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 (getI set the dining table, keeping all the dishes and ran to my old room. But how can i forget that my life is not so easy? With a heavy heart, i looked at Abhishek who i bumped upon, with a nervous smile, taking two steps back."The Din_ner is readyy." I managed to speak in a broken nervous voice, wandering if i was developing a stuttering problem. No that shouldn't happen or he will leave me again. 'You are a walking freak and a speaking mess.'I took a deep breadth, before speaking confidently. "Dinner is Ready." _____After an awkward dinner, i washed the dishes and cleaned my kitchen, prolonging the time as much as i could. To avoid the one who i know, must be waiting for me. But i was lifted in air, in a second.I wiggled to get out of his hold but it only tightened making me cuss Abhishek mentally. because i didn't had the guts to cuss him after what happened."Stop it, Lavanya! Its not that, we will
After i shifted in Abhishek's room, things went more beautiful than they already were. The random movie nights, awesome dinner in our terrace, plans of cooking together on weekends and him telling me the funny type of families he has encountered in business, made my life way more interesting. Our relationship has only been growing and flourishing. Abhishek started tucking flowers in my hair early in the morning. He somehow knew what saree or Kurti I would wear and he will bring as per it's colour. He has grown more comfortable in sharing his insecurities and what he felt. He still never slept without us cuddling and he still managed to get up early and hit the gym. We, together, bought stuff for the villa that made it look prettier and way more cozy and comfy. I changed the color cohesion from black and white to Navy and taupeIt was like, a month passed in a blink. I had also joined a college as a psychology professor and had made many friends. The envi
The two Musketeers grinned ear to ear and before anything else, their clappings were the only thing that i could hear. I felt the urge of chopping my tongue that slipped at the wrong time and in the wrong place. The two will be hell of a tease now."Yes, that's cool. My nephew and nieces will have their names after thier chacha. Our team name will be VVV." Vansh did a happy stupid dance and Ruchika pouted, giving me a pleading look. I tried to smile back, but it was not possible. I was drowning in the pool of embarassment."Rishabh and Rashi! We will be RRRR. Pleasee" Ruchika pouted and looked at me, expectantly. The names were good, bu--"Who are these Rishabh and Rashi?" I was dumbstruck to hear the familiar manly voice of Abhishek and i was glad that my back must be facing him. I looked at Vansh, who was smiling too widely, ready to blurt it all and Ruchika who had already made a face to convince Abhishek to name our children with R.Our childr
"Abhishek?" I whispered softly to my husband with whom i was cuddling. His hand was possessively wrapped around me as his hand was under my t-shirt, rubbing the patterns randomly on my waist. He has never been so lost as he was being at the moment. "Hmm?" He hummed. "What's wrong?" I asked, tracing his subtle beard that made him look hotter. His heart beats were in abnormal speed. Not like it usually was when we are cuddling. I knew he was undergoing some tension. I just expect him to tell me by himself.And when his fingers stopped, i was confirmed in my assumption. "Our children, lavanya." I looked at him, showing him that i was believing him when i was just trying to read some fear in his eyes. "Huh?""Hmm. I wanted two girls. Boys are irritating." He sighed."You are a boy yourself, Mr. Gill." I played and felt relief when the crease between his eyebrows finally vanished."Correction, i'm a man. You wanna see?" My breadth hitched when he pushed me in my back and towered me. H
"Lavanya." He sighed. His tone was serious. A lot more than he has ever been. "Bhai has many rivalries. Some of them play fair, but there are others who want to push him down by hook or crook." He sounded gentle as we parted."They are playing dirty. Last week, someone tried to abduct Mom but the bodyguards saved her. The reason why Bhai sent them to the village. No one knows where that village is. Even Ruchika is here, because he didn't want her to be alone in the hostel. You know how she is. She easily comes into the sweet words trap." He took a long pause and i looked at him. "No one told me that mom was attacked. Why? Am i not the family member?" I asked."You are. No one really knows about it except we men. And now you. Mom had specifically mentioned that Bhai should not blurt it out, because you started getting the way you were. You were enjoying your life."I didn't know if that was to comfort me because it only made me obnoxious. They were thinking about my happiness, overloo
The movie started and i realised it was a horror movie. I felt all the three pair of eyes looking at me through their corner, but none took any initiative to actually ask me if we should continue with this one.Not wanting to say it loud, i kept sitting there while counting the numbers but one loud scream from the movie, and i was gone. "I..I am sleepy now!" I muttered getting up, but someone pulled me down again. "You cannot! Its the first time we four are chilling, and you are leaving us. Not fair." Vansh pouted and Ruchika agreed. Mischief shined in their eyes which they thought was fake innocence. I turned to Abhishek for his help, but these three were really siblings. None helped me and just forced me to sit there.Who could believe that just minutes ago, the three could not even talk freely? I closed my eyes and dig myself in my husband's chest, but his brother (no one mine) started pulling me again. The theatre echoed with the screamings and laughter. __________I went to th
True to my words, i was chilling in our room while the brothers were cleaning the house and Ruchika was guiding them. I was seeing everything through his laptop of which i had seen the password when i was cuddling with my workaholic husband. Its a little secret between us, along with many. I was enjoying seeing Abhishek mopping and Vansh dusting the flower vases. I only expected them to mop the floor and nothing else but it was Ruchika was enjoying giving them tedious tasks.Just right at the moment, a notification popped of a mail. Not in the official id but his personal id. So mentally apologizing him, i opened the notification and it was .. Trisha's picture who was having her ice-cream while rubbing her 8-month belly. Yatharth bhai was laughing at the camera. Did he sent the picture? But the email id was not his or Trisha's. But then i started looking at the other mails and found that the same id was sending many photos. Some of mine teaching in the college or jesting with the c
Abhishek and i left their apartment and drove towards our penthouse. Abhishek was dead silent and that scared me because i knew he noticed trisha's mother-in-law's taunts behind her sweet talks. He would have burst out on the spot but the puppy eyes worked. We took takeaways from the stores as Abhishek had hardly eaten anything there and so did i. He was just busy controlling his anger while i tried my best to include him in the silly-funny conversations with Yash and Trisha. Bhai was periodically apologising to us with his eyes and it was not a good sight to have your brother looking at you like that.After our silent dinner, we were exhausted and directly hit the bed after a hot shower, cuddling. It felt like home as i sniffed his cologne. The random circles over my belly and him laying with his eyes shut and mind working."Abhishek?""Hmm.." He hummed and i planted my lips on his, keeping them still as i was still oblivion as to how i should kiss him. He looked at me with wide eye
"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
