The very next morning when shehnaaz woke up she could hear some noise from the kitchen....... Getting up from her bed she rushed to the washroom , washing her face after brushing she came out still holding the face towel patting her face dry ......

Walking towards the kitchen she could see the faint outline of a man standing there doing something with a spoon in his hand ...... Slowly she tiptoe towards the small yet bright open kitchen of her apartment .......

Leaning on the arched entrance with her arms folded on her chest she could see the Greek God standing there half naked wearing only his shorts making tea ...... With a drooling mouth and awestruck face she stood there tracing her eyes over the prominently defined back muscles which moved once in a while due to his movement .......

Stirring the milk tea with the spoon in his hand he could feel a pair of eyes on his back ...... Sidharth could smell the sweet fragrance of her fruity shampoo from the place he was standing...... With a big grin on his face he though of teasing her ....... It's just harmless flirting with his own wife ...... That isn't a sin right ?.......

Turning off the stove he turned around while asking her a question ......

Sid : On a scale of one to ten how hot do you think your husband is ?

He could see her unfocused eyes which seemed to he imagining something....... May be something naughty........ She might even be thinking about recreating something which she wanted .......

Taking some wide strides towards her he once again muttered the same questions ......

Sid : On a scale of one to ten how hot do you think your husband is ?

Sana : Umm ..... Hundred .......

Sid : If you really think you have such a hot husband then why are you standing so far away from me sweetheart ....?

He said the words with a husky voice bending himself to face her from her height ......

Sana : Huh ?......

She suddenly said coming out of the daze she was in but in the next instant becoming a blushing mess the moment she realises their close proximity.......

Trying to take a step back she moved back her leg a little but she couldn't because of his arms that's were encircled around her waist cahing her to the wall .......

Sid : Good morning sweetheart ......

Sana : Go...Good morning Sidharth ......

She said looking at his eyes ...... She didn't know the reason why there is an awkward feeling inside her stomach ...... She felt as if the whole zoo was having a party at an odd time of the day inside her stomach ......

Sana : You were asking me something.......

Sid : Yeah ..... I did and you even gave me the answer but that wasn't justifying why you were standing so far away from me and not wishing me the first thing in the morning .......

The next moment she felt a blush creeping on her face when she heard him asking her reason of standing away from him .......

She although tried to show that she wasn't a bit intimidated by him but what could she do when her dream man was standing infront of her ......

With a meak voice she thought about giving answers to his questions ......

Sana : Uhhh..... I ..... I was just looking at my hand....handsome husband......

Sid : Oh .... Really...... then I forgive you this time ......

Sana : Hmmm ......

She didn't know what came on to her but she instantly hugged him and kissed on his chest as if telling him how sorry she was for not wishing her ........

He pulled her towards the livingroom with his one arm around her waist and made her sit on the grey barrel chair before leaning on her .....

She looked into his chocolate brown eyes trying to decode the mystery that is playing in his mind..... She sat there stiff trying to calm down her heart which had been beating more than hundred times per minute ........

Suddenly she felt the touch of a soft lips on her cheek ..... Looking at him with all her focus on his actions she felt shy with the fact she didn't expect him to be such a tease......

Thinking that it is was clear sign that he wants her to kiss him too she moved her face a little forward and tried to kiss him on his cheeks as well ... But it was all in the words " tried to " because Sidharth turned his head the moment she was a few millimeters away from him and that ended up in a quick yet a peck on his lip ......

With a devilish smirk on his face he stood up straight and walked towards the kitchen leaving the gullible little girl flushed to the point where she could even win against tomato if they competed against one another .......

With a small smile on her face she leaned back on the chair before shrieking in excitement.........

Sana : It was my first kiss.......

She whispered.......

Sid : But that was just a peck darling ..... you'll definitely remember our first kiss till the say we are alive like it just happened a moment ago .....

Sana : You are shameless.....

