Ahaan and Anaya were in the taxi with the property dealer. The property dealer was seated in the front beside the driver. The taxi stopped in front of the very busy locality, they can hear people shouting. It appeared to be a lower-class area. Ahaan and Anaya observed their surroundings as the property dealer instructed them to follow him. They nodded and walked behind him until they reached the house on the second floor. As they entered the house, they noticed it consisted of just one room with an open kitchen and an attached bathroom. Ahaan glanced at Anaya with sadness in his eyes, and she understood that they didn't have any other option. She looked back at him and gave a small smile, silently assuring him that they would make it work. Ahaan cleared his throat and said, "We are ready to shift into this house." The property dealer smiled and remarked, "Very good decision, sir. In your budget, this is the best house you can get in the city. Believe me. And yes, remember to stand

In the evening, Ahaan returned home tiredly. Anaya looked at his exhausted face, her heart sank seeing his dirty clothes and messy state. However, she quickly replaced her sad expression with a smile, not wanting him to feel bad. As usual, she handed him water, and then he went to the washroom while she started arranging the plates. They ate their meal in silence, and afterward, they lay down on the cot. Suddenly, the lights went off, leaving Ahaan and Anaya in darkness. Anaya got up and fetched a candle, lighting it up. Ahaan was surprised and asked her when she had bought the candles. Anaya replied:" I overheard some ladies discussing the frequent power cuts in the area and decided to purchase candles, just in case. " Ahaan nodded. As time passed, Ahaan began feeling hot without the fan. Sleeping without air conditioning was already challenging for him, and now the fan was not working either. He started sweating profusely. Anaya looked at him with concern and got up to grab a n

One week passed, and their routine was the same. One evening Ahaan returned home excitedly, he hugged Anaya and said, taking her in his arms:" I'm so happy. I got my salary, my life's first salary. Let's go outside. First, we will watch a movie then we will have dinner." Anaya agreed with him but first asked to go to the temple and offer Prashad from his first salary. After watching a movie, Ahaan and Anaya were eating in a normal South Indian restaurant. Ahaan was thinking about how he ignored her in the initial days of marriage. He wanted to pamper her, he wanted to take her shopping, dinner, and everything but now he has no money and when he had money, he ignored her presence. Anaya called him and asked:" Ahaan, what are you thinking?" He shook his head, not wanting to give her stress. Still understanding his reason behind stress, she said with a smile:" Don't worry, everything will be alright. Let's go to the beach after dinner." He nodded and after dinner, they went to the b

Two days later, Anaya woke up and found herself caged in her husband’s arms. She tried to come out of his hold, which disturbed his sleep. He asked in a sleepy voice:” Anaya, what do you want? You are disturbing my sleep.” “Ahaan, I’m getting late for the office. Please, leave me.” Ahaan opened his eyes and saw his wife, who was looking seductive with messy hair and vermillion spread all over her forehead. He couldn’t stop himself and captured her lips, Anaya also got lost in pleasure. Realizing she was getting late for office, she stopped him and said:” Please, Ahaan. I’m getting late.” He pouted and left her, but she was feeling shy as he was looking at her continuously. He asked her with confusion:” What are you waiting for? Go.” “First, turn your face to the other side. I am not wearing anything. “ She said shyly. Ahaan started laughing loudly, hearing her:” Anaya, we have seen each other naked so many times still you are feeling shy.” “It was a different thing, now please cl

A few days passed, and Anaya woke up in the morning holding her stomach. Last night, she had periods and she was feeling pain due to heavy bleeding. She was confused when she didn’t find Ahaan in the room. She was going to check, when he entered the room with a tray in his hand. He placed the tray on the bed and asked with concern:” How are you feeling? Do you want to go to the doctor?” Anaya shook her head with a smile, the whole night he was so worried for her. He kept rubbing her stomach so she would feel better. Her gaze fell on the tray, she saw tea and sandwiches. She asked with confusion:” Who prepared this? “Your husband” He answered while forwarding the cup toward her. Seeing her confused expression, he explained:” I learned to prepare basic food like tea, coffee, sandwich, Maggi, and salads from Saloni. Now, you don’t have to cook if the maid doesn't come.” A smile appeared on her face, seeing his effort. After that, they have breakfast on the bed, enjoying each other's co
