Ekansh's POV

I was at the doorstep attending a call but my eyes kept drifting away towards my wife who was standing near the couch and everyone just praising her or giving her gifts for her first rasoi.

I have already prepared her gift but this meeting is important, I'll have to attend it.

I sighed. Just a few days back, I was always submerged in work, meeting, and office but now...

"Sir?" The voice of my manager Nakul came.

"I'm coming to the office in 10 minutes. Prepare the boardroom and files."

Saying this I cut off the call and turned to go to my car-sleek and shining black bulletproof Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

Dev opened the door and he nodded at me and I nodded back while sitting in the backseat.

Neer sit at the front seat talking to other guards while the car moves forward.

I leaned back and opened the phone to check the emails when my thoughts drifted towards Advika-my cute little wife. I don't know what's happening to me but whenever I think about her a strange emotion erupted in me.

Is it like or merely attraction? Why do I always feel like protecting her from the world?

I was lost in my thoughts when the car stopped in front of my company. I entered the lobby and saw that everyone was busy with their work or pretending to.

Some wished me good morning while I nodded at them and walked toward the elevator.

Just as the elevator opened on the top floor, Nakul was standing there with my coffee and an Ipad. He hands me the coffee and starts telling me the schedule for the day.

"Has all the preparation been done for the meeting?"I asked and he replied, "Yes sir, all done and Mr. Singhaniya has arrived and is waiting in the conference room."

I nodded and went to the conference room. I entered in the conference room and shake Mr. Singhaniya's firmly.

"Welcome Mr. Singhaniya, I hope you don't have any trouble while travelling here?" I asked.

"No Mr. Agnihotri, I have good timing here." He said slightly amusingly and I nodded, "Shall we start?" He nodded and the meeting got started.

The meeting went well and I was reading a file when the door to my office opened without any knock.

Only one person is capable of coming into my cabin like this.

I sighed and said irritatingly without lifting my head, "What are you doing here, Yug?"

He chirply entered into the cabin and sat in the chair across the desk, "Well, I can ask the same question. What are you doing here at the office just after your marriage?"

"I had an important meeting today and you?"

"Nitya has gone to meet with her friends." He said disappointed.

"Tabhi sade huye kele ke chilke jaisi sakal ho gayi hai." I said laughingly when he glared at me and said, "Tujhe badi hasi aa rahi, tujhe kya lagta hai Nitya ki dost kaun kaun hai."

The moment I realised Nitya's friend Yug laughed while playing with the paperweight and said, "You realised so early, tubelight."

But why has no one informed me?

I picked the phone to call Dev and I have 5 missed calls from Dev and 1 from Maa.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, my phone has been on silent-that's why I don't know.

Yug looked at me and said softly, "Don't worry, Dev has informed me and they have more than security around that area."

I released a breath of relief and I realised how scared I got for a few seconds. Yug suddenly became serious and blurted out, "I think you love her."

"What? Did you hit your head or something? Idiot!!!"

"Why not?"

"Because love doesn't happen in just one day. It might be just a mere attraction or because Dadu loved her deeply." I tried to convince myself more than him.

He said, "Yes, you're right... love doesn't happen in just one day. It takes only one moment and boom you're in love."

He continued though his expression changed as if remembering his first time when he fell in love. "Love isn't loud. It's the most silent and beautiful feeling you've ever felt. Love happens in a moment. Their one action is enough to make you fall even if they are doing nothing but only existing. That's all. When you get scared only at the thought of losing them-that's love. When your heart desires only one person-that's love. When their presence and absence start affecting your mood-that's love. And most importantly, when you are at your lowest and the only person that comes to your mind-that's LOVE."

He then asked slightly smiling, "So now tell me, are you not in love Mr. Ekansh Advika Agnihotri."

His little speech stunned me and after thinking a lot I asked, "What if this is just attraction and you're mistaken it into love?"

He stood and said, "Attraction is just with outer appearance and love is with inner soul."

I went into deep thinking, well one thing's clear it's not an attraction. That left me with only one option.

I also stood up and started to go away. Yug asked, wiggling his eyebrows, "You don't have any meetings now?"

I said while walking towards the elevator, "No, and I still don't know the reason for your visit."

