Misha's POV:

"Why are you so angry?" Janvi asked as I didn't spoke anything during the whole ride. Once we got home I went directly to the room assigned to me. I was both hurt and angry. What does Varun think of himself? Why did he left from that place once he saw us coming? At one moment he will be so sweet and at other, he is completely opposite. It's because of him that I had to face all the strange looks and questions asked by everyone. They all thought that we had an argument and so Varun left.

I was about to close the door but then I saw Janvi entering with Isha, so I stopped and allowed them to come in. I went and sat on the bed still thinking of the reason why Varun must have left that place.

"Bhabhi, What happened? Why are you so angry?" Janvi once again asked as she placed Isha beside me and my clingy baby immediately came and sat on my lap.

"How can you even ask that? Don't you know what your brother did? You know I hate lying and it's because of him that I had to lie. God knows what excuses I made in front of our family." I said and turned Isha so that she was facing me.

"Bhabhi." Janvi called but I didn't pay any attention to it.

"Your brother has a multiple personality disorder. At one moment he will behave so sweet and at other he will behave as if he doesn't know us." I said fixing Isha's hair 

"Bhabhi." Janvi said however I ignored it again.

"Now you don't get mad. I'm saying the truth." I said and saw Isha smiling.

"You know what baby, you should give at least one percent of your smile to your dad. The man needs it more than anything." 

"Bhabhi." Janvi said this time a little louder forcing me to look at her. As I lifted my head I saw Varun standing in front of the door. Oh no, when did he came? Did he heard what I said? 

"She was sleepy when we came here so make her sleep early." He said to Janvi and left without saying a word. Why am I so stupid?

"Don't look at me, I called but you were so busy in your own world." Janvi said.

"Now make her sleep as what your dear husband said." She said further and went out of the room.

Next day,

Unlike yesterday, today I choose to wear a very simple red dress. Matching it with silver earrings I opened the door to go out but was stopped when I bumped into someone. The sweet fragrance of the perfume was enough for me to find out that the person is none other than my love, who has mastered the art of spoiling my mood. now he will start scolding me and I definitely don't want that. I took a step behind and faced him.

"Listen, before you start shouting at me, I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming." I said as I continued further.

"Ishu is awake. I have also made her ready and Janvi will bring her downstairs. Okay?" I asked however I knew I was not going to get a reply so I left that place. New mornings are new start and I don't like to spoil them.

Varun's POV:

"Good morning." Misha said to my cousins as she went downstairs. They don't even know each other properly but have mingled as if they have met years ago. Why she has to be so friendly with everyone? In fact, how does she do that?

As I looked at her, She was going towards Kitchen for probably helping mom and others, like a good daughter-in-law, however she stopped in middle and went towards Krish, my cousin's son, who was struggling to wear his shoe. She helped him wear and I heard my cousin telling Krish to say thanks but instead he kissed her forehead and ran out of the house leaving Misha in complete shock.

"Cute, isn't she?" Janvi asked as she came and stood next to me.

"Are you going somewhere?" I asked as I saw her fully ready to go somewhere.

"Yes. Forest. Bhabhi is so desperate to see it." She said as she handed Isha towards me and went downstairs  before I could reply. Are they going alone?

I was going to ask her this question however I didn't had to when I saw the rest of my cousins moving out of the house. Ok, they are going together.

I went and got settled on the couch looking at everyone when my aunt came and sat next to me.

"Aren't you going?" She asked.

"No. I'm tired." I replied and saw her looking at Misha and Parth who were so busy talking to each other.

"Is everything alright between you two? You don't look like every other couple." because we are not like every other couple.

"Yes. Everything is fine. I'm tired that's the reason why I'm not going." I replied.

"Ok." She replied. Her face clearly showed that she wants to ask more questions but then I was lucky enough that she didn't. As she went from there, I took out my phone to see if there were any important messages.

"Varun, let's go, we are also going with them." Parth said.

"I'm not coming." I declared.

"Please. I want to go." he said tapping my head.

"You go. I have work." I said but I guess he didn't understood what I said.

"Listen man. I made a deal with Misha. She is 100% sure that you won't come and on the other hand I said you will. I'm not going to lose this deal, If I had to pick you up and go there, I'm going to do that as well. It would be better if you come willingly." he continued. The deal is the reason why he wants to go there?

"Who told you to make this stupid deal? And what are you going to get in return." 

"That's our secret. You are coming or should I pick you?" He asked sternly.

"I'm not coming." I stated and he actually pulled my hand, making me stand.

