[Next Morning]
Arnav had woken up pretty early and was crying for his daily meal at 5 am. Ragini slipped out of bed and quickly nursed him. He seemed to be still sleepy after the feed and within a few minutes he dozed of again for his early morning nap.
Ragini who was all cuddled up next to Anmol and felt his warmth wanted to get it back for a little while longer so she snuggled back as it was a little too early for her to start with the daily chores and it was Christmas Eve and the kids were off from school.
Tucking herself back under the blanket she snuggled close to her handsome husband and closed her eyes to take her back to her sleep.
After a while The sun had risen above the bed of trees to peep through into their room across a half opened window. The rays of the sun fell its warmth on Anmol who was in deep sleep , feeling this warmth he slowly blinked his eyes and opened them. A weight rested on his chest and as he looked down Ragini was still holding on to him, after the small conversation they had last night , her warmth was enduring for him.
Her silky soft hair covered her face which prevented the sun light on her dusky face to disturbed her. Anmol noticed the curls of her hair was so smooth and silky that the soft breeze following the sun's warmth started to tickle her face.
He moved those curls to clear his vision, and she slowly opened her eyes and said "Good Morning",
"Mai Pheley bhi utti thi Arnav nay utta diya lekin he went back to sleep, aur mujhey bhi bahut need aa rahi thi tho mai phir say apkey paas so gaye.."
"Issliye sochu ki koi bahut deer tak so Raha hai ", and he kisses her forehead and pats her cheeks.
The door opens slowly ,and a young girl walks in with her hands folded back followed by a companion.
"Arrey Tammy Khushi thum dono yaha itnee jaldi " comes a chorus from Anmol and Ragini as they sit up positioning against the bed head rest.
Tammy walks to Ragini " Mama yeah aap kay liye " and she gives her a beautiful single rose bright and red and kisses her cheeks.
"Mama Aap jo khahengi mai who Karoongi " and she hugs her.
"Aww Tammy mera baccha , Apko pata hai Mainay aur Apkey papa nay kya socha ?"
"Kya socha mama ??" she looks at Ragini
"Humnay Soch ki hum tho North pole nahi jaa sakthey bahut Sardi hai waha aur mama ko sardi nahi lagni ,iss liye Hum Santa ko Peter Uncle kay yaha meet karenygay !!" smiled Ragini with twinkle in her eyes.
"Saachhii mama, Thank You soo much I love you mama, " Ragini wipes her short tears while nodding her head"Thanks masi ma " cheered Khushi who was holding a tray for their morning tea.
"Wow so we'll go for the party I am so happy papa, " Tammy's eyes brigntened as she looked at Anmol who gave his thumbs up.
Placing the Tea Tray on the side table, "Arrey aab dono nay yeah saab kiya apni mama aur masi ma kay liye " Anmol winked at them
"Ha papa we wanted to make mama happy so Guddi di nay tea banaya aur hum le ayye"
Tammy makes the tea for them with instructions from Ragini who was truly happy by this wonderful gesture of her daughter and felt glad that she is able to see the smile back on her face.
Arnav by then had woken up with all the hush hush in the room and he was cooing away to himself and talking and kicking off the blanket waiting to be picked up.
Tammy and Khushi ran to the crib to play with him and he started giggling with joy.
Ragini keeping her half tea aside was about to get out of bed when Anmol held her hand "Mai dektha hoon , u have your tea", and he walks around the bed to the crib
"Hey jr Good Morning " familiar face and familiar voice attracted him to kick his leg even more and Anmol picked him up and he was over joyed and started playing with Anmol's smooth cheeks and patted it with his chubby hands.
"Papa I want to hold him ", Tammy insisted reaching Arnav with her small jumps.
"Achha Deta hoon just let me settle down on the chair" and he walked towards it and settling down and carefully gave Arnav to Tammy and Khushi also gave her some support by holding his tiny hands.
Arnav was totally enjoying his attention from both his sisters and Ragini was watching his from the bed finishing of her tea.
[Mobile rings]--Basin calling
"Mr. Basin ka call hai , dekha chutti kay din bhi nahi chodthey", a little annoyed she picks up and calls Khushi to give it to Anmol.
