Megha's POV:

"What" i asked with a clueless expression.

"Exactly! What happened to you? You just zoned out!" He exclaimed.

"No I'm not!" I played innocent.

"You're giving wierd expressions and you didn't answer when i called you!" He yawped.

"It's... It's because, i think i saw a white hair on your head." I lied in perplexment.

"What!" He opened his mouth baffled.

Oh no! What have I done! In order to hide my embarrassment i made him galling in self consciousness.

He was constantly adjusting his hairs with his hand, maybe trying to cover that invisible white hair from my sight. He must be feeling dolorous listening about these things from his newly wedded wife.

He was looking cute while doing that. Though i wanted to laugh at his actions i tried to divert the topic.

"Shall we watch some TV" i suggested while taking a seat on other side of the couch where Koushu was sitting on.

"Yeah! Sure." He took the remote from the shelf and switched on the TV.

"Do you like football?" He enquired flipping through some sports channels.

"Umm, no. I'm not that much fan of sports." I shrugged.

"Okay." He flipped some more.

He stopped on the channel which was playing the movie 'yem Maya chesave' (a telugu film), it was playing the scene in which the hero and heroine both were kissing in her backyard behind the plants.

Blood rushed to my cheeks and i adjusted on my seat. From the corner of my seat i could see he was also adjusting awkwardly on his seat while composing his sitting posture.

I grabbed the remote from him feeling uncomfortable due to awkwardness and stopped at a channel in which 'the holiday' movie was playing. Just then Cameron Diaz and Jude law decided to kiss more passionately than the last scene we'd seen.

Wow i just made this super awkward. While inconveniently shifting in our seats we didn't know when we came close to each other in that three seater couch. Our shoulders were touching passing an electric surge through my body. I felt a shiver through my body for a second when he joined our hands. When i looked at him i found him already looking at me. We were looking into each others eyes. His eyes were boring into my eyes like he could read my soul.

He slowly cupped my face with his one hand. His cold fingers touched my cheeks sending shivers through my spine. His warm breath was fanning my face, i closed my eyes in euphoria. He started to trace my lower lip with his thumb pad of another hand. I don't know what was happening to me, i just wanted him to replace his fingers with his lips on mine. I wanted to kiss his lips so hardly right at this moment. Just then the door bell rang and he immediately removed his hands, i too opened my eyes a....nd we moved apart.

Whoever that would be i wanted to smack their head really hard. How could anyone have such bad timing, idiot.

"Umm I'll go and check." He went to answer the door bell and came back with a pizza box.

"Since we had early dinner, i thought you might get hungry." While saying this he passed me the box. 'Wow my husband is so thoughtful and caring' i thought. He has another box but he didn't gave it to me. I wonder what might be in there.

I took it with a big smile, it's a large Mexican green wave pizza, wow my favourite.i squealed in delight. Koushu shook his head with a smile while looking at me.

He went to the kitchen with the other box and returned with two large glasses of sprite. He passed one to me.

"Thank you" i took it with a grateful smile. But how did he know about my favourite pizza.

"How do you..." I started to voice out my doubt but he cut me off saying "Raga"

Yes! How did I forgot about my sweetest sister. These both had become a good friends already.

I carefully picked out my jalapenos and started to eat. Though i like Mexican green wave so much, i could never tolerate with the spiciness of jalapenos. But Koushu was different he was eating along with jalapenos, 'oh he could really handle spiciness' i thought, but cringed when he took the bite like it was me who ate the jalapenos.

After eating he thrown out the trash in the portable dustbin near kitchen and i washed the glasses and plates.

Ahhh I'm so full, i rubbed my stomach with my hand to ease the heaviness. But i couldn't do so, i couldn't go to bed like this, so i thought to do some work instead.

I took out the curtains to hang for the windows and doors. But to my utter surprise i couldn't reach the hanging bar on top of the window. I tried to jump and catch it but with the heaviness of my belly, it's the worst idea. I stomped my foot and huffed in annoyance.

"Want some help there Lilliput!?" My handsome husband tried to provoke me. I looked at his 'not so innocent' face and the mischievousness is clearly evident in his smile.

Oh I was so much wanted to break that face of his. But it's too pretty to got wasted like that. Atleast i should have a taste before ruined it. Afterall it's my property right. So i royally ignored his teasing and started to try again.

Then my 'oh so lovely husband' got into action and handle me that bar without even lifting his head up.

"Thanks" i muttered lowly but he clearly heard that.

"Anytime Lilliput" he ruffled my hair. Though i sincerely hate the name Lilliput but i like it when it comes from him. Atleast he got a beautiful smile on his lips when he calls me that. He don't talk much, not only with me, with everyone also. But when it comes to teasing me he was a full verbose. So I liked him to teasing me, atleast by this thing i could understand that he was trying to get our relationship more further. So I'm happy. And the happiness reflected my face in a smile.

We hung all the curtains and changed doormats, table clothes, bedsheets, pillow covers everything. After that we set to go, off to bed.

