The Love In Marriage

39-

Vikram was surprised to see everyone in the living room, chatting away when he had arrived from work.

He greeted his parents,slapped the back of his brother's head and gave his wife a smile.

"Make me a coffee,yeah?", Vikram said, looking between his wife and mother.

Keerthi smiled,walking into the kitchen as her husband went upstairs to freshen up.

Vikram freshened up,taking his laptop and charger with him as he sat on the couch. He wanted to spend some time with his family.

Though he probably wouldn't contribute to the conversation,he wanted to be in their presence.

Work had kept him busy the past few days.

"You still gonna work?",Vihan quirked a brow at his brother.

"Yeah", Vikram said as he sipped on his coffee, listening to his family talk about random things while he worked.

"Shit",Vikram cursed.

"What happened?",Sakshi asked.

"The wifi is weak, connecting and disconnecting multiple times."

"Oh."

"I'll just come in some time", Vikram made way to the study.

The Rathores resumed conversation, keeping themselves busy for the next hour.

Vikram descended just at dinner time.

"Work done?", Vihan queried. He barely saw his brother these days,their timings mismatching.

"Not yet. Will continue after dinner. Hungry",Vikram answered.

Vihan shrugged,making way to the dining.

"Is it important?", Keerthi turned to her husband.

"Keerthi",Vikram chided his wife softly," I wouldn't do it at home if it wasn't necessary",as he walked behind his brother, unaware of their silent spectator.

Vikram had disappeared after dinner again, leaving the others to themselves. Keerthi sighed, calling it a night after some time.

Vikram glanced at the clock in the study,shutting his laptop,One twenty.

He rubbed his eyes,making way to his room,sleep inviting him the second his body hit the bed.

Keerthi decided to have a talk with her husband. She missed him. She barely saw him the last few days. He was so busy with work.

They didn't even kiss that much the last few days. The most she got was a peck. She felt her lips curve up,her thoughts amusing her.

She sipped on her orange juice, awaiting her husband's arrival

Vikram collapsed on the couch, tired,throwing his head upwards,as he closed his eyes. He hummed in pleasure when he felt a hand in his hair, softly massaging his scalp.

Keerthi walked into the living room to find her husband,taking slow steps towards him as she gazed at him. She slipped a hand into his hair, involuntarily rubbing his scalp.

Vikram opened his eyes to his wife, taking her hand in his and placed a kiss on the back of it, replacing it back into his hair.

Keerthi's cheeks heated up at her husband's gesture,"Do you want anything to eat?"

Vikram pulled his wife's head down, placing his hand on the back of her neck , bending her towards him ,as he gave her a quick kiss, holding her lips captive in his,as he nibbled on them for a moment.
