Thanks lovelies for your likes & comments.
Well, I couldn't complete this story even in this part... so I am making it a short story as I have a little more to show to this couple because I wasn't able to make Madhu fall for him in a day or give Rishab a perfect family in one update so I am stretching this story a bit, may be two more parts though not sure. Hope you all will be okay with the idea.
Part - 3
(Madhu's POV)
Light fills the room, coaxing me from deep sleep to wakefulness. I stretch out and open my eyes. It's a beautiful morning. My first day in Kundra Mansion. My forever home. Beside me, Rishab is fast asleep. He still has his arm draped around my waist & I caress it gently. I smile remembering how cutely he asked me if he can hold me, last night. Apart from holding me & kissing me good night on my forehead the gesture I loved, he didn't take any advantage. He understands that I am not ready yet & ready to give me the much needed space to settle. He is such a gentleman.
I turn to my side to face my husband & when his hand slips down from my waist, I grab it & place it firmly on my hip. I like the feel of his hand on my body. Then I take the opportunity to admire the man I married. Suddenly he opens his eyes & caught me staring at him. I smile shyly & he smiles back. A cute dimple simple! Then he goes back to sleep. I lie beside him for few minutes letting him to go back to sleep & without disturbing him I slip out of his hold & quickly rush to the bath room to take a shower, on the way grabbing my cloths & towel.
When I step out of the bathroom, I find Rishab awake, sitting on the bed with his legs stretched out.
He looks up & smiles at me & I smile back as I towel dry my wet hair.
"That color looks good on you" he compliments. I am wearing a peach color saree. I know its simple but elegant showing my curves perfectly.
"Thanks" I whisper back shyly.
I turn towards the mirror still drying my hair. I notice him stepping out of the bed & walking towards me through the mirror. He stands behind me & my breath quickens at the close proximity. He turns me to face him holding my shoulder & I look up & lost in his intense gaze. I nervously take a step backward & he steps forward covering up the distance. I couldn't move back anymore as I hit the dressing table & he leans close to me taking my face between his palms & gently circling my cheeks with his thump.
"You look so beautiful and..." he pauses. My eyes widen feeling one of his hand on my curvy hip.
"And sexy" he says huskily still caressing my hip gently. I couldn't utter a word but simply gaze at him, mesmerized with his soft touch which is doing things to me. I don't know how to explain how I feel. Its so alien but feels amazing.
Then I jump in shock when his hard lips touch my soft lips but he holds my head firmly coaxing me to kiss him back. I don't know what to do. I just close my eyes & follow his lead as I kiss him back. I have never been kissed by a man & this is a first for me. My first kiss with my wonderful husband. He deepens the kiss, I start panting as I lean back & hold the dressing table for balance with one hand while other is hanging around his neck.
I don't know what is happening around me. One minute we were kissing passionately & the next minute he walks to the bathroom, leaving me aching & wanting for more. More? But what?
I couldn't believe I kissed Rishab. Well, he started the kiss but still? Am I so out of control? Couldn't I resist him but how could I? He is so attractive. Yes, he is. Undoubtedly & I have drooled him a lot secretly in office. But it was just infatuation not love. I don't want this relationship to start on the basis of lust or something which is short run. I want to know him well & fall for him wholeheartedly. Then why I kissed him now? What he will think of me when I practically gave him a long lecture on love trust & understanding & now acting like a hormonal teenager who couldn't control her desire?
God! Madhu! You really screwed up things! How could you? I feel something hot rolling down my cheek. Tears? Why am I crying now? I dash my tears away angrily & turn back to get ready.
My lips quiver up to a smile seeing my image on the mirror. I have a red streak on my forehead. But I didn't put sindoor then how? Oh my! Rishab placed the sindoor on my forehead when I was blissfully ignorant of the happening but only engrossed in our kiss. Oh wait! this is my answer he conveyed through this simple gesture. I am his wife & he loves me truly & he has the right to kiss him so he kissed me & I have nothing to feel guilty of. I smile once again before getting ready & heading up to the kitchen to make some breakfast for us to eat.
"Good morning" Rishab wishes me cheerfully, sitting on the bar stool.
"Good morning" I wish him shyly as I glance at him.
