Shivay looked out through the window, sun is playing games. Last night it snowed and the white roads shone so romantically. He smiled, he again dreamt of his dear wife last night. An unknown feeling made him happy. He checked the clock, more than twenty four hours have passed but Anika has not yet turned up. No calls, no messages and no connection. His longing knocked real hard. Helping himself he took out a picture of his dear wife and dreamily looked at her. That day she didn't call him to wake him up as well. He missed her, he missed her so damn much.

"You know you are very naughty, who does this to a poor lover like me?" he complained looking at the picture.

Lover, what he loves calling himself. He dreamily planned a virtual date with his dear wife when they get to see each other and was dying to share this with her. But she is nowhere near to connection and he regretted it. He yet again regretted the distance between them. How he wished to meet her once, touch her once and tightly hug her once. How he wished to pour out all the feelings and share all his dreams, that haunted him every night, to her.

"Anika, when will you stop disturbing my sleep by coming into my dreams?" he checked the time and once again tried her number but failed to reach.

As he admired her more, an employee knocked him out of his thoughts by calling him. His dreamy face soon changed to an irritated one. No works fascinated him, thus, he decided to not go to the office that day but none of his employees seems doing any work without him. For a moment he loved thinking that they are missing him but next moment he knew that it is just his employees' concern about the business.

"Mr. Oberoi, are you sure to call off the meeting?" person from other side stressed the last word.

Everyone knew, that how particular Shivay is about work and None were sure to call off the meeting when Shivay announced it on their last call an hour ago. Shivay thought upon. He was sure to get scolded from his dear wife Anika and his mother when they would come to know about him not going to work just because he did not feel like. He lastly decided to attend the meeting and informed the employee about the same. He reminisced her face and smiled in relief remembering her smile. He would wait for her, because he knew she would get back in touch with him really soon. He remembered how her lips looked really attractive when they talked last. She generally avoid any make up when at home but probably she had applied petroleum jelly, over her lips, last time they talked. The more he thought about her, it eventually led him falling for her more. For moments he forgot about last twenty four hours and tried relaxing his nerves. Praying for everything good he went to work.

The day was filled with him being worried about her and a meeting that went well. In between he contacted his mother and asked about Anika but just got to know that she is fine. He was quite sure that this distance has grew them more close but still he needed to talk to her, at least for a minute. He tried her number once again but getting back the same answer saying her phone is not reachable saddened him. He called his mother.

"Mom where is Anika? If this is a game then please ask her to stop" Shivay's voice tried being rude but worries clouded over.

"I am giving you a number, contact there to know about your wife's latest news" this piece of information and that straight tone of his mother made Shivay more tensed.

He hoped everything to be fine but one side of his heart cried that something is wrong, something is very very much wrong. His mother gave him a number, a known number to him which he recognised to be Mily's immediately.

"Mom this is Mily's number" Shivay replied back but until then the call has ended.

This never ending suspense is killing him so he dialled Mily's number without any delay. Mily picked up and replied in her usual voice. His heart beat ran a marathon in seconds but he felt embarrassed to ask.

"I have someone special waiting for you" he hoped her to be Anika, then he hoped the opposite but soon this changed to the first wish and it continued until her familiar voice hit his ear drum.

"Come back soon Mr. Oberoi, someone is waiting eagerly for you" her fake foreign accent made his heart beats even more faster.

He was at loss, he didn't get how to reply. His legs shivered as he got up and ran towards his car. He hoped to reach home safely and geared up. She is there, waiting for him. His senses numbed for moments but then picking up the pace he fastened the car more. His dreams of hugging her is going to come true. He felt too many emotions at the same time. Blood rushed fast through his channels. Mind planned so much in seconds. Last turn and then his house, she standing there waiting for him. Everything felt so correct, his anger  long forgotten. His happiness overpowered that his tears tried breaking the barricade of eyes.

As thought, she was standing there smiling ever so broadly. Her two big luggages gave her company as Mily and Thomas stood by her side. He prayed hard that this is not his another dream as he approached her. It wasn't, it wasn't his dream. She was standing there, she was there. Not getting to think anything else he ran to her getting down. She looked happy, but his tears cascaded down. He pulled her up and swayed her in air hiding his face as tears continued flowing. Feeling him crying her eyes started brimming up. She can't cry and she won't cry because she hated tears and he hated tears in her eyes.

"My arrival saddened you so much that you are crying?" her soft voice echoed.

