"A powerful story that will make you hope for and believe in LOVE"

CHAPTER ONE:

It is the first day of my marriage and so, fidgeting with my saree i descended down the stairs. I glanced entire living area its really small, lavish and comfortable just the way i like. At the left corner there is a window from there u can see a small park, with the fine old oak here, and a avenue of limes towards the south west front, with a sunk fence between the park and pleasurable ground, so that from the drawing room windows the glance swept uniterruptedly along a slope of greensward till the limes ended in the level of corn and pastures. which often seemed to melt in lake under the setting sun. This is the happy side of the house, form the south and east looked rather melancholy even under the brightest morning. This view caught my heart and brought a small smile on my face. I moved further to find a kitchen, it is very beautiful with every single thing on its place, you really no need to search for anything. At the center you will find a dining table of four chairs. i turned around to see further but, heard a thud sound from our room so i rushed to see what had happened.

"Hey!! you fine??" i asked my husband who is standing near the window of our room.

"humm!! yeah!! am fine its just the pot fell down cause of the wind" he shuddered.

Nodding my head i just came down to prepare a breakfast for us. May be this is mostly a 3rd time we have talked since our alliance fixed. Our marriage is arranged one, it happened so quickly that we didn't realize and didn't had a time to understand each other.

"Ahem!! ahem!!" I heard someone clearing throat to get my attention. I looked back to find him having water, watching me through corner of his eyes. My eyebrows automatically went up in a way asking if he wants something.

"Uh!! Breakfast ready..??" Keeping the water bottle aside. He leaned over me to take apple that kept beside while brushing his hand with mine. I pressed my lips, i wasn't comfortable yet. May be he sensed my discomfort so he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Yeah!! It is almost done" i fumbled with the words tucking the hair strands behind my ear.

"Need any help??" He added, trying to make conversation.

"No!! Its fine.." i muttered not wanting to talk but, something clicked my mind.

"Uhh!! Manik" he instantly turned around hearing his name. For the first time i have ever called him by his name, a small smile approach his lips and glint of happiness in his eyes.

"Yeah..??" He asked me raising his eyebrows, keeping his hand in his pocket and shrugging his shoulder up.

"Any diet you mantain.. i mean food you don't like to have..??" I asked being all nervous.

"Nope!! Anthing is fine. I'm big time foodie" he replied in cordial way to lighten up the atmosphere, while he helped me to set dining table. We had our breakfast fast in silence.

"Ain't you attending the office today..??" I asked him.

"Yeah.. In an hour. Its just a meeting out there may be of two hours, uhh!! after that if you want we can go out for lunch date.." he asked being doubtfully.

"Okie.. i'll be ready by one" i said giving a little smile.

"Okie!!! Then ba bye i'm getting late for meeting.. take care" he said while adjusting his tie and blazer, kissed my forehead before leaving. I know he was trying to make me comfortable around him.

After an hour prior roaming around the house and cleaning everything. I sat on the window side of living area with my long half left read novel. A cold breeze touched my face taking my attention, beautiful view took my heart. I watched children playing around and pranking on eachother, i smiled at the thought when i used to be the naughtiest one. Life is really strange, but the truth is we have to go with the flow.
