Author note:-

To be honest I really feel bad when the last chapter (chapter 38 :- You are beautiful) wasn't able to complete the target at all ever after more then 10 days. It made me upset, so much that i really felt like not updating. But still after few days I convence myself that maybe you all didn't like the chapter so much. But in my eyes the last chapter was really beautiful and i trusted my opinion and wrote this chapter.

So in this chapter I tried a little more hard to make you all like this chapter. And may be you all will like it. But still I'll say I like this chapter too.

Hope this chapter will receive your love and will complete the target soon.

Love you all...
Enjoy. ❤❤

Author's POV.

He muttered something being mesmerised by her which was the only sentence in his mind. As he said those words Meera heard him and her eyes shot toward him, There eye lock with each other and heart started to beat rapidly.

"You are beautiful"

The way he said those words with soo much emotions. His voice were soft, and wascarrying honesty send tinglish sensations to her body. His eyes were filled with love, care adoration for her.

Hearing him Meera suddenly stared feeling shy, his gaze on him wasn't helping much. She hesitantly looked away not able to look much.

They broke there trance, Meera looked away biting her lips and Arjun looked away while rubbing his back of the neck awkwardly.

Covered in silence Arjun looked around to say something but what caught his attention was the ticking sound of the clock. Sighing he looked down only to face his one of Nightmare.

He quickly looked away but he noticed Meera was looking around.

She can't see this now!!

Not now.

He didn't want her to know about it. Not now.

"Its late. I think we should sleep " gaining his posture he said. Meera agreed nodding her head.

"Come" Arjun said and grabbed her plam in his and started to move out. Meera too followed him without saying anything with a shy smile.

After they were out Arjun himself locked the door with a lock. Meera frown at him actions because no room in the villa was locked like this not even when no one is at home. But didn't said anything.

Arjun took a sigh in relief and then moved away, when he was in front of her room he left her hand unwillingly. Meera too missed his warmthnes, and then looked down.

"Good night " he said smiling.

Looking up Meera to wished him and then entered in her room.

They both went to there bed, Arjun signed when he realised he was already missing her.

You will be death of me wife...

Saying this with a dreamy smile he closed his eyes. As he closed the scene of last night started to play, they way she hugged her,she way hide her face in his chest.

Her soft body pressed to his, her pouty lips. Her silky hairs but the most mesmerising her smile.

That smile which Arjun was caving. Her that smile that made his day.

Can a mere smile do that?

Yes! In his case yes it can. Her smile from heart which made her eyes shine is the most beautiful thing he ever see. Most precious thing he ever had.

My precious...

In just 24 hours many things changed. Yesterday when he woke up he never thought that the the day will end like this or this day will this beautiful. Sometime things occurr suddenly but not for bad always but for good things too.

Tommorow when he woke up he never imagined that in just 24 hours he will be having hope in his hopeless marriage. He never thought things will change this much drastically.

Was in bad?

No! It's too good to say.
Thinking about all this and waiting for thr next day Arjun slept. But someone on the other room wasn't.

There was a continuously blush on her cheeks and a shy smile. Thinking about today she never thought, spending a day with him will be this easy. Atleast east for what she prepared herself.

She think about his words.

"You are my peace "

"I love you"

"You are beautiful "

Was he being honest??

Don't know but somewhere in her heart she know he was. The emotions, the sincerity in his eyes was looking fake.

Ughh! Stop.

She didn't want to think like this, she didn't want to waste this beautiful day by thinking like this.

Let's go with the flow

She thoughts and smiled. In the span of 24 hours things changed and changed for....good.

True, there all were new for her, smiling for him, talking with him, laughing with him was a little new and hard but not much that she can't do. And now after spending this day with him she was willing to spend more.

With a smile and blush, She closed her eyes tightly and begged the mother of sleep to come.

The next morning rose for the couple with new hope, Happiness , and excitement. Today was Sunday, so Meera isn't going hospital. After taking a shower she decided to wear a cotton saree as it was a sunny day.

