Author's pov:

After taking a quick shower Karan quickly got ready wearing a stripped t-shirt and jogger pants.Then came outside while running fingers through his hair while correcting them.

His eyes wandered for her and he made his way towards the kitchen not finding near the dining table.

Soon his eyes caught her preparing something in the kitchen.Preeta saw him and then again turned her gaze towards the parota which she was roasting.

Whereas karan smiled looking at her and stood beside her.He opened the lid of the vessel beside her only to get surprised,

"Ahm! Paneer!"karan whispered as the fragrance hit his nostrils raising his hunger.

A shy smile crept her lips listening to him and she quickly turned off the gas while placing the last parota in the wooden tray basket.

Karan got to know that she must have prepared for him because paneer was his one of the favorites.

He was about to say something that preeta quickly left the kitchen with food making him frown.

He left behind her and sat on the chair looking at her as she was placing everything on the table.He kept looking at her as she continued to ignore him which was surely annoying him.

"Preeta"he called holding her wrist and made her sit at last.

"Now can we start? I am starving!"he muttered meekly.

"Ha..ha"preeta nodded and placed a plate infront of him.

She served him and even for herself.Karan smiled at her and without wasting any second tore a piece of parota to stuff in his mouth.

"Umm!"karan moaned after taking the first bite and looked at her with heart eyes.Food prepared with her hands was reminding him of his mother.A homely food which made him feel like home.

Preeta smiled and looked at him eagerly.

"Is it good?"she questioned with a slight smile.

"It's delicious!"karan replied turning her cheeks red and she quickly lowered her lashes feeling timid.

This was the first time he complimented her directly! She was on cloud nine listening to him as he praised her efforts.

She too started eating while living the moment in a silence not knowing what to talk to him further.

"Really mujhe mom ki taste yaad aa jati hai, tumhare haath ka kuch khaya toh"karan said with a smile.

Preeta's heart fluttered listening to him, she couldn't believe that he was comparing with his mom's food.

"Rakhi ma jitna toh accha nahi banati hu mein, tum meri insult kar rahe ho?"she questioned him with a slight pout.

Whereas karan widened his eyes listening to her.

"Hey! Mein sach mein keh raha hu..I mean it's amazing! Meine dil se bola hai. because mom bhi mere liye kuch banati hai toh pyaar se banati hai"he paused and smirked,

"Abb tumne bhi mere liye hi banaya hai toh pyaar se hi banaya hoga na..so it's tasty!"his answer made her shocked.

She was literally surprised, she became speechless with a lack of words.

She gulped down her throat and looked at him furrowing her eyebrows.

"Kya hua?"karan asked gaining her attention.

Preeta simply shook her head in nothing and resumed her dinner with a difficulty.Meanwhile karan chuckled eyeing her occasionally in between his dinner silently.

.

.

.

After having their dinner preeta went back to the kitchen picking everything.karan came inside after completing his dinner and washed his hands in the basin.

Then he stood there leaning to the kitchen slab looking at her as she was cleaning the counter and placing all the things properly.

"You must be tired, woh sab subhe Maria kar legi come on let's sleep"karan said stopping her.

Preeta looked at him and said,

"mujhe aise messed up accha nahi lagta.It is just a work of 5 minutes"Saying she took a step towards the basin and washed her hands.

"Chale?"he asked again once she was done.

"Kaha?"she questioned back confusingly.

"Are sone keliye aur kaha?"he answered shaking his head.

"Ha wo tum ja ke so jao..mein bhi thodi der mein so jaungi"she quickly said wiping her hands with a napkin.

Karan raised his eyebrows suspiciously and held her wrist.Preeta widened her eyes and looked at him.

But he ignored her expressions and dragged her out of the kitchen before turning off the lights.

"Karan"preeta called him but he didn't stop until he took her to his room and faced her.

"Aise kyu leke aaye?"she queried.

"Kyu matlab! It's Already ten and we should sleep now, come on"he said and took her to the bed.

Preeta gulped listening to him and took her hand back standing beside the bed.

"H..ha tum so jao..mein bhi sone hi ja rahi thi"she stammered a little looking around but not him.

Karan glared at her and stood decreasing the distance between them.

"Tum kahi ja nahi rahi ho, you are sleeping here..with me!" He emphasized the last word and leaned towards her.

She stepped back but her legs touched with the cot making her stand still and looked at him nervously.

"Mei..mein.."she was about say that karan interuppted raising her nervousness.

"Tum?"he asked staring at her face.

"Mei..mein wo!"this time she paused not knowing what to say further and consumed her saliva feeling frightened.

