Shubman tapped the kitchen counter aggressively as Sara was making breakfast but he wanted to talk to her and whenever he went to hug her she would send him away saying it will burn, huh.

Finally she was done and just when she was about to pick up the breakfast to keep it on the table he held her hand and pulled her.

"Ohh what are you doing?"

"I am..I what am I doing? Nothing."

"Toh haath chodo."

She chuckled but he didn't left her, he pulled her more closer making her sit on the island kitchen.

"Haww how do you pick me up so effortlessly?"

"Efforts lagte hai bas tumhe dikhata nahi hu."

"You mean to say I am heavy?"

She asked narrowing her eyes and Shubman gulped.

She is already gloomy Shub, don't make her more sad.

His mind mocked at him and he gave her a smile.

"No no no never,I was just joking. See you are soo light ek haath se bhi uthalu mai."

He said picking her up a little with one hand and she smiled, girls don't like it when someone says we are heavy.

"Good boy, ab hato na breakfast nahi krna kya?"

"Krna hai my love par pehle give me your original smile."

"Original hi toh hai, dekho."

Her white teeth flashed infront of him making him chuckle.

"No it's not, it's fake. Tell me what's bothering you? Ab toh woh chudail bhi chali gayi na no one's there to disturb us."

And just then his phone rang. He sighed keeping his head on her shoulder and she looked down.

"It's okay go take the phone."

"No let it ring, you tell me."

"Shub it's nothing baba, I am just tired due to the hospital work."

"No I know you are lying, bata de baby. Apne aap se kya chupana?"

He asked referring to himself as her and she smiled. He cupped her face and rested his head on hers.

"I am jealous Shub."

She whispered and two tears flew from her eyes. He wiped them with his thumbs still touching her head.

"Why?"

"That Nikita she said you are hers. She knows you better than me. She will snatch you away from me. I said ki mere pati se dur raho for the first time but aaj subah uthke woh ye sab bakwas krne lagi. Does she really knows you better?"

Her lips pouted at the loss of contact as Shubman moved back, he looked at her for a second.

"Tumne aaj usse jawab kyu nahi diya?"

"Before I could say something, she went away."

"What do you think? Who knows me better?"

He asked and she looked down.

"I..me."

"You yourself said the answer, ab ye sab thoughts bahar phekdo. I don't want anymore sadness lingering in your head."

"But.."

"But what baby? I love you, you are my wife. You have seen my soul, I am vulnerable infront of you like no other, I share my deepest secrets with you, you know me from my each hair to my toe. Do you think I will share all this with others? Hmm? You have the key to my heart jaan, no one else has it. Only you, you."

Sara immediately jumped from the counter and hugged him while he held her securely pulling her up. She kissed his neck and sniffed to stop the tears which were betraying her.

After sometime he pulled her out and wiped her face with his shirt.

"Ab ye aasu kyu?"

"Khushi ke aasu hai, thank you for choosing me and thank you for being mine."

She kissed his nose and he smiled.

"Ab sab khatam?"

"Sab khatam."

"Good now come let's have breakfast."

She nodded and he smiled, together they enjoyed the breakfast made by Sara while Shubman showed her all the things he had brought for her and his parents and sister fron Bangladesh.

"We will go to Virat bhai's house in the evening."

"Kyu they called us in the afternoon na?"

"Yes but I have somewhere I need to take you?"

"Where?"

She asked with twinkling eyes and he laughed.

"Can't tell, go fast and get ready. Go go go."

He said pushing her towards their room with her resistance but at last he was successful. He quickly cleaned the table and kept the plates in the sink and made his way back to their room.

"Ready?"

"Hmm."

"Wow you look sexy."

He said whistling and she smiled.

"I know."

"Ya ya you know."

He quickly wore a jacket over his tshirt and took their phones.

"Chale?"

"Hmm."

Soon they were on the road and Sara was busy toying with his fingers on the gear so she didn't even notice where he was taking her. Once the car stopped she looked outside and saw her house.

"Ohh my god hum mummy papa se Milne aaye hai?"

"Yes, they called me. They wanted to meet you."

"Ohh thank you soo much Shub you are the best."

She gave him a quick hug before dashing out of the car making Shubman smile. He parked the car properly and went in.

There she was sitting between her parents talking to them with a wide smile. He smiled and bent down to touch their feet. In between even Sara was sitting so he teased her by touching her feet.

"Eey..kya kar rahe ho?"

Her parents laughed at their camaraderie and Shubman finally sat opposite to them looking at her contended. Her mother got him water which he politely denied since he just had his breakfast.

"Sara take Shubman ji to your room and ask him to rest woh kal hi aaye hai na tour se?"

"Ji mummy."

She replied before padding her way towards the living room where he father and he were sitting.

"Shubman come with me, take rest for sometime."

"Aree no I am okay."

"Nahi Shubman beta aap kal hi aaye hai rest kr lijiye thoda, I am sure Sara ne aapko bohot pareshan kiya hoga."

Her father said with a hint of tease and Shubman nodded as if she had really teased him. Sara's mouth was opened wide and they both chuckled.

"Mazak kr raha hu meri maa ab ja unhe lekar ja."

She nodded and eyed him to follow her who quickly got up, afterall who doesn't want to visit their wife's old room, he still had some books pending to read from her shelf.

"So jao thodi der Shub, I know you are tired."

