Naina's P.O.V
The night air kissed my face as I took a deep breath in filling up my lungs letting it recharge my mind too.
Adi driving and a comfortable silence in the car is all I've ever wanted.
Nobody is on the road. It's all empty and beautiful.
Adi pressed a button and I looked at him and he pointed upwards.
My mouth hung open at the beautiful view of the sky filled with small tiny stars. Each one of them shining beautifully. In the vast darkness, even small amount of light wins. But here are so many, a beautiful.
"Do you like it?" He asked smiling and I nodded not taking my eyes away from the beautiful view.
"Wait till you see this" with that he pressed another button and the car converted into a convertible and this time my my eyes widen and a huge gasp left my mouth.
"Oh my gawdddd" I exclaimed!
"Adi this is so beautiful and awsome" I said looking at the new interior the car had converted into.
"I know right!" He said as he pressed hard on teh accelerater and I was pulled back on my seat.
"She's fast" he exclaimed. The air felt so good, so amazing and so fresh. Fast felt good.
I closed my eyes and let the freshness enter me. Removing the rotten. Making me feel like time for yet another start. That will last long. This feels amazing.
"Hmmm" I hummed as I inhaled as much as I could. My lungs felt so free.
Everytime something happened they constricted, feeling that even the air was toxic but now they can breathe freely.
We kept driving fast for sometime. Laughing, talking, holding hands, pointing out to the shapes the Stars created in the sky, smiled and I leaned against him as he slowed down slightly.
"Lets take a small break" I suggested pointing to a small spot appropriate enough to see the stars too.
Adi parked there and he put his back against his door and gestured me to come to him with my back on his chest. Hearing his thumping heart. Trying to match it with mine if I could.
"That was amazing" I said putting my hand on his that was on my belly.
"I'm glad you liked it" he pressed a kiss on my head. A gush of air hit us making us both hum in peace. We both inhaled the nature and exhaled and sat in silence.
"That's a bear!" I said pointing towards a shape that was created in the sky by the stars.
"And that one looks like a baby" he pointed in anote direction.
I looked and giggled. "Two babies" I said pointing to another shape of a baby beside the first one.
"Our babies" adi whispered and I blushed hearing that. Babies with him! Oh a dream I wanna live.
I giggled. "What?" He asked. "What's so funny"
"Nothing!" I giggled again.
"Don't you wanna have kids?" He aksed again and I looked up at him as I slided down by now.
"I do adi. I do" I said looking into his eyes making him smile.
"Twins?" He aksed and I laughed.
"That's something I can't control" I said and he smirked.
"I can. Leave that job to me. It's gonna be time consuming and hard but I can do it" he winked and I hid myself in his chest. Shameless.
"Am I?" He asked. He read my mind.
"Yes yes you are. But mine" I said and he grinned widely. I love being possessive.
"I love this side of yours" he said deeply. "I'm so glad you're opening up to me naina. It's all I've ever wanted" he said.
"And a family" he added. I smiled at him and closed my eyes and leaned back on him.
We sat in silence listening to the wind gushing and whooshing.
Until adi spoke up again..
"Naina who was that boy with vidhi in the party?" And I stilled.
Vidhi told me about how she's talking to a boy and he seems interested in her but she's scared to tell dad and abhi seeing how possessive they are. Mom and I know.
I'm afraid adi might react differently but I feel bad keeping it from him cause at the end of the day, he's her brother who only wants best for her. Plus I don't want anything that happened with me related to boys happening to her.
I mean samar. How he befriended me and then all that happened! What if that boy is sent by adis rivals and he hurts vidhi.
I came back to reality with a shake on my shoulder.
"Hey you zoned out!" He said and I looked down.
"So who is he?" He asked again and I still didn't speak up. He narrowed his eyes at me sure that I was hiding something.
"What's going on?" He aksed softly this time and I let it out. His tone and ugh everything about him. I cant keep anything in me.
"Vidhi has been talking to a boy and he seems interested in her, and today they both met and he told her he Likes her and she's scared as to what to say" I said calmly looking and seeing his expressions with every word I said about his family.
After I finished I looked at him and he opened his mouth to say something
"Why didn't you tell me this before" his voice was soft. And his expression too. I thought he would be angry and run off to kill that boy.
"We didn't know how you would react? You men are so possessive and intimidating" I said the last part almost confused.
He raised his eyebrows
"The world gives us plenty of reasons to be possessive. Our names do bring luxury but danger as well. So we have to go to these lengths to do this. And talking about intimidating, that too is part of all this." He said explaining to me what I missed out on.
"I'm sorry." I said looking down as now I felt guilty for hiding it. If something happens to her I'll be blamed.
