Hooked! Chapter 19
A week of our marriage and i was still sitting in the dining chair, waiting for Abhishek to come back from his office. But 2 hours were still left. He usually arrives at 8 and right now, its just 5:53 p.m. .I never knew i would be so wrong about my decision, when i said, i will not let Abhishek affect me again.He affected me. Voluntary or not. He did. The feelings that i thought were left behind, never did. It was still a part of me, a deep one that i ignored for so long. Maybe i never forgot Abhishek in the first place. I just had buried his memories, never tried to forget them. Equations between us, has not been much changed. There were times when we won't know what to speak and what not. Things would be awkward without any reason. Mostly because both of us, do not want to initiate any conversation by ourselves. If one starts, the other plays along. The one being mostly me. Most of our conversations were about the family. How revti aunty would scold all the children, or how son

"Just how..irresponsible youuu can be??" I said between my laughs. "You will be so dead because you hung up on aunty.""Not really." He smirked. "I will say that her daughter like daughter in law cut the phone and started doing something which i cannot tell her." My laughter died and i blushed unwantedly."You know its impossible!""I know. They don't." He winked. This man!!I thought to give him some pies, but he does not deserves it! I pack all the pies and smacked his arm as he tried to take some. "Not for you.""Then for whom?""For my love.."I shrugged and he laughed. Is he mad? I, his wife, told him that i made the pies for my lover and he is laughing?"You hardly went anywhere outside here. Who will be your lover here?""Who said my lover is outside? There are many bachelors around my age, who work here. " i wiggle my eyebrows, liking to see the shocked expression on his face.

I took my phone out to call Abhishek and ask him to send the driver but, i did not had his number. Shit, Lavi! How can you forget to take his number?Even he didn't realised that we had not shared our numbers yet, when he asked me to ring his mobile. How stupid can we be?I instantly checked for 'Gills' villa' on g-maps, but guess what? The net was not working. Great. I thought to call Revti aunty but knew that was a very bad idea. She will scold us in return, and especially at Abhishek. She will be beyond angry if she gets to know that i was in the middle of the road, trying to find my way for home."Are you looking for an auto?" An auto driver asked me and i shook my head. He looked drunk. Moreover his eyes scanned my body, making me a little uncomfortable. "You look new. Come i will drop you, in free." Came his lusty voice.I shook my head again and started to walk back at the campus. The driver followed me still. "Sit inside. I will drop you."Can't he understand, i don't want hi

"You think one sorry will cover it all?" His voice was emotionless as he wore a random tee. It was the first time, i heard him like this. And trust me, it was not a warm feeling."I..I will... clean the house and make the dinner real quick." I said whatever came up my mind. My tone sounded apologetic and guilty. He finally looked at me with a distant look, and sighed. "You really think, i'm upset because you, dripped water on the furniture and did not cook the dinner? Seriously, Lavanya?" He asked in disbelief.Is he not?"You claim to read human psychology and you don't know what i'm upset about? Unbelievable." He exclaimed and passed past me.A psychologist is not a mind-reader! Nonetheless, I followed him quickly. "Then why are you upset?" He glared at me. "I mean, i'm not a mind reader. You need to tell me why are you so upset?" I clarify.He shook his head in disbeief and descended the stairs. Me following him like a pet. "Now you are exaggerating it. Stop acting chidish!" I sa

"I forgot to ask yesterday, but how was your interview yesterday?" Abhishek asked as we had our breakfast. We had shared our numbers now.Yesterday, after maggi he ordered a pizza and we'd called it a night after we filled our stomachs. Things were very awkward but he tried to overlook it and tried to crack some jokes, to which i replied in monosyllables. When i hit my bed, i found myself behaving like an immature kid. The things were not as complicated as i made it appear. He was definately right in his place, and i in mine. But we failed to coordinate."It was horrible." I replied to his question. "The principal was too rude. She looked like a female version of Hitler. You know which question she asked me first? She asked me if i can assure 99 percent result in psychology, then only the interview should proceed.""She must be a business woman. Seedhi baat, no bakwaas. " he shrugged as if it was not a big deal.(No beat around

