"Am..ma... am..ma", Ananya called me by pulling my salwar top. She raised her hands up and wanted me to carry her.

"What baby you want mummy to carry you", I asked and lifted her in my hands and made her to sit my hip.

I was preparing dinner for Vikram and I have to leave from here before 8.00pm cause I am going to Coimbatore in 9.00pm flight.

I prepared the dinner holding my Ananya. She is just like her dad, they always wanted me to be with them and they not even allow me to do my own work.

After preparing the dinner, I came out and before I can sit and rest for two minutes I heard the calling Bell sound.

"I know it must your dad", I said to Ananya and walked to the door carrying her.

I opened the door, "Ai.. Appa vanthachu"(Ai...daddy came), I said.

Vikram smiled and kissed Ananya's cheeks but he didn't glimpse or smile at me.

I know he will act like this because, We had a fight yesterday, yeah the first fight in our two years of married life. And I know its all because of my stupid mouth.....

evening

"Rithu", vikram called me when I am playing with Ananya.

"what??", I asked him smiling.

"you booked a ticket for tomorrow's flite", he asked.

"hmm yes"

"I am going to cancel that", he said.

"why??, there's just ten days for the marriage, everyone were asking me to come, please vikram I am going", I said.

"No, we all will go after three days", he said.

"No vikram I am going, we already missed several things and everyone wanted to see Ananya", I strongly said.

"I am saying right!! you should not go", he said and started to do something in his laptop.

I really got irritated after hearing that, I know he doesn't want to leave me and Ananya but this is a very important function in our family, I have to go or Riya will kill me.

"Is this you're decision", I asked He blankly looked me conveying as yes. Seeing his reaction I got even more irritated.

"Vikram, see I am not a small kid, you don't have to tell me what I have to do and you're really irritating me a lot. I am going so don't cancel that ticket", I said without controlling my anger.

I didn't realized the depth of that words that I said to him. After realizing I saw his face. He got up with his laptop and came near.

"You can go", he said without looking at my face and went to the other room and closed the door.

I felt like a stupid. What I said is wrong, each second he's living for me and Ananya and trying to spend more time with us even if there's a lot of work for him. But I broken his heart now.

I went near the door,

"Open the door Vikram, I am sorry, please open the door", I said but there's no reply from him.

Banging the door for sometime, I realized that I hurted his feelings. I know about his stubbornness, he won't open until he calm down so I went to my room and slept with Ananya.

Next morning he didn't talk with me properly and answered with single word answers. He left for the work saying bye to Ananya only and I felt like crying..... I thought he will calm down when he comes he's back.)

Vikram went into the bedroom and I followed him there, he started removing his shirt and I blankly stood there but he didn't mind that I am standing.

"Dinner is ready, you want to eat now?", I asked.

Without seeing my face he answered as "No", Vikram stop killing me with your one word answers, I mentally said.

"You're still thinking about yesterday fight, I am sorry please.....", I said.

But he not even listen to my words and entered into the restroom.

I don't know what to do, what I said is wrong, I know and I even apologized for that, but why he's still angry.

I started to pack my bag. Vikram feeding Ananya by playing and talking with her. But I didn't ate anything and I am not feeling good.

"Will you drop us in the airport", I asked Vikram.

He just nodded and continued to talk with Ananya.

Vikram drove the car in a silence and I just looked out. Inside I am feeling so sad and upset.

Ananya was sitting on my lap and playing with her toy. When we reached the airport I got down from the car and Vikram also came inside with us.

Before entering into the checking, I grabbed his hand and looked him,

"I am sorry please understand me", I said with pleading eyes.

"We will talk about this later", Vikram said yet in a cold tone.

"Ananya say bye to Appa", Vikram asked her and bought her from my hands, he kissed her cheeks and bought a kiss from her. She waved her hand lightly and said bye to vikram.

That's all we went to the checking and Vikram left the place.

Rajesh uncle was waiting for me in the entrance, when he noticed me he smiled and he was so excited to see Ananya after a long time.

I asked about how he is and about his health. After reaching the house Lakshmi aunty welcomed us with a smiling face. She bought Ananya from my hands and started to coddle her. Ananya was so fond of her grandparents she is the favorite for everyone and They totally forgot about me.

"Rithu if you want to sleep go and take rest dear, I will keep Ananya with me", Lakshmi aunty said and I went up to sleep.

I thought of calling Vikram, so I took my phone and called him. To my surprise he attend the call,

"Do you reached home", he asked me.

"Hmm I reached", I said.

"OK I am going to sleep, I will call you tomorrow", he said and immediately ended the call. I felt so depressed and I laid down thinking about how to calm him down.

Two days passed, I am in my house leaving Ananya with Lakshmi aunty.

The idiotic bride Riya was standing before me and putting some facial cream on her face. I smiled seeing her ghost like face with that cream.

"Pumpkin stop smiling", she said irritatingly.

"You're already looking beautiful, why this cream and all", I said.

"I have to look more beautiful in my wedding right, so that's why", she said.

