Its half past nine and Surbhi is already asleep.There is knock on the door. Arman is standing at the door step.

"Bhai,can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Ya sure ,come in." Saurabh invited him .

"Bhai,I have an important meeting tonight with investors.I want you to come with me to boost my morale. If you will be there , I'll give my best."

"Arman ,I want to come but...

"Bhai, don't worry about Bhabhi.Priya will watch her and if anything happens,she will call us."

"Yes Bhai , I'll do that."Priya jumped from nowhere."please go "she insisted and Saurabh nodded. Arman and Priya left hurriedly. He went to dress up.

"Take care of her "he instructed to Priya before leaving.

"I'll"Priya assured.

They drove to Barbeque Nation and sat at side table. The place is jam-packed as it's weekend and hot favourite among lovers of grilled food. Saurabh used to come here every month with Arman.

"Where is clients Arman?"

"It will take some time to them. We can start till they came."

"Are you sure?"

"Hundred percent"

Chef start grilling chicken for them.He placed it in their Saurabh took first bite and his eyes got closed automatically. The food is delicious and brought nostalgia. He hadn't ate it in long time.

"That's why I bought you here." His sentence bring the realisation to Saurabh. "You are lost out since Bhabhi came back..

"You think, I am crazy to bring her back."

"No Bhai ,I don't mean that."

"Everybody is making assumptions about me and her. If you think, I pity on her and brought her back then that's not true. When she left,I lost my sound sleep. There was anxious and restlessness in my heart. I was aimless and don't know where I want to go but...She brought peace with her. Her presence or absence makes the difference for me. Her presence keep me at ease. I can't named my feelings for her but I know one thing,I can't bear another seperation. I know she is terminally ill and there is lots of issues. You can give me thousands reason of ' this will not work out but...my mind always says it does. There is time when I can't push myself any more ,I came to her and forget everything."Saurabh goes on without realising time. Its suffocating his heart and he vent out everything.

"I am not judging you for this,Bhai, trust me ."Arman put his hand on his hand ."Our concern is your lack of interest in most of things. You stopped having fun. If you want to stay with Bhabhi ,it's your decision but don't stop visiting us. Its been long time we haven't hang out together.we miss you. Be yourself, don't loose yourself and allow us to help you and Bhabhi."Arman said.His words were filled with conviction and sincerity. Saurabh was his roll model from long time,he can't let him crumble just like this.

"I'll keep it in mind."Saurabh said and Arman hugged him.

"Thank you so much Bhai. Its just matter of time, everything will be alright one day."Arman assured him.

They returned from BBQ nation around 1:30. He changed into sweat pants and came to bed. Surbhi is sleeping on her stomach and face is hiding in the pillow. She usually prefer to lay her head on his chest and clutch him tightly while sleeping. He lay beside her, put his hand on her waist and pulled her towards him. He put his chin on crook of her neck.

"Mai na tujhe bahut pasand karta hun bas kabhi kah nahi pata .( I love you so much , only problem I have is, that I never able to express myself.)"

He intertwined her hand with his and kissed back of her palm.

"mujhe tere sharir ki bhookh nahi hai.mai pyar karta hun tujhse ( I am not lusting over your body. I love you,I really do) I don't know why it's so difficult for everyone to understand. For me its easiest thing in the world."he blabbar so many things which other one doesn't hear. He hasn't realised when he fell asleep.

*******

"Surbhi keep your head still " Saurabh instructed Surbhi who is moving her head to sides. He is trying to fix her hairs and she is not co operating.

"Husband,how much?"

" It will take some more time." he fixed her hairs by u shaped pin.

"Husband...

"Just two minutes,let me fix flowers in your bun."he said and gave her some flowers to experience the fragrance of it.

"Now look yourself in mirror"he said and their eyes met in mirror. She wore a red coloured Lahanga choli with a chiffon dupatta which is covering her bossom.She don't like jewellery so there is only a golden chain in her neck. "you are looking so beautiful, aren't you?" he asked.

"I do"she kept staring her flash in mirror. Its astonishing for her to look like this. Most of the time she wear cotton dresses and looking nice is not priority. She stood on her place and move few steps.She turned and there is circular & spiral movements on skirt which caught her eyes. She twirled again and amused with the movement afterwards.

"Husband"she showed him with great enthusiasm. She twirl clockwise, anti clockwise and the pattern in skirt is enough to entertain her. There is huge grin present on his face. He is waiting patiently for her near table with a knife in hand . There is a red velvet cake placed on table which is needed to be cut.

"Cake"she escalate and ran towards table.

He holds her hand and cut the cake.

"Happy anniversary, sweetheart" he feed her the cake and there is questions in her eyes.

"Today was the date when we got married. Our marriage took place with great fervor and happiness."

"Marriage?"

"Its the ceremony which bond us together for life. Come I'll show you pictures."he took her hand and decided to open the pages of past.
