2022-02-21 20:19:19Keerthi glared at the wall in front of her. The clock struck ten thirty. Her husband still wasn't home.
He had left before she even woke up yesterday and came back after she had slept.
She missed him.
She only waited for him tonight because he said he didn't have dinner in the office. She wanted to at least look at his face while he ate. She missed it.
Vikram walked into the house at Eleven fifteen,he pecked his wife in a greeting and made way to his room to freshen up.
Keerthi glared at her husband's back,they hadn't even kissed properly in the last few days,for crying out loud.

Keerthi silently cried in the same place she stood, covering her face in her palms. She was the victim of her husband's anger even when she was innocent,her heart aching as his words played in her mind.Did he think so low of her?Even though Keerthi felt miserable,she found it necessary to clear the misunderstanding.She sat next to her husband's sleeping form,as she held his hand in both of her hers'.Vikram glared at his wife, retracting his hand.The thought that his wife spoke ill about him behind his back was hurting him.He loved her.He didn't

A throbbing headache woke Keerthi up, wincing as she massaged the side of her head. Her eyes felt as though they were stuck to each other,as she turned towards her husband,blinking. 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. She didn't want to face her husband yet,they would most probably get into another tiff,she thought sadly. 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 sniffed when her husband finished talking,the love and respect she felt for him increasing,as she threw her arms around his neck,smiling as she nuzzled him.Her heart thought it would burst out of happiness. Her husband's understanding of the situation filled her with warmth. She half expected them to have another week long fight again.She sighed, exhausted, hiding her face in his neck,she loved him so much.She glanced at him sideways,could she say it now?The words were on the tip of her tongue.Vikram smiled when he felt his wife kiss his neck,hugging him closer. He wrapped his arms around her waist.Keerthi pulled away. Though she was mad at herself for pulling away that time, she was happy with the result,she had shared a huge part of her with her husband.When her husband didn't make a move,she kissed him, wondering if he thought she won't be receptive.She conveyed her answer in her kiss. She wanted him,so much.Vikram smiled against his wife's lips,as she entered his

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. The room looked straight out of a fairy tale. There were scented candles illuminated, giving the room a dull glow and a seductive fragrance. There was a bed in the middle

Keerthi looked beside to find her husband sleeping, snoring softly.She brushed the hair out of his face,to get a clearer view of his face.Covering the sheets around her tightly,she winced as she turned around,looking at her husband,her cheeks tinging red as she remembered their union a few minutes ago.Her breath hitched when her husband wrapped his arm around her naked waist, pulling her flush against him,their bare chests brushing against the other.She held her breath for a moment, exhaling softly when Vikram didn't wake up.She found it difficult to sleep,though she was bone tired. Her muscles felt sore,the activity foreign.Any position to sleep in was uncomfortable,and adding to that,she was stark naked.She wasn't comfortable sleeping naked,she never did,and it felt so cold without any clothes on, and she had company.Though she knew she had to get used to the idea,it felt too foreign. She needed time to get adjusted.She wondered how Vikram was asleep so quickly.Didn't he f

Keerthi smiled to herself as she mixed Vikram's and her coffee. The smile on her lips was ever present since their intimacy last night. She hoped no one asked the reason for it.Vikram smothered his laughter when his wife handed him his coffee mug,her cheeks flushed. His wife seemed to have a permanent blush on her cheeks,after their union.He suppressed a teasing comment. They were in the living room with his family.He chatted away with his brother for a little while,long after his wife went to bed."What the hell are you doing?"Keerthi jumped when she heard her husband."Uh. Wh-"Vikram took long steps, shutting his closet door,as he bridged himself between his wife and wardrobe."Don't touch my stuff",Vikram snapped.He took a deep breath. It was a close call. The negligee he had bought for her was in there. He didn't want his wife to see it,and misunderstand."No. I-""Don't meddle with my things,Keerthi."Keerthi glared at her husband,angry tears blurring her vision,"I am not go

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
The Love In Marriage Epilogue
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

Vikram frowned when he saw his wife in her formals when he came back home."Are you going somewhere?"Keerthi was startled,"Hi",she gave her husband a kiss."Hi.""Yeah. Going to Mom's.""Oh.Want me to drop?""Nah. I'll drive myself.""But-""I'm fine Vikram. My injuries are completely healed.""Alright",Vikram pulled his wife to him,kissing her neck."Return quickly? I've missed you",Vikram cupped his wife's breast.Keerthi pressed her lips thin,"I plan to stay there for a week or so.""Oh. Any particular reason?""We are shifting next week. 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

Amritha Verma was pleasantly surprised when she saw her daughter and son in law at her doorstep. She expected her daughter to be busy, since she hadn't attended to her calls.She smiled when her daughter threw her arms around her."Happy birthday",she kissed her daughter's head.Keerthi's eyes watered unexpectedly. She swallowed the lump in her throat, smiling through tears,"Thanks Ma."Keerthi pulled her husband inside with her,"Hi dad.""Keerthi",Arvind Verma returned his daughter's hug,"What a pleasant surprise",he kissed her head,"Happy birthday.""Thanks dad",she smiled.Arvind Verma shook hands with his son in law, inviting him into their house.Vikram smiled politely,taking a seat.Keerthi squeezed her husband's hand, leaving him with her father as she accompanied her mother into the kitchen.Keerthi winced when she jumped on to the kitchen counter."What happened?"Amritha frowned.Keerthi played innocent,"What happened?"Amritha walked to her daughter,"Do you have to tell me a

"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. You can eat something."Keerthi sat up,relieved that her pain came down a bit,though it still throbbed a bit.She felt sad when she glanced at her mobile,her mother's missed call staring at her.She missed her parents."Yeah",she cleared her throat.Vikram glanced at his wife,giving her a kiss on her mouth,"Happy birthday, Love."Keerthi was surprised at the endearment,her insides warming,"Thank you",she placed a kiss on her husband's lips,wincing

"Does it hurt too much?"Rhetorical question. Keerthi would get scolded either way,she knew it."Um.""Go to sleep. 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. Did she really break something?"It's fine", Keerthi said hesitantly. She wasn't sure anymore. A simple bruise didn't hurt that much,surely."Come on",Vikram picked his wife in his arms.Keerthi smiled when her husband took her hand in his, kissing the back of it and released it,as he shifted the gear."There was really no need",Keerthi rolled her eyes when they were in the hospital premises."Nothing wrong in confirming",Vikram shrugged,parking the car."Sure", Keerthi mumbled under her breath."Why are you flinching repeatedly then?",Vikram quirked a brow,when his wife joined him.Keerthi gave her husband a flat look,"I have fun. That's why.""You can ha
