GEET'S POV

I completed the morning aarti and kept the pooja thali below the shelf of the temple.

“Sundar sushil Sanskari Biwi mili hai

muje ” He said, intentionally coughing and leaning as soon as I turned back only to see him standing and joining his palms.

"You are lucky patidevji ” I smiled and took a step to go inside of the kitchen but he stopped pulling me back to him.

"Aapne university java mai modo ni ve riyo hai? ” I asked, moving my eyes in the opposite direction.

(Aren't you getting late for  university ?)

"Sirohi walo ki marwadi kab sikhi aapne? ” He questioned, looking confused about how I learn.

"Ye same line mumma ne Bhabosa ko kahi thi mene bas office ko change karke university kr diya? ” I replied,  tried removing myself but I couldn't .

“Dhruv , students are waiting for you. You should have your breakfast and go  ” I stared at him while his face was disappointed hearing my words.

"Jaa raha hu. Aapka office next week se hai na ” He asked, playing with my hair tucking it behind the ear and again bringing it back to my face.

"Dhruv” I snapped my fingers.

He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead.

"You are my Sukoon, ” He said, while I looked at his smiling face.

We headed towards the dining table to have our breakfast. I sat next to him and removed the lid .

"Why are you sitting so away? ” He raised his eyebrows.

"I am sitting next to you. See” I replied, while my hands showed him how close our chairs are.

He stood and placed his chair touching my chair.

"Are you sure you will be able to take lectures today? ” I joked, hiding my smile and he blushed.

"Mr. Deora blush bhi karte hai ” I teased him.

“Don't make me blush Geetanjali ” He came closer and looked into my eyes.

“That's my duty…. Book magnet, Dhruv, Mr. Deora and patidevji ” I replied, and moved to serve him his breakfast.

"What are you going to do today , staying at home? ” He asked, taking his spoon.

Before I could answer, he stopped me serving myself on a plate.

"Ek plate mai khana khaye. Pyaar badhta hai” the day when I met him for the first time I never knew he had a hidden romantic person .

“Dhruv kya ho jata hai aapko?” I questioned, looking at him surprisingly.

“Pyaar ho jata hai har pal woh bhi rooh wala ”  He winked.

I was speechless. I was done. How can he come up with so many answers no matter what I ask him?

“Don't you get tired of saying this and flirting with me without a break? ” I asked, placing my hands on the table and turning my face to see him.

“You are the secret of my energy ” He answered, keeping his face on his palm while his hand had a support of the table.

Geetanjali, he won't stop unless and until you give a surprising reply. I took a deep breath and looked at him, leaned a little.

“Aur mene flirt karna shuru kr diya then I will be the reason for you being speechless ” I said, slowly and his eyes widened hearing my words.

He didn't say anything for a minute and smiled.

He came closer and leaned to whisper Something into my ear.

“Kariye mai bhi dekhu aapki flirting skills. ”  His voice emphasized on flirting skills.

"Dhruv, have your breakfast and you should go to your university. "I diverted the topic and turned my face .

We started by feeding each other and credit goes to my husband. He just needs a chance to find a moment to show his love.

University

DHRUV'S POV

I was on my way to my lecture which was in Avantika's classroom but my wife's thoughts occupied my mind.  I don't know what she will be doing right now.

I asked her if she finds staying alone boring  she can go Mrs. Agarwal house who are our neighbours.

I heard students' voices clearly from the classroom . They won't remain silent.

As soon as I stepped inside of the classroom, the noisy chaos turned into  a pin drop silence.

“Good morning Sir and congratulations. ” Everyone stood and wished me .

"Good morning everyone and Thank-you so much .Sit down. I hope everyone has submitted your assignment. If not , I am giving you one more day  and tomorrow morning by 9.30am it should be on my table. ” I ordered, while my hands opened and turned the pages of the book.

I took the marker from the table and turned to write the subject and topic name on the board .

I began taking lectures in between and I questioned one by one but I heard giggling.

My eyes searched to know who it was and suddenly I noticed Avanatika head down.

“Avantika, ” I called her, stopping my lectures.

“Yes sir” She raised her head.

“What's there to laugh at? ” I questioned her while she rose from her chair.

“Sir aapki biwi”

“First of all, converse in English. Second, I know we are from one family but still we are in a classroom as a student and professor we have to follow some rules ” I mentioned and I am a different person when it comes to the classroom.

“Sir, I got a message from your wife who is my sister too. I texted her that Dhruv sir is taking class I will call you later ” She replied.