She said once they were in the room and he sighed. He fell on the bed opening his arms and she chuckled.

"Thak to gaya hu par tumhare bina neend nahi aayegi."

"Accha to waha kaise sote the?"

"Woh to waha I knew ki tum pass nahi ho par yaha to I know na ki tum pass ho."

"So jao, this room contains my smell and I am sure you will get a good sleep. I will wake you up at lunch time."

"Hmm."

He said already dozing off sniffing her scent from the pillow, peaceful it was. Sara waited for him to fall asleep properly and once he was she removed his socks and covered him with the blanket.

Kissing his head, she adjusted the AC temperature and went away giving a final glance to him.

Seemed like her room actually gave him peace of being with her cause it was almost 5 hours he was sleeping. They came here at 8:30 and now it was almost 1:30. Shubman usually has his lunch late so even Sara didn't wake him up.

"Ab bohot der ho gayi Sara, ja unhe utha de and ask him to come for lunch."

"Par mummy woh lunch bohot late krte hai."

"Aree par phir bhi it's almost 2 now itna late to nahi krte na, go."

"Jaa rahi hu meri maa, ab damad aa gaya toh beti ko to kya hi pyaar milega."

Her parents chuckled at her muttering and she reached her room where he was still sleeping peacefully. The blanket was now half on the floor.

She kneeled beside him and gently tugged at his shoulder.

"Shub..Shubman wake up baby. Mummy is calling you for lunch."

"Umm."

"Yes yes my love get up, it's getting late."

"Hmm."

"Utho na baba."

"Hmm na."

"Shub."

He opened his eyes adjusting to the brightness and looked at her serene face, close to his face. She gave him a soft smile and he smiled back.

"What time is it?"

"It's 2 now."

"Wow, I slept for long."

"Yes now get up quickly, get fresh and come down."

She said and got up to go but he held the end of her saree pallu.

"Hello madam? Tum kaha chali?"

"Neeche, mummy ki madad krne."

"Humari bhi madad krke jao."

"Tumhari kya madad?"

She asked chuckling and turned back.

"Dil mai dard ho raha hai?"

"Kyu?"

"Tumne subah se ek bhi kiss nahi di hai na."

"Accha ji?"

"Haan ji."

She giggled at his tone but quickly freeing her saree from his hold she ran away, they were acting like some teenagers in love. But it was beautiful,wasn't it?

"Ye galat baat hai."

Shubman shouted but it was late. He got up with a smile and went to get fresh. Splashing water on his face he made himself presentable and went down.

You can say it was a sake serving for Shubman, he literally had to lean on the chair and his mother in law was still serving him some food.

"Maa bas please, I cannot eat more."

"Aree aise kaise beta abhi toh aapne kuch sweet bhi nahi liya."

Shubman looked at Sara who was giggling with her hand on her mouth and he whined.

"Nahi nahi 15 dino mai tour hai aur uske liye strict diet maintain karni hai pehle hi bohot kuch kha gaya mai."

He said but her face fell and Shubman sighed.

"Accha aap itna keh rahi hai toh mai ek laddoo kha lunga."

Her face was brightened immediately like a bulb and Sara's heart fluttered at his attempts to make her mother happy.

Shubman ate the laddoo which was actually tasty and then drank water. Finally Sara and her mother wrapped up everything on the table and then they sat in the living room.

"Maa, papa ab hum chalte hai."

"Aree kyu itni jaldi?"

"Mummy Virat Bhai ke ghar bhi jana hai, isliye thoda jaldi niklenge."

"Accha thik hai."

Sara and her mother shed few tears and hugged each other, she promised to meet them again very soon. With that they bid bye to her parents and Shubman made his way towards Virat's house.

"Huff kya khatirdari ki hai."

"Haha I know right, I so wanted to laugh looking at your face."

"Ohh is it, I saw how you were controlling your laugh. Ghar chalo tum kalo batata hu mai tumhe."

He said and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me."

She rolled her eyes again and he scoffed.

"I said don't roll your eyes baby, consequences will be hard."

"Why do boys get hurt when girls roll their eyes at them?"

"I don't know about others but I don't like it."

She rolled her eyes again and he gripped her thighs in his hand.

"Ab dekho tum, let's meet in our bedroom tomorrow. Aaj ke liye chod diya kyuki Virat Bhai ke ghar ja rahe hai and don't say I didn't warn you."

Sara gulped hearing his threat but somewhere her heart was excited, the giddy feeling was back.

"Ha ha dekh lenge."

She said gathering courage and he just smirked, his kitten got tongue now.

As they reached Virat's house Shubman parked the car and came out to her door opening it for her. She smiled and held his hand before they made their way in.

Shubman was immediately greeted by the sight of Vamika at his legs asking him to pick her up while Sara made her way to Anushka after greeting Virat.

"Hi Vami baby? How are you, chachu missed you."

"Very good chachu, Vami baby missed you too and chichi too."

"Why don't you call her chachi?"

"It's boring chachu."

"Ohh."

He kissed her cheeks and made his way in still holding her. Soon Anushka and Sara joined them and the atmosphere turned euphoric as they shared some members from different tours and later when Vamika was asleep they watched a movie.

It was almost 2 in night when the movie was over and Shubman and Sara turned towards the guest room while Virat went to make Vamika lie down in her room.

All in all the day was quite nice, happy for all of them with lots of enjoyment and memories.
