~WOUNDED VOWS~

Chapter-17

Jayveer's  POV

Today was an exhausting day. I
couldn't even pick Muskaan from her college. I completed my whole work today so that it won't disturb me tomorrow. Currently I'm entering in home. All lights are off but the light of the dining hall is on.

I went there and the view captured my heart. Muskaan, my wife is sleeping, putting her head on the table.

It's not new. In the past four months, whenever I came home late, She waited for me. How could I ignore this efforts of hers?

I took off my suit, placed it on the sofa, and went towards her.

I caressed her head gently.

"You came." She woke up by my touch.

"Why didn’t you sleep on your bed?"

She rubbed her eyes.
"I didn’t sleep. My  eyes were just shut down."

I chuckled internally.

"I heat the food for you. " saying that she went to the kitchen.

I settled down on my seat and she came with the food. She also sits beside me.

"Why didn’t you take dinner with all? "

"I was not hungry."

"You don't need to wait for me till night. Next time, Have your dinner and go to sleep"

"Ok. Then you also don't come to pick me up from my college."

Here she is. Who am I to negotiate with her?

"Ok. I'm surrendered. I can't win with my wife."

She gives me a little smile.

She put food on my plate, and then when she was about to put food on her plate, I stopped her.

"May I?"

She looked at me confusingly.

I took a morsel and fed her. When my fingers touched her soft lips, a shiver ran down my spine. Somehow, I controlled myself.

Then I feed her and myself too.

We went to our respective rooms.

My head is bursting in pain. Maybe sleep can help me.

The next month went with our normal routine.

We went out together in the morning. I picked up her from her college. Some days we had our lunch together. I thought I would take her on long drives. But after a tiring day, we both got tired. I enjoyed our silent company. We don't talk much, just share a few words. But now we are comfortable with each other's presence. And it's way to our normal relationship.

Today is Sunday. Both of us are free today and I've a dinner party tonight. I'm thinking of asking her to join me.

I knocked on her door. After a  few seconds, she opened the door.
"Ji."
(Yes)

"I've a dinner party tonight. If you don’t have any problem, Can you join me?"

"Ok."

I smiled.
"OK then. Get ready before 8."

She nodded.
"What should I wear?"

"Anything you comfortable with." Because you look beautiful in anything. Sometimes, she wore a cotton kurti at night; It also looked breathtaking on her. How can someone look pretty in everything?

It's close to 8.

I knocked on her door.

"One minute." I heard from opposite the room.
