Author's POV:

"Why don't you take a picture! You can see me whenever you want." Koushu teased megha.

"What gave you this confidence!?" His inner self mocked at him.

"My wife. I can see it in her eyes. I think i love her." He admitted to his inner self, finally knowing how much he likes his wife.

Megha got flustered and immediately looked down to hide the blush that took place on her cheeks due to embarrassment. She was just caught gawking at her husband red handedly.

Though Koushu likes her blush, he opted to change the topic due to he needed to start for his office soon.

"So what's for breakfast!" Koushu asked taking a seat infront of her.

"Onion dosa." Megha replied starting to pour dosa batter on the pan to make dosa for him.

"Wow." He exclaimed with a beaming smile showing his white pearls.

"Why didn't you make them beforehand, we could've eaten together." He asked taking the plate which megha handed him with hot-hot breakfast.

"Dosa tastes better when served on plate directly from pan, hot and crispy." Megha said before went to the kitchen to make more.

Koushu followed her taking his plate along with him, make himself comfortable on the empty kitchen platform beside her. Megha's face light up to a 100 watts bulb looking at her husband giving her company.

"Absolutely delicious. You know it's my favourite breakfast." Koushu told megha enjoying every bite in delight.

"Really, then have more." Megha put another dosa in his plate. He is too enjoying to said no. He didn't know how many dosa's he ate while she was serving him one after another. Megha was more than happy seeing her husband like this. Her heart was filled looking at the smile on his face, his honey brown eyes with little golden specs were twinkling with joy. She just wanted to stop that moment like that. His perfectly gelled black hair was shining in the sunlight that was seeping from the kitchen window. His Adam apple was bobbing whenever he swallow making her own throat dried up.

"If you feed me everyday like this, I'm sure, soon there would be a water melon replace my stomach." He washed his hands placing the dirty plate in the sink. Megha came out of her thoughts when she heard his voice.

"I'm sure your daily excercise will come in handy for you to maintain your hotness just like now." She chirped excitedly but gasped soon after she realised that she just called her husband hot. Koushu just looked at his wife with widened eyes without saying anything. He didn't expect his wife to call him hot, he didn't even dreamt that any girl could attract to him in that way.

When he didn't say anything, megha tried to divert him by giving him the hand towel to dry his hands.

Koushu just went to megha but instead of taking the towel in her hands she took her chunri (scarf for Indian salwar suits) and dried his hands. He didn't say anything but seems like megha understood everything and a beautiful crimson colour took place on her cheeks.

"I'll get your lunch to your office." Megha turned to Koushu, who was wearing shoes while seated on couch.

"Don't worry about that. I'll have it in office canteen." He said.

"Don't say no, please." She pleaded.

"Okay! You can leave it at the reception or you can wait for me at the canteen too. They won't allow you to the main office." He said with a smile and took out his ID card for her to note the details of him about his position, if she decided to leave it at the reception.

"Do you know the address?" He asked doubtfully.

"Ofcourse, you know my friend madhu, she runs her café opposite to your office. I think to spend sometime with her too as i was coming to your office." She explained.

"Oh! So this is why i always thought that I've seen her somewhere. Okay are you coming on your scooty." He pried further.

"I know the address but i don't know the way from here, so i think i would book a cab." She patiently answered.

"Then why don't you wait for me there, I'll pick you up after office. I'll show you the way too." He took a chance grabbing his car keys from the holder beside the main door.

"That would be great." She smiled and  sent her husband to office after wishing him good luck.

Only after he left she realised that they didn't have each other's mobile numbers. She immediately opened the door but he was no where. Thinking he was already left to parking lot, she went to their balcony from where she could see the road to which their apartment's parking lot was connected to.

She was continuously searching for her husband's car and when she found it she furiously started to waving her hands for her husband to see. It's no use of calling her guts out since he couldn't hear it from so much distance. Her face fall when his car was almost on the road, she was losing hopes for him to stop and glance at her for once.

Here in the parking lot Koushu had been seated in his car for a good five minutes since his brain started to nag at him for not giving a goodbye kiss to his wife. He really wanted to give her a kiss, if not on the lips at least on her forehead. Even that of a minute task he couldn't do it. He was so disappointed at himself. But he couldn't do anything so he started the car involuntarily.

