U know,Right???...
"Asthaaa Yaar meri tie kaha hai? Mere shoes nahi mil rahe, and we are getting LATEE!" He shouted at the top of his voice.
"Wait I am coming, I had kept all your things in place so that you find them easily still you..." Astha replied.Already he woke up late and now showing tantrums! Humppp!! As she came from bath partially wrapping her saree she was shocked to see the disheveled state of the room! As if it had been hit by a tornado!
He still stood there with his casual tracks on and the vest.He was pacing the room like a mad rabbit!"He has not even bothered to dry-up his wet ruffled hair, is he going to make an appearance in the party like this?" She shuddered with the thoughts of other girls who will be present in the party ogling at her handsome husband!!
She herself couldn't remain unaffected by his wet locks of hair falling over his forehead,which gave him a boyish aura. "oh no, she was staring again!" His light stubble which was a little thick over his chin groove, he looked gorgeous enough to eat! His cute eyebrows, which when twitched conveyed mostly his naughtiness, very rarely anger too! And with the newly bought black framed spectacles, which were advised by the ophthalmologist , she couldn't help staring!
"oh hello!"he snapped his fingers dragging her back to reality, that she failed to see he had twitched his brows ."Shlok I had told you to wake up early, but you didn't! and now the room... What is wrong in your head??"
"Meri kya galti hai? I am so confused what to wear, and also I didn't know what you were going to wear so how could I get ready?" he faked innocence. "What do you mean how?? Do I need to make you wear your clothes too? Shlok please we already have one child, don't act like another!" She was irritated! "What I meant is...we should be wearing be wearing matching clothes naa!!!" he said winking and placing his hands on her slightly swollen tummy and traversing the small of her back...Astha couldn't stop laughing, Shlok why are you behaving like this!! She spoke in between catching her breath.." Shlok I am pregnant but you are showing all the symptoms of hormonal changes...please, this is Kavya's party..lets not spoil this for her! And leave me now, I am giving you all your "accessories " get dressed and go!" she tried to push him with a shy smile, realizing what he was doing to her waist!
"Are you both coming or not??" came a voice with a knock from other side of their bedroom door."you know right ,I don't like to wait!! 5 mins only!
Both jolted apart, but landing beside each other on the bed.Astha who was standing with her back towards the bed had lost her balance and pulled Shlok along herself on their bed! Even in this unexpected fall shlok took care he dint hurt her... "Astha" he said snaking his hand around her waist carefully, " how do we always manage to fall? Over each other? Hmm? Tell na" he said teasing her. His coal black eyes eating into her blatantly...but Astha started to wriggle before their positions changed Shlok's intentions!!!!
She hurriedly got up from the bed, without realizing her half-done saree pleats were undone completely now under the weight of her too-good-for-his-own-advantage husband! "I didn't do anything, swear! It was just a mistake" he drawled back."Badtameez" she muttered under breathe.
"okay I did it na? so let me correct what I messed up" he continued with brow-twitching..."haha when did you go to wife-grooming classes Mr. Badtameez Agnihotri?!" She found it too funny...Shlok making her saree pleats would be the last thing she imagined in his hypothetical book of "how to woo your wife"!!
"Umm ..."he turned her back towards him and slowly made her stand infront of the mirror.Astha was confused and amused.Sliding his hands from the sides of her waist and upfront he held the two ends of the saree in his hands," let me tell you how" Astha gave a shy one-sided smile and looked down, at how his hands, his 3 fingers meticulously working on her saree continuously nuzzling her wet shampooed-hair ...now she had doubts creeping in her mind, how did he learn to do this all of a sudden?? He never did it before! "What do you think I do when you go to have bath in the mourning?" his husky voice was back! " You sleep! Ofcourse!"
"and what do you think I do when you come from bath?" "ofcourse you are sleeping at that time Shlok" What kind of silly questions are you asking!
"And what do you think I am BUSY doing when you come out of the bathroom, sweeping your wet hair to your shoulder and carefully wrapping your saree?? Even huskier, Astha was drowning in that effect..."Ofcourse Shlok you are slee... WHAT?? What do you mean? You mean...meaning you look at me every single day all these years while you were feigning sleep!" shocked would be a small word..Astha looked away with embarrassment and shy, she was completely caught offgaurd by her husband of over 7 years and the father of her unborn child."so this is how you knew how to...she bit her lip unable to say more.How all these years she had come after bath and dressed up, then going to her cutie-pie baby-in-sleep husband to kiss him and wake him up after having an eyeful of his handsome features! Now she comes to know he had put up the act, and watching...! Astha couldn't meet his hot gaze and turned to hide herself in his rock-hard front.How she would love to stay that way every moment...
"5 mins are oVERRR!" the person barged into the room, face expressing irritation." You know right I hate being lied to! Ashlok broke their hug to face the dynamite.Thank God he dindnt know time reading, it was more than 5!!
"I had given you both 5 mins, why aren't you ready yet?? Astha was still recovering from their less than a second before incident. The blush wasn't ready to leave her cheeks! She dint pay attention to what the person said, while Shlok took his clothes wary of the next outburst!
"What are you doing? Why aren't you ready as yet? Are you planning to embarrass me infront of my girl friends who think my Dad is some Greek God hmm? Shlok nonchalantly went got, ready with his shirt blazer..he did look like one now!! Whilst Astha did her hair and light make-up, trying to escape the angry glances oh her 6 year old son! Shlok looked at her reflection in the mirror, how he would continue his sweet torture hadn't Abhi come!Grins.
"Kavya didu ij going abload..you know where that is right? Vely far away...thich party is for her and I don't want to be late...Woww Ayi! You look so nicee...if you were my age I would surely ask you for a date" he winked!! "He didn't know where abroad is exactly, but knew what is a date! And did he just say his girlfriends? If I hadn't known He was my son I would have fainted with disbelief, Like father-like son! Astha sighed.
Abimaan, Abhi was their 6 year old mischievous son, he resembled his mom phenotypically, but behaivour and habits of his dad.He was a miracle child..despite severe complications in the the pregnancy the child had survived,he had brought the family closer and they were really proud to have him, hence Abhimaan! Sometimes he behaved like a grown-up, scolding both of them, while sometimes his age when he wanted to get his demands fulfilled.
"Ayiii chale? Take me in you arms na plzzz!! Shlok intervened "Abby" Astha gave him a don't-call-him-that look, "okay baba Abhi ...you come I will carry you down! Ur mom already has to carry your sister na" "Oh yeah' he put his tongue out and giggled.Kissed her tummy," AYi I want her with me as early as possible okee!" "You know right, Abhimaan Shlok Agnihotri gets what he wants" Shlok said teasing her. Impatient father and son ,she nodded her head.
She was pregnant 4 months now.All were elated Ayi, Varad dada Sojal vahini and Baba! Kavya was sad because she had got scholarship for secondary education abroad...she had agreed after lot of persuasion to accept it and leave.Ayi had taken a lot of care about all her necessities...Sojal looked after her like a blood-sis! Shlok was never less protective than he always was!
She thanked Bappa for this wonderful family and left behind them.
