YOU COMPLETE ME

THE SPORTS DAY - II

Aryan's POV :-

" If you feed me another bowl of this yucky beans salad , I won't give you kisses for one whole month . " My wife threatened me and I pretended to be scared. I am immune to it now. For the past two weeks I have been given these threats . " Baby , this is the last day , tomorrow morning is the sports day . You need to eat this ."

" Only five spoons , please Aryan , it's so hard to get this damn thing down my food pipe ." She whined .

" OK , fine , eight spoons . That's it ." I said and she pouted in pure distaste .
Though she ate the salad with lots of tantrums and even said that I will be sleeping on the couch tonight . As if I would , I mentally scoffed . The same thing happened two days back and with  so much struggle I was sleeping on the couch only for Jhanvi to slither next to me an hour later. I then carried her all the way to the bed and we slept soundly .
But am I complaining ?
Hell no !

There is not a single thing about her that I do not love . From her beautiful eyes to the way she smiles when she sees me . My chest fills with pride when I see her smiling brighter than sunshine knowing I am the reason of that beautiful smile. Even her tantrums are adorable. They way she's hastily shoving her salad to finish it up.
Oh fuck ! She will choke and as if on cue she started coughing . I gave her water and patted her back . When I narrowed my eyes down to her , she gave me this cheeky grin of her and I wasn't even the slightest bit angry on her .

" Aryan ?"

"Yes. "

" I know you are very busy , I mean you are always busy .... this is not what I wanted to say ...." She's rambling and I think I have an idea what she wants to say .

" Love , what is it ?"

" Will you come tomorrow to cheer me up ? I know you're busy but if you could come even for an hour ?" She nervously asked . I knew it . And I have taken a day off tomorrow . It's my wife's special day and I wouldn't miss it for anything .

" Of course I'll come . "

" There is one more thing  ."

" Yeah ?"

" I want you to come as my husband and not the school Trustee ." This is even more brilliant .
" Sure , save me a seat in the audience OK ."

" Thank you ." She kissed me on both cheeks.
WOW !

" I thought no kisses for me ."
" Oh , that is still on Mister ." She stood up from the dining table and walked upstairs.
No kisses . This is bad . Very bad .
But I will make it up to her somehow. I know she practiced a lot these days , without complaining she'd wake up early for running and jogging and doing yoga and handling school . I also had to make her eat these low calorie salads . But I know her hardwork will pay off .

When I entered our bedroom , Jhanvi was already under the covers , her soft breathing telling me she's out fast asleep. I slid next to her and removed her hair tie massaging the back of her head.

________________________________________

Something heavy was tied down to me. I couldn't move left or right. As I abruptly opened my eyes  I saw Jhanvi straddling me.
" Good morning , Aryan ." She greeted. I greet back with a huff . If she gets the slightest knowledge of what her touch does to me she will run off and away from me.

I sat up with her holding on to my shoulders . " See I am ready before you ." She proudly said.

" That's great , love." 
" Get ready fast and please no suits for today." She requested. That isn't hard.

" Anything for you ." Giving a peck on her cheek I strode in the bathroom for a cold shower.
Jhanvi's wearing an all black track pants with a black hoodie so I took out black denims with a plain white Polo shirt. Not to forget a cap .
After having breakfast and Jhanvi sulking over the boiled food . We drove to St. Andrew's and reached a couple of minutes before seven.
St. Andrew's has a very large ground . All the preparations were made upto the point. Wishing her luck , I moved away from the participants area. Jhanvi  has given me a pass which I had to show in order to sit. It has  A 3- 26  printed on it. I took my seat and the sports day commenced with all of us singing the National Anthem followed by a march past. I was surrounded by kids not more than ten years old. A boy came to sit next to me . He would constantly stand up on his chair to have a clear view so I made him sit on my lap. " My name Rudra. "
" Hello Rudra , I am Aryan. " We both shook hands .
" Why are you sitting in between us ? " He asked me tapping his finger on his chin.
" I am here to cheer for Miss Jhanvi . " I said.

Man , he wouldn't even know whom I am talking about , he's just a kid.

" Oh , Miss Jhanvi ! I am here to see her race too. She's my class teacher and she's vuvely !" He exclaimed with joy .

Aryan , look out you have competition.

" How do you know her , are you her friend ?" He asked .

" I am her husband ." I proudly said .

" OK. Husband can you ask Miss Jhanvi to give me full marks in grammar test . I promise I'll study well for the next test. "  He said eating his sandwich .
What am I ? A postman .
"Look kiddo , this can't happen . And you should be happy with your marks and better luck next time. "

" You're a meanie ."

" What !"

" Anyway , let's concentrate on the ground ."

This boy is way too smart for his age.

Several events were played such as 100metres race by students to discus and shotput throw , three legged race by parent and child .
Now it was teachers relay race. All the names of the participants were announced . Jhanvi was looking nervous . And from the ground she looked upto to me and our eyes met. I raised my thumbs at her.

I know you can do it , baby .

And on the coach's mark they ran . Jhanvi was running at a slow pace . All of the children surrounding me started to call her out , cheering for her. And when she was nearing the finish line , she was behind two competitors . And then as if she gained some superpowers , she ran and crossed the finish line before the other two.

Yayyyy !!!

Clearly the winner of this race is Jhanvi .

" ANDD THE WINNER IS MISS JHANVI !"  The host announced and the ground erupted in praises. She jumped on her spot and punching in the air. When she looked at me she mouthed  I won with twinkling eyes and I passed her a flying kiss which gained attention of the whole ground.

Around twelve noon the day ended and she was rewarded with a gold medal I even took snaps of her with the medal .
" Ahhh , I feel so tired ." She sighed sitting next to me in the passanger seat. My security following us behind in another car as I wanted to drive today.
" So , what does my love wish to eat ?"
" I am going to take a hot relaxing bath as soon as I get home and you will cook me my favourite lasagna ."

"Sure , anything else ?"

" A cookie and cream milkshake too ." She replied after a lot of thinking.

" Thank you so much Aryan ." She said and kissed my cheek and I mentally thanked all the Gods above as it was a red signal or I don't know what would have happened .

But why did she say thank you?

" Why are you thanking me ?"

" Because you tolerated me without any  annoyance for the past two weeks and helped me out , that's why ." She said and I couldn't be more overjoyed. Silly of her to think that I was tolerating her . I love taking care of her , doing things for her.

We reached home and as she planned , she went to the bathroom while I prepared her meal .

The rest of the afternoon passed by eating and watching Zootopia and Beauty and the Beast and I read to her , her favourite detective novel .