"Breakfast is ready" I tell him.
"Oh nice! But you really don't have to do this. Patil will do." he says.
"But I love to cook" I whisper placing the dishes on the table.
"Well, if you wish" he shrugs. I smile & serve him but he holds my hand stopping me from serving him.
"Sit" he insist.
"I will..."
"Please. Join me. I never had company" without a word I sit down on the chair next to him. Then we both start eating in silence helping ourselves with the food.
"What?" he asks catching me staring at him. I was expecting him to say something about the food I prepared for him but he didn't say anything.
"Nothing" I shake my head & start digging my food again.
"If you want to ask or tell something then just go head" He encourage me with a smile.
"You didn't say anything about the food?" I ask.
"Am I suppose to say something?" he asks frowning. I roll my eyes inwardly. It's my mistake to expect some compliment from him.
"No! You eat" I smile which didn't reach my eyes. Wives do expect to hear some pleasant words from their husbands right? I pout.
"Bittuji" Rishab snaps answering his phone. He never knows to give pleasantries.
"No, Bittuji... I am not... cancel all the meetings..." what? Why cancel all the meeting? I hear his one side conversation.
"Who is the boss here?... then do as I say" he cuts the call. So rude!
"You are not going to office today?" I ask him. He is dressed casually in blue jeans & white shirt. I have mostly seen him in his formal suit & he will look so business like yet very hot & handsome. But now he looks so young, of course he is young... but to be exact he looks more like a college guy than a CEO.
"No!" he replies chewing his food. Those lips! Which were on mine not too long but just some times back when we kissed. Don't think about that kiss Madhu.
"Why?" I ask. He gives me a 'Are-you-crazy?' look.
"Just yesterday we got married & today you wanna kick your husband out for work?" he asks teasingly. I giggle.
"Well, Mr. Kundra, you know what? Work is worship" I ask innocently.
"Who said that?" he asks smirking.
"My Chief" I smile. He used to be so arrogant & annoying, always barking at his employees to be professional, punctilious, perfect & quick at work. Well, he is still arrogant but going a little soft with me because now I am his wife.
"Oh really?" he smirks again. He looks sexy when he smirks.
"I thought I should spend some quality time with my newly wedded wife & get to know each other but I guess I should after all go to work as she is not willing to have me around" he sighs.
"What no! I mean... you were right. We just got married yesterday & if they see you today then people will start speaking wrong about us" I worry.
"Do you think I will give a shit on what they think? If they dare gossip around my personal life then they are fired" see, I told you right? He is so arrogant. He tone chills me to the bone.
"I am sorry" he says looking my scared expression.
"No, it's fine. I am used to it" I state.
he smirks hearing that. "I used to shout at you a lot right?" he asks. I didn't say anything. "I used to vent out all my anger on you" he says in a regretful tone.
"Even I used to give you back my heated words" I tell to appease him. If I was really at mistake then I take all his scoldings but when he shouts at me unreasonably then I shut him back.
"Yes, you do. I love your firecracker side as much as I love your soft fragile side" he says looking though my eyes.
"But I do worry you will fire me one day for questioning you or retorting you" I says. He laughs. A carefree laugh.
"Sometimes you annoy me with your 'Am I fired, Chief?' slogan" he says laughing again. I simply blush. Then we resume eating.
"I never had such a tasty breakfast ever in my life. Thank you, Madhu" he says taking my hand in his & then kisses the back of my hand before heading to his...our room. You could have told this when I asked you idiot. I chide him in my head. Then I take my hand & place my lips on top of the place were he kissed me. Oh God! I am going crazy for him.
"Hi" I walk into our room & sit next to him on the couch, hesitantly.
"Feel free, Madhu. This is your home" he smiles at me & holding my hand he went back to watch the TV. Discovery Channel! Man vs Wild. I sigh, I never liked to watch this show. This guy... What's is name? Ah! Bare Grill but he never grill or cook his food. He eats everything he finds, insects... snakes... bugs... frogs... Yuck!
"You like this show?" I ask him
"Yep" he says playing with my hand but his eyes are glued on the screen.
"Hmm..."
"You wanna watch something, Madhu?" he asks.
