Meera's PoV

"Where did you go, Meera? I have been waiting for half an hour. But you were not at home? I called you multiple times but you didn't even pick it up. Just now I am planning to reach your shop. But you came. " he muttered.

" Arjun, I am exhausted I need to rest. Can we continue this conversation tomorrow" I asked tiredly.

'' Meera are you okay? Right? Why do I have the feeling something is not right? " Arjun asked.

" Nothing" I replied curtly. I know my behaviour upset him. But now in this situation, I may dump my overwhelming emotions on him. It might cause serious trouble.

I smiled at him and entered into the house. He leaves for his house which is opposite to us. He looks tired. I think the case he is investigating makes him exhausted.

The very next day, Arjun came to my house. He makes his way into the kitchen it's the first time he is entering my house. He wears a grey T-shirt and black knee-length shorts. He took the vessel and boiled the milk.

"Arjun what are you doing!? "

" patha teriala, tea podurae"( Don't you see what am doing? I am preparing tea)

" Arjun velayadada" ( Arjun I am serious).

He does his work without minding me. He then poured the tea in two mugs walked to the terrace and placed it on the table.
Sitting on the couch and began drink tea,
"Arjun I am standing here. Nee ena kandukama nee pattukum inga utkandu tea kudikira" ( But you are enjoying the tea without minding me). I asked him exasperatedly

" Mom called me and said she is okay with the marriage"

" Arjun na nee ena panitu itruka nu keta. Nee amma etho marriage-

" unmaiya Arjun" ( " really Arjun")

"of course, now will you appreciate my tea? Or are you going to stand there? " he said happily

" but your parents-"
"It's for another time Meera," he said.

"Tomorrow we are getting married," he said.
Before I reply he placed a chaste kiss on my forehead making my heartbeat rise.

"unaku istama? illaya ?"( "Is it yes? Or no? ") he asked in a low voice. His breath fanning my face.
With this proximity, I didn't remember what he was asking.

moochuvidu Meera" ("Just breathe Meera") he said huskily.

I didn't know that I was holding my breath until he told me.

I nodded at him. He chuckled at my cluelessness.

" Meera you look so cute", he ruffled my hair.

"ipo sollu istama?  Illaya?  He muttered

"mmm," I replied.

"hmm na, na ena eduthukurathu" he asked teasingly. ( "hmm means what? What's your answer? ")

" istam" (yes) I replied.

" en mela istama? " ( do you like me?  Like that) he began his teasing.

"Arjun," with that  I beat him on his biceps.

" ah ah Meera, venam valikuthu" he whined
(ah ah Meera , don't beat me it's paining )

I smiled at him and rested my head on his shoulders.

His eyes sparkled under the rising sun. We were drinking tea while watching the beautiful view and one thing on my wish list happened with my favourite person.