The reason why I didn't ignore because if I do this other students might think about partiality

Just because I am her sister's husband  and Avantika is one of the most mischievous yet bright students of this class.

“Sit down and meet me after the college ends ” I resumed taking lectures , dictated the keywords as well.

GEET'S POV

The househelper left the house after cleaning and I cooked lunch as well. I was getting  bored sitting alone at home. I checked Mrs.. Agarwal but she isn't at home.

I even talked to mumma, saasumaa and Shivu jija but still I find time passing slowly. How am I going to stay alone for one week when he will be at college?

Wait why not go and surprise him at the college. He informed me his lecture would get over by 1.30pm. I glanced at the time on the phone screen and it's 12.35pm.

I planned that I will go by cab to pick him up and return home in his car . He too deserves the king's treatment.

I changed my clothes from the kurti to the saree which he gifted me when we were in our courtship and wore his favourite earrings.

I booked the cab and took my purse, checked whether the fans and lights were off along with the gas connection.

I locked the door and headed towards the main gate of the society .

Today I can find myself being comfortable while walking in a saree. I rechecked the time and it's 1.10pm.

I got inside the cab after checking the details whether they are matching it as mentioned while booking in the app.

It's 30 minutes by walking distance and by driving it takes around 10 minutes or 15 or more depending on the traffic.

Thankfully I don't have to face the traffic today as there was less rush today on the road.

Suddenly a notification popped out on the screen and it was from my sister

“Jija, please Jijosa ko kaho ki aapne mujhe message kiya tha so mai hasi class ke bich”

What message is this talking about? I scrolled up and noticed I sent her a text this morning in between her lectures.

I texted him informing him everything and he replied instantly - okay I won't say anything.

In the meanwhile I reached the university and got out after paying. It's winter so the sunlight helped in adding warmth to the season.

I reached the main gate and informed the security that I am his wife and he permitted to go inside  after signing in the register which keeps record of visitors .

I dialled him to know where he was.

“Hello,”He answered.

“Hi where are you? ” I asked, walking towards the campus.

"Staff room why?Where are you? ”

“Your university campus ” I answered, walking.

“Okay give me five minutes and I will meet you at Block B” He hung up the call and I checked the board which had a map of the campus.

Block B is one right turn away. I started walking and the campus reminded me of my college life. While I was in college, I couldn't find myself patient enough to earn and live a life on my own terms but as soon as I began working I realized that it's much better to be a student where the only stress you have to face is about studies and other college related things.

I reached block B and sat on the chairs in the corridor of the ground floor. I watched students arriving and departing.

“DP is so handsome ” I heard some three to four girls talking standing a little away but they were clearly audible.

Who is DP?  Maybe a student. I ignored them and scrolled through my phone.

“Have you seen DP today? He wore a white shirt along with a navy blue jacket. He is a man straight out of books ” I heard one of them from the group saying this.

“He looks so hot while wearing his glasses,  writes on the board with his veiny hands and his voice.  ”

Are they talking about Dhruv?  Because he wore a navy blue jacket and white shirt as well.

I raised from the chair and walked towards them.

"Excuse me "I interrupted them.

"Yes ma'am. " One of them answered.

"Are you talking about professor Dhruvpratap Singh Deora? ” I questioned, smiling at them.

"Yes. ”

"Don't you know it's a sin to keep your eyes on a married man? ” I glared at them .

“Sorry, who are you? Why are you so bothered? ” One of them questioned and I  tried my best to stay calm but today I am going to burst out in anger. How can they talk about my husband and use the term hot being a student.

“First, the relationship between a teacher and student is considered to be pure. But I know you won't understand this. You can keep a crush on any professor but not on my husband. ” I replied firmly.

“Jaan, kya hua? ” I heard his words while he came down from the stairs with his bag.

"DP ne jaan kaha hai " One of them murmured.

“O hello what's DP? CALL HIM SIR” I ordered.

"What happened Geet jija? ” Avantika came running following him.

"Which department do you belong to?”i questioned them

“Geetanjali, relax. Students hai aur aisa kya keh diya ” He said, standing next to me.

“Students really? They were calling you hot and the way they are describing your hands . ” I said and he smiled.

“Meet me tomorrow in the classroom. Second year students right from the English department? ” He asked them.

They nodded and apologized . They left and Avantika started laughing seeing me while he joined him too.

“Jija, if you keep doing this everyday, I am sure they will ban you from giving entry to the campus. '' My sister who was laughing ,said this while he tried hiding his smile.

“Say this when you see girls flying around your husband ” I taunted her yet she continued laughing.

