Chapter 18
She stood in the porcelain chamber, feeling the water bang down on her shoulder blades. She lathered herself completely and wanted the water to wash away tension in her neck. It didn't. She felt a hand rub her back.
"You followed me in here?" She asked angrily.
"What better wake-up call than a hot shower and me?" He asked, smirking. As the warm water left steam rising in the rest of the room, Mahi felt a cold string along her neck. She stared to see a silver pendant there. She felt his warm lips trail kisses across her neck.
"Angad…It's beautiful."
"Happy anniversary" He traced her spine with his thumb.
"How are you up so early?" Mahi asked him, shampooing her hair. His hands took over and she let go as he answered, "I wanted to surprise you."
"You did. But no romance this early in the morning. We're both gonna be late for work…" He groaned.
"Mahi. C'mon, you're no fun."
"I'll be fun when you come home tonight. Right now, we're getting late for work. You're going on tour soon." Mahi proclaimed. He silently cursed Kanan.
"I read it in your day planner, Kanan didn't tell me." Mahi said, reading his mind. "Now hurry up. Some very pretty girl is waiting for you right this minute." She took her robe.
"I don't know how you read my mind. And by the way, meeting isn't till 8. I don't care about any pretty girl but you…" He followed her out, wrapping a towel around his waist.
"Yes, but sweetheart at 7 you have a breakfast meeting with Mr. Arora."
"Come with me." He pulled her onto his lap on the bed.
"I can't. I'm too hungry."
"So eat breakfast." He kissed her deeply, fiddling with her tongue.
"Karwa Chauth…?" She said simply. She kissed him again, his mouth trailed down her collarbone and he was very close to pulling her towel off.
"Angad!" She whined. "Getting late. I have to get ready for that collection soon, its bridal and then we got one for maternity wear too, we're busy…"
"Mahi, I want a baby." Angad said randomly.
"Me too babe, but we've been trying nah? We can't speed up the process." She said, getting dressed. He
grinned. "No Angad…"
"Gawd Mahi, you kill every chance I get." He frowned, pulling his jeans on.
"Wear something nice, Angad please." She asked. She smiled at his face with the fake frown, "And can you come home early tonight…like before the moon comes out?"
"Of course sweetheart, anything for you." He said, gritting his teeth.
"Anyways baby, I didn't make breakfast cuz I can't have any duh. But you're having breakfast at the Hilton with the Aroras. I checked with the Hilton, don't order
French toast, they serve it with raspberries…"
"I like raspberries." Angad pouts.
"Mr. Arora is allergic. And don't be late for your meeting at 8. Kanan will be waiting; you guys will be meeting up with Nishant. He hates late comers." Angad groaned. "He's your event manager for the tour…" Angad opened his mouth, but Mahi cut him off. "No baby, I already asked. I can't come with you." She kissed his mouth and handed him his wallet.
"You keep track of everything…" He smiled, kissing her.
"I know." She smiled. "Come by the boutique before sundown or you won't have anything to wear to the pooja at Vidya's."
"Another pooja?" Angad groaned. Mahi nodded, tying his tie.
"If you don't come, that's fine. But you know, I can't eat until you show up."
"I'll be there…" He said, taking his briefcase.
"Be extra nice. We're screen testing for the maternity collection…"
"You're gonna make you pick you up amongst a large mass of pregnant woman?"
"VERY pregnant women, large, supermodel pregnant women. I knew you'd understand." She kissed him, smiling. "Now go! You're getting late." She scolded grabbing her portfolio, on her way out of the door.
Hours later, she was using that same tone to shout orders around her boutique. She felt warm arms wrap around her waist, she sighed.
"My husband will be here in a bit; you really shouldn't be so open with me…" She sighed. She turned around to find a frowning Angad.
"Angad?" She sighed, disappointed, "It's you."
He frowned harder as Mahi silently laughed to herself, "Who were you expecting?" He said, indignantly.
"Your hotty of an event manager." She smiled, kissing him lightly. He rolled his eyes at her, "Slutty cheater." He muttered. She hit his arm lightly, pointing to a sherwani hanging near the door.
"What? It's nice." Angad stated.
"It's yours! I designed it for you." She marveled. Angad examined it closely; it was black with silver-gold embroidery on it.
"It's nice." He said approvingly. Mahi frowned. "I spent all week on it and all it you say is nice? I wanted you to wear it to the pooja."
"I am. I love it. It's great. I don't know how you know my taste so well…" He said apologizing.
"Three years is enough to figure your taste out…" She smiled, swinging her arms around his neck. "I love you, Angad Khanna." She said, sighing like a teenage just fallen in love.
"I love you too, Mrs. Mahi Khanna." He said to her, resting his hands along her waist. She frowned.
"You never call me Mahi anymore."
"I still can't believe you married me." He sighed.
"What did you think?" Mahi asked, amused.
"I thought you and Shabd would elope…" He started; he noticed the wide grin on Mahi's face.
"You know what?" She grinned wider.
"What?"
"Being married to you has made me realize one thing…" Mahi started.
"What?" He pouted at the memory for finding Mahi sitting comfortably in Shabd's lap.
"I didn't know what being in love was until I married you. I was infatuated with Shabd since he was the first guy to take interest in this immature Goth girl; I fell in lust with him."
"There's a statement every guy wants to hear from his wife…" Angad joked. Mahi looked at him.
"You were right. If it isn't till death do us part, it means nothing…" He sat down; she plopped down in his
lap.
"Not completely…I fell in love with you long before we were married."
"Really?" Mahi asked, amused. He nodded.
"You were my first fan. And the first one to care about how I actually felt after Kripa. You were one of the few that cared. Like seriously cared."
"So you knew it was me…?" She asked.
"It was embarrassing being in love with a fan though." He blushed deeply. Mahi smiled since many men didn't.
"It's not embarrassed being married to one?" She asked amused. He shook his head.
"No embarrassment having a wife that you're madly in love with…" He smirked.
"Madly in love with…" She mused, grinning.
"I gotta show you something when we get home." Angad grinned back.
"What?" Mahi asked, mischief dripping off her voice. He cocked his head to the side.
"You know that drawer I keep locked?" She nodded vigorously. "I'll unlock it for you."
"Really? YAY!" She screamed shrilly. "Oh damn. We got to get changed so we can make it to Vidya' on time." She shoved the sherwani to him. "Change."
"Change? Yahaan?" Angad asked, confused. She nodded.
"Main bhi to yahi change kar rahi hoon." Angad grinned evilly as he began to unzip her dress.
"Oye. That's not what I meant." She replied, grinning. "I'm changing in the bathroom." Angad frowned, shrugging.
Mahi took a masked hanger to the bathroom. She returned, with all her make-up and hair done, in a red and orange langha. She wore silver jhumke and matching red choodiyan. She smiled and rolled her eyes at her husband who was still checking his hair in the mirror.
"Chalo." She dragged him, he huffed at her. "How are you always ready so quick? Women are supposed to take hours…" Angad said, sliding his hand through his hair.
"I'm not the average woman, Angad." Mahi said, frowning at his feet. "Where are your shoes?"
"In the car." He grinned.
"Chalo…I'm damn hungry yaar!" She complained on the way to the car. He rolled his eyes at her. Upon stepping into Vidya's house, Mahi was greeted with a person that came and instantly wrapped themselves around her.
