. A desire to touch them aroused in him. Without realising his hands moved towards her but he caught himself at the last moment. Then he looked up at her and as always gets mesmerised by her beauty, he remembers how his heart had skipped a beat when he first saw her walking towards him dolled up as a bride only for him. Red was really her colour. 

"Aap bohot pyaari lag rhi hai", he said without realising that he was saying it. [You are looking adorable ]

Aakriti was caught by surprise. She blushed and replied,"A-Aap bhi". [You too]

Siddharth amusedly asked,"Main pyaara lag rha hun?"[I am looking adorable]

 "Haan..matlab nhi, mere matlab aap achhe lag rhe hai"she hastily said. [Yes, I mean no, I mean you are looking good]

He chuckled,"thanks".

"Waise ladke bhi pyaare lag sakte hai...", she thought aloud. Then nodded her head in determination and looked him in the eye and said,"haan aap bhi pyaare lag rhe ho" while cutely smirking. [ Although, men can also look adorable][ yes you are also looking adorable]

He blushed and chuckled amusedly. 'She is adorable' he thought to himself. He asked, "Should we go to bed?" She nodded."You can use the bathroom first", he said. 

Then they lied on the two sides of the bed facing each other. They were so far apart that another adult human could lie between them. 

"How are you feeling as a married man?", she asked him. He was surprised by her question but replied," Nice...".

She narrowed her eyes,"Really?" 

"You aren't feeling nice?", he asked while raising his brows.

"More awkward and my heartbeat won't slow down" she whispered animatedly.

He started laughing,"you really have no filter"

" Well, I like being honest and what's the point of having a filter before you", she said.

"Yeah that's true"he smiled. "Well, go sleep, you'll feel better tomorrow hopefully",he said while lying on his back.

She replied"yeah" while yawning.

"Goodnight husband"Aakriti said, her voice full of mischief.

Siddharth looked at her startled. 

" Just trying to get the feeling" she sheepishly said.

"Goodnight wifey" he replied naughtily while looking at her. Her blushed cheeks put a smile on his face. He felt at peace after a very long time. He turned towards the ceiling. After a while, when he looked towards her, she was already asleep. 'Life was going to be colourful with her' he thought to himself while smiling and then closed his eyes to sleep while turning towards her.
