The next day, Arjun suggested, "Maybe we shouldn't go tonight."

"What?" She exclaimed, "No, we have to go! I told Parth we'd go. I swear, my ankle is much better today. See, the swelling has gone down too." He didn't look convinced, "Please? I promise to not walk about much. I really want to go."

He gave in against her pleading face, knowing he couldn't say no and make her sad. "Fine, we'll go."

"Yes!" She exclaimed jumping up to hug him. He mentally shook his head while smiling and resting his hands on her back. She didn't even know it but she could make him do anything she wanted and he would let her so long as it meant it would put a smile on her face.

He exhaled while reluctantly pulling back to not get lost in her warm embrace. 'But you are not leaving my side." He put forth the condition and she quickly agreed. Other than family and his friends, she wouldn't know anyone anyway to go wander off. She also saw why he would make that promise. She loved exploring new things so there had been a high possibility that she would get lost somewhere. It reminded her of the time during their honeymoon when they'd gone to the museum and after some time, he had held her hand because he kept on losing her. She hadn't made it easy on him by letting curiosity getting the better of her and wandering around.

That evening, Neha came over so they could get ready together and car pool. After getting dressed, Sanam sat on the bed waiting for him to come out of the washroom. Getting bored, she spotted his tie lying on the bed and picked it up. Putting it around her neck, she started to make a perfect triangle but she couldn't. She couldn't remember how.

"Stupid thing." She muttered seeing that for the third time, she had ended up getting a knot.

"What are you doing?" Arjun asked when he came out, dressed except for his tie and shoes.

She looked up and for a second, froze. He was beyond dashing in formals. He did wear a suit and tie to work, but she hadn't seen him in one until today since she left before him and he would already be home and changed in normal clothes by the time she would return. The three piece was fitted to perfection, hinting at his lean body as well as the biceps.

"Sanam?" She heard him speak, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything back. Damn, looks like seeing him in formals is my weak spot. "Sweetheart."

At that, she did blink and returned to Earth. "Hmm? What?"

There was an amused grin sported on his face. She didn't respond to her name, but she responded when he called her sweetheart. "Why are you butchering my tie?"

"I wasn't." She said but looked down to see he was right. It was all creased up as she had tried to tie it so many times, and failed. "Sorry." She mumbled offering an explanation, "I was bored and I thought I remembered but looks like I can't.

She removed it off from around her neck and undid the knot she had managed once again. He came to stand in front of her and taking it from her, put it around her neck again. She creased her forehead, ready to protest, when she caught on to what he was doing. She glanced down at his fingers close to her chest while he so efficiently tied it. As he tightened it around her neck gently, she looked up at him and it dawned on her. He was standing right in front of her. She inhaled a sharp breath, but he didn't realize.

"There, done." He whispered and moved aside to stand behind her. She saw herself in the mirror in front of them. He gave an impressed look, "The new style suits you."
