Author's POV:

Koushu woke up a little earlier than usual. He carefully detached megha from himself and laid her comfortably on the bed, then he went to washroom and did his chores. When he came out he saw that megha made herself comfortable by hugging a pillow. He checked his mobile and saw that it was still 4:00AM, the sky was still dark. So he decided to lie down for a bit. But he couldn't go back to sleep so he turned towards his beautiful wife and saw how she slept like a baby. She was sleeping on her stomach but her face was turned to koushu. She stuffed her face on the pillow with her lips apart and made a cute pout. He chuckled seeing her. Her face was glowing in the light of bed lamp. A few strands of hair making their way on her cheeks due to the occasional wind from the window. She looked ethereal with a slight frown when her hair tickled her disturbing from sleep. She moved and shrugged a little in her sleep due to the tickling of hair on her face. Koushu carefully took the hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear without disturbing her. He doesn't know when he slept again seeing her face.

Megha got up as usual and surprised to see her husband still sleeping. 'Maybe he was tired or not in mood for the jog today.' she thought and did her morning chores. She came back and went to her morning routine, she cleaned the house and started to prepare lunch and breakfast. She also made coffee for her husband and took it to their room.

When she entered the room she already saw koushu has woken up and went to bathroom. So she kept the coffee on the dressing table and knocked on the door to tell him about the coffee. He shouted an okay from the inside and she turned to went back to kitchen to pack his lunch box.

When she turned around, she saw koushu's glasses on the bedside table. She immediately grabbed them and put them on. She can't see anything but blurred images. She squinted her eyes to see through them but she couldn't see anything. 'is it broken!?' she wondered out loud. But nonetheless she looked herself in the mirror and started to imitate koushu. She adjusted her glasses on the nose with her index finger just like him and pinched her nose just like him when he was in frustration. She was so engrossed in her fun and started to giggle herself while doing that, in all this she didn't heard the sound of bathroom door opening.

Koushu came out and saw her giggling to herself while copying his actions, she didn't even notice he was right beside her. He smiled to himself seeing her childish actions nonetheless he opted to show indifference. So he cleared his throat to get her attention and he successfully got that. She jerked her head to the side and saw her husband who was looking at her with an unknown emotion in those eyes.

She placed the glasses back on the dressing table and started to chew her lower lip. Her cheeks reddened with embarrassment. He so wanted to pull those cheeks but doesn't wanted to make her more embarrassed. So he acted like he didn't saw anything and said "Umm... Megha is that you!? Sorry I couldn't find my glasses and I couldn't see anything but blurred images without them. Can you help me find them!?" He said akwardly making hand gestures like finding where she was. He mentally slapped himself for the stupid excuse he said, he has only long distance sight problems, he can perfectly see things with short distance. He could see every corner of their room clearly. He cringed internally with his stupid acting skills.

While megha's face suddenly brightened up. Her eyes got brightened and her smile got widened. Suddenly she found a new energy in the realization of her husband didn't see any of her antics. And an idea popped into her brain. She wanted to tell her husband that she loves him, but couldn't due to the shyness and afraid of his reaction afterwards. So she decided to do it now.

But first she narrowed her eyes thinking that what if he can see and trying to make a fool out of her. So she wanted to check him herself while nodding her head. On the other side koushu was standing awkwardly didn't knowing what to do. He could clearly see that something is cooking in her mind by seeing her expressions, she was talking with herself while giving different expressions, he wanted kiss that cute little nose of hers when she scrunched thinking about something.

Suddenly megha raised her hand and showed her two fingers making a V sign on his face.

"How many fingers are these?" She asked him.

Is she stupid or what!? If she thought I was fooling her, shouldn't she has to come up with a better idea to prove me wrong. It was just silly and doesn't she know that I could lie to her again easily. He puffed out his cheeks in frustration about what he gotten himself into and answered her.

"One" he started to play along with her.

"Now?" She opened all her five fingers and asked.

"Three." He again huffed.

Now she has a mischievous smile adorned her face making his heartbeats race in anticipation of what was coming next.

She made a love symbol with her hands and showed him. His felt like his heart skipped a beat. Then she started to pull his imaginary cheeks by keeping her hands on both sides of his face without touching him and kisses her hands like she was kissing his cheeks. His heart was flipping in happiness but he couldn't show his emotions. But internally he was jumping in joy. He wanted her to touch him for real but he remained silent as to look what more she wanted to do. Then she kissed her two fingers, index and middle fingers and placed near to his lips without touching them, and mouthed I LOVE YOU. That's it he couldn't control himself and moved his face forward and touched her fingers with his lips.

