Chapter 51A light sensation on Shrimayi's nose made her stir in sleep.
She covered her face with duvet but the sensation moved to her hands.
"Gotya it's not funny."She screamed as Gauravi's face popped up in her dream.
The itching stopped for a while then it started again but this time on the sole of her feet.
She hissed and sat upright in her bed, her eyes still drooping.
She grabbed her cousin and pulled her hair till she heard the screams but soon Gauravi's screams turned into manly cries.
That made her eyes fluttered open.
She noticed her husband who was trying to loosen her grasp on his hair.
She let go of it quickly and and covered her mouth in an embarrassment.
"You don't get to touch my hair again."He warned setting the mess his locks had become after the rough treatment.
"Who wakes up someone like that?"She asked once she was past her embarrassed state.
"Remember the morning, Tingu had his first flower and I got a face massage. I atleast used something practical.
"A peacock feather."He said feeling smart.
He showed her the same and she reached for it in excitement.
"Uh. Uh. It's mine."He said.
"Fine I don't want it."She said crossing her arms."
"Take it. I will get another one."
"From where?"
"Narendra Mama's farmhouse is near a forest. So many peacocks visit the premise."
"Haww! You pluck those poor birds' feathers for you evil schemes like this?"
"What schemes? pray tell?"
"Ruining someone's morning sleep."She said shooting him a glare.
"It's necessary that we leave early. That's the only way by which the annoying bunch aka our relatives will not bother us or worst join us on our day out."
"Day out? Look there are plenty of things to be done for tomorrow's mehendi ceremony. Ketaki kaku is allergic to regular mehendi. I am now looking for some organic mehendi cones online. But so far no luck. So please don't plan...."
She was cut off as he placed his long index finger on her lips.
"No excuses baiko. All arrangements are done."
"But.."
He put the finger on her lips again.
"Ketaki kaku is annoying. Don't heed to her demands. I am sure she made the whole allergy thing up. I have seen her using regular mehendi cone at Deu's wedding just few years ago."
She was about to protest but he didn't let her speak.
"I will personally go to Peth area* and look for organic mehendi myself. If that's even a thing."He insisted.
"God!! Why are you so stubborn?"She asked.
"You think I am the stubborn one? Then you should meet my wife."He teased.
"She must be amazing I am sure."She replied with a fake innocent smile and waited for him to disagree with her.
"She is indeed."He said looking at her so intently she forgot to breath.
