Hi guys!
I have been a RT-MC fan since PRC days and loved them in DV also. After being inspired by all the lovely FFs written on them, I finally decided to post something of my own.
I have written a small story, rather a three shot on them.
But before that a slight intro of the characters
I have taken the names from DV'.so my protagonists are Veer and Ananya
Veer is from a royal family but their family doesn't rule any place.
Nivritti is Veer's mother. She is a widow and volunteers in an orphanage.
Dharam & Veer are maternal cousins. Dharam is elder to Veer by two years and is married to Sia
In this story Veer and Ananya are married.
And also Veer-Ananya & Dharam-Sia used to study in the same college
A/N: Earlier I used to read a FF 'DV in 21st century' written by Anusha and absolutely loved it. Her writing mainly inspired me to write. So in the story you may find slight references to situations from that story or similar characterization'.but I've NOT COPIED anything.
If Anusha di ever reads this, I would like to thank her for writing such a beautiful story (though incomplete).
Sorry for the long ramble, so here's the 1st part. Hope you enjoy it!

PAYBACK
Part I
Her eyes fluttered open as the sunrays hit her eyes. She looked over at the clock beside the bed. It said "7.00 AM". Boy, he was late. Of course him, her lovely infuriating husband, Veer. She was never late. Well today there was no chance. There was no college. Yes, she was completing her MBA degree as she had wished and he had insisted on it. While he was working at an MNC with a handsome pay, just as he deserved. They could have put off the wedding until she finished her studies but they couldn't resist each other. They were madly in love with each other. But nonetheless, they equally enjoyed annoying each other.
Her chain of thoughts was broken as Veer cuddled into her and held her tighter. Oh! He looked so handsome and cute. Looking at him sleeping so soundly, she suddenly remembered something. She had yet to settle her scores with him.
He would certainly have to pay for drenching her with a bucketful of cold water to 'wake her up' when she was enjoying her beautiful Sunday slumber. How she hated waking up early on a Sunday and he knew it. When she was about to shout at him, he had smiled beautifully at her. She was baffled. He had come nearer, picked her up, headed towards the bathroom and dropped her in the filled bathtub. She was flabbergasted. He had quickly fled shouting, "Thought you needed a bath." When she had finally come out after drying herself, he was already busy with a client in the living room. He had spent rest of the day outside due to work. (Such a workaholic works on a Sunday!!!) So all she could do was nothing. Absolutely nothing!
But she was not Ananya for nothing. Just then a vicious thought fleeted in her mind. It was not as bad as his. But it would annoy him pretty fine.
Ananya again looked over at the clock. It was 7.30. Goodness she took up so much time thinking. But it would work better for her plan.
She slowly freed herself from Veer's arms and walked towards the kitchen. She took the pan and started making his favorite pasta for breakfast. Then she headed towards the cupboard and took the Nescafe jar. Oh how he loved her coffee. She took the carry tumbler and poured milk, added sugar and then four spoonful of coffee powder. "That should be bitter enough", she thought. Then she went to pack his lunch. Salty chapatti, uncooked rice, tasteless dal and extra spicy sabzi with dollops of red chili powder. She giggled thinking of how red he would become when he would eat his lunch. He hated it if there was anything wrong with his food. Today everything was. But he wouldn't be able to shout at her. He would be powerless and angry. How satisfying! She was tempted to go to his office and see his face but knew that she would be dead if she did so.
*****************
Meanwhile in the bedroom Veer stretched his arms and turned to kiss his wife. When he found no one, he was surprised that she was already awake. Then he glanced at the clock."'8.15 AM'. His head quickly shot up. He was running extremely late. His usual wake up time was 6.00am as he went for a jog after that. He had slept late last night but how could he oversleep for two hours? Oh god! He had to receive the delegates today, and then discuss an important deal over lunch. He had no time to think why she didn't wake him up. He ran towards the shower and was ready in ten minutes.
*************************
She turned around beaming as he walked in the living room and she said, "Morning, love." "Morning" "Hey, you look tensed! Guess you're running late. Here have your breakfast. I made your favorite pasta." She smartly didn't give him the time to respond or ask her anything about not waking him up.
He was pleasantly surprised. He quickly ate the sumptuous pasta. As he was about to leave, Ananya came rushing and handed him his lunch. "Here you go. I thought I would make lunch for you as I had no college today. And here's your coffee." She said as she gave him the tumbler.
And she smiled charmingly. Aww her smile just eased Veer of all his tension and he had that sudden urge to stay back with her all day. But he soon gathered himself up and with a quick peck rushed downstairs, shouting, "Love you. Bye!" Ananya yelled back, "Have a nice day". She was so sure he couldn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He hurried along the road to catch a cab as he took a sip of his coffee. As soon as he sipped it, the bitter taste exploded in his mouth and he spat it all out. That was the worst coffee he had ever had. He instantaneously looked towards their balcony on the 5th floor. Ananya was standing there.
As she saw him looking at her, as expected, she waved to him. She couldn't resist seeing his shocked face. She laughed shamelessly and blew a kiss to him.
He couldn't understand why she had grinned. He looked down at the coffee as if it had some tranquilizer which had affected his mind. He turned to look back at Ananya trying to interpret the situation. But she was not there. He wondered if he was hallucinating.
Ananya couldn't control her laughter anymore. She had already rushed inside clutching her stomach. Now she was standing near the bedroom window behind the curtain. She saw him. He looked as if he had seen a ghost in the coffee and the balcony. She could understand as no one in his life had tampered with his food so badly and she was the least expected. She always cooked when she had to make it up to him, certainly not annoy him. But there is a first to everything, she thought and pitied him on how he would react after his "delicious" lunch.
Veer was still staring at the balcony. A honk broke his trance. He trashed the tumbler thinking that she had probably messed up as she must have rushed to make him coffee. He dismissed any further thoughts and quickly sat in the cab saying, "Santacruz airport".
Ananya saw him go and turned to complete her notes.
