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

Keerthi packed her clothes,placing her casual wears in the suitcase when she heard her husband."Can you pack mine too?Please."Keerthi merely glanced at her husband. "No."She hated packing,and he went Ninja on her a few days back,when she merely opened his closet."Come on. Why not?""You don't like people meddling with your things", Keerthi suppressed a smile, pulling her husband's leg.Vikram caught onto his wife's reference.He didn't mind her going through his things now. He had packed her gift already."Packing and going through are two different things",he teased,"And you don't classify under 'People' ", Vikram flirted."I wasn't going through your things", Keerthi snapped, rolling her eyes at her husband's attempt to get his work done."Okay", Vikram raised his hands up in surrender, walking towards his wife."Do it", Vikram pushed, hugging his wife from behind,nuzzling her neck,biting it,as he drew circles on her waist.Keerthi turned her head to the side, closing her eyes,"
