Here's another little SanRaj moment for you all. Enjoy
Two's Company
DM is sitting in his room, in his chair with his back to the door reading his paper. Santu walks in and goes to sit on the edge of the bed. She leans her head against one of the posts and stares off into nowhere in particular.
DM looks up and sees her there. 'Aye Santuuuuudi, what's wrong?' Santu looks towards him and shakes her head. She replies nonchalantly 'nothing Malik'.
DM puts down his paper and stretches his legs out on the table. Whilst doing so he asks her again 'then why are you sitting there like that?'
Santo gives him a small smile. 'It's nothing. Bas, there isn't anything to do. All the housework is finished, and no-one else is around. Hiten Bhai has gone to the factory. Maulik has gone to visit Benba. Suraj is asleep. Birwa has gone to visit friends and ba and bapuji are resting. Even Champakali is out somewhere. So I'm sitting here idle'.
DM has a playful smile on his face as he calls her over. Santu walks over to him and DM reaches out and takes her hand. He gently pulls her onto his lap. Santu smiles and nestles herself into his arms. She rests her head on his shoulder and places a hand on his chest.
DM instinctively places a kiss on her head and takes her hand in his own. 'Accha, toh you have no company huh? No problem. You can keep me company while I finish reading the paper. Santu nods her consent.
DM, with one arm around her waist, picks up the paper with his other. He rests his cheek on Santu's head.
