"Yeah yeah, I will be there at 8.00am", hearing Vikranth's voice Meera came out of her thoughts.

She turned to see Vikranth, standing before his room, all dressed in formals, and he's busy talking with someone on the phone.

When he gazed Meera, his lips automatically curled into a breath taking smile, his eyes shined with a tint of love that instantly augmented Meera's heartbeat, she felt something in the pit of her stomach, her breathing became uneven, and she clenched her fist unable to understand what's happening in her. Causing all this commotion unknowingly Vikranth casually continued to talk and went into his room.

Meera jumped from the couch and scurried into Vikranth's room, unable to be away from him.

"How is your day," she asked and seated on his bed.

"Not bad", Vikranth replied and he is too busy in searching something in his cupboard.

He took a brown file from his cupboard and glanced inside. "Here it is", he murmured and closed the file.

"What is that?"

"Nothing, it is a document about our estate in Kothagiri", Vikranth said and placed that on his table.

Meera nodded her head and looked him with a smile, and her eyes were admiring how mesmerizing he was. But soon she shifted her gaze when she noticed Vikranth is looking her. She doesn't know why she's feeling to hug him, kiss him but at the same time she's too shy and embarrassed to do that until he makes a step.

Vikranth briefly noticed her gestures, he can read her, and he understand what is running in her brain.

He took a few steps and stood before her. Meera raised her gaze but Vikranth knelt down in front of his love.

"What happened, baby. Do you have anything to say?" he asked with a smirk.

"Yes", Vikranth was surprised because usually, Meera tries to avoid this kind of situation.

"Yo...You are enticing me Vikranth. I am feeling so dejected when you're away from me", Meera confessed knowing what she said and the next moment she hugged him. But Vikranth didn't hug her back

Realizing this Meera looked him breaking the hug but his expression was nonchalant, after a minute of silence, "From now on sleep with me", Vikranth said. And she did nothing than nodding her head in acceptance.

That night after having their dinner, Vikranth went earlier to sleep and Meera came after finishing some work in the kitchen.

She hesitantly went into his room, to her surprise he's still awake and reading that brown file. She sat on the other side of the bed and Vikranth turned his gaze to her.

"Tomorrow there's a small football tournament in the club, do you want to come with me", Vikranth asked.

"Hmm I am coming"

Telling that she laid on the bed, facing the other side of the room, where their wedding picture was hanging on the wall. She looked intently at the picture.

This is what you're Meera. You born to be with him, her heart echoed the words. But Meera closed her eyes, her heart whispers and tried to immerse in a deep slumber.

Next morning she opened her eyes when someone rocked her shoulders.

"Meera!"

"Meera!"

Hearing this she slowly opened her eyes to see Vikranth. His muscular body was naked without any clothes and his hair was wet. Only a towel a wrapped is around his waist.

"It's 8.30, do you want to sleep sometime?" he asked caressing her head.

Meera nodded her head as no and quickly raised from his bed. Yesterday night she doesn't know how she slept that earlier. She analyzed her position it is so close to Vikranth, she slept in the other corner of the bed but how I came this close to him.

"What you're thinking", Vikranth asked making her come out of her thoughts.

"Nothing", she said and rushed to her room.

After taking bath, Meera all dressed in a yellow with green combination salwar leaving her hair free without tying, Meera applied a light makeup. She saw snowbell under her bed and carrying it she came out of her room.

To her surprise, Vikranth was preparing coffee for them. She smiled and took some milk from the fridge for her pet.

When she was feeding snowbell Vikranth handed the cup to her.

"When is that match?" Meera questioned Vikranth.

"Evening, we will be leaving at 3.00pm", Vikranth said. Then they had their coffee in a silence.

Throughout the day Vikranth gave a secret mischievous smile that Meera can't understand. She felt really awkward because of that.

Did I do anything silly last night? Or

Did he do anything to me last night?

She asked herself but nothing came to her head.

At 3.00pm Vikranth came out of his room all dressed in his football clothing.

"Shall we go", he asked when he noticed Meera on the lawn.

"Ok, but One minute", she said and rushed to the kitchen. She poured some milk for snowbell and came out with that. After placing it on the lawn, she came near Vikranth who's tying his shoelace and watching her actions.

It was a beautiful Saturday evening. Vikranth drove the car in a silence.

"Will many people come to see the match?"

"I don't know, the club owners conducting this for a charity work. They asked me to contribute something, I am playing and donating a sum for this match along with my business friends"

"Oh that's nice", Meera said.

When they reached the club it is little crowded and Vikranth walked inside holding Meera's hand.

He handed his phone and wallet and went to player's room. He asked Meera sit in a place he chosen for her.

She sat quietly looking her surroundings. There's more crowd than she thought. Soon she felt so bored after some time of blankly watching the people walking here and there. The match will be starting at 5.00pm and it is only 4.30pm now.

She wanted to do something at that time her eyes landed Vikranth's phone, without thinking further her hands turned on Vikranth's brand new iPhone X.

Keeping her picture as screen saver surprised Meera, she swiped but it asked for a password.

First she tried a random number but it showed wrong. Then she tried his birth year 1988 and birthday and month that all displayed as wrong. Then she just tried her birthday and month, surprisingly it unlocked.

