Recap: Myra get to know that the person who hit the guy for misbehaving her wasn't Krish. Later Keshav and Myra share their first romantic kiss.

******************

Keshav woke up to his alarm and his breathed hitched to see Myra sleeping with her head on his chest and her palm fisting his T shirt. He crushed her a little in his embrace and kissed her hairline.

Keshav Mv: I will wait for you to wake up. I want to see your reaction on seeing our sleeping position.

He waited patiently and suddenly Myra threw her leg over his thigh snuggling more into his chest. He groaned to his morning discomfort between his legs and Myra's leg on his thigh added fuel to his desire. He placed a pillow over his thigh to hide and tried to distract his mind. 

Myra woke up an an hour later and Keshav closed his eyes. Myra blushed on seeing their position and raised her head to look at Keshav. On seeing him sleeping, she admired his face and unable to resist, she traced her finger on his eyebrows and gently twisted his moustache.

Myra: What are you doing to me Ketchup ? 

Keshav: The same that you do to me butterfly.

Myra gasped and moved away from him but Keshav was quick to hold her careful to have a pillow between their lower body.

Myra: I thought you were sleeping. Let me go Ketchup.

Keshav: You don't have to stop yourself or wait for me to be asleep to do anything with me. You have all the rights over me little one. We may have not started as any loving couple but I m loving this advancements between us. Now turn around and let me see my butterfly's beautiful face. I have been waiting for the past one hour.

Myra turned around to him and Keshav pecked her forehead and temple.

Keshav: Good morning butterfly

Myra: Good morning Ketchup.

Keshav: I want to wake up seeing your face every morning little one. 

Myra felt the depth of his words and pecked his cheek. Keshav smiled and kissed her cheek in return. 

Keshav: I will get ready and you continue to sleep until then.

Myra hummed and Keshav got down facing the other side and pulled down the T shirt before he picked a towel to enter the washroom. When he walked out Myra was asleep and he got ready without disturbing her. Placing a kiss on her temple he left to the kitchen to cook breakfast. 

Krish entered the kitchen and called Keshav who was busy cooking.

Krish: Bro, can I have the keys to your car ? I will be back in 2 hours.

Keshav: Just a minute, let me transfer the breakfast to the casserole.

Keshav placed the dishes on the table and ambled to the room to get the keys. He opened the door and his eyes popped out to see Myra in a towel around her body. She was shocked to his sudden appearance and before they could react they heard foot steps close by their room.

Keshav realized Krish must have followed to get the keys and in an instant he pulled Myra close to him hiding her petite figure in his huge frame. Krish was beyond shock to see Keshav's back and though he couldn't see Myra, he knew they were in a close proximity. He mumbled a sorry and left from there. 

Keshav and Myra were looking at each other. He let go of her and quickly locked the door before he pulled her again to him. The water dripping from her hair and her visible bare skin ignited the fire in him yet he clenched his jaws that Krish could have seen her in that state.

Keshav: Why didn't you lock the door if you were dressing up in the room ?

Myra: I... I.. no.. I mean. I forgot to take my clothes and didn't realize that door was not locked. I m .. I m sorry.

Keshav: You are my wife little one and no one, I mean, no one get to see you like this. I will be the first and last to see you like this.

Myra nodded her head and gulped at his intense and angry gaze at her. She tried to leave but Keshav pulled her close with their bodies pressed against each other. Their voice got lost and anything they spoke came out as a mere whisper.

Myra: Are you angry ? I m sorry and I will be careful in the future.

Keshav: I can never be angry on you little one. Its just I want to hold you forever like this. 

Keshav leaned closer and her eyes shut on its own. He pecked her cheeks and licked the water that rolled down from her forehead. Myra moaned his name and curled her toes while her palm fisted on his shirt. Keshav saw her heaving chest and the slightest view of her clevage made him grunt in need. While his fingers pressed on her waist, Myra felt a rush in her hormones and with a stuttering voice she spoke with her eyes on the floor.

Myra: I ... I ne  need  to get dre   ... dressed ketchup.

Keshav: Don't..

Their whispers only heated the moment and his reply stunned her.

Keshav: Wait for me, I will be back in less than a minute.

He took steps back and picking up the keys he sprinted to the hall and passed the key to Krish.

Krish: I m sorry bro and I will be back in 2 hours.

Keshav: Take your time and breakfast in the hot box. Serve yourself.

He rushed back to the room without waiting for his reply. He opened the door and saw Myra standing by the bed with her toes curled and lips stuck between her lips. He locked the door and in fraction of a second he was before her.

Keshav: Myra...

Myra blushed hearing her name and she saw his eyes shamelessly roaming on bare upper chest. She pulled her hairs to her front and Keshav chuckled leaning to her ear.

Keshav: There is a mirror behind you.

Myra realized that her back was on display to him. Keshav cupped her face and kissed the corner of her lips.

Keshav: You haven't given your consent Myra.

Myra: Keshav

Keshav wound her arms around his neck and leaned closer as their lips met in a fervent kiss. When they broke the kiss their hairs were a mess and their lips were swollen.

Keshav: Just few more days left for our vacation and I think we will have lot of fun. Should I even call that a vacation anymore or honeymoon ?

Myra: I don't know. Shall I get dressed ? Amma has called and I have lot of work to do today.

Keshav: Tell me what it is. I will do the work and you may remain in this costume.

Myra: Have some shame ketchup. You are being so dirty and bold.

Keshav: We just started kissing and you are complaining me to be dirty ? 

She saw his naughty smirk and felt bold to react to him. Myra held his shirt to pull him closer and started biting his cheek. 

Keshav: Ouch butterfly, I didn't know you will be so wild. 

