here is a cookie from my fic "the black anarkali" - i call it a cookie because it's like a random piece of fluff that isn't properly written and probably won't make it to the final draft :P

abhi pulled the pins from pragya's chignon and gently tugged with his fingers until her hair fell free. "i guess it's ok for the gala, but don't wear your hair like this at home. i like my chashmish's hair loose and wild and sexy, all spread out for me to touch and nuzzle and sniff..."

"accha..."

"and i like my chashmish with her chashma. otherwise it's not clear that you're chalak and dangerous."

"hmm...aur kuch?"

"i like my chashmish in her full-sleeved chatris...this one is nice but i don't like if greaseballs and pharmacists and drooling babies can just run their worthless hands along my chashmish's silky skin..."

"oh is that how it is?"

"yes...and i like my chashmish smiling and laughing...and i'm going to make it so that she looks at me and not the greaseball for happy memories..."

"are you?"

"yes...starting now."

LEVEL ONE: Meet Cute - fall off a bridge - can player 1 maneuver Abhi to catch Pragya in time? can player 2 control Pragya's reactions so that she gets sassy as soon as he gets sarcastic?

content advisory: this drabble explores the idea of abhi being bisexual and pragya being open-minded :P



DRABBLE: THE STRANGER

*abhigya at a restaurant, eating in silence*

*daadi sent them for a romantic dinner*

*of course there's no romance, but at least they're both enjoying their food and abhi's enjoying his wine*

*suddenly a really hot guy approaches their table*

*like, really, really hot*

*pragya is a little dazed, taking in his tall, lean figure, his dark eyes and dark hair and wicked smile, his perfect face and his dapper clothes...what a dreamboat!*

*abhi snaps angrily: YOU?!*

*pragya is startled by his tone and frowns at him*

*the stranger just laughs and says: yes, hello Abhi! it's been too long! and this here is Mrs. Abhi? pleased to meet you!*

*the stranger takes pragya's hand and kisses it, pragya blushes*

*abhi looks like he wants to swipe pragya's hand away but he restrains himself. he says to the stranger: i thought you were in new york?*

*the stranger: well, yes, but i'm visiting for a few weeks. thought i'd look you up, but i guess you're busy since you got married?*

*abhi: yes. very busy. too busy for you.*

*pragya: abhi! don't be rude. she turns to the stranger and asks: would you like to join us?*

*abhi: no!*

*pragya glares at abhi but it doesn't affect him*

*the stranger says in a friendly way: oh, not tonight. but i would love to join you two another time. later.*

*abhi growls: gaurav...!*

*pragya smiles at gaurav to make up for abhi's bad manners. she says: that would be lovely. i'll look forward to it.*

*gaurav smirks at abhi. he says to pragya: oh, so will i! until we meet again, then?*

*pragya smiles at him*

*gaurav returns the smile. he raises an eyebrow at abhi, who just glares at him. nonetheless he leans in and kisses abhi's cheek before he leaves.*

*gaurav whispers to abhi: don't be like that old friend. just think of all the fun we could all have together.*

*abhi answers in a fierce undertone: i don't share my wife. not even with you, so stop thinking about it.*

*pragya wonders what they're talking about and why abhi looks so annoyed and why gaurav's eyes suddenly widened in surprise*

*gaurav straightens up and says in a normal tone of voice: oh, is that how it is? then i'm glad. you deserve to be happy. i hope you two have a long happy married life together.*

*pragya smiles at this kind remark. abhi just looks at gaurav through narrowed eyes that scream "get lost"*

*gaurav finally leaves*

*pragya turns to abhi and demands: why were you so rude to him! it seems like he's an old friend of yours, and you couldn't even spare him a smile?*

*abhi snaps: he's my ex*

*pragya asks in confusion: your ex-what?*

*abhi rolls his eyes and says: haaaye chashmish sometimes i forget how conventional you are. he's my ex-boyfriend.*

*pragya bristles at being called conventional, even though she is. then she realizes what he's just said, and what it means about his...preferences. and she's surprised because she's never thought about that possibility. but then she looks him over and realizes she shouldn't be surprised. and she's definitely not going to give him the satisfaction of playing outraged conventional wife!*

