Chapter 3

The First Conversation

Arnav Singh Raizada saw his wife bolt into the bathroom, wondering if she would have done the same if he had given the option of the front door instead of the bathroom. He went to his cupboard to get a change of clothes for himself.

From now on I would be sharing my cupboard with her. Well not only this but my room, my bed, my house and my LIFE.'

Arnav sighed and remembered the day when he first saw her snap. That day he had lost his mind, body n soul to this crazy gorgeous girl, who is his wife now. She had hazel eyes with long dark eye lashes, a button nose, plump lips and a milky white complexion.

Coz of Naniji's health issue they conducted the wedding as soon as possible "a chat mangni and pat bihah". The Engagement happened just the previous day of the marriage and since mehendi was also the same day the two families, just had the exchange of rings and lunch, and left for the preparations of next day. This left Arnav totally frustrated as he could not even talk to his fianc. The same mood followed next day too until the baraat reached the wedding venue.

When he had held her palm in his he was electrocuted. He wished he could have kissed it then.

Why am I behaving like a teenager? Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't behave like a love sick puppy.

He opened his laptop to check incase Aman had emailed anything important. All the while his eyes were on the screen but his ears were concentrating on the jingling of his bride's bangles and the tinkling of her payals. He so wanted to play with them. He closed his eyes for a moment to recall her image in those red and white bangles and the yellow silk saree with red border. He himself had got the designing done on it.

I wish I could have unwrapped her in that. Wow, easy there tiger.'

Then he looked at the bathroom door wondering what is taking her so long. Then he heard the payal tinkles nearing the door and retreating back. This happened thrice. It took a minute for him to realize that she must not have taken her night clothes with her. He hesitated, if he should help her out or should wait for her to ask. But the repeated retracting steps and the image of her bolting into the bathroom, made him do what he did next.

'I heard the shower stop, so...ummm...you can use my bathrobe that's in the cupboard, just outside the cubicle.'

Khushi thanked her stars for her husband's presence of mind.

Hesitatingly Khushi opened the bathroom door and peeped outside to find her husband watching her bemusedly.

'Does she know how delectable she is looking right now with those big round eyes and flushed face.' Thought Arnav.

'Ab aap ja sakte hain.' She said her first words to him.

'hmmm.'

But no one moved. Both staring at each other intensely.

She looks like European doll in that big fluffy robe.'

'hey Devi Maiyya, please I don't want to die of heart attack. Well, but he is making sure that I do. Does he have to look so devastatingly handsome in this faded t-shirt and track pants. How can he look so hot in this. Haw, what am I thinking? How can I think about him like that? Khushi tu bhi na...Aise koi ghurta hai kya kissi ko? Well, he started it.' While Khushi was having this monologue with herself Arnav walked towards her.

She panicked and started walking backwards looking into his eyes. She could see amusement and then appreciation and then mischief. She got alerted.

'a..aa...aap aa..aage kyun aa rahein hain?'

'Tum piche kyun ja rahi ho?

'Woh...woh...'Gasp' . She felt her back resting on the wall behind.

'Hi , main Arnav... who humari thik se baat nahin ho payi thi isse pehle...'

Khushi looked at him and then his hand. 'woh, can you go and freshen up... I will change into my night clothes.'

'Uski kya zaroorat. This one is easier ' Arnav said looking at the robe and then her confused face, a mischief smile playing on his lips. When after a minute he still saw the confused look on his wife's face he said Acha think main jata hun. U go change'.

When he came out of the bathroom he saw his pretty little wife on the recliner , all changed into an old white cotton salwar. She was sitting there with her back to him and looking at the sky.

He went and sat beside her. Silence prevailed for few minutes before she spoke.

'I was missing dad. I believe he is a star now and always watches upon us from up there.'

He quietly just held her hand in his palm, understanding what she must be going through.

'Come with me' he said. He made her sit on the bed and turned towards the closet to return with a rectangular wooden carved box. He opened it and made her wear the contents.

'These are my mother's bangles. When she had bought them I really loved them and had insisted that I want to wear them.' He chuckled at the memory, making her smile too.

'Ma then said "arre pagal, tujhe yeh itni hi pasand hai toh main isse apne chotte ki bahu ko de dungi. Uski kalayi pe yeh dekh ke niharte rehna pure din."'

He kept rubbing her wrist softly were the bangle rested. Khushi looked at him and thought if she needed to start her life on a clean slate then she would have to forget her past.

'Humme so jana chahiye... Its been a long day. U take the left side Khushi, I'll sleep on the right.'

And just like that she didn't have to think again about how to let him know her dilemma.