"Mein, tum..woh! Ye sab chodo aur so jao"he chucked at her expressions and her stammering words.

"Mein wahi so jaungi"she muttered immediately and lowered her lashes.

Karan raised his brows at her and tried to look at her face but she was gazing at the floor interlocking her fingers.

He sighed observing her vividness which clearly showed that, she was going to run away if he moved away from her.

"It's done preeta! I had given you enough space, You had been away from this room for two weeks.I cannot take this anymore. you should sleep here and also shift your each and every thing back into our room by tomorrow" he announced and held her arm.

Preeta looked up to him surprisingly.She didn't get how easily he was confessing his feelings as here she was not even able to utter a single word looking at his face.

She silently stared into his eyes searching for the love he confessed.When she felt attracted to those dark orbs seeing her reflection into them with sparkling eyes.She lost there, her heart begged for him, her eyes craved for his look, her body longed for his presence.

"Preeta!"he called brining her back to earth and slightly pulled her close.

"Hn?"she mumbled absent minded.

"Answer me! You want to stay with me right?Mere saath rahogi na?"he asked gloomily.

Suddenly her heart sank when his expressions changed turning sad and then she couldn't help but nodded slightly giving him an answer.

"Words, say yes or no? You want to stay with me?"he again asked holding her a little more close than before.

"Ha, ha karan!"her answer came so desperate that he should get to know what she wanted from her heart and mind.

He smiled showing his dimple cheeks and held her face.leaning a little more he placed a kiss on her forehead and lingered his lips there for some seconds making her body relax and happy.

Preeta smiled pressing her lips together and held his hands.There was no way her mind was saying something negative or neutral.Beacuse she wasn't listening to anything except her heart.

She knows that she cannot live without him.And after knowing that he was in danger she was numb.Fortunately now he was with her fit and fine and she didn't wanted to feel that situation ever again in her life.

She regretted ignoring him these days.She regretted not sharing her feelings for him.But now she had decided she won't hide anything from him, it may be related to her feelings or about others.She wanted to love him more than before.

Not a man, not her best friend, she wanted to love her husband, her better half.She wanted to start a new journey with him and she knew once she initiates there was no going back.she was ready to face every probelms which will be her obstacle to reach him everytime, if any arrises.

"I love you! Preeta"he confessed looking into her eyes which resulted in butterflies to erupt in her belly.

Preeta looked at him emotionally and just embraced him feeling overwhelmed.She had never imagined after their marriage that one day she will hear those words from his mouth.That too with so much love for her.

Karan smiled surrounded his hands around her waist and hugged her back.He was loving it whenever he confessed his love in front of her.It always made him feel blessed that she was his.

"Tu...tum fir se mujhe yaha chod ke nahi jaoge na? Mein tumhare bina nahi reh sakti karan"she whispered closing her eyes feeling his warmth which she missed these days.

"I promise! Kabhi nahi..agar kahi Jana pada toh bhi tumhe aise sad chod ke nahi jaunga babydoll"he said hiding her in his embrace with a smile.

Preeta frowned with moist eyes and faced him.

"Tum kahi nahi jaoge karan! Kabhi nahi"she said shaking her head in no like a kid.

Karan sighed listening to her and said,

"Nahi jaunga! Don't cry now"he said with a sad pout and made her head rest on his shoulder.

Preeta snuggled on his shoulder sobbing internally and closed her eyes.

"Now, come on let's sleep!"karan muttered caressing her hair in order to calm her.

Preeta lifted her head and nodded in return.Karan took his hands back and took a step forward to reach the bed.

Her face turned gloomy with his detachment.His embrace was warm making her feel calm and sleepy which she needed the most now.

"Come on"karan hopped on the bed on his side and called her who was standing there lost in thoughts.

She nodded her head and sat on her side of the bed.Lifting her legs she placed them on the bed and layed down without meeting his gaze.

But karan's eyes were gaping at her observing her every action.He was facing her side and preeta was laying on her back staring at the ceiling.

He smiled seeing her side view but he sensed her silence and pale face which sank his heart.He knew she was totally disturbed and lost because of him and especially today.

"Preeta"he shifted towards her still maintaining some distance.

She abruptly turned her head towards him being perplexed.

"Sleep!"he muttered and meekly placed his palm on her hand which was resting on her belly.

She gasped and narrowed her eyes as he took her right hand and held it.

"Turn that side"he gestured.

Meanwhile preeta anxiously turned facing her back to him as he forcefully made her sleep on her left shoulder.

Immediately her heart sank because of his actions.She thought he didn't want to look at her while sleeping.

Why?

