Meera's heartbeat increased its phase, she felt a fluttering feeling in her stomach. Without her realization she looked at him, she is mesmerized, the way he smiles at her awoken the hidden feelings that she had for him before. She doesn't know why, but she had tears in her eyes.

For a second Meera is not in this world. Her feet are not on the floor. She doesn't know why she's suddenly feeling this way.

She's fighting with her past and present feelings, her heart is always pushing her to love him but her mind reminded the past and making her afraid. She felt so difficult to understand her emotions. But she doesn't want to love him again and don't want to cry again. The fear closed all the arising emotions and bring her back to the present and made her realize that he's VIKRANTH!! The man she loved and hated the most. The man who left her at the time when she desperately needed him. The man she should never love again.......

When she is in her thoughts, Vikranth turned to face her, Meera immediately shifted her gaze to the other side and tried very hard to mask her emotions. She felt shy at that moment and blushed lightly out of embarrassment.

Vikranth looked at her with a smirk on his face. He knows that Meera is admiring him for this past five minutes, he knows she's really trying hard to cover her feelings. He knows right now she is thinking only about him. He knows everything about her and can easily understand what she thinks but,

No one knows what he's having in his heart. Each second his self-control level is decreasing. How can a man resist himself when he's having a girl he loves as his wife, she is just a few centimeters away from him and looking only at him and thinking only him.

In this world she doesn't have anyone other than him, she loved only him and she lost her virginity to him, Vikranth means a lot to her and he clearly knows that and even she knows that too, but still, he can't do anything now. No one knows that how much he needed her but he can't do anything.

She looked down and she can't look his face and his intent staring made her heartbeat again to go abnormal.

Though she is not wearing any nice clothes, not wearing any jewels other than a small earing, the wedding chain, and the anklet. There's no makeup on her face. But she looked so beautiful to him.

For Vikranth's eyes, Meera is the beautiful women in this entire world. His heart now urged her to kiss her and at least hug her. But before he could do anything,

"Dinner is ready, shall we eat", Meera asked him. She asked this to avoid the silence. But that turned even more awkward because it sounded like in love. As a loving wife asking her husband to have dinner together.

Vikranth just nodded his head and walked without showing any emotions like a smile or excitement nothing on his face.

If you see in some people, whether they feel sad or happy their face don't show what they're thinking and Vikranth come in that category. Even he's too sad or too happy his face always remain normal.

For this reason, Meera can't identify what he's thinking and sometime she can't believe the words he's saying whether he is truly meaning that or not. Till now she can't believe Vikranth's love confession. Whether he really meant those words and she is confused totally to believe that.

Vikranth walked to the dining hall and Meera followed him, she gritted her teeth out of embarrassment. Everything is uncomfortable and awkward for her when she's around him.

Vikranth served his plate with the food and went out to eat. Meera looked him and felt that he's avoiding her, he not even looked her while serving the dishes and he always searches for a way to be near her, but now he's going away from her. She ate the food thinking about all these things, and in between, she noticed Vikranth of what he's doing.

He knows that Meera is noticing him but he didn't pay any attention to that and continued eating the delicious food, it is spicy and too good. After a long time, he's eating a very spicy and tasty dish.

"Why he didn't sit beside me", Meera asked herself when she's washing her plate. She sighed, "Stop it Meera, why you're thinking about him", her subconscious said but she can't.

She poured a glass of water and slowly drank that seeing the drizzling rain.

Vikranth entered the kitchen, he washed his hand and came near Meera. She moved lightly when he came so close to her. Vikranth drank the water looking Meera intently.

After he left, Meera exhaled the air that she trapped in her lungs. His staring made her very uncomfortable. "Why he is looking at me like that?" she asked herself.

She came out of the kitchen and turned off the lights, and Vikranth already turned off the living room lights. She went near the couch and Vikranth didn't turn to look at her and only watching the song.

She sat in the other corner of the couch, and a new song started to play.

The song is so romantic the lyrics were so apt for this situation, Meera started regretting sitting here. It turned the ambiance so awkward. She doesn't know whether to sit or to run away. Added to that Vikranth increased the volume and interestingly looking at the song.

