Final part - Thank you every one for being a part of this journey!
Happiness?Raman went to bed thinking of his sisters face. He did not know what transpired between Simmi and Ashwin he just let it be. There was so much that had happened in the day and all he wanted to to settle down with his wife. Play with her fingers lean on her chest, rub her back and get to sleep.
By the time Ishita reached , showered and settled Raman was on his tummy snoring. She let out a disappointed sigh. Rubbed some lotion on her arms tied up her hair and plopped her pillows. She wanted him to wake up and look at her. She cleared her throat, moaned a little dropped her alarm clock, all Raman did was smile into his pillow. He wanted her to do more..grab him?
Ishita tried to sleep without ruining it for Raman but she could not let go of the feel of his toasty skin on her cheek and his arm around her middle. She needed that. She crawled slowly to the other side of the bed so she could see his face..let herself down into the wedge between his face and his arm and snuggled in. What could a man do but eat her lips after that. He smiled, chewed her lips, played with her fingers while he spoke to her about the day, lay on her chest after more gymnastics on the bed and he had to silence his moaning wife with a big smile. Rubbed her back indulgently and her heard moan a little more and slept with his wife overlaid on him.
Simmi talked to her parents told them about wanting to go with Ashwin wherever he moved to only because she wanted to marry him but only for a change of scene. She insisted that would not marry now and wanted sometime to herself decide what she would do with her life before even was wiling to then of settling down.
She did not want to visit any chacha or bua she was adamant. She managed to snare Mihika to go with her for 3 weeks and Ashwin bachelor pad in his Srinagar camp was littered 3 girls of differing ages and relationships. His co workers were thrilled. Simmi and Mihika were this chai roti, dhal and chicken dhabba that operated from home. Ashwin never knew he had so many mates in the bachelor pad which very rarely had families visiting them even more rarely girls visiting them!
The girls went off on treks, made a lot of friends and returned to Mayur Vihar promising to get back soon. Little Annanya kissed the phone multiple times when she missed Ashwin. Simmi did too. She decided they would be a family as soon as Ashwin can make it back in town.
Her family was thrilled. They had another reason for celebration Shagun had left the country and the children's life forever and the Bhallas were now preparing to welcome another grandchild in the family!
