Saakshi opened the door of her apartment, as Sidhanth followed her in . The apartment was large enough. It had classy furnitures and interiors. Two bedrooms, one drawing room with a big LED TV , a small study area, and  kitchen. Every room, even the visitors and kitchen had a balcony area attached. Small bushes and plants were there are every corner showing her love for plants.

"That's your room. You can use it. And... There is kitchen. If you need something, please do tell me..."

" Oh.. thank you Saakshi.."

Saakshi was going to open her room door, when he excused her.

"Saakshi ji... Did you have a habit of going for jogging..?"

She nodded in a yes.

"Then , please do call me when you go .. You can show me around, also we can spend sometime together, I mean discuss about the case... Also.. jogging is good for health right..."

He find her glaring at him. But he responded with a sheepish smile.

"And one more thing... I prefer tea more than coffee... Good night darling..."

He said as he moved towards his room.
"Darling..??" , She thought to herself. Then brushed it off and went to her room.

Next morning, Saakshi woke up hearing the alarm. It was 6 in the morning. She woke up and did her morning cores. Then went straight to the kitchen.

'I prefer tea more than coffee'

Her mind echoed his words when she began to take the coffee powder. But soon replaced it by tea. She went to his room after keeping the milk in the kettle. It was dark, whih means he is still sleeping. She came inside and saw him sleeping peacefully covered in the blanket.

"Sidhanth... wake up..."

No use. He didn't even stirred. She tried in more louder voice. Now he made a sound, more like he didn't want to wake up now. But she didn't let it go so easily. She removed the blanket from his face, and moved towards the glass door and windows to move the curtains. The sunlight entered the room disturbing his sleep.
He blinked his eyes and tried to open it. The moment he saw her face glowing in the light sunrays, a smile came on his face. She looked at him,and wished a "morning" before leaving the room.

After 10mins he came from the room in his track suit. Saakshi offered him a cup of tea and one for herself.

"What will you have for breakfast..?"

"Anything... A bread and butter is more than enough..."

He said with a smile. Usually she have a piece of bread in the morning as she will be busy to go to office.

Soon they went out to the nearby park , for jogging. She saw many girls drooling over the person next him. He was not less, giving charming smiles to those girls. Somehow this made her angry and stopped jogging . He was busy looking at others and didn't realise she has stopped 8 steps before. He looked behind only to find her sitting on a bench having some water.
He returned back and sat beside him.

"Tired so soon Darling..."

He tried to snatch the bottle from her, but failed.

"Don't Call Me Darling!! "
She said stressing each word.

"Ooo... Sorry... Actually.. I have a habit of addressing Darling everyone. You know, everyone is darling for me. And I am a darling for everyone too, that's another matter.  But if you don't like...then.... I will surely call you Darling 😛😛"
