Shreya slowly opened her eyes, slowly becoming used to her surroundings. The room was lit with bright white lights, making her almost go blind. She squinted her eyes, trying to get used to it. She looked to her left and saw a drip connected to her left wrist. By now, she knew that she was in a hospital room. She saw a man sitting beside her and she got a dejà vu.

Yuvan.

He was sitting beside her bed, holding her hand. He didn't notice that she was awake because he had kept his head down on their intertwined hands.

The scene felt familiar to the one when she got hit by Yuvan's car and he had brought her to the hospital.

"Hey!", she said in a cracking voice.

Yuvan looked up with a jerk and Shreya was shocked by looking at his condition. His eyes were blood shot and she could tell that he had cried a lot. His hairs, which always remained neatly done, today were all messy.

"You are awake", he said with pure glee, tightly hugging her.

Shreya hugged him back, taking in his smell of mint and cologne. Being in his arms, felt like home to her.

When they parted, Yuvan planted a small kiss on her forehead.

Shreya smiled at him and said, "Missed me that much, huh?".

"You can't imagine", Yuvan said with a chuckle. "How are you feeling?".

"A little pain in my head but other than that, I'm fine", she told. "I don't remember anything. I can recall getting kidnapped and then they took me to an old motel or something. Then, they gave me something to drink. I wasn't drinking it so they threatened me that they would kill me. So, I had to drink it and after that, I don't know what happened".

"Don't worry, okay?", Yuvan said. "They are under police custody. We will soon find out why did they do that and what was their motive behind it".

Shreya nodded and tried to sit up straight. Yuvan kept his hand behind her back, supporting her. Once she was in a comfortable position, she asked for a glass of water. Yuvan poured her some water in a glass from a bottle kept on her bedside table and brought it up to her lips.

"Thank you", she said.

"No problem", he replied, keeping the glass down on the table and sat on the chair again.

"Is this the same room where they kept me when I had that accident?", Shreya asked.

Yuvan chuckled and replied, "Yes, co-incidentally".

"Do you remember you proposed that contract here?", Shreya said, giggling.

Yuvan's expressions immediately changed on the mention of the contract.

"Um yeah", Yuvan said and cleared his throat before speaking again. "I wanted to ask you something about that contract".

"Go ahead", Shreya said.

"This was the place where I started it and today I wanna end it here itself".

Shreya's face went blank and slowly said, "Are we getting a divorce?".

"Divorce? No way", Yuvan said, shaking his head. "I meant that we should end that contract and just stay together. I want to have a normal marriage with you".

"Ohh", Shreya said and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought that this moment would be romantic. You ruined it Shreya".

"Sorry", Shreya said.

They both didn't say anything for a few moments but when they looked at each other again, they both burst into laughter.

"So, what now?", Yuvan asked hopefully.

Shreya understood what he tried to say but she acted like a fool.

"We are going home now", she said.

"Just once", Yuvan said. "Please, just for once co-operate with me when I am trying to make a moment romantic".

Shreya laughed at him and pinched his cheeks. "You are so cute, Yuvan".

He slapped her hand away.

"Okay, I will be serious now", she said. "I love you Yuvan".

Yuvan looked at her with wide eyes.

"I wanted to say that first", he said.

"You are impossible Yuvan", Shreya said, narrowing her eyes at him. "First you ask me to make it romantic and now you are complaining".

"Okay fine", Yuvan said with a sigh. "I love you too".

They both looked at each other with soft smiles on their faces.

"You are going to come here or shall I come to you?", Shreya asked.

Yuvan shook his head with a smile and sat next to Shreya on her bed. They looked into each other's eyes with pure admiration. Yuvan's eyes fell on her lips, asking for the permission to capture them. Shreya nodded and that was all he needed.

He cupped her cheeks in his hands and lowered his face a little, capturing her lips with his own.

It felt like thousands of sparks exploded inside them. Shreya kept her hands on his shoulders, kissing him back.

They started off slow. Gentle and tender as if saying 'I love you' in every second of it.

Who would have predicted that where the contract started, it would end at the same place?
