Author's POV:

Megha was learning to brew coffee in barista style from Madhu in super serious mode, like she was giving her first board exam. While madhu was finally excited to share her love and knowledge on coffee with her bestfriend. She showed little techniques in preparing and share her the premium methods of making it in different styles like machine, hand dripped etc. etc.

After an hour of class on coffee details, megha was totally confused and let out a long tired sigh. She asked her friend to show her the normal home method that she could be able to brew for her husband anywhere without any special equipment.

Though madhu was dispirited for a second, she understood that maybe she was implanting too much information for the already pea sized brain of her friend which is now totally filled with her husband.

On the other side Ram(koushu) was busy with his new project occassionally being distracted by the thoughts of the beautiful girl who stole his heart in just mere days who was now his wife.

He was studying the clients necessities to design the program when Karthik called him to have lunch. Ram wanted to skip lunch, thinking about the canteen's boring and tasteless food when he suddenly remembers that megha was to send him lunch pack.

He immediately started to search for his mobile which was dumped under the papers, scattered on his table beside the monitor. When he finally found it from the dump yard on his table, he retrieved it at once and saw the message from megha.

'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.'
 
Was the summary of the message. The tone used in the message was almost threatening. Automatically his lips curved upside reading it. Until now only his mother use this tone with him.

He rose to his feet and started to stride towards the reception without saying anything to Karthik, when the said friend felt baffled seeing him like this. Karthik felt surprised hearing no groan from his best friend, because he knows Ram never liked their office food. Though it taste good, it never made Ram's heart filled. So Karthik always used to share his lunch packed by his mom with his bestfriend.

"Ram wait.." calling his friend, Karthik catched up to him and the duo went to the reception.

"Wow, someone's gotten a homemade food today!" Karthik teased seeing ram took the lunch box from the reception.

Ram didn't comment and just gave him a light smile. The two went to canteen and opened their lunch boxes. Ram's face brightened seeing the dishes, it was white rice with tomato pappu (curry cooked with yellow lentils and tomato) along with potato fry. There was curd rice too. He used to occasionally call his mom during lunch and dinner time saying how much he missed her food making her worry and sad, but now he wants to tell her that she doesn't need to worry about him from now on and he was happy.

He took a picture of his lunch to send to his mom later, because the lunch was awaiting for him and he don't want to waste anymore time without devouring it. So he digged in the delicious food and felt content only after finished it completely, obliged to megha's words he didn't leave any food in the box remain.

After finishing lunch he sent a quick reply to megha "Thanks for the lunch. It was really delicious." He send that. He wanted to send an 'i miss you' along with a heart emoji but didn't. He realised his attraction towards her and he knows that he was falling hard for her day by day, at the same time he wasn't sure if she feels the same too. Sure he knows that she likes him due to her acting dazed whenever she checks him out. She always looks at him as he was her delicious meal that she wants to devour, she even forgets to blink her eyes when she was around him.

She thinks he doesn't know anything about her checking him out, but he knows everything. He was sure they have feelings for each other so he wanted to propose her with a romantic date, he was just waiting for this project on hand to finish so that he could finally have a peaceful date with his Lilliput.

He shook his head to come out of the thoughts of his bewitching wife and opened WhatsApp to send the lunch photo to his mom. After he sent that with a smiley his fingers involuntarily took him to the profile picture of his wife. When he clicked on the icon his face was adorned with a frown upon seeing the photo of a man.

That man was handsome, he was much more fairer than him. He had a buzz cut. He was winking with a nice smile in that picture. Ram can see he was bulky, not that his own muscles were any poor. He had tattoos on his arms. Overall the man was looking handsome, a handsome hunk. But the question is who was that hunk!?

He looks like a foreigner, or not, he wondered. He doesn't know about any actors or stars since he didn't see any non-telugu movies. But he was sure that he wasn't an actor. Because two days before when he was sitting on the couch with megha racking on which movie to play, he advised her to pick any of her favourite actors or actresses movie, but she refused saying she didn't have any favourite particularly. So this guy must be her crush, he settled.

Suddenly his flying heart was sank deep into the enormous ocean. A wave of sadness washed over his face. His smile has faltered. He wanted to find out who he was but he couldn't ask megha about him straight forwardly. So he decided to push that matter to the backseat of his brain for now and went to his cabin to resume his work.

After work he and Karthik both went to madhu's café and been told the girls were in madhu's personal room. So they ordered their coffees and decided to wait for the girls to finish their business.

After 10 minutes megha and madhu stepped out of the personal room only to see the two men having coffee there.

