KARTIK

I slightly pushed open the door to see my beautiful wife in a gown sitting on a high raised chair, savouring her favourite mug brownies.

I leaned on the wall watching her moan at a bite of the dessert. She enjoyed the brownies without any care about her makeup or attire. Slowly licking the spoon she taste the final remains of creamy sweetness.

My chuckle gained her attention.

She looked at me with the spoon still caught between her lips.

" I couldn't resist the craving. " She passed me a sheepish smile.

I walked up to her and with a help of tissue wiped her lips that had a chocolate mess.

" I messed up my lipstick, now I have to reapply it. " She complained and searched for the lipstick in the dressing table.

" This one? " I held a shade in my hand.

She nodded and was about to take it from me but I pulled back. She frowned.

" Give me a kiss first. "

" Kartik! We are getting late, give it to me now. " She tried to grab the makeup accessory.

She whined but I was in no mood of letting her take it without gaining my kiss.

" There's so point in applying your lipstick now. Anyways it will get ruined when we share a kiss and you have got to reapply it again. So why not just kiss me now, saves time. "

She gave me a 'you- are- impossible' look.

" Naira are you ready? Everyone's down." A female knocked at the door.

" Y-yea Siya! I am just coming.

5 minutes. " It was Dhruv's Fiance.

" Alright! " With that Siya left.

" When did you lock the door? " Naira asked me.

" When you were busy enjoying your brownies. "

She glared at me but I gave her a sly smile, " you asked for it, I warned you."

" Okay fineee!! You can kiss me." With that she crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

Trust me when I say she looks so cute when she gets annoyed or angry.

I inched closer to her and slowly brushed my lips against her, kissing the sides of her lips I backed off.

She flung open her eyes, " Here, have your lipstick. "

" What the heck! " I giggled but turned putting on a clueless face.

" You said you wanna kiss! " She said.

" It can wait. We are getting late. " I shrugged.

" W-wait.... What ! " I had left her on the edge.

" It's not like you wanted a kiss now! "

I was trying hard to control my laughter seeing her flushed face.

" No.. I-I.... you said you want... "

I broke into laughter and she hid her face between her palms embarrassed. " Ayy, my baby. "

" What's with this game. " She huffed.

" You teased me in the morning. " I pecked her lips.

Forgetting she was seated on a high raised chair, She hastily tried to get up and tripped.

" babe, careful! " I steadied her.

Her gown was a long velvet blue ball gown, embellished with rich and eye capturing crystals.

Such attires aren't her preferences, but the designers team insisted introducing Oberoi's Daughter in law to the world in basic outfits will open room for unwanted criticism.

Whatever!

" Are you comfortable in this? " I asked her for the final time. " I don't give a shit about the critics or anyone, you can still change. "

" Baby It's only a matter of few hours. I don't want anyone to pass commen-"

" No one will dare to point fingers at my wife! " She shook her head.

" It's not about me, I don't want people to pass comments behind the back of our parents. And moreover this was mom's choice, she chose this with so much love. " I sighed.

" Tell me, How do I look? " She twirled around.

I smiled and kissed her forehead, "If I have a choice to sit here and stare at you without a blink of eye, all day, I would gladly choose that. "

She blushed and placed her head on my chest, " Thank you baby, for making it all special, today. "

Holding her in my embrace I said," I wasn't expecting a special message in the blazer. "

She gave a gentle tug at the ends of the blazer. " you know what's special about this blazer ? "

I shook my head in a No.

She smiled and ran her hand over the suit matrial, " You were wearing the same coat when I bumped into you that night after eloping from the wedding. That night when you got into the fight, the knife had ripped of the buttons slashing the fabrics.... I had it sewed and repaired. " My eyes widened in realisation.

" This suit means a lot to me. You saved me wearing this. I clutched to this suit that night like my life depended on you.

This will always remind me of the day you came into my life, the day we got united, be it that night or tonight. " I was dumbstruck for a minute.

I knew she wanted to chose my wedding outfits but I never knew there was such a thoughtful detail behind choosing this suit.

As I have said, she always give me a reason to admire her.

I hugged her, " This Suit is priceless, for it shall remind me of the day I held you in my arms. " she snuggled into my chest.

---

The huge hall was filled with our family and Friends, business associates, elite clients, media personals.

