Morning came sooner than Sehun expected. He was feeling a little tired still managed to sit down from his sleeping posture.
"Did you sleep well?!" Cara asked opening the door.
"Look at you..." Cara almost yelled.
"You are looking like a k drama fan who just finished a whole k drama in one night. I should not have given you that Pendrive." Now Cara was laughing at his poor husband.
"Okie okie... stop laughing... let me get freshen up first." Sehun said finding his towel and going inside the bathroom.

"Oh my goodness." Sehun exclaimed as he opened the door of bathroom to enter the room. Cara was standing there dressed in a bright emerland-green saree with golden embroideries along with thin pink border.

Heavy golden jewellery of a very traditional design perfectly huggged her neck and waist line. Her hair was curled and looking at bit different from her original silky straight hair. Her hand adorned a bangle and a golden ring. It was very unlike Cara, as far as Sehun know, Cara always liked to look simple with minimum jewellery. But she did not look uncomfortable with all those things on her. Rather she was smiling to herself on the mirror. A frown escaped Sehun's throat as he noticed Cara was alreday wearing vermilion on her mang(hair partition).

Although Sehun did not intend to, still a little angry tone came out as he asked why She did not let him put vermilion on her today.

Well, Cara did thought Sehun would be sad, but she did not expect him to be angry, somehow Cara found it cute and a giggle escaped .

The next moment she found, she was inches apart from Sehun's face. Sehun's hands gripped her arm, strong enough to not let her escape and careful enough to not hurt her.

"And, what made you feel like laughing?!" Sehun asked, his voice husky.
Cara was looking at his eyes carefully, feeling like trapped in them. His wet hair were being a big distraction as drops of water were falling from them, drawing lines on Sehun's flawless face, and can she once call him 'y'?!
"Don't take back the rights you once gave me, Little one." Sehun said his voice serious and his face dangerously close. Unknowingly Cara move her face towards Sehun, almost closing the distance; almost.

Sehun's left hand slowly moved from her arm to her back of neck, Cara did not protest. His right hand slide down to her back, covering the bare space down her blouse. Sehun moved his face keeping the eye contact intact.

Cara closed her eyes waiting for Sehun to take her lips into his, for a fraction of second she wondered, how will Sehun taste. But why was he taking forever?! Cara opened her eyes to find Sehun's face not dangerously close anymore. A hint of disappointment hit Cara, but why?!
"If we stay like this any longer, I can't hold back anymore." Sehun said lightening his grip.

"And, I don't want you to hold back." Cara wished she could say, but she did not. But it did not feel good, not at all, when Sehun's palm left her skin. When Sehun was not near anymore. She did not like that Sehun's wramth was not near anymore. She reached out for Sehun's hand and held it. She did not know what to say or do. She wished for once Sehun could read mind, but she knew she was being unreasonable.

"You look breath taking." Sehun said smiling softly.
"It's Mama." Cara said taking a step forward.
"Huh?" Sehun asked confused.
"She put vermilion." Cara added.
"Oh." Sehun didn't know what else to say.
"Listen..." Cara sounded little anxious.
"Little one, I am sorry." Sehun said putting his hand on Cara's head.
Cara did not know why he was. But she did not say anything and just look at him.
"I over reacted." Sehun said closing his eyes.
"Plus... I... you. .. I shouldn't have.." Sehun tried to put it in a sentence, but Cara cut him in half way.
"Sehun... Shh. .. it's okay... you don't need to apologise. Shh... actually mama said... when a married woman put vermilion on another married women, it's a token of affection and blessing for longevity of their partner. I know it's just a superstition, but I liked it...."

Sehun did not say anything but just looked at her still keeping the hand on Cara's head.

"And I find your possessive side cute. I never saw it before." Cara said smiling sheepishly.

"I thought you might hate it." Sehun said being a bit nervous.

"I never felt 'hate' after knowing you, Hunnie." Cara said her eyes looking deep into Sehun's.

'Knowingly or unknowingly I stopped hating myself, after being with you.' Cara said to herself.

"Stop looking like that... or else...." Sehun said breaking the eye contact.

"Or else..." Cara asked boldly, she did not know where that came from.

"Or else" Sehun said moving swiftly towards Cara and just stopped at a distance of 1 inch from her lips.

Cara did not care what will happen after this, will there be a huge change or lot of awkwardness or a new start... but she can't afford to lose this moment for the second time today.