He closed his eyes for a second feeling their first kiss though it's indirect. But soon reality hits him that he has to act like he couldn't see or else she wouldn't do these things again. So he squinted his eyes as acting dumb and asked the bewildered megha what was that.

"Um nothing there was something on your head and I was trying to remove that." Saying this megha dusted off that imaginary thing from his head and gave him his glasses like she just found them. He too didn't prolong it further and Megha excused herself to the kitchen with a flustered face.

After she went out koushu jumped in happiness and laughed heartfully making sure he doesn't let out too much of sound for her to hear. He took the now cold coffee from the dressing table and started to sip it with contentment. Though it's not hot it tastes heaven for him. After that he went to bathing.

Here in the kitchen Megha got busied herself by packing the lunch box in a hot pack, throw the clothes in washing machine and clean the dirty utensils from the kitchen. After sometime she remember about the coffee being cold and went to take it for reheating.

When she was about to enter the room she stopped on her tracks at the doors threshold only to see her husband just came out of shower half nakedly. She wore his office jeans and his upper body was fully exposed for her to see. He came out by towel drying his hair. He flex his arms while doing so making Megha gulp nervously. She could see the abs which she always was sure of him for having. His body was very well defined, she wanted to touch that hot and ripped body of her husband.

After that he shook his head in order to remove any excess water from his hair making some of the strands falling on his forehead. He looked beautiful with that messy hair. Then he shoved his hand through his hair making them in place and went to took his upper clothes for the day.

Megha was watching all this secretly from the outside of the threshold making herself hidden by the adjacent wall. She feels like creep for checking out her husband while dressing. But again 'he's my husband, what's wrong in seeing what's legally mine.' she pep-talked herself and continued to check him out. When he was flexing his hands and muscles while putting on his undervest and shirt, she blushed and hide behind the wall to not be able to look at him anymore due to the unknown feelings crept through her body, but again she tried to look at him not wanted to miss the chance of a personal fashion show featured by her handsome husband, that too only for her.

After getting ready he finally started to comb his hair to adjust them in place but the comb slipped out of his hands to the floor. When he bended himself to pick it up, unknowingly Megha was also bended with him behind the wall. She again straightened up herself along with him after picking the comb. She was just copying his actions without her knowing. Then finally he got readied himself and checked his bag for his necessities. Then Megha understood that it's her que to leave without him noticing her or else she would be getting herself into an another embarrassing situation. She went back to the kitchen with a blush and smile.

Koushu came to the dining table only to see his flustered wife with a beautiful smile adorned her face. He wondered what made her to smile this much and blush like this. He frowned on the fact that she was blushing on an unknown matter other than him. Nonetheless he left that matter and cleared his throat to get her out of her thoughts.

Megha immediately got down to earth and started to serve him and herself some breakfast, all the while a smile crept on her face and she didn't look at him due to shyness. But he doesn't like the fact that his wife is not looking at him.

After breakfast she gave him his lunch pack and said "finish everything and don't leave anything remain in the box. Got it!" She sent him off with a smile and get back to her work.

Days were passing happily to them like this.

On the other hand Karthik became a regular customer to madhu's café. He always do his works sitting before her giving her silent company. He would stay there after his office till she closes her shop. Then he walked her to her house which was at a walking distance from her shop and went back to get his car to finally leave to his home. Slowly Madhu also started to warm up to him without her knowing, Karthik was also happy with his budding romance and this time he was being serious, he wanted to spend all his life with her, he wanted her to be his and him to be hers.

Soon it was weekend and Karthik came to koushu's house for their new project. Megha prepared lunch and went to call them when she suddenly heard them talking.

"Sure! I'll help you. But what would I get from it!" Koushu asked cheekily.

"I love you bava! Oooommmmmaaaa!" Karthik started to peppering kissing sounds.

"Mmm" koushu groaned.

Megha's heart was starting to beat rapidly. It seems like they were kissing already. She wanted to see what was happening in the room but couldn't due to the door was closed, so she only could hear the conversation.

She placed her hand on her mouth and she started to sweat, not knowing what was happening there and what was going to happen with her life.

She again put her ears to the door to heard what they were talking or what they were doing. Then they again started to talk,

"So, when are you going to tell Megha?" Karthik asked, tension clear in his voice.

"About what?" Koushu feigned innocence.

"You know what I'm talking about. And you also know that you can be happy again, only when you talk to her what's in your heart." Karthik stated as a matter of fact.

"I know" koushu let out an exasperated sigh. "I'll soon tell her." He said determined after sometime.

"Okay now come let's have lunch, don't think too much about it." Karthik said and soon she could heard the footsteps and she went to kitchen silently.

They all had lunch as nothing happened. But Megha couldn't eat as she was busy, drowning in her own thoughts.
