Part 7
After getting the kids ready for school and having Tony their butler of many years look after them. Bani made her way upstairs, to get ready for work.
Opening her closet she looked at her wardrobe, day by day each of her clothes were not fitting her, she was pushing them on the corner of her closet.
"Maybe I should just wear an salwar," she told her self, as she went to her Indian section of her wardrobe.
Many of her salwars that had churdiar pants, didn't fit her. She decided to wear an beige kameez with black woven work in floral designs with an plain black salwar. The sleeves end, neckline and the edge of the hemline is adorned with black patch work with woven work in floral designs embellished with sequins. Link to Salwar http://i31.tinypic.com/2ep23wi.jpg
After getting dressed she looked at herself in the mirror, as she placed the duppta around her neck.
No longer her face showed the innocent of an child, or an young woman who was learning about the world. The innocence and flush of first youth has transformed into maturity and lines of lives experience etched on her face.
Her hair had few strands of grey hairs, which she went and got dyed in the Salon by her hair dresser.
In the past years she has lost the baby fat and innocence of youth but a chiseled version of her younger self. After the pregnancy she her belly button was not the same, with her aging she had wider hips.
"Someone looks beautiful." The voice of her husband made her come back from her thoughts, as she turned around and looked at him, he was wearing an navy blue dress shirt with few buttons open, but his hair was gelled.
As he stepped inside the closet making it looked smaller, and he began selecting his tie.
" Is there Anything special Bani? As he took out his tie, and shoes and headed for the small stool that was next to the island.
"No", She picked up her clothes and used the adjoining door and went inside the bathroom to put them inside the hamper.
Coming out she saw, him sitting on the stool, next to the island, and wearing his shoes.
"Jai", she called out to him.
"Yes Bani" He replied back to her.
"Do you think I look old?" She leaned against the door frame, and looked at her husband, as she asked him this question. His eyes looked her up in shock.
"This isn't one of your rhetorical questions right?"
"I just want to know?"
"Bani we are not young, like we once were, and we don't have the energy but with your age you are looking beautiful day by day." He said smiling, then continued lacing his shoe.
Why didn't she feel flattered by his comments? She thought to herself.
"So you are telling me I am old, and that what you tell your friends when you golfing, or to an bar. My wife is old, she has wrinkles."
"When did I say that, he looked at her in disbelief."
She was giving him angry glares, and to early in the morning before they both left for work and started their day.
"Bani you will have to accept the fact that you re old."
"When did I say I am not accepting the fact that I am getting old."
"What did you accept when you asked me the question.."
"Oh I don't know, as she threw way her hands in the air. Jeez honey you look wonderful and more beautiful then the day I meant you, and you look more ravishing memorizing since our wedding day. But no," shaking her head, as she came in front of him, and started buttoning his shirt.
"When will you learn to button your shirt, dam you Jai Walia you are father of three children and you are going to be an father of fourth child."
She made the fourth child sound like as he was having an affair or something, but he kept is mouth shut.
He started down at his wife, as she buttoned his shirt, and then move to wrap around the tie around his neck.
"Have I mention how much love you…"
"Don't you say that, and use it against me." She warned him.
"I am not trying to " Bani rolled her eyes.
"Bani when are you going to go maternity shopping?" He changed the subject as he knew she how much she enjoyed shopping especially of clothes.
"Why? Are you going to acccompany me shopping? "
"No, I was just wondering."
"Then don't talk."
"Bani..."
" What? Are you telling me that I look fat?"
Jai looks at her, someone got up at the wrong side of the bed. "No, I was saying since you like shopping."
She gave him an mean glare, folded her arms. "Are you saying that I am fat. " She turned around not wanting to see his face.As he mentally kicked himself, he forgot how emotional his wife was when she was pregnant.
"Bani, honey, darling, sweetheart I didn't mean that. Of course you are going to get fat, he bit his lips after he let the word out of his mouth. I mean you are going to gain weight since you are eating for two, and you will look so cute with your pregnancy glow."
Bani turned around, and she wasn't pleased with his reply.
"So know you are indicating that you always like to see me when I am pregnant, with an enormous belly? "
"I didn't… he was cut of by her.
"Well I got news for you Buster, this is the last time I having your child." She stormed out of the walk in closet.
He heard their bedroom door slam, leaving an confused Jai behind as he finished dressing, wondering what did he do to his wife to make her mad. Maybe it's the mood swings or the pregnancy hormones that kicking in, he thought to himself as he mentally counted the months left until the baby is born.
