❝Pioneering the art of constructing love, my Kanmani.❞

❝You don't dare!❞
And he kissed her.

"Jal hi jeevan hai!" Mukesh exclaimed after drinking two glasses of cold water, claiming that water was indeed the elixir of life. "It doesn't feel like December in Chennai."
"It either floods the roads or the body." Xavier let out a small laugh. "Too humid."
"Yes, I am perspiring like a nervous maniac," Sonali huffed. "Talking about nervousness, your fiancé is living with you, right?"
Mukesh chuckled. "You are determined to know about the things that shouldn't concern you."
"Everything about my son worries me," she muttered. "I have seen what he has—"
"She doesn't live here," Xavier interjected, holding Dhriti as she devoured her KitKat. "Once in a while, she does stay here," he replied, and after a pause, he carefully added, "She's here today, taking a shower as we speak."
"Uh hun... I see..." she pressed her lips tight. "Good to know."
Samiksha yawned. "I had a long surgery to attend yesterday. Too tired for your nonsense, Aai." She turned to Xavier. "I just came to drop these two here... Deva! I want to sleep," she declared. "Once Krithika's done bathing, let me know." She lied flat on the sofa, laying her head on Xavier's lap and stretching her legs. "I'll sleep in the guest room."
Dhriti kept patting her mother's head, pulling her long hair and forming a cobweb. Xavier untangled Samiksha's hair from the toddler's tiny fingers. He blushed as he licked his lips. "Err... You can go and comfortably sleep there. Krithika is not occupying the guest room."
"Kaay?"
Sonali chortled. "Mother of a child, and you are still unaware of how things work between a man and his woman. What kind of love marriage did you have?" She pulled Dhriti from Xavier's lap and started showing her the books that she liked out of Xavier's uninteresting dump.
Xavier winced, his left hand covering his face as he tried to hide himself from his Aai's jibes.
"Oh..." Samiksha's cheeks turned pink. "I assumed her to—"
"Your presumptions are better off in hospitals," Sonali cut in and stood straight, carrying Dhriti on her hip. "Shall we take a tour? I want to see how much capital my son has invested in this house."
Samiksha huffed and pushed herself to sit back. "I want to sleep!" she almost yelled.
Xavier motioned her to go to the guest room, and she hurried without giving a glance back to them.
"You don't have to act like an Economics teacher here, Sona," Mukesh sighed. "That role is defined only for the schools in Gondia."
