The morning sun rays bless Thakur Niwaas with its natural and pure light. Another day was welcomed by Pratigya who completed her Aarti and placed a fresh garland over a photo on the wall. She stood with tears in her eyes reminiscing momentarily at the life of the deceased in the photo. She seeked Amma's blessing, Amma smiled back at her from the golden picture frame, as though she was fully content at her daughter in laws gesture.
Pratigya made her way to awake krishna who was possibly sleeping in a hypnotic like state. She dived into the room ready to pounce on a sleeping Krishna, But was shocked to find the bed empty. She looked behind the door incase Krishna who was inclined to pouncing behind Pratigya was back to his old tricks again... But there was not a shadow of a sign of him there either. The water in the shower gushed out and 'the missing' Krishna had been located. But pratigya didn't believe in miracles, because it was hard work that brought miracles she believed. To satisfy her growing suspision she pushed the bathroom door open. She stood in the doorway that was now fully ajar revealing all the glory that bathed under the shower. "Arrey eyy BABU!!!!, Niklo yahan se yaar", was the first welcoming words out of his mouth this morning. Pratigya giggled and turned on her heal, and left but not a second before turning back to steal another glance inside.
Krishna walked out of the shower covering himself in a towel, despite the object of the towel had already been defeated by an inquisitive Pratigya earlier. Handing over Krishna's 'todays' attire she tried to remind him what day it was.. But before her lips parted to speak his hands covered them. "Humka yaad hai, Today is your birthday. How can I forget? Had you seriously been expecting me to be snoozing the day away in dreamland". Pratigya tentatively removed Krishna's hand away from her mouth and smiled, drawing close to him she raised her face near his and gingerly placed a peck on his jaw, causing his jaw bone to twitch out of pleasant shock. Unknowingly Pratigya has given ammunition to Krishna's sensual side, who was certainly going to make the most of Pratigya's grand gesture. He pulled her close lifting a wriggling Pratigya into his arms. Pratigya squealed..."Krishna chodo humein, I have so much work to do, this is not the time.. please put me down.." as she squirmed in his arms raising his passion up a bar. "Krishna I know of ways to stop you!"... Pratigya tried to scare him. But her ecstacy filled voice sounded like a plea instead. Krishna looked into her eyes challengingly then placed a peck on her neck. Pratigya took matters in her own hands and tuggued at the towel and squirmed vigorously in his arms. Baba was caught off guard, the result... the towel drops..!
