Authour's P.O.V
Came the day of the reception. It was just like any normal day where naina woke up excited unaware of the real shock she was gonna face today.
No one wanted to remember yesterday or anything that happened. Adi remembered everything. Everything was back to normal pretending nothing happened and yesterday was just a normal breakdown.
Currently she was in the kitchen making adi's protein shake as he forgot to take it to the gym with him. She liked doing all these wifey things for him and so did he.
She walked down to the gym shaking the the bottle in her hand on the way.
She pushed the door open and music reached her ears. She looked around and saw her husband running on the treadmill. He looked hot!
Sweat trickling down his face. His hair damp on his forehead. Earpods in his ear. Grey sweatpants and black tees. He looked no less than a athlete practicing. She stood rooted her eyes pinned on him.
She bit her lower lip as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Meanwhile adi felt someone's gaze on him. From the corner of his eyes he gazed and smirked.
His wife was openly checking him out and he was loving it. He lowered down the speed to walking and eventually got off. He Walked to his wife who was still in her checking him out trance. He stood in front of her and waved his hand and she blinked her eyes multiple times.
She looked ahead and saw him in front of her, realizing what she was doing she blushed deep red making his day.
"It's okay I'm all yours to stare" adi winked. She blushed again and looked down.
"And I'm guessing that's for me" he said pointing to the bottle she was holding. She nodded and handed it to him.
He drank his shake in one go as his eyes not leaving her red face.
"Hmm it tastes different today!" He said. "Did you make it?" He asked coming close to her. She nodded stepping back.
He stepped closer and she took a step back again. He held her arm and pulled her Close making her gasp.
He leaned down and whispered in her ear "will you make it for me from now on? his husky voice sent shivers down her spine. She nodded meekly and tried to step back but he held her firmly.
"Because I loved it!" He said bopping his nose with her and leaving her. She stood there processing while he went out smiling.
Soon she shook her head as a shy smile spread on her lips. She bit her lip and ran out grinning like a teenage girl.
'Eeeeeeeeeee' her mind screaming happily.
~~~~~
Adi wore his suit which naina had kept on the bed for him. He smiled seeing her getting used to what he wanted. She's incorporating new habits of mine in her list and doing her wifey duties well.
'I think I should do that too' he thought.
But how? Should he tell her how beautiful she looked everyday? Tell her he loves her? He already did but dosent say that daily thinking she might not be ready at that level of verbal Initamacy yet. He had confessed his feelings though cause he wanted to let them out, let her know what he thinks about her but not sure if she feels the same. Should he kiss her on her forehead before going to work and forehead kisses or hugs after coming from work. Bring flowers for her time to time as a token of his love?
Brainstorming his husbandly duties in his mind he kept staring at himself in the mirror oblivious of nainas presence in the room.
She tapped on his shoulder and he came out of his thoughts.
"Adi come down breakfast is ready and I've packed your lunch" she said waking away but a hand stopped her. She halted and looked back.
Adi stepped closer and took naina off guard by placing his lips on her forehead and letting them linger there for a few seconds.
'Oh god he always surprises me with his spontaneous gestures' naina thought.
'First duty as a husband done' adi thought.
They both kept standing in each other's arms until adi slowly took his lips off her forehead and smiled at her warmly. Naina too smiled back and he held her hand walking down for breakfast.
They both sat down at the table. Adis eyes twinkled seeing hi favorite paneer ka parantha. He quickly put two on his plate and took a morsel and moaned as the heavenly taste hit his taste buds.
"Mom I swear aap Masterchef mai jaao" adi said munching. Mom laughed.
"Naina ko bhej vahan, usne banaya hai saara breakfast aaj" adi stopped eating as soon as these words left her mouth. Naina too looked at him and gave him a nervous smile.
"True bhabhi please try out for masterchef, this parantha is amazing. Ranveer brar toh aapko apna personal chef rakhega" abhi said licking his fingers.
Naina blushed and muttered a small thank you.
'She's got Magic in her hands. I swear my healths gonna double up' adi thought.
He ate the rest of his breakfast quickly and went out. Mom gestured naina to go out too handing her the lunch that adi forgot.
She took it and went out and saw him leaning on his car as of waiting for her. She shyly approached him and handed him the lunch.
"You know I've never taken lunch to office ever, I usually order it but i'm willing to change that as long as you promise to keep cooking such delicious finger licking food" adi said pulling her close.
Naina blushed again and nodded but soon her blushy face turned to concern.
"Roz roz Bahar se khana is not good. Abse app lunch lekar jaoge" she said looking him in the eye.
