Shreya Pov

Life really changes the way we dont expect. From past few days my relation with Karthik started becoming stronger day by day. We wake up, cook, eat, sleep and fight together. Our pillow fights, buying cakes just to smear cream on each others face, throwing water, hiding mobiles everything brings us more closer. Amidst all this Karthik did not confess his love nor did I do that. Even though those magical words are unsaid we could feel it.

Now from two days we are fighting and I am not ready to give up. Karthik allowed a girl to flirt with him, when I questioned he said he did not know its flirting. After that instead of spending time with me he is working like a maniac. Everything changed except that he does not share his work. I came to my new built home and started arranging all the stuff I bought to decorate it. Its a kind of distraction from our fight.

When I finished my work I got a call from Ankith, "Shre! Where are you?" I heard his frantic tone. "I am coming home" I said casually. "Better be soon, we are waiting" he said and line went off. I waited for any cab or auto but could not find one. I cursed myself for not buying any vehicle. Thankfully internet helped me in getting cab and I reached home.

"How come you both are here? Karthik came home this early!" I asked Preet and Ankith. "He is sick. Taking rest" Preet said and I ran to our room. I went and sat beside him, he is having fever and there are dark circles around his eyes. His tired look made my heart twist in pain. "What the hell you both were doing when he is working alone? Why are you even there when you cant work?" I shouted on both of them. "We do our work and regarding his work you know bhai does not share it" Preet said in low tone. 

"You should thank god that I am not in your company or I am not your boss" I said shaking my head. I heard chuckle and turned around. "Are you that bossy" Karthik asked with a teasing smile. Even though he is ill, still he is trying to make me smile. "Want to experience it?" I said raising my eyebrow. "I would love to" he said and held me. "Now I am safe with my wife. So will you both let us have sometime together" Karthik said making my eyes go wide. "Enjoy" Preet winked and left with her husband. 

"What was that?" I asked him drawing circles on his hand. "Providing freedom to you to fight with me or make love to me" he said and I punched him. Next day I did not allow him to go to office. "Then you stay at home, I will be bored" he whined. "I have important meetings or else I will never you like this"  saying this I pecked on his cheek and left. Night I was dead tired "Dinner is ready" Karthik said. "Why did you do? I told you to take rest not to cook" I said eating delicious food made by him. "I am perfectly alright and when will I get chance to help you like this" he explained. I slept happily in his arms when he was admiring me.

"Wake up Shreya!" Karthik said shaking me. "Why this early?" I questioned. "We are going to temple, so get ready soon" he said taking out his clothes. "Any special?" I asked getting out of bed. "Happy Wedding Anniversary Darling!" Karthik hugged me. I totally forgot about it. "Sorry, I forgot. Happy first anniversary" I said and got ready. 

We went to temple for blessings, later he took me for a movie then shopping, lunch, game zone and finally we reached home. "Get ready in half an hour in this, we are going to a party" he said giving me a pack. "Try to look your best which you already are" he added. I did as he said and came out just to look at a dashing person who is more hot than any hero. Karthik is looking devilishly handsome and I felt like nothing before him. "You are looking beautiful and hot too" he winked at me. 

"Nothing compared to you" I said getting in his car. "Thanks for the compliment" he said with a smirk. I kept staring at him all the while, we reached party place. "Am I that irresistible?" Karthik asked pulling me into him. I nodded my head blushing. While walking inside I did not spot anyone, may be we are too early I thought. When we went in I am more than surprised to see all my family. My parents, in-laws, all friends, colleagues, business partners . . everyone are there and wished us.

"After setting all our lives with our love, finally you got time to do it for yours" Divya and Riddhi said making all others clap. I am more happy to see all others happy around me. Its all only because of Karthik. He suddenly escaped somewhere and I started searching for him. "Wait! What is the hurry to find him?" Preet stopped me. "What will you gift him? Did you not guess there will be surprise like this when any of us did not call to wish you?" she asked waking the senses in me. I was so lost with Karthik that I did not get time to think all this. Preetisha smiled at my face, "This is why he kept you occupied with all things from morning" she said making me stand somewhere.