As usual we laid on different sides of the bed and i slept soon after. But don't know when he slept as he was still awake when i drifted into my slumber.

I got up on 5:30 as usual and went to do my business. After getting ready i went out to kitchen only to realise that we still need to get groceries and vegetables. Yesterday was all about buying furniture and things we need for the home, we couldn't get time to fill the kitchen and fridge so we decided to get them today.

"Coffee" Koushu asked me with a raised brow.

"I don't like coffee." I informed and started to search the kitchen atleast to find a piece of bread and eggs to make breakfast.

"You should've slept more. You don't need to get up this early. You didn't even had college for a week right." My  husband said softly, but I'm not in the mood of enjoying his care right now

"Yeah but it's the usual time i get up everyday." I shrugged and continued. "And We don't have anything to eat." I blurted out.

"Yeah! There would be no malls open at this early hours. I'll be off to jog and will get us something to eat in two hours when i return. After that we'll go and buy groceries and all. Is that okay with you?" He explained in a breath.

"Yeah! No problem." Though i said that reluctantly, but actually i was super hungry at that time. He started to went out for his routine.

"Megha aren't you hungry." He suddenly asked while standing at the door.

"No" i shook my head.

"Okay then, actually i wanted to give it to you if you were hungry. Since you're saying you're not. Just leave it." He resumed his walk with a smirk.

"Wait, what was that?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Check the right side corner cupboard in the kitchen." He went out saying that with a teasing smirk. So he knew i was hungry. When i opened that shelf i got surprised by finding there a big box which koushal brought along with pizza. When i opened it there was lot of snack items in there.

My husband's the best. I felt like he knows everything about me, what would i want, what would I like and everything. I took out a packet of readymade Swiss rolls and started to eat them. After that i prepared a groceries list of what would we need to buy, it saves time and money.

When Koushu returned after sometime he bought breakfast for us. I took them from him and started to arrange in plates while he went off to take a shower. After that he came to the kitchen and prepare his infamous black coffee and sat beside me at the dining table. He bought poori with potato curry, we devoured our breakfast and started to the mall.

When we reach the mall, we got out of the car and koushu took the trolly at the entrance. He was moving fast and i was behind him. Suddenly he stopped at his spot and look behind for me. He extended his hand to me saying "come." And i took it gladly.

I wounded my hand around his one arm while his other hand was occupied by the trolly. We finished the shopping very fast thanks to the list and now only buying vegetables is all what remains.

He took me to the food section but i dragged him out.

"This vegetables here are not fresh Koushu, that too more expensive, we should buy it at the vegetable market out there. They were fresh as well as cost effective." I protest.

He reluctantly agreed and we paid the bill for the groceries and loaded them in the trunk of the car. Next he drive us to the market but it was already so crowded. He took my hand without saying anything and took care of me through the crowd and carried the vegetable bags easily which we bought with another hand. Though i just now started to wound my arm with his, it felt like i was doing it for a lifetime already. It felt so right and i wanted to do this all my life.

We came home nearly at 10'O clock and since we have 3 hours time to lunch, i said I'll cook lunch today. Then we stacked all the items we bought in their places and Koushu said he was going to prepare paperwork for the meeting tomorrow in the bedroom.

I decided to make mushroom pulav with mushroom gravy and raitha. After i finished cooking i transfer the food to the serving bowls and dirty dishes to sink. I cleaned the kitchen and rushed to wash the dishes, but i forgot that i placed the dish wash gel on the top most rack of the cupboards. I try to jump to get that but i obviously couldn't.

Then i felt a presence behind me and soon after a hand reached to the dish wash gel bottle, getting it from the rack for me. I don't need to check who was it since i know the addictive smell of my dear husbands cologne. When he was reaching out for the bottle his chest was pressed into my back and my breath caught in my throat. My heartbeat was speeding up to the extent that i felt like it might explode. I felt his breath on the nape of my neck. The tip of his nose was imperceptibly touching my neck which made the butterflies in my stomach do salsa and Samba at the same time.

"Smells delicious." He said in a husky voice which made my feet feels like jelly.

"What!?" I asked in euphoria.

Just when he was about to answer, the door bell rang again. He composed himself making space between us and i just wanted to remove that door bell and throw it far away from our home. I hate that door bell.

"Ummm, the food's smelling delicious, so i couldn't concentrate on work and came to check what was cooking. I'll go and answer the door." He gave an awkward smile and ran off to answer the door.

I silently went to clean the dirty dishes with disappointment. since the living room and kitchen were side by side we can hear everything and can see a little bit of it too. So After a minute i heard the door opening and it followed by a voice.

"Hey darling did you missed me, i came here to entertain you, i brought food for us. Do you know how much I missed you. Come on let's go inside." That person squealed and make their way to the living room with the food bags in hand, then making comfortable themselves on the couch. That person didn't give Koushu a chance to speak. Koushu was still standing at the door with his mouth wide open awkwardly, not understanding a bit of what was happening.

My heart started to pick it's speed up for a complete different reason now.