After being satisfied with her look she headed down. When she was on the stairs she looked back to his room only see it's close.

May be he is still sleeping.

Afterall its Sunday.

She nodded at her own conclusion and looked away. She went to kitchen and started her work.

Don't know why but today she wanted to make good and healthy breakfast. They didn't have much time on other day to cook different variety and enjoy. But today they have. She wanted to take advantage of that.

With smile she started to cook. Today she cooked aalo paratha with curd. And almond halwa In sweet dish.

She was almost Done with all then when she heard some movement and feel someone's gaze on her.She looked up only to meet her husband who was in his casual, hair still wet showering he just has shower and was looking at her intensely making her gulp.

"Good morning " Meera said smiling shyly when she saw her husband looking at her intensely with mouth slightly open.

Arjun was late today, crushing himself he come down, if it was any other holiday back then he wouldn't have minded because it was just a holiday but this time he minded it because he wanted to spend time with his wife as much as he can. And here he was late.

Taking a quick shower he headed down but did a quick check in her room to see whether she is there or not. Again the calming sandalwood smell hit him making him calm and smile..

As he went downstairs he expected Meera to be in kitchen and he wasn't wrong. Indeed she was there. Looking divine in saree.

The dark colour complemented her fair skin in a very good way that she was looking like fairy to him.
Her hairs in a messy bun few stand falling on her face, face free from makeup, just a pinch of vermilion on her parted hairs and a bindi on her forehead. The sight made him proud unknowingly.
Her slender neck was bare, other then her Mangalsutra (nuptial chain) there wasn't anything. Her neck was looking soft, so soft that it was tempting him to run his stubbled cheeks on it along with his lips.
Her blouse was sleeveless giving him a smooth look of her milky arms which only had few glass bangles in them. His eyes travel down to her chest which was moving up and down and was covers with the saree. Moving more down he looked at her waist which was in show off. Because she wore saree her slim waist look more beautiful making him gulp.
It was bare and smooth.

How much he wants to run his hand on them...

He can't look down because of he counter between them. He again looked up only his eyes to be hooked on her lips.

He suddenly felt a sudden and strong urge to touch them. But the urge and his racing nerves suddenly became clam when he saw her lips forming a shy smile.

Cute

He shoot his head to get rid of thoese thoughts and greet her back. But his voice comes out hoarse and more huskily

"Good morning " Meera blushed red at his voice. It made her gulp and made the butterfly to dance in her stomach.

"S-Sit, breakfast i-is ready" she said stammering while pointing towards the table.

Strange!! she didn't felt uncomfortable like she use to feel. There was some sort of feeling other then shyness that didn't made her look at him but the fear and uncomfortabness wasn't there.

She moved outside the kitchen with him following her quietly.

They settled down on there respective seats. Arjun lifted the lid of the dishes with a smile.

Meera too was very excited because this wasn't the first time she cooked for him but it was the first time she wasn't cooking for him because she has to. She cooked today Because she wants too.

She wanted her husband to eat her made food. She wanted her husband to appreciate her. She don't know what she wanted but it was for sure that as her husband was trying to make there relationships work and her happy, she too wanted her husband to know she will give her best to there relationships and she want him happy .

Arjun smile get broader when he saw paratha. one of his favourite. Meera's heart swell seeing his smile.

But the smile faded a little as soon as he lifted the other lid and the aroma of food hit his nostril.

Almond's halwa.

Meera was expecting a more bigger smile but her own smile fade when she saw his smile fading.

"W-What happen?" Meera asked in a low voice looking at him with hurt in her eyes. Her insecurities hit her hard to think the negative.

He didn't like it.

"Umm Actually I am allergic to Almonds " he said and guilt eat him alive seeing hurt and sadness in her eyes. After few seconds Meera looked away from him because at that time she realised she know nothing about her husband.

It's been almost 5 month of other marriage and she know nothing! Absolutely nothing about her husband's. What type of a wife she is who didn't even know that her husband is allergic to some things!

