Shakhi : One Shots

SHAKHI TS : Tit for Tat

Morning...

The sky was becoming red as dawn arrived, signalling the impending sunlight and the start of a new day for the Sabharwal family. Today, free from the restrictions of tradition, the young couples awoke with a newfound vigour.

Shaurya and Anokhi, who are experiencing tranquilly in one other's arms and forgetting about the entanglements in the outside world, are roused from their sleep by the alarm.

She snuck her face into the crook of his neck and mumbled, "Shaurya, please turn off the alarm; I want to sleep more." He tightened his grip on her waist, "Mam, it's Monday: don't you want to go to college?"

Anokhi sighed in irritation, "I'm feeling warmth of your body and I don't want to leave it." She gave him a peck on the neck, sending chills down his spine and awakening his unconscious desires for her. He groaned helplessly as he swiftly yanked her from his arms.

"Don't you think you are waking up the sleeping devil," He murmured softly, smirking, as he hovered over her. He intended to tease her a little, but her subsequent behaviour caught him off guard.

She forced him to fall on her by grabbing his neck. "I want to wake up the devil," She whispered while wrapping her arms around him and sensually massaging his bare back.

His eyes saber-widen in response to her comment. He swiftly released himself from her hold and looked at her in shock. She bites her bottom lip to hold back the giggle that threatens to escape her mouth. He said incredulously, "What on earth did you eat yesterday, you crazy lady" and she immediately started laughing.

"Why, what did I do, you started it." She laughed, "What did you think, you are the only master of this game."

He heaved a long sigh and sat on the bed taking support of the bedrest. "I just wanted to tease you a little." He smiled at her.

She smiled back at him as she approached and sat down next to him and remarked, "And I just returned the favour."

They both giggled and Shaurya shook his head in disbelief, muttering, "Crazy woman!"

"Only for you!" Anokhi got up from the bed and winked at him as she went away. He simply smiled at her childish behaviour.

"Yash, I am very happy today," Kanchan expressed as she wrapped her arm around his. They were both sitting in each other's arms on the bed in their room.

Shaurya, Kitty, and Bebo left for college after breakfast, and it was already midday. Babli went after eating her breakfast as well because she had gotten a call from a client.

Yash had been feeling down since yesterday and had stayed at home. Kanchan has been by his side ever since, attempting to make him smile with her absurd conversations.

"Kanchan, you have been saying this to me for the fiftieth time since last night." He glared at her.

She sheepishly smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't say it now."

"It will be better for you if you don't say it," He chided. Because the poor man has been troubled by his insane wife since last night. They all returned home after handing Parth over to the police. All he wanted to do was sleep but who was he even kidding, his crazy wife wanted to celebrate her husband's victory. She put earpods in both of their ears and danced with him till midnight.

Yash was staring at the wall in front of him engrossed in thoughts. He had tried to present himself strong in front of everyone, but since then there was only one thought in his mind,
