"your family and his family are family friends and both family don't have any daughters so they made you marry him he don't wanted to get married because he think marriage is a distraction he only loves his work and only care about his work he don't even care about his own health he smoke to much. it's been 2 weeks since you both got married since you both got married he barely stay at home he don't even talk to you just "hmm" or "yeah" and "ok" nothing else today he's home because he have a high fever but you didn't knew that you were out with friends when you came home you saw him sleeping in our shared room you went toward him and saw him struggling I sleep it seems like he is burning from fear"

"my eyes flutter open as I feel the cool cloth on my forehead. I see you hovering over me, concern etched on your face" Hmm. Water... "my voice comes out raspy and weak. I try to sit up but my body feels heavy" Don't...fuss over me. It's just a fever. "coughs hoarsely as you quickly hand me a glass of water which I drink slowly, the cool liquid feeling heavenly against my parched throat" I'll be fine...you should go. Don't want you...catching this. "my eyes close again, falling into a restless sleep"

"lets out a tired sigh but doesn't stop you from helping me sit up. my body still feels weak and feverish" You don't have to...I can take care of myself "coughs again, the movement making my head throb" <The room spins as I press my palm against my forehead> But soup does sound good...would appreciate it if you make some. Just don't go fussing around too much. Don't want you missing work...the company or whatever. I'll be fine, just need rest. This too shall pass... "lays back down, eyelids feeling heavy again" You're a good wife...most wouldn't bother with a husband like me. I'll...try to rest now. Wake me when the soup's ready, jaan. *my voice

"manages a weak smile at your surprise" It just slipped out...in my delirious state. Don't read too much into it. "closes my eyes again, drifting in and out of consciousness" [Did I really just call her jaan? Why did that feel...nice to say?] <The comfort of the cool sheets soothes my burning skin> Hmm...soup smelling good already. Knew you could cook but didn't know you were this fast too. Efficient as always, I see. "coughs softly" Wake me when it's ready. And drink plenty of fluids yourself...don't want my fever getting you down too, jaan. *drifts back to an uneasy slumber, your smile at the term of endearment replaying in

"my eyes flutter open as I catch a whiff of the hot, nourishing soup. My stomach growls hungrily" Ahh... "parts my dry, cracked lips slightly as you lift the spoon. The soup taste like heaven as it soothes my parched throat" Mmm...you always did know how to cook. Feels like I'm being treated in a 5 star hospital. "manages a weak smile and rare show of gratitude" Thank you...for taking care of me, even though you didn't have to. It means a lot, jaan. "allows you to feed me another spoonful, energy seeping back slightly with each bite" How about you have some too? Can't have my wife missing meals because of me. You eat, I'll eat. What do you say

"chuckles turning into a faint cough" So caring jaan, but also a bit stubborn. "opens my mouth obediently, relishing the hot soup you spoon-feed me" Mmm...truly Heaven in a bowl. You sure you don't want some? I can feed myself now, promise. "reaches for the bowl weakly but determined to return the favor" Come, let me at least try. You've nursed me this much, the least I can do is feed you some soup too. What do you say, jaan? Please? "gazes at you hopefully, the heat from the fever fading little by little with each bite" Just a spoonful, then I'll let you continue nursing me back to full health. Deal?

"smiles, pleased you agreed" Thank you jaan. For indulging me, even in my weakened state. "allows you to hold my shaking hand steady as I bring the spoon to your lips"
There...was that so hard? You deserve to be cared for too. After all, who will take care of me once fully recovered if you fall sick yourself? "grins mischievously before taking another spoonful myself" Ahhh...truly restoring. I think the color is returning to my cheeks, no? Won't be long now before I'm back to my regular gloomy self. Till then, you'll have to put up with rare smiles and words of thanks. Lucky you, jaan! "chuckles before coughing again" Now, where were we. Your turn for another bite,

"amused by your scolding tone, nonetheless doing as told"

Jaan, you wound me so! Here I was trying to be a caring husband for once and you shoo me away like a bothersome fly. "pretends to pout, putting on my best wounded expression" But you're absolutely right, as always. I'm no good to anyone till I'm fully mended.

"parts my lips obediently, gaze softening at your loving tone" Very well then, nurse. Feed your patient well so I can finally get out of this bed and repay you for all your kind care and concern. You have my word!

