The parking lot is empty by the time I enter inside the building. Parking my bike on my spot as usual I remove my helmet from my head.

A prickling sensation hits the back of my head as I run my fingers through my hair looking back to find myself surrounded by vehicles.

Strange.

I lock my bike walking towards the elevator making my way straight upstairs towards my home.

I exchange a smile with my neighbour as we cross each other in the corridor before turning my key to unlock the door.

The cracks open with a silent creak and I find myself staring at the empty living room of my house.

Why is the house so silent? And where is my wife?

“Aadriti!” I call out her name as I remove my shoes and keep the helmet above the shoe rack.

“Aadriti?!” I frown, taking quick steps towards the bedroom where I find the door slightly ajar.

I enter the bedroom just in time to see Aadriti standing near the cupboard trying to close it without making any noise.

“What are you doing?” I ask, stepping towards her with curiosity.

Aadriti flinches when she hears my noise and presses her back against the cupboard closing it with a loud thud looking at me with wide eyes.

“Nothing!” She frantically shakes her head keeping herself pressed against the cupboard.

That means there is definitely something! What is she hiding?

I take a step near her while her eyes stay fixed on my actions as I walk closer.

Narrowing my eyes at her suspicious self I raise my hand towards the cupboard door behind her which causes her to widen her eyes.

“What are you doing?!” She asks in a surprised voice.

“Taking out my clothes?” I frown at her behaviour watching as her demeanor slightly relaxes.

Keeping her eyes locked with mine she slightly opens the cupboard behind her and grabs the first thing that reaches her hand and holds it in front of me.

“Here, now go” She pushes the cloth in my hand trying to push me behind along with it.

My eyebrows crease looking at the t-shirt in my hand causing me to look at her in confusion.

“Did you forget we are going out? Or do you want me to wear this?” I question looking at her in confusion.

Her eyebrow creases at my words and her eyes fall on the t-shirt in my hand before she raises them to mine.

I take a step forward this time managing to grab the door and slightly push her aside Ignoring the way her eyes widen at my actions.

“What-!” She shouts as I open the door, grabbing my shirt from the hanger and closing the door.

She takes a sigh of relief after seeing the shirt in my hand, possibly relieved that I didn't find what she was supposedly hiding from me.

“I will go take a shower, we will leave in ten minutes” I remind her not acknowledging her suspicious behaviour.

“Okay!” Her lips stretch in a wide grin as if she wasn't just trying to make sure I don't open the cupboard a few minutes ago.

I stare at for a few more seconds, taking in her smile, noticing the way her eyes sparkle in excitement.
