His assurance, resolved even the tiniest knot of insecurity  she had earlier, the same reflected in her eyes. 
"Love you too, Mr. Husband." She smiled heartily which of course reached to her eyes.
"Pleasure is all mine."
"Swara, there is one thing I want to share..." He trailed with excitement. "Karma is going to take over Brightspace Incorporations. They are one of the influential suppliers of cement and metal required for construction business in US. It's time for Karma to go for an expansion... it's a big thing for Karma."
"Of course it is. Ohh wow! Congratulations." Her heart pounded with pride feeling over his accomplishments. "I am so so proud of you Sanskar." 
"Discussions are in the final stage, but to complete the legalities. I will need to go to the US as Karma's head office is there." He stared at her.
"So when are we leaving?" Swara asked instantly.
"You are coming with me?" Question was out of his mouth even before he realised, over the last few months, he could see changes in his wife as well as their married life but at this point of time when their home was sitting on a ticking bomb he was sceptical about her agreement for a long US trip.
"Mr. Husband, now I have a US visa as well. So you have no chance of escape." Swara threatened him, darting her eyes and raising a fork at him.
"Mrs. Wife is in a dangerous mood today." He raised his hands in surrender. 
"You better be careful Mr. Husband." She made faces where as he laughed at her antics. 
"By the way how many days are we going?" she asked inquisitively.
"My wild guess it will take at least one month to complete everything and sign the deal."  Sanskar replied with hope.
"One month?"  Just she and Sanskar, no one else for next 30 days, just a simple thought had set her heart racing with jet speed. She felt butterflies dancing inside her stomach.
"Annnndddd we can stay there for few more weeks if you want... I can show you around like Hawaii or Miami or Vegas, SFO, LA." He was also thrilled to show her around the place he spent most of the time of his life.
"Wow... that sounds like a plan Mr. Husband." Suddenly she felt every ounce of her body, every cell of her blood rushing with the excitement to spend quality time with Sanskar alone... away from their regular household drama.
"And for the first month where are we going to stay?" One more question was thrown on him. He thought a bit before answering.
"Of course my city. New York." he winked with a smile.
"New York, wow!"
"The city never sleeps." Swara observed his eyes, they twinkled with his inner happiness. 
Swara could not surmise reasons behind his cheerfulness ... was it because of the deal? was it because they were going on a trip alone? or was it because it was after a long time he would be visiting the city which was always close to his heart?
Unaware of Swara, her husband's mind was already running in all directions to make this trip memorable for both of them. 
After their marriage, the first thing he wanted was to take her to the city where he spent his university years, the city where he started Karma, the city which gave him name and fame. Endless ups and downs in their married life took away this chance from him but now she herself was willing to go away with him. 
Next day, Sanskar broke this news to his parents. Ram and Sujata were thrilled with the revelation. Ram was proud of his son's achievements whereas Sujata could see his content, peaceful, delightful face having his soulmate by his side.
