The fourth day of their marriage dawned with an unsettling stillness, and the Rathore mansion's grandeur muted by the oppressive silence.

She gazed at her reflection, her hands adorned with intricate henna designs, a symbol of her new status as a newlywed. However, the baggy t-shirt and disheveled hair made her appear like she had just rolled out of bed, which wasn't far from the truth.

"Mishika..." The loud voice shattered the silence, jolting her out of her reverie. She was all too familiar with the deep, commanding tone that sent a shiver down her spine - it belonged to her husband, the man whom the world knew as Ekansh Rathore, but for her he was Ansh.

She hastily descended the stairs, her feet barely touching the ground, and rushed into the kitchen, as if summoned by an unseen force.

As she entered the kitchen, her husband's eyes lifted from his phone, locking onto hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. Mishika stood frozen, her shoulders tense, her mind racing with a mix of emotions - a jumbled mess of love, anxiety, and uncertainty.

Past

Ekansh, a 35-year-old doctor, owned a hospital called 'Live Healthy Hospital', a testament to his success as both a medical professional and businessman.

Ekansh, the eldest son, felt the weight of his family's expectations like a constant hum in the background. His parents' pleas to settle down echoed through his mind, but he was too enthralled by his career to heed the call. Long hours, endless cups of coffee, and the thrill of saving lives consumed him. Meanwhile, his parents, tired of waiting for him to come around, turned their attention to his younger brother, Arnav, and arranged his marriage, quieting the whispers of disapproving relatives and nosy neighbors.

Ekansh's parents had almost lost hope of their eldest son ever settling down. His career had always been his top priority, and marriage seemed like a distant second. But after years of persuasion, Ekansh finally relented, agreeing to tie the knot at 30. It was a moment of triumph for his parents, who had tirelessly worked to maintain the family's reputation. They had already secured a high-society engagement for their youngest son, Aditya with aditi.
Ekansh's decision brought them a sense of relief . For Ekansh, it marked a new chapter in his life, one where he could finally balance his personal and professional life.

The Rathore family had never struggled to find a suitable match for their sons. Ekansh, with his chiseled features, tall stature, and fit physique, was the epitome of a desirable groom. His success and wealth only added to his allure. As a health-conscious doctor, Ekansh prioritized fitness, and his daily workouts were a testament to his dedication.

When his mother began the search for his ideal bride, Ekansh's eyes landed on a particular photo that caught his attention. The bio data read:

Name : Mishika raina
Age: 24
Dob: 2 January, 1997
Education: Graduate
Father: jaydeep raina
Mother: rita raina
Siblings : piyush raina ( younger)

After thinking for a day or two, he told his mother to arrange a meeting with girl's family.

That was his first step. When he saw Mishika the very first time, he found her cute. With her 5'2 height .she was a bit chubby. Her round face makes her look cute.

On their first meeting they just talked for 10 min. In that 10 min few things were clear. Like Mishika was open minded girl. She didn't like people around her decide what to wear and how to behave .

On the other side ekansh being a educated doctor had no problem with her nature. Infact he wanted her wife to be independent. He knew that mishika was not an independent working women nor was she a doctor  but something inside him made him say yes. He was capitivated by this stranger.

For Mishika, it was something that was previously fixed. Because she knew that she has to get married at some point. She found ekansh as a supportive and broad minded partner.

There marriage was a rush. 6 month after there first meeting they got bounded together
MARRIED

In those 6 month they talked like friends. They talked about their hobbies . Though mishika knew that ekansh was a busy man. There conversations were short. This fact sometimes made her upset but she didn't complain . She didn't wanted to sound like a immature girl.

On their first night, ekansh slipped a beautiful diamong ring on her ring finger. He kissed her hands and saw her getting uncomfortable. He told mishika that he won't take it further, he wanted her to become comfortable first.

Conversations between them were normal and short. As they just got married...relatives keep visiting them . Days were busy and nights were full of sleep .


Present

"Yeah..??" she spoke softly asking him reason he called her for.

"I am going to hospital . Maa and dad went to visit a relative ...i guess you know right?"

"Yes"

"I just called you to inform that i am going . I will be back before evening. Call me if you need anything ". He was speaking looking at her . His height was towering her little form.

"Ok" thats it. Just one word. Ekansh was a observer. He once heard his mom saying that mishika is always silent. That was true. Mishika never speaks much. She only opens her mouth when was asked question.

Her answers were limited to words and sometimes if fortunate enough then in sentence.

Once mishika told him during their chatting " my mom calls me living dead body. I don't speak much in person. When mumma and me are alone in house she gets bored"

True to her words . She actually was a quiet person.

Ekansh was driving his car and was thinking about his wife

His wife these words were foreign to his tongue. But somehow they bought a small smile on his face. Mishika had chubby cheeks which one can notice when she smiles.
Her hair were thin which reach down to her waist.

He still remembers the day when he saw her first time in saree.
Her curves were prominent.
Her eyes were small and deep , black in color. Her skin, fair. And cheeks red.

Every time he used to look at her...her eyes were wandering here and there as if she wants to ignore him. She was shy. The red shade of her cheeks was a evident of his effect on her

Undoubtedly, HE WAS ATTRACTED TO HIS WIFE....
