Letter R

Its been one month to my marriage, one blissful month. Me and my beloved had been seeing each other since one year and I finally had proposed her for marriage two months ago. She readily accepted wholeheartedly with a deep sigh of relief, on asking she said "I thought you aren't going to marry me in this life time."

Yeah I know I did delayed alot. Especially after Roshini, it has become difficult for me to be able to see someone in her place as my wife. But her love, trust and support helped me alot as well as pushed me finally to love her back and move ahead with her in my life. Look, here I am married and happy. Especially the best thing of our marriage is that I had her beside me almost all the time as we both works in same headquarter as a colleague, where we met for the first time and felt the pull towards each other at the first touch. I remember our first meet or should I say our first fight. I still wondered how did she bear me at that time when I was anything but rude, arrogant officer. But she did that too very efficiently that she made me fall in love again.

But now we had cross all those distance and are living as any other so deep-in-love couples. Though we didn't get time to enjoy our newly married life as these days crimes and criminals had increased alot, still I somehow managed to plan our honeymoon trip to North-east , not for many days but a week with each other alone is enough for us.

But in all this planning and booking I think my mind had slipped something very important as my instincts are saying that I forgot something big and gonna face it badly.

Its morning 8 am of Sunday and I woke up with empty bed so I just decided to have bath then will go and see why my wife wasn't there beside me while waking up like daily.

Having bath, I came out of the washroom only with towel around my waist and rubbing my hairs dry with other towel. Not seeing her yet made me anxious so I shout her name loudly so that she understood I am very much upset with her disappearance.

Soon the door of the room was knocked by other side and saw our servant Lalit Kaka was standing there with a tray of coffee while shaking his head in disbelief at me.

What!? At me!? But why? I thought for a while then ask him the same as I didn't remember anything that cause this reaction of Kaka. He said "Beta ye coffee lo aur apni yaadast par zor dhalo." Saying so Kaka left after handling me the coffee.

Even after drinking my coffee, I didn't remembered anything special other than few pending report which needs to be submitted soon. So I walked to the balcony of our room and paced here and there as I still didn't get to see her and now it's making me restless as well as worried. As she did the same once before too, it's still fresh in my mind as if tomorrow.

Flashback

"Sam do you know where is she? I didn't saw her from morning and she is not even picking up my call. Did she ask for the leave? Why didn't she came? She..." 

"Relax yaar, you must have forgotten something, she had took her leave yesterday itself. And I don't know why she isn't picking your call." Sam replied calmly.

"Damn!? Ab Mai kya karoon?" I whispered to myself, before deciding to take a day off as it's already 6 pm and rushed to her home to seek my answer and scold her for making me restless.

But as soon as I reached at her door, I saw it was opened and there was darkness everywhere inside the house except one room. My body got stiff with tension, worry lines formed on my forehead while my hands were sweating as my heart galloped with fear. I rushed inside the house calling for her loudly with my breathe stuck in my throat somewhere out of fear.

As I reached near the dimly lit room, I heard someone's sobbing sound. Seeing her uninjured and everything normal around her, I did breathe in relief before running inside the room as I sat beside her and asked cupping her cheeks  with concern "Love, what happened to you? Why are crying? Why didn't you received my call? Batao na?"

Listening my voice, she started sobbing more loudly while shouting "Don't talk to me, I hate you. You..you.."

Seeing her hicupping badly, I hugged her tightly and rubbed her back to sooth her breathing but soon felt a hard push and I stumbled back.

Looking up I saw her, she was hovering over me with deep rage in her doe shaped eyes while her nose flaring in fury. I was seeing her Maa Kaali Avatar for the first time especially applied on me and truth to be told I am scared of her right now. Trying to calm her, I said lovingly "Love, it's me. Arjun..! Please meri baat tou.."

But this time she held my collar and made me stand forcefully and shout loudly "Do you remember what is today? It's my birthday!! But I expected too much from you which was the first birthday wishes. I want you be the first person who wish me on my birthday but NO!! YOU DON'T EVEN REMEMBERED!?"

Flashback end...

And I had to pacify her till two weeks for my mistake. And now I am feeling the same fear. 'i am afraid I forgot something big and she must be mad at me.'

And soon my words proved to be true. As around 12 at noon I saw her coming in our room, directly walk towards the wardrobe before she start packing bag that too only her clothes.

Good bye Arjun, it's your doom day dear!!

Wishing myself luck and cursing myself, I hugged her from back as I innocently asked her taking a Risk.

 "Where are you going? Aren't you going with me next week on our honeymoon? My bad! I planned everything and even booked our tickets to gift you today and now you are going somewhere else." Saying so I placed the tickets in her hand.

Instantly She turned around with wide eyes in excitement as she asked jumping in my arms "Really, you brought gift for me on this special day. It means you didn't forget our one month wedding anniversary that is today."

Ah! Gotcha One month anniversary. Now I should remember it as My Love is very Risky.