"There were jammers in the college, so i was trying to call you from the middle stopper in the road. Later realised i could not, so i was busy thinking what next to do. Then a driver came and...." Before i could complete, Abhishek cut me. "He tried to pull any cheap trick?""No, i mean yes. He was insisting me to sit on his auto , even after i refused to him because he looked drunk and i was feeling uncomfortable from him. He continued to follow me and a policeman came, the driver drove away, and the policeman made me sit on a bus. That's it." I finally complete. And there was no ounce of pain in my voice, except the regret. "There is more to it."Ughhh...why can't be satisfied with what i am telling.I finally narrated him my regret of leaving that driver and all. Leaving the part where i was travelled to my old bad times. "What? For such a small thing, you were so lost? I mean, i understand you could not do anything about it
Hooked! Chapter 25
Lavanya pov:-"Take any of them, why are you wasting the time?" Abhishek was irritated to the edge now. Past one hour of shopping and i still had chosen only two sweaters and a cardigan. Normally it was enough, but here i don't have a single woolen cloth. I needed some more. But seeing these over expensive clothes makes me confuse. The ones i'm liking are either expensive or too large for me. "You can go back, the mall is not that far." I told with a frown and went into the woolen kurti section. The colours are so dull! That's why i hate shopping! I can never decide what to take and what not! "And leave you here like that day? No thanks!" He mocked."Then help me or keep your mouth shut!" I took two kurti sets and added them to cart. "That's it for now! I can't shop more." I sighed."Just these? You sure you won't need anymore clothes? You will spend the next three to four months in these?" He asked with open mouth. He is bipolar! I swear he is!"Just two weeks. I will be going to

Third person's pov.The car screeched stopped as Abhishek pulled the brakes outsife the college campus. The results were to be out today and Abhishek offered, or more like estated, to accompany Lavanya. He had his face covered with a scarf and black glasses.After parking the car, the two entered the campus and they could see the hustling-bustling of the students. Some girls noticed the handsome gentleman with hidden face, that made them more desperate, in their college and soon, almost all eyes were on Abhishek and Lavanya. The two moved to the reception to check out the results but it was Lavanya who went inside while Abhishek waited for her in a corner. There was a heavy crowd near the bulletin and many of the faces returned back with dull and rejected faces. But he ignored them and fixed his eyes only at the one face that looked neither happy nor sad."How was it?" Abhishek asked and Lavanya smiled brightly."Just like i told you!" She answered."So its a No. Now its Mom's treat.

"Now spread it like this." Lavanya slided the plastic knife over the bread and her 16 month son tried to take the knife from his mom. "Ok, now its your turn." She helped him spread the home-made jam over the bread.Once done, vihaan took the bread and ate it with his little teeth. The strawberry taste of the gem made him spin around and wave his hands in air. His way of saying wonderful. Lavanya laughed with him and quickly ate a bite of the bread before copying him. The baby giggled and spread his arms for her to pick him up and hug him. She did and kissed his chubby cheeks."Lavii, is breakfast ready?" Abhishek asked, descending the chairs while adjusting his watch. "Daddaaa.." Vihaan screamed in joy and pulled lavanya's hairs in excitement. Lavanya hissed keeping him down and the kid ran to his father."Careful, vihu!" Lavanya shouted but who she was kidding? Vihaan knew every inch of the house, even the corners she didn't knew before.She shook her head before taking the breakfa

"Shh...stop crying baby, look mumma has so many toys. Wanna play?" I tried to console my two month old baby boy, Vihaan, who was crying continuously from an hour. No matter how hard i try, he didn't stopped crying."Hungry? Is my boy hungry? Come, mumma will feed you." I opened the buttons of blowse and took Vihaan near my breasts but he didn't latched like other times and now tears pooled in my eyes. "What happened baby? Are you angry from mumma? Please stop crying."I hooked back my blowse and took him in a hug, patting his back. "My baby, my sweetheart. Stop crying." I cooed but he was not in the mood to shut his crying. "Are you hurt somewhere? Let mumma see." His tears were like a dagger for me.I laid him down on the mattress and took off his clothes slowly until he was in his birthsuit. I checked for any discomfort but there was none. "You want massage? Lets massage you!" I took the baby oil from the side table and started massaging him while making some funny faces.For a seco

The next day, abhishek took lavanya to kanpur and left her there with a heavy heart. He drove back, not wanting to see her never-ending tears. Their family tried to stop him but he just shook his head.Due to driving so much, his body was sore and he laid on his bed (after informing that he reached) to take a nap. But an hour passed and he was still wide awake. He missed his wife in his arms and the bump he will always draw patterns in. While in Kanpur, lavanya sat in her new bed as she munched in her sweet-corns, and ignored everyone who tried to talk to her."I agree she is angry from bhai, but why is she not talking to us?" Vansh was irritated. Ruchika nodded her head as everytime she went to feel the baby, lavanya asked her to leave her alone. "Its her hormones, beta. She is just upset that Abhishek left her here. In no time, her mood will automatically change." Revti answered."Lets cook her favorite dish, she will be fine." Sonali suggested and all agreed. .. Lavanya looked

