After an hour long bath,Saanjh stepped out of the washroom and began drying her hair,standing in front of the mirror.

Vihaan who was sleeping on bed ,happened to wake up and his face lit up with a smile when he saw Saanjh,the first thing in the morning.

Nothing can be better than this for him to start his day.

"Good morning."He said in his husky morning voice as he sat on bed.

"Good morning."She wished him back with a smile.

"When did you come home last night?I "Saanjh asked,placing the hair dryer on the dressing table and picking up the comb.

"Umm..Around 1'o clock I guess."Vihaan answered as he tossed off the blanket aside and got off the bed.

"Why didn't you wake me up when you get back home?"Saanjh demanded.

"You were sleeping so peacefully .How could I disturb your sleep and wake you up?"Vihaan sent a playful smile her way that made her roll her eyes.

Vihaan let out a chuckle at her expression.

"By the way,You're coming home very late these days." her voice came out like a complain after a minute.

"As you already know I'm gonna release a new music album .Since the release date is just around the corner ,I'm quite busy with editing,mixing, mastering,photo shoots for the cover and promotion of the album."Vihaan explained as he walked towards his closet and opened it.

"Ah,I see!Releasing a music album is no easy task. "Saanjh acknowledged while trying to tie up knot on the back of her churidar.

Vihaan hummed and focused on choosing his day's outfit.He pulled out a fresh pair of t-shirt and jeans from his closet and heading towards the bathroom when he noticed her still struggling to tie up the knot.

He shook his head and walked towards her,dropping his clothes on the couch.

"Let me do it."He said , standing behind her.

"It's alright.I can d-"her words got lost in her mouth when he took the threads in his hands and started tying them up.

His fingers against her back , brushing it lightly and still that light touch sent shivers through her nerves.

Her breathe became heavy and her heart accelerated .She squeezed her eyes shut and tried to breathe.

Vihaan was in no good condition,either.The smell of her perfume, peachy scent of her conditioner ,had him captive.He was wanting to curl his arm around her wrist and pull her closer to his chest.Then bury his face in her neck and taking in her sweet accent.He was so much wanting to hold her so close and never let her go.But he couldn't dare to.

Because despite being a husband and wife ,they have nothing physical between them.It's been two months since they got married but they didn't even share a kiss yet.

Vihaan knows that Saanjh needs time to accept him and their relationship and he is giving her that time and space.

He's okay with taking things slowly.He's working his way up and building his relationship with her gradually.

"It's done."He withdrew his hand and stepped back .

"Thank you."Saanjh whispered,meekly.

"I'll go freshen up."Vihaan said,picking up his clothes from the couch.

Saanjh nodded ,glancing up at him through the mirror.

He shot her a nervous smile and quickly made his way towards the washroom.Entering into the washroom,he could feel himself taking a huge gasp of breathe .Only he knew how hard it was for him.It has taken his every bit of self control to stop himself from making a mistake.

Although Vihaan trying to  understand Saanjh and maintaining a distance  but sometimes it gets hard for him to control his sensual desires just like today.Sometimes it overpower him and make him wish to touch her, feel her.

As for Saanjh,the moment Vihaan closed the door of the washroom ,She placed her hand on her heart and begging it to calm down.

It always happens .Whenever he comes closer to her,her heart race faster.Even the slightest physical contact with him always give butterflies in her stomach.

After all he's a man of great physique and looks.Any girl would get sexually excited by his touch and closeness.Saanjh is no different in that case.

But If you ask Saanjh ,does she love Vihaan?Well....she's not sure about it yet.

She like Vihaan as a person for his honesty,dedication, selflessness and caring nature.Since she woke up from coma,he made everything easy in her life .He does everything to make her happy and always care about her feelings.In her eyes ,he's the best man a girl could ever have in her life.

She can feel that he holds a special place in her heart.Whether it's love or just friendship,she can't surely tell.She gets stuck in that question.She really get confuse about her feelings for him.

Saanjh like him .She even feels attracted towards him .But when she try to picture him as her husband and think of taking a step closer to him,She feel a tug at her heart.Her heart feels weird.This unknown feeling always make her hesitate and she take her step back.

That's why Saanjh wants to wait a certain amount of time before moving their relationship to new levels.She wants to take things to the "next level" when she's sure about her feelings for him and she's completely ready.

Around 10 minutes later when Vihaan came out of the washroom,Saanjh was already ready for the day and making the bed.

Vihaan took his laptop in hand and settled himself on the couch .As he opened his laptop to do some office work,he noticed a new email notification and opened it.

"Oh,shit ."Vihaan's eyes widened when he read the email.

Saanjh paused on her work and  turned towards him.

"What's wrong?"She furrowed her eyes in confusion.

"I got nominated in Mirchi Music Awards for critic's choice 'upcoming male vocalist of the year 'award."Vihaan told her, smiling from ear to ear.

"Oh my god,Really!?"Saanjh exclaimed,jubilantly.

Vihaan nodded and turned the laptop screen towards her .Saanjh read the email and grinned from ears to ears in happiness .

"Oh my god!Oh my god! Congratulations,Vihaan."She gave him a congratulatory hug.

