Vikram POV

After our reception I entered the room and there was Diya, in my room wearing white and looking like an angel. She was wearing an off white saree and her make up was minimal. My wife, my Diya does not need any make up, she has beautiful features and her pure heartedness makes it easier for people around her to fall in love with her. For a few minutes I was dumbstruck looking at her, I could not believe my luck that I got to marry her and she was my wife. After a while I was able to compose myself, looking at Diya's nervous face I realized that I had to make her comfortable.

I heard her talking to Aunty that day and the next day she was sick. That poor girl, took lot of stress about our relationship. First this sudden marraige and considering that I was a jerk to her in the beginning no wonder she thinks of me like I am a devil who captured the angel. Yes, the wedding was a plot by my father but she had to sacrifice her dreams and marry me while knowing that I was an older man with a kid who was mean to her. 

Knowing Diya, she would compromise all her dreams and may be she would even accept me because there isnt any option for her. I like her, I respect her and I do not want to take advantage of her goodness and pure heartedness even though she said that we can give it a try, just because it is her duty after marraige. I dont want to taint her anymore, knowing she has her own set of dreams, knowing she does not like me, I dont want her to give everything for this relationship, loosing herself and her dignity in the end. That is why I told her what she needs to hear, so that she gets relieved in the end.

I can hear her resting on my bed and gave a tired sigh, it was a pure torture for me indeed knowing that the women you are really attracted too, the women you like and in the process of falling in love is beside you in your room, but you cannot do anything other than give her the space she needs. Though, I let her be, her picture is captured in my mind, The picture of my saree clad wife, looking GORGEOUS made me smile. That picture is enough for me to feel happy, thinking about all our moments together, I fell asleep.


Diya POV

I woke up in the middle of the night to use the washroom, when I saw Vikram, sleeping on that uncomfortable couch, his pillow almost slipping off the couch, his blanket on the floor, I felt sad for him. He looked adorable, sleeping with a comfortable smile on his face. It was cold today so I draped his blanket over him and adjusted the pillow underneath his head properly. I could not stop myself now, I went close to him and laid a quick kiss on his forehead.

Me: I love you my dear husband

I was afraid, he might see me like this and hear my confession so I went away from him. After that I could not sleep properly so I went to check on Zyra. She looked cute sleeping, I had this desire to hug her and sleep, so I picked up her travel bag, dropped her diaper, milk bottle, wipes and her pacifier in it and put her in my arms, hanging the bag to my shoulder. 

I took my bundle of joy to my room and laid her beside me in the middle of the bed, I was there on one side but the other side is empty so, I put a lot of heavy pillows around her to restrain her from, moving and falling off the bed. I laid a few soft blankets on top of the carpeted floor, just in case she is able to move the pillow walls and slip off the bed. The height from the bed to the floor was not that much, just to reduce the effect of the fall, the soft bedsheets could help hopefully. After seeing that I could do everything I could I pulled her towards my chest, laying my hand around her, finally taking in that familiar baby smell, I fell asleep.

Vikram POV

I woke up early in the morning at my usual time, I looked to my side and saw that Diya was not alone on the bed, a small figure was resting on Diya's chest drooling and holding the front of her saree as her life depended on it. Diya's face was rested on top of Zyra, breathing in her scent. Right now, at this very moment I knew that though my father arranged all this for his own selfish motives, though Diya married me because of the respect she has on my dad, in the end it had made me a happy man. It has given me a family to adore and love. It had made my house a home.
