Part#25
There are lots of fantasies connected with this first night and stuff... like all of a sudden one expects partner to get all romantic and do things which usually they don't... like few stolen kisses here and there.. Passing secret smiles... or at least a few sweet nothing's..Of course she expected her husband would also... well not all but at least something...
With the warmth on the early sun she woke up asusual... with the little ache in her body she was reminded of the past night... the shy smile which was forming on her beautiful face remembering last night slowly got replaced with a frown on not finding him anywhere in the room... she quickly checked the watch if she overslept but that wasn't the case...
Getting fresh she rushed down to the kitchen to see if he was down waiting for the breakfast... maybe he has got some work early... he might be waiting... but to her disappoint he wasn't there too... on stepping into the kitchen she spotted meera ...
Bhabi... you woke up!.. finally!!... Bhai left with empty stomach today... thank god atleast I gave him his coffee... anyway bhabi enjoy ur breakfast!
She walked away picking up her mobile from the table... completely ignoring her presence... what's wrong with this meera... last night she was so desperate to talk to me n now... strange girl!!
After completing her daily chores she sat in front of her laptop trying to absorb the sudden change in her life... she didn't know wether it was anxiety or nervousness that she felt a shiver run down her spine with the look her MIL gave her... Her in-laws returned in the morning n meera was about to leave in the evening... there was an odd silence around the house... which was never there in the past month she has been here..
Maan left early in the morning to pick them up from the station... which i understood when i saw his jeep leave after dropping them back... he could have informd me though... i thought frowning... dadi didn't return as she wanted to stay for a week more... n maa... hmm maybe she was still angry with her leaving in her absence... placing the laptop back on the table she felt she should apologise n let her know her situation... maybe then... twisting her dupatta almost tearing it she wasn't able to calm herself
In situations like these one feels a bad vibes... like something bad is going to happen... feeling uneasy... suffocating sitting in a wide open balcony... n wanting to drink more n more of water...
This is the reason i was saying that we would ask maan to meet mishraji's daughter too... but no no one ever listens to me...
Shhh... y are u yelling so much... please calm down someone might hear u ... what will they think...
Who will listen...Hmmm n even if they listen what wrong am i talking... u will always be busy in ur Panchayat n work... n maa in her own world ... I'm the only one thinking about my son... n i have the right to be worried alright... she slumped on the chair opposite to the table sitting across papa wiping her tears which were continually poring
Standing outside the door she was trying to control the urge to step into the room n question maa... what wrong did she do.. Wasn't she good enough for maan... Suppressing her sob with her hands she moved away from there
We'll send her off to her mother's place...
WHAT!! Stop this nonsense... u are doing no such thing n one more thing ur son is married n is very much capable of dealing with his life... i don't want u to interfere in his martial life...
I'm not interfering... y don't u understand... this will just give them some time...
Enough... now listen to me carefully geet is ur daughter in-law n maans wife... whether she accepts this marriage or is maan happy with her is for them to decide n for now i want to talk to geet ask her to come...
The argument was so loud that she could even hear after moving to the kitchen... she thanked her stars that the maid just left before an hour for the market n there wasn't anyone witnessing the sourness which was slowly filling up in her family... wiping her tears... she gulped down a glass of water... composing herself... but maa didn't bother looking at her instead she walked straight into her room n shut the door with a bang!!
She quietly stepped onto the study knocking the door... while papa sat there lost in his thoughts... blank...
Papa... she said meekly trying to sound as low as Possible... fearing to meet his eyes... not willing to listen something she didn't want to
Huh... oh geet beta... come sit...
Ji... she sat at the edge of the chair clutching her duppata in a tight grip as if trying to gain courage ready to take the worst... still looking down...
Geet I was thinking about ur higher studies beta...
Her eyes flew open towards papa who was still lost somewhere n talking to her...
Stand with me through stroms my dream... I'm still ur delicate darling!!
