Kavya's Pov:

Love! A word used by many but understood by a few. Nowadays People are causually falling in love, celebrating their relationships, confessing their undying love for each other and then breaking it off like anything.

Often we get confused as to what we are feeling is love or mere infatuation. Just like any other girl I also had this dream of falling in love and marrying the love of my life. Whose presence could give me jittery feelings and make me feel overwhelmed.

As a teen I have read countless fairy tales presenting the picture that no matter what happens there'll be a hero who will be my Prince Charming, who will save me from any harm or danger coming towards me. From Sleeping Beauty to Cinderella the focus of these tales have been that there is always a prince charming who will treat his woman like a queen and will always provide her all the luxuries of life. These tales since beginning have always depicted that every love story has a happy ending or Falling in love by yourself can give you the ultimate satisfaction as compared to arrange marriages probably.

Personally I don't know about any prince Charming or about a happy ending all I know is that in any relationship what matters is the trust, emotional and mental support the other person can provide you with. It doesn't matter if your partner is taking you out on fancy dates, bringing you gifts, taking you out and spending all his money on your needs, what matters is that was he or she able to pick your call when you were crying, was your partner there to notice if you are facing any discomfort or pain. Was your partner in a position to make you smile when you felt like screaming or crying. Well I don't know about other's but these are pretty good signals for me.

I smiled a little and shifted towards my right to see my husband sleeping soundly. Me and Viraj have been married for a year now and to say we would be madly in love with each other would be a little complicated because more than that we are cordial and have been good friends to each other. He may not be able to take me to crowded restaurants or movies but he always makes sure to check if I have eaten or not or I have reached to my workplace on time or not.

I saw the blanket lying off his shoulder, I chuckled and placed it again on him carefully. I sighed and decided to hurry up and prepare for our breakfast. I silently made my way towards the washroom to freshen up while leaving a last glance towards Viraj.

Viraj's Pov:

As any other Man, I wanted to enjoy my freedom and do all things which gave me ultimate satisfaction or boost my ego. However like all the other parents my parents also used to say to me when I was a kid that I would definitely change because of my partner and in my current situation I don't see that as a lie.

From being a spoilt brat I have turned in a lot more calm and a sensible person not only for my wife but for other's as well. There is a typical cliche that a man only changes for his beloved partner well that is true but a Gentleman changes for all because of his wife.

It's been around an year that I have been married to my wife, Kavya. Our marriage was arranged by our parents, unlike others we are pretty much fine with it.

For the first few months we took time in getting adjusted in each other's space, but with passing days we got settled and started embracing our flaws and appreciated our concerns for each other.

I sighed happily when I felt Kavya pulling the blanket over me, she knows that I have deliberately thrown off my blankets from my body but like always she still pulls them over me that left me feeling happy the entire day. I felt her moving away from me and then I heard the door closing indicating that she has went towards the washroom to freshen up.

I opened my eyes and saw the empty space where my wife was sleeping previously. It's a magical feeling when we find someone to love and wake up with that person, we forget about our previous loneliness. It has been the same with me from past one year my life with Kavya has made me forgot my previous encounters and past experiences which I never wanted to go through again.

I rubbed my forehead when I felt the sensation of exhaustion passing through my body. The entire night I was hurdled in my files and it was kavya who forced me to sleep. I stood up and went towards the window of our room and saw bright ray of sunlight falling on everyone. I wore my sleepers and went towards the jym which I have in my house, I started doing my morning exercises while listening to music. It was around 45 minutes later when I heard kavya calling me down for our breakfast.

"Give me just ten minutes, I'll be there." I said and hurriedly went to freshen up not wanting kavya to wait because of me.

It was approx ten minutes later when I was completely fresh and dressed. I sauntered towards our dining table and sat on it while looking at my wife.

"Let's start now." She whispered.

Kavya started serving me my food while I was looking at her with my usual expression which only hold admiration and love for her.

"I told you to not wait for me. You should always eat at time and not make your food cold because of me." I said.

"I have also told you to not always come and pick me from my school but do you listen? So why should I listen to you?" Kavya said making both of us chuckle.

"Viraj I had a thought in my mind from a very long time." Kavya said which made me give her my full attention. I nodded her to continue.

"Next week it will be my parent's death anniversary so can we please go to Mumbai for the rituals." Kavya said making me froze for a minute. Mumbai and Kavya both these thoughts had made my mind froze and the feeling of revenge was occuping my body but more than that the feeling of insecurity and losing kavya was powering my senses.

"Kavya but we can do those rituals here in Goa as well, why Mumbai? I mean don't mind me saying this but it's just you and me nobody else in our families than how does it matter where we do the rituals at the end of the day what matters is our respect towards our elders." I said trying to convince her but her one look was enough for me to understand her determination.

"Viraj please, I know what you are saying is correct but my parents used to live there, I used to live there with them, my house over there holds all my precious memories with my parents and we never know if we will ever again go to Mumbai or not, both of us have our jobs over here so please try and understand my view as well." Kavya pleaded which made me furious at myself.

She shouldn't really plead in front of me for doing what she wants to but this time I really can't allow the past to haunt us again. I can't!

"Kavya I am extremely sorry but I really can't go with you. I have an important meeting coming next week so I hope you understand my situation. Let's do the rituals here only. I'll be in my work space till then." I said hurriedly not allowing kavya to say something which might force me to change my mind.

I am sorry my love but I will not allow anybody take you away from me again.
