I woke up after a while, the hospital bed wasn't really comfortable tbh. Plus, somebody was sleeping on the couch which was kept next to the bed.

It was Paras.

"Paras..." I whispered and he didn't even move.

"Paras !" I said a bit loudly this time and he suddenly woke up.

"Yeah yeah ..." He said looking around.

"Oh you have woken up , let me call the doctor..." He said and left. What was he doing here anyways ?

The doctor came, he checked if I had fever which I thankfully didn't. He asked me to take my meals properly and told me about the medicines and after that I was finally discharged.

We both sat in the car after that. HIS car to be precise lol. I was putting the seatbelt on when I asked him.

"Where's my car?"

"Well it's safely parked at the parking lot of the apartment building." He said. Thank god for knocking some sense into this stupid.

The drive was silent and we reached the apartment building soon. None of us spoke a word till we reached HIS aprtment.

"Well, welcome back to our home. Are you hungry?" He said in one go. Wait ? Did I hear it properly ?

"What did you just say ?" I asked as I couldn't believe my ears.

"I asked if you're hungry." He said casually.

"No .. no ... Before that ??" I asked again.

"Oh ... Welcome back to OUR home." He replied , stressing more on the word 'our' .

"Really, 'our home' , not 'your house'?" I said and raised my eyebrows , I already told you , I can't raise a single eyebrow , I have to raise them together only !

"Look I'm sorry about that okay?" This was surely a dream!

"Oh my God! The great Paras Singhania spoke 2 unbelievable sentences in a single day !" I said dramatically and he just chuckled.

"You can't go to work tomorrow." He said , more like ordered.

"And who exactly are you to tell me that ?" I said and this time I probably raised a single eyebrow ! Yay !

"I don't know ... Your husband I guess?" He said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah right! But doesn't my dearest husband know that I don't appreciate him bossing around me?" I said walking closer to him.

"Oh trust me I'm not! Your father asked me to tell you , more like order you not to go to office tomorrow !" Why did he have to drag dad into it?

"Why did you tell all this to dad?" I said while looking at the floor.

"Because I knew that you wouldn't listen to me..." He said, yeah right ! I would never listen to him ... Why should I even ?

" But that doesn't give you the right to drag my father into it. Now he'd just think that I'm irresponsible ! Thanks for that buddy !" I said and went to my room and closed my door with a pout.

"Hey, don't act like a child from kindergarten ! Come on ! Open up and eat for God's sake !" He said getting frustrated and I opened the door, coz I was hungry !

"Progress . You have started to listen to me finally!" He said with a victorious smirk plastered on his perfect face.

"Don't be too flattered mister ! I just listened to my stomach ! It wants food!" I said and went to the kitchen.

After entering the kitchen , I started rummaging through the stuff kept there.

"Let's see what a master piece I can make today." I said while thinking what to cook.

"No master pieces woman. You're sick right now , all you can eat at this very moment is curd and rice." He said while folding his hands.

"Oh come on !" I whined , like gimme a break !

"No tantrums !" He ordered , he can be a good father... Oh my god ! Stupid brain please shut up !

"Well I don't wanna cook rice !" I said.

"And nobody's asking you to cook ! I'm gonna cook and you're gonna eat." He said. What had gotten into him !

"Why ???" I asked as I had nothing else to say.

"Because if anybody came to know that you got sick and I let you cook your meal yourself then my parents and your parents will together kill me ... Or worse take away the CEO position from me!" He said. Yeah ... Makes sense. I just nodded and went to the living room.

I sat on the couch and started binging stranger things on Netflix.

"You're also into all this stuff ?" I heard a voice ask. Yeah it was him, who else?

"Yeah , it's my favourite web series and it's like a science fiction which makes it realistic." I said.

"Well, you need to eat now." He said handing me my plate.

"Thanks..." I muttered.

There was a comfortable silence between us. But the room wasn't silent, it was echoing with the sounds of the demogorgons( monsters shown in stranger things).

"Are you always gonna be this sweet or would you be back to your rude self?" I couldn't help but ask him that.

He sighed.

"I ... I don't know ..." He finally said.

"Fair enough ..." I said in order to end the conversation before it became too awkward. Well I guess , it was awkward since the beginning itself.

"But something that I know for sure is that I'm never gonna let you skip your meals ever again!" He said and I smiled.

"By the way, you sing really well." He said while his eyes focused on the television. I was a bit shocked that he praised me.

"Really? Well ... Thanks ..." I said with a smile on my face.

I had started to like these small talks. Turns out, it wasn't that difficult to tolerate him. And now that I remember, ever since we got married, he was behaving properly with me.

After I was done , I was going to my room ... He suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Why don't you sleep in my room , you take the bed, I'll take the couch..." He said. Omg ?? Was this happening for real??

"Where's that Paras who was being an ass on the wedding night about the bed thing?" I asked.

"Ah well sorry, I wasn't in the right state of mind at that time. Look , I just want to make sure that you are fine. You are my responsibility." He said sincerely.

"2" I said and he raised his eyebrow in a questioning manner.

"You have apologized to me 2 times in like what? 2 hours?" I said.

"Yeah I mean... I'm not that bad !" He said. Yeah right, he wasn't THAT bad. I didn't say I like him or anything but ... He was fine.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. I can keep the door of my room open..." I said to assure him.

"Alright, call me if you need anything.". He said and went to his room.

And this thing ladies and gentlemen , made me think that we might ... MIGHT ... have a 0.000001% chance of sticking together till the end , like a happily married couple.

And then I went to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up. I did my stuff and went to the kitchen. He was home...

"Hey , shouldn't you be in the office?" I said.

"Well good morning to you too..." He said grumpily.

"Well someone woke grumpy." I muttered but it was loud enough to be heard by him.

"I did not, but this news ... Made me grumpy." He said.

"What news?" I asked.

"We're leaving for Bali day after tomorrow." He said.

"See you tomorrow morning bud , guess I'm still sleeping." I said while yawning.

"No you're not. These people are sending us to a fucking honeymoon." He said while buttering the breads.

"What the actual fuck ! What do these people want!?" I said getting frustrated.

"Well I don't know ... Grandchildren ?" He said with a straight face which made me feel like puking. I ... Having kids? That too with him??? It was like putting up all the impossible things in a single sentence.

"Anyways, we'd at least have like, separate beds right?" I said and he finally turned around.

"Dearest Nishtha, we're going on our honeymoon , not a business trip. So we'll obviously be having only one bed in our room." He said while giving me the fakest smile possible. Ughhh , so cringeworthy.

"You still didn't answer my question." I said while taking a bite of the bed.

"Pardon please." He said.

"What are you doing at home at this hour of the morning?" I asked again.

"Well, your dearest father in law gave me a long leave starting from today because we just have 2 days to do the shopping." He said. Oh yes ! And I hate shopping! Nooooo !!!!!

"I hate shopping!" I blurted out.

"What? Are you even a girl???" He asked and chuckled.

"Yeah, and shove your stereotypes in your ass misogynist!" I said.

"Language lady." He said.

"How old are you, 70?" I asked.

"Why ? Are you into old men?" He asked ... Ewww !!!!

"Ughhh gross!" I said and left the kitchen.

But I went back just to say ,"Nope , I'm not into old men, that's why I'm not into you oldie!" I winked at him and went to my room.
