Me After You - OS [Abhira]

Hello 😃

Just a little one shot from me. Was inspired when I was listening to a Korean love ballad by Paul Kim called Me After You and just started jotting down something. Here is the link if you want to take a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCrvAOtsc0E It has English translations for the song.

I'm no writer so please forgive me for the not so great writing 😳 I just wanted to share as some of you have been kind to tag me on some of your works around the forum.

**********************************************************

Light brown eyes gazed transfixed into the misty morning hue while fingers gently tapped against the cool window. “A penny for your thoughts?” His lips curled ever so slightly at the warm voice from behind. He turned to see a white coffee mug with the phrase I ❤️ heart methi dana in red being offered. How apt he chuckled to himself as he took it. He brought it up towards his lips pausing mid way breathing in the fresh scent of brewed coffee before putting it down on the window sill. His partner noticed the sudden change and inquired worriedly, “Something wrong Abhi?” A naughty glint crossed his eyes as he reached for the smaller tea cup. “I feel like having some chai today.”

“Oh, let me make some more…”

“We can share,” he responded as he took a quick sip and then smoothly hooked his arms around her waist bringing her closer towards him.

“You’re in a mood,” she responded chirpily before leaning back against his chest her breathing quickly syncing with his in a comfortable pace.

“We have a peaceful day off. What is there not to enjoy?”

They sat at the bay window like this for some time people watching the street below quietly sharing their chai together. When the cup was empty they started their usual hand game. He covered his hand over hers with their fingers interlocking gently rubbing back and forth in an intimate comfortableness.

“Akshara, are you happy?” She turned quickly arching her eyebrow as to why this line of questioning was suddenly being brought up. “Of course I am, Abhi.”

He took the slender hand caressing his face and kissed the palm before continuing,“I took you away from everything. In my anger, I broke a lot of relations just so we could be together. I’m sorry.”

“Abhi, I told you already stop apologizing. I’m with you.” She ran her fingers across the mangalsutra around her neck. “You’re my life.” He nodded. “Question is…are you happy?”

Akshara recognized the burn in his eyes as he responded, “Of course. There is not one day that goes by do I not think how lucky I am to have you in my life. Despite being impatient, immature, a little too straight forward…”

“Stubborn, emotional…my god, you wear your emotions on your sleeves, you leave cups everywhere around the house…” Abhi stopped talking as his mouth dropped open while his wife continued his list of flaws and house work that had apparently been bothering her. “And after every workout you won’t put your sweaty towel in the dirty clothes bin…everything else you’re organized in but not that sweaty towel…just last week it showed up on the kitchen counter…ewww…do you know how unsanitary that is? And you’re a doctor…”

Eventually he managed to let out an, “Oye…” Akshara give a sheepish grin before they both let out a hearty round of laughter. Abhimanyu touched his forehead against hers and breathed. “Yes, I’m an emotional fool… and I’ll do better about the workout towel. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for allowing me to love you. I love you.”

“I love you too. But seriously, why are you thinking about these things?” Akshara inquired with a concern face. She watched as her husband glanced away towards the window and then softly continued, “You’re missing them, Abhi.”

“No.”

“Lair,”Akshara replied. “I took you away from your Ma…”

Shaking his head vehemently, “No, she understood why I made that choice. Sir…he...I couldn’t let him talk to you like that…” Akshara could see his jawline clench recalling how painful that day had been for everyone. Her hand tenderly squeezed his making him wake from the memory.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized.

He sighed, “I know you are missing them. I know sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night and look through the family pictures on your phone.” Seeing the resignation on her face he carefully stated, “It’s been a year. Do you think we will be forgiven?”

Akshara shook her head, “I don’t know. Time heals all wounds, right? I tried calling Kairav bhaiya but in the end…”

Abhimanyu mentally kicked himself hearing her confession. Of course if she was looking at the photos why wouldn’t she try and call home? He took a deep breath and firmly stated, “It’s time we should return.”

“Abhi…”

“No, I cannot let you stay away from your family this long. What if one day we start our own family…would we not let the kids see their aunts, uncles, grandparents? Could you live like that? No, I know you can’t.” Akshara looked at the man in front of her in awe. Just when she thought he could not surprise her anymore he always found a way to move her heart and deepen that love that she already felt for him. “It’ll take some time to make everyone understand. But…”

“We’ll do this together,” she completed. “We are in this together.”

Abhimanyu smiled,“Together.”

If you made it this far thank you 🤗

OMG Grace, you wrote and OS. This was beautiful yaar. Abhira who eloped, wow. I loved it so much. Can you pls write a prologue to this OS, I want to know what made them elope.

okay I was saving all the stories I have been tagged in to read after the 14th but damn it, the length of the OS really lured me into giving it a try and boy, was I happy I did that!! That was so beautiful grace, I absolutely loved it!! Dyum Abhi married her and took her away from his parent's house cause of how harsh used to speak to her - good! but you know what my fav scene was in this OS? when akshu complains about finding his towels literally everywhere including at the kitchen counter lmao. that was so cute and added such a domestic touch to the scene - you know those "intimate" conversations that you only have with your partner that's not about love😳I live for such moments and try to include them in my OSes too (haven't gotten much of a chance to add on abhira but i did on the other OSes i wrote on other shows). Great job there. Also loved how he pulled her to him and casually took a sip of her tea and said we will share.

That was amazing Grace. you should bless us with more of such cute stuff. ❤️

This is beautiful, just the conversation felt so intimate❤️. Please treat us with more Oses😳

Thanks for the kind words Sam 😳

A prologue? Wow? If I can think of something to build upon I'll try. No promises 😳 I tend to have dramatic ideas 😆 😈

Thanks Mush for taking the time to comment! This was just a small idea so small one shot. I find conversations much more interesting 😆 so more dialogues....while trying to describe scenery and things are a challenge for me. Probably why I'm such a slow writer.

I'm so happy you enjoyed this piece. I just love how you craft your stories truly like reading something from a novel. Hope to see more of your works after the 14th 😃

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment with such warm words 😃

Hey,

Read your story with a smile on my face :'). Warmed me to the core. Kind of glad you made them elope xD because noone would let them be happy here. And they looked so happy and adorable 🥰, content in the life they had built for themselves.

And families do come around, anyway, what's the point in all this anger. But to read/imagine them actually talking about building their own lil family, cuteness overload xD

Enjoyed reading every bit of this story, and I hope you write more in the future

❤️

That was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. Such a warm cosy OS this one was. Gave me the feeling of curling up with a steaming cup of hot chocolate on a chilly wintery evening . Brilliant.

Please write more 🤗🤗
