A/N-Helloo adorable people and Good Morning. This is a piece of craziness which suddenly came out of boredom and the news about inflation so I have to beg you to hold back the chappals. Thank you so much for reading my 'ahem'.for lack of a better word'.stories and thank you especially to the people who take time to comment. I will reply to the comments on Hell Hath No Fury by today evening max, I promise😊
His Warrior Princess
"You cheating..."
" How dare you call me a cheat"
" Dare?! You are not only a cheat but a coward and a liar too and I can shout it out to anyone and everyone anytime anywhere"
" You little..."
Jagya stood a little distance away following the furious battle that was taking place in front of him and the 30 odd people standing there watching with unashamed interest. Every fibre in him screamed out to run towards them and get Ganga out of there but experience had taught him that she wouldn't thank him for it. And that was an understatement. She was a strong woman, she reminded him every single day, and she could handle her battles
" You useless nitwit, do you honestly think everyone else in the world is as devoid of brains as you?!"
Jagya watched as she literally shocked the huge beefy man towering over her into running out of words
" Brainless! BRAINLESS!"
" Yes BRAINLESS and USELESS along with it! And in more ways than one, I'll bet and your wife will corroborate"
Ohhh now she had gone a step too far. Jagya took an impulsive step forward even as the scoundrel's hand rose to grasp at her fist because angry Ganga or not, some things a man couldn't just stand by and watch
He needn't have worried because Ganga not only twisted her hand free , she also managed to pull out the huge menacing knife from her attacker's hands and dealt him a blow with the handle of it
Jagya winced. The people around her cheered. Some of them even laid bets amongst them and as far as he could make out the odds had just lengthened to 10-2 in Ganga's favour
" You Dare Hit A Woman" she hissed as she advanced towards the poor sod clutching his bruised hand. Jagya was suddenly reminded of the exact same way this scene played out in their bedroom before his mental alarm bells clashed. Inappropriate Jagya. Focus.
His wife had now backed the man up against the tree and was keeping him there with the aid of the wooden handle(the blade had fallen off with the first blow)
" Now , did that blow knock some sense into you or do I have to repeat it?"
There was pin drop silence. A dog barked and then promptly ran for its life as 30 people glared at it. Jagya's breathing suddenly went up a notch high
The man stared into her eyes for a second ,swallowed and then jerked his head down in an approximation of a nod
The crowd cheered. The ladies flocked to Ganga, felicitating and thanking her, which she accepted with a regal smile and nod. The men were not left behind. After all , she had just accomplished what they had been trying to do for the better part of the year. One man fell to his knees. Another had tears in his eyes as he thanked her
Jagya himself let out a breath he had been holding and concentrated on studying a tired little tree next to him to calm himself down. 2 seconds later he found himself looking up from counting the leaves to the familiar call of
"Doctor Saab!"
He turned and saw his gorgeous( and scary) wife coming towards him. He raised his eyebrow at the smug look on her face and asked
"Well? What's the verdict"
The smug look deepened and she smirked confidently before announcing
"50 paisa off each tomato"
"And his knife?"
"He only uses it for cutting the softer fruits, which can be accomplished with a small blade too, so I bought him a cheap blade and told him to be thankful"
He laughed
"Impressive" he said and watched as she glowed and waved away his praise modestly
" Well he was grossly overpricing his goods and I had to teach him a lesson. I mean-4 Rs for a tomato!!!"
"I don't really think it was his fault darling, it's more likely to be Manmohan Singh's" he observed mildly
"Whoever he is , I can handle him too" she informed him. He had a feeling she could and if given the chance she would too
"Either way, I am happy that you didn't enter the fray and interfere even when you were alarmed. You would have cramped my style" she continued as she dumped the bags into his arms
He stared at her" I wasn't alarmed"
She gave him a disbelieving look and said "Really? Because the whole not breathing thing had me fooled back there"
She had noticed. Of course. Eyes of a hawk she had. Just as sharp and just as snoopy when it came to him
"That wasn't fear Jaan. Uh..you know what happens to me when you go into your warrior princess avatar" he retorted shifting uncomfortably and desperately needing a shower. A very cold one
She laughed, the naughty minx, and proceeded to swagger her way through the market
"It's the grainery next" she tossed at him over her shoulder
He grinned and followed her obediently with the bags. Grocery shopping with his wife was always fun