"Hello yes Mr. Basin , O Ok thats great tho teek hai aaj 10 baje meeting rakthey hai , phir they can go on their vacation. Its really important we get this tender and that will be my best Christmas gift for the company." hanging up he informs Ragini
"Mujehy kuch deer office jana hai " looking at everyone," aur mai jaldi wapas aoonga aaj Party pay jana hai na "
"I hope so Anmol Tammy ko phir kaun disappoint kareyga ",she asked wickedly
"Na na Tammy I promise I will be back by 4 pm Ok phir hum saab log party pay jayengay , Whats say partner ", he looks at the two princesses who are busy listening to him and playing with Arnav.
Getting up Anmol goes to the washroom to freshen up and get ready meanwhile Ragini sets his clothes ready while Tammy and Khushi leave Arnav in the crib to play by himself and they go down for breakfast.
Anmol gets ready quickly and puts his shoes on and Ragini bring his handkerchief and places it in his pocket and Anmol grabs her closer and whispers "Thanks" softly in her ears.
"Setting his collar right "Kis baat kay liye," she questions
"Well u made our daughter happy and I am also happy aaj tender mil jayega tho we'll have new equipments and Alkeh Bhiyya nay new technology kayley suggest kiya tha so thats going to happen too !!"
"Thats great Anmol I am soo happy for you",she looks into his eyes as he gazes at her beautiful face, and a cry from Arnav …..she releases herself and walk to the crib to pick him up,.
They walked down for breakfast. Ragini quickly makes omelet and cheese toast for Anmol and the kids relish some nice parathas and finish of with fresh fruits.
After a good breakfast all end up in the living room with Arnav enjoying in his playpen. Alkeh and Anmol get ready with their briefcases and Alkeh walks ahead to get the car out while Anmol walking out is stopped by Ragini
"Achha aap jaldi ayyega , Bachhey intezaar karangay ,"moving close to him "Aur tum" he traces her face
Ragini nods her head "hmm",
"And ha who dress aaj kay liye " he reminds her as he walks out, Ragini smiles and waves a good bye to him leaning against the door.
[Later that day ]
"Chalo jaldi say lunch finish karo and go to your room and decide on the dress you will be wearing ", Ragini said clearing up the remaining dishes on the table and Guddi helping her in the kitchen.
"Chachi Aap kuch special pehenay wali ho ??" Gunni came from behind and asked her.
"Well its a surprise apney Chachu ko janthi ho na he will make sure he wants something different. Shayam ko dekho !!"
They sit in the living room for a while, Ragini gets busy arranging all Arnav's toys while she gets a call on her mobile "Hello Ji Ha mai Ragini baat kar raho hoon. Achha aap parsoon ghar pay aa jayeye hum baat karthey hai ".
"Kaun tha mama", asked Tammy sitting on her lap."Beta Nari Niketan say tha, koi."
"Chalo ab tum saab jaldi say tayaar ho jaoo" ,and Tammy Khushi ran upstairs.
Ragini picked up Arnav and asked Guddi to accompany her .
Putting Arnav on the bed she opened the drawer and picked out a cute cream color shirt with a sailor boat on it and maroon trousers
"Wah did itna cute hai Arnav bahut achha dekhey ga "
"So tho hai mera beta tho saab dresses mai cute dektha hai yeah Anmol nay uskay liye kareeda tha jab who 2 hafthey ka tha aur mainay kaha yeah tho bahut bada hai , lekin dektho aab teek hai."
Ragini changes his diaper and puts the new clothes on him. Arnav seems to sense that he is going out somewhere and seems to be really excited with the whole change and is giggling and kicking his legs in excitement.
She gives instructions to guddi to give him his bottle of milk and make him play in the play pen till he feels sleepy,
Guddi takes a well dressed Arnav out of the room while Ragini opens her closet and removes a nice crisp white shirt and an armani suit for Anmol. She placed it on the bed and looked at it thinking about Anmol and his style of dressing which is always so smart and perfect.
She recollected how reluctant she was to wear a gown for the party but Anmol stood by her and told her that she looked beautiful. Thinking about that she went up to the closet and brought a bag out .
Kept it on the side table and removed a beautiful copper color dress/gown from the bag.
[Meanwhile Tammy's room]
Tammy removed a beautiful red dress and matching shoes and Khushi also came there with her dress and they giggled at it as they were so excited to get ready.