"Ok done"
"And I want it finished when I open it" she ordered.
"Ok maataji. Andar dekha nai Plate chaat gya mai puri. The maid will have no problem cleaning it now and you're talking about leaving it" he said as if stating a fact. She giggled.
He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"Come home early today, we have our reception" naina reminded him and he hummed.
They pulled back and he cupped her cheeks "You too take care, don't work too much and call me if anything happens"
Naina smiled at his concern. Giving her one last kiss on the forehead he sat in and drove away waving at her until she was out of sight.
They are getting closer everyday. Even if it's through each other habits and routines or even small intimacies. But what mattered was the distance which was finally taking the beautiful invisible shape of love yet they both were unaware of it.
Smiling she went back in and spend some time with her family.

Naina's P.O.V
I'm literally so bored right now! Ughhh! Adis at work I don't wanna disturb him by calling him only cause I'm bored.
Vidhi is at college, everyone is busy is some or the other way only mom is the free one but that too I spent time with her. She told me about adis childhood and showed me his album. He was such a chubby child and a extremely notorious kid.
But now he's my notorious kid. Hehe. Anyways I watched some TV and cleaned the room and was still bored outta my mind. I looked at the clock which showed 12:00.
Ugh! What do I do now?
Suddenly something striked my mind. Priyansha! Omg I completely forgot about her after my marriage.
How is she? But most of all how's college? Oh god I missed so much. I wanna go back to college. Adi told me he had no problem with me studying and so did everyone in the house and I told him I would after our marriage.
I'll talk to adi about it again but for now I picked my phone and called Priyansha.
She picked up after 5 rings.
"Omggg somebody pinch me, the queen called. Oh god she called" I rolled my eyes at her dramatic nature.
"You too didn't call me huh, what about that? Is it only my duty to call you?" I said putting my question ahead.
"Ahem uh yeah hehe sorry" she said and Imagined her scratching her neck.
"Hmm I'll forgive you if only you come shopping with me." I told her. It's been so long since we spend Time together.
She immediately agreed.
"So how's college and everything?" I aksed continuing our conversation.
"Honestly babe, boring without you" she said and I could imagine the look on her face.
She and I always sat at the back bench or more like she used to drag me there so we could talk and stalk people. Huh good old days!
"Hm I'm planning on coming back soon" I said and as soon as I did I heard a loud squeal.
"Oh yess babe damn. Honestly you do have a lot to catch up on. But if you give the professor some good ass excuse he's gonna let you pass" she said.
"Oh and by the way the professor left and a new one came and he's so damn lineant man. You're gonna make it" she said.
Oh wow! That oldie Mr Prakash left. He sucked anyways. All he used to do was eat Chai and samosa all day in the staff room. It was as if college was a picnic spot for him. Anyways I'm happy and I cannot wait to go back.
"Acha priyansha baby today is my reception, I want you there! And all our friends." I said looking at my nails.
"And you're telling me this now? Wow! Nahi kal hi bata deti reception hone ke baad" She said and I could imagine a angry and sarcastic look on her face. She hated sudden and spontaneous news.
"Hehe sorry" i said. She huffed but agreed anyways.
"Now I'll have to leave early to get my make up done and my nails, ughh. You're lucky you're gonna get make up artists and designers at your house" she said whining.
I giggled.
"Hey babe you can come over and we'll get ready together, how about that?" I proposed.
"Umm are you sure? Won't Adi have any problem?" She asked nervously.
Ok first of all!! Only I can call him adi and his family and no one else. Huh nope. I didn't like the way she called him adi, felt a slight pang in my heart.
Jealous? Maybe. Ugh leave it.
"Nope why would he have a problem? Plus yeah you can call him aditya" I emphasized on his full name. I heard laughing as soon as I said that.
"Omgg babee! You're jealous already and that too of your best friend!" She laughed.
No I'm not! Ok maybe a little.
"No I'm not" i said huffing but it was replaced by a shy smile on my lips.
I looked at the time. "Ok now I gotta now, well talk at the reception"
"Ok byee babeee" she said and gave me a Virtual kiss.
"Bye" i said and reciprocated. I heard mom calling me downstairs so I went.
The dresses had arrived and vidhi was back from college and everyone was now starting to rush here and there. And it was now only 1 in the afternoon.
"Naina beta come here and try these heels see if they fit so we can change the order on time accordingly" mom said passing me some new heels.
Heels! I hate them! I can't even walk properly in them. I feel like my ankles are gonna fall off everytime I wear them.