He smiled putting her down. Her lips has perfectly formed a pout making her look even more attractive. He nodded no and dropped a kiss over her forehead. His tears still traced the path down. Her soft hand wiped his tears brushing through the stubble

"I can't see your tears mister" she said further.

He not knowing how to react just gave a nod and caught hold of her luggage. They together parked the car and went in. His eyes denying to leave her face for once. She blushed feeling his constant stare and feared to look back. These months without him was a torture but now when he is right beside her, she was unsure of her moves.

"Thank you Anika" his voice sounded wet again.

"Dare you cry" she turned and looked at him.

His eyes showed what she longed for. His pure feelings for her, that weakened her heart. Her fake anger melted and she hugged him tight. Reciprocating the hug, he dropped few more kisses over her head. She smiled engulfing him more tight. Minutes passed by as Anika sat beside Shivay keeping her head over his shoulder and he played with her fingers. She tried getting up but he held her tight, he still feared all these to be a dream and thought of loosing her once she goes away.

Is this love? They wondered looking into others eyes, pacifying their raised beats. He smiled, she looked really tired because of this long journey.

"Shivay I will cook" she suggested.

"You look tired Anika, I will cook" Shivay smiled giving her another option.

"Please" her pleading eyes, which he can never ignore.

She bathed and calmed herself down. Her stomach has formed a knot which  she regretted. Her desires spoke volume as he neared her and touched her. His single stare can help in exploding millions of crackers inside her heart. And staying with him, getting loved through his kisses and hugs excited her. It frightened her equally, she smacked her head as her thoughts turned wild and blush crept up her cheeks. Water running down her figure calmed her and lastly she went to him, with a sane mind. He has arranged everything for her, she will just have to cook. At times, she feels so lucky to have him as her husband. She cooked rice and vegetable curry. Shivay loved the taste and in that trance of happiness ate more than what he does. After cleaning up the kitchen and the utensils they retired towards their bedroom.

Both were really tired so sleeping was the only option. She cocooned in his embrace as he hugged her tight right near his heart. An unknown relief soothed them. Their fragrance made everything perfect and they slipped into their dream land.

Sun still played games the next morning. Shivay got up and saw his dear wife sleeping still. He remembered how it pained him to get accustomed to all the difference in time. Her face glowed, probably the happiness inside her exploded in sleep as well. He leisurely and carefully stroked her head. Her smile widened in sleep getting that touch of her love. He neared her face and kissed her forehead. Keeping his face near her's he inhaled her fragrance. He took time in pacifying all his inner desires and smiled. He kissed her once more and hugged her while resting his face at the crook of her neck. She immediately encircled her arm and stroked it up and down over his back for moments.

"Good morning" her sleepy voice sounded even more cute.

"You sleep, I will arrange breakfast for you" Shivay got him out of her firm hold and walked to the washroom.

She snuggled to his pillow and kept sleeping feeling the warmth his love held.

He smiled remembering how he practiced to scold her for her stupid stunt. He soon informed his employees that he got stuck into something personal so he needs two days off, his employees are way too generous and there were no meeting as well so agreeing to his demand is always possible in any of the situation. Shivay transferred all his duty to his manager for the following two days and went to prepare breakfast.

He prepared tasty egg toast and poured juice but then remembered that she was tired so tea would be better as compared to juice. He made tea super soon and arranged all those over a tray.

"Get up wife, your breakfast is getting cold" he stroked her hairs gently and kissed her forehead yet again.

He can never get bored of making her feel loved.

"Hmm" she rubbed her eyes and yawned like a baby.

Throwing her hands up she twisted them making sleepy sounds. Shivay laughed watching those and regretted of missing this every day on those past months. She walked towards the washroom and brushed up her teeth. She excitedly came out and went towards the dining table grabbing his hand. She termed the breakfast a boring one but looking at his pout she kissed his cheeks and sat down.

"It is yummy husband" she commented licking her lips and Shivay adored watching her every single antic.

She pushed a bread inside Shivay's mouth as he continued looking her. Him having tea shocked her, but the reason came out to be pretty romantic.

"I initially missed you, so this morning tea helped me getting out of that phase so yeah cheers to this morning tea" he touched both their cups and sipped the tea with utter pleasure.

"You are too cute" Anika commented pulling Shivay's cheek and then laughed aloud looking at his irritated face.

He synced her laugh and again pulled her up from the chair and swayed her in the air. Breakfast ended in a very happy note as the love birds pushed morsels into others mouth and discussed about the guests who attended their marriage. Suddenly Anika turned serious and held Shivay's hand in a firm grip.

"I want to share something about me and Ankush to you Shivay" she said.
