To derive an ultramarine azure, one had to grind, and grind, and grind the lapis lazuli to the finest powder. One, then, had to slowly mix it with some oil and lye, then suspend it in a cloth. This had to be repeated thrice till drip drip drip came the purest blue. No wonder it was the costliest paint around!

Imlie, dressed in a white chikan saree, barged into Aryan's room early morning on Chhoti Holi. She had brought a small aarti ka thaal which had various different flowers and abeers.

It was a festival, after all. The fragrance of the incense had to fill in all the crooks and cranny of the house.

It had been two months to their unacknowledged marriage, and forty-nine days to the first time she had barged into his room with all the fury of Hades in her eyes.

It still disturbed his hardly-tethered equilibrium whenever, rarely as she did, enter his room. As a matter of fact, he woke up earlier than rest of the household— usually. Here she was— at the break of dawn— dressed in a saree as fragile as a cloud; quietly waking him up in his dimly-lit, cream-coloured room.

"Dekho, uthi jao, aaj safai ma hamri madad karo. Kal ke khatir khub saari meethayian banani hain. Bahut sara kaam hai. Ab dekho uth gaye ho toh chhui muin nahi bano—", Imlie trailed off as Aryan partook the aarti, and she stuffed a bhog-barfi in his mouth.

Till only she realised how slightly her nails touched his lip, how ravishing he looked in his bed-hair, slumbered eyes, and grey sweatshirt.

She was going to be the death of him. Her very presence in his room knocked him off his feet. This— this hovering over his bed with her untangled hair, slowly feeding him sweets, was going to drive him insane

Well, the thali in her had trembled. Interesting indeed. He instinctively held her hands to lend her support. He took a bit golapi gulaal and cupped both her cheeks lightl— "Dekho, yeh ameer bakaiti nahi karo. Hamar safed sari me rang daal dees na. Ham sirf sagun ke liye ee aarti aur gulaal layi rahe. Holi kal hai. Abhi ruko tum." She threw a handful of touch-bluer-than-aquamarine colour on him and ran. Were they really fighting over gulaals?

All slumber had left him in this maelstrom of blue and pink. He fisted delicate white mogras from the aarti-ka-thal, and threw at her most indelicately. The flowers hurting so only so softly to frazzle her. Oh no! She could not and would not be had! Hiding two fistful of ocean-blue abeer, she rammed into him.

To accommodate the sudden force, he had to crouch down and be one with her. Her petite body tremored, and her fists came undone. She was, an observer would say, almost massaging the colour on the planes of his back. Moving slowly, oh ever so slowly, to his biceps, to his forearms, to his wrists— oh how they made him feel protected whenever he had fought for her.

Aryan could die a million deaths in these few seconds. Few mogras were still crushed between them, he could inhale their soft fragrance as much as he could feel her heart heaving. Oh damn! Her white sari and his room were all shades of blue.

"Holi kal hai, Imlie."

Abbe saalon! You had to tag me na?

My first thought, looks like @bluegrass has voted for cream colored walls in the playroom. My second thought maybe she changed her mind and wants blue?? 🤣 At work, between meetings and patients, be back for more later, mmmmmm….mmmm…mmm 😋😋