Then all the lights went off and a spotlight fell on me, "This for the most special person, my love, my life and my heartbeat" Karthik said and light was on him too. He started playing his guitar and started singing the most romantic song of this decade. While he is singing we lost each other looking into each others eyes. After the song all lights were back and Karthik knelled before me "Will you be my life forever? Can I be love of your life forever?" he asked holding a ring for me. All of them were looking with anxiety, I looked into his eyes which are questioning me and said "Yes, I will and you are" I said. I thought he will hug me but he lifted me and swirled. 

After attending all guests I stood there looking at all of them. Karthik pulled me out towards parking lot. "We cannot leave like this, what will all think if hosts are missing?" I tried to stop him. "They all know, dont worry" he said closing my eyes. When I opened I saw latest AUDI R8 V10 Plus making me blink my eyes. "This is yours" Karthik said handing me keys. "For me?" I asked in shock. "I know you like ferrari sports car but will not drive it. So this is for you" he said in assuring tone. "You drive, I want you to drive first" I said giving him keys. "Your wish is my command" he said bowing.

We reached a garden near lake and sat on a bench. "If I ask you few questions will you answer them?" Karthik asked and I nodded. "Did you hate me during first months of our marriage when I left you and went to all places for our company?" he asked with sad face. "I missed you but never hate you even when you were acting with Shruthi I never hate you" I answered sincerely. I want to confess my feelings to him. "We can never hate someone we love" I said in low tone hardly audible.

"Do you really think your secret admirer is Ashish?" he asked all of sudden. "No" I said shaking my head. "That day along with Nishanth and Anokhi you decided right?" he demanded. "There is slight resemblance but the strokes and curves are different. So I know its not him, I did not say out because if I say they will start searching. I want my secret admirer to come out himself not by our force" I voiced what I felt. 

"You never saw my hand writing then" Karthik said with a naughty smile making me smile with surprise. "So you are my secret admirer! Wow!" I said jumping and clapping. "I liked you first time I saw you, fell for you slowly. I dont know when but I fell in love with you deeply. I told my parents I like you and rest you know" he said. "So this is a love marriage for you?" I stated. "Why did yo not tell me before?" I pouted. 

"I wanted it to be a surprise for you after our marriage. You how dad handed over company responsibilities, after that Shruthi issue. It was painful for me to stay away from you and hurting you. I am also hurt as much as you are or may be more. I could share my feelings , I felt so lonely" Karthik said with lots of pain which is in his eyes and voice. I hugged him tightly. 

"Will you forgive me for all this? The remaining secret which I hid is this" Karthik asked looking into my eyes. "There is nothing to forgive you but I am sad that all of you had love marriages except me" I said looking down. He raised my chin with his finger "But your love is stronger than any of ours" Karthik said closing all the gap between us. "I love you" both of us said at a time and smiled at it. "I love you" we said again in unison. This time before I could react Karthik started kissing my lips.

"It took one year for us to have our first kiss" I said smiling when we parted. "It will not one more second too for second one" saying this he started kissing me again. Its more passionate one were I too responded back with same intensity.

Later he brought me to my newly built home. I was shocked when he opened security lock. "How do you know about this?" I asked him. "It does not matter" he shrugged but seeing me glaring "Ok cool. Even I have access to this. Being your husband I did this. Any problem?" he asked raising his eyebrow. "I was just worried about security" I said sighing. "You have great taste. I love this house. We will fill this with all our good memories" he said hugging me from back. 

"Thank you for being with me always.This is house is ours from now. I love you Karthik and we will make this home of our memories" I said with happy tears. He wiped my tears and lifted me in bridal style "How about creating memories from bedroom first?" he asked huskily making me blush. We created memory of becoming one and rest followed in love. In my dream home with my Karthik is the best thing which can ever happen.