Hearing his words she hid her face with her palms trying to hide herself and save herself from the embarrassment that's going to follow......

Deciding to stop his teasing session now he picked her cup of tea and forwarded towards her .....

Sid : Here ..... have some tea made by this famous hero ......

Sana : Thank you my lord ......

Sid : Oh .... Really ...... we are recreating a scene .....

Sana : May be ......

Sid : Go ... ahead .... I'll play along ......

Accompanying her soft giggles she sat in a proper lady like posture and started to drink her tea with the finest etiquettes .......

Sid : So how do you like the tea my lady ....?

Sana : It's fantastic your highness ..... The perfect ratio of the water to the milk along with the enchanting and engulfing aroma of the tea leves is just the perfect combination along with the two spoon full of sugar ......

Sid : Thank you for your kin words my lady ......

Sana : Well your highness as we are almost done with our morning tea what would you like to have as your breakfast in my humble aboard....?

Sid : Well lady Shehnaaz I don't know about the humbleness but I sincerely know that I feel peacefully and really claming when I am with you ....... And when you asked about the breakfast then you should get ready we'll both go out .....

Sana : And here I thought that I was bad at acting .....

Sid : When did I give a bad performance?

Sana: You went out of our actual topic .....

Sid : Oh ...... I'm sorry I just wanted you to know how I feel .....

Sana : I know Sidharth ...... I was just kidding......

Sid : You better be......

Sana : I'm......

Sid : You should go and get ready ......

Sana : Hmm..... You should go as well .....

Sid : Umm. ..... no .... I think I'll go like this ......

Sana : NO!...... you are not going like this...?

Sid : Why ?

Sana : You ..... You are naked ......

Sid : I'm wearing my shorts.....

Sana : Ummm huh ..... practically half naked .....

Sid : Why ?

Sana : I don't want anyone to see you like this .....

Sid : But they had seen me on screen .....

Sana : On screen and in real are different...... Please Sidharth......

Sid : Okay .... Okay .... Don't worry I was about to go .....

Sana : You better ......

Giving him a glare she ran towards her bedroom ..... Finishing her morning routine she took a quick shower and wore her outfit..... Wearing a black chickankari kurti with a straight jeans and a flat sandal ...... Tying her hair in a messy bun she finished her minimalistic makeup , wore a pair of oxidized earings and a small bindi before taking her handbag and coming out of the room .....

As soon as she came to the livingroom she found her husband sitting on the couch scrolling down the for you page in twitter...... Shehnaaz couldn't stop her eyes from roaming around his whole attire ...... The casual black bohemian style shirt with its top three open buttons along with a beige coloured trouser with some casual sneakers and the most important the sunglasses that hung on his shirt ...... His hair styled to perfection gave his over all look an air of sophistication........

Although she was really spell bound to his appearance she knew about his forgetfull nature when it came to his skin care ...... Taking out her travel sized sunscreen lotion she went and stood infront of him ......

He looked up towards her the moment he saw her sandals while going through his phone ....... Without caring what he would say she started to apply the lotion on his face and neck area .......

Most probably most of the male species on this earth would have retaliated the moment their partner did something like this but Sidharth on the other hand was happy with her care ...... He took it as an opportunity for looking at her beautiful facial features .......

Her sharp nose , expressive eyes , silky smooth and long hair , her kissable lips , swan like neck was all he needed for him to realize the amount of attraction he felt towards her ......

He could recognise the amount of makeup she had put on to cover up the scars from the fight ..... Although his heart ached to see her like that , he couldn't do anything rather than trying to sympathize or comfort her ....... Keeping his opinion to himself he looked at her innocent smiling face which reminded him of those cute dolls ....

He knew that she was really pretty but seeing her infront of his eyes wearing the most common outfit for an young girl gave him different satisfaction to his mind ....... He was happy with the fact that all the other people could only admire her from afar while he was the one who had the right to call this beautiful creature his ......

