Mrs. Rao
After a night full of pleasure and passion, Pallavi's slumber broke when she felt ticklish on her shoulder. She pretty much had an idea of what might be causing the tickle.
"Good morning...." giggling, she turned around to be face-to-face with him
He was seated against the headboard and had dipped his head down to plant kisses from her neck to shoulder.
"Good morning, mera Saree Ka Dukan," he pecked on her forehead.
She got up and sat on his lap. "Itni achchhi subha meri pehle kabhi nehi huyi," she confessed, resting her head on his bare chest, hugging him.
"Mera bhi..." he wrapped his arms around her as their foreheads touched.
Raghav's phone started ringing, breaking their peaceful moment.
"Ab kaun pyaar ka dushman ban raha hain? Tumhara bhi phone todh doon kya main?" Pallavi suggested.
"Woah, Saree Ka Dukan!" he was shocked at her suggestion as it's very unlike her. "Calm down, tum thora zyada bold nehi horaha hain? By the way, Marathi mother-in-law ka call hain."
With that, he answered the call. "Marathi mother-in-law! Kaisa hain tum? Aur Sanki Sasur...I mean Marathi Sasurji kaisa hain?"
Pallavi was feeling very bold or romantic or both, and that was definitely dangerous. She started tracing her finger across his bare chest. His eyes widened at her audacity. She chuckled and started kissing his neck. It was getting difficult for him to continue a conversation with Sharda as she was driving him crazy.
"Marathi mother-in-law, tum Pallavi se baat karo." Without even waiting to hear the reply from the other end, he instantaneously passed the phone to her.
"Haan, Aai," Pallavi said on the phone, chuckling at Raghav's reaction. "Raghav ko Amma bula rahi hain iss liye chala gaya." She replied to Sharda's question of why Raghav suddenly passed the phone to her.
"Not fair, Saree Ka Dukan," he mouthed to her and laid her on the bed to which she yelped audibly. "Kuch nehi, aise hi," she responded to Sharda's query of why she yelped and glared at him.
He laughed silently at her helplessness and began his sweet assault on her. Her toes curled, eyes were getting heavy and she almost lost track of what her Aai was telling her.
"A...aai, Amma mujhe bhi bula rahi hain. Main aapse baad mein ba..at karti hoon, haan?" She stuttered to complete the sentence.
As soon as Sharda disconnected the call, Pallavi gave in to the pleasure due to what he was doing to her.
Sometime later, RaghVi arrived for breakfast and wished the others morning.
"Anna, yeh phone mila aapke study mein." Farhad came with Pallavi's broken phone.
Amma shook her head sideways in disappointment and said, "Yeh kaisa baat hua, Raghav, tumne phirse todh-podh shuru kar dia?"
Pallavi chuckled at how everyone blames Raghav for anything broken.
"Amma, yeh maine nehi kia! Aapke bahu ko daanto, yeh kaam ussne kia hain." Raghav defended himself.
"Raghav, abhi tum jhooth bhi bol raha hain."
"Amma, Amma..." Pallavi controlled her laughter and confessed, "Raghav sach bol raha hain. Yeh phone mujhse hi toota hain. Usski galti nehi hain."
"Pallavi, tum bhi isske jaisa todh-podh karne lag gaya?" Amma was surprised.
"Kyun nehi karegi, Amma..." Keerti had to spit venom. "Bhai ke paas itna paisa jo hain. Poora fayda uthaygi unnka."
"Amma, aajkal bohot Raghav Rao jaisa bold hogaya hain yeh Saree Ka Dukan," Raghav said, ignoring Keerti.
"Kya karu Mrs. Raghav Rao hoon toh thora toh tum jaisa banna parega na," Pallavi replied.
Raghav smiled at her and turned to Farhad. "Pallavi ke liye ek naya phone le aana." to which he nodded.
"Kaha maine socha tha Pallavi ke wajah se Raghav thora sudhar jayega. Par yaha toh ulta Raghav ke wajah se Pallavi bigad raha hain."
They, excluding Keerti, shared a laugh.
"Achchha, Amma, Aai ka call aya tha. Mangala Gauri ke pooja ke liye aaj mujhe Deshmukh house jana parega." Pallavi informed.