Pregnancy comes with many hardships. And with lavanya, it was already worsening day by day. She kept vomitting everything she ate and the morning nausea did not let her sleep properly. Abhishek tried his best to convince her to eat even if she vomits it. But lavanya had strictly told him that she will only live by water, but she won't vomit. It took all her energy. "Baby, if you won't eat anything, how will you take care of our baby?" He said rubbing her back as she laid over him, like a lazy dog. "I already feel exhausted in two months. Vomitting just makes it worst." She mumbled, trying to sleep. "Because you are not eating anything. You want to have your milk shake? Ice-cream or anything?" He asked, not caring if it was healthy or not. He only wanted her to eat anything or it might be a problem. "No. I just want to sleep." He sighed at her answer and rubbed her back, patting it slightly. "If you don't eat four meals atleast in a day, i'm going to tell your students that you w

The two days went in a blink as the day of their reception arrived. It was also the completion of six months of their marriage and thus Lavanya performed the rituals of removing the chuda with the ladies. She was excited. One day back, she resigned from her job and decided to open her own psychology classes after they return from their honeymoon. Vansh proposed Kritika near the India gate and the latter cried in happiness. Their parents were happy and they decided to marry them in the next year. Lavanya got ready in her gown that she saved before, when arms snaked through her waist. "You look stunning." Abhishek muttered, hugging her and she leaned back. "And you look beautiful." She said, muffling her laughter, knowing he only loved 'handsome, hot and sexy' as compliment. He twirled her in his arms and pulled her close. "Beautiful, huh?" He slammed his lips on hers and she kissed him back, messing his hairs. "Now what's your take?" He asked as she panted for air. "You are

"Abhishek, it's difficult. It's too difficult to cope up with the new atmosphere especially when you are a child who could not speak properly. There were only few who would try to understand me patiently, without making fun of me. Most of them would only make me feel differentiated, as if I was not a human who can be hurt too. Just because I chose to not fight back, so my dad won't get to know about all of it, they thought I was their.. Experiment bag. They would lock me in empty rooms, tear my notebooks, hide my bag, throw water on me and most importantly, they would hurt me by their sharp language. Or pata hai, ek baar jab aap ye soch lete ho ki shayad aap me hi koi kami hogi, toh har buri cheez hone me aap apne aap ko hi blame krte ho. Koi aapka message seen krke chor de, abruptly call end krde, aapki taraf dekh ke Hass de, ya apni nazre pher le. Aisa lagta ki you are just worthless. Confidence ki toh band baj jati hai. Na Mai class me kabhi answer de paayi, na kabhi kisi competi

As lavanya opened the doors of their room, she looked at the black suit jacket of Abhishek, hanging on the railings. She ignored it, going down when she noticed that the dining table was all set with the breakfast and Abhishek was just sitting on his chair. Just sitting. When he felt her presence, he turned to look at her and for a second their eyes met, before she averted her eyes. Once again, she felt uncomfortable from his gaze. It was as if she had gone to square one. All the progress, all the steps she made towards him, were going vain. She took her handbag from the table, ignoring the shivers his eyes sent her. And before she could take step away, he stopped her by wrist and she hissed. His hold loosened and he made her sit on a the chair next to his and took the first-aid box that he made sure to bring here. He put the ointment in her wrist, on the cuts. She hissed in the sensation and he fought back the tear that was about to escape, knowing it was because of him and his an

"CUT THE DRAMA AND SPEAK PROPERLY." He yelled back and all the flashes, i thought i was over with, came running back. #"Vaishnavi, please open the door. Its..its smellind (smelling) here. Please let me tome (come) . I promise to never answer you bact (back) ..please open the door." I cried, banging the door of the girl's washeroom but she didn't complied.Instead she just laughed. "No, you bitxh. You need to be reminded that you can't take my place. How dare you top the exams when you can't even speak properly. You never gave the answers in class, i did. And you managed to top the papers? Now keep shouting from here because no one enters this wing."She left.I kept sobbing there, yelling my lungs out, but no one helped. It was only after the sweeper came and opened the door. I could not even tell him or anyone what happened, because it only meant another torture. #"And its a DOAL (goal) ...Yeahh" i jumped in happiness as our team won the basketb

Today was the reception of the couple, we missed the marriage of. Abhishek had already cleared his schedule and was getting ready in my old room while here i was struggling with the plates of my saree. Everytime i tried to pin it, it would open again because of my shaking fingers.I didn't know why but i felt anxious and like an old habit, my fingers felt a lot weak. I tried to crack the fingers but it was not of any help. I was going frustrated how i could not even wear a saree when i wear it almost everyday. "Lavanya, are you ready?" Abhishek asked knocking the door and i sighed sitting on bed and telling him to come in. And when he saw my condition, he asked me with concern, "what happened?""I don't know. Its just the plates i can't set properly." "So wear the dress you bought for their marriage." He suggested, giving me a glass of water that i gulped quickly. "It is such a pretty dress. I want to save it for another auspicious day