Coming out of the dream world he said .....

Sid : Should we go ?

Sana : We should but aren't you tensed about getting identified by people ......?

Sid : I am but at the same time people doesn't really know that I have grown my beard now ...... It can be a sign that I won't be recognized .....

Sana : I don't think so ..... You need something more ..... Like a mask and a cap may be.......

Sid : In that case let's take both of them with us......

Sana : Yeah .....

Sid : Then what about you?

Sana : People already know that I live here ......

Sid : Confidence.......

He went to his room , took his essentials and checked himself once again before coming out of the room ......

Sid : Well I know that I'm handsome so you really don't have to look at me discretely........ I'm fully yours .....

Shehnaaz being the blushing mess ran out of the apartment with the keys followed by Sidharth ...... She locked the apartment and soon both reaches the parking area of the building
......

She sat down on the passenger seat while he took the other and started to drive the car according to the GPS...... It didn't take them more than forty five minutes to reach Delhi Pavilion for their breakfast ......

Parking the car they entered inside the restaurant hand in hand ...... Shehnaaz the person who has always craved for love and attention was happy to the core that her husband was really someone who likes to do this small small gestures which makes her heart go crazy ......

While both of them had their breakfast sitting in one of the secluded areas for their privacy , they talked about anything and everything.......

Holding hands , smiling , laughing were the most common thing for every couple but they weren't like that ......

A single eye contact , his bunny smile , her laughter was all they craved ...... He loved the way she looked at him like he was actually the last man on the planet ..... He felt as if he could conquer anything for her ......

In the restaurant too she sat opposite to him with her plate of fresh fruits , a single parantha and some mini idlies as her breakfast while looking at him as if registering all his features in her brain for the rest of her life ......

While he saw her staring at him he took her hand in his and kissed on the back of her palm ..... Only a small lingering kiss was all she needed for her to blush profusely...... That kiss whose time period was negligible was all that required for them to recognise that the world around them had obliquely faded ......

They felt as if the little lingering touch was enough to make them recognise about their connection ....... It was enough for Sidharth to pledge his loyalty to her for the rest of their life ........ It was enough for Shehnaaz to know that she was in the right track of her life ...... She knew that this man would never ever let her regret her decision she took till the day she welcomes her death whole heartedly ......

With a captivating smile on her face she started to have mouth full of her food ......

Not knowing what the future behold for them was better for her than knowing the uncertainty of trouble and sadness she might have felt with the other person ....... There were times in the past week when she though about the possible outcomes if she had actually married to Karanveer Singh .......

Well it wasn't really difficult for her to actually dissect her future with him as if it was her reality ...... She knew even though most people won't find her words believable but she actually possed the power of familiarization with anyone within few instances..... And the same thing happened with him too .... His body language, the way he spoke , his faiths , beliefs and the customs he thought was necessary were all red flags that no one deserves in their life and that included her as well ......

Just because she was someone who really wanted her father to recognise her , to support her doesn't mean that she would destroy her life and burn down all her dreams to ashes just for them.......

...

...

...

...

Time passed by and soon it was already late in the afternoon when both the newly wed husband and wife were roaming around the conjested market of Sarojini ...... Well although it was just a wish of hers to visit that market with her lover but for him it was a way of knowing her better each and every moment......

Trying on the different jhumka's on her infront of the small mirror in the shop she turned around looking at him for his suggestion .......

Sana : Which one ?

Well although most of the time ladies would ask their men about their choice on certain things and do the opposite but it wasn't the same case when it came to her ...... She asked about his preference through her facial movements once again , without even uttering a word but Sidharth knew what she wanted ...... With his charming smile on his face he indicated towards the chandbali ......

A satisfied smile played on her delicate face the moment she recognized about their similar preferences......

Finally about an hour later Sidharth had already found out about her love for different earing...... He had already chosen may be around fifteen different one's with intricate and unique design for her.....

