Chapter 16

not edited.

Eklavya as usual woke up at his normal routine time, 5:00 am. Workout and free running had always helped him relieve his stress, and therefore he had assigned workouts as his first task of the day. He was about to get up when he felt something on his chest. Looking down, he smiled softly. Aadhya's face was snuggled upon his chest and soft snores were occasionally coming out of her mouth. Her head was on his outstretched arm while his other arm was curved up at her waist. Aadhya's both hands were holding Eklavya as close as possible by his stomach. Eklavya tucked up a piece of her hair behind her hair, removing any obstacle that was preventing him from seeing her face. It was then that he noticed the light dusting of freckles on Aadhya's cheek or the small tiny mole on her left eyelid. He noticed that she had a small scar just below her hairline, making him frown in care. Hearing the small incoherent words coming from her lips that were parted in need of breath. Eklavya knew that there was no possible way now, that he could possibly untangle himself from his sleeping beauty and therefore, he sighed and held her tightly and more closely to himself and then slumbered off again to a peaceful sleep.

Aadhya had never slept on such a firm and warm bed before. She snuggled up further until she could feel someone's skin touching her forehead. She sighed softly until she suddenly opened her eyes just for them to meet with someone's chest. She was about to scream when suddenly her mouth was clamped shut. She fearfully looked up and saw none other than her husband looking down at her amusedly. She then remembered that she was now married and the chest she saw was none other than Eklavya's. Just this realization was enough for her long-lost blush to creep back on her cheeks and she slowly removed Eklavya's hand from her face. Eklavya bent his face down to her level and softly whispered "Good morning wife" and Aadhya embarrassingly mumbled out her reply. Suddenly remembering about the time, she checked the clock only to see that it was 9:00 am. She let out a small gasp and then started to untangle herself from her husband only to be pulled back into their original position, letting out a small "oomph" she glared up at Eklavya. Eklavya let out a chuckle which did nothing but causing her glare to deepen. "Where off to?" "Ved, it is my first day after marriage and I am already very late. Please leave me," saying so she pouted which was enough to melt him. He reluctantly left her and she fled off to the bathroom, silently thanking that she had already taken out the day's clothes on the previous day itself. Eklavya sighed seeing Aadhya's retreating figure and figuring out that it was best to take a shower himself, went off to another comfort room to have a bath himself.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(this is NOT Aadhya)

Aadhya had previously chosen a red organza saree for her first day at her new house. She had always dreamt of wearing red as a new Bride and therefore, this was already pre-decided a long time ago. Adorned with her dark henna-filled hands and bangles as well as with the mangalsutra dangling from her neck, Aadhya looked no less than a bride on her first day. The only problem she thought was her black sleeveless blouse. she wasn't sure if the blouse would be applicable for her in-laws. Nonetheless, she did her usual make-up routine which considered mascara, a thin line of eyeliner, and red lipstick matching her saree. She was about to fill up her hairline when she was stopped by none other than Eklavya. He took the Sindoor container from her hands and himself filled up her hair partition and proceeded to kiss her forehead.
