Even Next morning she was not feeling well. She emptied her stomach in the sink while brushing her teeth as well. The more she puked the better she felt. Thus confirming her doubts of food poisoning. She swore herself she won't eat any street food. Specially with brown water in them. She was back at his side with his morning coffee. He woke up to his very own private sun shining bright just for him. "Good morning! My little Mrs. Sun Shine" greeted he with a caress to her cheek. Her heart filled with love and warmth that was more powerful than any Sun Ray. She leaned forward and kissed him and he didn't let her break the kiss until both were out of breath. "Loveyouhotri certainly can get used to this life style. Yes sir I can. How many people can say they have the sun and the moon sleeping next to you every day and night?" He said sitting up and leaning back on to the headboard. "Oh! Stop being a sleazyhotri. Just say you love me and your happy I'll be in cloud nine" she said resting her head on his chest. Listing to his heart beat. It beats for me. She thought. That's the sound of love. It really is the sweetest lullaby.
Shlok was back on full duty after 5 days. And everybody specially the women at work noticed the change in him. He was smiling more and was more talkative. He looked happy and almost everybody guessed it correctly. It had to be a girl. Finally Grumpyhorti has fallen for girl. They were sure of it. Next question was whose the lucky witch that managed to get him under her spell. They imagined her to be a long legged sex siren. Lucky bitch! they hissed in their sinful minds.
Arjun noticed it too. He just asked him point blank "who is she?" "When can I meet her?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about man. Don't give up on you're day job. For you suck at Psycho analysis" he said with a huge grin plastered on his face. He looked so much more younger when he smiled even astha said that to him.
They got use to routine. She would wake up early start with his coffee and then breakfast. She would make sure he had a proper breakfast at least. Sometimes he would come in for lunch some days skip lunch altogether if he's not able to make it home. She would text him. But she was not a nag. She knew he needed to be at his attentive best while on duty. And she let him have his space. It was he that would call and whatsapp her all the time. He missed her. And she did too. He was not keen to be on call like he used to. Arjun being the friend he is gladly took over from him. They had an unspoken understanding. Shlok was very grateful to him. Shlok knew Arjun knows the reason but didn't give him a hard time digging for details. But knew he was happy for him. Shlok would rush home the moment he's free. He would get her something most days. A book, sweets and candy Vada Pav, pastries, plants and of course black and white cows softies and figurines. And her absolute favourite Cup Cakes. She waited for him everyday by the lift. If not she'd be making a dash towards the lift and crash on to him. He was more than happy to be showered with her sometimes tender sometimes urgent but always passionate kisses. He looked forward to being pounced by his little cup cake.
One week after he joined SSP Kannar announced to all that was able to afford a ticket for the Police Welfare dinner not just to buy a ticket but to make sure their sorry asses are present on Saturday night at Taj Lands End Lawn. He personally reminded Agnihotri. "Don't disappoint me" He said. "No sir! I'll be there" Agnihotri reassured. Shit! There goes my Saturday night plans with my girl for a toss. Instead I have to be dressed like penguin and talk to undesirable and uninteresting people all night. He was glad that Arjun and most of the other guys will be there as well. And of course the girls will have a field day.
He got ready and left very reluctantly. Astha literally had to push him into the lift. He looked very dashing and handsome in his tuxedo. Like million bucks. What she liked the most was seeing him in that crisp white Armani shirt. He was a sight for sore eyes. She couldn't resist the temptation to take pictures of him and few selfies with him as well. She liked one in particular. One he took of them, with her hugging him from behind while seated on the bed.
Half an hour later she got a message - holy cow babes he's actually got s wife and she's gorgeous. She's not indian even. I'll talk to you later. Love you. Looking at the phone she smiled to herself.
Who? - she had no idea what he's taking about
Our Chief - SSP Kannar a.k.a. Tyson he replies
He tagged a pic from the dinner. It was them. She was a very beautiful lady indeed.
