When I finally woke up, the room was empty.
My eyes widened looking at the clock on the wall..
Holy shit!!!! How did I sleep this late??
I jumped up and sat on the bed..
I looked at the side of the bed and a note was placed under my phone..
I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion and picked it up..

"Going to the office.. Will be late.. Breakfast is on the table... Don't wait for me at dinner.. "
Haaris's neat handwriting stared back at me..

I felt guilty.
Whether I liked it or not, he was my husband now.
It was my duty to take care of his meals..

I immediately freshened up and did my morning routine..

I changed into a blue kurti with white pants and pulled my hair into a bun.

I went to the kitchen and there was omelette and orange juice kept on the small table..
Giving into my hunger, I ate it..
It was really tasty, I didn't know haaris was such a good cook..
I thought savoring the taste in my mouth..
I made a mental note to thank him..

I started wondering what to do next..
I lazily roamed around the house.
Then finally decided to go to the small study which was already becoming my favorite place.

Let me tell you, I was a bookaholic, book addict, book worm... whatever you'd like to call it..
I checked out some books, tracing my hands on the worn out spines and inhaling their sweet scent..

They were mostly poetry and classical English literature along with some business and engineering related books..

Haaris didn't seem to be someone who was into reading such books..

It was weird.. But then again, I didn't know him..

It was almost 7 when my stomach growled making me realize I was hungry..
I hadn't had my lunch as I was too engrossed in the books..

I went into the kitchen to make some dinner..
I took out some vegetables and chicken from the fridge, and made some chicken salad.
The fridge was stocked with vegetables, chicken, meat everything..

Does he really eat that much??
I thought surprised..

The kitchen was a mess..
I decided to clean it up tomorrow.

I took my plate and went and sat in front of the TV.

I was watching some Hollywood movie, but my mind drifted elsewhere..
My thoughts kept going back to my wedding day..
I had long forgotten about the food..

I sighed and went into the kitchen keeping the plate into the fridge, as my appetite had disappeared..

It was about 9 in the night and Haaris was not back yet..
I felt a little worried..

I had just decided to call him when suddenly.....

The power went off...