"Um... No!" I only watch Cartoon Network & if I tell that I am damn sure he will laugh at me & he will obviously think I am a baby. I try to stand up to bring my laptop so that I can pass time surfing but he stops me pulling me hand.
"What?" I ask.
"Sit with me. Let's talk"
"But your show?" instead answering me he simply switch off the TV. I resume my position & we both remain silent wishing the other to speak.
"Tell me about yourself" he asks breaking the silence.
"You know a lot about me & my family right? So what's there to say?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, I do. Well, you just tell me about your likes & dislikes?"
"Um... my likes..." I think. "I like kids" I blurt out.
"Hmm... interesting. I guess I can give you one" he winks & I blush. Only one? I pout at that thought.
"Then?" he asks.
"Um... I don't know. You ask me something then I will answer" I say.
"Hmm... what's your favorite color?" he asks. A simple one to answer.
"Black, white & violet"
"I thought you liked pink as you look so pretty whenever you dresses in pink"
"well, pink is a universal color for girls but not my favorite"
"Your favorite film?"
"Titanic" I say. "Now tell me yours?" I ask before he could move for next question.
"Favorite color - Blue"
"And movie..." he thinks rubbing his chin with his index finger.
"Hmm... Fast & Furious" he says.
"Suits you!" I smirk. He laughs.
"Am I always furious?" he asks raising a brow.
"Well, if I say no then it would be a lie" I tell him softly not daring to look at him. I hear his laugh again.
"You are so honest" he says smiling. I blush.
"I intimidate you right?" he asks.
"Yes you do." I whisper.
"In spite of knowing all flaws u still married me" he says with admiration.
"You are a good man, Rishab" I tell him sincerely. He smiles which melts my heart.
"Well, Your first crush?" he asks casually.
"Um..." I hesitate.
"Come on. I won't judge" he assures.
"You could easily guess him" I whisper.
"Hmm... Leonard Dicaprio?" he guesses rightly. I nod then I hear his loud laugh. Why he is laughing?
"No one else?" he probes.
"Hmm... there was this guy... very cute with dimples... he was my lab partner in chemistry... I kinda liked him but then he shifted to his native Ujjain"
"What age were you then?"
"15! I was in my 10th standard"
"Hmm... what's his name?"
"Vivian"
"Ahaan!"
"So you still remember him?"
"No! I don't. Since you asked I happen to remember him otherwise..." I shrug. He nods.
"Now tell me yours?"
"Katherine" he says softly & looks away.
"Oh" I don't know why I feel a pang of jealousy.
"My first love." he whispers.
"Then what happened?" I ask.
"I was in London then. She was my classmate. We kinda jelled up well & started dating..." his voice trails.
"Then?" I am curious to know.
"She died in one accident" he says & puts his head on his hands. What? No! Why his life so tragic?
"I couldn't forget her for long." he says in a sad tone. I take his hand & squeeze it gently to comfort him.
"I am sorry"
"No, its fine. It's been so long but still I miss her." he says & that hurts me a bit though she is no more. "Then my parents fiasco made me lose all hopes on love & marriage & that was until I met you"
"What you think about me?" he shoots his next question wanting to cheer up the mood.
"You are very competent, intelligent... um... arrogant... self centered... control freak... & heart stopping handsome..."
"Whoa! That's one huge list of adjectives. You know me pretty well I guess." he chuckles. "And you do think I am handsome"
"I guess you are well aware of that. All the women swooning on you at office & outside." I roll my eyes.
"But you never got attracted to my looks?" he questions.
"I have secretly admired you from distance but never showed it openly..."
"So you do like me?"
"Yes." I blush.
"You blush cutely" he caresses my cheek with his thumb. I blush even more.
"I guess I will go start preparing lunch for us" I tell, trying & failing miserably to calm my erratic breathing.
"So soon? Just sometimes back we had our breakfast?" he sounds disappointed.
"Yeah, But..." I don't know what to tell. I like spending time with him but this closeness is affecting me. I know he is mine like how I am his for taking but still I couldn't pluck the courage yet to take our relationship to the next level.
"Madhu, don't make dinner. We will go out tonight" he tells me. I nod.
"Then off you go! I will catch some work" He lets me go & run to the kitchen.
