*Abhay Pov* “Abhay!” she called when we are calmly having our dinner. “Hmm...” I said still continued to eat the delicious food made by her. Actually, she is not that great at cooking like she says, but she is pretty good. “Abhay!” she again called me. “Let me enjoy my dinner, Usha.” I said not looking up at her. “Mr.Whatever! If you don’t look up and talk to me in one second, then you can keep company for the couch for the next few days starting from today.” I heard her threatening words, and I immediately looked up. “What happened Mrs.Whatever?” I asked her smiling. “First allow me to say one thing. You have a very bad habit of not listening to other's words when you decide not to in your mind. And that is a pretty bad habit.” She replied in a serious tone. “Noted! Now tell me what do you want to talk about?” I asked her raising an eyebrow. “Well, we decided to make our parents understand their lives with their partner and make them behave normally from this day forwards. O
*Usha Pov* “Your son happened, Uncle.” I replied and walked towards him. As per our plan, I actually need to confide with Uncle and not Aunty. “What did he do?” He asked frowning. “Ask me what did he didn’t do Uncle.” I replied, bringing tears into my eyes. “We are getting worried, Usha. Tell us what happened.” He again asked. “He just doesn’t talk to me Uncle. He goes to the office and then returns that’s all he does. I tried my best to make him communicate with me, but he just is not interested in that.” I replied sitting on the chair near them. “Didn’t you ask him why is he acting like that?” Aunty asked frowning, and I am sure she is thinking about our phone call. As per their behavior, we both were sure that she will not say anything about the phone call to Uncle as she needs to actually “Communicate” with him. “Yeah! I asked him actually demanded the answer from him. He said that in an arranged marriage, this is how any couple should be. Can you believe it? I mean which
*Usha Pov* At present my Dad and Uncle are sitting in the study room discussing about the “Situation”. Abhay told me a secret hole through his room where I can hear their conversation, and at present I am doing that. “So now I understand why he said that she was fighting with him. I mean, who will not do that when the person doesn’t even make any conversation with her.” I heard Dad saying with irritation. “ Er... Is not having good conversation between the couples wrong?” I heard uncle asking in confusion, and I can tell that he is uncomfortable asking that one. “Of course! I mean communication is very important in any relationship.” Dad replied. You are such a hypocrite Dad. When did you have a conversation with Mom properly? I thought, shaking my head. “But having fighting conversation is also bad for any couple.” Uncle said after a few minutes. “Er... yes!” Dad said uncomfortably I guess. I stopped myself from laughing. I mean they are just telling the person in front of th
*Usha Pov* “Hey! I just reached the café. Where are you?” I asked him when he lifted his phone. “Behind you!” he whispered, and I turned towards him. We both hugged each other and then sat down ordering some coffee. While drinking we talked what happened today morning. “They kind of asked me to prepare the breakfast when I was reading the paper. I huffed and started saying I don’t even have one minute of my life to do something I only wish. As usual, they went inside the study and started saying great things about our Mom’s. What about you?” I explained him and asked him. “I kind of asked them to prepare breakfast so early in the morning you know when they just woke up. When I get to know that they still didn’t prepare I said no one knows what to do at which time. So they too started saying great things about their husbands.” He replied chuckling. “I think in a few days they will meet up. And we will not get time to meet like this again. Every day I can’t leave the house so earl
*Abhay Pov* “So that’s it for one month anniversary?” She asked, smirking as we finished our dinner. “Nope! Now call your Dad and tell him that you are going to stay at your cousin’s house.” I replied, waiting for our bill. “Why?” she asked confused. “Just do as I said dear wife.” I replied. After she called I asked her to call Deepthi. When she did I took the phone from her and said, “Deepthi! This is your Jiju.” “Hey Jiju! What a surprise?” She asked. “Ok, I will tell you one thing and this is a secret between us. Usha is going to stay at your place now, and you need to remember it.” I replied. “If she is coming here, then why do I need to remember it?” She asked confused. “Because she is not going to come there.” I replied and hung up when she said ‘Ok’. “Let’s go!” I said and dragged her outside after I paid our bill. I drove us very slowly. I mean really slowly until I get the message, but when I did I rushed us towards our home. “Wait! Are you not going to call your
*Abhay Pov* Next day she talked normally with me before I dropped her at the café. But I know she was still hurt by the words I said yesterday. When I walked into my cabin, I saw Shruthi come out of her, but I didn’t say anything and entered mine. After some time she entered and asked, “Did the plan failed?” “No! It did work.” I replied, switching on the computer. “Then why are you in such a gloomy mood?” She asked, sitting in front of me. “Nothing!” I replied and started opening the file for our new project. “Come on, Abhay! I am your best friend tell me.” she insisted. “This is the reason for my mood.” I said closing my eyes. “What do you mean?” She asked, confused and I opened my eyes to see that she is really confused. “You just pressure me to tell everything to you, and I do as I am used to it. But Usha is getting hurt that I am sharing everything with you.” I replied sighing. “What? She is not the girl who gets hurt just by that. Something else happened tell me.” She
*Usha Pov* “Usha! I think you need to go to doctor at least today.” Abhay said, rubbing my back as I am throwing up everything I just had for breakfast. “Why are you saying the same thing every day for the past one week?” I said washing my face. “Because you are not doing the same thing I am asking every day for the past one week.” He replied, and I smiled at him shaking my head. “You finally learned how to win me in the arguments.” I said, circling my arms around his neck. “What can I say? If I don't, then my dear wife will torture me, you see.” He said teasingly and rubbed my nose with his. I smirked and released myself from him walking back. He narrowed his eyes, and I lowered my eyes. He was looking at himself and glared at me. “Why did you do that?” He asked frowning. “You are teasing me everyday that I am changing my suit twice. So today you will also do that.” I replied, looking at his wet shirt, which was caused as I pressed my wet suit with his while hugging. “Ok! Le
*Abhay Pov* I looked at the closed door in shock for a few minutes until I felt a slap on my shoulder. I turned towards Shruthi and saw her grinning at me. “Why are you smiling so suddenly? Weren’t you crying until now?” I asked her shocked. “You idiot! Didn’t you hear? She is pregnant, which means you are going to be a Dad.” she replied scowling. “She really said that right. I thought I just dreamt it.” I said still amazed. “What are you waiting for? She came all the way here to tell you that news, but you as usual didn’t get prepared yourself to hear it deciding it in your brain. Now she must be so hurt.” Shruthi said making me realize what I just did. How stupid can I be? I need to go near her, and we both should celebrate this. With that thought I rushed outside my cabin and towards Raj Industries. I walked towards the receptionist and asked, “I need to see Usha.” “And you are?” she asked, not looking up. “I am Abhay Sharma.” I replied gasping for air. She immediately lo