"Kya ho raha hai bachha party " , came anmol from behind and held their waist.
"Papa yeah dekho Khushi aur meri dress" "Very pretty, Santa tho tum dono ko dekkar seedey apney sledge mai North pole ki sair(travel) karayega !!"
"Hehehehehe papa thats so funny " , they giggled in their usual way.
"Achha apki mama taiyaar ho gaye ", He inquired.
"Na papa abhi tak nahi hoyee ", "Wow tho teek hai I am saved nahi tho apki mama na muj pay gussa karthei"
"Chalo thum log tayaar ho jaoo , Mai bhi tayaar ho jatha ho ", He taps on their head and talks out.
[Meanwhile in Ragini and Anmol's room]
Placing it on herself she looked at the mirror, "Am I actually going to wear this, Pheley baar I'll wear a gown lekin I think Anmol nay sahi kaha everything has its first time"
Turning around she took it to the dressing room
Anmol noticed the door closed and he just knocked but it self opened and he walked in closing it and kept his bag aside and noticed an armani suit on the bed placed perfectly.
A smile ran across his face. He noticed the crib empty "Arnav kaha gaya shyad with Ragini ya Guddi"
Wow Ragini's choice seems perfect. It was an olive green or maybe dark greenish black Armaani suit with beige cufflinks.
Meanwhile Ragini in the dressing room quickly undressed herself and pushed herself in the gown and came out in a jiffy almost loosing her balance.
"This dress is so tight..uff I cant breathe and abhi zip lagi bhi nahi." struggling her way to the dressing table, she tried to bend down to pick up earrings from dresser …."ouch" ..
Anmol noticed her state and at once knew something was wrong but he didn't want to do anything as she seemed quite annoyed and was just enjoying observing her try..
"Yeh kya I cant bend down, has this dress shrunk or store packed wrong size…"
Ragini was struggling with the gown and getting frustrated…"And now this zip.."
Door was banging .."Mama Mujhe aapko dekhan hai tyaar hue hue…"
"Tammana wait I have to get ready " she yelled
Anmol kept looking at her she was totally fuming and struggling with the gown and defiantly
needed help
"Areyy…….",came a shriek of laughter.
"Kya kar rahey ho …look at my dress ,"she turned to show him,gesturing at the dress,"It seem like shrunk down or something."
Anmol was trying to stop his laughter….
"I am not wearing this ",she said frustrated, beads of perspiration were coming on her forehead..
"Calm down Ragini", he soothed her with his soothing voice ….
As he walked closed to her she was getting still annoyed ready to rip off the dress
He bent down as she kept looking at him and pulled the fabric bit down as it was tucked up and causing it to look tight..
The gown fell in its place leaving Ragini with a soothing sensation of soft material…relaxing her and suddenly changing the atmosphere in the room..
Anmol stood up and looked at her through the mirror and their eyes met…..even the reflections were doing magic..
Suddenly she turned ,and tried to close the zipper.., but it was again a good struggle for her.
Suddenly she felt a soft gentle hands covered her hands and she looked up and saw Anmol's refection starting at her,the feelings in those eyes were unreadable,yet she was forgetting everything.
He moved closer and held her gently by her shoulders….sliding down her bare arms ,in the process making her hands stay where they were ..
"Let me", he said…
And gently brought his hands back up those bare arms….while snuggling closer…his fingers were playing their part on the soft crushed silk gown and moving finally he gently pulled the zipper close and his hands lingered for a bit longer as if they did not want to loose the magic…
The sensation of his touch were giving her those beautiful shivers she always felt.
Suddenly she could bear it no more and turned and saw stunned Anmol looking at her
"Kya kar rahey ho aap, Abhi Tammy yaha akey gaye humey tayaar hona hai !!"
"Darwaza tho band tha " he added in is usual soft tone.
Still in control of her gaze he whispered "U look like princess sweet heart..!!"
"Aap bhi na", she blushed like a beet very noticeable, and he took the earrings laying on dresser..
She had dropped them in careless heap earlier in frustration..and very gently put those earrings in her ears on each ear…..still keeping his eyes in contact with hers.
and then say he softly said," Don't go"
A wondered look changed her expression and Anmol walked to the closet and came out with a small bag placed it on the table.
