*Anusha Pov*
“Sha!” I heard the whisper, but I groaned, turning around and covering my ears to not get much disturbed.
“It’s already late, Sha. I need to leave for the office and we need to have breakfast.” The voice continued.
“Let me sleep!” I said in an irritated tone.
“They must be sitting at the table waiting for us.” The voice commented.
“Then let them wait or if they feel hungry, let them eat whoever they are but just let me sleep whoever you are.” Saying that I drifted off into sleep.
I woke up smiling, feeling completely fresh, and glanced at the clock only to feel my heart skip beating and my eyes widened.
“No, no, no!” I whispered scrambling from the bed and rushed to the washroom hoping he is just showering inside and the clock is wrong.
“Satvik! My sweet husband, just stay here.” I whispered knoc
*Anusha Pov*“Wake up!” I mumbled the moment I felt the vegetables and stove before my eyes and immediately opened them.I groaned, sitting up, and glanced at Satvik to see him sleeping. I smiled and got up from the bed and started getting ready.“Satvik! Please get up.” I whispered, leaning over him, and started tapping his shoulder.“Whoever you are don’t disturb me.” He mumbled making me frown.“How is it to be at the receiving end?” he asked, opening one eye and I immediately hit his shoulder.“I have so much to do and I need your help. So, get ready and take me out.” I said, moving away to take out his clothes while he walked into the washroom shaking his head.“Where do you want to go?” he asked after getting dressed and walked out of the dressing room.“I need to buy some vegetables.”
*Anusha Pov*“This one?” I asked showing him another suit but he shook his head making me groan.“I shouldn’t have asked your opinion at all.” I mumbled, looking at all my suits which he didn’t accept.“I like you more in a Saree.” His words reached me and I immediately turned to stare at him.“I told you that I am not that comfortable in them as I never wore them before. And if I wear them to work, then I will be concentrating on my Saree than the work that I have to do. I even stopped wearing at home also but you didn’t say anything.” I mumbled frowning.“I said that I like you, but I didn’t say you have to. Now, just choose a color in which you feel comfortable.” He said walking near to me and I smiled shaking my head.“Get ready! I will drop you.” He added, but I frowned at his words.“Satvik! I need
*Satvik Pov*I smiled, feeling the peace both inside and outside, but didn’t stop caressing her back while she laid her head over my chest not moving, but is not asleep also with the way of her breathing that she is doing.When I moved to press a kiss to her forehead, she suddenly sat up and I just miss from getting my chin hurt.Holding the sheet securely she looked around before finding my shirt and wore it without saying anything and just got down from the bed making me frown.“What happened? Where are you going?” I asked her and she turned around with an awkward smile.“I need to go to the washroom immediately. I had to go for the past few minutes, but I was feeling lazy and didn’t want to move away from you, but now I have to.” Saying that she rushed leaving me to laughter.Shaking my head, I settled back and closed my eyes, but then suddenly I remembered the events that
*Anusha Pov*“I am missing you.” I whispered, hugging him from behind stopping him from arranging the tie.“I too feel the same, Sha.” He whispered, turning around to hold me.By tomorrow it will be two weeks since he announced his decision about starting the business to the family. Since then he had to work at his father’s company until evening and then leave for the construction site where a building is being remodeled for his company.“By the way, tomorrow evening you need to reach the construction site.” He informed me when I released him.“Why?” I asked him frowning.“I will tell you tomorrow. Now, will you smile so that I can go?” he asked, caressing my cheek and I smiled as he wished.“That smile I enough to give me the strength to face all these challenges, Sha.” He mumbled pressing his lips to my forehead.
*Anusha Pov*“Again?” I asked, smiling at him looking at the flowers.“Well, I was an ass last time.” He replied, shrugging and I shook my head, taking the flowers like I was from the past week.“Satvik! You had a misunderstanding which you communicated soon and we both settled it. I think that is more important than this.” I mumbled to which he frowned.“But I love them!” saying that I stood up from my chair and walked around the desk to hug him.“By the way, I got a few ideas for our first client.” Saying that he explained a few while I noted them.“Okay! I will show him these and let’s hope he will accept one of it.” I said smiling excitedly about this.“I know that you will make him accept any one of it.” He said, winking, and left the cabin while I smiled at his back.In the evening I returned to the com
*Satvik Pov*“Satvik! I need to speak with you.” Mom’s voice broke the silence and I gave her a nod while Anusha glanced at me and then at Mom.Mom and I walked to the garden in silence and she just stared at the trees not saying a single word while I was just wishing she will let me talk about it clearly.“Mom! The flat is not what you are thinking…” I started, but she cut me off by looking at me.“I always thought that if I need anyone’s help to keep this family together, then all I need to do is ask you.” She started and I shook my head not wishing for her to go think like that.“When you were a kid, you always liked it when we all are chatting together. Do you know the tradition of talking in the evening every day with all of us together was because of you?” she asked and I nodded remembering how I wanted us to have that talk every day.&ldq
*Anusha Pov*“I don’t have any energy to travel, Satvik.” I said for the tenth time while he continued to sort out the files before we can leave.“You can sleep in the car.” he mumbled, not giving much thought.“No! I have to behave like a proper daughter-in-law, right? Otherwise, there would be something else that will hurt your Mom and you will get upset with me.” I mumbled back and he immediately straightened.“I never got upset with you.” He pointed out.“Yeah? You see everything I do with black shade whenever you feel upset about your Mom’s indifference.” I pointed back.“Yes! I have made mistakes, but I don’t know what else to do. I have only you, Sha. I can’t go near our neighbors and inform them I am sad, right?” he asked frowning.“I will be there with you through as many downs as there are. But
*Anusha Pov*It’s been twenty-four hours since I heard those words from him. It’s been twenty-four hours since the whole family is worried for Aunty.“Satvik! Twenty-four hours finished and I think the police will take the complaint now.” I mumbled when he slumped on the chair after calling everyone we know.“I already called them.” Uncle said, walking near Satvik with a normal face, but I can see the tension covering his features.“Where were you going to tell us about this man, Satvik?” he asked when Satvik stayed silent.“Uncle! We didn’t think he will…” he stopped showing me his hand and just stared at Satvik.“Do you even know what danger your Mom is in? And she has nothing to do with him or anything else.” He continued and before I can say anything to stop him he shook his head with a frown at me.