Shaking my thoughts I tried the heels and for a difference they looked good! And were comfortable! So was my choosing style terrible or the shoe quality? Ugh does it matter?
I looked at the golden heels now wrapped around my ankle and a completely soft cotton padding for the toe areas. Wow! These are good.
"Mom they fit perfectly" I said smiling.
"Oh wonderful sweety now can you please do me a favor and call adi home now, it's gonna take a while for preparation" mom said checking the other dresses.
I nodded and went in my room and picked my phone and dialed adis number.
Why did my breath just fasten? He picked up after a few rings.
"Hello" came his husky voice which makes me weak in the knees making me close my eyes.
"Hi" I said taking a deep breath.
"Yes my love what happened?" I blushed at his endearment.
"Um when are you coming home?" I asked.
"Why? Are you missing me?" He asked teasingly. I blushed again but nonetheless played along.
"No mom was asking so that's why" I said.
"So you don't miss me?" He asked in a sad voice but I knew he was faking it.
"Nope not at all" I said and giggled.
"Acha ok then I won't come" he said in a final tone. My eyes widen.
"Why?" I asked hurriedly.
"Cause you don't miss me but I do everyday and even now I'm missing you" he said casually. I giggled again.
"Come home soon" I said.
"Nai" he said like a stubborn baby making me giggle again.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you don't miss me. First say you miss me" he said cutely like a baby. I couldn't help but coo internally.
How did I end up with this baby?
"Okay! Ab aajao" I said.
He whined again "noo say you miss me na" he cried. And I bursts into laughter. Omgg.
"Ok ok I miss you too" I said shyly in a low voice.
"Abhi aaya" I heard his immediate childish voice and cut the call making me giggle again.
~~~~~~~~~
The designers and make up artists had arrived and I changed into my dress. Adi too came shortly but was sent to another room cause I occupied our room.
The door flung open and priyansha walked in with big eyes.
"Omgg you look so damnnn prettyyyy! You're so gonna steal the spotlight tonight" she said in a loud voice as if I was deaf.
"Thanks babe you too look pretty yourself. You're so getting phone numbers tonight" I said and she blushed.
"Oh stop it let's get ready now" she said. She was wearing a suit while I was wearing a saree
The designers did their work and let me tell you their fingers worked like magic. So effortlessly In a few hours without letting any discomfort face me they made me look so pretty. And that too with minimal makeup. Wow! Good job!
I looked in the mirror and make up did change my looks a little. We were both ready and took a few mirror selfies.
We both went down and as I was Descending down the stairs I felt eyes on me. Ma was there too. She was doing much better now.
But the person who's attention and gaze I was waiting for was looking at me like I'm the third wonder on this planet. His eyes were glued to me. He didn't even blink and it was like he was in a trance. He kept staring at me with adoration and appreciation I swear I felt my heart melt. His gaze felt so intense I almost shivered slightly. He always does that. I took notice of his clothing.
He looked even 10 times handsome tonight. Sexy red Armani 3 peice suit with his signature hair gelled back. Rolex in his wrists and black shoes and a musky Chanel cologne which I got a whiff of as I approached him.
"Chalein ya yahin khade rehna hai" dad said.
"Yahin khade rehna hai" he said in his trance looking at me. My eyes widen! Adii!
Everyone laughed seeing him but he still didn't come out of his trance.
"Hey bhagwan bhabhi abhi aap hi bhai ko sapno ki duniya se bhar nikalo" abhi said and laughed along with everyone.
I blushed. He was still gazing at me without blinking and I just wanted to run away now. I was getting goosebumps under his sharp black gaze. He wasn't even moving an inch.
Everyone was staring at me and i swear I really wanted to run away!
Oh Haan I can do that and when I do adi will come cause He won't be able to look at me cause I won't be there. Wow!.
I slowly walked away looking at him and omgg! HE DID NOT MOVE AN INCH!
Adiiii! Ughhh!! He was still staring at the direction from which I came smiling like an idiot.
I huffed and tapped him on his back. He still did NOT move! Ok what?
I literally screamed in his ear.
"ADITYA!!"
"Haan" he said looking here and there. I crossed my arms and looked at him and so was everyone.
He smiled sheepishly as his ears and neck became pink. All my annoyance melted there seeing him blush like a girl. Omg! He looked so cute. I am so gonna tease him about this.
As if my thought was heard abhi teased adi making him more embarrassed than he already was.
"Bhai you're blushing the amount bhabhi does in a day, what an effect. The naina effect" he said the last line dramatically.
Everyone laughed again leaving me and adi alone. I looked at him and he smiled cutely making me shake my head at him.
This man!
