Armaan along with Janani and the kids walked towards his car as he will be dropping them at the kindergarten before going to his office.Janani's mother had asked her to leave Advi at home so that they can spend some time with their grandson, but Advi cried his lungs out as he saw his sister all ready with her school bag to go out. As they reached the car they saw Shreya waving and smiling at them as she walked towards them. "Maasi" Ava launched herself at her aunt as soon as she came close. Shreya picked her up and placed a loud kiss on Ava's cheek making her giggle. "Hello Advi" she gave a flying kiss to Advi who was on his momma's hip "You guys carry on. I will come in the evening to meet the kids" Shreya smiled at them as she helped Ava into the car.Armaan frowned at the weird behavior of the woman. He is used to the cold smile and stiff voice of hers usually. He had never seen her smile at him. So why is she so happy in his company all of a sudden.They bid a bye to her
"You seriously going to have tea with her, Janani? I don’t like this Shreya" Richa saidJanani wrinkled her nose. Her best friend, Richa, was very quick in her judgements but Janani tried to give everyone a fair hearing. And that included Shreya Iyyer. After all, Janani would have been the first to admit that the main source of her unease about Shreya was that the other woman’s close blood tie to Armaan's ex and Ava's mother."I don't think she is evil" Janani admitted. Though she feels uncomfortable around Shreya, she has to admit the woman is not an evil character. The gentleness with which she treats Ava and even Advi proves that. It is just around her, Shreya seems different. Can't blame her for that either.In any case, she had to admit that Shreya had proved to be an almost invisible guest, occasionally dropping by to visit Ava and Advi, over the past week while Armaan had been abroad. Richa had reached three days before and Janani had wasted her time going on wedding sh
Armaan felt someone squeezing him inside out, and sweat broke out on his forehead, as he hung up the phone call.He had made a mistake, a serious mistake, by leaving Janani. He should have listened to his heart and simply cancelled the trip and stayed home.Now he had to pray that he had sufficient time and the opportunity to put it right. And if he didn’t? Good lord, that option could not even be considered! *** Janani walked down the steps of the mandir after spending an hour there with her family doing some pre wedding poojas.She had gone over to find some peace and had terribly failed as her mind kept going back to what she had come to know from Sheya Iyyer yesterday.She stopped on the stairs as she saw Armaan get down from the car. "Heyy. Isn't that Armaan?? " Richa asked "He was supposed to return next week. He is a stickler for schedules" Janani said confused "Seems like you bridegroom missed you more than you know as he is here now" her mother said teasingly Sheathed
"You know, I thought you were having wedding jitters. I believed you were back early to dump me and back out of the wedding" she said"No, I was too scared I was losing you. I didn’t know what Shreya had done but I should have known she is up to something" Armaan said"But how could you even find out that I was seeing her yesterday? The bodyguards?" Janani asked in confusion."No. Aditya. He phoned me yesterday and informed me that Shreya had invited you and that he didn't get a good vibe from that" "Adi?" "He is a pain in the a** at times. Very immature too. But he loves you a great deal. He was worried for you" Armaan said making her smile "I know" "So tell me about Ishana" Janani prompted and Armaan sighed "There is nothing much to say, Janani. I had a short affair with her. There was nothing serious" Armaan said "If there was nothing serious why did Shreya say that she begged you to marry her" "I had no idea about her pregnancy. Out of blue, she proposed marriage. But the
A week passed by in a jiffy and Janani was back in her hometown. The pre wedding rituals starts the next day and Armaan wanted to take her out for dinner tonight Their first official date. Janani had never known happiness like this before. Yes, she had a very loving childhood with adoring parents But what she found with Armaan and the kids is bliss. Pure bliss. She looked into the mirror and adjusted her saree once more. Armaan loves to see her in saree. 'It's more accessible for me,' he had said cheekily, squeezing her exposed waist. Janani blushed remembering the feel of his hands on her. Damn!! He literally sets her on fire with a single glance. "Janani" her mother came in looking somewhat anxious "Maa! Is Armaan here already?" Janani asked excitedly. "It's not Armaan. Vikram is here. His parents too. Vikram said he wanted to talk to you" her mother said anxiously Janani stifled a groan. What does he want now? Haven't they already talked about everything? "Fine. Let'
Armaan drove to a small hill, an hour drive away from Janani's home. As he reached the foot of the hill, Armaan took out a piece of black stole and tied it around Janani's eyes. Janani laughed "That's so cliche Armaan" Janani said, with a laugh, though she is thrilled. Armaan led her up the small hill and as they reached Amraan took off her blindfold. Janani gasped in awe There was a truck in the centre. The place was lit with lanterns and the back of the truck, she could see, was decorated with cushions and a mattress to make them comfortable. "Wow. This is beautiful" Janani whispered. "Not more than you," Amraan said, snaking his arms around her waist, his fingers touching her bare waist. Janani shivered at the touch. "Cold??" Armaan asked and she nodded in a no. Armaan led her towards the truck and helped her up There was also a picnic basket "Let's begin the date with the dinner" Armaan said They spend time feeding each other and laughing at something or the other. A
Janani was in the kitchen, preparing a sweet dish, when she felt a pair of arms snaking around her bare waist.She shuddered when she felt his touch."Good morning wifey" he whispered huskily in her ears."Good morning hubby" she greeted him back."Why are you up so early?" Armaan asked"It's my pehli resoi (an Indian ritual), Armaan. I have to prepare something sweet" Janani said"You gotta be kidding me. You are the first person who cooked in this kitchen. And that happened a few months ago. What is with this pehli rasoi now" Armaan asked in disbelief "Back then, I was an employee here. Now I am your wife. Haqq banta hei mera (It's my right to do this" Janani said "Fine, fine. But don't leave the bed without a good morning kiss, Janani. Never!" Armaan said and turned her around before smashing his lips against hers. Their lips moulded in sync."Let's go on a honeymoon immediately" Armaan whispered, making Janani blush more."What does this blush mean, Janani? That you are ready f
Armaan drove a visibly panicking Janani over to Ananya's place."What did she say?" He asked for the hundredth time."I told you a million times. She didn't say anything. She was panicking. Something has happened" Janani said anxiously "I will call Inder and see if he knows something" Armaan said and took his phone outJanani snatched the phone from him."Don't use your phone while driving. How many times do I have to tell you that?" Janani asked furiously and Armaan sighed in exasperation "Don't you want to know what is wrong with Ananya?" He asked"Of course I do. But not at the cost of having our life in danger. I will call Inder" Janani said and dialled Inder's number from her husband's phone and put it on speakerInder picked up the call on the third ring."Inder? This is Janani speaking" Janani said"Hey Janani. What's up? Already tired of Armaan?" Inder asked jokingly "F*ck off" Armaan called out from the driving seat, making Inder laugh"Language" Janani hissed at Armaan m
