I think I have to write this for every chapter now!

Inline comments are love🙃

Sara's eyes fluttered open and she looked at her surroundings, not known. But then she sighed, she was married now! She looked towards her side where Shubman was sleeping.

They both were at the same spots they were last night, moved here and there just a little bit. Her eyes went to the clock, it was 7.

"Should I wake up?"

She wondered and looked at Shubman getting on her elbow. She admired his peaceful face which was calm like an ocean. His light breath made his face rise and fall a little. His hair was messed up, she couldn't see them last night because of the pagdi he was wearing.

One thing Sara loved about Shubman was his hair, short but better than any girl. They touched his forehead and she gathered the courage to slide them with the tip of her finger.

"Ohh no Sara you were not up to admire him, I mean I can afterall husband hai mera. But I am getting late now."

She whispered to herself and glanced at him one last time before getting up from the bed. Her body ached due to all the continuous functions and no time to rest but she managed to soothe herself with the warm water.

She came to the closet with the towel wrapped around her figure and her hair dripping wet and started searching for a perfect saree she could wear.

"Fuck."

That's the moment she turned back and her eyes widened, Shubman stood there with his mouth agape looking at her long, slender legs and her chest where he could see the swell of her breast a little.

The water droplets did nothing to add to his mercy as he saw them dropping from her hair to the middle of her breasts.

"Shit I am so sorry, I didn't mean to but I thought you were in the washroom. I.. I am sorry if you feel uncomfortable."

He fumbled on his words before turning back and leaving the closet quickly taking his clothes while Sara could just stand there flushed at the thought of her husband watching her like this.

She stood still for at least 15 minutes before sighing and taking out her saree before wearing it. The damage was already done, nothing could be done now.

When she came out she saw the room was empty, she sighed. Applying her daily basic things on her face and some lip balm with kajal she got ready.

That's when Shubman came into the room all ready, his eyes not ready to meet Sara's. He did come to their dressing table but didn't spare a glance at her thinking he had made her uncomfortable.

"Shubman."

He finally looked at her and she stood in front of him with her palm extended holding a vermilion box. He smiled.

"How much?"

"Just a little."

He took a small pinch and filled her head with the vermilion and again looked in front setting his hair.

"Shubman please don't feel guilty about the morning incident. It's my fault actually I should have been more careful but isn't it supposed to be like this? One or the other day we will come to that point where we have to see each other naked and it's normal I think. Don't get me wrong we still just like each other but I think I might even love you one day. And also I am not uncomfortable with your looks or your touch so please just stop thinking about it."

She said before wrapping her hand around his torso and hugging him keeping her head on his chest hearing his fast heartbeat.

Shubman smiled and hugged her back keeping his chin on her head.

"I know, I am sorry. Even I think I am falling for you, I know it's too early but it is what it is. And I do not regret whatever happened in the morning it's just there is no way I want to make you uncomfortable so I just said that."

His words had given her immense happiness and vice versa. They were glad they were falling for each other.

"I loved the way you asked me to fill your hairline today."

"Hmm."

"Also you look great as always and smell so good."

He said sniffing her hair and then her neck bending a little and again coming back. She blushed while looking down and he smiled. In their case Shubman was a bit more of an introvert but still he could make her blush right?

No let's wait for the future, you will die being a tomato. His subconscious mocked him and he smiled, he wouldn't mind it at all.

"Let's go down."

She said and he left her before taking his phone and going down with her. Sara saw his parents and Shahneel with her husband sitting on the couch and they joined them.

"Sara beta you are looking wonderful."

"Thank you maa."

She whispered before taking their blessings and sitting back with Shubman. The atmosphere was pretty relaxed with them enjoying their tea and coffees. Though Shubman didn't drink it, he had one or two sips fron Sara's mug.

"Tumhari pehli rasoi hai aaj, so you have to make something sweet. Shahneel go and help her."

"Bas sweet banana hai?"

"Haa ha baki breakfast cook bana lenge. Aur agar tumhe sweet bhi nahi aata to you can bake a cake. I know you love baking."

Shubman's mother said to her smiling and she nodded her head before padding away in the kitchen with Shahneel.

It's true Sara didn't knew cooking but she thanked her lord that her mother had taught her how to make moong dal ka halwa stating it would help her in future.

After Shahneel helped her arranging all the ingredients Sara tucked in her pallu and started working while Shahneel stood beside the counter her hands resting on the higher corner.

"Sooo."

"So?"

"How was my brother in the bed?"

"Di."

Sara's blushed crimson red and Shahneel chuckled.

"Aree itna laal mat ho, ek to tum pehle hi itni laal ho aur ab jyaada lag rahi ho mai toh bas mazak kr rahi thi."

"Aap mazak bohot bura krte ho di."

