Arjun

"So, it's a tradition to keep fast for your spouse, so I did too. I kept a fast for you." I stated honestly, but I guess my honesty was not pleasing for Krisha, because right now she looked like she would behead me then and there.

"You mean to say that you did something that stupid?" She questioned raising her voice a little bit.

"Kr..." Mom was about to interrupt, but I just signalled all the three of them to leave, which they did silently.

"Yaa, but it's not stupid." I reasoned.

"Are you dumb or what? What do you think you fasting for me would've lead us to?" She said kneeling beside the bed.

"The fast is for your partner's long life. If by chance, you wouldn't have fainted outside the house and something would've happened to you, what would I've done? Did you think about it?" She yelled in frustration.

"Calm down Krisha, I'm fine now." I tried to make her understand that I'm perfectly alright right now.

"What calm down? What do you think would've happened to me if something would've happened to you?" She said and by know she was shivering with anger and frustration.

"What even possibly makes you think, I would be able to live a long and happy life, if something would've happened to you?" She yelled with a lot of frustration but then soon broke into small sobs.

"You love me, then why do you do this type of stuff?" Krisha said and by now she was hiccupping due to the cries.

"You don't get to do this to me." She said and by now she was a crying mess.

"Krisha..." I started to reason, but she stopped me.

"No, don't ever do this stuff. I would be nothing without you. Don't do this to me " She said and by now her face was smeared with tears.

I could say nothing to calm her down and that was killing me, so I raised by both hands and cupped her face making her look at me, direct in the eye.

She looked like a innocent kid with those puffy eyes, red cheeks and red nose.

"I'm fine." I said and she instantly calmed down.

"Don't do this again." She said and flung herself to me, embracing me with such a force, I would've lost balance if not for the headrest.

"I'll never do anything, that would make you this worried and sad." I said, rubbing her back lightly.

This is strange. Krisha never cries. Even when she had bits of bangles pierced in her skin, she did nothing, seeing her cry so much is honestly worrying me.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything like this again." I assured her, and she looked at  me, wiped her tears and stood up, and did something I never expected, she pecked my forehead.

I thought I was the one who fainted and hit his head.

"Promise" She asked.

"Promise." I said and she looked at ne with a smile. Finally.

She then sat down beside me and held my hand as if assuring herself that I'm there perfectly alright.

She was lost looking at our entangled hands and I was lost looking at her. After so long I'm seeing her from so close, and to be honest, I feel like I'm falling in love all over again.

"Krisha?" I called and she turned her face towards me.

"Are you giving a chance to us? Like as in.... a couple?" I whispered the last part still unsure about why I even asked and broke my moment of happiness.

"Of course duh! Do you think, I go around pecking anyone's forehead?" She questioned with an surprise tone, but what she said made me smile like a fool.

"Aww! Thank you so much!" I whisper yelled in a happy tone and flew my arms around, hugging her.

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up ever.

She too reciprocated the hug and we were hugging each other as if for God knows how long we were longing for each other.

We were in our own world when a knock on the door brought us back to the reality and we parted away, it felt like a part of me was taken away, but with a promise that if would be with me forever.

It was mom, who had called us for all the breaking the fast rituals.

We did as our all time rituals and traditions teacher aka mom told us to and then finally had our dinner and we were back in the room.

For some reason, I was really happy to enter the room today and I pray to God that please let this be same forever.

Krisha

Oh my goodness!

This husband of mine is going to drive me crazy someday.

Like the person who can't even skip dinner, literally stayed hungry the whole day for me.

You all know?

Till yesterday, every fibre of my body except my brain was fixed on the fact that this guy is going to be my forever. Only him, no options, no choices just him.

And today, when my heart literally skipped a beat seeing him fainted, even my brain screamed, that yes Krisha, he's your forever and maybe, you'll fall in love with him.

Not sure about the later part, but it's going to come eventually.

Basic human facts, I guess.

I'm acting so like teenager, I would've laughed at myself some months earlier.

Guess, some company is really good and important for you.

And you know what?

It was not at all weird to give him a peck, and I took literally half a year to hold hands with my ex, because I would freak out every time he came near me.

But Arjun?

He's totally different, and my body reacts to him completely different. Like I've never felt this way before and I was in a relationship before.

But it's a great feeling and I wish this remains with me always.

And damn, that look in his eyes, when I pecked his forehead. The surprise, the excitement, the shock and the love.

About love, he looks at me with those big love-filled eyes always. It seriously makes me wonder where was this human species before five years?

But I'm glad, I found him sooner.

I'm happy and that's what counts.

.

.

We finally completed the dinner and now it's time to go to sleep.

I went inside the room, to look at him, busy reading books.

He reads so much,He even reads newspapers, like who even reads newspapers these days, don't people just swipe on the phones to check news?

But never mind.

"Good Night Krisha." He said, as I was about lie down next to him.

"Good Night Arjun." I wished back and slept, but soon snuggled close to him. This is really comfortable. It's like my new normal. And I'm loving it.
