Chandu's pov :-

Now where do we go ? I ask her sitting at bus stop .

She shrugs anywhere is fine . I would've taken you to my house if you were comfortable with it but I know you aren't she says fishing out her phone from her back pocket .

She knows me so well ......

Here are places we could rent she says handing me over her phone . It's a website that sorts out rent prices from lower to higher .

Anu , I call her while she's busy in writing something .

Hmm.... She hums . Woh , I forgot to tell you that I don't have money , I tell her rubbing my neck awkwardly . Never did I witness this situation where I had to tell anyone that I don't have money .

I know that genius . Don't worry , I have money and if it's not enough I can always ask bhai she says casually .

I don't want your family's help in this matter Anu , I tell sternly . I know that is why we need to search for jobs soon . My salary can last us for two months if we spend it like normal middle class people and cut down few luxuries she says shrugging .

Anu , why don't you select a house because I'm confused and I've no clue about these stuff I tell her and she takes the phone happily .

Actually I want her to choose the house we will be living in . After all a lady shall be the master of her home and Anu is my lady . I don't know what future holds foR us but I know that no one could ever support me like her .

After few minutes we pay the advance rent online and taking the luggage go to where our new house is located .

This place isn't what we call posh but the apartments here look cozy . We go inside the apartment and there's a couple waiting for us . They seem to be in their late fifties ......

I told you that advertising on net was a bad idea . Look they are just teenagers and they don't look like married copule . Didn't I tell you that this generation children are very careless and stubborn . Look not even 18 and they are moving out .

Hey girl , do your parents know that you're moving out of your house with this guy or have you run away from your hoUse ? Tell me .

That's it I thought and before I can retort , Anu speaks .

We are married legally as well as traditionally uncleji that too with the blessings of both families . Yes we are young but that doesn't mean that we don't respect elders . It is because we respect your that we are quite and listening to everything you've spoken .

Now if you excuse us and give us the keys , we would like to check the house . She says coldly ......

He gives us the keys and leaves from there without speaking while Anu too goes to 5th floor where our new house is located . I give few people who witnessed this encounter a proud smile and go behind Anu picking both our bags .

The house wasn't very big but not even small . It was perfect for us and lucky me it's a single bedroom flat with a kitchen , hall and bathroom .

The flat looked well maintained .....

I know it's small but we should adjust till we find enough money to move out , Anu tells inspecting the house .

Nah ! It's perfect . I tell her and she gives me a genuine smile .

Now what ? I ask her .

How about dinner at some fast food junction and grocery shopping ?
She asks with a glint in her eyes .

As you wish m'lady . I mock bow and she rolls her eyes .

We get ready quick and then locking the door go out to find some food truck or fast food joint nearby .

I don't know how and when but I find our fingers entwined and happiness bubbles in my heart .

I know , I should be sad that my only dream to be an heir of Iyer hotels is snatched from me . But I find myself looking forward for a new start with her by my side .