"Koushu" megha let out a happy squeal seeing her husband after a long day of awaiting. Ram's lips were curved up a little listening to his favourite voice.

"OOO koushuuu" Karthik dragged a little more than necessary with a teasing smile which in result got a deathly glare from Ram. Only his wife could call him that.

Soon megha and koushu left for their home bidding bye to their friends. Madhu turned to Karthik as he was not budging from the place.

"Ain't you leaving, they both were long gone." Said madhu with a raised brow.

"Nah! I've some work." Karthik winked at her.

When she opened her mouth to say something, he opened his bag and then took out his laptop placing it on the bar between counter and his seat. It was like madhu sat at the billing counter where they had a bar placed with few seats on the other side. Karthik adjusted himself facing her and she gave a frustrated sigh.

When madhu opened her mouth to say something after sometime, she again stopped by working karthik looking directly into her eyes and he ordered a double shot of espresso.

After giving him that she was also busy in her work. After an hour or so when the customers were less crowded and only few of them left in the café, she looked at Karthik and a beautiful smile adorned her lips seeing the handsome man indulged in his work completely without a care in the world. As if he felt something Karthik raised his head to look at her but she immediately turn her head to the customer who came to pay the bill.

Karthik just shrugged off and immersed in his work yet again. And madhu being busy in looking at the concentrated Karthik who looked attractive while working.

Here both koushu and megha reached their home. When they were stepping into the home, megha remembered about milk and curd packets and sent koushu to get them. When he was going again with car keys, she stopped him and gave her scooty keys saying that car was too much for a small thing and a small distance too. He nodded and went to get the dairy products.

Till he back megha got changed and started to cook dinner. Koushu gave them to her and went to freshen up.

When he came back from the shower with just a towel, he directly went to the long mirror at the dressing table in their room and looked at himself. He opened the saved pic of the unknown handsome hunk from megha's profile pic and started to imitate his pose. After comparing his biceps and all for sometime he throw his mobile on the bed and changed into some shorts along with an undervest, the sleeveless undervest make his defined  body looks ripped. After that he checked out himself again and went to living room and took a seat casually on the couch.

Megha knead the chapathi dough for dinner and leave it to rest for sometime. As there was some morning curry (tomato pappu) left remains she doesn't want to cook any other curry. Besides she likes her chapathi with dal more than usual potato curry. So she made some punugulu (snack from South India) with the left over dosa batter from morning and took them to the living room calling koushu.

As she was entering she saw koushu was already took his seat and started to surf the tv channels. She placed the snacks and water bottle on the coffee table before the couch and took a seat on the one seater couch. After making comfortable she look at koushu to say something to him but her words got stuck in her throat looking at her husband.

Koushu can see his wife's mouth hung open with hitting her jaw to the floor and her eyes widen from the corner of his eyes. He internally smirked.

Koushu 1, Hunk 0

Megha was flustered seeing her husband's perfect muscles protruding through that vest. With the way he sat on the couch lazily, She can see his bulging biceps and toned chest. She can feel his abs making her want to run over her hands all of his body which was looking like shining and hard marble to her. Her throat got dried and she couldn't be able to form the words. She just wanted to rip off that pathetic excuse of clothing from his body. As soon as the thought crossed over her mind her cheeks went red making her embarrassed.

"What happened megha?" He raised his brow without directly looking at her. But he can see her from his peripheral view. She came to the earth by his voice and stuttered to form words.

"P-p-punugulu." She managed to say and he said thanks and finally looked at her not be able to control himself anymore to look at her shyness adorned face. She immediately averted her eyes and he smirked at her.

The whole evening they spend like this, he's acting like he's watching TV and she's busy in blushing by stealing glances at her husband.

After sometime she excused herself to prepare dinner and went to kitchen. As soon as she left he pumped his fist in the air, there was no limit to his joy today.

"Hey unknown hunk, I won and you lost." He muttered with a smirk and finally payed attention to the TV.

Then they had dinner. Megha brought milk to koushu and placed it in his hands. He looked at her and the glass again and again but she just stands silently waiting for him to finish that. When he opened his mouth to ask her, she just narrowed her eyes dare him to say no. He silently gulped down the liquid and put the empty glass return in her hands. She went back to the kitchen with a smile. She wanted to reduce his coffee intake. And she wants him to have a goodnight sleep, she never saw him sleeping before her and he always wokes up before her, so she decided to made him drink milk at breakfast and after dinner. After cleaning kitchen she went to bedroom and slept after exchanging their goodnights. As usual koushu waited for her to sleep first and then took her into his arms then he also drifted to sleep after giving her a forehead kiss.