*pragya scolds: so? that doesn't mean you should be so rude to him! he was being polite, you could be polite too.*

*abhi is surprised that this is what she has to say, but he's also annoyed about being scolded. abhi insists: he was NOT being polite! i know you're too naive to understand this chashmish, but he was propositioning us.*

*pragya: what? he was just greeting us. oh wait you mean - when he said, "later"?*

*abhi: yes.*

*pragya is blushing...but also thinking about the whole scenario...and without even realizing it she says: well that could be fun...*

*abhi: WHAT*

*pragya: what what?*

*abhi: chashmish are you thinking - stop! stop thinking about him right now!*

*pragya: why? you would be there too naa?*

*pragya bites her lip and meets his eyes...she's not serious but at the same time the idea intrigues her, and she's enjoying his mixed up reaction*

*abhi: no! no way, never, not even for a minute, do you understand? no third parties. ever. ever!*

*pragya rolls her eyes: ok, whatever rockstar. gosh, you'd think you'd like the idea, since your taste is so comprehensive? or is it just because it'd be me?*

*abhi: of course because it's you! you're my wife!*

*pragya: and?*

*abhi: and i won't share you!*

*pragya: that's...almost flattering. but utterly unfair, since i have to share you with tanu. and i don't know why we're even talking about sharing, as if we have a physical relationship to begin with.*

*abhi is overwhelmed by this conversation and can't handle any more of this discussion for now*

*abhi declares: just finish eating, chashmish!*

*pragya pouts but goes back to her food*

*abhi's mind is awhirl...he knows gaurav was just teasing, but chashmish actually seems to take the idea seriously? that is very worrying but also kind of hot? who knows what other ideas this inscrutable chashmish might enjoy? maybe he should stop wasting his time with tanu and start getting to know his wife better...because right, of course, he can't share what he's never had...*

THE EXPLANATION*abhigya have confessed their love for each other*

*abhigya have finally had their suhaag raat*

*and abhi should be very tired because haaye, it takes a lot of energy to keep up with his chashmish*

*but still one thing is bothering him...*

*he now has chashmish in his arms, and she says she has him in her heart, but...*

*abhi pulls pragya close to him, so that her back is pressed all along his chest, and her head fits under his chin, and her hair spreads all over his shoulder...*

*he slides his hand up her hip, along her waist, and across her belly, until he has his arm hooked around her*

*she gives a contented, sleepy sigh, and cuddles against him*

*her hand drifts down to meet his, and she locks their fingers together*

*a: chashmish...*

*p: hmm...*

*abhi nuzzles her neck, burying his face in her hair and speaking his next words right against her skin...*

*a: chashmish...that double battery said once that...tumhare dil mein uske liye feelings thi (in your heart you had feelings for him)*

*chashmish goes still and silent suddenly*

*she pulls away from him and his heart leaps into his throat, a terrible feeling of negative anticipation stating to spiral in his gut*

*she turns to face him, but the only light in the room is from nearly-burnt down candles, so he can't quite see her expression*

*she slowly slides one soft, small hand up his massive arm...*

*p: when did he say that?*

*a: that night...when i went to beat him...*

*chashmish snorts...a sound between an annoyed huff and a suppressed laugh*

*p: that suresh naa...always the habit of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time*

*a: what do you mean...*

*p: you were there accusing him of having an affair with me and he had nothing better to say than that i once had feelings for him?*

*abhi feels choked and can barely bite out the next words*

*a: did you?*

*her hand drifts up to his face, and she runs a knuckle along his jaw, and there's a world of affection in that caress, but abhi won't be at ease until he has his answers...*

*he catches her and hand holds it tight, his voice is low and rough as he says again...*

*a: did you?*

*p: dil mein nahin toh sahi...lekin dimaag mein thi. (not in my heart. in my mind)*

*a: what is that supposed to mean?*

*p: i didn't know then...what love meant, what attraction felt like...our families wanted us together, and i wanted...i wanted a happy ending, and i thought it would be with him*

