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.

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 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.

He missed it."Yes."Though his wife annoyed him at times,he loved her all the same.Something shifted in him.

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.