Sehun stopped there for more than 5 seconds and released a sigh, as he moved backwards, Cara slid her left hand to back of his neck and pulled him. Both of them felt a rise of temperature as their lips brush against each other. Sehun pulled Cara into his embrace holding her back of head with left hand and covering his right hand around her waist. Sehun placed soft kisses on corner of Cara's mouth and press her bottom lip between his both lips and it softly. A light moan escaped Cara's mouth. Sehun broke the kiss to look at Cara's eyes.

"You won't regret this moment, right?!" Sehun asked more like whispering, placing a soft kiss on her lips again.

"There is no room for regrets.... I feel blessed to have you." Cara said smiling softly and placed a kiss on Sehun's cheek.

"I don't have a blower, let me wipe your hairs." Cara said as she pushed Sehun to sit on the bed.
She took a towel from the cupboard and went to back of Sehun. She put the towel on his head and slowly wiped his hairs dry with the towel.

"Get dressed up, we are going temple." Cara said putting a box on his hand. "Mama asked me to give you this, get dressed up, I am waiting downstairs." Cara said before closing the door behind.

A ring on her phone broke Cara's thought who was smiling like a maniac, sitting on the couch.
"Oh... you are alive?!?" Misti chuckled from the other side.

"Nah... it's her ghost talking" Arya said rolling her eyes.

"Okie Com'on receive the video call every one." Claire said sending video call request.

"OMG. .. you gave me a heart attack." Misti said putting her hand on her chest dramatically.
"Shut up." Cara said smiling.
"You look beautiful." Claire complemented genuinely.
"Especially that smile of yours." Arya said smiling brightly.
"What's up?! Anything special?!" Misti asked to which Cara's smile widened.
"Definitely there is something. Your face clearly says it." Claire said narrowing her eyes playfully.
"Now speak up." Arya said rising her eyebrow.

"Nahh nothing." Cara said but her face said something else.
"Okie okie.... first tell us... when are you coming back?!" Misti asked.
"Tonight may be. We are going to temple now. We will head out in afternoon." Cara replied.

"Oh... then let's meet for dinner next week?!" Claire asked.

"Are you only inviting your friend or I am allowed too?!" Sehun asked from behind.
"Hello jiju." Claire and Misti chirped in unison.

"This time it's only us." Arya said and Misti added."only friends time."

"We should leave now. Mama Papa are alreday there." Cara said and all of them bid byes.

"So, how are we going?!" Sehun asked as Cara kept the phone in her purse.

"Papa left his car. Here are the keys." Cara said tossing the keys towards Sehun.

Cara was trying to behave like nothing happened, to avoid awkwardness, so was Sehun. They reached the buddha temple in no time. None of them uttered a word about what happened in morning.

The day went quite hectic with all rituals and the after feast. The clock was hitting 3 in the afternoon when they all came back home.

Sehun did not say anything but just looked at her still keeping the hand on Cara's head.

"And I find your possessive side cute. I never saw it before." Cara said smiling sheepishly.

"I thought you might hate it." Sehun said being a bit nervous.

The day went quite hectic with all rituals and the after feast. The clock was hitting 3 in the afternoon when they all came back home.

They decided to take a taxi after a tired day, instead of train. Cara was packing the clothes and her mother was making few snacks of her favorite.
A slight knock steal Cara's attention towards the door. Mr Park was standing there with a bag on his hand.
"Papa? ! Do you need anything." Cara asked politely, waiting for the answer.
"Umm. . Nothing...I brought something. Here keep it." Mr Park said putting the bag on the couch nearby.
"What is it?" Cara asked more like whispering.
"Your mama said, yours was broken, so I happen to bring one." Mr Park said stopping his footsteps.
"Laptop?!" Cara's eyes twinkled just as a child got a lollipop.
"Yes... you will need one. In your work. Keep it..." Mr Park continued.
"Papa..." Cara called. "Thank you." She said excitedly opening the bag. As she opened the main chain a silver pen with red border caught her attention. As she look at it properly, it was the same pen, her papa carries with him most of the time. As long as she remember, her Papa always kept it near him. Did he forget it inside. As she turned around her father was no more there. She took the pen with her and went to her father's room. She knocked the door before opening the door. Mr Park was standing near his book shelf holding a book on his hand.
"Papa..." Cara called for. Mr Park looked at her direction. "Papa, you left it in my room." Cara said holding out the pen.
"Oh." Mr Park said. "If you want, take it." He continued.
"But... it's your favorite, is not it?!" Cara asked surprised.
"You always keep it near you, it was your lucky chram!" Cara said, looking at the pen dearly.
"Just keep it, no more talk. You may leave." Mr Park said slamming the book on the table, not so rudely though. Cara whispered a thank you before going out the room. 

"Silly girl."Mr Park murmured as she left, with a small smile.
