First day of Mr. and Mrs. Shiv Raj Shekhar.
22a)
Shiv woke up early the next morning. He felt some weight on the right side of his chest. He saw that Anandi was resting her head on his chest and sleeping with a sweet smile on her face. She looked like the purest thing he had ever laid eyes on. He tried to get up careful enough as to avoid waking her up but it was not possible. She cuddled even more as he tried to get up. "MMM." She made a cute sound as she did not want to wake up from her sweet sleep. He rested back and pretended to be asleep. He erased the fact from his mind that she was so close to him that he could feel her soft chest crushing against his chiselled sides. After some time Anandi woke up with a sweet smile. She had surprisingly slept the sweetest sleep in years. She stretched her body and was about to get off the bed. She saw that she was way away from her side on the bed. She turned around and saw that she was sitting very close to Shiv. She was almost on top of him. Her clothes were not in their proper place and she had also removed the quilt off the lower half of her body. Had Shiv got up completely he could have seen her in this condition.
The rose petal heart on the bed was nowhere to be seen. There were only crushed petals scattered on the bed. She saw the condition she was in. She quickly got off the bed and ran into the washroom through the dressing room. In the washroom Anandi thought, 'Anandi tu pagal hai aise kaise raat ko karwat badalkar C S ke paas so gayi. Tujhe itni chaen se neend aa gayi C S ke paas. Tujhe hosh bhi nahi tha tu kahan ja rahi thi aur tere kapde kahan ja rahe the? Aise so rahi thi jaise koi choti bacchi. Itni chaen se to tu jab choti thi Bilariya mein thi tab soti thi. Thoda sambhalkar reh C S ke saath ab badi ho gayi hai bacchi nahi hai tu. Tu abhi wahan tak nahi pahoonchi par C S ki mushkilen kyun badha rahi hai? Agar C S pehle jag jaate toh kitna ajeeb lagta unhe?' Her heartbeat was racing and her breathing became ragged when she remembered her condition and how close she was to her C S. She was happy that she was so comfortable in his arms but she felt bad that she could not reciprocate the feelings.
Shiv who was pretending to be asleep got up and sat on the couch. Anandi came out after refreshing. She came and stood next to Shiv. She looked fresh as the first dew drop. Shiv noticed that her sindoor had messed up a bit. It would mess up the same way when he would make love to her. "Good Morning." Shiv smelled her minty fresh breath. They were both very normal for the sake of the other. "C S aap jaldi se fresh ho jaiye. Phir please mere bags le aaiye mujhe tayyar hona hai." Shiv freshened up. In the washroom he remembered the sweet smile of Anandi he saw when he woke up. He touched his chest where she had rested her head. He was filled with joy that she could so peacefully sleep next to him. He was afraid to make her feel uncomfortable but she seemed quite normal in his presence. Great he gave himself his cute smile. He went out of the room and asked her to lock it and open it only for him. He came back with her bags which were in Ashi and Saachi's room. They gave him a curious look. He did not meet their eyes. They laughed behind his back.
Shiv came back to his room and knocked on the door. Anandi opened it for him and he saw her wrapped in the quilt. She reminded him of the image of 'Little Red Riding hood' from the stories he used to read for Saachi. He just fell for her all over again. He saw that the bed was clean with new sheet and the rose petals and jasmine canopy was in the bin. He came in with her bags well actually two out of her 10 bags of her luggage set. The rest of the bags came in a while. Shiv took them without letting anyone in. Anandi tried to open one of her bags. She could not do so. Shiv offered her his help. He opened the bag and in it were beautiful sarees. His eyes fell on a particular yellow and maroon saree. He was looking at it continuously. Anandi was biting her nails and asking herself, "Aaj shaadi ke baad pehla din hai kya pehnoo?" She had never given thought to the topic what to wear and what not. She had always picked the first thing she saw. She saw Shiv staring at a saree. She on purpose picked up the one under it. "Hmm ye bahut sundar hai ye pehen leti hoon."
"Meri ek aur bag hai wo kahan hai?" "Saari bags toh aa gayi ma ne kaha tha ki aapki 10 bags hain jo sab yahan hai." "Nahi meri ek aur choti si bag hai wo ma aur taiji pack karna bhool gayi thi toh maine alag se pack karke rakha tha. Aisa hi milta julta bag hai. Bahut important samaan hai usme." "Theek hai aap tayyar ho jaiye main Mahi se kehta hoon wo le aayega. Ye 10 bags laate laate main thak chukka hoon." NAHI. Devarjee ya koi aur nahi laa sakta. C S aap jaake le aaiye aur main uss bag ke bina tayyar nahi ho sakti." Shiv was sitting on the couch. She pulled him with all her might to make him go get that bag. "Jaiyye aur kisi aur ke haath nahi lagna chahiye wo bag usme mere kapde hain." She was nervous and shy in the same time. "Aisa kya hai usme ki aap uske bina tayyar nahi ho sakti aur mere alawa koi aur use la nahi sakta." "C S aap bhi na hadd karte hain har cheez khulke samjhaoon kya aapko? Ladkon ko sab pata hota hai. Usme mere KAPDE hain. Le aaiye mera bag. Jaldi." She said while looking down. Collector Sahib ki batti chamki. He ran for the door and in time picked up her bag. He came back to the room. "Anandiji aap bhi na kamaal karti hain iss bag ko bade bag ke andar rakhna chahiye tha na." "Maine nahi ma aur taiji ne packing ki aapko bataya toh tha uss raat ko phone par." His eyes popped. "What? Aap ye zaroori samaan pack karte waqt mujhse baat kar rahi thi?" "Nahi. Main itni bhi badi pagal nahi hoon jitna aap mujhe samajh rahe hain."
