Brewing the essence of love

Chapter 59

Koyal's POV

"I defiantly do believe you are here darling. Welcome back." Vardhaan said and kissed my cheek. When I first saw Vardhaan today after over a year I felt so different. I don't know how to describe that feeling in words. Its like I was too happy to see him and at the same time I was too nervous seeing him. When he looked at me in disbelieve, it was one of the cutest sight I ever saw.

I don't know what came over me I suddenly felt this very strong undeniable urge to kiss him on his cheek and pull those adorable cheeks. I felt like controlling myself f but then again the thought that he is my legally wedded husband of four and half years crossed my mind all of that tiny bits of hesitation flew away.

I ran to embrace him and then I kissed him. It felt so good and wholesome but not enough, so I kissed his other cheek, and then I kissed his forehead. "Do you still believe I am not here?" I questioned him, and I don't know what type of answer was I expecting, but the one I got was a satisfying one.

The moment I felt his lips on my cheeks, my heart skipped a bit, all of a sudden I didn't feel that bold, instead I felt too shy, at this moment I wanted to do nothing but to stay in his arms, hidden from the world and its worries.

I don't know, how much time did we stay in each other's embrace but after a while I heard him say, "I am so happy to have you back, here with me." "I also feel very happy and content to be here, with you." I confessed, still in his arms. I just did not want to go out of his warm embrace, so I never tried to, and Vardhaan also seemed to enjoy having me in his embrace as he made no attempt to let me go, not that I wanted him to do that.

After our little moment, we settled down at table and ordered our lunch. "Thank god! You are not in corporate." I heard him say. Excuse me what does that mean? I ask him the same thing. "Oh I didn't mean it in an offending way. It's just that had you been in corporate and looked this pretty every day while going to work, I would always had to worry about you." He said.

I know he is complementing me, but what is he trying to imply. I voice these thoughts to him. "It just that, umm I don't know I guess I can't put it into words." He answered. Okay let's just change this topic, he looks embraced. "Okay leave that may I know why do you generally have your lunch this late? I asked Alok and he said it's mostly after 2 or 3 pm?" I asked him, in a stern manner. He really needs to improve his food timing, eating at such improper time is not good for his health.

"That I get busy in work so I don't get the time. But I do eat healthy whenever I eat." He replied to me. "I know you eat healthy Vardhaan but still having meals at proper timing is necessary." I explain to him. "Okay got it doc, will try from now onwards." He said, and I knew he would try because his voice held so much sincerity.

We had our lunch and then we decided to head back to home. "Where do you want to go, to our house in the society or to the apartment I stay right now?" he asked. I really like the house I had stayed last time but that house just feels too big for just two people, but again I really like that place. I know the whole neighborhood, that area and everything. Plus that house has so many memories of mine and Vardhaan's firsts. I don't know where to go.

Sensing my inner confusion Vardhaan spoke, "we can stay here, near my office for a few days then go there. I usually don't stay there as its too big for one person to stay and manage, so its locked since a year. I will ask someone to get it cleaned in the meantime. What do you say?"

"This sounds good." I say. The ride was peaceful and quite but I don't want ot stay quiet I want to speak. I want talk to him. I have internally yearning to talk to Vardhaan. I know I talked to him everyday but there is just so much difference in talking on a video call and in person. The natural light reflecting from him, and coming to my eyes. It creates so much difference. I want to speak so I do, when we stop at a signal.