"Ji haa aapke aur sirf aapke kya mere khudke pati bhi yahi kehte hai."

Sara laughed as Shahneel told her the stories of her and her husband with doing her work.

"Mujhe zyada time nahi Mila Sara tumhare saath bitane."

"Koi baat nahi ab toh yahi hu na ab kr lijiye."

"Ohh Sara, I am leaving after breakfast today."

"Kyu? Itni jaldi kyu jaa rahe hai aap?"

"Kyunki your bhaiyya urf my husband is very busy and has to get back to work as soon as possible."

Sara pouted as she was leaving soon, she loved Shahneel's teasing company but it was life, tends to move on.

"But it's okay, maybe we can meet during some matches. Jab bhi Shub ke matches Delhi ya kahi aas pass hote hai I always attend them."

"I will try."

Soon she was done with the cooking with Shahneel's company and they were all on the dining table. Sara sat beside Shubman who smiled at her and they all their breakfast. After that their family bid bye to Shahneel and her husband and everyone retired to their room after Sara was gifted something by everyone.

When she came in their room she saw Shubman lying on the bed scrolling through his phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing much, important logo ke messages ko reply. Thank god no one knows about my marriage or my phone would have been hanged. Waise where were you?"

"Maa was giving me all the gifts which I was supposed to get from everyone for the sweet I made but since everyone was in a hurry they left it with maa."

Suddenly Shubman got up from the bed and went in the closet while Sara was busy keeping everything in the cupboard. She could feel his presence on her back as he came back from the closet and then she felt something cold on her neck.

She looked down to see Shubman tying a nuptial chain around her neck which was so simple yet so beautiful.

"Mummy ne bola the wedding one is heavy and you won't be able to wear it on a daily basis so this simple one which you can always wear, I hope you liked it."

"I loved it Shubman, thank you for this."

Shubman smiled and turned her around before closing the door of the cupboard and her back touched the door as he came forward.

He smiled as she held his tshirt in his grip and he pushed his one hand behind her waist pulling her closer to him while one went to her nape.

He was feeling warm holding her close, he bent a little and kissed her forehead and then her nose. Not able to control his growing affection for her he gave a deep kiss on her cheek making a sound and she blushed.

"Tum kitna sharmati ho."

"New brides are supposed to be shy and moreover you always do something to make me shy."

"Jaise hi bolta hu tumhare pass toh reply humesha ready rehta hai."

"Kyu kuch problem hai? Aur mai bhi keh sakti hu tum bhi blush krte ho."

"Nahi problem nahi hai and maine kab blush kiya?"

"Umm I will show it to you."

"Accha ho.."

His words died in his mouth as he felt her lips on his adam's apple making him such a sharp breath. She kept her lips there for a moment before coming back to her place.

"See your ears are pink and your cheeks too."

Shubman closed his eyes resting his forehead on her shoulder and sighed.

"You are something else Sara, you will be my death one day."

"Please don't mention death, hospital mai dekh dekh ke thak gayi hu mai aur ab apni ko nahi khona chahti."

"So I am your apna?"

"Ofcourse, you are my husband, my other half."

He again blushed and she chuckled before wrapped her hand around him, she always felt peaceful whenever she hugged him. Away from the chaos of life in his arms.

"See you blushed again."

"Ek baar mera chance aane do we will see who blushes."

"Hmm we will see."

"Accha suno na."

"Since you know 25th se champions trophy is starting so for that I have to go to Sri Lanka. You will come with na?"

"Ofcourse I will and maa papa?"

"Maa papa? They will be back to Punjab."

"Back to Punjab matlab?"

"Sara, maa and papa came here because they wanted to see me settled. When I came to see you tab unhe yaha aake sirf 1 month hua tha and now that I am settled with a gorgeous wife they will be leaving to our Punjab home tomorrow."

"Why didn't anyone say this to me?"

"It might have slipped out of mummy's mind and I thought she might have told you so.."

He said playing with her hair on the back.

"So we are gonna be alone here?"

"Hmm yes we will be alone. I will be out because of matches but most of the time I will be here only going to the ground for practice and I will make sure to take you with me whenever I get chance."

Sara kept quite after that and he hugged her tight letting each other soak their warmth.

"Why didn't we cuddle last night?"

He asked and she blushed looking down, yes he definitely had the capability to make her blush.

"I don't know maybe I was nervous and you felt like you should not make me uncomfortable. Hai na?"

"Yes, you know me so well."

"Ab chodo mujhe I need to set the closet properly."

"Aree why the workers will do it na."

"I don't want anyone to look at my personal stuff atleast utna toh khud krne do."

She pleaded with her eyes as he was not ready to leave her and he sighed kissing her cheek. He so had the heart to tease her but he also knew they were getting late, her father would be here soon to take her home for the day and drop her back in the evening for the pag phera.
