His Strange Wife | ✔

*Part 3*

It has been more than 10 minutes, Pramod's aunt is talking to him & his mom in the hall room. Mainly she came to see new bride, just passing some time like this.

"M. Pramod, go & call your wife?"

"P. Yeah sure mom."

Pramod simply comes to his room but things start puzzling there.

Susheela is sleeping. Hmm, the sleep seems deep enough. Pramod doesn't feel like waking her up, but finds himself obliged as relatives don't come everyday.

He was just going to call but suddenly notices something wrong. How should he call her?

"P. Aaa... wait! (Low voice) Whattt...."

Pramod, in mind...

"Umm, her name was... what was it? No, wait a minute. I can't forget so easily, what was that!? She just told me yesterday, I even called her 2 or 3 times.. then, where did I last hear it? Aah, what Pramod? You forgot your own wife's name? Maybe happens, I'm not used to it no.."

He sits beside her on the bed and starts thinking for a technique, how to wake her up.

"Should I hold her hands? Or, slowly massage her feet?"

Pramod remembers, there was an uncle of his who used to massage his feet to call him whenever he was in sleep. He of course hated that, as elders touching feet feels very weird & that's disrespectful.

"No no, girls shouldn't be touched without their permission.. then?"

Uff! What a dilemma he is stuck in! Now even if he wants, he can't check the marriage file as he has to search for it & that will take too long. Even his mom & aunt are waiting for him.

He is staring at Susheela & thinking. But he can't concentrate well, while looking at the cutest girl. She seems so innocent, sweet & pure hearted. He suddenly recalls the previous day's scene that makes him smile wide.

*Flashback*

(It's the previous day, in the afternoon)

"P. Umm, if you don't mind, I want to say something."

Susheela is lying on her bed with full concentration on phone.

"S. Say something that doesn't make me mind, please.. go ahead (smiles)."

"P. You look quite free, I understand you're on holidays but, I guess you can use this time to study, not wasting.. I mean,"

"S. Yes I understood, Mr. Thank you, yeah, I'll start. But please don't ask me now, I'm not well, feeling too tired you know.."

"P. Ah, yeah sure.. no problem."

Pramod goes out & thinks..

"Isn't she concerned about her future? The whole day she just relaxes.. I know nothing."

When it's dark midnight, Pramod wakes up with a little light's reflection on his face.
He gets up from bed and looks right. Beside open slides of balcony, enjoying the moon & wind, lighting a lamp, his wife is studying. She has a lot of books near her on a table, all the books seem important, though Pramod can't see anything clearly. He smiles & remembers a saying he heard once,

"Some people can study better at night, some in the morning, some in the evening. It fully depends on the person how he/she likes to study."

Perhaps she is one of those book worms, who love to spend nights after nights, several nights to study & succeed in life. He sits for 5 minutes silently then lies & turns to the opposite side, thinking not to disturb or interrupt her matters.

Yeah, these people also exist who seem different to the world, but are actually different to themselves, in real life. So, judging someone without knowing properly is the worst mistake ever, which gives the worst regret later.

*Flashback ends*

He takes his face down & again takes up in a second. He was totally lost in his thoughts & forgot the main job of waking the sleeping beauty up. When he came back to sense, he notices a spot on Susheela's cheek. He goes near her face to see properly & all of a sudden, Susheela opens her large, attractive eyes.

She gets up fast as well as Pramod moves back as they both get shocked being so close of each other.

"Umm, mom was calling you... m,my aunt has arrived soo.." says Pramod stammering.

Susheela gets down of bed from a corner.

"Crude!" Susheela says with a grin while entering washroom, looking at him in a low voice. (A kind of fun, with insult.)

Pramod understands that he has been accused of an unnecessary thing. He clears his throat with some light coughs and leaves his room hesitantly. No doubt, both got extremely shy sharing the closest position & eye sight they ever did.

After 10 minutes, Susheela comes & greets all. She sits beside the guest in a very polite way.

"(Guest). Woah Minnie, you've got such a pretty daughter-in-law!"

"M. No not daughter-in-law, I've got a fairy-like daughter which I never had.. Now I'm happy with my two children!"

"G. Hmm hmm, of course! So dear, what is your name?"

"S. Susheela."

Pramod, in mind...

"Susheelaaa... will memorize it well so that never forget again."

"G. Oh, Susheela? Nice name! See Pramod, you've got a piece of moon, okay? Take care of her, all don't have this fortune.."

"P. (Smiles) Yeah aunty... I agree."

That's all here.. Thanks for reading!