When the hero tried to kiss the heroine, Meera reminded the time when Vikranth searches a chance to steal a kiss from her.

At the end of the song, they kissed and Meera gulped her saliva to see that. The song ended and the advertisement started to play but still, the place remained awkward. Vikranth didn't change the channel and looking at the TV.

Suddenly a huge thunderstorm made Meera jerk, she didn't expect this now. In a few seconds, the power went off.

Meera sat there without moving, Vikranth took his phone and turned on the Flashlight. He went near the cupboard to take the candles, still, he didn't fit the UPS in his house. He lightens the candle and placed that on the console table.

The candlelight filled the living room and made easy to see the objects. Vikranth again sat on the couch, this time he sat near to her. Meera is little afraid to go up, it's dark and the thunder sound increased her fear level. She remained like a doll on the couch. She decided to go up when Vikranth is going.

"What is the time?" Meera asked him to end the silence. She can even resist his staring but this awkward silence really making her uncomfortable.

He looked at his phone and replied that it is 8.30pm. Again the silence spread around the room.

Just 8.30, oh god he won't sleep at this time, Meera felt. And she's too shy to ask him to come with her. So she decided to talk to him again,

But this time Vikranth ended the silence, "Do you need the registered copy of our marriage, I am having that with me" he asked her, there's no need to say this but he wanted something at this time.

"OK", she nodded her head. Why he's suddenly talking about this, she again felt.

"Don't cry from now on, it's hurting me more. Now we are officially married. I am here for you as your husband. Remember that" he sounded so ordering and possessive.

Meera nodded her head. She too decided not to cry from now on, it is so tiring and she understood that even she cries for all her life, nothing will be going to change.

After a small silence, "Are you feeling sleepy?" he asked.

"No, but I am tired", Meera said.

Vikranth stood up, "Let's go up", he said because he doesn't want to do anything stupid in this darkness and cold. He doesn't know why his hands wanted to touch her and he's going crazy to see her lips. Even in this darkness, she is shining brightly.

God Meera why can't you hear my heart that calling you out incessantly, Vikranth thought when they were going up. Even in this cold weather, he felt so hot inside.

He clenched his jaw to see her back, her curves and her scent evoked the urge that he controlled for all these days.

When they reached near his room, Meera stopped and turned to face him.

Meera smiled lightly, her face glowed in the moonlight. "Good night", she said sweetly to him.

Vikranth heart and his control just melted to see that. If she left without a pause he would have left her, but now he can't. Meera stepped to walk to her room.

Vikranth instantly grabbed her hand and swirled her roughly to face him. Meera couldn't understand what he's doing. He pinned her to the nearby wall. Vikranth gripped both her hands tightly so that she can't push him away. He looked her eyes for a second and she looked at him confusingly, his grip is so strong and tight. And a dreadful feeling spread on her heart.

Vikranth didn't wait a single second, he smashed his lips roughly on her. At that instant Meera felt goosebumps all over her body, she tried her best level to push him, but his lip and grip never wanted to leave her. Vikranth intensified the kiss by locking his lips tightly on her.

Meera can't do anything, she gave up and stopped fighting, she closed her eyes and a lone teardrop brimmed from her eyes.

Knowing that she calmed, Vikranth loosened his grip on her hands and encircled his hands around her waist. Meera clutched his shirt when he bites her lower lip. Vikranth pulled her waist so close to him and started kissing her so hard.

She doesn't kiss back but gave authorization to him to do whatever he wanted, she bewildered of this entire situation.

The kiss turned them so hot, especially Vikranth. He didn't mind about breathing and kissed her like this is their last kiss. He doesn't know how long he trapped her with his lips, but he wanted this to continue forever.

Meera pushed him away when she is out of breath. Her eyes welled with tears. She didn't look at him and she doesn't want too. Her legs were trembling and she couldn't stand in that place. She rushed to her room wiping her tears.......

Vikranth looked at her with a smile on his face.
