Mom was in the living room with Dad, Chachu, and Chachi.

" Mehul, Mudit... You both will not force Manik to go on their honeymoon. "

" Sneha, what are you talking about, we need to bring them closer. " Dad said to her.

" Mom, it is ok, I will manage. I packed the bag last night so was very tired and could not get up. It is difficult to pack for a foreign trip for a month. But we packed our bags. " Manik ji said.

" I know... Let it be, you are very tired and are absolutely right. We don't have a right to force our will on you. We will not force you to live together. " Mom said.

" But she is my wife, mom. I can't abandon her like this.

" If you don't want to be tied in this marriage, we will get you separated legally and get her married to someone else. " Chachi said.

" Chachi, what's wrong with you, I got married to her and took vows to take care of her till my last breath. I would like to give this marriage another try. After all, we loved each other. " He said.

" Ok, but if you don't want to go on a honeymoon, let it be. " Dad said.

" But we should spend time with each other. " He said.

" There is so much workload, let it be. " Chachi said.

" Chachu offered to do all that work on my behalf. " Manik ji said.

" Oh, I think, Megha and I should go on a honeymoon, instead of you and Roshni. Don't worry. We will go. You do your work. " Chachu said.

" Chachu... What is this yaar?? Yesterday you all were after my life to go on my honeymoon, and now that I am ready to go, you are telling me not to go. What is going on?? " Manik ji asked.

" Well look at yourself... You are so overworked and stressed, you don't even have time to wear your clothes properly. " Chachu said.

" What? "

" You are wearing your pajama inside out. What was the hurry, son? " Chachu asked.

Manik ji looked at his pajama and cursed silently.

Oh, God!! I must have turned into a tomato.

Everyone burst out laughing.

" So?? What does that mean?? I was preoccupied. It happens to everyone. " He said to explain.

" Yes, of course, especially when you are newly married. So finally our son has learned, how to make babies. Or do you still want me to tell you?? " Chachu said. I was really feeling shy, and could not look at anyone.

" What? Don't assume things... I was preoccupied. " Manik ji was still trying to behave innocently.

" Oh, stop it Manik, I saw these clothes lying on the floor when I came to your room. You wore them in a rush to stop me from canceling your trip. " Mom said. Everyone else was smiling.

" Mom!! " He didn't know what to say as we were caught red-handed.

" It's ok... You are behaving as if whatever you did was still forbidden for you. You both are married and we are happy to see that you started your married life. God bless both of you. " Chachi said.

" Yes, we know that you are trying to make us feel guilty as we were very strict with you during the last two years, but according to us, it was good for both of you. See your love has increased manifold. But we still realized that maybe it was a bit too harsh on you, I guess we got carried away. Things could have gone the way you pretended. We are really sorry, both of you please, forgive us. " Dad said.

I shook my head and said, "Please don't apologize, dad, you intended to do what was best for us. You are our family and maybe we could not understand at that time, but we knew that you only wanted the best for us." He placed his hand on my head and smiled.

"And we also know that you slept in Roshni's room last to last night as well. " Chachi said and winked at us.

" Oh, God!!! Then why didn't you tell me and kept playing along? " Manik ji was getting embarrassed.

" Because we wanted you to take out your frustrations and feel good that you taught us a lesson. And you did teach us. Things could have gone the way you pretended. We would have felt very bad if it had and we would have never forgiven ourselves. " Dad said.

Manik ji embraced his dad immediately.

" I am sorry, dad. I was upset with all of you for keeping us away. How could I forget that I have the most amazing and cool family who supported us at every moment, even when I refused to get married to Myra on the wedding day itself? Chachu's friends got annoyed with him still he didn't blame me and stood by us and our marriage. I love all of you. " He said. Chachu also hugged him.

" That's what family is for. And my friend is too old and strong with them to break like this. Everything can be solved with patience" Chachu said.

" Now, at least hug her with love in front of us to make it feel good. " Chachi said.

" Sure, Chachi... Shall I kiss her too? " He hugged me tight and winked at chachi.

" You didn't ask for my permission on the last two nights... Then why now? She is your wife, we don't mind. " Chachi winked back. Everyone burst out laughing. I was turning red with every passing moment.

" Now go and get ready or you will miss the flight. "Mom said hugging both of us.

He caught my hand and we rushed upstairs to get ready. While we heard our family laughing.

We reached our room and he shut the door.

" let's go and take bath or we might get late. " He said.

" Together?? " I was shocked.

" Yes, come!! "

" No!! "

" Come darling we are married and we are getting late. " He said pulling me.

" No, Manik ji... "

" Oh, come on, it is not forbidden anymore. " He said.

" No!! "

" Yes!!! " He picked me up and took her into the bathroom and saved water as we have a responsibility towards mother earth to save its resources.

Though we wanted to save time as well... Well... let's not go there.

We both managed to board the plane and went on the journey of our new life.

The End.
