"Jine mera dil luteya..aahaa.." Our group screamed and sang the song as we danced in the stage. Our group consisted all the ladies from the bride's and from the groom's side. We swayed our body like we were the dancing sensations. Even the middle generation and the older, danced like Mithun daa. Dadi, she was like a bomb today. Dressed in her cream color banarasi saree, she aced the floor with her cool moves and we cheered for her. "Ab assi munde ni baari aa.." The dj changed the music to some bhojpuri songs and the gents from groom's side started doing that chichore dance. We left the dance floor and let them enjoy, wanting to grab some snacks. It was fun to see them dancing, until they started pulling us in the centre again.When a man, who looked in his last thirties, pulled Ruchika, she voluntarily joined them and swayed her hips. I personally didn't liked the way they were enjoying her dance. Call me orthodox or late-fashioned, but calling a girl whom you met recently, 'laila',
"Lavanya!!" Abhishek shook me and i jerked open my eyes. I realised i fell asleep in the mid of my thoughts. Now there were only three of us, abhishek, ruchika and i. No workers. "I'm taking out the car, please come with Ruchika."I nodded and he left lazily. His own eyes were filled with sleep and there were coffee cups near his chair. Nonetheless, i tried to woke ruchika up, but she looked like a drugged person. Who answers you, but is still asleep.I dragged her out and we sat in the back seat. Abhishek drove the car while we girls, took the nap. After reaching the home, Ruchika yelled a little at us to disturb her sleep and demanded to sleep in the car itself.So Abhishek lifted her and went inside while i locked the main door of the house and went to kitchen to grab a glass of water. "Tired?" I felt a hand over my shoulder and recognized the voice of mom. I nodded. "Want to eat something?" She asked. She was wearing a random woolen kurti set."No mom." I denied knowing she herse
The rest of the day went in a blink because all of us were tired and mom told us to just eat, sleep and repeat today. Because from tomorrow its gonna be hustling!So here i am sitting on my bed with nothing to do, while Abhishek was sitting in the couch with his love in his arms and the kid beside him. Laptop and the mobile. "Abhishek?" He hummed in response. "I had my phone repaired last week, so you can have this mobile back." I said showing him the mobile he gave me. He looked at me with a frown and i smiled innocently. "What'd i do with it? And why did you repaired the mobile when you already had one?" He asked."I needed some documents." I told him. "And you can use this mobile as your second child. " he looked confused. "Tsk you can have your love i.e. laptop with you and both of the mobiles, the kids, in the either side of you. Full family, you know!" I laughed."And where are you, in the picture?" He asked sarcastically. "Maybe weeping in a corner orr partying in a club? Whi
Two days later."Trisha, your mother-in-law will scold you if she gets even a hint, that you are eating these junk foods." I warned Trisha who was eating like a starved dog from past an hour. In response she only said that she is loving these and has not eaten any of it since past a month as her mother-in-law had clearly restricted her. But thier daughter said that she can have it in a limit. We were sitting in her favorite restaurant and that explained why she is 'loving' the food here. She had not told aunty that she is with me or she would have not got the permission to step out of the house. Yatharth knew about our meeting so it was fine. Yash was in home as Trisha feared that he might open his mouth about her cheat-meal."Now its enough!" I told her and called the waitor with a bill. I paid it ignoring her pouty face and we left the restaurant. I called Yatharth and Abhishek individually to tell them that we're done and Yatharth came there to pick her after five minutes. Till t
"Lavanya, i've got something for you." i heard him and i peeked out of my duvet, wanting him to show me that 'something', but he had another plans.My duvet was snatched in a blink and i was pulled in a hard chest, with an arm wrapped my back. My breadth hitched. I could not see anymore. I was blind. "A_Abhishek?""Yes." He muttered. "Now open your eyes."My eyes were shut?I opened my eyes and saw some legal papers in front of me. I turned to Abhishek, confused and he motioned me to read. I followed the order.It was some property papers, which are to be transferred to Lavanya Abhishek Singh Gill--That's me. Lavanya Abhishek Singh Gill. Ah, i'm dead. I'm dead. I'm --"Your house is finally yours. It just needs your sign." He broke the silence in the room and i turned to him, not believing him. He nodded with a smile making me know It was true."Your dad wanted to give you this house, so now its legally yours. No more cases, no more tactics." He added.Does he mean the house i gre
"Why all leave me alone? Do they not love me? Am i really a bad omen?" My voice cracked and i felt him stoic. But he was quick to keep himself together and pull me to his lap, hugging me tightly. "I got you, baby."His embrace was warm and comfortable. I suddenly grew conscious about what i did. I never told these things. Heck i never meant that. I must have sounded so insecure, mean and selfish to complain about the only man who devoted his life for me. How could i? Dad would be so upset.Unwanted, my hold in his t-shirt tightened, pulling him more, to refrain him from leaving me. "You are not a bad omen. I won't leave you ever. Our family won't. Mom dad loves you more than me. Even Vansh, he always complains that i snatched his friend from him. And Ru, she always asks me to take her along with us, because she misses baking with you." He consoled, patting me like a baby.I told you, he will not leave me. He won't.____After an hour, i was still hugging him but laying on my side
Harini and Hritesh were performing their wedding rituals while Ruchika was busy finding the groom's shoes which his friends had hid. She was accompanied by her cousins. Even i wanted to help them, but Abhishek didn't let me. He was busy making me Scarlet as he had gripped my waist tightly, pulling me to his side and focussing on the wedding rituals. And seeing the cold atmosphere, i didn't complained and rested my head on his chest.Not knowing when i slept.___"Lavanya, wake up. Its time for Vidai." I heard Abhishek whispering as he shook me. I sat on my position, finding myself in a simple elegant guest room of the banquet hall. I was covered in a soft blanket."You fell asleep on the sofa, so i carried you here." He answered before i could question and i nodded, getting up. My head feels heavy!He left the room and i quickly adjusted my outfit and made myself presentable before joining down. Harini was sobbing, hugging her parents and every family member had moist eyes. Even Abhi
The night fell sooner as i was still busy unpacking my suitcase and setting the clothes neatly. My mind only surrounded by Abhishek and his words. He was stubborn from our School-days. Always vocal about what he felt. And still failed to show his soft side.I was checking my answer sheet very attentively as the marks i got, were unexpected. It was my first paper in this school and i was....Failed. Dad will be so upset. I never got failed in my last school. And i finally found the mistake. The teacher did not checked my two answers. If i ask the teacher, then i can pass the exam at the very least. Yes...But then a boy came to get the paper and i realized that the respected teacher of the subject had left the class and it was now the recess. I need to meet the Teacher sooner or she will print wrong marks. I panicked and shook my head, refusing to give the papers. "I have some problem in paper. I need to have a talt with ma'am or i will det (get
"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