"You don't have to say sorry." He made me look up and continued. "You're family too and you too want the best for her, you did what you thought was right at that time. You're elder to her and you too can take decisions when it comes to her. But let us know about it too. I dont want anything happening to anyone in my family. I'm not questioning your decisions, but I just Wanna have a part in making them too" he said in that firm yet soft tone.
"In this family, everything is heard and understood" he said confidently.
Wow! I didn't know this side of adi or my family. But I'm getting to now and I must say, they're much more than what they seem.
"Wow! I-i didn't know that but now I do and I'll keep that in mind" I said accepting more.
He smiled and a doubt filled my mind. I too had a question for him.
"Adi who was that girl with abhi?" I asked and he stilled. His face expressing busted and he looked here and there and gulped and laughed nervously making me raise my eyebrows.
So the tables have turned.
I cleared my throat waiting for an answer and he sighed and told me
"The same story, he likes a girl, he asked her to be his girlfriend and she said yes and now he dosent know how to tell mom" he said.
"Mom? What about dad?" I asked.
"Uh dad already knows" he said sheepishly.
Same here, mom and me know but dad dosent know. Haha!
"Wait! Who else knows about vidhi?" Now it was my turn to shut my lips. Ugh.
"Just me and mom" I said sheepishly as we both laughed at out little lie to save our family from our family. Haha.
"Wow! Mom and dad both don't know the entire story of their children's lives" adi said laughing and I joined him.
"Yeah! What's gonna happen when they find out and also when we both knew and didn't tell them" saying this I laughed even harder inviting him as if it was so fun to lie.
Well it was! Hehe! We kept laughing for some time, hitting each other in the process and laughing harder.
We both cooled down for some air after laughing our lungs out and till our bellies hurt.
"Hoooof" we both said and smiled as we both were about to laugh again.
"This is the best night ever" adi said and leaned in to kiss me.
He laid me on the seat, with him on top of me and we both fit just fine. He leaned in and captured my lips with his and kissed me slowly and softly.
He pulled my lower lip, sucking it and going towards my upper one tormenting me so sweetly. He didn't push his tongue in my mouth instead kept licking my lips and suckig on them while I tried my best to reciprocate.
My hands reached to his shoulder blades as I clutched them hard as his lips bit my neck and sucked me till he got that moan out from me.
Pulling back he looked at me and again kissed me, this time letting all his body weight on me as his tongue plunged in my mouth and his body taking over mine in all ways.
We both kissed some more until we pulled back and smiled at each other.
"Lets go home now. It's late." Adi whispered against my lips and I nodded biting them. Feeling his touch lingering there.
We both sat up again and drove back home and by the time we reached my eyelids were so damn heavy I was about to fall asleep there only.
Adi shook me "Baby get up, we're home" Hmm home. Sounds so good.
I got up lazily and walked inside to find it all dark. Of course, it was 1:30 am and we both were dead tired.
Going in our room, none us had the energy to change while I just fell on the bed not caring to change. I just needed the bed, nothing else.
But adi changed and helped me change too, he was tired and he took all my sleepy tantrums and oh god I fucking love this man.
Plopping himself beside me, we both drifted to sleep in seconds awaiting tomorrow.

Aditya's P.O.V
I looked at the clock and then at my peaceful sleeping beauty wondering if I should wake her up or not.
The clock showed 6 00 am and I had to get her up for her surprises.
I shook naina slowly earning a slow hum that me want to kiss that pretty face. She looked peaceful right now buy she'll be even more peaceful when she sees her surprise.
Mind you, everyone in the house knows about the surprise except naina and everybody is up downstairs.
"Naina" I said softly caressing her hair as she snuggled into me.
I shook her and those pretty curtains opened wishing good morning.
"Hmm adi. What happened" she asked eyes closing half and looking at me.
"Nothing. Get up. Or we're gonna be late. Come on" I said as softly as I could as I didn't wanna rush her already tired self.
She opened her eyes even more, still tired. But nodded. And didn't ask anything further.
15 minutes and she was all ready smiling at me. I held out my hand and covered her eyes with a red cloth.
"Adi? What's this?" She asked touching the cloth.
"Your surprise!" I whispered and she shivered.
"Im all dressed up you know. You could've told me to stay naked" she said with a shy smile on her lips and I looked at her amused. Damn she's getting shameless! Yes!
I looked at her and she giggled as if sensing that I'm looking at her.
"Don't worry about that. We'll take care of that later" I said grabbing her hand and earning another giggle.
I opened the door and led her down the stairs carefully.
And made her stand in the middle of the living room where everyone was there.
"Ready?" I said behind her and she nodded eagerly. The air was filled with enthusiasm that woke her up entirely. She was still tired.