She realised even they lived in the same house, under same roof still they were stranger to each other.

She realised even she thought to give a chance to her marriage but she didn't give her 100% to this marriage.
She looked at him again who was looking at her with worry in his eyes.

"I-I didn't kn-knew that" she said in a low voice with tear filled eyes.
Arjun saw the shine in her eyes when he was lifting the lid. He saw that she was very excited for his reaction.

He was happy, so much happy that she tried to do something but here his allergies ruined this. But he can't let her sad. It wasn't her fault, thet were partially strangers before. He don't want her to be sad and feel low because of this.

"Its ok. I actually like paratha so much. I'll have it" he said excitedly with a smile encouraging her but seeing him smiling she felt terribly bad.

A low sob left her mouth Arjun's eyes shot towards her who was not ready to run away. Because he can say or do anything he saw her getting up and running to her room.

"Meera. Meera listen " he shouted but all went to drain. Without thinking much he followed her. Meera was about to close her room's door when he put his one leg inside to stop her from closing the door.

Meera looked up at him with teary eyes,and left thr door and went to sit on her bed.

Arjun moved inside seeing her. He saw how much sad she was. He wanted to console her. Tell her that it ok. It's not her fault.

He moved toward her, kneeling in front of her he hold her soft hand in his rough one . Wiping her tears away with the other have he made her look at her.

"Sweetheart it wa-" he started to say but was cutt off by Meera.

"I am sorry " Meera said or like whispered. Arjun frown at her statement but because he can say anything she said.

"I am sorry. I am not a good wife, as you wanted. Not a wife you deserve. I am bad! To bad that I don't know a single thing about my husband even after almost 5 months of our marriage Where you know everything about me. I don't know the basic things about you. I-I told you that I'll give my hundred percent to this marriage, that I want a another chance but now I think I don't deserve one. Because I-I don't think i can make you happy. It's not like I don't want to! I want to but I think I can't!! I am not good enough for you I am-" Meera barbering come to end when Arjun put a finger on her lips making her shut up.

"Shhhhh. Don't you dare to utter a single word more Meera otherwise you'll regret your actions" Arjun hissed dangerously.

He had enough of her nonsense. How can she say that!! How can she talk like this about his wife in front of him. Moving closer to her he made her eyes go wide because this was the first time he was coming this closer to her.

He stooped when he was just a inch or half away from her face. He glance at her with red angry eyes only to get softened seeing her tear filled eyes.

He understand, she was feeling bad bad about the recent incident but it wasn't the way to solve the matter. She just can't declare herself a bad wife. Because she wasn't! Not a bit.

Holding her chin in hand he made her look into his eyes who was looking down. Once having a eye contact Meera felt something inside her.

Fear, Surprise, guilt??

"Who are you to decide that you aren't good for me?? Huhh?? " he asked her in whisper with a little harsh voice. Which make her shiver a little.

"Who are you to decide that you make me happy or not??" He again said gripping her chin little tightly. Not enough to hurt her but enough to know who is in control. Meera gulp hearings his harsh voice.

Sure, she had seen him angry but this.....th-this was something else. Something dominating, something intimidating something that send shiver to her. Give her goosebumps. And did a different thing to her too.

She tried to look away from him because his gaze was doing something to her but she only tried! Can't do.

"Look at me" Arjun commanded to her. And she submitted to his commands but the feeling of being looser and failed in her own marriage bring back the tears.

As Meera looked up,Arjuna eyes meet with the her teary one and all the anger he has, all the frustrations flew away. The only thing that was left was love, care for her.

With soft eyes Arjun loosen his grip on her chin and then stood up with Meera's hand in his. He lead her to sofa placed in her room. Sitting on it and pulling her in his arms making her sit on his lap surprising her.

But to her and his surprise Meera didn't push him away instead she lean on his chest after being comfortable.

"Meera who told you., you aren't a good wife?? That you aren't good enough for me?? That you didn't make me happy??"Arjun said and his voice softer then ever.

