Author's POV
Nirmaan was lying next to Subí, after flipping off the lights, whereas Subi was sleeping or pretending to sleep with her back facing to him.
All the day's events were running in his mind. With his left arm tucked between his head and pillow and other hand on his chest he was looking at ceiling lost in his thoughts.
He was feeling at peace, feeling content knowing there is someone who belongs to him. Someone's happiness belongs to him and same goes for him.
He knew it was not going to be easy, for a man who never shared a single thing let alone his whole life.
Nirmaan was a man of few words and rude arrogant and cold. Well that might be true for the world but, not for his loved ones. In all 28 years of his being he never really had a single serious relationship.
Yeah, he sure had his fair share of flings here and there in his early days of college but, he soon realised his priorities and made his sole focus his career which was the result of his immense success and running a successful business empire in India. From Real estate to Hotel business and one of the most selling luxury lingerie brand. Her wife will get a heart attack knowing that. It made him chuckle. He had it all set, but never had that peace of mind which he was feeling right now, lying next to his wife.
Subí might not know this but, their connection wasn't only through this marriage proposal which proposed just a week ago. But it was a story started 2 years ago.
His chain of thoughts broke when he felt something snaked around his torso. He looked down to find his Subi,wrapping him in her arms, snuggling her face in his chest.
At first he didn't move, as much as he was liking it, he didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable when she wakes up, so he tried to remove her hand but It was of no use. She tightened her grip and scrunched her face making disapproving sound like a child which made him chuckle.
He felt nice but also a weird kind of feeling he didn’t feel before. Her tight chest pressed on his. When he looked down, Nirmaan could see her cleavage. He controlled his rising hormones and coded his eyes.
So he let it be, putting his arm around her shoulder. He closed his eyes, letting the sleep take him in, when he again felt something which was Subi's leg on his stomach which was followed by the another one.
"Gosh.....Yeh ladki bilkul bachcho ki tarha Soti hai",(she sleeps like a child.)a smile formed on his lips unknowingly. Closing his eyes he tried sleeping and finally went into a comfortable slumber.

Light was peaking through the window and on Subí's face. And she purred in her sleep putting her head under the pillow. When she heard the noise of water running. She came out from under her pillow rubbing her eyes when she realised where she was.
Nirmaan was taking a shower.
She shuffled through the sheets looking for her phone and checked the time. "Mar gai, Subi tujhme bilkul Akkal nahi hai, 7:45 baj rahe hai, Aur tu Abhi tak kumbkaran ki tarah soo rahi hai, EK minute Maine toh alarm lagaya tha phir baja kaise nahi" ( God ! I’m dead . It’s already 7:45 and I’m sleeping like a dead, but didn’t I put an alarm?, Silly girl, stop overthinking and get up)she started thinking how was it possible, ", my subconscious screamed.
Without wasting another second she jumped out of the bed and straight to the closet. Only to find a very handsome man in his black pants, only in pants, water droplets falling from his disheveled hair. He turned to pick his shirt, when she came out of her ogling session and turned around showing her back.
He moved his eyes up from his shirt just in time to see his wife was staring a sec ago. With a smirk he started moving towards her. "Sharamo mat Biwi, jitna chahe dekh lo, I'm all yours."(Don't be shy Biwi, look as much as you want, I'm all yours)
She shook her head in negative, "pehle a..aapp apni shirt pehno"First you wear a shirt), "BIWI?", he said sternly but she didn't budge. "Don't worry, Maine shirt pehni hui hai, you can turn"(I'm already wear shirt.)
She turned and he WAS’NT wearing his shirt. “When Subi turned her eyes got stuck on his bare naked chest, “ahh…uuu….um..weren’t you in bathroom then here??”, she asked trying to steal her gaze.
He pointed his finger towards the door inside the closet. "There's a door inside as well.", she looked ,thought and huffed. "Kya hua?"(what happen?),he asked looking at her reaction. "Is kamre main kitne darwaze hain, room kam bhool bhulaiya zada lagti hai"(This room have so many doors and all connected to each other, it feels more like Labyrinth)she said with a pout.
He just chuckled at her cute statement. "Okay, now go get ready, maa must be waiting for us. I'll be in room."
Hearing that she remembered why she came inside running. Brushing pass him, she ran to her suitcase to take a change of clothes. Just when she pulled the suitcase from shelve, it scattered on the floor. Because our dear Subi forget to lock it. Resulting into making more mess, on the top of being late. And cherry on top was that red Lacey lingerie dress on top of all the clothes which should be at the bottom.
Before Nirmaan could come closer to help she hid it behind her back all embarrassed now. She was pretty sure he might have seen it.
Which got confirmed when Nirmaan helped her pick her clothes and just before getting up he whispered, “Nice choice and that to I’m my favorite red color.” Making her go all red in embarrassment.
Finally he left and Subi rushed towards the bathroom taking a quick shower and coming back to closet to change into a simple red organza saree.
She quickly did her hair and applying moisturiser, kajal followed by her red lipstick matching with saree. She wasn't a fan of makeup, just keeping it simple with just doing what was necessary. Putting her earrings on.
Just when she was about to put sindoor from her sindoor dani, a thought came to her mind.
She came to the room and few steps away from Nirmaan stood there hesitantly. Nirmaan who was busy in his phone, sitting on bed moved his gaze up only to find a nervous Subi, who probably wanna say something but wasn't able to say it out loud.
"Kya hua?, kuch chahiye?",(Do you want something?), he asked standing on his feet and moving towards her. She nodded her head in yes. "Hmm?, tell me?", "woh...main..apse ek request karni thi",(acct…actually I wanted to make a request, he didn't say anything waiting for her to complete.
Not saying anything further she forwarded her hands from her back which were holding a beautiful sindoor dani.(box of vermillion.)
Without saying anything Nirmaan turned his gaze back to his phone putting his left hand in pocket. When Subi looked back up she felt tinge of pain in her heart .
Feeling rejected she turned to leave when a strong grip stopped her holding her wrist. She was pulled back colliding with his muscled chest. She moved her head up took look into his intense gaze. "So..sorr..Sorry", she stuttered. Tears welling up in her eyes.
Nirmaan took the boz , from her hand, holding her chin with his index finger and thumb, "Aaj kar raha hu, agli baar tab aana jab haq se bologi na ki request karne , HAQ HAI TUMHARA, JATANA SEEKHO"( Today is the last time I'm full filing you request, next I'll do it only when you say it with a right, IT'S YOUR RIGHT, LEARN TO CLAIM IT", saying so,he filled her hairline he kissed her forehead. He gave her a hug hiding her inside his arms.
Subi was feeling as if she could fly between those clouds spreading her wings. She might not have given him same hug but, he knew she will need time to open up.
Their moment broke when they heard a knock on the door and rumbling of sounds outside. Subi turned looking confused as why there are noises outside while Nirmaan very well knew what was going to happen. He rolled his eyes and went to open the door.