Myra punched him and tried to push him out of the room. He dashed his forehead with hers and left the room to let her get ready. Standing outside the room he touched his cheek smiling like maniac. 

Keshav Mv: I love the way you feel comfortable with me little one and all the progress in our relationship.

Myra locked the door this time and leaned on the door with her chest heaving. 

Myra: Damn he is a monster in kissing. It feels like the first time each time he kissed me. Damn Myra, you are one lucky girl to have him for yourself. If his kiss alone could burn your cells then what about other things ?

Myra huffed and shook her head to get rid of other thoughts. She got dressed quickly and reaching the hall she saw Keshav was on call. Looking at her he opened his arms and bobbed his head calling in for a hug and with a blush Myra crashed into him while he continued his call. 

He cut the call and pecked her temple and they started having breakfast.

Keshav: What work do you have today ?

Myra: Amma has called me to discard the unwanted things that I have kept for a long time. Most of them are from school time so I have called Naina so that we could have some fun looking at the memories.

Keshav: Have a good time then. I will leave for work and wait for me to get you when I m back. I don't want you to stay alone.

Keshav booked a cab and left for his work and Myra entered her mother's home. Vasundra and Rajan welcomed her with a smile.

Vasundra: You totally forgot about us is it ?

Myra: Typical mothers words. All the time you wanted your daughter to be with her husband and when I'm living that life, you complaint that I m forgetting you.

Vasundra: I was kidding Myu, I m so happy to see you and Keshav. Let no evil eyes cast on you both. Now let us start the work. A whole room is filled with your things and you better throw away the unwanted things or take them to your other home. 

They heard Naina's voice and the friends hugged each other. The three ladies reached the room and Myra growled to see a messy room. She pulled out the first box and saw books from college in it. She informed her father to sell it some old book shop. The next box had her old clothes and likewise she discarded half of the things.

Naina pointed to a huge box and they pulled it out to clear it first. Myra smiled to see the things she had used from school in it. There were many chart works and removing them one by one she found a beautiful cottage at the bottom of it. Slowly she pulled it out and placed it on the floor.

Vasundra: This was the project Krish made for your exhibition right ?

Myra: Yes, we went on a dinner and I slept that night but he made this for me.

She looked keenly at the cottage and a confusion surfaced on her face.

Myra rushed to the hall to get her mobile and quickly opened the pictures they had taken during their stay in Ooty. One of the pictures that Naina clicked was of Myra standing before the cottage and the cottage looked exactly like the miniature cottage of her science project. Naina too saw the photo and gasped in shock.

Myra: How could this be possible ? This definitely can't be a co incidence. 

Naina: Look at the swing, the gate, the wall design and the colors too match perfectly. 

Myra: Naina, I need to be home. Krish would have returned and I need to confront him.

She held the project in her hand and rushed to her home. Krish had returned and preparing lunch for himself. 

Myra: Krish

Krish turned to her voice and smiled at her.

Krish: Myra, you are home ? I thought you would have gone to work ? Anyway, I m cooking and we shall have lunch. I m not good in cooking so if you want anything special then I shall order for you. 

Myra: Did you do this project ?

Krish stopped his work and looked at the project in her hand. He turned his gaze away from her which gave the answer to her yet she waited for him speak out those words.

Krish: No

Myra: Who did this ?

Krish: Bro, he stayed awake the whole night and completed the project and placed it in my room before he went to sleep early in the morning.

Myra felt betrayed and was about to leave but stopped and spoke to him with a little hope in her voice for the sake of their years of friendship.

Myra: What about the other minor projects, chart works ?

Krish: I m very bad in those works so bro did my works too.

Myra felt disgusted and cursing herself she left leaving no room for discussion further. On reaching her mother's home she pulled Naina to her room and sat on the bed with tears in her eyes.

Naina: Myra, what did he say ?

Myra: Ketchup did this for me but I gave credits to Krish thinking he did this for me. Everything he said was lie and everything I assumed are turning out to be a lie. I m going crazy Naina and I m angry myself for having been so stupid.

Naina: Don't be Myra. It wasn't your fault that he lied to you. You treated him as your best friend but he only lied to you so just ignore him and focus on your husband and try to understand him. Now that you have been married for a month, you know him for atleast 20 years and I saw you guys kissing last night which I don't think happened in the heat of the moment. Do you think he is the one for you and wanted to give a chance to relationship ?

Myra: Yes, he doesn't leave any chance to make me feel special. Everyday is a new day and he shows a new side of himself to me and I feel I should a give a chance to our marriage but the truth is I m doing that already. Even I m a human and want a happily ever after in my life but will I be able to do that ? Am I being desperate by feeling so ? What if he doesn't see me in that context and what if I disappoint him ? I can't handle another heart break Naina. He holds my heart as if its made of glass yet I m scared.

Naina: Just follow your heart and it won't disappoint you or should I say your ketchup won't disappoint you. Trust him in the process and don't back off anytime from this life. Fight it and stop imagining yourself to be desperate. He is not a stranger Myra, he is your husband and you both have every right to live the life you deserve.

Myra: What you said is a fight between my mind and heart Naina.

Naina: Are you falling for him Myra ? Are you in love with him ? Please don't tell me its only a month to your marriage and love won't happen in that short while. If love at first sight is possible then love in a month is also possible.

Myra: I don't know and I don't want to give any name to what I m feeling for him Naina. I'm loving every moment of being with him and I wanted this forever in my life. Please lets not talk further.

Naina: Ok we shall not talk now but you can't run forever avoiding this topic and we will be talking about this one day.

Myra sighed in relief and smiled looking at the cottage beside her.

Myra: But how does the cottage look exactly the same ?

Naina: That you need to confront with either your husband or Rakesh sir but I would say your ketchup.

Myra bobbed her head and touched the cottage with a smile.
