Inhaling his dear wife's sweet cologne husband perfect opened his eyes. Those magnificent pair of azure eyes eyed her glowing face that had an attractive smile pasted over. She looked beautiful, traces of her messy hair fell over her face making her look more gorgeous. He pulled herself more closer to him only to realise that their naked figure is pasted amazingly. Her leg between his created feelings that he tried ignoring and her smile deepened. The urge to kiss those sweet lips traveled inside his head from left corner to right. Hardly ignoring all those he tried getting up but her sleeping hand that lied over his stomach traversed up to his chest and her lips curved up more. Shivay's heart throbbed fast missing beats he felt and goosebumps crawled over.

"Don't do this, or else you may regret"

Understanding she isn't asleep he whispered in her ear and watched her open her eyes immediately. He smiled while she blushed looking down. He rolled over and rested his head over her chest and trapped her between him and the bed. Her hands tenderly brushed his hair. This feeling of peace and love pained their heart more. Just few hours before she is gone but promising that these few hours won't be forgotten ever, Shivay dropped a kiss over her chest. She smiled leaving a hot breath and made him look into her eyes. As their naked posture rubbed, butterflies rushed inside in light speed. She softly kissed his forehead and they got up. The duvet covered her but his eyes kept staring as she tried getting down with the duvet wrapped.

"As if I have not seen anything" chuckling beneath his breath he passed the comment.

Her eyes went wide and the red hue appeared over her cheeks making them warm.

"Naughty" she replied looking away.

"If being naughty means making you scream my name at nights then yes, I am" he winked shamelessly.

She hurried her steps away from him making sure that they won't start doing it again. Because his single gaze does millions of things inside her.

His words were already making her turned on then what would his touch do if he manages to get hold of her, thinking so her cheeks reddened more. She looked more beautiful as her blush deepened making him crazy for her. Her every move mattered to him more and he fell more in her love.

"Let's take bath together wife" he suggested inching close.

Shock after shock, she stared at him blankly before showering him with lectures of him not having any shame. Listening to her words carefully he inched close and rested his hands over her waist fearing their intention.

"I would miss this" he softly mumbled and kissed her forehead.

Pain in his heart matched her's. Parting himself he held up his smile because crying in front of her would make her sad. She too controlled her tears and shoot up a smile looking at him.

Their eyes fell on their messed up bed and over that stain. Looking at each other in embarrassment both bent their head down reminiscing their night. A passionate night filled with love and only love.

"I will wash it, you go and take a good warm water shower" Shivay suggested advancing to take up the bedsheet.

"I can do it" she replied back.

"It is us Anika, so if I do it then it is done by you also" he wrapped the sheet in his arms.

Dropping a kiss over her cheek mister romantic went to another washroom to take bath. She smilingly went inside and stood under the warm water falling over her skin. Washing every part she remembered him, his touches and his love. How much tender he was and how much he loves her. Tear cascaded down while her lips held a peaceful smile. She will indeed miss him but she is taking himself with her this time. She is taking his unconditional love and that respect he has for her with her. She is complete now, she felt like a complete woman now. A woman, the smile through her tears glistened bright drawing a conclusion that love is magic, though it is painful.

Hours passed, as usual she sat up over his lap while he fed her. This time his hand resting over her stomach massaged her belly as the morsels went in making jokes about her flabs. She as well gave in and enjoyed every bit of his care. Her tries to teach him few Bengali words turned out to be disaster as he invented some new words mixing up Bengali and Punjabi and both laughed in sync repeating those. An hour more flew away in jiffy and now she was ready, ready to leave him behind and go back to her normal like. Although she had a condition, the condition was that he isn't allowed to drop her to the airport in his own car rather they would book a cab. Her wish, his command. The cab came in the said time and waited for the couple. Packing was already done, he specifically checked her stuffs and sadly packed them cleanly.

"Would you please leave a dress of your over here" he demanded wrapping her from back.

"Why?" her innocent question melted him.

"Your memory" he replied dropping a kiss over her shoulder.

"I promise not to die so soon" she chuckled.

He immediately left her and moved back, his palm fisted while his eyes were closed. Missing his loving touch she turned towards him to see him standing like a statue with eyes closed. She remembered her last words and regretted, he loves her, he loves her so much to break down only at the thought of something happening to her. Thus, death is beyond imagination and she cared to say so. He would die, he simply would die without her.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean anything Bub. I am really very sorry, please please open your eyes" she hugged him tight.

