There's something strange happens after marriage. Your priorities will change, your view about this life will change, and you were always pushed to think about your significant other, maybe it's due to love or by compulsion. The list of things which gives you happiness before meeting him will completely be altered; When you are with him you feel happy when you are in his embrace you forget all your worries and when he smiles looking at you with love, you get a strength that's greater than anything. He can make you feel happy and sad at the same time and he makes you cry and laugh with a wink. So this why people say, "you turned my world upside down". This might not happen to everyone, but this has happened to quiet, timid, valiant and diligent Sathya!

Isn't that an anticipated one? And if that happened to someone as well.....

Raghu opened his eyes when he heard the sound of a thunderstorm. The sound of pattering rain somewhat reached his ears. The room was grey and cold. He looked at his side, Sathya was lying next him gripping the bed sheet close to her chest. His lips curled in smile to see her face, he couldn't describe whether she is smart, beautiful or temptress but he has seen all these characteristics in Sathya.

He couldn't describe those eccentric feelings that he gets when she is close to him, the way her small fingers caress him, the way she speaks softly with a smile, the way she cooks and the way her eyes twinkle when he appreciates that, the way she blushed when she is shy and the way she moan, breathe and react to his touch when they make love. There isn't a single reason to fall in love with her, he loves her everything.

Raghu turned to face Sathya, included himself into her duvet he drew her close to him. Raghu was not used to sleep covering sheets over him even though it is cold and Sathya can't sleep without it. He watched her closely observing her perfect eyebrows, her closed almond-like eyes, her cheeky cheeks, small nose, and her soft lips. Her brown skin was glowing even in that dim room.

When the first time he went to see her, she looked very average yet he saw a spark in her big innocent eyes. When he decided to reject her he couldn't because he got a strange interest after talking to her, she has that sweet voice with a soft tone. When he was confused to take decision his aunt told about how financially unstable they are and she asked him to not reject her because they are too pathetic and she added Sathya will be a good wife since she doesn't have anyone to support her after her parents. But Raghu didn't say yes for his Aunt's reason, he had his own interest.

He was not greatly interested in marriage thinking about his fears. But after seeing Sathya his thoughts has changed. He doesn't want to betray her at the same time so he told everything about him to her parents. They didn't consider it big and gave permission to marry their daughter.

On their wedding night, Sathya nervously entered the room. One of the greatest difficulties of being a man is to control the uncontrollable urges. He hesitantly asked permission and she shyly granted his wish. He thought she is too easy but he doesn't know her reasons.

When he started living with her, he was surprised to know what kind of person she is. He can't help feeling happy for getting her as his wife. For the first time, he realized his purpose, is to love her, protect her and to make her happy. As each morning while dropping her at her work he started to feel he is leaving something so precious to him.

Before weekends are the most boring days of his life, now they have become his favorite where he could spend each minute around her. Sometimes he used to love her, sometimes he has a raw lust on her. There isn't an exact moment to specify when it all started. Now his love has grown too much in him, slowly yet gradually.