"Let's go." He said and took Isha with him, whereas I was left with no option to follow him. 

As we reached there I saw everyone wandering in the forest as if they have never seen it. Misha and Janvi were nowhere to be seen, I looked around to search for them and finally saw them coming from the other side so busy in their own world that they didn't see us.

"Misha." Parth called her and pointed towards me. No doubt she looked shocked to see me but soon composed herself.

"I won, don't forget to complete our deal." Parth said further however she didn't reply to him anything she just went from there.

"Cheater." He said making me look at him. I asked him what the deal is.

"You will get to know, after all it's related to you." He said and went further following others. 

As we went to the other side of the forest we realized that the road to it had so many thorns and big stones everywhere. It was quite difficult to dodge them all, I even suggested to go  back but no one listened as there was a lion's den few minutes away from here. As what Dad used to tell, when he was younger, a lion used to stay there however now there's no trace of any lion in the entire village because it is all developed now. 

Everyone has already seen that den, except for hyper active and hyper excited Misha, even when I told to go back she wants to go further. Moreover she choose to wear the wrong attire again. Her dress was way too long making her difficult to walk but that still didn't stopped her from going further. 

Misha's POV:

I was so excited to see Lion's den that I didn't allow Varun to cancel our plan. It was the first time that I actually saw a lion's den. Varun's older cousin was telling me about the route's Lion used to come from whereas my dear husband was busy on his phone.

After we were done exploring that  place we decided to leave. I don't know why and how but the road seemed much more difficult to walk on then it was before. I was so careful with the thorns because I was wearing slippers, I wasn't even aware, whose slippers they were, I just asked Dadi if I could wear them and she said yes. As I walked further, I don't know how, a thorn got into my leg. Oh no.

I immediately sat on a stone nearby crying in pain. Janvi heard me crying and she immediately called everyone before I could tell her to stop. Man, Varun will come and scold me again. However it was too late to think about anything, Varun was already coming towards me.

"I told you to be careful. Can't you walk properly?" He said making me more hurt. I was already wincing in pain and his words just added more pain. Why does he always has to shout at me?

"Varun help your wife, she is hurt." Aunty said. How is he going to help me? He can only scold me, nothing else.

I was waiting for him to scold me further but nothing like that happened, he came and knelt in front of me, taking my injured leg in his hand.

"No." I protested as I really feel very awkward when someone touches my leg. However he didn't listen to me.

"Stop crying." He said as he carefully took the thorn out of my leg making me wince in pain.

"It hurts." I cried again. The moment he took the thorn out the pain increased, also the flow of blood! Even here Varun was quick enough to dress my foot with his handkerchief to stop the blood from flowing out.

"Don't cry. It's done now." he said very calmly. I swear if I was not hurt, I would have been blushing so hard.

"How will you walk till home?" Janvi asked. Yes actually, how am I going to walk now? Ok misha, Varun is surely going to scold you again.

"I will try to walk." I said before he could say anything. He extended his hand for me to stand and I happily placed my hand in his for the support however I was not able to stand properly so I sat down again.

"She can't walk. Now there's only one option left." Parth said as everyone looked at him.

"What option?" Janvi asked.

"Varun knows." He said with a wink and moved from there taking Isha with him. What option? Does he mean that Varun is going to lift me? Well that's not going to happen, I should better try walking again. I said to myself and was about to get up but was completely froze when I felt Varun lifting me up in bridal style. Omg, am I dreaming? I swear I heard the song 'Lover' by taylor swift playing in my ears when I felt him lift me.

"Wow." Janvi exclaimed.

"Shut up and start walking. Also be careful with the thorns." He said to her making me giggle.

"You too." She said and started walking.

"Sure I'm not careless like many people." He said. No doubt it was a taunt to me.

"I was careful and you don't have to do this, I will walk." I said.

"Keep quiet now." He said as he continued walking. I wrapped my hands around his neck leaning more towards him. He looked at me to see what I was trying to do, however I was quick enough to look away.

Once I realized that he wasn't looking at me anymore I looked at him again.

My man, you have a very different way of showing concern towards others. Not that I'm going to complain because I love every second of it. I always loved you and I will always keep loving you. 

I thought of the things I would have done to him now if we were like a normal couple. Pullings his cheeks which is also the deal I made with Parth and now I don't know how am I going to do that, Tickling his neck, playing with his ears and not to forget about all those kisses he would have got, only if we were like a real husband and wife. Anyway, maybe one day.