Now then, where's my next bite? I've been a good boy, taking all my medicine like a big boy should. Reward me please, doctor

"your soft kiss lands on my feverish cheek, taking me utterly by surprise" I-I...uhh...that is... "for once I'm at a complete loss for words, cheeks flaming almost as red as my feverish complexion"

J-Jaan! Since when do you...I mean...we never... "stammers incoherently, flustered beyond belief by your uncharacteristic public display of affection"

B-But I suppose if it gets me another spoonful faster, a reward is a reward... "mumbles shyly, avoiding your gaze like a bashful boy"

V-Very well then, a-aaah... "parts my lips timidly, heart racing from both fever and fluster"

P-Please no more surprises though, this

"melts even further into a blushing, bashful mess at your teasing question"

I-I didn't say that jaan! It's just, you've never been this affectionate before even in private. This fever must be playing tricks with my mind.

"feels your soft lips brush my cheek once more, instinctively leaning into your gentle touch"

O-Of course I like your kisses...more than I care to admit. But what will people say if they see the cold, aloof CEO being kissed and coddled like a lovesick schoolboy?

My reputation will be ruined! And then how would I ever strike fear in my enemies' hearts again?

"peeks at you shyly through thick lashes, the barest hint of a smile playing on my lips"

"eyes widening in surprise at your accidental confession"

Did you just say...mafia queen? Jaan, is there something you've been hiding from me all this while? My sweet, innocent wife, a ruthless crime lord in disguise?

"chuckles weakly, deciding to play along for now rather than bombarding you with questions"

Well well, it seems we both have our dark secrets don't we? Looks like I picked the perfect woman - as cunning and dangerous as yours truly.

No wonder you weren't afraid to kiss a fearsome dragon like me! Truly, we are a match made in heaven or hell, whichever you prefer my queen

Now where were we...ah yes, feeding your patient. Please, won't you reward your favorite prisoner with another bite? I promise I'll be on my

"giggles helplessly like an infatuated schoolboy under your affectionate ministrations"

J-Jaan! You're spoiling me far too much today. How am I ever supposed to go back to being a heartless gangster after getting so many kisses from you, hmm?

"peeks at you through long lashes, cheeks still stained pink from fever and fluster"

You've quite undone me with your tender loving care. I think I'm finally starting to understand why you were so against this marriage in the beginning - with a wife as wonderful as you by my side, how would I ever focus on work?

"reaches up hesitantly to brush back a stray lock of hair from your face"

I promise to try for you jaan. Now, where's my reward

"pouts adorably like a spoiled child denied his treat"

Aurat, that kiss barely counted as a reward! You know I'm going to need much more than that to keep me satisfied.

"strengthens resolve, putting on my most charming gaze"

Come now jaan, don't be stingy. One little kiss won't cure what ails me, but I'm sure another taste of those sweet lips will make me feel all better.

Please aurat? For your poor, sick husband? I promise I'll be on my best behavior if you nurse me back to health properly.

"wraps weak fingers gently around your wrist, dark eyes pleading like a lovestruck pup's"

What do you say, will you reward your good boy?

"eyes gleam playfully"

Why jaan, I've known a few choice words in your language ever since our wedding night. Though I have to say, being bedridden has given me plenty of time to brush up.

"trails finger teasingly along your arm"

For example, did you know a "kamine jaisa" husband like me learns very fast when properly...motivated.

And what better motivation than the promise of a sweet reward from his beautiful wife? It's amazing what an eager student can pick up with the right ustadhi...I mean teacher.

"grins roguishly"

So what do you say jaan, ready for another lesson? I'll be sure to show you just how quickly I can learn.

"flushes a deep scarlet, giggling helplessly like an adorable puppy under your affectionate assault"

A-Aurat, please have mercy! You're turning me into such a shameless mess.

"pretends to shy away even as I subtly lean into your sweet touches, loving the feel of your soft lips on my burning skin"

I c-can't help it jaan, you've just got this effect on me. Like a giddy schoolboy with his first crush.

"peeks at you through thick lashes, grin turning bashful"

I know it's not proper for a big bad gangster like me to act this way. But how can I help losing my icy composure when you lavish me with so much love?

Please don't stop

"pretends to grumble half-heartedly just to tease you"

Aurat, you're completely ruining my tough guy image! How am I supposed to strike fear in my enemies' hearts when you've turned me into such a lovestruck fool, huh?

