"You left me here alone... can't you see I'm almost blind now?" she said, frustration lacing her voice.

Still, no response.

"Are you even listening to me? He could be here any time, and I'm not ready yet. What will he say after seeing me like this?" she kept blabbering.

She paused, startled by a deep chuckle.

Her breath hitched. Wait... why does that laugh sound so manly?

She froze the moment she felt a warm breath fan across her face.

"Yahi ke kitni pyaari lag rahi hai meri begum," ( that how pretty my wife looks) came his husky voice.

"A-aap?" (you?) she whispered, stunned.

She tried to open her eyes, but he gently stopped her.
"Don't open them yet. Your eyeliner's still wet," he said.

She nodded silently.

Goosebumps broke across her skin as she felt him leaning closer, his breath brushing over her eyelids.

"W-what a-are you d-doing?" she stammered.

"Drying your eyeliner," he replied casually and continued.

She squeezed her eyes shut, unable to handle his nearness.