His fisted palms refused to reciprocate while his heart cried. Is his love so weak that she thinks of dying without him? His heart cried more, he wanted her, he wanted more of her.

"Don't go, I would die without you. Please don't go" he reciprocated sniffing while uttering each word in its broken form.

"I will miss you more" she replied clutching his shirt tight.

Tears refused to stop, urge to not leave her alone increased more. She would miss him more, yes she would. Such a confession made the wall inside him fragile. His dear wife whom he loves above himself is leaving him alone. Although physically but he refused to accept her away from him.

"I will go with you" his voice straight and the words clear.

"Just a matter of few months, after that I will come to visit you again and stop behaving like a kid" she tried scolding but it went in vain just like her fake happy face.

Hand in hand they went out, locking the door of their heaven she looked at the house again. She would cherish all the memories she created over here on her first visit. He held her by shoulder and smiled looking at her. She returned his smile and kissed his cheek. He in turn kissed her cheek back. Butterflies returned and her stomach formed a knot.

"Let's go wifey" this in deed sounded cheesy but it sounded cute too at the same time.

"Okay my dear hubby" holding his hand she walked inside the cab.

Sitting comfortably she leaned her head above his shoulder. Taking the chance he intertwined their fingers and made circles using his thumb. Suddenly a naughty idea sparked in his mind.

"Hey Anika" his voice suddenly sounded jolly grabbing all her attention.

"Yeah say" she has become so calm after last night.

She didn't even tease him when he burnt a bread that he was preparing for breakfast rather she helped him silently. He noticed her smily lips all day and she is still smiling. Although the reason is known to him but teasing her would be so fun.

"What will you do when you will miss me at nights?" his voice was so innocent for her to get the actual meaning.

"I will cuddle to the pillow and sleep" she cuddled his hand comforting herself in his embrace.

Understanding that she didn't understood he tried forming the sentence in much intimate yet cute way.

"I meant, when you will miss our husband wife physical contact" his eyes shone in grin as the mischievous smirk spread over his face.

She immediately left his hand and eyed him. Embarrassment and blush made a combo that slowly crept up her face.

"I am not naughty like you" she looked outside the window, trying to distract herself.

Getting no further response he leaned close and held her hand. She didn't budge and kept looking out. He now slowly placed both their hands over her thigh and looked at her, waiting for some reaction but her face was still. He slowly started shifting his hand in upper direction thus making her to hold his hand and to look at him.

"Why being so naughty today huh?" she asked intertwining their fingers again.

"Because you are my wife" his toothy smile and that azure pair of eyes melted her heart.

This man would be death of her someday. How does he makes her heart to jelly everytime with his small mischiefs. She smiled to herself placing her head over his shoulder again.

Rest distance got covered in silence, soothing silence, as they have named. Daggers stabbed his heart similarly to her's while taking out her luggage from the cab. He paid the driver and thanked him for their safe drive.

"Sir, you both love each other unconditionally. Please keep this up forever" the middle aged man said eyeing them.

A sadness stayed in his eyes as he said so. Shivay and Anika noticed it but just nodded trying to not ask him anything else. The driver thanked the couple as well for some unknown reason and drove away. Anika looked at Shivay and smiled. They would always try to prioritize their relation, in every phase, in every situation.

She slowly held her luggage and left his hand. Walking way more slowly she reached the gate and stepped in, looking back at him her heart throbbed fast. How will she leave without him? Thinking of her selfish need her eyes teared up.

Seeing her in tears he ran close and wrapped her tight cooing soothing words in her ear. But the result was more of her tears. She heard him silently praying for the delay of her flight and that gave her courage. This man would stand along with her in every situation, thus, leaving with him physically or not shouldn't matter because they are connected. They are connected for eternity.

She entered checking in. Her heart saddened reminiscing all the moments they have spent together. His laughter and her anger. His naughtiness and her scoldings. His charming smile and her falling in more of his love. His simple and subtle ways to make her feel special yet behaving like it is just nothing. And lastly their special night. She blushed at the last thought. Thinking about more of him she entered her flight and took her seat. No more contact to him for long hours.

He waited outside until the time of the flight and looked at the sky everytime a flight passed. At definite time her flight started its journey flying high up. He looked up spotting the flight she is in and waved, hoping she is waving back at him too. Inside the flight with tears in her eyes she looked down at the beautiful view of the city that is slipping away slowly and waved hoping he is waving back at her.

"I love you" their hearts said as if the other would listen to it.

Magic mantra for them. Back to their old life, back to their alone life. Sighing he walked aimlessly over the street and she leaned back closing her eyes.