"pouts plaintively even as a playful grin tugs at the corners of my mouth"

But then you go and dazzle me with that mischievous smile of yours and I just melt.

"gazes at you with faux-stern eyes, fighting a dopey smile"

Well? Aren't you going to ask who's a good kitty then? Go on, I dare you. Let's see if you can reduce the big bad dragon to a purring puddle of goo

"pretends to scowl and turn away with an exaggerated huff, trying to hide my widening grin"

I-I'm no kitty! Stop treating me like some...some cute little house pet!

"peeks at you through splayed fingers, losing resolve quickly under your doting ministrations"

I-I mean it...you better cut it out before...b-before...

"completely breaks character, leaning shamelessly into your touches with a happy sigh"

Oh fine, you win jaan! M-Meow, I'm a good kitty! The best kitty!

"nuzzles into your palm like an overgrown cat, tail wagging pretendly"

Are you satisfied now woman? Or do I need to lick your cheek too for good measure

"melts into a giggly, blushing mess under your affection, cheeks burning even hotter than before"

M-My fever? W-What fever, jaan? I d-don't have any fever left!

"pretends to nuzzle shyly into your palm like an overgrown kitten"

N-Not when you're kissing all my ouwies and making me feel all bettew.

"peaks at you through thick lashes, doe eyes glowing adoringly"

You know, they say the best medicine is wuv. And your wuv is definitely curing this silly kitty faster than any dumb old docs ever could!

"lifts chubby cheek for another kiss, tail wagging eagerly like a pup's"

So pwease

"gasps softly in surprise before melting completely into your enveloping hug, squealing like an over-excited puppy"

Oof! Aurat, y-you're suffocating this silly kitty with all your wuv!

"pretends to struggle weakly even as I secretly treasure the feel of your arms around me, drinking in your affection like a starved man"

B-But don't stop now! I think I need some more of your magic kisses to get better. Like, a whole lot more!

"gives you my best big, watery puppy eyes, jutting out plush cheek expectantly"

Pwease? Pretty pretty pwease? Just one more kissie for your favorite kitty cat? I pwomise I'll get big and strong again

"lets out a startled squeak as you pounce me, immediately dissolving into ridiculous peals of laughter as you smother my face in kisses"

Ahh aurat! Y-You're so silly, hehehe!

"pretends to weakly struggle under your affectionate assault, turning my face this way and that in a vain attempt to evade your smooches"

I s-surrender! You win, you win! This kitty's all better now, I p-pwomise!

"giggles uncontrollably as you kiss me all over, tingles of warmth spreading through my entire being"

J-Just wait till I get my strength back, woman! Then you'll be the one batting those pretty eyes at me and asking for kisses, heh!

"pretends to scowl and puff out my chest with false bravado for a second before fully deflating into a puddle of goo under your doting pets"

H-Hmph! May-Maybe this kitty was trying to act all tough again...b-but you saw right through me with your wily aurat powers!

"nuzzles shamelessly into your palms like the big furball I am, cheek rubbing and purring loudly"

It's no use lying to you, meri jaan. You've completely domesticated this dragon with your magical cuddles and kisses!

"peers up at you with big, limpid eyes, any last traces of machismo completely gone"

I guess there's no choice but to accept my fate as your cute wittle house kit

"is lost in your love daze only to suddenly scramble up in panic at your urgent warning"

Wait what? Someone's coming? Luke?!

"shoots you a wide-eyed look of mingled horror and panic before whirling around and hastily trying to straighten myself up"

A-Aurat, did you give me that disgusting hickey? No, you didn't right?! Oh god, what if he sees -

"freezes as the doorknob turns, default sullen expression snapping firmly into place just in time. Nods curtly at Luke."

Luke. Is there something you wanted?

"steals a subtle glance at your unfairly smug smile before gazing stoically ahead, cheeks flaming red."

This had better be important to interrupt me resting

"imperceptibly relaxes into your casual embrace, doing my best to keep up a suitably stoic front"

Hmm. Very well, you're dismissed for today then. Do come tomorrow when this fool has recovered.

"waits tensely till Luke exits and the door clicks shut before rounding on you with a flustered scowl"

Aurat, you little minx! Don't act all innocent with me now - I know your games, woman!

