Sampurnaa's pov:

"Happy Marriage Anniversary" I heard a voice whispering in my ear

A smile appeared on my face involuntarily, even before my eyes opened to welcome the day ahead.
"Wishing you the same." I replied with a smile, sitting up in bed.
"When did you return home yesterday? I did not even realise if you had come."

"Of course you wouldn't! We have been married for 3 years now! All this waiting up for your better half etc. exists only in the first year, right?" I asked him while getting up from the bed

He sighed.
"Those aren't my words! They are Kapil's words from The Kapil Sharma Show! You know that I stay up every time... I just well fell asleep yesterday!"

I laughed at his flustered state.
"You can relax! I was just joking... Not to be taken seriously. And to answer your question, the political editor of India Today had a lot of work to do which explains why she was so late. You see, the presidential elections are coming up."

Yes, I have been promoted to the post of Political Editor. After 3 years of continuous competition and struggle, I finally had established myself as an able journalist! I had to write several articles about political strategies and the evolution of politics... Even Chanakya neeti in order to climb my way up the ladder; from Studio Correspondent to political editor! And yes, my husband helped me a lot with it! He never minded my bizarre working hours... In fact he is the one who supported me even against my parents' wishes. They had been concerned; but he convinced them.

Oh yes! I forgot to say this... But I did get to sponsor a trip to Australia, for the two of us last year... Just as he had told me!

Yeah, we still have fights and arguments... In fact the number of arguments we have just keep going up and the subject of the arguments range from monthly expenditure to how much salt there is in the food... But things are going well and the two of us are doing well, both professionally and personally.

"Why is the light in the bathroom on?" I asked him the moment I saw the switch on

He rubbed his nape guiltily.
"I forgot to switch it off..." he replied
I raised my eyebrows and said, "... Again"

He nodded and then apologised but I wasn't obviously backing out so soon.

"Do you have any idea how much the electricity bill amounted to last month?" I asked him sternly

He shook his head.

"Of course you don't! After all I pay the electricity bill! Anyways... Unless you want to start taking up the responsibility of the electricity in our household... So, beware and please for heaven's sake stop wasting resources!"

Indrayan nodded obediently and I began laughing at his reaction and he yanked me close to him by pulling me by my wrist upon realising that I had actually been joking. I hit him on his arm and then ran away...

...

Maa and Dad are busy playing with Saptarshi. He is 3 years old now and comes to stay here, during weekends. He is scared of Boudi as she is a strict parent and he is excessively comfortable with Dada, because he loves his son and even saves him from Boudi's scoldings. The little prince of our household!