I slowly took off her cloth. "Open your eyes" I said.
And she gasped loudly.
~~~~~~~~~
Naina's P.O.V
Everything stilled and my heart beated so loudly. My eyes wide in shock but despite that the biggest smile came on my lips seeing my surprise.
MA!
There she was. Old and healthy and strong and happy and all healed. She looked so beautiful and brave. A survivor. Her eyes held that emotion that she wished she could tell the world how she fought and her lips were not scared or trembling anymore. They were all nice and pink and she was back to herself again.
Even better than that.
No words left my mouth but tears left my eyes, happy tears.
"Ma" I sobbed out and she came to me and hugged me tightly. So tight as if we would get pulled apart again. We stayed like that for long and no one said anything.
I've got the best family and the best husband ever. God I'm so so so grateful.
I pulled back and cupped her wrinkled cheeks. Running my hands all over them, they're soft. Her hair looks nice and long but thin. She's aging.
"You're- You're here" I said in a teary voice.
"Yes baby I am" her voice turned teary. And we hugged again. Again so tightly.
Until ma pulled back and looked at me. "Look at you, so strong and beautiful" she said with that beautiful voice that made me feel like home. She said it and I felt stronger.
"You too ma, you too" I said. We were having our little reunion and everybody was silent but I know they were watching it with silent, happy eyes.
Mom must have tears in them by now. And maybe dad too.
I turned around suddenly and as I thought both of them had tears. Infact the entire family was silently crying!! Oh my gawdd!!
"All thanks to adi. He kept a nurse with me back, in the mansion and I've been so so better and we've been planning this meetup for a week now" she spoke again.
"When did you discharge from the hospital?" I asked. Last time I saw her she was in the hospital.
"It's been 2 weeks" she said and my eyes widen. I had no idea. I was so lost with everything that I forgot her and I feel bad.
"Ma I'm so sorry. I didn't come to see you" I said and she immediately cupped my cheeks again.
"No. No don't say that. This gentleman right here saw me everyday. Kept checking up on me and even appointed that nurse for me and he told me about you. Everything. He told me how hard it's been for you too" she said with those warm eyes.
I closed my eyes and smiled. I feel full. And complete. The air felt so comforting and happy and good.
I looked at adi and he just stole my heart once again. Well he already did before but let's just say my heart turns all gold for him. Infinite heart points for him!!.
"You all knew about this?" I aksed looking at everyone and they nodded while more tears fell out of their eyes.
I chucked and smiled at all of them and adi! What do I even say. I won't! I'll show him. How much I love him. Tonight!
"I kept my mouth shut with so much difficulty. Bhai almost had to threaten me" abhi said laughing. And we all laughed.
I looked at adi and he shrugged his shoulders smiling at me. This man! God I love him!
I turned back to ma "stay with me" I said and I heard and 'yes' in unison from behind me.
All agreed.
Ma smiled and nodded.
"Now go you'll be late" she said kissing my forehead making me frown.
She looked and me and then at adi. What's going on?
"Go where?" I asked and everyone looked at adi.
He looked around and smiled sheepishly.
"Uh well this was supposed to be a surprise for naina and no one else to know" he said scratching his neck but we still kept looking at him for answers.
He slumped his shoulders and groaned. "Ughh fine. Me and naina are going on our honeymoon"
He said dropping the bomb. Everyone's faces hung open.
"Yes" we heard mom scream and in happiness and dad looked at her amused.
"Finally, some grandchildren" she said turning to dad and clapping her hands excitedly while I was just processing what adi just said.
"What!?" I said looking at him and he smiled showing all his teeth.
Honeymoon! I didn't know!
I DIDNT EVEN PACK!
Oh wait! Shit! No! Did he see the lingerie I bought? Noooooo!!
Did he pack it? Or did someone else do the packing?? Oh good!
I looked at him and then at everyone who was so excited except me. Adi came to me and held my hands. I was still not shock from both the things. But the shock of honeymoon was fading and turning into happiness while the second thought faded for now.
In the happiness as a topic for later discussion.
"Ready?" He said and I shook my head still in shock. He chuckled.
"Don't worry about anything. Everything is ready, all you have to do is come with me" he said as if taking me on an adventure.
I looked at him blinking my eyes before finally crying out a excited yes which made him cover his ears. I jumped happily clapping my hands and everyone clapped with me like stupid.
"Dude it's just a honeymoon. Why yall clapping?" Abhi said.
We all stopped and looked at him for a moment, all silence. Then, we all began clapping again and the maids and everyone came out with a confused look on their faces while we just kept clapping and laughing.
The doorbell rang and the maid opened the door and before we knew adis angry voice boomed before the family at the person standing at the door.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?" He boomed angrily...................
