My alarm ranged as I got up and look at the time its 8:00,I quickly took a bath and changed into a lime yellow anarkali.

I laughed at the way Neil was sleeping his hand was hanging down while his mouth was slightly parted and he was shivering a little,I went towards him and kept his hand hanging on his chest and pulled the comforter over him without waking him up as I know its off season and how hectic it get for them during series.
I closed the door behind and made my way towards the kitchen to see Maa making breakfast.
"Maa what are you making"I asked standing beside her.
"Aloo Paratha"She replied kneeding the dough.
"I will help you"I stated as she nodded .
"Do one thing make salad for Neil you know diet and all right"She asked as I nodded at her and took a bowl and the vegetables needed and washed them thoroughly.
I thinly sliced the cabbage and green onions,shredded the carrots added some cilantro,white vinegar ,canola oil and seasame oil with some salt and sugar and mixed them properly and kept it in the fridge.
"Maa I am done with the salad should I go and wake Sam up"I asked as she nodded and I entered Sam's room for the first time and it was so colourful and vibrant.

"Sammy baby get up"I sat beside her and crassed her hair to wake her up.
"Two more minutes"She mumbled snuggling into a comforter.
"Good Morning Avu"She greeted hugging me after almost ten minutes.
"Good morning baby"I hugged her back.
"Now comeon quickly get ready for breakfast"I stated as she nodded and I quickly got her ready as we went to the living room.
Maa,Uncle and Neil were already seated at the dinning table,Sam took a seat beside Neil and I sat beside her.
"Mom the salad tastes better today"Neil complimented having his salad while I served sam and I the aloo paratha.
"See Prakash ji it's not even a day since he get married and he already like the food made by his wife better me"Maa teased making me almost choke on the paratha and I didn't dare to look up but I could hear Uncle chuckle.
"Mom"Neil whined.
After breakfast uncle left for work while I accompanied Sam for her online classes she was sitting on the desk with a laptop in front of her and a teacher was teaching her while I sat on the bed staring at her and the one thing I noticed is that she is very attentive in the classes.
"Avni are her classes done"Maa asked entering the room.
"Yes Dadi my classes are done we can now go to the park"She exclaimed running towards Maa.
"Can I accompany you guys too anyway I will get bored"I asked as I have nothing to do.
"Sorry Avni but its just our Dadi-Poti time,right Sam"Maa asked as Sam nodded and high-fied her making me smile.
"Ok"The two of them left while I make my way back to Neil's room which was now mine too.
I entered the room and saw that Neil was nowhere to be seen,I took my laptop and sat on the couch searching for job as the next series will be my last series as a manager.
"What are you doing"Neil asked as I looked up to him entering the room wiping the sweat,I stared at him as he looked really hot.
He coughed as I diverted my eyes from him with a red hue on my cheeks.
"I am looking for a job you know next series is going to be my last as the manager"I answered composing myself.
"Avni if you want I can talk to the board about it I am sure team will also support you,you are the best manager we have had"He sat beside me taking my hand in his.
"No Neil its not ethical,rules should be same for everybody"I stated clearly while he nodded understanding.
"Ok if you say so but you dont need to be worried about the job I am sure Dad would love to hire you"He said as I look at him in shock.
"But Neil"
"I know what you are thinking and I am not recomending you just because you are my wife but because you are capable of handling it"He explained while I nodded at him with a smile.
"Oh and by the way the salad you made was really nice"He complimented while I thanked.
"Are you free"He asked and I nodded my head "would you like to watch a movie with me"He asked and I agreed as I had nothing better to do.
"I will make some popcorns,till then you go and take a bath you stink"I scrunched my nose as he chuckled.
Skipping to now we were sitting in the living room as I played the button and the conjuring movie started playing.
"Why are we watching a horror movie"He asked me and his face was completely.
"Dont tell me the great batsman Neil Khanna and the vice captain is afraid of horror movies"I laughed as I realised he was scared of horror movies.
"I am not afraid of horror movies"He replied showing fake bravery as I chuckled.
"Ok then we can continue watching it right"I asked and he nodded.
In between the movie I could feel him holding my hand tightly and his eyes were squinted.
"And someone was saying they aren't scared of ghost"I muttered but he probably heard me as I felt his glare directed towards me.
After a few minutes I looked at my side and saw that Neil was fast asleep holding my hand and his head on my shoulder,my heart fluttered at that.
And soon enough I kept my head on his and sleep took over me.
