Because you’re stressing like it is,” Arun said to which she chuckled “Oh you don't wanna talk about my wedding “ she said giggling to which Arun nodded nothing Thinking back to that fateful day when his entire life changed and how he wanted to kill everyone who was involved in that so-called wedding but then now here he is in front of someone he’ll kill to make her happy.Anjali had for a minute seemed to forget to blink as she saw her husband ditch his usual casual dress and dress up

The show had started, Anjali and Arun were in Goa and finally, The shooting had begun and it was the host introduced the Judges and the other contestants. It was simple! Five teams, 4 rounds, 3 weeks, 2 in a team and 1 winner. That was it As simple had it sounded, Only Anjali and Arun knew how fast their heart were beating. It wasn’t just the money they’d get if they won, for Arun it was the recognition he would get through the show and for Anjali as of now she had an event, a bachelor’s party to be held in Goa the next day so she had accompanied him even if not she would have simply to be with her husband. Now that the set for the shooting for the show was arranged beside the beach, Arun guessed the cuisine for today might be seafood and god did not let him go wrong it was indeed the c
Author’s pov “No but what am I even supposed to do with this extra meter of cloth?” Asked Anjali holding the meter of cloth in her hand “That’s the blouse piece, Anju! But then, since you're using a readymade wala one, this won’t be needed,” Arun said as he continued to sit on his knees and neatly pull out her pleats. It was finally the day when Manish and Sandhya were getting engaged, Luckily for Anjali Ramesh and Rani are taking care of the venue and dealing with the clients, while Anjali got ready in a sky blue saree which she had got for her wedding from her In-laws. Arun had been looking a little nervous about it but watching his wife roam around their home getting ready eagerly made him think it was all worth it. It was their first time attending a function after their wedding couple and the excitement in Anjali’s face was not something that could be hidden. Anjali focused on doing her hair and looking perfect while now Arun sat on their mattress watching her wear her
Authorr 's Pov The walk back to their home was in complete silence. Anjali had no idea what his father told him but she understood it was something to do with her selling her jewellery.“Anjali” He called his voice serious and loud “Huh?” Anjali asked, his change in tone did something to her. She was so used to his soft tone now.“I am sorry,” He said and eventually they both stopped walking and stood. And now when Arun uttered these words Anjali’s temper rose a bit “For what Arun?” she asked in the same tone as his, folding her hands across her chest.Arun bowed his head down, not uttering anything which made Anjali’s temper rise even more“Tell me” She demanded “My dad….your jewellery! Anjali, I’ll promise to do anything to return your things” he said, words struggling to get a grip on his tongue.Anjali left a breath out pushed her sling back to his chest and walked away in anger.Arun Ran behind her yelling her name.“Hey please yaar!”He begged as he followed her “Please wha
Author's povNervous was not the word for the feeling Anjali felt at the moment, as she stood ready wearing a yellow salwar suit, trying to look perfect.After all, she was on her way to meet her In-laws, whom she had not met since a month now.Something in Anjali said that today’s day won't end well but she couldn't do anything other than hope for good cause her husband had made up his mind to bring back her bags.“Arun! Why can't you just go and grab the damn bag and come off” Anjali asked for the third timeNot that she did not want to go but she hated the drama that would unfold there, especially since she had already witnessed the father-son fight and to avoid that she was trying to convince her husband who was by now used to the drama “Aye! It's you who told me to fight your fears right? Come let's fight” Arun told to which Anjali pouted “They are your parents, Man,” she said kicking the floor “And you're In-laws sweetheart “ Arun said immediately after she finished to which
AUTHOR's POVThe next day seemed to rise faster than they even imagined, Anjali was the first one to rise but she did not move from the mattress, she rolled and looked at her husband sleeping peacefully.Since they slept on the terrace, the morning ray’s glow seemed more precious as it hit her husband’s face, making his pretty features highlighted.All of sudden Anjali liked the way it sounded, him as her husband just like yesterday how Arun felt. Though she had no idea Arun liked it too.Arun was someone who entered her life all of a sudden, Turning her life completely upside down. His entry was a surprise to her in all ways but interesting in a way it somehow healed her inner child.Anjali had always been that perfect child who caused no trouble to her late parents or her brother even to her teachers, she was the perfect kid who did everything right while Arun whom she saw was the opposite of everything that she was. She liked seeing him doing things that she wouldn't dare to do, so
"Are you sure about it Anjali?" Arun asked for the 10th time in an hour and like always Anjali nodded as yes "It's just for a day Arun, I'll manage it off, don't worry, " she said patting his shoulders while Arun packed his bag Arun nodded but he still looked unsure.A week had passed since Anjali had signed Arun up for the cups and cakes show and lucky enough for Arun, he received a call from the team to visit them tomorrow to discuss things further.Anjali had to stay cause she was needed in her company hence Arun was pushed to attend the team meeting alone.Leaving his beloved bakery and his ahem...wife alone.Anjali walked out of the room and went to their kitchen and packed the croissants Arun had baked in the morning to sell in the bakery.Anjali had started having a liking towards the bakery, it brought her so much joy working there, helping him around while she was away from her work or home.It felt nice handling a business, at least on a smaller scale for now.Soon enough

I messed it up again this is wrong too” Anjali pouted trying to figure out where she had gone wrong "33 "Arun counted "What 33 "Anjali asked "33 times it has come wrong, "Arun said still sleepy “Don’t demotivate me you racoon” Anjali said stretching her hand in front of his face, purposely applying a good amount of the rice flour used for the Kollam on his face Arun was caught off guard and blinked rapidly as the rice flour settled on his face. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, a
