One Rainy Morning..
Vansh felt some wet liquid on his newly washed and tamed with gel hair. Hesitantly, he rose his hand on the top of his head and felt some gooey stuff.
As soon as he brought his hands back to see what it is, his eyes blew off the sockets.
"WHAT THE HELL!!? RIDDHIMA TUM KAHAAN HO! IDHAR AAO!"
His rose his head up, and there was that idiot.. Sitting on that metal pipe of the curtains. Damn it, he can't go to the office like this!
"RIDDHIMA!" He shouted again with fury
Within a few seconds, Riddhima came running into the room holding up the plaits of her saree trying to prevent herself from falling.
"What happened Vansh?" She asked, taking deep breathes, tired from the run
"Wtf is your Tota on the curtain?"
Her eyes moved up, and there was her beloved parrot, sitting up there, scratching its feathery wing with its bright red beak! His golden cage was open!
Riddhima's eyes turned moist. God! How did he get out of his cage? What if she lost her Tota?
"Aww, meri jaan, upar kya karrahe ho? Nije aao.."
She threw her hands up near the curtains, smiling at her Tota, who moved his head here and there, looking confused.
While Riddhima was busy trying to bring her parrot down, there Vansh was seething in anger. Is he invisible? Can't his wife see what a masterpiece her "Jaan" made on his freshly washed hair?
"Excuse me, Madam? Aap mujhe dekh sakte hai na? Yah phir main Mr.India hoon?" He asked with infinite sarcasm
"Uff! Vansh! Shut up and help me bring my Tota down!" Riddhima replied annoyed.
"Khud karo! Yeh idiot mera hai kya? Maine le aaya isko? Tumhari hai, tum nije utaro." He rolled his eyes and looked at his fingers with a disgusting expression.
Riddhima formed her fingers like clutches and sighed in relief as soon as her beloved parrot came down in her grip. Gently holding its soft, green body, Riddhima put it back into it's golden cage.
Shaking his head in disbelief, Vansh grabbed his towel and stomped into the bathroom.
His life became hell since that day!
Flashback-
It was a beautiful monsoon morning, and Riddhima had cooked delicious khichdi. It was raining hard. They both sat near the huge balcony, which was locked with a tall glass door. With his sweetheart beside him, he enjoyed the khichdi to the fullest until Riddhima shouted-
"Omg!"
"What happened, sweeheart?" He asked in confusion
Coming near his ear, she whispered pointing at the railing of their balcony
"Look!"
His eyes moved to that direction, and there, he saw a beautiful green parrot! Drenched in the rain, it had sat down to relax. Long, green tail, beak as red as blood, it looked magical!
"Vansh, I want it!"
He looked at Riddhima shocked.. "But-" he was going to say something when her puppy eyes flipped everything. And that was it! Who knew that magical creature, was in fact a devil in disguise!
***
Sighing, Vansh came in a casual t-shirt and trousers out of the bathroom, drying his hair when he heard her soft voice..
"Sorry.."
He looked up, and there she was. Standing, with a guilty look.
"I saw what had happened to your hair, but I was scared.. Scared, what if he flies away- what if I lose him-"
Riddhima choked on her words as she was in the verge of crying. Vansh immediately rushed to her and cupped her face
"Hey, hey, hey, Riddhu, don't cry. Its okay.."
Instantly, she smiled.
"Sacchi?"
Chuckling at her cuteness, Vansh nodded
"Vansh! I made gajar ka halwa! Only for you! Wanna try now?"
His eyes sparkled hearing "Gajar ka halwa". Without even asking, Riddhima understood by his expression. Laughing, she went to bring that.
Vansh smiled and sat near the balcony, ignoring that green creature, who was busy eating chole bhature in the cage on that side.
He admired the rain.. Its so beautiful.. That heart fluttering fragnance of wet soil and the clattering sound of raindrops..Although the balcony was locked with the glass door, yet he could feel it..
Suddenly the room filled with the sweet smell of his favourite dish.. Gajar ka Halwa!
"And here you go..." Riddhima sat beside him giving him the bowl of that amazing dish.
Vansh instantly dug in and moaned in the delicious taste! Only his sweetheart could make the perfect Gajar ka halwa!
Suddenly Riddhima gently shouted-
"Vansh look!"
Before looking at the direction, Vansh looked at Riddhima. Her eyes held happiness. Excitement. And a special sparkle!
Curious, Vansh looked out the balcony and the spoon fell down from his grip-
Green feathery body, drenched in the rain.. Long, tail and wings. Red beak.. Eyes, looking enticing enough to charm his wife.. There she sat..Another Tota....
