Walking through the kitchen preparing breakfast , Varahi was almost done. It was sunday and all the workers were on a happy sunday holiday as they called it.

Turning off the gas and transferring all the fried idli in the bowl , she walked out of the kitchen to Dining table.

Placing the bowl on the table , she started serving the idli to everyone, starting with her mother-in-law , Grandmother , and brother-in-law .

As she kept the bowl serving everyone she heard the voice, she always loved to hear.

"Good morning" Avyaan wished everyone , pulling the chair to sit. Wishing him back , everyone started to dig in their food.

Walking towards him she served idli on his plate while he scrolled through his phone.

Always on phone. 24/7.

She looked at him as he took the idli into his fork and directed it to his mouth , Varahi kept waiting for some reaction from his side to get nothing.

"Mom , when is dad returning" Avyaan said, bringing Varahi out of her own world.

"Day after tomorrow , most probably"
His mother - Ragini singhania replied.

"Bhai , What about The London deal?" Yuvaan - 2nd son of the Singhania's asked as he looked at Avyaan .

"It is scheduled for the next month"

"Duration?"

"Two weeks minimum"

"When?"

"second week I guess" Avyaan completed and Varahi's face fell.

Cleaning up the kitchen and having her breakfast , Varahi went to their room.

Entering inside she took her novel and moved to the balcony.

Winters have started and Varahi never had a very good relation with cold weather.
Yet she would always choose winters over summers.

But for her sake it was a sunny day.

Smiling, she opened her novel and began reading where she left it.

Reading novels gives you an absolute idea of what kind of partner you want.

What you want to do with them , for them and to them .

She totally agrees with the point that to some extent people tend to have some unrealistic expectations which often leads to disappointment in their relationships.

But , that's not the point always , sometimes it leads to something so beautiful which sets an example to others.

She doesn't want to be an example to others.
But she definitely had some expectations from her dear husband . His care , time and love....

"Varahi" She flinched as she heard her husband calling her with a slightly high voice.

"Where are you lost? I've called you like 5 times" He said with his eyes squinted due to sun rays and his dark brown eyes shining due to sunlight.

Those brown eyes.

"Uh- Sorry , I was just - um .. thinking something" She said as she looked down at her lap , she didn't read a word from her novel , all she was doing was thinking about her damn life.

"Can you find the file I kept yesterday on the table?" He said, looking straight into her eyes , without replying she nodded and passed by him , while he closed his eyes taking in her fragrance.

So addicting.

This is what they had - sharing a word or two related to finding him some of his stuff or about the family , most of the time nothing else and never them.

"Here" She said, passing him the file , nodding as he took the file and sat on the couch with his laptop as he started typing something on his laptop.

It was Sunday , she sometimes wondered how it would have been if their equation was something else.

A normal marriage. A normal relationship.

He was never much interested when it came to talking - to her , yet again she walked towards the couch and sat beside him.

"Are you busy?" She asked despite knowing that he was typing continuously on his laptop but she had to talk to him because she wanted to.

She always longed to talk to him. But they never really talked when they were alone.

Though they had a whole different equation for the world but damn , it hurts it really does.

"Hmm?" He hummed without sparing her a glance.

"Can we just talk for a while?" She said as she looked at him but without saying a word he continued typing , annoyance crept through her body,

"Avyaan " She said irritation all clear in her voice.

Sighing he looked at her with bored look , "What do you want to talk about , Varahi?"

She blinked her eyes as she sensed his bored tone , "Just some random things"

"I am literally having my files all over the table along with this laptop placed here. It indicates that I am busy, right?" He said and all she could feel was disappointment.

"Mean" Varahi said as she got up walking out of the room.