"Ragini apney ankey band karo ", he requested her.
"Lekin kyun?",
"Band karo plz!!" and she closed her eyes.
He lifts her hair up and bundles it with a claw clip from the dressing table. Her expression still as confusing as she started wondering what was he doing.
He then removed a beautiful red case and opened it.
There it was a beautiful ruby studded elegant necklace.
Removing it carefully, making sure the locks are held on his finger tips and placed it across her neck, "Akhey kolo Ragini," as she opened she was stunned to see the necklace matching her earring and the gown. They all just matched beautifully.
"Anmol aap yeah kab laye?" "Baas jab mainey yeah gown dekha " "Yani"
"Shhh" he places his finger on her lips, bends kissed her on her nape gently.
It was electrifying for her to feel his sensation on one of her most sensitive side.
"Thanks" she acknowledge softly turning around and putting her hands around his neck while his automatically held her waist.
She looked stunning in the gown and matching earring set. He kept gazing at her , but did'nt last long as..
Knock on the door disturb their concentration.
"Maamma Ho gaya kya ???" , Tammy kept screaming from outside
"Ha haa atti hoon ", Ragini slowly walks to open the door.
"Wow mama you looks so beautiful , Aap tho Queen lag rahi hoo ", Ragini beads to take a kiss from Tammy.
"Papa hai na " she walks in with Ragini and stands next to both of them.
"Yes my princess Aab tho mujehy dou dou princesses kay saat mai party pay jaoonga" holding Ragini close to him he pulled Tammy also.
"Lekin papa aap tho dress bhi naye hoyee!!" looking at Anmol still in his work attire.
"Jayeyay aur jaldi tayaar ho jaye ye " and she pushes him in the washroom with his clothes.
"Mama aap bahut beautiful dikh rahi ho !! " as she looks at herself in the mirror doing the remaining touch up for her face and putting on a nice burgundy lipstick.
"Achha jaoo ask Guddi to bring Arnav", and she send her off the room
"What footwear shall I wear?" she keeps thinking as all that she has were slippers which went well with her sarees.
Anmol came out wearing his beige shirt and trousers.
He picked up his coat and was about to wear it on when he noticed Ragini sitting on the bed
"Ragini what happened??" he came briskly towards her and bend down on his knees.
"Dekhiya na Anmol I have no shoes to go with my dress "Showing her bare feet
"O yes I guess we should have bought a matching shoes haina", "Aap mera mazaak uda rahey ho na " she folded her hands
"Na never sweetheart I guess necklace kay saat jhoothey bhi muhey kareedney thay " "Anmol " she hits him with a pillow, "Mera mazzak!!" they end with a smile to turn around at a crowd barging
"Mama dekho Arnav itna cute dik raha hai ", she put a small hat for him from one of her doll costume.
"Hey prince you look really handsome", Anmol picked him form Guddi.
"Wow chachi you look really pretty ," came a compliment from Gunni ,"Aur apka hairstyle bahut achha hai kisnay kiya ??"
"Who mera style hai apki chachi ko thoda change laney kay liye ", interrupted Anmol
"Wow chachu chachi tho bilkul ", Anmol joined her "meray story ki heroine jasi lagthi hai "
Ragini gave Gunni a prick on her arm
"Ouch Chachi ", came a cry from gunni.
"Lekin ek problem hai meray jhoothey " Ragini showed Gunni her foot
"Don't worry Chachi you can wear my stilettos" , and she runs out to fetch them and comes back in a couple of minutes with two pairs of shoes.
"Yeah wali tho bahut heels hai " Ragini nodded
" Ragini I think you should wear this one and he points to the brown ones ,they match with your dress."
Gunni places them down and Ragini slips her feet in it.
They were very comfortable and Anmol couldn't get his eyes off her beautiful face and the gown she wore. She truly seemed like a Queen / Princess to him and the girls clapped in excitement.
"Chalo saab nechay jaoo ", Anmol pushed them, Arnav was fresh too as he had a short nap a while ago he left with Guddi.
Anmol went to the dresser to brush his hair as it was well shampooed ,
Then he walked to Ragini holding around her waist " Lets go beautiful " he walks her out of the room.
