Getting married was on her list of things to happen, but not as fast as it did. She was marrying a complete stranger.
To him it was obvious she didn't want to be married as soon as she was. He didn't even have a choice in the matter.
Join the jou...
Beautiful wife. Those two words had made my day and my time here go by.
I was going to go back home tomorrow, instead of next Saturday because I got called into work.
I was okay with that, since I was missing my husband so much. I decided I wouldn't tell him, but I'd rather surprise him.
---Asif's POV---
Oh my God! What is she going to think about me? I wrote this and sent it.
I hope she doesn't mind. I know we aren't close, but I think we've hit the friendship mark at least.
I got ready and went to work. Typical boring work day and tomorrow, I might have to work overtime. So not looking forward to that.
NEXT DAY
"Take some breakfast with you," Mom said.
"I can't! I am already running late," I said running out of the house.
I spent last night talking with my wife, until she was starting to feel sleepy and now I got late. It was so worth it though.
I got to work surprisingly on time.
"Your working overtime today," my boss said.
"I know," I said and he left.
What's the point of going home anyways? Not like I have anything to look forward to.
---Kanika's POV--
I arrived back and got a taxi to go back home.
I paid the driver and went inside. The house was completely empty, so I decided to take a quick shower and then make dinner.
I looked at the time and Asif was still not home. What is going on? I decided to think positive and began to set the table.

----Asif's POV---
I walked in and saw the table set up. I normally, don't even watch dinner but it was the way it was set up that caught my eye.
I laughed to myself, when I saw broccoli and carrots.
"Snacks," I said laughing to myself.
I went to put my stuff my down in my room and came back down.
Dinner actually looked good today, so I decided I'd eat.
I felt someone hug me from behind. I'm holding a knife and I know how to use it.
I turned around to see my wife.
"Surprise!" She said.
I stood there speechless.
"Look, I made dinner for us," she said.
That's why it's looking good.
"Come here," I said and hugged her."I missed you so much."
"Me too," she said.
I held her for a few more seconds. I better not be dreaming.
"Let's eat," she said.
Both of us sat down to eat and I asked about her trip and how her friend's baby was doing.
My mom walked in a few minutes later.
"Oh my God! Your back! Finally, my son will able to eat," she said.
"MOM!'' I complained.
Mom left and Kanika was looking at me.
"You weren't eating?" She questioned.
"I was," I said. "Just not home made food."
She crossed her arms.
"Okay. I'm sorry, it's just that I preferred your cooking," I said.
"Nice try. Now, I'm really not going to talk to you," she said.
"I mean it. That day they made lunch, I knew I'd die after eating their food so I decided not to eat what the maid makes," I said.
She smiled but tried to hide it.
"Now, please come and eat," I said.
"Fine, I'll give you a chance," she said and sat down.
She ate her veges first and I laughed. She looked up questioning me.
"Snacks," I said laughing and even she burst out laughing.
I'm so happy that she's back.
"Not that I mind, but what made you come early?" I asked.
"Work," she said.
"So it wasn't me?" I asked faking a sad voice.
"Nah. Didn't miss you that much," she said joking.
"Rude," I said.
She laughed at that. We both kept talking about random things. It was eventually time to sleep and I walked into our room to see her setting the sofa up. She smiled as I walked in.
I don't want her sleeping there.
"Uuummm," I said, getting her attention.
"Ya?" She asked.
"I don't want you to sleep there," I said.
"Your not sleeping here,"she said.
"It's okay," I said.
"You have work tomorrow," she complained.
"Oh and you don't?" I asked.
"I do, but..."
"No," I said cutting her off.
"Either I'm sleeping here or we are sleeping together," I said.
I mentally face palmed saying that.
"Fine, but with separate blankets," she said taking the blanket to the bed.
Okay, well then that just happen. She never fails to surprise me.
