Completing my work, I sighed and leaned on the bedrest. I turned my gaze to left and saw Shruti sleeping in the sitting position. Taking the book from her hand, I made her lie properly on the bed.

I lied on my side and closed my eyes. Feeling her skin beneath mine, I opened my eyes and saw my arm touching hers.

Should I let it be here or withdraw it back?

We have already started our relationship. There's no problem if I hold her.

But, what if she thinks that I'm taking advantage of her when she's sleeping? No.

Pulling my hand back, I turned to my right and closed my eyes.

Sigh.

How will we live like this?

It's been three days to our wedding and we can't even communicate properly, let alone other things. Is this what arranged marriage is?

I've tried initiating the conversation but I can't do it alone. She needs to respond too. If she doesn't make a try from her side, how will we take a step ahead in our relationship!

She wasn't so quite and composed in schooldays. I remember her smiling all the time in school with her friends.

How can I forget the time when her class got an extra free period after their games? She grinned so loudly which caught everyone's attention. And strangely, I too was having the same two periods free!

Does she remember me?

Ofcourse not.

She would've talked to me easily then. We shared something in common.

But the situation is just the opposite.

In this situation, we could only take baby steps. Not only me, but she needs to co-operate too. We can't live like strangers for a lifetime.

Turning towards her, I gazed her for the last time before drifting into sleep.

As the sunrays hit me, I opened my eyes and saw the bed beside me empty. Stretching my arms, I stood up and drank a glass of water.

I walked towards my bathroom and saw it locked from inside. Sighing, I went in the balcony and closed my eyes as the cold breeze hit my face.

I'm no more a bachelor.

Now, I have more responsibilities over me.

Not able to control my bladder, I rushed towards the bathroom and knocked the door. "Shruti, can you please come out? I need to use the bathroom."

"Just a minute." She shouted from inside. Although I'm not a child to not control my bladder, but it was out of my control now.

As I heard the other door of bathroom opening, I knew that she was in the closet. Running inside the bathroom, I used the toilet and brushed my teeth.
