TAMED AND TAINTED

SENSEX

"Bhai" Meera shrieked, running towards Abhimanyu

"Dheere dheere aramse" Abhimanyu held Meera in his arms
(Slow down dear sister)

"Happy Holi" Meera wished

"Same to you Meera" Abhimanyu wished back

Abhimaan reached the spot where Meera and Abhimanyu were standing. Both Abhimaan and Abhimanyu exchanged a brotherly hug, smearing colour on one another.

"Bhai let's eat, Maan chaliye" Meera dragged both of them to different stalls. She made them taste every delicacy present over their skipping ofcourse 'bhang'
(Bhai let's eat, Maan let's go)

Abhimaan gave a question look to Abhimanyu, who in return asked him to wait for few minutes.

Meera went away along with Aviral to play Holi. Taking opportunity of the situation both Abhimanyu and Abhimaan went to his room.

Both brother-in-laws were having champagne sitting at the mini bar in Abhimaan's bedroom.

"Why Meera hates drinking and smoking?" Abhimaan asked

"She is a hypocrite, nothing else. Ever peeped inside her novels. She would always consider the smokers and drinkers sassy and sexy...........par haan she loathes extreme drunkards" Abhimanyu explained

"Hmm......."

"How's life going? I particularly mean marital life" Abhimanyu asked

"It's not going as expected but far better than my expectations.........all thanks to Meera"

"Yeah yeah am proud of my sister"

"Give me a chance too, to be proud of my sister" Abhimaan smirked while Abhimanyu chuckled

"Sanyukta is a pampered princess, I have no idea if I can maintain her like that" Abhimanyu said

"Looking at Meera's upbringing am sure you would cherish Sanyu with life........but for that you need to approach her"

"What if she denies?" Abhimanyu asked

"She is in love with you why will she deny? You just have to go let your heart out" Abhimaan answered

"Similarly how you have let your heart out before my sister" Abhimanyu mocked

"Atleast am progressing. I can hold, talk, scold, kiss Meera whenever I want but what about you? Your life gonna end staring at Sanyukta from afar"

"You remember right, that Meera is my and Sanyukta is your sister.......and we should not be discussing stuffs like this" Abhimanyu said

"You are hopeless in love" Abhimaan said nodding his head negatively

"I know I know and because of this am your bestie....................by the way you said you are progressing so how far you went with your wife" Abhimanyu winked

"Bloody brute, my wife is your sister stop imagining my bedroom life" Abhimaan scrunched his nose

"Ooh shit....why you have to marry my sweet sister yaar.......I can't even tease you about your lusty bedroom life" Abhimanyu complained

"That's why I am suggesting you to quickly propose Sanyukta and we both will be mutual" Abhimaan suggested

With this both brother-in-laws cum besties continued drinking and chatting.

IN THE AFTERNOON

All the guests returned back to their home. Rathore retire back to their room.
After taking a warm bath Meera came to sleep beside Abhimaan.

Abhimaan covered both of their bodies. Massaging Meera's scalp softly he asked her to take a nap.

"Aaj shaam ko ek anniversary party hai......we are would be attending that by 8 so get ready till 7" Abhimaan informed Meera pecking her forehead.
(In the evening we have an anniversary party to attend at 8 , so be ready by 7)

" Kis ki anniversary party hai" Meera asked hugging Abhimaan's torso
(Whose anniversary party is it?)

"Mr & Mrs Shekhawat"

"Ooh...." Meera responded

Abhimaan smiled looking at Meera and leaning down he kissed her passionately.

"Maan, abhi hum sone wale hain?" Meera asked
(Maan, are we going to sleep now?)

"Haan, kyu?" Abhimaan replied as well as asked
(Yes , why?)

"Mein woh keh rahi thi ki..........hum ek point pe ruk jate hai............ matlab aage badhna chahiye...... woh umm hume karna chahiye par hum kar nhi rahe........woh meine socha bohot then I think ki need hoti hai sabki....." Meera was rounding things up
(Actually i was saying that we are proceeding well but at one point we will halt everytime.......i mean we should grow.....we should do those things......i gave it a thought and everyone has there own needs so........)

Though Abhimaan could understand what his precious wife is trying to indicate yet he decided to remain ignorant of her talks

"Cut it short and straight Meera, just a word" Abhimaan ordered

"Sex" Meera timidly mumbled

"What? SEX" Abhimaan knowingly overreacted, dramatically exaggerating the word sex.

Meera's eyes widened looking at Abhimaan's reaction. She quickly changed her words.

"Chi chi sex nhi sensex. Mein sensex ke bare mein bol rahi thi.........we should invest in that........abhi market price acha chal raha hai......."
(Yuck yuck not fuck i mean not sex i was talking about sensex........we should invest in that........the market price has increased)

"Is it so? I wasn't knowing that my biwi is also into business" Abhimaan smirked

Meera awkwardly smiled and said "Let's sleep" turning towards the opposite side Meera pretend to sleep. While Abhimaan biting his lips smirked. Pulling Meera closer to his chest he whispered huskily "soon biwi, soon".

AT EVENING

"Bahu Rani sa, Rudra hukum apse milna chahte hai" a maid informed Meera
(Daughter in law madam, Master Rudra wants to meet you)

Meera walked to Rudra Pratap Singh Rathore's study. Knocking she entered inside the study.

"Come Meera, sit" Rudra offered Meera to sit

"Kaku sa apne yaad kiya"
(Uncle did you ask for me?)

"Meera, actually bhai sa wanted to tell something to you about today's party but he couldn't muster courage to speak. Till today he couldn't utter ill about Shipra, so here I am telling you certain things you should be aware of"

"Shipra, who?" Meera curiously asked

"Your vicious mother-in-law" Rudra Rathore spoke turning Meera flabbergasted

"Maa sa" Meera mumbled
(Mother in law)

"Never, I repeat never address Shipra with this endearment. Abhimaan would never like this...........
Meera beta today is Shipra's anniversary. Every year positively she sends an invitation for Abhimaan and bhai sa, mocking on their condition..........
She never accepted her relationship with bhai sa though bhai sa still loves her madly. And when it comes to Abhimaan both loathes each other...........

Both bhai sa and Abhimaan have their own past and it is not my place to tell anything about this. With time both will reveal their secrets, you just need to have patience.

I will just say that Meera, tonight you need to be strong. Strong enough to support Abhimaan. Things will provoke him. I know that you know the art of calming him. So my little magician try to handle Abhimaan if situation takes a worst turn" Rudra Pratap Singh Rathore said

Meera eyes held understandingness . She smilingly nodded in positive and left.
