The Tasteless Noodles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After switching off the television, Rey came in his room to sleep. But all his sleep was gone in a second when he saw his wife making the bed. His sleepy mode directly switched to his romantic mood. He quietly crept up behind Taani and circled his arms round her waist, but she showed no sign of blushing. Just her calm cool expression! She removed his hands in a hustle and told him to go to sleep, as he might be tired. Ignoring his calls of asking her what happened, she went to the bathroom to change. She stood in front of the mirror, and watched herself pour down tears making their mark on the face. Quickly, rubbing of the stains she change into the nightwear, and went to the kitchen to drink water as Rey settled on the bed.
"Abh maine kya kiya?" Rey asked himself. His mind quickly worked to rewind the whole day's events to figure out the reason for this quiet Taani on a Sunday. He remembered her kissing in the kitchen while she was making breakfast but she couldn't be angry with him for this. Then he remembered pulling her in the shower while she was dusting the room and NO, she couldn't possibly be angry for that! He remembered her making noodles for him, and then he eating it. NO, no reason for being angry there too. And then his intelligent brain figured out the reason.
-Flashback-
"Rey, I tried making noodles! Please try, and tell me how they taste" She excitedly put the plate before Rey, who was awaiting his India v/s Pakistan match. He tasted the noodles, and darn, those slippery strings tasted so heavenly. But he quickly made a yuck' expression on his face, and saw her face turning to a disappointed one. He so enjoyed pulling his innocent wife's leg.
"Taani, they are totally tasteless" He grimly said, and as the clock stroke 8, he jumped up and switched on the television to view the India-Pak match, royally ignoring his wife's tears. And he totally forgot to appreciate Taani for her noodles, as he wondered of the land of sixes and fours.
Taani threw the noodles into the dustbin, and swore not to make noodles again in her life. Thinking that Rey might be probably bored of her Indian dishes, she had tried some angrezi' dish. But NO, this man didn't know to appreciate his wife only. Tasteless Noodles' they were the words ringing in her ears.
"Oh crap! She's angry for that! Rey, you stupid baboon, how could you forget to appreciate her for that! That's all because I was happy with Raina's winning six that I forgot!" Rey thought as he bit his nails thinking on how to manaofy his wife.
Taani came in, and switched off the lights, and slept with her back facing Rey.
"Good Night, Jaan" Rey whispered.
"GOOD Night" Taani said, laying stress on the sarcastic word Good'.
"Taani!" Rey whispered again, hoping to apologize the very next second.
"Hmm" Taani spoke with heaviness brimming up due to the crocodile tears she was still pouring.
"Before I apologize, I want you to know that I love you very much and secondly, you're the best wife and the best cook ever. I loved your noodles to the core, and yes my innocent wifey, I was just pulling your leg. Abh, pati vrata patni ke saath itna mazak toh banta hai nah? I repeat, they were the best tastiest noodles ever. Mujhe toh tumhare haath ke dal chaval bhi pasand he, yeh to noodles the! Please maaf kardo?" He apologized sincerely, and could hear her quietly sighing.
"You're just saying it cause I was crying. You didn't really mean it" She whispered, still with her back facing him.
Anger now on his side, he turned her and laid his lips roughly on her. After pulling out from the harsh, yet gentle, kiss, he asked her "Abhi manti ho ki I didn't mean what I said" while she playfully hit him. And, then smiled
She hugged him, and he hugged her back, and together they drifted off the land of dreams.
And the next day when Rey asked her to make noodles for him, she frowned and said
"I swore not make noodles again in my life, and so I won't"
And Rey swore not to pull his wife's leg, ever again. Because this time it cost him the Tasteless Noodles.