I entered the elevator when he also jumped into it and said, "Wo kya hai na meri baggo thi nahi ghar pe toh socha tu hai na isliye yaha aa gaya."

"Hn toh mere piche piche kyu aa raha... ab ja na yaha se." I said irritatingly.

"Koi kadar hi nahi hai is insaan ko meri. Ek toh free therapy session kiya tera warna mahino baad mere pass aake kehta - I think I'm in love." He said laughingly and I just shook my head at his antique drama.

We reached the ground floor and the elevator opened up. I started going towards my car when Yug came towards the car and sat in the passenger seat.

I sighed, "Get out. I'm going to pick up my wife while you should also consider this and go in your own damn car. Idiot."

"For your kind information, my wife is also there and my car will reach there. Now stop acting like a grumpy child and get in the car. We are getting late."

I sat in the car and thought, why am I even friends with him?

I read the files and Yug blabbered all about this new project he works on as usual.

We reached the BlueMoon cafe and I looked up and saw Advika and her friends sitting at an outside table busy themselves.

I get down from the car, put on my sunglasses and scan the area for any threat.

This place looks normal, when I look back at Advika- her expression is full of concentration and nodding her head in between whatever Nitya is saying.

I reached at their table when she noticed me and her expression turned fearful?

I don't know whether it's fear or horror or in between them.

I stood behind her and rested my palms on either side of her chair and said, "Hello ladies."

Advika's POV

I'm currently standing in front of the closet and wow!!!!

When Aditi told me she forgot to tell me something, I had not expected this of all things. Rows of neatly placed clothes were hanging from hangers of all types- sarees, suit, casual, western all of my size.

I think these clothes will last for all my life.

I closed the closet door after putting all the gifts I've got this morning in the drawer.

This family is so sweet that I can't believe it.

I took a deep breath and made my way downstairs when I saw Sheru coming towards me.

I panicky stood on the bed and looked around frantically. What is he doing here?

He didn't bark at me like this morning and he stood at the side of the bed looking at me innocently. I slightly waved at him, "Hi Sheru, yaha akele kya karne aaye?"

He's still looking at me silently when a thought comes across my mind, is he gonna bite me?

I cautioningly sat on bed though slightly far from his range if suddenly he decided to jump on me. He softly barked once and put his head on the bed looking at me.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do but I have seen online that dogs love patting their head.

I was more than scared to do that because I've never had a pet. I slowly reached forward and put my palm on his head, patting slightly.

He whines softly and closes his eyes. I smiled slightly at him and said softly, "You know Sheru is a good name but I think Snowy suits you more. What do you say?"

He perks his head at me and barks at me as if saying he likes his new name. Then he leaned more into my palms and the initial fear I had dissolved slowly.

I played with him for a few more minutes then I stood up from bed, Snowy also stood up and I realised that this whole time he was sitting only.

Wow! He's half of my size.

He looked intimidating with his height, pure white snow like fur and blue eyes.

But then he wiggled his tail with his innocent face.

He looked like a puppy to me and I said to him, “Let's go downstairs, I will play with you later."

I started to go and Snowy walked beside me when my phone rang. It's Nitya , I picked up and Nitya and Saanvi’s voice filled up in my ear,“Mubarak ho tumko tumhari ye shaadi, sada khush raho tum ye dua hai humari.”

I smiled, "Waah yaar, happy marriage bolne ka tarika thoda casual hai”

Nitya said laughingly, “You like casual, babe.” And Saanvi joined Nitya.

I just shook my head at them, “So why did you call?”

Saanvi said, “Let's meet, I have to tell you guys something."

I asked curiously, “Kahi tumhari marriage toh nahi fix ho gayi Anvi?" 

Saanvi's voice came, “Nope, and I don't think ki iss janam mein koi milega mujhe."

Nitya said, “Don't worry yaar, Kanha ji ne banaya hoga tumhare liye koi na koi. Waqt lag raha hoga usko aane mein bas.”

Saanvi said irritatingly, "Lagta hai raaste mein hi nipat liya mera wala.”

“Aisa nahi kehte yaar." Nitya and I both said at the same moment and the three of us laughed together.

Nitya said after some time, "We will meet at our usual cafe in one hour.”

I cut the call and make my way downward.