I am happy for her, finally after conveniencing her father, this marriage is going to happen. Raghav is really great, he captured his future father in law's heart with a great difficulty and patience. I think Riya is so lucky to have him.

They were arranging the wedding so grandly. And I am so excited for this most awaited wedding.

''I am going home Riya, I will come tomorrow", I said and there is just a week for their wedding.

"OK don't forget to come tomorrow"

I nodded and went out. I said bye to my mom and started my car. Vikram taught me to drive a car five months before and now I am well versed in driving.

Still now We didn't reconciled. I tried my best level to talk with him but there's no use. I don't know when he's planning to come here, and I am waiting for him. I wanted to see him very badly. I miss you Vikram.....

I parked the car and went in, Ananya was happily playing with her grandma. I went and sat beside them. I took my phone and clicked some pictures of them. I smiled seeing them together.

At that moment I felt someone's presence, I turned my head and saw Vikram standing in front of me and gazing us intently. He came inside and Lakshmi aunty was so surprised and happy to see him. The first he did was carrying Ananya in his hands and kissed her cheeks. Then mom and son started talking about the marriage arrangements and all.

After talking, Vikram went up to our room carrying his baby girl and I also followed him and I am going to ask why he's asking acting this way.

Vikram placed Ananya in the bed and I started,

"Are you still angry with me, it is enough you punished me with your silence. I am really sorry... I just said without thinking... Please forget and forgive me Vikram", I said with a smile.

Vikram looked me for a second and sighed, all of a sudden he pulled me into a tight hug. I was surprised😱

"I missed you Rithu", he said, that even more shocked. I planned on to beg him to forgive me but he simply ended everything.Vikram It is so difficult for me to understand you.

I pulled out from the hug, "Then why you didn't talk with me properly?" I asked.

"I just felt I am controlling you more and I needed some time to understand what I did wrong. Then I realized that I madly in love with you Rithu and because of that madness I wanted you to be always with me", he said.

I pecked his lips after hearing this. I don't know what to say, I am really lucky to have a husband like Vikram who loves me than anyone in this world.

Ah.....How sweet he is, god I can't handle this much of sweetness from him.

He started to kiss me hard, then I pushed him away because Ananya was there with us. But thankfully she is so busy in playing with her toy.

This fight made us realize our true love. I can't concentrate on anything because of this. And Vikram said he was constantly thinking about me for this whole three days. A relationship without a fight is like food without a salt it won't taste good and I realized that now, that's all the fight ended and we reconciled.

. . .

The most awaited day came, Raghav and Riya tied the knot. It was a grand ceremony. They invited so many people. Vikram was very busy in arranging everything and welcoming guests. I stayed with Riya since she said that she's so nervous. The pair looked so gorgeous and I think they are made for each other.

I seated beside the stage with Ananya, my mom, and Lakshmi aunty. I looked how beautiful the pair is and I am so happy today.

(Rithu's evening outfit)

And Vikram, I don't know why he's looking this handsome. I can't take my eyes off him. I constantly staring at my husband, how gorgeous he was while he smiles and while inviting guests. Really I am fallen for him so hard.....

( Vikram's outfit)

At the end of the ceremony, we all taken a family photo. Then Vikram asked the photographer to take a separate Picture of me and Vikram with Ananya in his hands. After finishing the ceremony, we all went to Raghav's house to send off Riya. These things reminded my life, but Riya didn't cry like me.

Then after finishing the dinner, we all decided to leave. I said all the best to Riya, just like how she said to me when I am nervous for my wedding night.

But Riya said thank you and she's eagerly waiting for it. Ah.... this girl has no shame and clearly knows how to shut off my mouth.

Vikram drove the car. I seated in the front with Ananya in my lap. Rajesh uncle and Lakshmi aunty seated in the back. This day was really good, I smiled and enjoyed a lot. During the ride, we mostly talked about today's events.

.

.

When we entered the house, Lakshmi aunty bought Ananya from me,

"today I will keep Ananya with me you go and sleep dear", she carried cutely sleeping Ananya into her room.

I didn't feel like sleeping now so I went near the balcony, Vikram went into the room to put a charge on his phone. After few minutes he came outside. I looked him by smiling brightly, He came near me with a smirk on his face. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him.

"Why you looking me like that", he asked.

"Nothing", I said and encircled my hands around his neck.

"Do you remember our wedding night Vikram, that place you grabbed me when I was about to fall, what an awkward moment that is...", I said pointing the door side.

Hmm....he nodded and smiled.

"

I smiled. "Its fate that united us", I said.

"Hmm... maybe, marrying you was a fate, but that's the best thing that ever happened to me. You're the best thing that I got in my life Rithu", Vikram said and kissed my lips. But soon he pulled out from the kiss and looked my eyes,

"I think Ananya needs a younger brother or sister for playing Rithu, what you say??, Vikram said and winked😉

I bited my lower lip to control my blushing.

Vikram didn't wait for a single second, he quickly carried me in his arms and walked into our bedroom.........

( Door closed 😄😭)
