2022-01-30 18:11:24Keerthi blinked her eyes open when she felt too warm. She opened her eyes to find herself in her husband's embrace. They were cuddling,his one arm below Keerthi's neck, cushioning it and the other on her waist, with Keerthi's hand on Vikram's chest,their legs tangled under the sheet.
Keerthi blushed. It was the first time she had been intimate with her husband. Though it felt new and a tad bit uncomfortable,she felt brilliant,on the whole,a warm feeling enveloping her after he respected her choice of not going further.
She sighed,though her husband's embrace felt good,she felt hot. She raised her hand from under the blanket cocooning them, relishing when cold wind blew against her hand. Unknowingly,she felt her hand moving to her husband's hair, brushing it away from his forehead.

Keerthi cursed herself in her head. Multiple times. She was so scared. What if Vikram was mad at her for not letting him kiss her? She was terrified now. She was just having fun, pulling her husband's leg. She didn't mind being kissed by her husband. But she wanted to tease him since he too had been teasing her. But. What if he was mad at her now? The thought terrified Keerthi, unwanted tears making appearance. She had even asked Mala,their maid to leave,so she could herself clean the kitchen,to buy time. The past few days

Vikram didn't go to bed the whole night. Keerthi saw her husband sleeping on the couch when she woke up to an empty bed. She frowned at his behaviour. They had argued multiple times,but Vikram never resorted to such measures, Keerthi thought sadly. She ran a hand through his hair, letting him sleep,as she made way to the washroom. Vikram woke up to the bath running,wincing when he tried to move his neck. He got up,massaging his neck,as he sat on the couch, flinging his legs over the table in front of the couch. He stood up when he heard the washroom door open. He saw his wife exiting when he was near. They look at each other,each having so much to say but choosing not to.

"Keerthi",Vikram cooed gently, sitting next to his wife. When she doesn't respond, Vikram sighs, pulling the covers down,to come face to face with his wife's pink face,tears running down her cheeks. "What?",Keerthi sniffed,"You don't want to talk right. Be that way." Keerthi mewled in protest when her husband pulled her up into a sitting position. "I was mad at you because you thought I would do something to you if I was angry, not because we didn't kiss", Vikram started out softly. "I was only playing a prank on you,to see what you would do if I was angry. But clearly,you understood differently", Vikram explained,his tone turning bitter at the end.

Vikram woke up to his wife's soft snores,his arm under his wife's neck, which was probably sore now,and the other loosely draped around her waist,on her skin, where her shirt had ridden up,while his wife's hand rested on his chest,his legs locking hers' in between his. Vikram brushed a disturbing strand away, blocking his view,his wife's face.She looked too tempting to leave alone. He looked at the time. Six fifteen. Too early to wake up,even on a week day. He contemplated between letting her sleep and kissing her. At the end,he decided with kissing her softly. He pecked her lips softly,a feather light touch.

Keerthi woke up to a shrill noise. She kept a hand on her heart,it was her mobile ringing. Vikram,it read. "Hello",she answered. "Were you asleep?", Vikram asked,settling on his bed,as he looked at the time. Eleven forty. "No. It's fine", Keerthi said. "What are you doing?",Vikram asked,making himself comfortable as he lay in bed,crossing his legs. "Nothing. Just", Keerthi mumbled. She didn't know why she was so reluctant to talk to him. She was upset with her h

Arvind Verma wanted to wait for his daughter to leave before he dealt with his wife. She had come home after quite some time. He wanted it to be pleasant for her, merely controlling the urge to beat the truth out of his wife. He found it better to see his wife hurt rather than his daughter. He loved his daughter dearly,who seemed distressed to him at the moment. If she wasn't willing to let him help her directly,he would do so indirectly. Keerthi wondered how a person could be so different to two people. He was a great father, picking that something was wrong after conversing for just under a minute with her,but a horrible husband,as she thought of all times he had hurt her mother. She made a quick call to her mother in law,letting Sakshi know of her plans.

Keerthi burst out crying,warm tears cascading her face as she found comfort in the solace of her father's warm embrace, wrapping her arms around her father's waist,the reality of the past few days and her marriage sinking in. Keerthi wasn't an extrovert. She had a lukewarm relationship with her husband,barely making conversation with anyone in the house apart from him. She was okay with him,she could get used to it. But she justcouldn'tbe herself at least half the time. It wassonew and foreign.She felt so out of place every time she sat for a meal with the Rathores. She felt like an outsider, which was true. She was. She only maintained a cordial relationship with them,only talking when necessary. It was only with her husband that Keerthi wa

Vikram dropped on the couch ,exhausted. His decision to stay back in Mumbai for a day to look over the branch details was worth it. It was doing terribly. Vikram's immediate attention was necessary for damage control. He scratched his chest, thinking of a way to pick it up. He put his thoughts aside when he glanced at his watch. He had less than two hours for his flight. He quickly packed , looking around the room if he had left anything, shutting the door behind him. ** Keerthi was eagerly waiting for her husband's arrival.

