For you sunyy... And for me😆
Chapter 9
Kalpi looks at Ragav as he fills her maang, her heart whispering, I love you... I love you... I love you...
Ragav fills Kalpi's maang... Satisfaction and relief pour into him... His heart thinking... Mine... You are safe...
The married couple look around awkwardly... Both hesitant... Not sure what to do. The priest says, "take the blessings of your elders." Ragav looks at his mum and Kamla sheepishly, thinking, "damn. I need to stop being nervous."
seeing the bridal decoration in the bedroom... Kalpi hesitates to enter. She takes a deep breath and walks in wondering why the bedroom is decorated. She turns to the entrance, only to see Ragav walk in. Her heart skips a beat... She says in a small voice, "I thought we would have separate bedrooms." Ragav frowns, says, "elaborate." Nervous, Kalpi continues, "our marriage is not real... I mean it is a marriage of convenience." She stops... Hoping that it would be enough to explain her point.
Ragav smiles and says reassuringly, "Kalpi our marriage may be a marriage of convenience, but it is very real. One of my duties as your husband is... " "omg, he is going to say sex," Kalpi thinks. Ragav continues, Kalpi's thoughts unknown to him, "... To protect you. Should we sleep in separate bedrooms the staff will talk... Soon people will talk..." Kalpi interrupts, "true. There is already a lot of talk." She smiles weakly, adding, "why give more fodder to gossip."
Kalpi looks around the bedroom and says, "this is not your room." Ragav understanding the point she is raising, answers, "if is now," then adds softly, "I didn't think we would be comfortable..." Leaving the rest unsaid. Kalpi smiles and says, "good. I don't want anything to change so that when Pakhi comes back..." Ragav wants to shake her and yell, "Pakhi is not coming back." Instead he gives her a halfhearted smiles and says, "of course."
Suddenly feeling shy, Kalpi whispers, "I am going to change." And rushes into the bathroom before Ragav can comment. In her haste she forgot her nightdress, which she only realises after stripping off to her undies. She bursts out laughing, thinking, "shit what am I going to do now. Nice start."
Ragav looks at her... His heart racing... His fantasy coming true... Kalpi dressed in nothing but his shirt... He laughs nervously to mask the sexual tension emanating from him as his mind replays his fantasy... Of him yanking the shirt collar to bring her closer... Of him staring into her eyes, drowning in her passion as he in buttons button after button... Of him sitting on a chair, pulling her to him so that she sits on his lap astride... Her nakedness teasing him as she is partly covered by his unbuttoned shirt... Of her laughing uncontrollably... Huh... What... Wait a minute... His mind calls out... That is not part of my fantasy.
Her laughter... Breaking his fantasy... Brining him back to realty... As she sheepishly says, "I forgot to take my nightdress with me... And I was not looking forward to wearing the sari again. I hope you don't mind." Clearing his throat, Ragav replies, "no of course not. what I mind is that I don't look half as sexy in my shirt as you do." He ends up teasing. Flushing, not knowing how to respond to his teasing. Kalpi decides to ignore it And heads back to the bathroom with her nightdress, Kalpi pauses, turns and asks, "what side of the bed do you like?" His heart whispers, "any side as long as you are in it." He shrugs and says, "I am not fussed. Any will do."
That night Ragav stayed up into the night. His heart wanting constant reassurance that this was not a dream... That Kalpi indeed lay fast asleep by his side. He wished he could hold her, but did not dare... For he was satisfied with being near her. Falling asleep, he mumbles, "I love you."
