" When will you be back? " I asked Kartik as I perfected his tie.

" I don't feel like going to work today. "

I touched his forehead, " Are you feeling sick? You don't seem to have fever. "

He shook his head, " I just don't feel like going. "

I looked at him amused, " what are you? 5 year old! "

He snaked his arm around my waist, pulling me closer. " No, a 28 year old wanting to spend the day in bed with his wife. " He grazed his hand along my neckline.

I slapped his hand, " Enough with that, You have an important meeting today. " he rolled his eyes.

" Also I won't be at home. So unless you wanna sit idle and talk to the walls.... " He interrupted me.

" You are going out?" I nodded. " I have a meeting with a new client, Mr. Tiwari in his office. "

" Are you going alone. " He sounded bothered.

" Kartik we decided on this.... "

" I know... But I'm still not okay with that. " He ruffled his hair.

I pecked his lips, " I'm going alone, but I'll be fine. Don't worry. Besides your Hulk man is following me 24/7. "

Kartik looked at me surprised, " Naira I... "

" I know your guards are following me for my safety. I understand your concern. " I Paused, " But all this only till the issue gets resolved. After that no one's gonna follow me. " I said firmly.

" Yes ma'am. " He intertwined our fingers and kissed my cheek.

Kartik's phone buzzed, making him groan in annoyance. I chuckled," You have to go. "

" Come home for dinner. " I said passing him the car keys. He nodded with a smile.

A minute passed and my husband just kept staring at me. I scanned his facial features longer than usual. " Aren't you leaving? "

" You should let go of my hand. " Kartik chuckled and I realised I was the one halting him. He mouthed a bye before walking out.

Something feels different today, I couldn't name it.

" Kartik " I called out. He paused to look at me turning around. I sucked in a breath as a playful smile lingered on his lips.

" Yeah, Baby "

I shook my head but I was already jogging toward him.

" Looks like Mrs. Oberoi wants her husband to stay. " I heard him say.

Yes.

" No Mr. Oberoi, you forgot something."

" I took my Keys, phone, wallet .... " The creases on his forehead faded when my lips met his for a quick yet deep kiss.

" Your kiss. " I winked at him.

" Aren't you becoming too naughty nowadays. " Kartik smirked.

" Maybe. " I shrugged with a grin.

Cupping my face in his big palms, he muttered.

" I'll be back soon, Wait for me. "

I nodded looking into his eyes. I wanted to say more but didn't know what.
I uttered nothing but a single syllable.

" Okay. "

Placing a kiss on my forehead, his hands left mine. I stood at the door watching his retreating figure.