Vihaan hugged him back  and then they pulled away.

"Let's break this news to everyone.They'll be so much happy."Saanjh said,pulling his hand to make him stand.

Vihaan laughed at her excitement and nodded.

"Alright, let's go ."Vihaan placed the laptop on couch and got up."But don't get over excited.I just received nomination.That doesn't confirm that I would win the award ."He added, pinching the bridge of his nose.

Saanjh halted and looked at him.

"You will definitely get this award ."She said confidently.

"How can you be so sure?"Vihaan asked curiously.

Saanjh looked him in the eye and answered"Cause I believe in you."

Vihaan's heart flattered to hear her words .The confidence she has on him,it gave him more happiness than the news of his nomination.

"Let's go."Saanjh offered her hand.

Vihaan nodded, taking her hand with a smile and then they excitedly walked out of the room to inform their family.

The days went by swiftly and the award ceremony day finally came knocking at the door.

On the event day,in the evening,After getting dressed for the function,Saanjh was admiring herself in front of the mirror.

She loved her outfit that Vihaan'd brought for her to wear at the event.

It was a saree;a brown shimmer saree with a white halter neck blouse.

"I must admit he has a very good taste."She murmured,smiling blissfully.

She added a pair of dazzling earrings and high heel to the whole look and she was ready to slay.

As she was ready ,she walked out of her room and descended down the stairs .When she came downstairs,she found Vihaan was sitting on sofa and talking to his family.

"Vihaan!"She softly called his name to make him aware of her arrival.

Vihaan turned at her and his heart skipped a beat by the sight of her beautiful appearance.

"How do I look?"Saanjh asked.

"You look gorgeous."Vihaan said softly.

"Thanks."Saanjh blushed,lowering her gaze.

"You look handsome."She complimented him back.

"I always do."Vihaan winked at her, smiling playfully.

Saanjh rolled her eyes,shaking her head while smiling.

"Enough of praising eachother,guys."Rishi,Vihaan's cousin intervened them."You two should get moving if you don't want to be late for the event."He said .

Vihaan and Saanjh exchanged a quick glance and blushed lightly.

"Good luck,son." Malini said,caressing Vihaan's hair.

Vihaan warmly smiled at his mother .

"All the best, Vihaan."Sneha wished him good luck, following the rest of the members.

"So shall we?"Vihaan offered his arm, with the elbow bent.

Saanjh smiled and delicately put her hand under his arm and curled the hand back over it.

Then the two walked out of the house and headed to the event venue.

It took them an hour to reach the venue.The place was lit and shimmering.Red carpet was rolled along the way for people to walk into.Many people standing and posing for photographs before entering the event hall.

As Vihaan and Saanjh stepped out of the car,a series of flashes blinded them .Since Vihaan was used to it,it didn't bother him but Saanjh got nervous.Vihaan felt her hand tightened around his arm that made him aware of her nervousness.

"Don't get nervous.I'm with you."He whispered quietly in her ear.

His comforting words ease her nervousness.

She gave him a nod with a smile and began walking down the red carpet along with him.They gave some poses for couple photos before walking into the event hall.

When they walked in, the event organizer guided them to their allotted seats.Vihaan and Saanjh took their seats and started enjoying the event.

The first half of the event was full of entertainments such as celebrity performances , group dances,solo dances,singing to entertain the guests whilst the award was not presented.

Then the main part of the function;Awards announcements started and the whole environment turned intense,reflecting all the artist's hopes,fears and ambitions.

"The filmfare award for the upcoming male vocalist of the year goes to -"The host took a pause to create a suspense among the audience.

The nominees just as Vihaan had their nervous gazes fixed on the host ,hoping to hear their names as a winner.

Saanjh was way more nervous than him.She held Vihaan's hand tightly and started praying silently,closing her eyes.

"None other than Vihaan Oberoi."The host announced and the crowd burst into cheers.

Saanjh almost jumped into her seat for joy and hugged Vihaan.

"Vihaan Oberoi, please come on stage."The host requested him.

Saanjh pulled away "They're calling you on stage.Go ."She told him.

Vihaan nodded and stood up and then gracefully headed towards the stage,putting on a huge smile on his face.

When he reached up to the stage ,The guest congratulated him and handed him the trophy.

Vihaan thanked the guest and shot a grateful smile ,then he stood at the mic stand and gave a short speech to express his gratitude.

He thanked everyone who'd been with him in his success .In the end ,He took Saanjh's name, declaring her the muse of that song.

His gestures again made her speechless .Saanjh got elated,delighted. His gesture gave her immense satisfaction and made her feel special.

"Thank you so much.I love you all."He finished his speech with a bow and left the stage .

Walking down the stage,he sat down on his chair.

"Congratulations!"Saanjh said to Vihaan,looking at him in the eye.

"Thank you."He said with a genuine smile.

"Here.Take it.It's yours."He handed his trophy to Saanjh.

"Why?"She looked at him in surprise.

"Cause you're my muse.I wrote that song for you.If it weren't for you,I wouldn't have been able to make this song and won this award."He said and it made her heart flattered.

She got tears of joy in her eyes ,feeling herself very lucky to get such a person who loves her beyond limits..