But before she could process anything further her back felt warm and her heart beat rose abruptly feeling him right behind her.

And within no time she felt her hand slipping on her waist which he was holding and embraced her.Her mind went crazy for few seconds with this new change.She couldn't believe he was sleeping holding her like this.

Whereas karan pulled her close making his chest to collide with her back making her condition more difficult.He meekly snuggled in her back and closed his eyes to slip into deep slumber after many days.

Preeta swallowed her saliva feeling nervous with a cry baby face.His embrace was the only thing she was craving but when he was close to her she didn't know what sensation it was giving her body that she was restless as her heartbeat was running at it's maximum.

She furrowed her eyebrows and then shut her eyes while holding her breath.Again opened them not knowing whether to simply sleep like this or not, as she was not able to control those sensations running though her every nerve feeling his touch.

"Ka..karan"she mumbled in agitation which wasn't even audible to her properly.

Not hearing any response from him she closed her eyes tightly as her breath was getting uneven.

She took a deep breath and then exhaled trying to calm herself in his embrace.She got to know that he didn't hear her voice and was sleeping while cuddling to her.

knowing that he was exhausted, she didn't have any heart to disturb him or make him sleep away from her.He must be weary.

She thought and drowned herself in thoughts trying to change her mind.A small smile crept her lips remembering his heartfelt words.The way he said he wants her to stay with him in a same room really made her feel joyful.

And like this her thoughts continued and when she came out of her reverie after sometime she was stunned feeling safe and happy in his arms.She was no more restless.Her heart was already stable and was beating normally in happiness feeling peaceful.

She wondered surprisingly.When he is awake and looks at her, her heart beat raises making her feel weird beautiful things.But when he was sleeping taking her in his arms she felt calm and happy.

This felt magical!

Does he do something magic on me?

She pressed her lips while thinking and eyed at his hand which was resting on her waist above her hand.She tried to remove his hand from her waist as it again affected her senses.

But as she slightly raised her hand his hand directly slipped on her waist.That was not enough to raise her anxiety.Subsequently she felt his hand grabbing her waist pulling her closer.Her breath hitched in her throat realising his strong hold on her.

Mummy!

She cried in her mind with a puppy face and bit her lower lip to control the emotions flowing through her body with his contact.She gulped and shut her eyes trying to sleep as soon as possible before his further actions would affect her beauty sleep.Because she knew it was the only option left for her now.

With a difficult sleep consumed her after another ten minutes and she must have thanked god in her dream.

Also she was grateful for today.Everything happened unknowingly but she was glad it happened and made her confess her feelings.She felt relieved.

Moreover sleeping next to him is something which her heart craves and longs.Unknown to her a beautiful smile adores her lips while sleeping in his warmth after two weeks which was more than enough for her.

Night turned into a chirpy morning and the sun was about to arise making his way.The atmosphere was so scenic that karan stretched his arms walking towards the balcony before covering her properly with the quilt.

He sat on the chair while drinking a glass of water and gazed at the sun who was raising meekly.

Karan smiled hoping for his life to turn like the beautiful sunrise each day and if it sets he promised himself that he will make sure to rise again like every morning with new hopes.

He turned his head and looked at her who was still sleeping while cuddling to the pillows around her.He wondered whether she was missing his presence or not.

A chuckle escaped his lips and he shook his head with a grin diverting his gaze towards the tall buildings and the sky again.

Yesterday's incident ran across his mind and he was astonished remembering her reaction when he came back.That fear and tears in her eyes pained his heart and the memory was still fresh in front of his eyes.

And especially her words aroused his heart.he felt blessed to have her as his life partner.Now he was realising that his parents chose a perfect and lovable girl for him.with whom he had spent most of his childhood days.

He couldn't believe a talkative, annoying and chirpy girl has turned into a beautiful, silent and lovely wife.But the only thing in her he felt the same was she still behaves like a small child which becomes difficult for him to handle her some times.

But he was ready to bear her childishness and her every tantrum now.Because his heart was captured by her and he couldn't help but to think about her every now and then.

Karan stood up realising the time and thought to wake her up today.He never did that but now he wanted to wake her up by disturbing her beauty sleep.

He walked towards the bed and sat beside her.He gazed at her sleeping figure taking his time.Her cute nose was normal without a tint of redness at the tip and her rosy lips were in a straight line as she was in a deep sleep.

Karan scrunched his nose staring at her and lifted his hand to remove hair strands from her face.A frown appeared on her face feeling his touch and her lips quikered a little forming a slight pout.

And his fingers itched to touch them badly but he fisted his fingers and shut his eyes shaking his head.He got to know that if he keeps gawking at her like this there were a chances of him doing something crazy and he gulped taking a deep breath.

