************************************************************************************
The couple was in the kitchen. Anuj steeped some tea while Anu was making breakfast for the Kapadia household. The aroma of the tempering for the khandvi and spices in the masala chai filled the air. The spluttering of mustard and curry leaves synced with their hums, heartbeats and sighs as they gazed at each other in between. They would get lost in their own world, which was once just a dream but now is their reality, only to be disturbed by the cooker whistle. This was their daily routine now- cooking breakfast, eating, getting ready, packing lunch and going to work together.

Once the breakfast was ready to be relished, Anuj and Anu quickly went into their bedroom to dress up for the day.
He was buttoning up his blue shirt when Anu walked out of their bathroom in an anarkali suit. She was trying in vain to reach the dori of her outfit. Anuj saw her struggle and smirked mischievously. He swiftly moved closer to her, held her by her shoulder and made her turn, her back facing towards him. He swept her hair to the side and tied the dori as slowly as possible. He bent down to.......

"Ughhh!!!! Ab kaun hai yaar.....ek aadmi chain se romance bhi na kare! Hmpff" Anuj grunted.

Anu chuckled "Kapadiaji ! Phone baj raha, uthaiye ne....Mai kahi nai Jaa rhi...Yeh baad me khatm karte hai.....Suyash ka call hai...Koi zaroori kaam hoga."

Anuj was clearly displeased by this interruption. She was the centre of all his attention. This desire...want...love made her ecstatic. Anu was on top of the world. He was her everything and she was his.

He came back to the room once he was done with the call. Anuj looked unimpressed. Anu went up to Anuj, looped her arms around him and enquired about the call.

" Suyash bol raha hai ki humare naye project ke tender me koi issue hai..toh mujhe abhi nikalna padega." His voice lowered as he finished explaining the problem to Anupama.

"Pehle pata hota toh main lunch bana deti. Mujhe aaj dance academy bhi jaana hain..... Aap paanch minute rukhiye... Main phataphat kuch bana deti hoon." Anu said as she turned to leave the room.

Anuj stopped her and told her that she needn't worry and that he would take care of everything. He kissed her forehead, got into his laal pari, waved and left for work.

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

The office was buzzing. Everybody was running hither and thither, trying to get the job done. Anuj had just corrected the contract papers. His stomach was grumbling. He had to eat something now, so that he could keep going throughout the day.

Anuj walked into his cabin for some alone time. He sighed...a sigh of relief. He was able to breathe finally. Haaaash!!...only if his Anu was with him right now. He sat down in his chair, massaging his head and his eyes fell upon a brown paper bag on his table. It was from his favourite café. Anuj opened the bag to find a chikoo milkshake and a grilled sandwich. After he finished eating, he found a little note in the bag. It was written with a beautiful and elegant handwriting.

The note read,

"Hope this brought a smile on your face . Enjoy your lunch sweetheart! I love you now...I will love you always!!♡"

Anuj was appalled. He was confused. This was weird. Somebody was sending him lunch with anonymous love notes!! The incident clouded his mind the entire day. He knew that he would inform Anu about it. He wasn't worried about how he would tell her....he just hoped that such an occurrence doesn't rake up her old wounds and cause her panic attacks. He didn't want to hurt her or make her feel miserable.

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

Anuj entered the Kapadia mansion. It was quiet and peaceful. But it didn't feel like home until he saw his Anu.

He felt two strong but delicate hands embrace him from behind. Staying away from her, his Anu was the hardest part of his day. Now that she is with him, everything will be alright.

Anuj turned around and hugged her tightly. He whispered into her ears
"Anu mujhe kuch zaroori baat karni hai"

She nuzzled into his chest and mumbled "Do minute aur!"

"Ji mohtarma" he replied.

They finally sat down and Anuj explained what had happened in the office that day. Anu was listening intently without a single expression on her face.

She held his hand. Her eyes welled up.
Anu was speechless. Her past relationship had scarred her. These scars could only be healed by her soulmate....her husband...her Anuj.

He could have easily brushed this off and hidden it from her but he did not. He made it a point to tell her the entire story as soon as possible. This was so different...so beautiful...this was what she deserved...what every girl deserves- trust....respect... commitment.... communication.....love!!

Anuj wiped off her tears. She cleared her throat and said "Thank you mujhe sach batane ke liye. Par mujhe bhi aapse kuch kehna hai."

Her eyes had a mischievous glint in them now.

"Woh sandwich aur milkshake maine bheja tha. Aur woh note.................I had joined English classes a few months back. I just wanted to surprise you. I didn't mean to worry you at all. I am suri !" Anu exclaimed.

Anuj was astonished. He was tongue-tied. He pulled himself together and hugged Anu.

"I am so so proud of you Anu. This is amazing!! Ek baat kahun....sab kuch badal sakta hai, par tumhara 'suri' nahi badlega. Lekin maine yeh pehle notice kyun nahi kiya?" Anuj asked.

"Shhhhhhhh!! Yeh sab baad me, first let's finish what we had started." Anu said flirtatiously as she wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders.

She threaded her fingers through his hair, grabbing a few strands and pulling him towards herself. He bent down and placed soft kisses on her shoulder bone. His fingers were now well-versed in untying her dori. He ran his fingers up her back, making her shudder.

She strained her neck giving him easier access. He loved the way her collarbones cradled his lips....how his nose was addicted to her scent.

They painted their love all over their skin and whispered their love into their ears throughout the night...
