Chapter 6:
Arjun and Sakshi were happily living together. Aadi was now 5 years old. It was morning time and Sakshi got up. She dragged herself to the bathroom and after 15 minutes came dressed.
"Arjun, utho!" Sakshi said while combing her wet hair.
"Ugghh." Arjun groaned. "Okay."
"Jaldi!" Sakshi said almost out of the door. "Aj DIG ke sath meeting hai."
At that statement Arjun quickly got up and sprinted towards the bathroom. In the bathroom he realized the meeting was day after tomorrow. Dammit! he though She got him again. On the oher hand Sakshi silently laughed in her victory while going to Aditiya's room. He saw her little prince sleeping peacefully in his bed. She hated to wake him up but he had school.
"Aadi, beta." Sakshi said waking him up. "Utho. Jaldi."
"Nahi. Aj nahi jana." Aditiya resisted.
"Beta, get up na" Sakshi replied
"Mama." Aditiya whined.
"Nope. Get up." said Sakshi and picked him up,
Sakshi took Aditiya to the bathroom. Got him showered, dressed, and ready for school.
"Get your bag. And come to the kitchen." Sakshi said leaving her room.
Sakshi went in the kitchen preparing Aditiya's lunch and breakfast, as well as, Arjun's chai. While cooking she suddenly started feeling pain in her stomach. The immediate impact of the pain was great on her.
"Ahhh." Sakshi screamed. Arjun reached in time with her medicine and gave it to her. Aditiya also came running.
"Mama?" said Aditiya. "Are you okay."
Sakshi's pain had subsided and Arjun was rubbing her back.
"Yes." Sakshi replied. "Better."
"What happened?" asked Aditiya.
"Beta, you wont understand now." Arjun said."But when you'll be older I will tell you. But do one thing. If ever your mom screams in pain clutching her stomach, jaldi se baag kar yeh wali medicine lana aur inko dena." Arjun said showing him the bottle.
"Okay." replied Aditiya.
"Acha come and have breakfast." Sakshi said standing up but cringing with a little pain left.
"You should rest." Arjun said.
"I'm okay." replied Sakshi and motioned him to sit.
"Dad, you know there's this girl in my class. She wont be my friend." Aditiya said while muching down his cereal. Sakshi laughed at his statement while Arjun stared at him in shock.
"Beta. Dad is not the right person to go to. Ask me." Sakshi said. "Be nice to her. Give her a candy or a flower. She will be your friend."
"Thank you mom." said Aditiya. They heard the honk of the car.
"Oh, Sameer mama is here. Bye baby." Said Sakshi kissing his cheek and Arjun hugging him.
Sameer had insisted on dropping Aditiya along with his son Dev to school. And now he would come everyday to pick him up while Arjun picked both of them up from school.
"Awww." Sakshi said after Aadi left. "Mere bete ki pehli girlfriend."
"He's five. He shouldn't have one." Arjun replied.
"No. He should. Aww I'm so proud." Sakshi said.
"What?" Arjun replied. "He shouldn't have one."
"Just because you didn't have one, doesn't mean he can't have it either." Sakshi said playfully.
"Hilarious." Arjun replied but pulled Sakshi towards him."Okay, my goodmorning kiss?"
Sakshi leaned in but gave a kiss on his cheeck. "Happy?"
"Nah." said Arjun and before Sakshi could complain he crased his lips on hers. He was sweet and gentle. Both of them released gasping for air.
"Aditiya should have a sibiling, no?" Arjun asked tightening his hold on Sakshi. Sakshi just blushed crimson red. "Hmm?"
.
"You have to go." Sakshi said pushing him away. "ETF. Case. Go and take a shower and get ready"
"Fine." Arjun grumbled but kissed her cheek . "Wait, where's Maya?"
Maya was a girl they had hired to be with Sakshi the whole day until Arjun returns. Arjun wanted to take no risks. He can under n circumstance leave Sakshi along with ulcers.
"She took a day off." said Sakshi. Arjun took out his phone and called Sameer.
"Sam, aj mein nahi a sakta. Yaar, Maya nahi ayi." Arjun told Sameer.
"What? Acha theek hai na a. Sakshi ke sath raho. Akele chorna dangerous hai." Sameer replied agreeing,.
"Thanks yaar." Arjun said
"Balke pura week off." Sameer said. "You deserve them."
"Thanks. Acha bye." said Arjun. "Sam ne pura week off diya."
Sakshi narrowed her eyes. "I have to do chores. You take a shower."
*************
Sakshi was cleaning their room when Arjun came out with sweat pants on but no shirt. Sakshi controlled herself. She can't let Arjun know.
"Shirt pehney ka koi irada nahi?" asked Sakshi.
"Kyun? Mere ghar, meri marzi." Arjun replied disposing the towel on the bed.
"Arjun, meine abhi saaf kiya." Sakshi said taking the towel. She went to put it in the bathroom. Arjun came inside and locked the door. Sakshi stared at him wide-eyed. Arjun took a step forward.
(enough for now. :P)
