Later at night.

Isha changes her clothes and was sitting on bed waiting for vikram to come. Vikram come out of the bathroom and walk towards the couch.

" Umm... Vikram. You can sleep bed now. You don't need to sleep on couch. " Isha said. Trying very hard to hide her nervousness.

Vikram stood frozen as he slowly turn to her .

" Are you sure? It's fine I can sleep on couch till you are comfortable. " Vikram said. He doesn't want to make her uncomfortable nor do he wants her to take this decision out of duty just because she give him a chance.

Isha shook her head slightly. " It's fine. I want to start our new journey. I am comfortable sharing bed with my husband " Isha said reassuring.

Vikram heartbeat raise . " She called me her husband. !!! God I am doomed.. Vikram focus. Don't embarrass yourself in front of her. " Vikram thought as he nodded avoide looking at her for too long .

He took his pillow and blanket walking slowly towards the bed .

" Are you sure you are comfortable? " Vikram asked again just to make sure.

Isha smiled and nodded. " Yes I am comfortable. Come here. " She patted bed softly inviting him.

He told a deep breath to calm down his racing heart as he walk to bed and slowly sat beside her keeping a respectful distance .

" We.. Should sleep " Vikram said . Nerveously rubbing his hands together.

Isha nodded. They settled on bed. Vikram laid on bed keeps distance between them. He look at her.

" Good night " He said with smile.

Isha smiled back. " Good night. " She said as she turn to her side closing her eyes. Vikram look at her back with smile as he finally close his eyes.

They fall asleep peaceful.

Next morning

Isha woke up first. She was closer to Vikram. Not hugging yet but close enough to feel his boy warmth. She move back a little slowly as she look at his sleeping face with soft smile on her lips.

She sit up looking at his face. A mischievous smile formed on her face as she gently poke his left cheek. He stir and rub his cheek still asleep. She poke his right cheek this time. He stir again rubbing his cheek not waking up yet.

She cover her mouth so he don't hear her chuckle. As she move her hand toward him to poke his cheek again but her eyes widen be hold her wrist in mid air , eyes still closed.

" Is it a good way to wake up your husband like that ? " Vikram asked, thumb lightly brushing her pulse. His hold gentle on her wrist.

" Yes.. It's my way to wake you up. You got any problem?" Isha said slightly playfully tone.

Vikram smiled as he finally open his eyes and look at her. " Then I don't mind waking up like this every morning " Vikram said as he slowly let go her wrist.

" I will poke harder next time if you don't wake up" Isha said. Of course she doesn't mean it. She would never hurt him intentionally . The fact that he knows it.

His smile only got wider.

" You can poke as hard as you want. I don't mind it if it's you doing it. " He said slightly teasing.

She turn her face to hide her slight blush . She cleared her throat. " Fine fine. I am going to bathroom now. " She stood up and left quickly.

Once the door shut he chukled.

" Do you need any help there? " He called out teasingly.

Isha turn to glare at him " I don't need your help. " She said asshe close the door of the bathroom .

Isha was sitting on couch talking to abhinav.

" So did you got any girlfriend? " Isha asked sipping tea.

" No. But.. There is a girl I like ." Abhinav said shyly looking at isha .

" Yeh toh bhout achi baat hai . What are you waiting for.? Go and propose her. " Isha said with smile.

" Good luck with this. " Vikram said.

" Thank you bhai. You know you are the lucky to marry Isha babhi. In college days many of the boys proposed her but she rejected all of them. Her only focus was her career. " Abhinav said with a teasing smile.

" Of course I am lucky. I got busty with brain. " Vikram said proudly

He turn to look at Isha with smile." Right.. Wife. " Vikram said
