Vikram was surprised to see everyone in the living room, chatting away when he had arrived from work.
He greeted his parents,slapped the back of his brother's head and gave his wife a smile.
"Make me a coffee,yeah?", Vikram said, looking between his wife and mother.
Keerthi smiled,walking into the kitchen as her husband went upstairs to freshen up.
Vikram freshened up,taking his laptop and charger with him as he sat on the couch. He wanted to spend some time with his family.
Though he probably wouldn't contribute to the conversation,he wanted to be in their presence.
Work had kept him busy the past few days.

He looked poised, though he had a frown on his face. She quietly stood up, not making any noise as she got ready quickly and left the room.

Their married life was turning upside down, tears filled Keerthi's eyes when her mind forced her to live through the previous day's fiasco again. She dashed out of the room before she could cry, desperate to take her mind off things,it was too painful,and it was too early in the morning to cry. Vikram blinked his eyes open, looking at the time as he sat up. He inspected the room,only to find it empty. He clenched his jaw, flinging the covers off him as he stood up. Keerthi saw her mother in law when she went downstairs, stopping in her stride. Indirectly,Sa

Vikram paced around his room in impatience.It had been three days since his wife spoke to him.She would only talk to him in front of others,and formally at that,so people didn't doubt something was up with them.But that didn't count.He wanted his relation with his wife to back to as it was.He stopped when his wife came out in her Pajamas ,ready to go to bed.He threw caution out, as he went towards his wife, pulling her into his chest.Keerthi stiffened when she felt her husband's arms around her. She resisted, wanting out.She would start crying if her husband held her like that any longer."I missed you", Vikram mumbled into his wife's neck,"Let me just hold you for a moment."Keerthi felt unknown warmth in her chest at her husband's words.She let him hug her quietly,her own arms going around his back as she snuggled into his chest.She missed him too.Though she was angry with her husband for falsely accusing her,she felt miserable being away from him,the thought irritating h

Keerthi snuggled into her husband's side,his arm around her shoulder,as they spoke about random things.Vikram held his wife's hand in his,drawing random patterns on the back of it as they spoke."What do you think of a honeymoon?",Vikram tossed at her."What?", Keerthi's tone was guarded. She didn't know if her husband was genuine or just testing her.When Vikram turned to look at her, Keerthi shrugged,"I don't know.""Don't you want to go?",Vikram wanted to.Badly."Do you want to?"Vikram shrugged,"Why not?""You have a busy schedule", Keerthi pointed out."It's a Yes or No question Keerthi."Keerthi stared at her husband,"You haven't answered in Yes or No either."Vikram grinned at his wife, enjoying the banter. He missed it."Yes."Though his wife annoyed him at times,he loved her all the same.Something shifted in him. He felt overly affectionate towards her.Keerthi flushed, having not expected that."I am fine with anything",she said shyly.Vikram yanked his wife onto his lap,"

Keerthi was stunned when she climbed out of the car.Vikram seemed to have brought her to a private villa overlooking the lake,the entrance of the house and the lake illuminated with lanterns.The view was breathtaking,away from the city,it's noise and pollution. The sight was serene."Wow", Keerthi breathed,"It looks amazing.""Come on", Vikram grabbed his wife's hand.The inside of the house looked warm and homey,the house situated a little above the ground level. There was a side of the wall with only windows overlooking the lake,the lanterns softly glowing.Keerthi jumped, wrapping an arm around her husband's neck when he lifted her bridal style. She looked at him, blushing at his intense gaze.Vikram only put his wife down when they reached the room.Keerthi was lowered as her feet touched a soft plushed carpet.