" Are you nervous? " I asked her knowing she wasn't used to such attention.

She shook her head, " Not with you by my side. " Her hands locked with my biceps. I smiled satisfied with her answer.

Walking downstairs hand in hand with her I showed the world, the women who stole my heart.

Flashes from cameras and clicking sounds became prominent.

I slid my hands down her waist,

" Meet the love of my life, my wife

Mrs. Naira Oberoi. "

After I addressed the crowd, The press threw questions at her and she needed no help. As She elegantly handled the situation I took a backseat.

Looking at her I couldn't help but smile at the fact that,

Love never made any sense until she came crashing into my life.

After a week,

NAIRA

" Kartik? What are you doing here?" I asked seeing my husband leaning against the car bonnet in the parking lot.

I am surprised because It's 5 pm on a Friday evening and my workaholic husband isn't at the office working !!

" Hey gorgeous! " Bending down he captured my lip for a quick kiss.

" Why didn't you take the driver along? " He questioned.

" Arjun and Aditi were going to visit his parents for lunch so he dropped me on the way. " I explained.

" Someone seem to have purchased an entire shop ! " Saying he helped me with the shopping bags.

" Hey this isn't much! I just bought some blankets and table cloth for dining. Cooler bags and drinks - some coke, sprite and Fresh juice for Mom, diet pepsi for Dad. Then Some baskets, Napkins, paper towels, flashlights, Basic cutlery. Frisbee, rackets, beach ball in case we feel like sporting and..... " He loaded the last bag into the trunk of the car.

" and haa! How's this? " I gleamed showing him the matching outfits I bought for us.

He looked at me amused, " did I go overboard? " I pouted.

He chuckled and pulled me closer, " you look so kissable when you pout. " my cheeks turned red at his words.

" Baby Is this picnic really necessary? Can't we just stay at home and spend some time together... Maybe just cuddle and watch some movie.... Just us! " He made a puppy face.

I crossed my arms , " When was the last time you went on a family picnic? " He pretended to recollect and scratched his head.

" See! I knew it! "

I pressed my hands on his chest, giving him a stern glare I spoke,

" The resort is in it's final stage of construction, which means my work is almost done but you will have hectic days next month.

Rudy just came back home last week, Dhruv is getting married in 2 weeks. Mom and dad are leaving for their trip next week.

Now you get why this Sunday is just perfect to wear these matching outfits and enjoy some family time ! " I finished with a deep breath.

He raised his hands in surrender. " Okay Fine, chill! We are going to the picnic day after tomorrow. " I smirked at him.

" Good. "

It works, I am a good starer !

He looked sideways ruffling his hair. I pecked on his lips gaining his attention.

" You said I looked kissable. " I gave him a innocent look.

He cupped my face and What followed was a short but deep kiss. " Now that's what you call a kiss, Sugar plum ! " I giggled at his use of cheesy sweet nicknames.

He started the engine and pulled back neatly from the parking lot. It's a 45 minutes drive to home from the Mall. As we drove up the city roads he took my hand, intertwined his fingers with mine. I smiled at him and turned my eyes to the world outside the window.

The car took a smooth turn leading onto the wide Avenue that ran next to the fresh green farm lands. The sun had already began to set into the fields owing to the fact that it was winter time of the year.

The shopping had literally made me tired and the gentle breeze kissed me to slumber. Kartik continued to graze the back of my hand with his thumb, our hand still intertwined.

The soft melody from the car's music system slowly felt distant as I drifted into a light sleep.

In the while, I vaguely felt his fingers brushing away the disturbing strands of my hair once or twice.

The heavenly short sleep came to an abrupt end when the car swerved without a warning jerking my body forward.

My eyes widened like saucers as my brain instantly pictured the crash.

It all happened in a flash of second.

Kartik turned completely towards my direction, letting his body take most impact of the collision.

" Naira ! "

His voice was the last thing I heard.

My head bumped hard against the car window, a buzzing sound filled my ears and it all went black.

" K- Kartik "

His name was the last thing I croaked weakly.

My numb body and his unconscious one was under a million tiny pieces of shattered glass that had rained on us.

My disorientated self kept fading in and out of consciousness.

It felt like a never ending loop.

Blood.

The last thing I saw

before darkness engulfed me entirely.
