Sun rays peeked from the window on them, who were sleeping in each other's embrace without even knowing. Ira always has a habit of sleeping while cuddling her pillow.
But looks like someone has replaced the pillow now.

Adhiraj woke up first, this was the first time he has woken up this late. He is always punctual. Waking up at 5 in the morning everyday. But today he woke up an hour and half late. And the sight infront of him is what he wishes to stay forever. Like time could just stop, only them, and he looking at her like she is the most precious one in the world, and for him she is Precious.

He kept staring at her, until his subconscious scolded him that she is his to look at for infinity, now wake up. He rolled his eyes at that. He got up and went to freshen up, and got ready for office as he had and important deal to crack which couldn't be delayed. He really wanted to just spend his day with her, but he promised himself that after he is done with work he will take her out to spend some time. He went to office not before giving a forehead kiss on his sleeping kitten.

Here Ira woke up, and looked at the morning rays from the window. She looked beside her for him, he was nowhere. She got up and went to freshen up. After that she went in the kitchen to make chai. While going there she looked for him but he was nowhere. In the kitchen she went to the fridge to get milk and she saw a sticky note. She read, Going to office for an important meeting, will be back by afternoon.

After doing her morning routine, she was thinking what to do. She was bored, so she thought of complete reading her book. So she went to the balcony in living room, the view and the weather was perfect for her to read. 'Twisted Games'. She wanted to read this book for so long and finally got it. She started reading and got lost in her delusional world.

Here all Adhiraj was thinking was her. The meeting was going on but his mind was messed up with her thoughts. He just wanted this meeting to get over so that he can go to her.

Adhiraj

Is this what it feels to be married. All I'm thinking is about her. I want to be with her right now. I wonder what she is doing, now I can check as I have cameras hidden in the whole apartment except for our bedroom and bathrooms. But I controlled, I will ask her myself.

I know she must have many questions and doubts about our marriage, but I will be there for her. Whatever she wants, she will have it. If wants time to think about this marriage, I will give her time as much as she wants. I just hope she hope she decides to this marriage a chance, give me a chance. Except for leaving me and this marriage, she can have whatever she wants. I have lost many things in life, but I can't lose her. And I won't. Even if she wants or not.

After the meeting I literally ran to our apartment. Never in my life have I been this nervous and excited. After going in I looked for her and saw her in the balcony. She was sitting on the sofa with a cushion on her lap and book on it. She was reading with so much concentration. And oh her rosy lips pouted. I just want to keep giving light kisses on that pout. She was so into that books and I was so into staring at her. Only her. My phone vibrated as I got a message and it broke my staring. With a sigh leaving my lips, I went to our room and got freshen up.

I went downstairs and saw her still engrossed in that book. I cleared my throat to let her know I'm here. But didn't got a response. I again did it but nothing. So I called name for the first time. Ira. That got her attention as she startled and and turned her head to look at me. She closed her book and came to and said," oh tum agaye". I nodded. Then she asked,"Lunch?" I replied," Nahi, apne kiya?"
Shaking her head she said nahi. Then I asked," Lunch ke liye bahar chale?".

Her eyes lit up when I asked and she nods head in excitement. I told her to get ready and she went to the room. I made reservations till then. I had some of clothes in study as I many times just change there instead of going to the room if I'm busy. I wore casual clothes and went in the living room. There she was standing in red dress. Although it was casual but she looked amazing. Red is definitely her colour.
When she turned to look at me she was staring for a whole minute. Wait she is checking me out. I smirked a little and when her eyes caught mine her cheeks reddened as she realised she was caught. She cleared her throat and said ," chalein". I nodded.

I took her to one of my owned restaurant which is famous for authentic Rajasthani food. I ordered my usual thali and she ordered only dal bati churma.
When the waiter was gone I asked her," So how was your day?"
She said with a small smile," I was bored but then I read a book and it was so amazing I didn't even realise when noon came". I nodded. Then she asked me ," how was the meeting?" I replied, "it went well". Our food was brought by the waiter, we ate in silence then.

After our lunch was done we got in the car and went back to apartment. Coming in she turned to me and said," Can we talk now, I want to ask you something". I nodded and said," Get changed and meet in balcony". She nodded and went to our room.

I was standing in the balcony after getting changed. I heard her footsteps and turned and looked at her. I gestured her to sit on the sofa. Then she asked,"Mujhe actually ye puchna tha ki kya mai apni studies continue kar sakti hu?". I said,"Pehli baat toh apko mujhe ye baat puchne ki jarurat hi nahi hai , ofcourse aap apni studies continue kijiye and I will support you". Her eyes lit up at that. And she said," Thank you". I told her," Isme apko mujhe thanks kehne jaise kuch nahi hai, apki life mai apko jo bhi karna ho aap kijiye, don't worry about anything else okay?" She nodded and said okay with a small smile.

"Apko aur kuch puchna hai?" I asked. She looked away for a minute like she was thinking. "Vo tumhari age kya hai?" She asked hesitantly. I cocked an eyebrow and said 32. She widened her eyes and said," Kya, tum 32 ke bilkul nahi lagte she paused and hit her forehead lightly I guess mujhe aap kehna chaiye". To which I immediately said," Nahi aap mujhe tum kehke bol sakti ho, I don't mind".
Because I really don't and honestly I like it a bit. "Toh main apko kitne saal ka lag raha tha?" I asked. She said with a sheepish smile,"27-28, sahi mai tum 32 ke bilkul nahi lagte, aisi konsi cream use karte ho tum". "I don't use any cream". I said with amusement and little smile on my face.
"Tumhare smile achi hai", she said. We looked at each other for a minute then I cleared my throat and asked her what I've wanted to ask for so long. " Mujhe apse kuch puchna hai".
She nodded.

I took a deep breath and looked at her hopefully and asked

"Do you want to give this marriage a chance?"
