4. When Egoistic Aham Modi Needed His Wife (I)
It was time for Aham's medicine. Taking small steps, Gopi entered her room and looked at her magnificent Ahamji sprawled on the bed. Aham heard the soft twinkling sounds of her payals and turned his head to look at her. His neck hurt but he needed to look at her. Their eyes met. He saw the pain in her eyes and her unshed tears. Gopi lowered her gaze and walked towards him, her Maaji's encouraging words playing in her mind giving her strength. Aham just continued looking at her. Gopi took out the bag which he had packed in the hospital and started taking out the required medicines without even glancing at Aham briefly.
As for Aham, he was feeling really uncomfortable in the shirt. It was like wearing 10 layers of clothing with the bandages and all. He tried unbottoning himself but as soon as he moved his hand, his shoulder hurt and he hissed in pain causing Gopi to rush to his side.
She asked him timidly,"Ahamji, aapko kuch chahiye? (Ahamji, you want something?)"
After glancing at his wife for a moment, an awkward Aham said,"Ji woh Mom se keh dun ga. Wo kaha hai? (Um ya, i will tell Mom. Where is she?)" but regretted it the moment he saw that Gopi was hurt and desperately thought of ways to mend his silly mistake.
As for Gopi, she was hurt that even in this state he asked for his Mom but she was also in a dillema as Kokila had especially stressed on the fact that Gopi was suppose to take care of Aham and not to call her if he needed anything.
But she was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Aham say,"Mom busy hogi, koi baat nahi (Mom must be busy, its okay),"
Again Kokila's voice echoed in her mind. This time it was about being more confident and making Aham ask her for assisstance.
Gopi build up her courage and looked at her husband, she said,"Ji aap mujhe bata dijiye, aap ko kya zarrorat hai (Umm you tell me what do you need),"
Aham looked at her a little surprised but soon recovered and asked her awkwardly to unbutton his shirt as he was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Aham saw that his wife's eyes had widened a little at his request and realised that she was really very bashful. She obliged and came near him slowly. Aham looked away when Gopi raised her hands to his top button. Gopi looked at Aham through his eyelids and pursed her lips as she tried to stop herself from trembling. Nevertheless, her hands were visibly shaking as she tried her best to unbutton the first button. Aham noticed that she was taking a lot of time and looked at her to see a prominent blush on her cheeks and her small trembling hands. He didn't know he had that much of an effect on her. It made him feel good, like he was the most attractive creature on Earth. He just sat there patiently waiting for his shirt to be unbuttoned, enjoying his wife's nervousness while an extremely nervous Gopi tried her best to compose herself.
As Gopi unbuttoned his top button she looked enchanted by Aham's Adam's apple the newly grown stuble on his chin and half way down his neck. The look suited him. Then the second button came undone and more of Aham's rigid chest was exposed to Gopi for her to silently drool over. She could see the thin strands of chest hair which she just wanted to run her hands over. She went on to undo the third button, exposing his dark nipple and looked away in embarrassment. Then she worked on the fourth button and almost clucked loudly in disappointment when instead of skin, she found herself staring at bandages.
As for Aham, his bad mood was evaporating as he studied his wife's expression from the moment she started unbuttoning his shirt, he saw that his wife's expression had changed from wonder to awe to embarrassement and then to disappointment. This made him look down to see what has caused his wife so much disappointment and almost smiled in amusement when he found her frowning slightly at the bandages. But he still could not figure out exactly why she was unhappy with the bandages. Was it because it was causing him pain? Or was it because it prevented her from looking at his body? Either ways, he was loving all thos attention and her nervousness. So, being like this had its benefits as well!
Gopi had finally managed to successfully unbutton her Ahamji's shirt despite her pounding heartbeats and shaking hands. The close up image of her Ahamji's chest was embedded into her mind. Now she had to resist the temptation of looking at her Ahamji on the bed with his shirt unbuttoned. It was torturous. Very torturous. Now she couldn't wait for dressing time as she wanted to be close to him again.
Surprisingly, Aham too was waiting for his dressing time. He would love to have a drooling and nervous Gopi anytime!
Aham needs his wife and he will need her more and more in time to come. Hope you like this part of the fourth chapter. I know i have been very irregular with the updates, college is tough. My apologies. But please do continue reading and encouraging me! Love you all! Muah!
