Cuddle Toy
"Hamey ek Kingfisher deejiye chilled, aur inko Harit paused poring over the menu at BBQ Nation, Rampur Garden
"Hum Ma ko keh dein to? she smiled
Her magenta kurta and ivory chudidar did not have a dupatta, she had no idea about the pallu rules at Vaidyas, she had snuck out wearing just the suit
She was hoping there was a shawl in the back of the SUV she can drape sneaking back into the house
"Raat ko soney to kamre mein jaayengi na? he said devilishly
"I thought lawyers always chose the legal route she laughed flirting un knowingly
"Yeh to galat hai aapki soch, hum who route lete hain jisme hamari jeet ho he mumbled caressing her lips visually
"Hum bas lemonade ya Sprite she mumbled looking away
"Appetizer hum order karen ya aap?
"Sab hum karenge she said firmly
He nodded laughing
Chandu was a royal terror earlier in the evening, Lakshmi had somehow kept him at bay, so Teeku could escape
The first 45 minutes of their date night was spent Teeku fretting over how he was doing
She ordered grilled veg and grilled paneer for appys
"Yeh area achha hai yahan kyon nahi dhoondi aapne office? she asked bluntly
He smiled
"Humne socha pehle hum baat karenge about that Govil incident he teased
"Nahi... Harit... I have spoken so much
"You have... Avantika... you have to understand why I was so furious he sipped his frothy beer
"It looks cold she said looking at his face
He offered her his tall mug
She sipped a few times , squeezed a lemon into it, he looked on horrified
"Cheeni bhi daal lein he mocked
She pulled the cup of sugar closer and added two scoops
"Avantikaaa he hissed
Too late, she drank from it and nodded
"No wonder you like Chandu he said incredulously
"Aapne Chandu ko beer peete dekha hai? she asked
"If u call THAT beer he shook his head, he waved his hand for another one
"I like sweet wine she said softly
"Got it he nodded his eyes blazing in ack
She didn't drink that concoction they just ate for a while
"It's a non routine way of life Avantika. I didn't exactly predict you would show up in my life he smiled
"matlab?
"Humne plan nahi ki yeh shaadi... I didn't expect my wife to go looking for me
She lowered her gaze self consciously
"Don't get me wrong... I loved it he sighed
"Aapke ghar mein dheron rules hain she mumbled
"All because of what I do for a living, trust me he said with a sad face
"Bhabhi naraaz nahi hotin?
"Umm.. nahi... they have learned to live with it... you are the change maker he smiled
She blushed
"Aap apni daat chhupaane ke liye tareef kar rahe hain she know a scolding was coming
"Hum daat aur kayi tareeqon se chhupa paate hain he whispered
The waiter ruined the visual of his wife blushing
They ordered main course... She did
"It took a lot of control for me not to hit that guy that night he said savagely
She blushed harder at his protective promise
"Tabhi aap itne gusse mein they?
He nodded... "I don't know how it all came to be where it is today... Ive been doing this over 3? Years now, since I got home.. he lowered his gaze sadly
"You miss your brother? she asked sadly😭
"Only everyday" he mumbled😭
"Aap Chandu ke saath so sakte hain if u want" 😳😭she offered kindly extending both her arms graciously with compassion... a ready made solution, in total naivete, with such adorable innocence, he was blown away by it
He smiled slowly... his own nephew was being offered to him for comfort and relief😃
"Kyon? Aap busy hain?😳 he asked softly "why cant I sleep with you instead tone
She choked on a bite of paneer at that direct proposition😲
