Keerthi 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.She tho

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

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. 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 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