Both of them were roaming around the market hand in hand buying anything that caught his or her interest and eating the over rated street food they always see on the internet ....... They were on their way back to their car when Sidharth pulled shehnaaz infront of him and wrapped his arm around her ....... It looked as if he didn't want her to get lost or may be hurt by anything or anyone over there ......

Soon they reached her apartment with his arms full of shopping bags ..... He kept them on the couch while she brought some water for him ......

After changing her cloths she rushed to the kitchen and started making dinner ...... She wanted to may be have an indoor date with him ...... May be a candle light dinner with him would be a good option .........

Thinking that she started prepare the lamb tagine ....... It's one of the new recipes she learnt from the internet ........

While she was mixing the arrays of spices in the pot a pair of arm encircled around her waist ....... Tilting her head to a side she kept on doing her work......

Sidharth after changing laid on his bed ..... Actually he was the one who gave the prompted the idea of living in separate rooms but here he was the one who was having massive trouble......

Although it wasn't like he ever shared a bed with another person while being in a relationship previously but in this case it was different..... He actually craved to be near her and as a result when he felt lonely inside the room he rushed towards the kitchen from where he can hear her anklet bells chime ......

He encircled his arms around her waist while trying to deeply burrow his nose in her neck...... He could smell the natural sweet scent of her body which actually gave him the sense of peace to his soul .........

Looking at the pot that had the different ingredients in it , his confused mind asked her about her creation.......

Sid : What are you making ?

Sana : To be honest this is the first time I am making this thing ....... It's called lamb tagine ........ I don't even know of I pronounced it right .....

Sid : You did perfect darling ....... I'm so happy that you are making this ...... It's one of my favorite dish .......

Sana : I hope you like the end result .......

Sid : I'm sure I am going to....... You are such a good cook after all .....

Sana : Thanks for the compliment.....

Sid : Well then let me help you ......

Sana: You don't need to ......

Sid : I want to........

Sana : Okay ...... as your wish my highness ......

Sid : I do .... My lady but before that I'm making Some coffee ....

Sana : Sure go ahead ......

Sidharth made coffee for two and poured it into Two cups before adding the right amount of sugar into it ...... Handing one cup to her he sipped on his......

He discovered her ponytail was getting loose each moment and the stray hairs were disturbing her ....... Taking out her rubber band he put her hair in one of the easiest buns he could master after hundreds of hairstyling sessions with his neice.......

The moment Shehnaaz felt her hair bring tied up into a bun by him a smile played on her lips she turned around a placed a small kiss on his cheek ........

Enjoying one off the date night activity of cooking together they once again realised about their perfect team work ...... Setting up a candle light dinner with the simple lamb tagine , rice pilaf and an apple pie they sat down to enjoy their hearty dinner date .......

The sparkling and glowing fairy lights , the soft yet cold wind blowing in through the window , the dark room lit up with small scented candles , a small round dining table in the centre of the room with two opposite chairs , a hearty delicious meal placed on it , a couple of candles burning in the middle ....... This was the simple dinner date they had ......

Picking up a spoon full of the delicious meal he looked at his wife to her his gratitude but found her with a terrified look on her face....... With a light chuckle he said .......

Sid : These are delicious .......

Sana : Huff....... I'm glad that's it's upto your liking.......

Sid : It's actually better than some of the restaurants I went to ......

Sana : Don't flatter me with these words ......

Sid : It's the truth baby ...... I can't help it .....

Sana : Hmm

Sid: Then let's talk about something else......

Sana : I was thinking of asking you something .....

Sid : Please do ......

Sana : Shouldn't we talk to your family ..... I mean they wanted to talk to me ......

Sid : Yeah ..... actually I was thinking about talking to them after dinner ........

Sana : I hope everything goes well .......

Sid : Everything will darling...... you don't have to be so tensed ......

Sana : I wish your words come true ......
