Being Your Second Wife

18

Delhi lautne ke baad Kaya aur Shiv ke beech sabkuch wapas pahle jaisa hi ho gaya tha. Shiv office mein busy tha aur Kaya ghar aur Ansh mein. Kaya hairaan thi ki kayi din beet chuke the par Shiv ne kuch bhi alag sa  behave nahi kiya tha. Use laga tha ki Pushkar mein us raat ke jikra ke baad uska Kaya ke taraf attitude thoda change hoga maybe wo uske jaada kareeb aane ke koshish karenge par Shiv ne aisa kuch bhi nahi kara tha.
Jahan ek taraf Kaya ko is baat ka relief tha wahi hairaani bhi, ek udaasi bhi par use laga yahi sahi bhi hai.

Doosri taraf Shiv apne office ke projects mein jaada busy ho gaya tha. He wanted to spend more time with Kaya and Ansh par job ki responsibilities ki wajah se aisa ho nahi paa raha tha. After confessing his feelings towards her he was more impatient but he also did not want to make her uncomfortable but as the days were progressing he was getting more irritated and impatient.

One day the work was less so Shiv came back home early at around evening

"Yaar ye kaam bhi na kabhi kabhi haalat kharab kar deta hai." He said pressing his forehead and putting the glass of water down on the centre table.

Kaya smiled at his statement took the glass of water and proceeded towards kitchen.

"Kaya aaj baahar chale dinner ke liye ?"

"Baahar ?"

"Haan. Aaj mera mann baahar ka khaane ka hai. Kya bolti ho ?"

"Aren't you tired ? Itne time baad aap jaldi ghar aaye hain, ghar par relax kariye."

"Arey nahi. Baahar chalte hain. Chalo tum aur Ansh taiyaar ho jao. Ya tum ho pahle mai Ansh ko kar deta hoon."

Kaya gave up on his excitement.

Wo apne kamre mein Almirah kholke khadi soch rahi thi ki kya pehne jab Shiv ne darwaje par knock kiya

"Ji..aa jaiye andar."

"Mai bas ye poochne aaya tha ki Ansh ki water bottle kahan hai !? Apni jagah pe dikh nahi rahi."

"Oh ! Wo maine dhul ke balcony me sookhne rakhi thi taaki smell na aaye."

"Ok Ok mai le leta hoon."

He turned back and she admired how handsome he actually is. Everything looks good on him but he looks so good when he wears his formals...like now...his shirt sleeves fold , his biceps trying to peek from under the cloth.But suddenly he turned back towards her again and she tried to be normal aisa na lage ki uski chori pakdi gayi. She cleared her throat

"Kya hua kuch aur poochna tha ?"

"Nahi bas tum taiyaar kyun nahi ho rahi !"

"wo...bas abhi ho hi rahi."

Shiv ne bed par pade kapde notice kar liye the. Use laga ki maybe she is not sure what to wear, he wanted to help but was not very sure that Kaya will welcome his idea.

"Okay...jaldi ho jao."

She nodded her head and started getting ready.

"All Set ?" Kaya asked Shiv after coming out from her room. He was busy making Ansh ready and setting up his belongings.

He looked at her and found her ready wearing her trademark style Kurti with her hair braided to one side.

He found her pretty but also felt a little disappointed. These days he wants to see her in different styles.

"Is something wrong ?" She asked looking at herself doubtfully.

"Nahi..Nahi..kuch nahi." He replied fastly isse pahle ki Kaya kuch galat samajh le.
