Sidharth looked at her lovingly in the makeup room. He controlled his desire to kiss her lips, the first kiss with his wife. As he knew that it wasn't the right place to do so.

Sidharth: Sana, lets go!!

Sana: But where would we go since we cannot go to both our houses?

Sidharth: We are going to my friend's farm house for some days. Let our mothers learn their lesson.

Sana: I am feeling pity for them.

Sidharth: Don't be. We need our lone time, we are going to start our journey which we delayed because of them.

Sana: (sad pout) Okay!

He playfully and subtly punches her face, holds her hand, picks up their bags and slowly makes his way out from the back door.

As they were escaping they find Shantiben and Radha together, standing outside the venue searching for them. There was a huge crowd of people who were waiting for Sana to take her autograph. Sidharth and Sana duck their head and tip toe hiding behind the cars and go towards their car. They sneakily get into the car and drive away.

Sana: Amma and Maa are together that means they are now in one team. I think we should go home.

Sidharth: They are there for each other so you should concentrate on me right now rather than them.

He holds her hand in his left hand while the other maneuvers the steering. He kisses the back of her hand and she blushes forgetting all the tensions.

Sana: What are we going to do at the farm house for so many days?

Sidharth: Live our life and Love our love! You saw the crowd outside the auditorium, right? (She nods) You are a celebrity now and we might not get time to do this in future.

Sana: I wish you too find success in your movie.

Sidharth: I don't want to excel in acting career. I want to be known for my writing.

Sana: Don't feel offended but how many people knows the film writer by name? The successful movies are always known after its actors, director, singers and production houses. Though the movie is brain child of the writer, he doesn't get the credit.

Sidharth: True, but I really don't want to be an actor.

Sana: I am not talking about acting though you are really very brilliant at it. I was talking about writing novels which has its own base and where no one can take away your credit and you will be rightly appreciated.

Sidharth: Hmmm.. I hated it when Tolaramani changed my original story. I had to agree for his crappy story only to pay of the credit and earn money.

Sana: Sometimes we know the destination - where we have to go but we just need to choose the right path that leads to it. Probably the route you chose needs to be changed to reach your destination.

Sidharth: Wow!! My wife is so smart. I will surely think about this when we return back home. Right now, I only want to concentrate on you and we are about to reach our destination.

Sana put her head down feeling too shy on getting so much praises from her husband. She never thought that somebody will ever praise her. All she was habituated of was bullying and body shaming. With every flirty talk by her husband, she got goosebumps.

He pulls the car and they both get out of the car with their luggage. She looks at the beautiful surrounding of the farm house which was situated in the remote and pristine location away from the city.

A watchman salutes them.

Watchman: Hello Shaabji, hello Memsaab, Aditya sir had informed me that you will be coming to stay here for few days. I have got the bungalow cleaned by our servant. He stays close to this location in the village and would visit with food. If you need anything you can let me know. I stay there in the servant's quarter. Here are the keys to the bungalow.

Sidharth: Thank you. Your name?

Watchman: Bahadur.

Sidharth: Nice name and nice place Bahadur. Thank you very much. (Gives him Rs. 500 tip)

Bahadur: (happily) Thank you Shaabji. (Salutes)

Sidharth: (To Sana) Come Sana.

They go towards the door and he opens it. The interiors were as beautiful as the exteriors. Sana looks around in amazement.

Sana: This is sooo beautiful. We should also buy a bungalow like this one day in such a peaceful and enchanted location.

Sidharth: For sure, we need to detox our mind as we detox our body every now and then.

Sana: Hmmm...

They go around familiarising the house to learn what's where.

Sidharth: Hmmm.. Kitchen.. That's study.. and that I think is the bedroom.. wow! There are three bedrooms.. which one do you think we should stay in..

Sana had a shiver run through her whole body. Though they were married for 5 months, today was the first time they would stay together in one room.

Sana: (nervously) Anything..

Sidharth: Right, we can change later as well, if we want. Let's select this one. This looks a bit spacious.

Sana nods as she pulls her trolley bag inside the room and parks it in the corner. She shivered when she felt his hands hugging her from the back. He nuzzled his nose in the crook of her neck giving rise to her heartbeats.

Sidharth: Finally, we got our lone time without anyone around to disturb us. (Kisses her neck) I love you my wifey.

Though Sana had confessed her love earlier today, words simply won't come out of her mouth now due to nervousness.

Sana: I.. I.. I was thinking.. of.. of.. taking a shower first.. I had been sweating.. on the stage.

Sidharth: (smiled) Sure sweetheart, do you want me to help you? (In husky voice)

Sana: Huh? (She gulped) N.. No..

She quickly unzipped the bag and pulled out a random cloth and went inside the washroom. She sighed with a smile and a blush reminiscing his flirty words.

As she got undressed to take shower, she looked at her naked body in the mirror. Her big melon like twins hung down due to heavy weight, the abdomen bulged out and though she had curves but they were all out of proportion. There were tyres popping out near her waist. She imagined him looking at her in this state and felt extremely mortified and disgusted of herself. A little sex education she had via internet or few magazines showed a girl who had a perfectly carved figure.

How I hate myself for this? He is waiting outside to get intimate with his wife. He must be expecting a lot from me to fulfill his sexual desires and all he is going to get is a big disappointment. How do I face him when I am unable to face myself in the mirror? His perfectly chiseled body goes unhidden even with those clothes. He looks not less than a Greek God and I look like a Road Roller.

Tears rolled out of her eyes as she stood under the shower. Tears which got diluted in the water.

Huh!! You showed him all the attitude to accept his proposal while he continuously begged you to consider the marriage not realising that after he sees you in this position, he would curse his fate to have married you and accepted you. Can this earth split in two halves and I disappear in it rather than showing him this body? Now I understand why people doesn't want to marry a fat girl like me. I am nothing but a big disappointment.

She wiped her wet body and looked at herself in the mirror again as she dressed up.

How do I go out infront of him? I can't let him see myself without my coverings. He will hate me and might leave me. How do I survive without him, now that I realize how much I love him? Amma, was right he has made a great favour on me by accepting me but this is all what I got to give him after all this.

She flinched out of her place when she heard a knock on the door.