"Preeta"he quickly called her jerking his so innocent thoughts through her shoulder.

She didn't even bulge listening to him.he again called gaining her attention this time a little loud disturbing her sleep.

"Um!"she mumbled feeling irritated and turned to the other side to sleep again.

"Preeta hospital nahi jana hai kya?"he questioned holding her and slightly shook her again.

Till now she got slightly awake with his voice but what caught her attention was his presence.Her eyes shut open in shock.

Wait.. what?

Is he trying to wake me up?

She literally couldn't believe this was happening.Quickly turning to a side she saw him blinking her eyes and lifted her hand to touch his face.

Before any reaction could appear on karan's face she immediately withdrew her hand when she felt him real and gulped nervously.

This isn't my dream!

Whereas karan giggled seeing her and raised his brows at her.preeta simply shook her head in nothing and sat on the bed furrowing her eyebrows feeling embarrassed.

"Well! It's already 7:15 Am, so I thought to wake you up!"karan reasoned and stood with a smile.

"Oh..ha! It's fine"she nodded to him and stood up from the bed while correcting her hair.

"One more thing, I am leaving for office a bit late today, so I will drop you to the hospital while going"karan informed her.

"Okay!"Preeta returned a small smile and nodded feeling happy.

.

.

.

Karan gave a mesmerising smile gazing at her from head to toe.she wore a baby pink coloured floral anarkali.Today her hair was left open and he couldn't stop himself from staring at her while leaning to his car till she reaches him.

Preeta lifted her gaze and eyed at him.He still didn't avert his gaze but continued looking at her, now with a handsome smile which made her little suspicious.

She raised her brows asking him 'what' feeling a little nervous.And that is when he gave a whipped grin in response and turned to open the door for her.

"Sit" karan said opening the car door for her and preeta sat with a small nod.

He came to the other side and sat.Wearing his seat belt karan smiled at her and received a same smile from her before kicking off the car.

Preeta turned to face the window feeling some weird sensations and joined her lips while gazing outside.

"Preeta" Karan gained her attention after sometime and preeta startled before facing him.

"Hnn?"she asked.

"Shaam ko kitne baje aaogi?"his question really surprised her.

"Same, at 6 pm!"she answered.

"Okay!"karan hums concentrating on the road.

"Haa"she nods giving him a perplexed look.

When he became silent after that she couldn't control her inner turmoil and asks.

"Kyu?"she queried.

"Sorry?"karan asked her confusingly.

"Woh..kyu pucha? I mean mera timing pucha na tumne abhi!"she explained.

"Oh! Wo meine bas aise hi pucha.. nothing important"karan answered casually and preeta shook he head with a nod.

In another ten minutes they reached her hospital and karan stopped the car near entrance.

"Bye"Preeta looked at him and said with a smile.

"Bye"karan nodded looking at her.

As she got out of the car, turned around and looked at him again making his heart beat to raise.

Preeta smiled not knowing what to say and again muttered a "bye" through the window.

He chuckled with a wide smile and waved at her "bye".

She wanted to say something, but she didn't even know what she should say before going other than a simple 'bye'.

Furrowing her eyebrows in dismay she pressed her lips together and turned to go.

"Preeta"

She quickly turned back and looked at him hearing a voice.

Karan raised his eyebrows at her thinking if she needs something.

"Di..did you call me?"she questioned confusingly.

"abhi?"he asked furrowing his brows and she nodded.

"Nah, you were going right!"karan replied and preeta scolded herself for behaving  clumsy.

But I heard him calling me!

She thought again but abruptly jerked that thought knowing her crazy concise and smiled back at him nervously.

"Yeah! Sorry bye!"she said the last bye of the day and was about to turn that he really stopped her.

"Preeta"she heard it but thinking it as another game of her mind she didn't turn and took a step gently.

"Preeta!"he again called a bit loud this time and she paused on her steps.

When she turned he was smiling at her and slightly leaned from his seat look at her.

She stood at the other side and waited for him to say something.And to her surprise his further words gave rise to butterflies in her stomach making her smile like a love sick puppy.

"You look beautiful"he commented with dazzling eyes and in no time her heart filled in delight.

She didn't say anything in return but a timid smile which broke her lips was enough for him to understand her situation.

She immediately turned around and bit her lower lip with a shy smile.Whereas karan chucked at his wife's expressions and started the car.

He was about to go when preeta turned around and smiled giving him a mini heart attack and there he knew he was completely whipped.

Scratching the back of his neck he started the engine and drove off shaking his head.
