As the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, Meghna stirred awake, the previous day's memories filling her heart with warmth.She glanced at Suriya, still sleeping peacefully beside her, his arm draped protectively over her waist. Smiling to herself, she gently extricated herself from his hold and tiptoed to the kitchen.

She brewed a fresh pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the air as she poured it into a mug. Quietly, she made her way back to their room, setting the mug on the bedside table before gently shaking Suriya's shoulder.

"Good morning, Suriya"

she whispered, her voice laced with tenderness.

"Your coffee is ready."

Suriya's eyes fluttered open, a sleepy smile spreading across his face as he took in the sight of Meghna.

"Good morning, Wifey"

he murmured, reaching for the coffee.Meghna giggled softly, her cheeks tinged with a faint blush.watching him sip his coffee with a contented sigh.

Suriya began to get ready for the day, Meghna dressed herself in a simple white kurti paired with blue palazzo, wrapping a shawl around her shoulders. She moved about the room, packing Suriya's lunch and water bottle with care. As she did so, Suriya caught her reflection in the mirror, a pang of sadness tugging at his heart.When she finished, he sat on the bed and gently took her hand, guiding her to stand between his legs. He looked up at her with affectionate eyes, his hands resting on her hips.

"Meghna"

he called softly, drawing her attention.

"I know it's only for a few hours, but I'll miss you."

Meghna looked at him with wide, doe-like eyes, her heart swelling with love for this man who had quickly become her world.

"I'll miss you too,"

she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper.Suriya's expression softened as he leaned in a little closer, his eyes full of warmth.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You don't have to miss me too much."

Meghna smiled, shaking her head slightly.

"I didn't say anything,"

she protested softly.

"But I felt it,"

Suriya replied, his voice full of warmth. As he prepared to leave, Meghna walked with him to the entrance.

"Take care"

she said, her eyes following him as he stepped out the door.

"I will"

Suriya assured her, waving as he disappeared from view.Meghna stood in the entrance, a sense of anticipation bubbling within her. Just then, Chithra, Suriya's mother, approached with a knowing smile.

"How about we go to the market today?"

she suggested.

"You mentioned wanting to cook dinner and snacks."

Meghna's face lit up with excitement.

"Yes, Amma. I'd love that,"

she agreed, grateful for the distraction and the chance to bond with her new family. the morning sun cast a golden glow over the bustling market, Meghna and Chithra walked side by side, their laughter mingling with the sounds of vendors calling out their wares. Meghna felt a growing sense of warmth and belonging as she listened to Chithra's animated stories about Suriya's childhood.
