For you to see beauty here
does not mean
there is beauty in me
It means there is beauty rooted
so deeply within you,
you can't help but see it everywhere.
-Milk and Honey.

Just saw the couplet above, and started writing. Dunnoe if I will continue this tho.
.......
She looked at him from the corner she was standing in.
Laughing merrily, at something his friend had just said.
That laugh, with abandon.
She hadn't seen it since quite a long time.
It raised her spirits, made her heart dance.
Now that she was free, free to think, to wonder, to let her thoughts wander, she just couldn't help wondering. ...about him.
She hadn't really given it much thought before. Never had the luxury of time, to think about such things.
But now, with her brother's innocence proven, her heart at peace, she found her thoughts often returned to this subject.
Studying him.
To say he perplexed her, was an understatement.
Perhaps she had never truly understood him.
His readily forgiving of any slight to him personally, yet being fiercely protective and defensive for the people he loved.
Him not bothering with rules, if the aim was a greater good, yet being a strict observer of rules, under all other circumstances.
Him being a neat freak, at most times, except when he was lonely.
She had only started to notice these things, recently.
Even though they had been married for almost 2 months now.
"Chalein?"
His voice jerked her out of her thoughts, and she was surprised to find him standing beside her.
Raj : Aajkal kaha khoyi rehti ho?
Saying, he took her hand, leading her out to their car.
.......
Naina : Rajveer Sir, plz stop arranging and putting away stuff.
Raj (amused) : Main tumhe kaha keh raha hu karne ko, I am doing it. Problem kya hai.
Naina, who was lounging on the bed as usual, pouted.
Naina : It makes me feel even I should be doing something.
Raj shook his head, and continued putting stuff away.
Soon he finished, and came to the bed.
....
She liked bright colors, and sunlight filtering through trees or windows, into her room.
He seldom wore anything other than his staple colors, and prefered dim and cozy rooms.
She would take any task head on at its most difficult end first, reasoning that the easy stuff would be a breeze then, and get done more quickly.
He preferred to go by the book, methodical to the t.
Sometimes she was proved right, sometimes him.
She was messy to the core, anda wouldn't bother picking stuff up for days, if left alone.
He was relaxed, but liked neat surroundings.
She was a sweet tooth personified, him always yearning for the savoury.
She often wondered (and so did he), how was it, that they could find middle ground so easily.
.....
She tried to snatch his phone away suddenly.
However, he was quicker.
Naina : I saw that.
Raj :(only slightly guiltily) : Yaar, you know how my batchmate group is.
I just opened it.
Naina (pouting) : So you saw the whole BP clip without ME!
Raj who had opened his mouth to argue, shut it again, and startetd laughing.
Naina (fake angrily) : Why are you laughing now??
Saying, she turned away from him.
Raj stopped laughing, but a grin was still plastered on his face, as his gently tried to turn her towards him, in an attempt to pacify her.
Raj : couldn't help it.
Curious as a cat, that's what you are.
Naina frowned.
Naina : I am not.
Raj : Accha? To delete kar du wo clips?
Naina (curiously, innocently) :
Clips? As in more than one?
Raj started laughing again.
She had walked right into this.
Huffing, she jerked him away, to lay down on her side, facing away from him.
Raj did not immediately go to her.
Instead, he shut the lights....
Will continue this based on the response.