Dressed in a elegant midnight blue knee length cocktail dress with sheer sleeves. She assumed the earrings and the necklace to be diamonds. She had long legs. Six inch heels. She looked like a model. Not more than 28-30. Slim well curved figure. He looked tall as a tower. Moustache and the scared face. Very proudly standing next to her dressed in a tux as well. He looked like a mountain. She noticed his hand on her hip. He looked liked a man that's very much loved. She thought they made a odd but very cute couple. Like Beauty and the beast. Endearing.
Is he taller than you? Who was brave enough to cut him? She Messaged him.
Lil bit. Naxals! Long story I'll tell you once home. Read the reply message.
Little later she gets another message - babes Arjun got totally smoked by Mrs. Tyson. He was totally checking her out and asked her for a dance coz she knew his first name and she introduced her hubby to him. TYSON!!! His mouth is still open. So are all the others"
Guess what she calls him Baby! W*F is going on. How can anybody call that beast a baby. I need a drink. Read the message and she was laughing looking at the phone.
She replied - only the one who loves him. BTW what does he call her?
Are you sitting down JANIE GIRL! what is the world coming to? He replied back
Aww! That's just so sweet! I love your Tyson Baby! she sent back.
W*F! Should I get you his Autograph too! she read the reply.
Baby and JG are dancing she's all over him babes! I miss you :(
Arjun is still in shlock)) he's crazy she said reading the message.
Come home I'll save the last dance for you :)
And I want to know all about Baby and His Janie Girl. That was the last message.
She was up until he came home. It was always like that. She just couldn't sleep until she knows he's home back in her arms. She was binge watching Seinfeld. She felt soft warm moisture caressing her cheek. It was the familiar tinge and fragrance. She opened her eyes.
"Someone promised me a dance" he said removing the loose curls from her forehead. She jumped out of the couch and held out her hand towards him. He twirled her around and just pulled her real tightly towards him. She felt strange and happy at the same time. Strange as if he was afraid of something. The way he held her and breathed as if he's trying to suck in all her scent her essence to remember for an eternity. As if they're gonna part. She held on to him as well. The music played in the background Bono and U2 was singing ONE. This was their first dance and she in her black and white polka dot pjs and he in a Armani tux. How appropriate.
He was a good dancer. She was perfect. She was flying in his love. "Tell me about Baby and his Janie Girl. You promised!" She said swaying. "What?" He asked irritated. "I want to know all about him. He looked so Manly and dreamy" she said. "Oh! My...you horny lil thing...You've totally got the hots for him. Look at you! you're blushing" he said. "Yes! I appreciate a good thing when I see one" she said not backing down and with a shimmy round him. He got hold of her and pulled her towards his chest " What is it with tyson and beautiful women?" He said in her ear sending shivers down her spine. She held on to his shirt. "When you we're all praise for her I didn't say anything why the double standards Agnihotri" she said. "WTH! You even talk like him now. Like you said Even I was admiring a good thing. And right now I'm looking at the best thing that's ever happened to me. And there's nothing more I like to do than show my appreciation" saying he lifted her up kissed her and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
She was lying on his chest his arms wrapped around her. "tell me about your chief and his gorgeous wife. I'm sure there's an amazing love story behind them. I bet she was the damsel in distress. They were trying to hurt her she was crying for help but it was a lonely ally. He was walking by heard her and ran to her rescue. Beat them all till they turned blue. He was hurt too. She took him home cleaned the blood of his face and there was cut in his chest as well. He was bare chested she was wiping the blood off his chest and one thing led to another and they ended up making love and she came back looking for him. Oh! How romantic is that?" She said looking at him with dreamy eyes. " I'm sure he loves him more than words can ever explain and she even more. She saw her life in him, her future her unborn babies when she looked in to his droopy eyes. And he felt he can be himself with her. He was so comfortable with her he forgot they were two people not one. She left everything to be with him. And all he wanted was to give her everything and be everything she wished him to be. Can you imagine a love like that, Shlok! So selfless and pure" she asked him almost in tears. He rolled her to the side and said " Yes! Ours. But if this continues I'll be left drowning like Jack alone and cold and dead". "Don't ever say that. I'll never be anybody else's. Just yours until my last breath" she said getting very emotional and turning away from him. "Does that mean you don't want to know about Tyson and his Janie Girl?" He asked kissing her shoulder. She quickly turned towards him.
