"Don't touch me" Anushka hissed at him.
"I won't, lay down. You need rest" he said.
"What did you call me, 'Anu'?" She asked suspiciously.
"Look Anushka, I don't want to keep you in darkness" Virat said , dragging the chair and sitting beside her be...

After 3 months
They returned to Australia after Ved's first grade was completed. They decided to admit him as a day- scholar in Sydney. There was a school nearby their house, which made it easier for him to commute.
Anushka was also home most of the time, as her work didn't extend overnight. Virat had a little break in his career as they were preparing for the upcoming World Cup which was going to take place in Australia. The CA (Cricket Australia) gave him rest for one series before he went afresh into the world cup .
It was a sunny afternoon in Sydney, and the warm, golden light filtered through the windows of their cozy home. The soft murmur of a cricket game on TV played in the background as the three sat together on the long couch.
It was a rare moment of peace in Virat and Anushka's busy lives. The fresh scent of tea filled the air as Virat poured a cup for Anushka, his movements careful and deliberate as he handled the hot tea.

"Thank you," she said with a smile, her voice soft and serene.
Virat returned the smile, placing the teapot down gently. Ved was seated beside his mother, sipping his glass of juice, his legs swinging down the couch as he watched the game on TV.
Anushka looked across at Virat, her eyes sparkling with happiness, and he smiled at her, knowing there was a glow about her today that was hard to miss.
"Kya hua? Aaj alag hi chamak rahi ho" Virat flirted with a low voice so that Ved doesn't notice.
"stop it, Virat. I'm just tired, and without anymore drama, tell me what you want?" She rolled her eyes at him, but a blush crept across her cheeks
"Tired?" Virat echoed dramatically. "How can someone look this good when they're tired? Seriously, I should be the one glowing from all the rest I'm getting. Meanwhile, you're doing all the hard work." He grinned, lightly brushing his hand along her arm.
"I mean, just look at you. You're breathtaking." He continued his praises. Anushka laughed softly, clearly enjoying his teasing, but she tried to hide it.
"You want something for dinner, don't you? " She furrowed her eyebrows at him .
Virat feigned offense, placing a hand over his heart. "What? Me? Manipulative? I would never!" he said with exaggerated innocence.
Then, lowering his voice, he leaned in and whispered near her ear, "But if it gets me a kiss, I might keep going."
"Meine bola tha na..You wanted something" she said excitedly as he proved her point.
"That's not a want, that's a need" he muttered.
"Oh? You think you can sweet-talk your way into everything?" Anushka turned her head to look at him, her eyes narrowing playfully.