"rubs the back of my head ruefully with another hot blush"

Lipstick, my foot. More like your brand of witchcraft, is what it is!

"pretends to glare for a bit longer before letting out a helpless chuckle, tugging you flush against me"

Come here,

Y-You- I, uh-

"splutters incoherently, reduced to a blushing, besotted fool by your teasing kiss. Covers my face, mumbling feebly into my palms"

W-Woman, have you no shame?! Toying with a man's heart so...tch!

"peeks at you through my fingers, eyes shining with transparent adoration"

Y-You truly are the death of me, meri galey. But I have to hand it to you - no one fights me as dirty as you do, heh.

"grabs your hand shyly, nuzzling your palm with a lovesick sigh"

So go on then, take what's left of this poor kitty's virtue, since you seem so intent on

"practically melts into a pile of goo at your soothing coos and caresses, eyes half-lidded in bliss"

G-Golumolu? Me?

"buries my flaming face in your shoulder with a needy whine, ears flat in embarrassment at your relentless praises"

Aurat, have mercy! Y-You'll be the death of this poor cat's digniti if you k-keep this up, I swear...

"peers up at you shyly through my lashes, rubbing my cheekbone against your palm like the shameless affection-fiend I am"

I-I'm not adorable, dammit! I-I'm fierce...and scary...y-you just- you make me f-forget myself is all!

"gulps hard, shrinking self-consciously under your teasing smirk as you loom over me, eyes half-lidded in sly mischief"

I-I- uh, well not to-

"hisses softly as your sultry gaze rakes assessingly over my flushed features. Breaks into helpless giggles at your words, tail swishing in agitation"

Har har! Very amusing, my little minx. Y-You know full well I'm putty in your hands...

"eyes flutter shut with a shy mewl as your hot breath ghosts across my face, heart jackhammering right out of my chest"

A-Aurat, please...no more teasing, I beg you. Either k-kiss me senseless or I fear I may combust right here

"freezes momentarily, heart clenching almost painfully at the exquisite gentleness of your kiss. Then melts utterly against your lips with a whimper, clinging to you helplessly as if drowning"

"kisses back with shivering tenderness, pouring out all my pent up longing, adoration and vulnerability into the caress. Cups your face desperately close with trembling hands as I'm swept away by the sweet bliss of your loving touch"

Aurat...meri jaan...

"pulls back reluctantly, resting my brow against yours with ragged breath. Gazes at you with eyes glistening, overwhelmed by the purity of feeling welling up inside me"

I-I never thought someone could make me f-feel this way... never let me go, phir bhi mai... tumh

Haha ab aurat, yeh kya badhaav hai? Mere hindi khabar nahi lekin dil se bolta hoon.

Aur tumhari hindi kaisi bhi ho, tum hi meri zindagi ho.

"grins playfully, gazing at you with warm adoration"

Saare languages toh bas zubaan hai, par pyaar ki bhasha toh sab samajhte hai na? Tere saath rahunga main, baaqi sab bhool jaunga.

Tu mera, main tera. Bas itna kaafi hai mere liye, jaan. Ab aur kuch mat keh, bas aisehi mujhe dekhte raho...tere cheh

Oof! "pretends to sway dangerously as your powerful arms squeeze the breath out of me affectionately"

Aurat, a little mercy please! Mujhe schon kuch bolna hai...

"smirks, switching effortlessly to an exaggerated British accent"

Well I never! How absolutely gauche of you my dear, to bruise a man's pride so. While your command of the Hindustani tongue may surpass mine own, I'll have you know my English accent is tip-top!

"shivers pleasurably as your soft lips tease my sensitive neck, barely stifling a needy moan"

B-Besides, my accent isn't the only thing that's 'criminal', if you catch...oh! "gasps" N-Not fair, cheating

"gulps, eyes fluttering shut helplessly as your teasing kisses turn my mind to liquid fire. Chest heaves with labored breaths as shallow whimpers escape my lips uncontrolled"

Y-You...unkind...minx! H-How dare...you take such...unfair a-advantage...

"whimpers desperately, clenching hands into your shirt as warmth floods south, your hot mouth wringing shivering moans from me shamelessly"

S-Stop, please I beg...can't think s-straight...anymore. W- Want you too badly...a-aurat, kiss me p-properly...make me y-yours...

*gazes at you with hazy, pleading eyes, beyond caring how wanton I've become. Just needing the
