If only:VOL III-a one shot MICHI FF

Walking hurriedly towards the washroom prachi had hastily cast a glance at the figure lying at her back with arms and mouth wide opened,she wAnted to giggle but she knew this wAs the best time,her man was a little arrogant,still she loved him....love?when did she fall in love...they got married yesterday only ...maybe love's too quick.....she blushed At seeing the white sheets with some spots and blushed with known thought And mAde A mentAl note to chAnge it as soon As he goes for taking A bath....

she entered the wash-room,the environment wAs so new to her yet insteAd of being nervous she wAs elated.....she touched the toiletries and she could smell her husband's aroma in them or it was their smell in him?whatever it maybe but she couldn't deny that it pleAsed her to no limits....she dropped all her inhibitions And twisted the shower-knob,her pink cheeks turned crimson remembering their nupital night....Milind mishra,owner of envy house wAs An ethical and An Arrogant businessmAn,people hAve known him for his Absurdness and distAnt behAviour with female colleAgues,it wasn't that he wAs A saint or A celibAte And those who had this doubt could ask his wife about their golden night....but he was a rough man to begin with,his too manly nature is what had him outclAssed,but prAchi being a rif-raf wAs nervous,her fAther liked milind...Almost everyone was fond of him while he hArdly exchAnged Any greetings with her until yesterday....And even A thought hAunted her what if he's not interested in her,but last night-....prachi wiped her damp body with a towel knowing she'll be the matter of jealously for many women....who wouldn't die for being his better-hAlf...as she started wrApping the folds of her saree her heArt tingled with A question whAt if she's not a good wife in future,she knew she was being stupid but tears were there....she was just too sensitive...everything And Anything could possibly hurt her....

milind stretched his arms only to catch Air....he opened his eyes....the room was in errie,he stretched his arms but still didn't get up,his eyes serAched for A single soul..but she wasn't in his sight,he then heArd the sound of her bAngles and smiled with satisfAction....never he hAd felt so light,he wasn't sure About this mArriage,they were poles ApArt And for once he liked chemistry which says opposite's attrAct....he remembered how shy and nervous she was yesterday but he's a mAn for A reAson....she wAs bAby-soft,innocent yet he could feel she is best for him.....his eyes dArted towArds the door when he heArd A click....And that sight insteAd of pleAsing him hAd left him shocked.....

his dAinty wife's tear-strAined cheeks shattered his heart?all sort of stupid thought rAn over his mind....whAt if she didn't like him?is she hurt?i hope she's not regretting it.....milind like A panther bounced towArds her,she wAs Applying vermillion on her pArted scalp,she saw him through mirror and tried to smile back but she knew she fAiled in this tests....

milind kept the vermillion box on tABle After tAking it awAy from her And turned her Around.....he wasn't sure About how to ask her whats the matter,he hardly know her....okAy being mArried And sharing A night isn't included in knowing someone but still he felt he hAd known her for ages,without A second thought he cupped her cheeks in his broAd-pAlm And Asked "whAt hAppened,prachi"...prAchi nodded her heAd and wiped her eyes with the bAck of her hAnds,for a moment to milind she looked like a 5 yeArs old girl being cAught by her mother for stoling A chocolAte?.

milind again asked her softly"do you regret it"...she in return gaped at him And instinctively nodded as no,how could that thought possibly come from she wondered....he hesitated in asking,then said"your hurt?"....her cheeks took up a color again....she finally held his hand over her face And confessed"there Are many beautiful And sophisticated ladies around you...what if-...if i am not A good wife"....milind smiled fully at her sentence though she didn't say what she wAnted but he knew there was An insecurity penetrating inside her....he immediately pulled her in a bear hug without any hesitation And said "you scAred me for no reason,i have Always been loyal in every relation....be it son,brother,friend,a strict disciplinarine and now a husband......you might be knowing my imAge i hArdly get involved with femAle counterpArts,they Are just my counterpArt not my hAlf-part...my better-hAlf"....he felt her smile against his chest and smiled too.....

Being tied in A bond All you need is A heArt which mAtches with you,A pair of eyes which looks through you And a soul which purifies you even with A smile??once a fAmous comediAn chArlie chaplin said "i love to wAlk in the rain so no one cAn see my tears"...behind every smile there can be pain,its upon you how YOU deAl with it....deal the situation with a light heart hAlf of the things hAppen becAuse of our reAction And lAter we Are just left with two words..IF ONLY...
