This is going to be a random drabble... and my first drabble at that
It's going to speak about a man's true love, his obsession on his love and his care and over possessiveness on his love....
Raghav Rao
A stylish and handsome businessman...
He is a loving and caring husband, who is in love with his wife Pallavi....
Pallavi Raghav Rao
A stylish, modern , young wife of Raghav...
She is very bold and independent... and loves her husband Raghav madly…
So here it goes:
Pallavi and Raghav have been in love since their college days... their relationship is wholeheartedly accepted by their parents and they got married very happily....
They are living a very happy and blissful, romantic life...
Raghav is a businessman and he often goes out of town, as his work demands...
Pallavi is a very understanding wife and she never argues with Raghav about that…
One day…
Raghav returns home, after a week's business trip... he rushes to see his wife and wants to give her a surprise..
He didn't inform about his arrival as he wanted to see her reaction...
He rings the bell for more than 15 minutes...
As no one opens the door, he opens the house with his spare key... he gets inside and freshens up and settles in the living room...
He thought that his wife would have gone shopping or her saree shop... hence waits for her to come...
But as time passes...
It's been five hours since Raghav has come home... but there is not a single sight of Pallavi…
Raghav calls Pallavi but her number is not reachable. He calls Krishna and enquires about her and where she could have been--but Krishna says she hasn’t been in the shop today and has no idea where she is as both Nikhil and Aai are in the shop.
Raghav calls Pallavi again but her number is still not reachable...
He tries continuously but after 15 mins... and after more than 1000 calls, the call gets connected...
Raghav is about to yell but the sad voice of his wife makes him panic....
Raghav: Jaan... What happened??? Why do you sound so low???? Where are you now???
I have returned and am waiting for you in our home for more than five hours... Tell me where have you gone??
Pallavi: You came... Wait for sometime.. I will come soon...
Raghav: Tell me, what happened??? Why is your mobile not reachable for a long time????? I am so worried...
Pallavi: Sorry, Raghav... I was in hospital at that time...
Raghav: Whaaattt?????
Pallavi: Raghav.... Don't panic, okay.... It's an accident.....
Raghav: Accident... How did it happen????
Pallavi: I came out to buy something for you.... Accident happened... Will explain to you, after I reach home...
Raghav: God... How can you be so careless, Pallu.... Wait there... Tell me where you are??? I will come and pick you up...
Pallavi: No need, Raghav... I've started already.... Wait for sometime.... I will come soon…
Raghav: How will you come???
Pallavi: Don't worry.... I have come in your favourite car... I'm returning now and will reach in 10 minutes...
Raghav gasps and desperately wants to know how the accident has been caused... He is worried a lot...
He wants to know whether it is a minor accident or a serious one... He wants to see his love, without any scratches...
Raghav runs way too quickly, when he hears the horn sound....
Pallavi rings the bell...
She smiles when she sees her husband...
Pallavi's forehead and her left hand is covered with bandages.... she is not deeply hurt, but she has got pain and has been injected and kept under observation for more than two hours...
She wants her husband to comfort her, with his soothing words.... She wants to console him, not to make him panic by seeing her hurt forehead and hand....
But....
Raghav runs out hurriedly without looking at Pallavi....
He rushes and kisses his car with lots of love...
He checks each and every corner of his car.... he checks the glasses, doors, seats, dashboard, lights and he kisses and hugs his car happily...
Raghav: Oh my baby... You are safe and sound... I panicked when Pallavi told me about the accident...I prayed to god that you should not have gotten hurt... I'm happy now, as you are scratch free.... Be careful, baby....
Still hugging his car he said: Pallavi, dont touch my baby.... You told me about an accident na... But my baby is very safe... What happened actually????
Raghav turns and sees his wife fuming in anger.... She is looking like an atom bomb, which will blast any time...
Raghav: Pallluuuu.... You told me about the car accident... But only you are hurt... What happened ??? Why are you bandaged...
Pallavi yells: Idiot... I told its an accident... I got hurted as a car unknowingly hit me, when I came out from the mall...
Raghav: ohhhhh... That's it...
Pallavi: I'm hurt and I'm suffering in pain... But you, dumb ass ... Idiot and stupid hubby of me, is completely obsessed with your good for nothing baby....Without consoling and comforting me, you are hugging and kissing your car....Be there.... Hug, kiss and sleep with your car.... Never dare to come before me....
She yells and bangs the door hard and goes inside…
Raghav panics, but he composed himself... He knows it's going to be tough to convince Pallavi ..
But he is very happy that his obsession, his love, his baby - his favourite car is safe and sound without any scratches…
This is just a funny thought and don't mistake me, if it hurts anyone....
Your suggestions and criticisms are most welcome....and do comment
Today only I saw one of the cars in my neighbourhood covered with scratches and mud hence this drabble
