"I don't know...", He said. Manu eventually gave up and plopped down on the bed. Rajveer was still staring at her unabashedly. Finally, he walked over to his closet and took out a t-shirt and sweatpants. Manu looked at him with confusion. Hadn't he already changed? "This is for you, wear it or toss it I don't care", Rajveer said as he placed his clothes on the bed. Rajveer was hoping that Manu would wear his clothes, the image of her in his clothes made him feel like she was his. Who was he kidding, she already was his and now that they were married nothing would stop her from being his forever.
Manu on the other hand was battling with herself as she weighed the pros and cons of wearing Rajveer's clothes. Evidently, the wedding saree was far too uncomfortable for her to sleep in and she had no other options. Being so late, she didn't want to rouse the other family members and servants to go on a mad hunt for her suitcase. The worst thing that would happen would be that Rajveer would tease her for wearing men's clothing. At that thought Manu made up her mind, Rajveer had already seen her at her "worst", while completely dressed as a man. There was no wear that this was any different from before. She unwaveringly went into the bathroom and changed. She missed the look of victory that Rajveer sported on his face.
After a few minutes Manu came out of the bathroom to see Rajveer dozing off on the sofa. His long legs were dangling off to the side and he was lying down over the blanket. She shook her head when she saw him shivering. Yeh ladka bhi na, koi blanket ke upar sota hain kya? She walked over to his side and grabbed the blanket from under him with a strong tug. That did nothing as Rajveer moved over the blanket even more. Manu tried to place her hands under his arm to grab it when suddenly Rajveer grabbed her and she fell on top of him with a thud. Manu was about to unleash her fury when she saw that he was still sleepy. Softly she tried to remove his hands which rested on the small of her back. After a few minutes of failed attempts, she eventually gave up and laid her head on his shoulder. Before she knew it, she was asleep.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rajveer was having a very good dream. In his dream, Manu was lying down on top of him and unabashedly holding him. The loud ringing of his alarm woke him up and he tried to get up to turn it off. Instead he found himself held down by something. He opened his eyes to find Manu resting her head on his shoulder, which definitely had a crick in it now, with her arms wrapped around his waist. She was wearing the clothes he gave her last night and clearly they were many sizes too large for her slender frame. She was sound asleep and nuzzling his shoulder. Raj slowly tried to move his shoulder from under her when she woke up. She blinked her eyes in a daze and stared up at Raj. After a few seconds her face grew panicked and she shrieked "TUM!". Raj tried to calm her down but Manu struggled to move off of him only to fall off of the sofa.
Raj couldn't help but burst out in laughter. He clutched his stomach in pain as Manu's face grew red. "Stop laughing Raj! This isn't funny at all!", Manu said as she tried to regain her bearings. Standing up with her hands on her hips she waited for him to calm down. After laughing for a bit longer Raj finally calmed down enough to stare at his angry wife. Her slender frame was drowning in his clothes. Manu had rolled up the waistband of his sweatpants and his t-shirt had slid over her shoulder. She noticed his stare and said, "Ok fine, now laugh at how ridiculous I look". Raj grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Placing her hands on his shoulder Raj said, "Yes you look absolutely ridiculous". He then angled his face closer to hers and placed a kiss on her cheek before she could protest. Two sharp knocks on the door interrupted the couple. Manu tried to get up but Raj held her still with a hand on the small of her back. Manu jabbed him in the stomach with her elbow and he released her. She smirked as she got up to open the door. She let out a small gasp of surprise when she saw who was at the door. Fixing her clothing she opened the door wide and Nihal walked in.