"Haan, haan, beta, zarur jao."
Within an hour or so, RaghVi reached Deshmukh Niwas. But to their surprise, Mandar seemed to be leaving the house but stopped on his tracks when Pallavi came in his view.
"Pallavi! Main abhi tumse milne hi aaraha tha. Thank God tum thik ho," he frantically reached up to her, held her arms and was about to hug her.
Raghav's hand curled up into a fist and he was ready to punch him, but Pallavi gave an apt reply. She jerked Mandar's hands off of her and took a step back.
"What the hell, Mandar!" She yelled at him.
Raghav knew he didn't have to say anything as Pallavi will be enough to give Mandar a piece of her mind. So he leaned against the doorframe and watched the drama unfold with crossed arms.
Even Mandar was shocked at her response. "I...I am sorry... Mujhe aisa nehi karna chahiye tha."
"Pallavi, yeh kaisi baat huyi?" Bada Bindi aka Sulochana intervened. "Mandar kitna pareshaan horaha tha tumhare liye aur tum uss pe chilla rahi ho. Pati hain vo tumhara!"
"Kaku, sabse pehli baat... Mera pati yaha khada huya hain aur isska naam Raghav Rao hain, Mandar Deshmukh nehi. Aur doosri baat, mujhe toh samajh mein nehi aaraha ki itna pareshaan hone wali kya baat hogayi?"
"Vo tum kal raat se messages ya calls ke jawab nehi de rahi thi toh iss liye..." Mandar tried to act innocent.
"Haan toh? Matlab tum expect kya karte ho mujhse? Mandar, main maanti hoon tumhari yaaddash chali gayi hain. Lekin common sense toh hain nah abhi bhi? For God's sake, main shaadi shuda hoon! Ek shareef aadmi kyun ek shaadi-shuda ladki ko itni raat ko call karega?"
"I am sorry but mujhe iss aadmi pe bharosa nehi hain aur tumhari chinta hoti hain," Mandar snarled looking at Raghav.
"Tumhare bharosa karne na karne se mujhe koi matlab nehi hain. Pati mera hain, main karti hoon bharosa."
"Pallavi!" Vijay entered the scene. "Bhool gayi iss Raghav ne tumse zabardasti shaadi kia tha?"
She turned to Vijay, "Kuch bhi nehi bhooli main, Baba.... Bohot achchhe se yaad hain kaise apne mujhe adhi raat ko ghar se nikaal dia tha. Haan, maanti hoon humari shaadi zabardasti huyi thi lekin ab iss shaadi mein izzat hain, pyaar hain....jo mujhe pehle kabhi nehi mila. Isse zyada mujhe aur kya chahiye hoga?" Pallavi eventually got ovewhelmed as she remembered moments from their hate-turned-love marriage.
Sharda, Milind and Amruta were very happy knowing that Pallavi was finally getting all the happiness she deserved. Meanwhile, Raghav was touched how she stood up for herself and their marriage.
But the happy moment was soon cut short as Sulochana intervened again.
"Apne paison ke lalach ko pyaar ar izzat ka naam de rahi ho tum, Pallavi. Hum samajh sakte hain Raghav bohot ameer hain, tum aishoaraam se jeena chahti ho. Lekin tum waha khush nehi rahogi, beta..." Sulochana was trying to disguise herself as a caring aunt. "Tumhari asli khushi Mandar ke saath hain."
"Bas!" Vijay raised a hand to silent everyone, "Ab ek aur shabd nehi. Hume iss Raghav Rao aur usske patni se koi rishta nehi rakhna. Tum ameerlog yaha se jaa sakte ho," he joined his palms.
Pallavi took a deep breath and said, "Aap logo ko jo samajhna hain, samajh lijiye. Lekin ye sach kabhi nehi badlega ki main sirf Raghav Rao ki patni hoon. Ardhamaidha?"
With a final glare at Vijay, Sulochana and Mandar, Pallavi turned around and her eyes met with Raghav's. Just a look into her eyes and he could sense that she was breaking down inside even though she portrayed to be tough on the outside. He stepped towards her, held her hand and left the place without saying any word.