Vikram's POV(In Mumbai)I return home after an exhausting day to see my wife sound asleep on the couch. I shake my head, rolling my eyes. I had mentioned I would be late and specifically asked her to go to bed.The last time she fell asleep on the couch,she had a strained neck for three days,and she has a bad cold.I swallow back my irritation,taking gentle steps to check on my children before I freshened up.My lips tilt up automatically, relaxation coursing through my veins as I see my flesh sleeping peacefully. The father in me couldn't resist as I tip-toed into their room, placing a kiss on my seven year and four year olds' foreheads."Go to sleep Rahil",I murmured when I saw him move in his sleep, patting his chest. He was always a light sleeper.I glance at my daughter, smiling when I see her lower lip jutted out,her hands over her head as she slept beautifully. Aarna hates being touched in her sleep.I gently shut the door,making way to my room."When did you come home?",I hea

Vikram's POVIt was one of those days. When everything was great, grateful for all the good things in life. Living life looked simple,easy. I didn't realise I was lost in my thoughts, jumping from one to another when the flow was interrupted.I sweep a glance towards my wife,our coffee mugs in her hands."Why are you smiling?" ,She asks, handing me my mug.I shrug, pulling her gently into my lap,taking care the coffee didn't spill. I either had to clean it or put up with an earful I could do without.She only smiled shyly, closing her eyes when the side of her thigh grazed my penis.I gave her an amused smile, shaking my head. I couldn't deny,I liked it. A lot.I clear my throat,my hand inching into her top,as I place it there, ignoring her look as I sip on my coffee."It's 11 in the morning", Keerthi teased."So?",My hand travels higher, unclasping her bra."At least let me finish my coffee",my wife laughs,shaking her head.I let out a laugh too, squeezing her hip.She gives me a sof

"You kick me one more time,and I'm not going to feed you",Keerthi snapped at the six month old on her lap.The grinning crying/screaming copy of Vikram only let out gurgles of laughter, having his feed in the meantime, kicking his mother's tummy.Keerthi winced when she felt a sharp jab on her lower abdomen,tears pricking her eyes at the pain. She cupped her tummy,placing Rahil on the bed next to her. Even though she got her stitches removed a few months back,it still hurt when her son kicked too hard.It took her three minutes for the pain to become a dull throb. She glared at the about-to-wail child."You scream one more time, that's it. I'm giving you to your grandparents.""Stop being dramatic Keerthi", Keerthi heard her husband,as he entered their room, locking the door shut."You are twenty minutes late.""Wow. You learnt the art of checking time.""No need for that much sarcasm", Keerthi mumbled, placing Rahil in his crib, murmuring,"Please don't cry",in his ear.Keerthi felt he

Two anniversaries later...Keerthi stared at the plastic item in her hand, clutching it against her chest,not bothering that it was dirty. Tears blurred her vision,as she held the edge of the sink.She had mixed feelings. Although she was thrilled,she felt nervous.What would Vikram say if she told him she was pregnant?She didn't think she had the guts to look him in the eye and tell him that she was pregnant. The thought made her too nervous. Although she was positive Vikram might be happy,she couldn't rule out the possibility of him not taking it well.She tried to calm her racing heart,the nervousness not allowing her to be happy about the most precious moment in her life. She was going to be a mother.So why couldn't she be happy?She deep down knew it was because she wanted to share the news with her better half.Maybe she could just leave the stick on the sink,and Vikram would accidentally see it and question her himself?She shut her eyes,tempted at the possibility, jumping in

Keerthi glared at her husband."Help me stock up the fridge if you want any food.""Are you hungry?""Why?"Vikram shrugged,helping his wife as she set their fridge."Vikram", Keerthi scolded when her husband hugged her from behind after they were done."Sweetheart?Stop shouting",he kissed his wife's neck, pulling the thin strap of her shoulder down."You are not even helping me. And you are disturbing me on top of that."Vikram shook his head,"Nobody asked you to do everything in a single day. Hire someone or something.""For what? Arranging our clothes and inner wear?", Keerthi barked.Vikram walked to his wife, picking her in his arms, ignoring her shrieks of protest as he shut the door."Vikram.""Shut up Keerthi. I've ordered a pizza. We'll have our dinner,and then continue arranging things. You are such a pain when you are hungry.""I am a pain to you all the time.""Good God woman", Vikram sighed,folding his wife in his lap,"I love you,darling.""I love you too. When is the pizz

So want to spend some time", Keerthi shrugged,hoping her husband understood."Cool", Vikram shrugged,"I'll drop you in that case."Keerthi stared at her husband. He agreed so easily? Wow."Why are you looking at me like that?""Just", Keerthi shrugged,"You are so different",she hugged her husband."Okay? Is something wrong?"Keerthi shook her head,"Didn't expect you to agree so easily.""Why should I agree even? You are going to your parents' pla

"No. Go away", Keerthi grumbled when someone shook her."Ouch",she glared at her husband when he bit her lip."I want to sleep Vikram",she turned to the other side.Keerthi screeched in frustration when he kept poking her,"What?""Take your medicines. You can sleep after that.""I literally just closed me eyes", Keerthi grumbled, sitting up, blinking her eyes as she came face to face with her husband in their bedroom.Vikram laughed,"It's after two in the noon.""What?", Keerthi shrieked,"Half of my birthday is gone."Vikram laughed,"Get up.

Maybe it'll be better in the morning.""Yeah.Ouch", Keerthi cried when she put some pressure on her hips.Vikram swallowed,"I think we should go to the hospital."Keerthi's side throbbed in pain,tears welling her eyes.
