" Bhabhi, what do you think is wrong with our Abhishek? He's not at all interested in his would be wife.....!" Hetal whispered in Vimla's ears. The Pooja was going on, and honestly, they were bored. So, it was gossiping time!
" Ay, Hetal, hasn't he always been like that? To my best knowledge, he never had a girlfriend in his life!"Vimla said, inviting the attention of Kanta and Lajwanti as well.
" Bhabhi, do you think he is 'that'???" Kanta asked, with a worried look. " What do you mean, Kanta ben?" (ben - sister) Lajwanti asked curiously.
" Aish Lajwanti bhabi.... haven't you heard, gay....!!" She covered her mouth and whispered that 'gay' part in an incredibly low voice, as if fearing she would lose her religion (Dharam bhrasht)!
" What is gay, bhabhi?"Hetal asked in all innocence... Kanta immediately covered her(Hetal's) mouth and said " Shh... don't say that aloud. That word means men who like men.... I'm so ashamed to say! Men who bed men..." Lajwanti gasped in horror, while Vimla and Hetal looked curious.. Hetal thought for a moment and asked " Maybe he is 'that'! What if... what if he is in love with some man now??"
" Bhabhi... if he is, wouldn't he be attracted to Siddharth?" Lajwanti asked. Suddenly, Vimla gasped " That's it! you know, Last week, when I went to visit Khyati ben, Abhishek also tagged along, saying that he wanted to speak to Siddharth regarding internship. When we entered the house, Siddharth had just returned from his practice, and had dozed off on the sofa.. He was wearing a tight, sleeveless t-shirt and a 'short' pair of shorts. His thighs were seen and... forget it, on the whole, he looked very stunning and Abhishek was checking him out..!"
" What?!" The sisters in law choked on nothing.
" Yes.... he was looking at Siddharth, like he wanted to eat him then and there!" Vimla concluded. The others were shocked.. Then, Lajwanti sighed " Mmm... you can't blame Abhishek.. that boy Siddharth is a boxer ( she means that he is a kickboxer), and has quite the body for a young man.. Besides, he has a slim waist, and pale white skin...His face is quite handsome and manly when he smirks, and more beautiful than most girls when he smiles"
"Aree, Lajwanti ben, there's no use drooling over what you can't have... We have to put up with our boring husbands, who fall asleep as soon as a bed is seen!" Vimla sighed...
Unbeknownst of them, Ba was hearing every word.. She had been suspecting Abhishek to be in love for some time, but, this idea was very disturbing.... Him and Siddharth...But then she brushed it off, as it was common for her 'vahu's to gossip on everything under the sun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Abhishek was relaxing on the sofa, after a tiring day. He had many sittings in the day, plus there was problems going on in the company. If Siddhi was there, she would have handled it. But Siddhi and Prateek were out on a one week long babymoon 2.0. He didn't want to disturb them, as Siddhi had finally decided to take a break, albeit short. Her workaholism was well known in the company. After her first child was born, she rested at home for four months, and resumed work. She hired a nanny, and the kid was brought to her office daily. During these ten years, the cheeky girl had grown into a calculative, formidable CEO. He chuckled sadly, remembering how he wanted to raise a baby girl with Siddharth.
