The intensity that I see in your eyes always does something to me.

The sun rays disturbed the deep slumber of Jisu and unknowingly she snuggled more into Ian's chest, hiding her face but soon realization hit her and she opened her eyes in a jiffy, only to witness the most peaceful scene. Ian was sleeping peacefully with his lips slightly parted. No doubt he looked too adorable and she couldn't help but stare at him. She raised her hand slightly to touch the mole that was just below his lips but she stopped in midway and withdrew her hand back. She slowly got out of his grip and stood up from the bed. She smiled realizing that Ian had carried her till the bed.
She unlocked one of her suitcase and took out her and Abhi's photo. "Good morning Abhi." She wished, caressing their photo. She glanced at Ian for one last time before entering the washroom.
She came out of the washroom draped in a simple pink anarkali.
She thought to wake Ian up. So she went towards Ian. "Ian." She called him numerous times but he was still in a deep slumber. She shook him a bit but he didn't even buzz. She tried numerous times but he only mumbled. "Let me sleep maa."
With no other option she went down alone, only to find Nyonika and few other relatives having a heated up discussion on something which she was totally unaware of. She was very nervous as she wasn't used to meeting peoples. Her nervousness reached it's height when Nyonika called her to sit beside her.
"Namaste aunty." She greeted everyone with her hands joined and everyone smiled in response.
"Jisu come sit here." Nyonika said once again.
"I will go and make breakfast." Jisu said with a small smile.
"It's not needed... Just tell us where do you want to go for honeymoon?" Nyonika asked, making Jisu squirm a bit in her place.
"Umm aunty I have no such plans... I will go and prepare breakfast." Jisu tried escaping.
"No need of it beta..it's already prepared and it's your first day here so not a chance today. From tomorrow you can accompany kaka if you wish." Nyonika smiled.
"For now just tell us your dream honeymoon destination...don't feel shy." A relative spoke out.
"I don't have any plans." Jisu said in a low tone fidgeting with her finger.
"Come on Jisu...you don't need to be shy. Like I wanted to go to Bahamas. You too should have some dream." Nyonika said and Jisu could do nothing but feel more awkward. Right then she heard Ian's sister, Yoona calling her name, "Jisu bhabhi."
"Haa Yoona." Jisu said, turning her head towards her.
"Come with me." Yoona said, holding her hand.
"But we are talking with her." Nyonika said.
"Talk later na maa." Yoona said, almost dragging Jisu upstairs. And Jisu mentally thanked Yoona for this.
"What happened Yoona?" Jisu asked.
"I was just saving you from their honeymoon talks." Yoona said with a smile.
"Thank you Yoona."
"Itna fikha wala thank you nai chalega. I need a hug." Yoona winked. Jisu happily hugged Yoona. "Thank you so much Yoona." Yoona giggled.
"OK you go wake up bhai I know he must be sleeping while I will go check on fab 5."
Jisu nodded and made her way towards their room. And as said by Yoona he was still in his own dreamland. "Ian." She called out his name, shaking him a bit. Due to the disturbance he grabbed her hand and pulled her a bit."Yoona you too sleep and let me sleep." He mumbled thinking that it was Yoona.
"Ian please wake up na." Jisu said once again but he turned to the other side, unintentionally taking her hand along due to which she landed on him with a light thud and he opened his eyes with a jerk, only to witness his beautiful wife. Her eyes tightly closed, her hands fisted his t-shirt. He slowly tugged few of her hair strands behind her ear which were obstructing his view. That was when she opened her eyes only to meet with his. Seeing so much intensity in his eyes, she turned her gaze towards the other side.
"Umm.. I was trying to wake you up and this.."
"It's fine." He smiled.
Jisu tried getting up but couldn't balance and she fell back. In reflex Ian put his hand around her waist and she could feel a different feeling.
"Ahem! Ahem!" The sound of fake coughing caught their attention. They turned their head to the source, only to see Zylith and Yoona at the door. Jisu tried getting up but once again lost her balance and fell down on him.
"At least you should have locked the door." Zylith mocked.
"Zylith let's give them privacy." Yoona said, suppressing her giggles while pushing Zylith towards the door while Jisu got up and composed herself.
"W e were going to go... Bhabhi romancing with your own husband is not a crime." Yoona winked, pulling Zylith outside while Ian glared at Yoona.
"By the way do lock the door." Zylith shouted.
"Zylith do you wanna get killed." Ian warned.
"First complete your romance session." Zylith chuckled and left the room with Yoona. Zylith and Yoona burst out laughing as soon as they were completely outside. While Jisu just lowered her gaze fidgeting with her fingers.
"Umm I will get ready." Ian said to avoid the silence and went to the bathroom.