*abhi squeezes her hand, too agitated to think straight...*

*p: i convinced myself that i loved him, that i wanted him...*

*abhi starts telling himself off in his mind, he never wanted to hear this, he shouldn't have asked...*

*p: lekin suniye (but listen), none of it was real, or genuine...i was in love with an idea, a possibility, not a person...*

*abhi grunts a noncommittal noise, not sure what to say...*

*p: i did the same thing with you at first*

*a: what???*

*p: when you saved the hall...it changed how i thought about you, how i felt about you...it showed me that under everything you are a good person, and i started to respect you more, and i thought that was love...*

*abhi remembers how goofy she got after he saved the hall, how she seemed to develop a crush on him, infatuated like his teenaged fans...he hadn't appreciated it then but now he wishes she still got that way around him...well maybe not, it was scary actually, but it would be nice to have some of that silly, easily surprised chashmish back...*

*p: at the time i thought it didn't matter if you'd never love me, that any little scrap of affection from you was more than enough for me, because you deserved the world, you were such a good person...*

*abhi thinks about how that's how he feels about her now, and he feels guilty and ashamed that she could ever have idealised him like that because he didn't deserve it and he knows it*

*p: and when i left you because tanu said she was having your baby i told myself it didn't matter if it hurt me to be away from you, that since i loved you i should be happy if you were happy...*

*abhi recalls that whole mess of lies and confusion and wonders how she could have ever thought he would be happy stuck with tanu in a shotgun marriage...but then again it was exactly what he'd let her think at the time, because he had too many problems to worry about her feelings...and she'd been in love with him even then, oh god*

*p: and then...and then i learned how to live my life without you. and that's when i realized that it wasn't love. that once again i'd manufactured all these feelings in my mind. what i felt for you was...respect, affection, care...exasperated fondness, a special kind of tolerance that came from living together...*

*abhi squeezes her hand compulsively, and he wants to pull her closer and tighter but they're already skin to skin so there's not much closer to get. he realizes that she's explaining that there was a time when they were apart when she'd given up on the idea of them being together, and it hits him that he might have lost her then, and that feels so wrong he almost can't breathe at the thought of it*

*pragya squeezes his hand back, and shifts so that somehow she is indeed closer to him, and he accepts the gesture of reassurance...because they've made it after all, they're here together now, united and satisfied on all levels...

*p: and it wasn't until we had to get back together for daadi...and you started treating me like a person instead of joke or a burden...*

*abhi winces to himself because her words pack a punch, but again he reminds himself that they've made it...and that he has the rest of their lives to make up for ever treating her as anything other than the queen of his heart...*

*p: and we started fighting about real things, important things...about what was best for daadi, about what your family needed, about how you should spend your time...*

*abhi remembers shouting matches and cold silences and delicate, carefully-worded makeups...and how through it all, the hardest time of his life, she was there...and even when they were fighting he knew he could count on her, and that made all the difference...*

*p: and there would be days where i couldn't stand you...where i would hate you for your stubbornness or your blindness about some decision that felt important at the time but would seem silly now...but even on those days my heart would ache for you...*

*abhi is lost in serious thoughts, remembering how most of the time it had been a struggle just to get through each day, because it seemed like there was nothing to look forward to and he'd had to face difficult choice after difficult choice...he'd had no room in his mind or his heart for romance then...but still something had been growing, undercover of all the daily hassles and pains...an attachment, a dependence even, a need to have chashmish in his life, to know that no matter what he'd always come first for her, even if he had no one else in the world...even if he gave her nothing in return, though he'd never quite thought of it like that*

*p: and that's when i knew...that it was different this time. that it was love. because sometimes it felt miserable, but mostly it felt...just...right. not overwhelming and exciting, but just solid and steady and like...the bedrock of my world. and then when you started to trust me...and you started to notice and care if i was wearing myself out...*

*abhi remembers how in the last stretch of daadi's illness, his view of the world had actually opened wider, rather than closing in on itself as it had seemed on track to do. and he did start noticing when chashmish was pushing herself too hard, and he didn't like it...and their shouting matches took on a different tone...and instead of making up with words they would just cuddle at night and fall asleep next to each other, exhausted from emotionally draining days...*

