I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead. I sense a headache Incoming. The delivery guy bought dinner and I told Arnav to have dinner and that I will have it once I give Scooby a bath. Giving Scooby a bath was easier said than done since that little tiny demon hates baths. But, today was not the day I chose to lose. After giving him a rather long shower thanks to Scooby's whining and post-patting him dry, I let Scooby out of the bathroom, only to find him running up to Arnav, who was sitting there at the dinner table. Waiting for me.
I badly wanted to take a shower myself but I didn't want to keep him waiting so I grabbed a bite or two. Arnav looked at me rather strangely. Normally, I would be the one gobbling up food but not today.
Arnav's POV All I wanted was a chill day back home. I was already upset that we couldn't save one of my patients today. He came in a critical condition and he just has to pass away. The last thing I wanted was to cook dinner or even that little demon out for a walk. And worse, get scolded for that..!! Even the weather was not in my favor since it rained while Scooby and I were returning home from a walk. And hence, the muddy footprints.
Khushi looked very tired when she got back home. I guess she sensed that I was not in the greatest of moods and took control of the whole scene at home. And whilst she was giving Scooby a bath, I washed out the utensil in which I had burnt dinner and cleaned up the kitchen.
As I watched her take bites of dinner,I could see the exhaustion in her eyes. "Mom invited us for dinner tomorrow. I told her that I will check with you and confirm." I watched her as she ran some mental calendar in her head and then tell me - "Cool, my work should get over by 6 tomorrow" "Great, then. I will pick you??" - I asked her. Khushi - "That would be great. Thanks" And after dinner, Khushi washed the dishes while I wiped them dry and put them in their respective places. And both of us just crashed on the bed, exhausted from our day.
That night, rain poured down incessantly, fulfilling the air with a full body chill and crisp earth kiss. As the sky rumbled and shook, the coolness in the air rose up. In my sleep, I may have scooted over to Khushi in search of some warmth. Because the next time I know that Khushi sort of startled me awake and elbowed me right on the nose. I should have known better.
Ever since we got married viz like 2 months ago, Khushi has always maintained an invisible boundary line on a bed that she refuses to cross over to my side. Most mornings, I'm usually the one who would wake up on her side of bed.
Khushi apologized numerous times to me for hitting on my nose and hence the nosebleed. After a few minutes, both of us went back to bed. With just one difference, my nose is now stuffed with cotton to soak up the blood.
As I tried to sleep, I felt Khushi rolling over the bed constantly... trying to get into a comfortable place. Seeing that she was having a hard time finding a comfortable position, I pulled her into my arms, and.. she was warm. In fact, she was hot. Burning with fever. How could I have missed this??
THE END.
A/N: Relax everyone. As I got into writing this story, I realized that there are three different routes that I wish to see this story proceed. And hence, will be starting three new books. Will be available on my profile mid-August 2023.
(1) Beginning Of Love- This book would be more of a fictional reality. In similar style as this book.

(2) When I Met You- This book would be pure fiction. Full on romance and everything cheesy that my mind could think of.

(3) Just A Moment- more of my POV with hints of sarcasm. Just imagine a person who hates romantic film, watching a super cringe romantic film. That's the flavour of this, where I ridicule my own writing. Out of three mentioned books, I'm most excited about this one.

Updates for these books will start from mid of August 2023. Stay tuned...!
