Unexpectly Yours:The Journey Of An Arranged Marriage

PART 26

[Kavya arrives home after a long day at work. The apartment is quiet, and she looks around, a touch of loneliness in her eyes. She drops her keys on the table and heads to the kitchen to prepare a quick meal. She's clearly tired but tries to stay positive.]

Kavya (muttering to herself): "Maybe I can catch up on some reading while dinner cooks..."

[Abhay is at a shoot, and his phone buzzes with messages from his manager. He's trying to focus but looks at his phone periodically, feeling a pang of guilt for not being at home.]

Abhay (to his manager): "I know, I know. Just need to finish this shoot. I promise I'll call Kavya after."

[As the shoot wraps up, Abhay checks the time and realizes he's missed yet another call from Kavya. He quickly dials her number.]

Abhay (on the phone): "Hey, Kavya. Sorry I'm late. The shoot went longer than expected."

Kavya (sighing): "It's okay. I was just finishing up dinner. How was your day?"

Abhay: "Busy as always. How about yours?"

Kavya: "Just the usual. Long hours at work. I miss having time with you."

Abhay: "I miss it too. Let's try to figure out a way to make this work. I hate that we're barely seeing each other."

Kavya: "I know. It's just hard with both of us having such demanding schedules."

Abhay: "How about we set aside a specific day each week just for us? No work, no distractions."

Kavya: "That sounds good. I'd like that."

[The couple decides to dedicate their weekends to spending quality time together. They plan a special day out, starting with a brunch at their favorite café.]

Abhay (smiling as he looks at Kavya): "This is nice. I feel like we haven't had a moment like this in ages."

Kavya (grinning back): "Agreed. I've missed this. It's good to catch up."

[They enjoy a relaxed brunch, laughing and talking about everything from their work to their future plans. Afterward, they take a stroll through a park, holding hands and simply enjoying each other's company.]

Kavya: "Remember when we first met? It feels like such a different time now."

Abhay: "Yeah, it does. But I'm glad we're figuring things out together."

Kavya: "Me too. It's not always easy, but we're making it work."

[They continue walking, soaking in the quiet and the warmth of their togetherness. It's clear that despite the challenges, their connection remains strong.]

[As they return home, they are greeted by the comforting familiarity of their apartment. They've started to decorate a bit more, adding personal touches that make the place feel like their own.]

Abhay (looking around): "I think we're getting the hang of this living together thing."

Kavya (nodding): "Definitely. It's a work in progress, but it feels more like home now."

Abhay: "I'm really glad we have these moments. It makes everything feel right."

Kavya (smiling up at him): "Me too. Here's to more of these weekends."

Abhay: "Here's to us finding our way, one step at a time."

[They settle into their evening routine, feeling a renewed sense of connection and understanding. Despite the challenges, they are committed to making their marriage work and cherishing the time they have together.]