“I won't be jealous like you . Okay I am leaving. I have to get some books from the library. Bye jija and bye professor DP” She stressed his name to tease me.

"Chale? ” He asked, offering his hand.

“Ha ” I replied but I didn't hold his hand.

I walked following him as I don't have any idea about the campus.

He didn't even bother to say a word. How could he do this? I went to the parking area where his car stood.

“Will you stop staying silent? Speak something na ” I asked after breaking the silence between us.

“Ghar chalo batata hu” He answered and opened the car gate.

I sat inside and he settled down as well. Before I could buckle up my seat belt he stopped my hand from doing it.

I looked at him and he came closer, while his hands buckled the seat belt. I was silent, sitting and looking at him.

“Chale? ” He said softly and I nodded once without saying anything.

He started driving a car wearing his seat belt though I decided I will be the one who will drive back home.

His right hand on the steering wheel and while the left hand held my hand keeping on the gear.

I looked at him feeling  the butterflies for no reason. The complete silence broke when he said, keeping his eyes on the road.

“Suniye ”

"Kahiye ”

“No matter how many girls keep their eyes on me, no matter how many girls have a crush on me. Always remember that I love you and you are the one who got the special place in my heart ”He looked at me once and then again on the road.

“I am sorry. I shouldn't have done this today ” I informed keeping my head on his shoulder and holding his left hand.

“You shouldn't be in first place. Even I would have done the same if someone talked about you in that manner ” He smiled, taking a right turn.

“What are we doing today? ” I asked, looking at him.

"We will have our lunch then we will have a nap then our chai and a lot of talks and love of course ” He smiled while driving.

We reached the society and he parked the car. We got outside and headed towards our home.

After 10 minutes

We got back and washed our hands as we arrived just now.

I informed him that I will bring the dishes from the kitchen and turned to go inside of the kitchen but he stopped me.

“Dhruv kya hua ”

“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are looking today? ”

He asked, touching his forehead with mine, removing my hair near the neck.

Take a deep breath Geetanjali. How  can I forget I wore his favourite saree?

He leaned a little , kissed my left cheek and his hand placed on my back.

“Dhruv we should have our lunch. You can sit here and I will make rotis for you ”

"Forget lunch!  In our six years of crushship I never heard the word hot from your side. You got jealous when they called me " He teased, lifting my chin, gazing into my eyes.

That's true I never said that to him . He knows very well how I get nervous finding him near to be specific closer.

I didn't say anything and stood silently.

“Lunch karte hai chalo ” He said, smiling and hugging me.

TIME SKIP

We had our dinner and I noticed him standing on the balcony. I went to  see what he was doing there standing alone.

“Dhruv , what are you doing standing here? ”

He turned and offered me his hand. I placed my hand and stood next to him. He wrapped his hands around me to provide me warmth.

“Did you remember? I came to your place and you slept on the sofa. ” He spoke, moving his hand on my hair.

“Hmm. I remembered ”  I answered and smiled at him.

“Did you remember our balcony talks which we had in Jaipur at Vihaan's home? ”He continued asking, hugging me tightly

“I remembered everything Dhruv ”I said, looking at the city which lit up during the night time.

“It's going to be one month since we got married. I just want to tell you that no matter how old we grow, no matter how much years get passed after our marriage, I will be the same Dhruv who won't  stop loving, respecting and caring about you ”

“Really?  Even after kids. Won't your love get divided between them and me? ” I asked, placing my head on his shoulder.

“That could be a good debate. I will love them more than you ”

“I don't have any problem if you did this. At the end, they will be as talented as me”

“Don't forget they will be as cute as me? ”

“Stop it Dhruv. It's hardly been a month. ” I said, removing myself from his embrace.

“Okay fine. By the way we should thank Shivu jija's old phone which stopped working six years back” He said, pulling me closer.

“Why? ” I looked at him confusingly as I couldn't understand what he meant.

“If that phone didn't stop all of a sudden, she wouldn't have lost all her photos with you and she wouldn't have asked me to text you on instagram and rest of the story you know it ” He answered, making me stand facing him.

“Thanks to Shivu jija's old phone which stopped working  six  years back and thanks to me for having a crush on you because of  your smile. Thanks to my Mamisa for asking me to get that box .” I said and pulled his cheeks.

“Thanks to destiny for tieing in our crushship ” He hugged me.

"I love you Dhruvpratap to my Geetanjali ” I said and looked at him by raising my head.

His hands cupped my face while I kept hugging him .

“I love you too Rainbow to my Book Magnet ” and he kissed my forehead.