Meera didn't said anything just hide her face more in his chest. She didn't have any answers for his question. No one but her insecure screamed at her these all. His cologne somehow managed to clam her. His warn body somehow managed to push away the coldness of her heat.

"Meera..... you can't even imagine how much I am happy with you. Your single smile makes my day. And about because good wife. I think you are the best. " He said and Meera looked up to him.

"Don't lie" like a child she said.

"I am not! You are the best. For me being a good wife didn't mean to do my chores, obey my every order, fear me. I don't want a maid or something. In my sense good wife means someone who care for me. Someone who trust me. Someone who share things with me. Someone with whom I can trust myself. Someone who will support me even the world oppose me.Someone with whom I can talk. Someone who will mine only mine. Someone whom I'll love beyond moon, someone who will love me too. Someone with whom I can picture my future. Someone with whom I will start my own family and that's you." Arjun said all this looking at her eyes.

His confession brought tears to her eyes. She can't believe she have him as her husband.

"And about being good enough...." he said and chuckled
"You are more then I deserve " saying this he hugged her, Meera to hugged him flowing her happy tears. They stayed like this for few minutes without saying anything. But the silence was too peaceful. Arjun was feeling content, peace and happy. Meera too was feeling a unknowns happiness inside her.

After few minutes she broke the silence.

"Sorry. I ruined your morning, I-I...m-My insecurities were kicking me hard. And all the negative thoughts occupied my mind. Sorry" the guilt was very much visible.

Arjun smiled at her,

"No, no need to say sorry. Infact I am happy that you shared whatever was in your mind. Being honest I felt little bad when you said all rubbish about yourself but then I am happy too that you trusted me enough to share your insecurity. And I want you to do the same. Just talk to me ok. And Meeraon a serious note don't make conclusion on your assumption ever. Talk to me and we will sort the matters together. I repeat just talk to me never jump on conclusion" He said to her softly but at last he ended with a serious tone.

"And yeah, knowing about each other. Then lets know each other now, Forgot these 5 months,because we were partially strangers to ea h other but now let's start fresh. Ok." He said remembering her words.

Correct she didn't know anything about him but can she be blamed ??

No,!!

It was her past to be blamed. The innocent soul was suffering itself because of it.

"Now come let's go.. My paratha are getting cold" Arjun said and lifted Meera in her arms in bridal way making her sequel.

"Put me down... please " Meera said shyly seqeling with red cheeks.

"No" saying this with a smile he turned his face away like a child. Making her laugh. She totally forgot there few minutes before conversation.

They come down still Meera in Arjun's arms, she was hiding her face in his chest. She was feeling so shy but happy too.

He made her sit on her chair and then sit on his own. With a smile they started to eat. Talking a little in between with laughter and blush. They were too much busy in talking that they didn't noticed that the breakfast was long gone cold it was almost afternoon.

After they were done Meera started to pick the dirty dishes, but Arjun stooped her from picking her his plate.

"I'll do it." He said with a smile while getting up. Meera tried to protest but all went waste. She followed him to kitchen. She saw him he was going to wash his plate. Meera frowning went to him.

"You don't need to do it. I'll do it." Meera said snatching the plate. But Arjun protested by holding the plate tightly. She again tried but he again hold it tightly

"Give it to me and go out!" Meera got irritated and then ordered him in loud voice with ome hand on his arms and other pointing towards the door.

Arjun went still hearing her loud voice, and the bossy poster and ordering tone didn't go unnoticed by him.

He turned towards her with raised eyebrows after placing the plate in the sink. It wasn't a big deal, that who will wash the dishes it was just he was enjoying teasing her seeing her annoyed.

"Are we now ordering Mrs. Rajvanshi" he said in a teasing tone with a raised eyebrows.

Meera gulp and blushed hearings him calling her Mrs.Ranvanshi. It was very first time she ordered something to him,and the fact that he didn't minded it give her a unknown confidence.

