Chapter 46: Chapter 46

Natasha was deeply engrossed in her studies, today was her first semester's first internal exams and she wanted to excel in the test. There were no compromises when it comes to her studies. The last few weeks had been hectic, shifting to a new home, settling everything, getting adjusted to the new environment and then suddenly the assignments, projects and tests have been driving her crazy. But she loves what she is studying, so it was okay.

"Hey!" she heard the familiar deep and husky voice from behind and a small smile appears on her face as she turned to face him, who had two mugs in his hand. Farhan looked handsome as ever, in his navy blue t-shirt, which fitted tightly on his perfectly toned body that flexed his muscles, paired along with white pants. All in all, he was making her drool. Nothing very new.

"I made coffee for you." Farhan gave her his charming smile, showing his dimples in the process. She beamed at him in response. Honestly, she was still sleepy but had to wake up reluctantly and go through the subject, as it was really very hard. Nothing was very hard for her until she joined her masters, and now she is seeing stars in the daylight.

"You didn't have to wake up you know..." he shrugged it off with a smile as he passed her the mug and took a seat beside her. The loud chirping of birds and the raising of the sun was such a sight to see and from their balcony, it was even cuter. Sitting there with him made her feel giddy and romantic.

All of this felt like a beautiful dream sometimes. She still couldn't believe that Farhan Sheikh, her long time crush was her husband. Hers!

Natasha controlled herself from not squealing like a crazy girl, but the fact that he woke up so early in the morning just to make her coffee so that she'd not fall asleep was making her fall harder than ever.

At this point, she was insanely and madly in love with him.

Staying with him, was nothing but torture to her stupid heart. He is making her fall in love with him every single day, harder and harder and had no idea whatsoever.

"How's your preparation going on?" Farhan asked whilst sipping his coffee. She groaned at that question whilst passing him the book, "ask me these questions. See if I'm able to answer any of these."

He laughed at her dramatic reply and then asked her random questions which she answered one by one whilst drinking her coffee, "wow. That was quick. I thought it'd take forever to revise. Thank you so much, Farhan."

"Best of luck, you're stressing for nothing. I'm sure you'll rock it as usual." he gave her a wide grin as she took back her book and placed the mug below her legs.

Natasha smiled at his confidence in her. She wasn't sure if she herself had that in her for today. The test is going to be so hard. But hearing him praise her, boosted her confidence level. And she was grateful for that. He was like her rock. Everything he says matters a lot to her.

"And thanks for the coffee. I didn't know that you could make one?"  it was more like a question, which she asked with a playful smirk.

"That's the only edible thing I can make." he gave her a sheepish smile which makes her to burst into laughter. And just like that, he was lost in her. Natasha looked cute when she laughed, so carefree and happily whilst showing all her teeth.

She is so beautiful!

Feeling his intense eyes upon her made her stop laughing and she froze for a moment, the way he was looking at her, as though she was the most beautiful woman alive. It made her heart beat faster than ever. She clutched her book tightly, as heat raised to her cheeks.

He still didn't avert his eyes.

Natasha was confused for a moment, why the hell would he look at her like that though? She raised her hands to touch her face, to check if there was something but nothing was there. And for goodness sake, she hasn't even washed her face. Her hair must probably look like a nest and suddenly she was aware of how close they sat. Her breathing was now uneven.

He was still intensely looking at her!

Unable to handle that tension anymore, she ducked away from there and her legs kicked the mug in the process which she couldn't care less. It was broken anyway.

Farhan was lost in his own world.

What the hell did just happen? Why couldn't he just take his eyes off her? It was as though she cast a spell upon him with her melodious laughter and now, he was her puppet. He just wanted to keep looking at her again and again. What in the world was wrong with him?

***

Natasha smiled like a buffoon the whole day, her internal exams went great and now it was time to go home. But the image of Farhan looking at her like that was still running in her mind, she couldn't just erase it. She stood outside of the gate, waiting for Farhan to come and pick her up. It has been their routine now. He'd drop her and then pick her up from college, they'd talk about the day's happenings in the car. Sometimes, they'd even cook together later on. Life had been busy but great. They don't talk about their pasts anymore. Married life was different.

It was definitely not something that Natasha thought would be possible at the start of her married life. It felt surreal. But she is not complaining either.

"Hey!" a guy from her class came towards her, with a nervous smile. She raised her brows in confusion," hi?" it was more like a question than a greeting.

"You know, next weekend we are conducting freshers party in our university, right?" the guy chuckled, trying to ease the atmosphere. Natasha nodded her head, not understanding where this conversation was going on.

"I was wondering if you have any date with you..."

OH!

Natasha opened her mouth to deny politely, but a familiar pair of hands sneaked from behind and held her waist tightly, pulling her towards him. She knows this touch way too much. And damn, her heart was beating like, as though it was running a marathon. Her cheeks turned crimson, breath hitched, as the guy gave a confused look towards her and Farhan's hands; which held her.

When did Farhan get so comfortable in holding her in public like this? She had no idea, but she is liking this changed him so damn much.

"You were asking something?" Farhan feigned innocence as he smiled at Natasha and then gave a curt look to that guy.

Natasha was a goner for that killer smile of his, and today it looked more gorgeous on his devilishly handsome face. And just like that, her cheesy smile was back on her lips.

"I was asking her, bro." the guy still had the confidence to stand in front of Farhan and say that. Natasha now smiled nervously. Did he not get the hint?

"What?" Farhan asked again, more sternly this time.

"Well, I actually have a date. I'll bring my husband to that party. Thanks for asking though!" Natasha interrupted, not wanting to create any scene and the guy's face fell at the word husband. He gulped nervously, as Farhan glared at him.

If looks could kill, he'd be buried deep down. And he had no death wish, so he ran as fast as he could and never turned back.

"Looks like you scared him." Natasha chuckled, cautiously aware of his hands which held her waist. Her cheeks were as red as a tomato. He smirked at her, "that was my intention."

"Let's go?"

The rest of the ride went in silence, neither of them spoke like usual that day.

"What was he talking about?" Farhan suddenly asked.

"What?" she gave him a confused stare.

"The freshers' party? Do you want me to tag along?" she shook her head in no, "I was just joking. You don't have to... I just told that to deny that guy."

"Why? I can come, I mean I will come. When is the date?" a smile appeared on her face as he asked her that.

"Next Saturday? Will you be free?" Natasha inquired with hopeful eyes. She wanted to go along with him but was too nervous to ask. Now that he is asking on his own, she wouldn't miss it for the world.

"I can always be free for you." Farhan smiled at her, whilst continuing to drive.

"Or were you planning on taking someone else as your date?" a playful smile appears on his lips, she smacked his arms at that and scoffed at him," of course not. What did you think? When I have you, my husband. Why would I take someone else as my date?"

"I was just kidding. I'll come if you want me to come, wife" he grinned at her, as she hit him once again.

"Your wish, husband!" Natasha looked away whilst biting her lips, the smile on her face didn't vanish for the rest of the ride.

Suddenly, Farhan was getting aware of the fact of how he is her husband and she, his wife!