He was staring at her thinking,"Abhi ek din nahi hua aur ye sab patiyon wali info mujhe mil rahi hai. Kya hoga mera? Shiv chahe jitni sardi pade tu toh ab thande paani se hi nahaya kar issi mein teri bhalayi hai. Ye toh samjhengi nahi bas aise hi innocent si bak bak mein tujhe info deti rahengi. Anandiji bhi na kabhi kitni mature lagti hain aur kabhi kaise kisi choti si bacchi jaisi." She looks at him staring at her. She signals him to turn around as she wanted to open her bag and get the essentials. He goes and sits on the couch and begins to read the newspaper. She quickly removed the saree he had his eyes on. She goes for a bath. She locks the dressing room and puts the clothes she had on in the laundry basket. She removes the lingerie from it as she can't put in in the wash with other clothes. She leaves them there on the marble slab. She placed her clothes in the dressing room. After some time Anandi had her bath and was in the dressing room wearing her clothes.
"Heyy Bhagwaan ab main kya karoongi?" Shiv jumped up from the couch as he heard Anandi's scream. He rushed to the dressing room door. He knocks on it. "Kya hua Anandiji aap aise cheekhi kyun? Koi problem hai bataiye mujhe kya hua?" Shiv was frantic. She doesn't open the door. He insists and then he asks her to open the door. She refuses again and it makes him worry even more for her and then in an angry voice he asked her to open the door at once. She opens it and sticks her head out. He saw her face and it reminded him of a scared little kitten. "Sorry Anandiji wo main aappar chilllaya. Wo main' mujhe aapki chinta ho rahi thi. Aap theek toh hai na? Aise kyun chillayi aap? Kya hua? Koi problem hai mujhe bataiye?" Shiv went on in one breath.
"Wo C S aap Ashi ko bula denge please." "Koi problem hai toh aap mujhe bataiye main aapki help kar deta hoon. Aap ne mujhe har baat batane ka promise kiya tha na?" "Nahi wo C S aap nahi kar sakte. Main aapse nahi keh sakti. Wo ladkiyon wali baat hai. C S aap please samajhiye na?" Anandi said extremely shyly. "Theek hai main Ashi ko bulata hoon." "C S Suniye!" "Sunaaiye Sarpanchji." "Wo sirf Ashi ko hi bulaiyega please." Shiv went out of the room and he shut the door. He was thinking about something and then a smile appears on his face and he shakes his head. The entire last night played in his head and he noticed something. He noticed a change in Anandi. She was using the term C S to address him far more than before.
"Ma Ashi kahan hai? Wo Anandiji ko usse kuch kaam hai." "Shiv Ashi aur Saachi toh Mahi ke saath bahar gayi hai. Kya hua?" "C M wo Anandiji ko Ashi ka kaam hai shayad tayyar hone mein madad chahiye." "Chal main kar deti hoon." "Nahi C M unhone Ashi ko hi laane ko kaha hai." "Tu bhi na Ashi se zyaada main uski help kar sakti hoon aur tu bhi tayyar hone ke baad hi kamre se nikal chal andar." She pointed at his Tee which had Anandi's sindoor marks on it. He feels extremely shy. "Nahi C M wo aap sab jaanti hai na? Aisa kuch nahi hua hai."
They come to the room. C M knocks on the dressing room door. Anandi puts out her hand and pulls her in thinking its Ashi. "Ashi dekho ye kya ho gaya." She sees C M. "CHOTI MA!!??" She hides her face in her hands and turns away as if it would eraze from C M's memory what she had just seen. "Anandi beta idhar dekho. Meri taraf dekho beta main kuch nahi kahoongi." "Anandi slowly turned towards her and Meenu saw the sp. mehndi peeping out of her wide necked blouse. "C M wo dekhiye na Saachi ne kya kiya?" "YE Saachi ne kiya?" "Nahi nahi C M wo usne mere blouse ki design ki hai toh sab aise hi honge. YE toh maine aur Ashi ne bas mehndi ke din thoda pagalpan kiya wo Saachi ka idea sunkar."Anandi voice became softer as she spoke and her last words could hardly be heard.
"Ab main kya karoon agar main seedhe pallu ke saath saree pehnoongi toh sabko pata chal jayega mera naya kaarnama aur agar aapke aur mummyji ke tarah ulte pallu wali saree pehni toh C S mooh phular baith jayenge. Shaadi ke baad mujhe saree pehnni thi is liye warna C S toh mujhe ghaghra choli ke liye hi keh rahe the. Ab main kya karoon? Kya hoga mera?" She let out cute soft sobs. Meenu helped her wear seedhe pallu waali saree with her pallu pinned on both shoulders. It made a V shape at her neckline. "Ab kuch din aise hi pehanna." She comes out with a very shy Anandi. Shiv looks at her in the saree with her pallu in a different fashion. He just gawks at her. She was wearing the saree he had liked. C M leaves them alone giving Shiv a stare.
After C M leaves Shiv compliments Anandi on how beautiful she looked and he praised her choice of saree too. He questioned her about the change in her dressing style. She just said that it was the first day of her new life and she wanted to do something new. She did not meet his eyes as she was lying. She could never look him straight in the eyes while keeping things from him. She wanted to finish getting ready and would feel a bit shy to do so in front of him. She is about to get a change of clothes for him when he stops her. He was not a child and he could do small things like removing a change of clothes. Actually he wanted her to enjoy her married life before getting busy in wifely duties.
