Amreet Finally Resumes His Office..

Finally, after 1 month of marriage, the couple had to depart from their family members as there was a shortage in Amreet’s leave.

Amreet’s same old routine started, but, something new that was added to his life was Anjana’s presence. As compared to before, Amreet seems more enthusiastic, energetic as well as happy. The first day in his office was passing in hardship, as he was waiting to come home as early as possible where he could meet his lovely wife. While, on the other hand, Anjana’s day was spent arranging the house and organizing each and everything.

The clock struck 6 in the evening and Anjana dressed up herself with her eyes all set to look for her hubby.

The doorbell rings, Anjana hastily opened up the door, and guess who? It was none other than Amreet. A smile flashed on both faces and both of them hugged each other.

Amreet kept his bag, changed his cloth, and walked towards the washroom to freshen up himself.

Something delicious was waiting for him, as Anjana has cooked special mutton curry with his favorite delicacy i.e. kheer. Both had a good time over dinner.

Days passed by, and the same routine was being followed by both of them.

2 Years passed of their marriage…

Anjan called him and burst, “When are you coming home?”

“I will be late. Have dinner sweetie.”

“Don’t call me sweetie! This is 3rd time this week! If I had to eat my dinner alone, I could have done at my mom’s house also!” fulminated, she disconnected.

He sighed. Two years of marriage and she still wanted all the attention.

Amreet- I didn’t remember when was the last time I hang out with ‘the guys’. After slogging the entire week at the office, today I secretly wanted to, but not at the cost of making her upset. Amreet thinks.

Amreet called her: Don’t be angry, we will go out for dinner tomorrow?

Anjana: :(

Amreet: I am really, really stuck in traffic.

Anjana: :( :(

Amreet: Okay we will go out today

Anjana: I will be ready in an hour. thank you sweetie :)

‘Don't call me sweetie’ Amreet wanted to remind her. But he didn’t.

On their way to the restaurant, she insisted to go to the outskirts. 1.5-hour drive from home. Amreet couldn’t refuse. Five minutes into their journey and her mother call up.

“Hello Mumma!” she hooted.

“Yes we are going somewhere,” she added.

“No No, he takes good care of me.” she laughed.

“Really!” Anjana turns to me to inform, “Gracy got engaged.” and continues to get details from her mum.

And so, the only unmarried and cute sister-in-law is also officially off the flirt-me zone. So, no unmarried sisters-in-law? And I am going to celebrate- Amreet thinks

For the 40-45 minutes, mother-daughter continue their conversation with least bother about her husband driving listening to FM, feeling left out. –

“Where are we?” - Anjana asked

“NH-8, we will reach Gurgaon shortly..” - Amreet replied

“Why are you being so silly! We should have been driving to Mumma’s place!” - Anjana curiosly said.

“But you said you had to dine at…” Amreet grinned.

“Gracy is getting engaged and you think we will go to some restaurant?? What is the matter with you??” - Anjana said

What am I supposed to do if I can’t read clues? How would I know if she’s getting engaged right now? Amreet thought. He quietly went off the highway looking for a u-turn.

After another exhaustive drive of an hour, anjana somehow reach her maternal place. Thank god for lesser-than-usual traffic today. Once there, they were all standing outside to welcome them.

Amreet- “Namaste mummy-ji” and bowed down to take her blessings. Sister-in-law is standing right there and came to half-hug me.

“So Gracy finally found your prince eh?” Amreet teased her.

Anjana pulled her away from Amreet and soon disappeared inside the house. He don’t have to do much, except smile at them purposelessly.

At 12.30 in the night, they finally board their car to go back home.

“After Gracy will also go away, mom-dad will be all alone” Anjana started shedding tears.

‘Their responsibilities will be over, they might be happy’ Amreet wanted to tell her. But, couldn’t.

“Gracy will be happy with him,” Amreet told her.

Anjana- “I wish he will be as good as you.” she stopped crying and told Amreet.

By applying semi-brakes to the car, Amreet urned to her and said, “Wow. You think I am good?”

“You are the best. The best companion one could ever hope for!” - Anjana replied

Amreet- “Really you mean it? I mean, the way our day went, it is hard to imagine this coming from you.” Amreet smiled.

Anjana- “I have only you to complain, to fight with, and to cry in front of. If I do all this, it doesn’t mean my love for you is getting any lesser. It only increases as I see you come home skipping all appointments, drive for 2-2 hours tirelessly, and then behave so nicely to make me happy and fulfilling all my desires.”
