Drabble #2~ Ridiculously MineShravan stood outside his room, the door knob in his hand and his heart beating erratically. Reason being the mere thought of staying with his wife in a room. Day and night. 24/7. This only made his heart beat faster, if it was even possible.
He was being irrational, he knew that. He had been living with Sumo for a few days now so how could today be any different?
Everything was different now because he had finally confessed his love for her and they had promised each other to solve all the misunderstandings that had kept them apart till now, even after their 'marriage'.
Shravan sighed and willed himself to gather his wit and face his wife and
try to be as normal as possible, if not for his sake then at least for Sumo's sake. He could try not to make the situation anymore awkward than it already was, all thanks to the incessant teasing from his family members.
He slowly entered his room and walked in only to find a terribly confused and distressed Sumo standing in the middle of the closet. She looked up at him as he came to stand beside her. He slightly tilted his head to the side, his gaze questioning.
"Shravan mere kapde..."
Sumo gestured towards the half empty closet and it dawned on Shravan that amid all the confessions, reunions, family dinner, teasing and general merriment, they had forgotten to bring Suman's stuff back from the Tiwari Villa!
Everyone had retired to their respective rooms and now it was nearing midnight.
This had to happen with Sumo! Shravan thought humorously but tried very hard to control his laughter. He couldn't risk to upset his wife, at least not today!
"Ab mei kya pehnoogi?" Sumo asked.
"Kuch nahi..." Shravan replied nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. Only after Sumo looked at him with wide eyes and a beet red face did Shravan realized his folly and his eyes to widened, mirroring his wife's expression along with a slight blush staining his cheeks.
You d**k! Shravan mentally slapped himself. He anticipated a whack from Sumo but it looked like she was too scandalized to say anything at the moment.
Damage control. Damage control. "Uh mei...mera woh matlab nahi tha Sumo...!" He squeaked.
Toh kya matlab tha?! Think you fool! "I meant tum aise he aaj soo jaao... Kal subha me mangwa doonga. Tumhara saaman I mean...with all your clothes and all other stuff...matlab everything..."
Shut up! Shut up! Shravan's internal talks with his conscience was making it even more difficult for him to concentrate. He needed to say something sensible to cover his folly. ASAP.
"Shravan pagal ho gaye ho kya?! Mei in kapdo me sooungi? Pata bhi hai kitna uncomfortable hai yeh sab...?"
Suman ranted gesturing towards her blue dress and looking at herself in the full length mirror. Shravan just stared at her and
bam! He again created a blunder.
"You look beautiful..."
Suman stared at him through the mirror, mouth agape.
"Tum yeh lo, aaj mere kapde pehenlo...yeh comfortable rahega...yeh lo!"
Shravan fumbled in his closet and took out a pair of track pants and a shirt, almost shoving them in Sumo's hands. He turned back to his closet and took his night clothes and hurried off to the bathroom leaving a flustered Sumo in his wake.
Shravan kept cursing at himself while changing in his set of track pants and T-shirt. He took a deep breath and vowed not to mess up again after going out.
So much for not making it awkward...He slowly came out only to witness the most ridiculously adorable sight in front of him. Standing in the center of the room was Sumo, practicality swimming in his shirt and pants!!
His heart warmed up seeing
her in his clothes. He was glad his practical mind was out in the dumpsters when he had given her his clothes to wear. He went and stood in front of her, looking down at his wife. She looked irritated and was in the process of opening her mouth probably to give him an earful for his stupidity but she stopped when he bent down and started rolling up the pant sleeves.
Shravan felt a feather light touch caress his hair. He stood up and started rolling her sleeves too, maintaining a constant eye contact with his beautiful wife. He could feel the air around them shift and it was getting difficult for him to breath. Suman blushed under his heavy gaze, which in itself was unlike her and tried to look away.
Shravan loved the effect he had on her, a blushing Sumo was a sight for him and he was going to discover every way possible to make her blush even more. He tentatively cupped her face in his palms and slowly bent his face to her level. He gave her ample time to stop him and push him off but she didn't.
This overwhelmed Shravan. No matter how crazy and ridiculous his wife looked at the moment, she was his.
He bent to capture her lips for their first kiss, in
the centre of the room.
