It was awkward in the whole car journey.
This wasn't the First Time We kissed but this was the First Time I KISSED HER.

For the First few seconds I couldn't make it why I did that. I wasn't an impulsive man.

Held by the composer , until she entered the picture.

I saw her clenching and unclenching her fist nervously.

"When are We leaving for our ho... I mean Korea"? She asked, Thank God she broke the silence.

" Next Sunday". I replied and saw her approving nod.

"If you have any Assignment or important work We can skip that". I tried to be reasonable with her studies.
She was still in the 3rd year of MBBS and home studies might be too much for her.
It would be better if she didn't skip college.

" No, I still have a week before the college breaks will be over". She replied and I was relieved.

Why,
I didn't know.

"Great". I said and soon We reached the parking lot of the palace.
She walked out in a hurry as if I was going to kidnap her.

Strange

I too came out and walked towards the entrance when I got a call, from the last person I want to think about at this time.

𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙠

I didn't receive the call, after his last call I was left in a dilemma.

I have to talk to Mishti.

That's when I saw something lying lifeless in the side garden.
I walked towards it, that's a bird, a sparrow at that.
I picked it up, and one of its wings is broken.

Everyone were asleep, it was 2 A. M.

When I walked in my room I saw my wife was not there. The shower was on.
I gulped involuntarily, a strange feeling held my heart.

I shrugged it off to look after the bird, it was still alive and breathing, just it's Wing was the problem.

I placed it carefully on the table and covering it with my handkerchief went to bring something to feed it.

It was almost 10 minutes and I heard a scream from my room.

I hurried in and Mrs. Suryavanshi was Standing there in a.....towel, her hand on her chest. Her eyes staring at the bird on the table with horror.

Then her eyes met mine. And I couldn't look away. Water dripping from her damp hair, the drops finding way from her face to chin, then on floor, but the most dangerous ones found their way to her chest.

"Viaan I am asking you". I heard her Voice, her eyes were widened.

That snapped me out of the hypnosis.
I cleared my throat, looked up and took a few deep breaths before Looking at her again, this time making sure to not look down.

"I found it lying in the side garden, one of It's wings is broken". I said calmly.

She looked at the bird, then at me.

" Then lets take it to the nearby avian veterinarian". She said and caressed the sparrow.

I didn't say anything because I Lost my composer, by her movement my whole attention was diverted to her legs. I saw a few marks on them.

"Are you even listening". Again Thanks to her I gained conciousness.

Concentrate Viaan, you can't be  delusional.

" Like this"? I asked, able to form a smirk mischeviously.

She frowned in confusion, then looked down when I directed by eyes.

"Like wh... ". Her eyes widened and soon she disappeared in the bathroom.

Taking away my distraction with her.

I fed the sparrow, it was fine and not bleeding anymore but examination was necessary.

"Ahem". I heard her clearing her throat before walking out of the closet, dressed in a night dress.

What was I thinking, taking away distraction ?

𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚.

" Shall We take it for treatment"? She asked and I nodded.

I messaged Rajvir before starting the car.
Soon he replied, when does this man sleeps actually?

"I hope it will be fine, thank God you found it". She said, the sparrow on her lap.

" Yes, Thank God I found it". I said looking at her, she didn't realise neither did I.

What's happening?

"Sparrows are hard to find nowadays, radioactives Waves killed many, only a few left those too are in danger". She said and I agreed.

" You know when I was a kid, sparrows used to gather in the balcony and I loved feeding them Grains and place water for them.... ".

She talked and I listened.
My favourite part time nowadays.

𝙄𝙣 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩, 𝙄 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙮𝙨.

After getting the sparrow checked and taking the medicine for it, We came back and Mrs. Suryavanshi placed it on a pile of cotton, shaping it like a bed.

" Perfect, isn't it"? She asked before covering it with my handkerchief.

"Perfect". I said, Looking at her smiling face.

Was I hypnotised, or someone did black magic on me?

She took off her specs and looked at me.

"Let's sleep now". Those words were normal but time wasn't.

Without Looking back at her I hurried in the bathroom.

The intoxicating fragrance of lavender was all over the bathroom.

𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣'𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩, 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙩.

Was I spellbounded?

After taking a cold shower and calming my tense body, I walked out of the bathroom.

I was dressed, she should have been too.

But we are married.

Just for name.

My thoughts vanished into thin air when I saw the view in front of me.
She was sleeping like a baby, calm, no sign of tension, just soothing.

Like a breeze of mountain air hitting my face.

I sat on my knees to carefully look at my wife.

"𝙆𝙖𝙝𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙪𝙢𝙚𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙖𝙥𝙨𝙚 𝙥𝙮𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙤𝙝 𝙣𝙝𝙞 𝙝𝙤 𝙜𝙖𝙮𝙖"?

" (Could it be that I've fallen in love with you?) "

I looked at the message in my phone and felt myself vulnerable at that moment.

Even if I did,
We Aren't meant to be.

I pecked her head and walked in my study.

Taking out the blue book from the shelf and door Opened ,

the door of my 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵.
