Raghav and Pallavi definitely took longer in the shower than was necessary, but here no one could disturb them, the rest of the world, any problems, and complaints, all of it was missing from this moment.
When the both of them came down for breakfast, Pallavi couldn't stop smiling, mainly because Raghav's hands were still on her waist, and he seemed to want to follow her everywhere.
"Raghav," Pallavi whispered, "calm down."
Raghav grinned, "Kyun? If I can't flirt with my own wife in my own house, then what's the point of getting married?"
Pallavi glared at him, but ended up grinning, "You are a complete idiot, ok now let me go, I'm gonna get started on breakfast."
Raghav grabbed her wrist as she tried to leave, and pulled her close to him, and then lifted her in the air and made her sit carefully on a dining room chair, dragging another chair and pulling her feet up to rest.
"Raghav, are you insane? What —" Pallavi started
Raghav put a finger to her lips, "Chup, bilkul chup. I already said yesterday, as did Amma, you are not cooking anything. We have Rama, Naidu, and a whole bunch of staff people to help, why the hell will you cook? Tum pagal ho kya?"
Pallavi shook her head, "Raghav, I like cooking, I don't see any problem—"
Ragahv glared at her but didn't smile, "You just fainted because you stayed hungry and thirsty, and you think I'm going to let you do work so you can faint again?"
Pallavi glared back and started to get out of the chair, "I am perfectly fine, and just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean you have complete control over what I do or when I do it. And don't make me feel guilty for fasting, I know I should have paid more attention and figured out I was pregnant myself, but I didn't. I understand completely, you think I'm not going to be a good mother—" Pallavi's eyes started to fill with tears.
Raghav sat her back down, and kneeled in front of her, "Kya bakwas karthi ho tum Saree ka Dukaan. I'm just trying to take care of you. Aur ek baat, if you try to tell me that you won't be a good mother, I will never talk to you ever again, ardhamaindha?"
Pallavi wiped her tears and smiled a little, "Looks like my mood swings have already begun, sorry." She held her ears and Raghav immediately melted when looking into her big doe-like eyes.
"If you look at me with those puppy dog eyes how am I supposed to be mad at you?" Raghav asked, smiling.
Pallavi laughed, putting her arms on his shoulders, "That's why I have these eyes, so you can never get mad at me." She kissed his cheek and started to get up.
"Arre, I just told you to sit, and again you're getting up?" Raghav asked.
"Raghav, I'm pregnant, I'm not sick, I can make some breakfast." Pallavi replied.
Raghav tried to stop her, but before he could say anything, Amma and Naidu came out of the kitchen, "No need to make food beta, I already made it with Naidu, you just rest, and eat."
Raghav sat Pallavi back down, took the dishes from Amma, and started filling up Pallavi's plate.
Keerthi came downstairs, "Wow, The Raghav Rao, serving his wife, haye main marjawaan." She laughed
"Shut up, Keerthi." Raghav said, embarrassed.
Pallavi laughed, "Keerthi, tera bhai, pura ka pura paga hai. Ek minute woh mujh par gussa hai, aur doosra minute woh mujhe khana paros raha hai."
Raghav grimaced, "One day, I will go crazy living with three women."
Amma laughed, "Accha Pallavi, tumhe kab office jana hai? I'll make some lunch for you and send it with you."
Pallavi started to answer, but Raghav interrupted, "Woh office nahi ja rahi hai, Amma. She needs to rest."
"Raghav—" Pallavi started, but then Farhad came in.
"Anna, we have a meeting with Mr. Shah about the next season's catalogue. We should head out."
"Teek hai, Farhad, let me just get my laptop, and I'll meet you outside." Raghav got up and kissed Pallavi on the forehead, "Saree ka Dukaan, agar tumne bahaar jaya toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. Love you." Raghav smiled at her and grabbed an apple from the table and left.
Pallavi crossed her arms and pouted, "Amma, tera beta ek number ka khadoos hai."