He told her about all that he knew about SSP Kannar.
The man who never calls anybody with their first name, the man that was taken prisoner by the Naxals and tortured starved tied to tree for 5 days and escaped with his life and was found unconscious barely alive by villagers some 5 kilometres from where he was held. He spent the next 6 months in hospital. Recovering from the many broken bones and burns and cuts all over his body. He told her even though he's said to be married no one has ever seen his wife until tonight. Not even a picture. "He's such a grumpy old man we hardly ever see him smile. I don't ever recall seeing him smile. He's got no sense of style. I don't know who in her right frame of mind would want to spend the rest of her life with a sourpuss like him? We we're all sure he's not married. Not ever had a girl friend. Arjun said he's probably a virgin still"
"Well we all know he's no Virgin and probably has more and better sex than Arjun can ever imagine. Poor Arjun" she said laughing.
"Do you know how he met her" she asked
"You're like crazy groupie. Insatiable to know about him"
"Arjun was the bravest to ask Mrs.Kannar. And she was very open about it"
"How long have you been married to Our Chief?"
"Seven years and he the that Crazy SOB had the guts to ask Why? She said he didn't have a choice. I insisted and I knew he can never say no to me. And he again asked why? She said he was the hottest thing on legs and and I just had to have him. Period. When Chief came and asked his Janie girl if she needs a drink she said I'm good but baby, your pup looks as if he could use s drink or two. Arjun was knocked out. And he didn't get up the entire night.
"The look on his face was priceless babes" he said.
She asked "so she got married to him after his ordeal"
"Yes! She said he was in his hospital bed still not out of danger when she proposed to him. He had refused and she after refusing to take no for an answer he had finally agreed with an ultimatum"
"Oh I love him even more." She was gushing about him.
"Remind me to get you a poster of him to hang in our room. Imagine that from Pansy to Terminator"
He Never eats from outside always packs his lunch. Comes to office at sharp 7. 30 and Leaves at 4.30 unless there's any urgent matter to attend to. Keeps the register in his cabin after 7.35. He works like mad and gives his all. One of the most Honest cops I've come accross. He's very fair to all. If you get into his bad books then life becomes hell. He'll be at you all the time until you mend you're ways. He's a good guy. "He's a legend Astha"
"What's that got to do with Mike Tyson"
"His Nick name is Tyson. Well he used to be a boxer. A very good one at that. Represented the country too. Had to give up when he had a motorbike accident and suffered a neck injury. You know the joke in the office is when he's angry cover your ears" saying he was laughing at his own words. She didn't laugh at all. He pushed him gently and she said " you know you just described yourself without the heroics of course. And you're meanie". "Are you saying people will say you're too good for me and I'm a sourpuss as well" he said while trying to eat her ear. Their home was filled with laughter and cries of joy.
Life was a breeze. The following three weeks was the happiest most amazing time of their life. She spoiled him rotten with her love and affection. He often teased her she's doing all that so that he'd never be able to live without her. That he'd miss her so much he'd rather wish to be dead than live without her. She felt tired all the time. But she'd be all buzzing like a humming bird when he's around. Rested when he goes to work. Their nightly activities didn't help her cause as well. He would take her out on long drives after hours. Get takeaway and eat by the sea shore. She wanted to go for walks, go window shopping with him hand in hand but not just yet. Pretty soon they both would reassure themselves. She threw up couple of more times but she put the blame on outside food. She wasn't worried about the delay in her periods. It had gone haywire ever since she stopped taking contraceptives ever since she and james stopped sleeping in separate rooms. Sometimes I'll be within 10 days sometimes two moths.
It was a their Friday Fright night and they were watching a Hitchcock movie when he got call from his Chief. Shlok seeing the name flashing on the phone teased Astha that its her crush calling. And gave the phone to her to answer. He signed her to be quiet and put him on speaker. He said "Good evening sir" the speaker growled "Agnihotri, what took you so long" before he could answer he growled again " they have the evidence. You have to bring Mrs. Almeida in!"
