    Some journeys take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny.

     Vihani was away from home again.
She had stopped thinking Visakhapatnam as her home long ago. So this change in location can't be considered as a time away from home...not really.... She had forgotten what it's to feel like missing her home. She missed her Bhai, except that there was nothing for her in her hometown.
So she settled into the new city with ease and a newfound confidence.

It didn't took Avi more than two weeks to keep his word, that her privacy will be back somewhat. They had moved from Visakhapatnam to Kochi in a matter of weeks.

Arjun and Avi owned a property in Kochi and that had became their home for the time being.
For making things easier, their new branch of Curry tree was about to open in Kochi and Chennai. So it made an easier cover up for their sudden relocation.

Finally things were settling down for her, she was less anxious these days and medias attention has changed from them after their wedding.

Vihani has been married for two  months now and she was slowly getting accustomed to her new changes.
She was slightly worried about living with a stranger in an unknown city. But that turned out to be the easiest part actually.

Avi kept himself immersed in work all the time that she barely got to see him for the past two weeks, they were in their new home.

Their property was close to the bustling city and a waterfront villa.
It was a beautiful place, with great views from their balcony.

Avinesh confirmed that it was their first investment in real estate , but both Avinesh and Arjun  loved this property, they kept it as their getaway place.
           It's a simple white concrete building with modern home interior.
Just outside of the front gate, there is a boulder with the name of the house upon it, written Curry tree.

A combination of simplicity and understated luxury shaped the home.
Landscape design was done in such a way that it kind of felt like a sanctuary , close to the nature and greenery. Vihani loved the privacy and space the house allowed that she was feeling a peacefulness here.

The ground floor consists of a living room, dining room, a  kitchen with utility space, and Avi's bedroom with an attached deck area. Vihani had the entire first floor to herself with two bedrooms and a study and balcony. They maintained and followed  their seperate routine and sometimes she actually forgot that Avinesh lived there too.

Vihani was having morning sickness for sometime now and it exhausted her a lot. Her nausea feeling kept her away from the breakfast on time now.
She preferred to have a late breakfast nowadays and by that time Avinesh leaves for work and Vihani enjoyed the quiet days without any interruption.

They had a maid to take care of their meals and a driver, if Vihani wanted to go out somewhere, which she barely did. Except for the doctor's appointment, she stayed home most of the time. She planned to explore the city slowly in the upcoming weeks and she was excited about that.

Vihani was happy that Avinesh kept himself out of her way and took care of her in a subtle way but sometimes, she felt lonely.

She wished that at least they shared a friendliness with each other so that she could have a conversation with him at time to time. The loneliness was disquieting some days that she really wanted to talk to someone.

She knew that Avinesh has the friendly side to him, she had seen the glimpses of that side sometimes. But nowadays, it felt like he has restrained himself from her and Vihani wasn't sure she liked it a lot. She missed him, even though she won't admit it to anyone, like today. Her thoughts were wandering around him while she was looking at the sunny weather outside from the balcony.