When he was almost on the road from the parking lot, his heart wanted to take a look at the house in hopes of maybe megha would want to wave him a goodbye. His heart swelled in happiness even with the trivial thought of his wife showing affection. He really wanted to see her beautiful smile just once again before leaving. So he stopped the car and took a long breath before looking back at his flat which now looks like a home because of her. He was overwhelmed to see his wife frenziedly waving her hands towards him. He immediately climbed down from the car and looked at her not knowing what happened.

He signalled her through his hands like what! What happened?

She immediately responded by giving him signalling, she showed a finger at herself, which he interpreted as I.

Then she showed the same finger to him as You.

Then she showed her phone and signalled like she was typing something on it, which he didn't understand. She held her fist at her ear opening the thumb and little finger signalling as phone call.

Then she showed her phone again and shook her hand like there's nothing.

After a period of time he finally understood, she was telling him that she didn't have his phone number. He cursed himself for not to thought of leaving his number with megha, what if she wants something or she wanted to talk to him. But he chuckled at his wife's signs and signalled her like he was coming back to home only to stopped by megha. He raised his hands as in asking why. She just signalled him to stop and started to look sideways to check if anyone was there.

When she confirmed that no one was there she started to showing her fingers, it took a second for Koushu to understand what was she doing, when he finally understood he immediately took out his phone and note the number of fingers she was showing. After a moment she got a missed call from an unknown number. She looked at him as asking is this his!?. He waved his hand with the phone to say it's his number and they smiled at each other waving goodbyes for the final time. She laughed at his wife's antics and drove off to work happily than ever.

Megha saved her husband's number as 'My Mr. 💞'

While Koushu saved her number as 'My Lilliput ❤️'

Koushu got himself busy in work after reaching office. Megha prepared lunch, packed some in a hot pack and she ate the remaining. Then got ready to leave, booking a cab.

She went to his company and left the packed lunch at the reception giving his details with the receptionist. She immediately sent a message to her husband.

'I dropped your lunch at the office reception, make sure to eat everything, i don't wanna see any left over food. Have a great day. Bye'

She wanted to type 'i miss you' as well, but after giving it a thought she dropped that one line to make sure to know his feelings first.

She didn't get any reply, thinking he might be busy, megha went to meet her friend.

After that she went to madhu and closed madhu's eyes with her hands standing behind her. Madhu immediately recognised her friend but acted dumb to rile her up.

"Who is it?" Madhu asked innocently. Megha just gave her a slap on her friends shoulder and took the empty seat before her.

"So how did her highness thought to grace us, mere singles with her presence today!" Madhu dramatically exclaimed.

"I came to drop his highness's lunch and i have some work with you too." Megha came straight to the point.

"So you have work with me. Why otherwise you would come here." Madhu uninterestedly turn back to her computer checking the sales of last month.

"Teach me how to brew perfect black coffee." Megha blurted casually.

"To know what is perfect coffee, you should atleast know what is coffee. If you don't know the worst how would you know about the best." Madhu said inadvertently.

"Then teach me everything." Megha proclaimed.

Madhu put her head in her hands, grumbling something. She doesn't know why her best friend suddenly want to become a barista with a snap of her fingers. It took her months to learn how to be one of the best barista in the city.

"Coffee is not a beverage. It's a lifestyle, for me it's my love. If you want to learn something you need to love it first. I never know you like coffee, let alone loving it." She snorted. Maybe she's her bestfriend but when it comes to her love, which means her coffee, no one can stand a chance. That is why she was one of the best in the city.

"My husband loves his black coffee very much, infact he loves it more than anything. so i want to make him the best coffee he could ever taste. Please madhu, aren't you my darling, my baby, my love. Won't you help me please." Megha showed her puppy eyes to her friend, who was just snorting hearing her reason. Megha started to wail loudly attracting few customers in the café and getting weird looks from them. But nonetheless madhu found her friend cute, who desperately trying to impress her husband.

"Seems like someone's being jealous over coffee." Madhu shook her head looking at her dumb friend and took her to the farthest room in the storage, which is her experimental area. When she has time she tried to brew different types of new flavours in that area.

She took some equipments from her collection and took a seat at the corner suggesting megha to took another seat.

"Since you wanted to brew your husband the best coffee. I think you should learn to make a hand dripped coffee." Saying this she showed her the manual hand grinder and the chemex and tell how to use them, she showed megha different coffee beans and told her to smell them. And megha got herself busy learning how to brew perfect black coffee for her husband.