*p: then i realized that you cared about me in a way you hadn't before. and i didn't know if it was love on your side...*

*abhi guesses that maybe it wasn't love quite yet, but it was the start of...something*

*p: well, and then, you know. daadi passed, i tried to leave you, you didn't let me*

*pragya tips her head up to face him and in the dim glow of the last candles abhi can just see that she is smiling her teasing chashmish smile and he wants to smile back but everything they've just discussed feels so heavy...*

*p: so there you are...you're in my heart, and in my mind, and now you've been...in my everywhere...*

*abhi registers her naughty tone and he can't believe she's say something like that but then again it's not the first time she's surprised him tonight, turns out there might be a lot still left to learn about his chashmish, and he likes that...*

*p: well? won't you say anything? you have your answers now, right?*

*abhi: i have to say...you must have been temporarily insane to think you felt anything for that double battery...*

*pragya slaps his arm but she's laughing rather than outraged when she exclaims, "abhi!"*

*abhi: and maybe you're more insane to love me now, after everything...*

*pragya: not after. because of everything...*

*abhi: alright. because of everything. but you're in my heart and my mind too, so we can be insane together, how about that?*

*pragya: that sounds about right.*

*abhi's inner devil gets the better of him and he's sure that he can finally put her to the blush with a last off colour comment so he says "and if you're interested in...my...everywhere, i guess we could talk about that*

*but once again pragya surprises him...she just pats his chest and says sleepily "tomorrow, maybe. let's explore tomorrow"*

*and then he wants to ask her just exactly what she means by explore, but she's dozed off...so he decides that maybe he'll just have to consider whatever she says...because they've agreed to be insane together...and there's nothing he wouldn't do for her...*

*well, probably nothing...!*

DESERT ISLAND KEEPERS

*abhigya on a private jet, headed for a beach honeymoon in the caribbean because daadi insists*

*of course daadi doesn't know that there will be no proper honeymooning, but both plan to enjoy the beach in their own way*

*OH NO CATASTROPHE THE PLANE IS SOMEHOW FAILING*

*abhigya escape in parachutes!!*

*what happens to the pilot? don't worry he's probably fine, but our concern right now is abhigya!!*

*abhigya make a miraculous safe landing on a tiny island in the middle of the sea!*

A: chashmish chashmish are you ok!! did you break your chashma??

P: yes i'm ok, but i think my back will be sore. hey that parachute fall was kind of fun, except for the part where i worried i was about to die.

A: chashmish we are on a deserted island

P: really what was your first clue?

A: well there is a lot of sand -

P: uff!! nevermind that, let's figure out how we're going to get off this island!!

A: don't be crazy chashmish, we can't get off this island, there is only water all around. who knows there might even be sharks.

P: um hello?? we can't live here forever?

A: what forever?! don't worry, my pilot will find us. and if he didn't make it, well someone will notice that abhi the rockstar is missing, and i will be found.

P: you're forgetting that we're supposed to be on honeymoon for three weeks! no one was supposed to disturb us so no one will know we are missing!

A: oh...that could be a problem. ok, here's what we'll do -

P: oh good you have a plan!

A: we need to spell out the letters "SOS" in huge letters in the sand, follow me and we can do this with our feet

P: are you kidding me?!! we need to figure out what we're going to eat and drink and if we can get some sort of shelter and if there are any wild animals to be wary of and you know all kinds of SURVIVAL PROBLEMS

A: oh my god chashmish you worry so much

P: this is not a beach vacation! we are on a deserted island!

A: yes I told you that already

*Pragya considers bashing her head against a nearby tree trunk -- ooh it's a coconut tree!! maybe they can have coconuts? mmm delicious coconut water, fresh inside the shell! but oh no how will they open the coconuts?? it's not like they grabbed a machete with their parachutes :(*

*Pragya pouts*

A: haayyye chashmish what's wrong now??