"Yes Mr. Rajwanshi. Now go" Meera said still blushing and feeling nervous with such a friendly talk.

"Now who I am to disobey Mrs. Rajvanshi's order" he said with a fake signing making both of then laugh.

Arjun went out informing her that he will be in the theater room waiting for her as they decided to watch a movie together.

As Arjun was out, Meera kept laughing and then suddenly a thought come to her mind.

When was the last time she laugh like this after there marriage.

Meera suddenly felt gloomy but then shoot her head and got rid of those thoughts. But a small smiled played on her lips as she remember there emotions talk..

She never though Arjun as a humble, caring, loving, and most important supportive and understanding. She always thought of him as arrogant, self centered, and a dominant personality with anger issues.

Sure he is dominant, he has anger but it was different. His this qualities were also in her good list. Because he never did anything to her that hurt her in his anger or for satisfying his ego.

He is best.

"Thinking about me?" Someone so sensually whisper near her ear making her breath hitched. His hot breath fanned on her bare neck and his warm body slightly touching her from back. Even his chest was under layer of cloths but still she can feel its hardness.

A gasp left her mouth due to his sudden closeness. Her body become warm and cheeks gone red. She didn't need to be informed who was it. She can detect his smell. It always calm her.

"N-No" she lied with beating heart and heavy breath. She didn't want her husband to catch her red handed thinking about him.

"Don't lie sweetheart" he again whisper, this time Meera clutched the counter in the kitchen tightly because her knees were giving up the responsibility to make her stand.

His lips slightly brushed on her earlobes making her feel more hot. As his breath was fanning on her neck a shiver run to her body which was pleasurable?

Her cheeks turn more red thinking like this,she tried to open her mouth to say something but nothing come out.

"Umm I-I w-" she tried to say but because of the sensation running to her body because of his closeness and his breath wasn't letting her.

But for the first time in her life she didn't felt disgusted or fear of anyone's closeness instead she was enjoying but theses all were new to her so the nervous feeling wasn't going.

She heard a chuckled from him and his chuckled made butterfly run in her tummy.

"I am waiting for you. Come fast" whispering this he went away.

This was enough for her. Enough for today atleast.

After few minutes a shy and nervous Meera entered the theatre room fighting with the end of her saree looking down. She was holding a bowl of popcorn as they were needed and was biting her tempting lips.

"Come" Arjun stood up an and forwarded his hand to her. He knows today thing were gone little far and she need space and willing to give her. But still he needed her close to him.

He was feeling so happy that she didn't push him or felt fear for him. It was a good start.

As Meera looked at him walking to her, her heart beat rose up and she almost run away. He forwarded her his hand and she hold shyly. As her rough big plam coverd her soft and small plam she feel hot.

"Do you like it?" Arjun asked trying not to make thing awkward, showing her thr theatre room.

It was cozy yet modern designed. She instantly liked it. She never got a chance to visit this room earlier.

She was doing many things, she didn't earlier.

They both got seated on the sofa, to his little disappointment she sat Little far but he didn't mind. He knew she need space.

But he really wanted her in his arms cuddling closely..

He huffed at his thought and then played a normal movie. During the movie he was watching her, seeing her reaction time to time. during one scene, her facs lit up like bulb making him smile.

As the movie proceed more, he started to think something and soon he was in his deep thinking. He didn't noticed when the movie come to end.

Meera got up smiling hard, she was feeling fresh after so long. She was ready to go when Arjun noticed her and hurriedly grabbed her wrist.

Meera stooped and bit her lips thinking why he stooped her.

"Meera " he called her. His voice come out heavy and husky.

She turned to him but still looking down. Arjun too stood up and cupped her cheeks lovely making her heart go wild and face red.

"I know it's not the right way to ask nor the right time but still I am asking you because I really want to. And please don't say yes because you don't want to hurt me or anything. Just say yes if you really want" he said looked at her, nodding in the last making her confuse.

"What is-"
