Thank you for the lovely response..sorry i got late this time...here is the pending update...Chapter 3
Next few mornings went away in a total messy schedule for Aisha.Her mother-in-law had taken it as her duty to teach her everything about being the best daughter-in-law for her house hold.Aisha had understood her nature and stopped overreacting.She handles her temper and her blabberings quite tactfully,though hiding her frustration and irritation from her mother-in-law becomes difficult at times.
One such occassion when all were sitting for lunch together and sam's siblings were spending their time teasing their brother and sister in law about their honeymoon trip, Sam's Mother had indirectly started the discussion of their heir and why they should plan children as early as possible.Ayesha had fisted her palm under the table to control her temper.Sam had noticed that and taken the situation at hand,but Ayesha had already lost her temper and walked back to her room,leaving the food intact.
After spending about 10 days with Sam's family and occasionally visiting her own parents Ayesha and Sameer went back to mumbai.They reached mumbai early morning and it took them about another half n hour to reach his place.Balancing the extra luggages in his arms Sameer held out the key to Aisha to open the door of his flat.Aisha opened and stepped into the flat.
It was a two bedroom flat with a balcony attached to each of the rooms.The living and dining area was quite large with a small kitchen at one end.The rooms were not too decorated and had unusual things kept all around.Glasses with a water jug,a plate with some leftover fruit pieces,an empty bottle of juice and some empty toothpaste tubes were places on the dining table.
A thick layer of dust covered the whole house.The sofas and chairs in the living room mainly contained some leftover clothes,socks,washed clothes from the cleaners,shoes remained scattered all around.Crumbled papers,cans,rippers,packets and such similar things lay on the floor.
Ayesha looked around the mess and her eyes went wide in shock.Sameer came in with the luggage after her.He kept down the luggage and looked at Ayesha,who was looking around completely confused.Sameer looked around and felt embarrased at the situation the place was in.He quickly started sorting out everything.Look his shoes and left them at the side of the door,took the clothes and threw them at an further end and made place on the sofa for her.
'baitho na aisha,'he called her,
Ayesha looked at the sofa and then at him with a weird expression on her face.
'wo mein jaipur chala gaya tha na,to ghar ki aisa halat ho gayi,wo bai bhi nehi ayi aur mein to office jata hu..sorry,'he said busily cleaning the other mess.
Ayesha was listening to his explanation with a raised brow and a blank face.Sameer understood his worthlessness at home has been caught red handed and felt embarassed.He muttered a slight
'sorry' and looked at her.
Ayesha looked at his shy red face and a smile spread across her face.She started laughing and shook her head at him.He smiled too and went to move the curtains and open the windows.Bright sunlight and light breeze blew inside the room taking away the dusty smell due to the prolonged closure has caused.
Aisha was still looking around the house and peeping inside the bedrooms when Sameer came beside her.
'Aisha ye mera room hai,tum wo wala room lelo,chalo mein tumhare bags de deta hu,'
'Sameer ruko,pehele zara ghar saaf karle?'
'haan okay,per kaha se suru kare?'sameer said scared to even look around,
'bedroom se,tum apna saaf karlo mein apna kar leti hu,'
'okay,'
After about 2 hours everything was set in their house.Aisha had gone to take a shower and a fresh Sameer was preparing coffee for both of them with some toasted bread.
Ayesha came down about half n hour later and found Sameer sitting on the sofa with coffee and munching on a toast,watching TV.Ayesha gave a quick look at the dining table and found a plate with some toast and a flask kept on it.She stepped down and walked towards Sameer.
Sameer heard her footsteps and turned to find her standing behind him.He gestured her the food kept on the table to which she smiled.She went to the table and poured the coffee in the mug kept,took the plate and sat beside Sameer on the sofa.
She was hungry and ate the food hurriedly.Sameer was sipping his coffee and watching TV,occasionally glancing at the hungry cat gobbling the toasts like roasted meat.Ayesha finished her food and relaxed on the sofa.She was tired of the journey and then cleaning the house has taken every bit of her energy.
'Lunch order kar dete hai,kiya khaogi?,'Sameer's voice startled her and she looked at him surprised,
'kiya hua??lunch nehi karna??abhi bhi bohot kam baki hai?'sameer again said with a smile,
'haan,thik hai,waise bhi kitchen mein kuch bhi nehi hai,'Ayesha replied,
'haan pata hai,mein normally bahar hi khata hu,isi liye,'Sameer replied embarrased,
'samaj gayi,sham ko shopping chalte hai,saman le lenge,'Ayesha said,
'okay,abhi filhal chalo lunch order karke luggage unpack kar lete hai,'
They ordered lunch and Ayesha took her bags in her room.Sameer too took his in his room.Ayesha opened her bags and arranged her things.While arranging she remembered she kept a few things in sameer's bag as well.She went to his room and knocked, but he didnt open.She knocked again but still there was no response.She turned the door knob and peeped in.The room was bright due to the sunlight coming from the window.
Ayesha went in and looked around.The bags lay on the ground in front,half open,few things kept on the table some on bed and some clothes kept on the chair.The cupboard door open and in the middle on the bed sameer lay asleep on his stomach.She smiled at his sleeping form and sat down to take her things from the bag.She took them carefully without making any noise.She went out closing the door behind.
Ayesha had finished arranging her room and lay on the bed lazily when the door bell rang.She went down and opened the door.The lunch order had come.She took the food and paid the man.She set the food on the table and went to call sameer who was still sleeping peacefully not bothered about whats going on outside.
Ayesha shook him and he woke up.He opened his eyes with great efforts and looked at her.He frowned and asked her,
'tum kaun ho?'
Ayesha was smiling at his gestures but his question surprised her.She started wondering if this man suffered from any memory loss disease.Her smile vanished and she stood up from the bed.
'mein ayesha,humari shadi hui hai,apko yaad nehi,'she replied nervously,
'Shadi?ohh haan.Sorry Ayesha,please mind maat karna.Wo ye shadi ke chakkar mein na kuch din se bilkul soya nehi hu,aur mujhe na yaha sone ki aadat par gayi hai,mein neend mein sab bhool gaya,'sameer replied sraching his head,
Ayesha was still doubtful about his memory and kept looking at him with wierd expression.She saw him strech his legs and let the thought rest for some time later. Sameer got and went for lunch with her.Sameer sat by the table while Ayesha went to bring the plates.
Ayesha came back with the plates to find sameer sleeping keeping his head on the table and hands hanging by his side.Now she was getting angry.She called him loudly and he woke up shocked.
She ignored his gaze and served the food.She sat down to eat.Both finished their lunch and Sameer went to sleep again while Ayesha was feeling tired but not sleepy.She sat down on the sofa to watch TV and slowly fell asleep lying there.
It was late evening when both woke up.Sameer was rubbing his eyes and sipping his third cup of coffee,while ayesha was having a cup of strong tea.They went out for shopping by late evening and came back late night after dinner.Both retired for the day as sameer had to join duty the next day and Ayesha had to meet the commisioner for her next assignment.