Why he's keeping my birthday as password, she looked at the ground to trace Vikranth, he's standing and discussing something with his friends.

She continued her work in finding the hidden things on his phone. She entered into his gallery where she found a shocking thing that made her gasp.

Yesterday night he has taken some pictures of Meera sleeping in his arms . In one photo he's kissing her cheeks and in other he's hugging her. There were about ten pictures like that.

Oh god what he did last night...? You sleepy head Meera see what he has done?, She gritted and looked him again.

This time Vikranth waved his hand and Meera too waved her hand lightly. Then he turned and start getting ready for the match.

Meera again started digging into his gallery. She found that he's still keeping the pictures that were taken three years before. She found some pictures of her sitting in lawn with snowbell. And pictures of her while cooking.

Meera's mouth was wide open to see all these things.

God, he has taken all these things without my knowledge and I am stupid for finding this very late.

She raised her head to see him again, now the match is started and Vikranth was running here and there.

Is it really you? The same dominant, ruthless Vikranth I loved three years before?

Am I a fool for not identifying your feelings? I think I am a stupid Vikranth who failed to understand how much you changed and repented of your mistake.

Meera eyes welled with happy tears. She again looked for something that will surprise her. But she found Vikranth's Mom pic that she didn't expect. His mom was standing with his dad with Vikranth but what that surprised her is along with Vikranth there's another boy in his mom's embrace.

The boy looked somewhat similar to Vikranth. Who is he? She thought and looked again at Vikranth. That moment he kicked a goal.

A roar of claps jerked Meera. She didn't smile and only the doubts filled in her face.

Then she searched for any other pictures of his mother but she found nothing other than that. She turned off his phone and continued to watch the match.

But she can't concentrate on how the match is going, her eyes running along with Vikranth and her mind creating fantastical theories about his childhood and her heart is telling her to believe and love him

Vikranth. Why he is hiding this from me. He's proving that he's loving me more than anyone in this world but in the next moment it turned out to be a total disaster.

What are you Vikranth? Why you're confusing me to the hell?

She is blankly sitting and looking at the ground only her body was there but her thoughts are somewhere.

The match ended and Meera too came out of her thoughts. She looked around to see a huge crowd filled in the stadium. The match went interesting so many people came here to see that.

Meera doesn't know who won the match because she's out of this world and she doesn't have much knowledge about football.

Thankfully they announced that Vikranth's team has won the match and he got the best player award.

Everyone started retrieving from the stadium and Meera got up from her seat and went to see Vikranth.

He was in Players room and Meera found him when some girls were taking a selfie with him. She's irritated to see that and her face reflected that clearly.

"Meera!!" Vikranth called her out. Placing a small smile she went near him.

"This is my wife Meera", he introduced her to the girls and they gave a small smile.

Then Vikranth introduced Meera to all his friends and they all looked her like with a surprise.

Mostly All his friends were married and having kids. Meera felt little awkward to mingle with unknown people and added to that the pictures that she saw today kept her silent.

They decided to leave after having some refreshments. Vikranth looked so happy and Meera tried to forget that and looked normal for his satisfaction.

Before reaching home, Vikranth stopped near a hotel and bought dinner for them because it is already late.

Meera was in an oscillation to ask about this to him or not. She's afraid whether he will scold her for looking his mobile without his permission. But she Opening this will cause problems between them and Meera doesn't want anything that will again hurt her again. Sometimes being silent is the best thing to avoid conflicts.

After reaching home Meera walked with him in a silence and she's too confused. Vikranth locked the door and placed the food on the table.

Meera doesn't know how she entered his room until suddenly Vikranth pulled her close to him. She blinked her eyes and that moment she came back to reality.

"Why you're tempting me", he asked and started kissing her hungrily.

Meera kissed him back but she's unable to come out of her thoughts. Vikranth started kissing her neck, shoulders and his hands started roaming over body.

Meera felt that He's going to that. But Vikranth abruptly stopped everything and left her from his grip. Without uttering any word he went to his closet.

Meera stumbled on the bed and doesn't know what just happened.

.

.

.

.

Days passed and it's going to be a two week. Everything is normal except Vikranth, he's not properly talking with her like before. He is not giving any surprise kisses and hugs. Her heart is sinking in a deep misery because she can't ask him why he's acting like this.

Sometime Meera is sleeping her room itself and Vikranth didn't mind about what she's doing.

She did nothing wrong, and can't understand what he's expecting her to do. Perhaps is he expecting me to say that I am in love with him?

Is that what he wants then I can confess that I am madly in love with him but it is not just love, I want more than that... I want to know more about him even that is an unpleasant truth that he want to erase.

I want to be with him even in his hard times than just in happy moments.

I completely want you Vikranth.

That afternoon Vikranth came home and that surprised Meera, he never be home at this time. He went straight into his room and didn't mind seeing Meera's face. But Meera decided to ask what is going on.

"Vikranth what is wrong with you?" Meera asked when Vikranth was taking his travel bag from his closet.

He looked her for a second and continued to pack his bag with his clothes.

"Vikranth!! what you're doing?" she asked holding his hand.

"Pack your bag, we are leaving from here?"

"To Where?"

"To visit my grandparents", he replied.
