Glimpses From Ronakshi's Paradise

The Gift 😉

After completing his daily schedule of work at the hospital, Rohit returned to Sippy mansion and went ahead to the lift while checking his phone. A tired yet content sigh escaped from his lips as he entered and closed the door of their room behind him.

It had been relatively a less hectic day for him. Keeping his bag on the couch, he took off his blazer and rolled the sleeves of his shirt after loosening the collar. Sona had messaged him almost an hour ago about getting an early packup and reaching home.

The lights of the room were on and he noticed her stuff kept on the table across the couch, but the was not a single sign of her presence in the room. It would be of no use to call her since he could see her phone too, connected to the charger on the bedside table.

Thinking that she might be in the kitchen, he decided to join her after freshening up. Keeping his shoes, socks & watch at their fixed places, he took out his clothes from the closet & proceeded towards the bathroom.

As he locked the door & turned, he was greeted with a sight that he was totally unprepared for and it arrested his approaching footsteps, rooting him to the spot. His gaze roamed over the person already present inside the shower cubicle. Clad in a fluffy white bathrobe, Sonakshi sat perched up on the edge of the bathtub. A towel was wrapped around her head & it was evident that she had just showered.

Her face was devoid of any make up and he felt himself losing away in her beauty. Leaning himself a bit on the door, he watched her curiosly to see what she was upto. As if on cue, she took out a small rectangular sheet from the packet kept beside her and removed its covering.

He vaguely remembered it to be a cold wax strip that he had been forced to use some months ago. As his brain registered the succeeding actions that were going to be performed, he saw Sona sticking the strip to the exposed part of her calf of left leg. As she was about to pull it off, he gave a loud shout saying 'Stop' which caused her to lose her balance and the water she had kept in a small tub on the ground spilled on the floor. She gave a short scream which was more out of shock rather than pain. Shock, because of hearing his panicked voice out of nowhere and pain because, well she too landed herself on the ground on her butt. Rohit was beside her at once, concern etched on his features as he watched her trying to get up.

Rohit asked her, "Kya kar rhi ho Sona?"

His tone was reprimanding as he bend down to carry her in his arms. She swatted his hands away before he could touch her.

Sona countered him, "Tum mujhse poochh rahe ho mai kya kar rahi hoon? Tum yahaan kya kar rhe ho aur andar kaise aaye?"

Rohit smirked, "Yahaan darwaaze se aane ke alawa tumhe aur bhi koi raasta pata hai? Obviously mai wahin se aaya Sona!

Sonkashi voiced her thought, "Par maine toh darwaaza..

He interrupted her sentence in the middle,".. lock nahin kiya tha!"

She looked sheepish at his response, but asked anyway, "Toh tum knock nahin kar sakte the?"

Rohit replied, "Arey mujhe laga tum neeche ho, kitchen me, islye maine socha ki fresh up ho jaun, phir tumhe milunga! Mujhe kya pata tha tum yahaan ho! Tumne toh mujhe hi surprise de diya! Ab agar tumhare sawaal khatm ho gaye ho toh room me chalein?

She made a face at him.

He went away, opened the door and then came back leaning down to her height. As he attempted to gather her again in his arms, this time she comfortably adjusted herself against him, resting both her hands on his shoulder encircling him. He smiled at her antics.

He made his way inside the room carefully, avoiding stepping on the clothes that had fallen out of his hands some minutes ago. Sonakshi opened her eyes as he settled down her frame softly on the mattress.
