The air is crisp and refreshing, carrying the earthy scent of wet soil. Glistening raindrops cling to leaves and grass, creating a sparkling effect in the soft sunlight. The temperature is pleasantly cool, invigorating but not chilly, making it ideal for a stroll as nature comes alive with renewed vibrancy.

The couple finds a cozy spot, perhaps under the shelter of a tree. The rhythmic pitter-patter of raindrops lingers in the background as they engage in heartfelt conversations, the cool breeze enhancing the intimacy of the moment. Shared laughter and thoughtful exchanges create a warm ambiance, making the post-rain atmosphere the perfect backdrop for meaningful connection.

It was soon going to rain, but still something it seemed like something was stopping it. Nature has its own time.

Hriday was sitting by leaning his back on the tree's trunk while wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her towards himself. Her back collided with his chest and he put his chin on her shoulder getting cozy and more like cuddling with so much love. She smiled and lovingly attached her cheek to him maintaining their comfortable silence and just enjoying the moment.

No one can say they are a married couple. They both look more like a university couple who got freshly into a relationship than a married one. Today was the weekend, and it's been a week since Anju was discharged.

Everything was normal. Hriday tried to talk with her many times but whenever he tried she didn't take him seriously.

For once he also got into his arrogant mode but that too didn't work on her. He's never been so harsh or arrogant toward her, since they were in a relationship.

They were sitting in the same position for quite a long time. When his phone rang and he was not in the mood to pick it up, groaned. She hit him with her elbow and gestured for him to pick up the call, which he did at last.

On the other side of the call was his father,

Shekhar: "hriday, where are you both?"

Hriday: "Why? What happened, dad? Why are you sounding so irritated!"

Shekhar: "Get a hold of yourself, son! How can you find such a good wife who never disobeys you, who never goes against you, takes care of your family, and even works as your secretary for both companies at a time."

Shekhar was deliberately telling this to make his wife hear all this. Jankee glared at him like throwing daggers at him with her eyes. If looks would kill then he definitely will be dead by now.

On the other side, hriday laughed and Anjana blushed hearing her praise. She also glared at her husband whispering what was to laugh in this.

Hriday: "Dad, it's nothing like that. Every husband knows his wife better than anyone else. So I also know all your daughter-in-law's pros and cons, so let's just forget, anyways why did you call?"
