🤣🥺

In the middle of penning something down... But will have to cut it short, have to go run some errands. I don't believe it is snowing again... arggghhh!!!!

Anyway should have something ready for late evening/night...

OMG the freaking storm and my mother's iron will to force me home at crack of dawn. Snowing like no tomorrow there and when I come back up to the mountain. there is rain everywhere. the wind was so strong I felt like I was going to fall off the bridge. I have a lot of hair on my head and it is mostly lovely but not when you are walking on a flyover with a narrow sidewalk and no vision because the damn locks wont listen.😡 today was quite an adventure. thank you god I made back alive.

good luck and be safe!

Chapter 12

"Madhu beta, I am so happy today. Finally God has listened to my prayers." Radhaji said lovingly, while gifting Madhu, when it was actually Rishab, a pair or ancestral bangles. Rishab added his two cents, "and He has decided to make up for it too. You asked for bahu to come home and you got baby free, free, free."

Madhu who stood behind Rishab during this exchange poked Rishab lightly on the back, so as to shut him up. If was not careful, he might just give us away. But more than that she was waiting for a chance to give it back to him for all the times he left her her embarrassed and red in the face in front of Maa.

"What? I was just... EMPHASISING!!" Rishab said when Madhu glared at him.

Radhaji looked on confused at the two of them, who seemed to have exchanged personalities. Usually Rishab was the one who came up with jibes and comments such as these while Madhu either glared at him or looked on embarrassed. But today she was surprised to have Madhu talking like Rishab. Maybe it is hormones!! Yeah.. they couldn't exchange... No that is just stupid..

"I will go tomorrow morning itself to Siddhivinayak and give thanks and in thanksgiving for such a blessing also feed all the blind children at Happy Home in Worli."

Now that is exactly what Madhu was waiting for. She smirked. "Yeah Maa, maybe if you do that God might be so happy that he might drop more blessings into our laps. After our current blessing...," Madhu lovingly caressed Rishab's swollen stomach, "another... and then another... and then another... and then.."

Radhaji smiled at the thought and secretly hoped it came true. While Rishab's smile which graced his face a minute ago turned into horror as he visualised himself pregnant, carrying and caring for a baby in each arm and two more attached to each foot, all of them calling/crying out 'Momma' - one for a bottle, one for a diaper change, one for his pacifier, one just for the heck of it.

Who knew when they would change back. And yeah he loved his baby, but more of them...

"Hell no!!" he whispered to himself. He turned around in Madhu's arms and glared at her. "If you want more, you carry them. If I am to carry them, I decide when and how many. Get that and get that straight. And don't think you can get away easy. You are going to be equally responsible for the kids, changing their diapers, preparing their bottles, putting them to bed etc. You will have equal responsibility in disciplining them. You..."

Radhaji walked away happily leaving them to discuss the number of future grandchildren she would have. She clapped her hands together and looked towards the sky asking for a minimum of four, hoping she was not getting too greedy.

Madhu raised her eyebrow and looked at Rishab. She had remained quiet during his rant. And now was highly amused as she watched him go from confusion to understanding to full blow panic.

Rishab was mid-rant when he noticed Madhu's expression and stopped looking confused. He played back his ramblings and shuddered. "Oh God, I am changing into a woman. I need to get into my body now."

Madhu supported him as he walked in a daze towards their bedroom, trying to find solutions so as to retrieve his manhood and fast. He was already beginning to think like a woman, and if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long till he started acting like one. And to add to his current anxiety, he wanted mango pickle and kulfi now, as in right this very second or he was gonna just start crying. Oh God!! He couldn't deal with the woes of womanhood.

*******

Now that Rishab had calmed down and relaxed a little after eating some mango pickle and kulfi, he remembered seeing Madhu sneaking around before lunch and their non completed talk about it.

He leaned against the wall watching Madhu arrange the closet, adding in her clothes or rather his clothes now, which they picked up from Padmini's that morning.

"So Madhu... did you find what you were looking for earlier?" Madhu faked ignorance and started walking towards the wash-room in order to escape from the inevitable line of questioning. Rishab grasped her hand, "So you haven't finished searching the wash-room yet?"

Madhu freed her hand and turned towards Rishab. "I wasn't looking for anything ok. I ... I.. I was going to the wash-room to do you know wash-room related stuff."

"Yeah, the same way the colonists went to the Boston Tea Party you know to do tea related stuff...But you know what the wash-room idea sounds good. Let us both go." Rishab said pulling Madhu towards the wash-room.

"What!! What do you mean? I am quite capable of going to the wash-room myself. Thank you very much." Madhu said nudging her hand easily from Rishab's girly grasp.

"Why? You shouldn't have a problem. I mean it is nothing I haven't seen. For God's sake, that body was 'MINE' and 'I' used to handle its 'equipment' until last night." Rishab said glancing at Madhu slowly from top to bottom.

Madhu looked at Rishab exasperated with the tug of war game he liked to play. Though she too played to win, in the end he usually won, mainly because he always managed to drive her up the wall in the bargain. He was like a dog with a bone. Will keep gnawing at it till there is nothing. He had all the patience in the world when it came to stuff like this. Not that she wasn't a patient person, but when it came to things and arguments such as these, she felt it best not to drag it for that long. Like they say, you should choose your battles.

"FINE... I was snooping around okay. I wanted to know what you were upto all these months."

Rishab looked at her and then suddenly smiled. "Good. Because I want to show you what I have been upto. Come." He wrapped his hand around Madhu's arm and took her to his personal domain, where no one was granted entry.

Thank you ... Great having you aboard... 😃
