*Sudhir Pov* “This is a pleasant surprise Sudhir.” Uncle said, smiling and I nodded smiling back. “Is Ayesha not with you both in Pune?” he asked. “No! She is in Mumbai.” I replied. “I met Indu’s mother after returning. She is really distraught regarding her daughter.” Uncle said, and I nodded at him. “Does Ayesha miss her?” He asked with pity. “She used to but now she is completely fine and Nisha is really good with her.” I replied, and he nodded frowning. “I hope she is not hurting Ayesha.” He mumbled. “She can never hurt her, but why are you saying that?” I asked him frowning. “I heard from many relatives of them that she is selfish and doesn’t respect our values.” He replied. “She is the most selfless person.” I said confidently. “So how is business going on?” He asked leaning back. “When will Charan return?” I asked him back. “He went to his friend's house and will return in one hour like that.” He replied. By that time, Nisha can return and can operate the camera t
*Sudhir Pov* “Wake up!” I heard someone whispering in my ear. “Just sleep.” I mumbled tightening my grip on her. “We need to go to that Man’s house.” She said and immediately opened my eyes to stare at her. “You are right.” I said, staring at her. “You will be fine.” She whispered, kissing on my forehead and moved away from my hold. “We need to ask him about this Charan thing too.” I said, and she nodded. We both got ready and reached his house. Aunty opened the door and frowned at us. “Your Uncle said you are leaving for Mumbai as you got some sudden crisis.” She said confused. “We didn’t leave.” Nisha replied, and we both sat on the couch like yesterday. Nisha placed her bag and started adjusting it-like yesterday making me frown. I looked at my watch to see how much time it will take for Kamal. “Why are you here again?” He asked entering the living room. “We wanted to show you a wonderful family video.” Nisha replied and took out her mobile. He took it and when the vid
*Nisha Pov* “Hey, are you fine?” Pavani asked when I reached the college. I nodded at her smiling and walked inside the classroom. I sat in my place and took a deep breath. I zoned out for all the classes thinking why I always hope, something which I am sure is not in my plate anymore. I actually thought perhaps we were improving, and possibly we will have a normal relation, but looks like I am just a fool. “So is he treating you well?” Aunty asked when we walked inside the kitchen. “He is!” I replied smiling. “Do you know he was smitten by Indu? He never left her alone and was always around her even when they are engaged.” She said smiling, and I can see the honesty in those eyes. And for the first time, I felt something twisted inside. It was never a problem for me that he was hers but right now after yesterday I don’t think I can hear it. “I am sure he must be still missing her. And wishing that he never lost her.” She said, and I can see tears forming in her eyes. “I wil
*Sudhir Pov* “What is it?” I asked Sanju impatiently when she just continued to stare at me. “Looks like you are still put into that zone.” She replied. “You are really annoying me.” I said and continued to do my work. “Just think me as your friend even though I already am.” She said sitting in front of me. “I am not going to discuss anything with you.” I said shaking my head. “I am not going to ask you to.” She said back. “Leave!” I said, sighing. “Come on, Sudhir. She is an amazing girl, and it will not take time for her to find someone who will take care of her in which you are failing.” She said sighing back. “I wish!” she whispered before sleeping. “Why do you think that I am failing?” I asked her frowning. “Then who got friend zoned by their wife.” She replied shaking her head. “Look, I can handle everything, and you need not to say anything.” I said and continued my work. “She is not just two years younger than you Sudhir. She can’t understand what is in your head
*Nisha Pov* “Good morning.” I said, ruffling his hair, and he opened his eyes with a smile. “Thanks.” He mumbled getting up. “Why?” I asked him frowning. “You just sent me to a favorite memory of mine.” He replied, and I nodded understanding what he is talking about. “I can do it every day.” I offered arranging the bed. “Do it!” He said smiling and walked inside the washroom to get ready. “So Ayesha, did you finish your studying?” I asked her, and she nodded looking up from her book. “Just two minutes.” She replied, and I nodded smiling. “I will drop you both today.” He said while having his breakfast. “No need for that. We both are fine.” I said smiling. “I will not hear anything else.” He said with no place for argument. “Bye!” I said and was about to get down, but he stopped me holding my hand. “Here!” he said, placing a chocolate. “Chocolate?” I asked him looking at the way it bent, and it is cold. “I actually bought it yesterday but forgot to give it to you. It has
*Sudhir Pov* I stopped myself from doing what she asked and lifted her up in my arms after getting up and she stared at me confused. “Let’s go to sleep.” I said, placing her on our bed, and I lay down beside her which she continued to look at me confused. “Good night!” She mumbled, closing her eyes, and I pulled her to me. “Good night!” I whispered back. I stared at her sleeping face and smiled to myself. She is in my world too, along with Ayesha. I thought, smiling more and decided to tell her that, but stopped thinking I should tell her in a special way. I woke up along with her and said I will prepare the breakfast for us today. She nodded without putting up a fight, which I thought she would. “Happy birthday, Mom.” Ayesha rushed downstairs holding something in her hands. “Thank you, dear.” Nisha said, hugging her. “Here!” Ayesha said, giving her a paper. I walked towards them and saw a drawing of a man, a woman and a kid. On top of them, she wrote Mom, Dad and me. “It i
*Nisha Pov* I didn’t open my eyes, but I am fully awake and started remembering each and everything from yesterday night. Oh, god! What have we done? I thought, but didn’t remove my hand from his waist. Is everything true what he told me yesterday? How can he even love me like that? Will he regret? I hope so, not because I am going to kill him as this is not my fault. He was the one who looked at me so intently that I wanted to let go of any fear I had for this intimacy. I am thinking all this, but I didn’t remove my head from his chest. I am too comfortable to even think about moving away. Oh, god! What have we really done? I am sure there will be awkwardness towards each other from the moment we wake up opening our eyes. Maybe I should get up before him and leave the room to save us from more awkwardness. Yes! That’s what I should do. I moved a little to remove myself from his grip with still closed eyes, but I stopped abruptly. Why am I moving away? I am his wife! And I ha
*Nisha Pov* “What are you doing?” Sudhir asked, walking inside the kitchen in the evening after returning from office. “I am washing clothes.” I replied and continued to stir the tomato soup. “Very funny.” He said hugging me from behind. “I was not trying to.” I said smiling. But I suddenly yelped when he pinched my neck. I threw a glare at him and then continued to stir frowning. “Did it pained?” he asked. “Yes!” I replied, lying. “Ok!” he mumbled and suddenly started kissing there. “Hey! We are in the kitchen.” I said, trying to release myself, but he has a strong hold on me. “So?” he mumbled and started making a hickey there in short words. “I don’t want to pour sugar instead of salt.” I replied and turned around in his arms turning off the stove. “Looking good.” He said smiling. “Thanks.” I whispered. “I am not talking about you. I am talking about the hickey.” He said rolling his eyes. “Ayesha! What is your Dad’s name?” I shouted from the kitchen, and he frowned at