P: I want coconut water

A: ok so I'll just run to the store - oh wait we are on a deserted island! gosh chashmish how many times are we going to have to go over this? i'm not used to repeating myself with you, you're much faster at understanding stuff than tanu

P: please, no talk of the chudail while i'm suffering from lack of coconut water. also, look, coconuts are right there!!

*Abhi looks up and sees the coconut*

A: bas itne si baat? (oh is that all?)

*Abhi grins and pulls Pragya away from the tree. Before she can get angry at him and ask what he's doing, he starts shaking the tree with his massively powerful arms*

*Two coconuts fall neatly to the ground!*

*Pragya is impressed but she still doesn't see how she's going to get her much desired coconut water so she just folds her arms and scowls at him with one eyebrow raised*

*Abhi's smirk deepens, he's got that "I'm gonna prove my superiority" expression on his face...Pragya hates that expression, she is not secretly turned on by it, she doesn't think it's a little bit adorable, no she straight up hates that expression*

*Abhi carries the coconuts to a big jagged boulder lying on the beach. Then using the magnificent force of his fit body, he smashes the coconuts open against the rock!*

*OK Pragya is impressed...and turned on...but mostly she's just gleeful that she gets her coconut water!! She runs to him and picks up the coconut halves and greedily sips all the fresh nectar she desired*

*Abhi pouts and says "Heyy no fair!! I was thirsty too naa!!*

*Pragya looks up guiltily from the coconuts, her face is all sticky and the last drops of the delicious liquid are clinging to her lips*

P: Err...sorry! But you can just crack more naa?

*Pragya flutters her eyelashes and smiles a big smile, she has learned that he reacts in a very strange but useful way to this - he goes all soft and dopey and starts agreeing with whatever she says!*

A: Yes...I guess so...but at least let me eat the coconut flesh?

*Pragya gladly hands over the coconuts. As Abhi efficiently gets at the fruit with his perfect teeth, Pragya starts to look around. Maybe there are no wild animals around but there doesn't look to be shelter either, how on earth are they going to make it through what will surely be a cold night? No protection from the ocean breezes, hayeee!*

*Pragya is thinking to herself but ends up saying aloud: Uff, if Raghav was here at least I know I'd be warm because he knows how to start fires and build huts. Raghav has full survival skills, I should've gone on those camping trips he invited me to, then I would have survival skills too*

*Abhi tosses away the empty coconut shells and strides up to grab his wandering wife. He says: Oh hello! Anything he can do, I can do better! You want a fire and a hut? By god you'll get a fire and a hut!*

*Pragya rolls her eyes and says: Yeah whatever, I'll believe it when I see it*

*Abhi scowls...but then something occurs to him and he gets that wicked teasing smile that makes Pragya a little bit uncomfortable but creates an interesting sort of thrill in her blood...and his eyes are glinting with tricky thoughts, she can tell he's about to say something outrageous...*

*Abhi grins and slowly runs his palms down her arms as he says: Oh don't worry biwi of mine, I'll show you everything you need...and when it comes to keeping warm, we won't need a fire...*

*Pragya's eyes widen and she sputters: umm what excuse me!! uff I can't believe you, your mind is on that when we don't even know if we're going to survive the next week???*

A: Well I'm beginning to think that maybe there's a reason we ended up stranded here...destiny has a plan for us. We will surely be rescued...but in the mean time maybe we should just count this as our beach honeymoon.

*Pragya knows that the idea is insane, but maybe because she's already in such an impossible situation, she doesn't find it necessary to argue with him. Instead she just licks her lips, raises her eyebrows, and pushes her ridiculous husband in the direction of the jungle. Pragya says: Ok Rockstar we'll see about the honeymoon, but first build me that hut!!*

*Abhi laughs and winks and says: Yes, dear*

*Pragya watches as Abhi goes off to collect leaves and logs and so forth for their hut. She really doesn't know how they're going to get out of this life threatening situation...but maybe they'll make it through, just by taking it one step at a time*


THE END BECAUSE OTHERWISE MINA WILL NEVER STOP SORRY BYE 😳 😆
