21 Days Of Marriage

still day 1

12:50 PM

[K A R A N] 

"You should take leave for a few more days" i heard my best friend aka deepak's voice.

By yesterday's event i got new identities, someone's husband, someone's son in law. My newly wed wife aarushi is a nutritionist. She is freaking beautiful and kind hearted. I so wish she marry someone else. She didn't deserve me. I don't know how to behave around a girl, given the fact my house has women more than men. My twin sisters and mother never bothered me much.

we both left to our respective jobs today. To me an important project is going. I can't take much leave as i am in charge of it. So here i am ignoring my mother's curses and taunts leaving fo work right after the marriage.

"It's unnecessary" i said removing the white coat i was wearing and stuffing it inside my locker.

It was lunch time and we both are going outside. Deepak is a total food lover and likes to try new foods. So once or twice in a week we go out to satisfy his appetite.

"But dude, don't you miss your wife. You know I missed Swati so much when i came to work, one week after our marriage. It's an un explainable feeling" he said as we walked to my car.

"We anyway see each other in the evening" i said getting into the driving seat. We took turns. Today was mine. I drove the care out of the premises.

"Every wife expects their husband's company in initial days. They are new to your home and they take time to adjust. It's we who have to help them with that" he continued.

"But she didn't ask me" i said turning the wheel to left side.

"They don't say it in words, like i am uncomfortable, please stay etc.. you have to dephrase it from their face" Deepak said as the car stopped at a red traffic signal.

" I am an upright person, i don't know this twisted and turned ways." I said tapping my finger on the steering. There is still forty more seconds for the signal light to turn green.

"Bro, that's why your brother is here. You can ask me any problems regarding female, I can give you the answers within seconds" he excitedly as if I offered him a hundred crore.

Well for him hundreds of crores isn't worthy infront of his number of female fans. And the idiot knows more than half of them were behind him because he is my bestfriend. And here he is flaunting infront of me.

Smirking at him i entered the parking area of our regular restaurant.

"Today is your treat" i said pocketing the key while we walked inside drawing attention of some people's.

"Why is it me again" he said as we seated on our regular place. The outdoor area. There were few tables and chairs arranged beautifully. Now the climate was warm and pleasent. The greenery looks good with the white table clothes on the table goving them extra beauty.

"Well for your information you are the one eager to come here. Look around it's a good chance to flaunt as your female fans are looking at you" I said taking the menu from the table going through it.

He stared or glared me and pointed his forefinger at me "fine, you won" he stood up and went to the washroom to wash his hands.

I raised my hands, a waiter with white coloured uniform reached our table. He has a book and pen in his hand, probably waiting for us to give orders.

"Paneer pulav and chicken tikka for me" I said. He looked at me after writing and then the empty seat opposite to me. "He will order for himself"

Waiter nodded his head but before he can turn away Deepak came and took his seat. He gave his order when I said I gave mine. The waiter went and we engrossed in our project related talks. I thanked God that he forgot about my marriage matter and ranted about his colleague torturing him with difficult tasks.

8:35 PM

I removed my frameless spectacles which I mostly use in lab and rubbed my eyes. My eyes gave me signal of being tired. I looked at my watch.

Shit! Today I will die in my mother's hand

I hurriedly got up and packed my bag. If I get anymore late my mother will chop me into pieces and make new dish like the cooking videos she always saw in tv.

I rushed into my car bidding a hurry bye to Deepak and drove out of the research building. Now there will be one more member in my home who I will see everyday.

By the time i parked my car in the parking lot of the building, the time was few minutes past eight. Karuna aunty our neighbour was also there in the lift when i entered inside. Her hands were filled with too much bags. So I offered her help which she gladly taken. I dropped her in her and she invited me to dinner which i politely refused.

Walking back to my home I rang the bell. Once...twice...no one opened, as I raised my fist to knock on the door, it opened revealing smrithi's face. I smirked looking at my raised hand and knocked it over her forehead.

"Bhaiyaa....maa....look what he did" I heard her whin rushing inside. I chuckled following her and removed my shoes placing it inside the rack. My eyes glued at a new pair of shoes.

Your wife!

My mind whispered. I stared at it for sometime before averting my gaze.

"Oh Mr.busy bee is back" Sruthi said eating her vegetable salad sitting on the sofa. Between those two she is more health conscious. This is the only thing that differs them. Smrithi eat almost everything if it is junk foods but Sruthi dislikes it.

"That sassy mouth of yours" I said tapping her head taking a seat beside her.

"I know you are exhausted, but now that someone else is also here you should come in presentable way, atleast" I looked myself and I saw my sleeves are disoriented and my shirt has creases all over them. I didn't get time to clean it, or can say i didn't bother to.

"Why are you sitting here talking nonsense with her, go to aarushi. She is waiting for you since evening" my mother said coming out of the kitchen.

"Now that you have your daughter in law, you forgot your son" I signed dramatically wiping my not so fake tears.

"Naughty boy" she chuckled pulling my ears.

Later i was pushed forward to my room. I hesitated first but then opened my door taking deep breath. There she was sitting on the bed wearing a cute spectacles reading a red files. Some files and notes are spread out in the bed.

Seeing me she stood up removing her glasses. Her bare brown eyes stuck in my face and lips curved up slightly attracting my attention.

Damn I already started missing her glass covered eyes. Atleast it helped to distract me.

She smiled at me and took my bag from my shoulder. Somewhere in corner of my heart I started enjoying this little moments. To have someone who have rights on you, to care for you.

"Had a hectic day?" She asked placing the bag on the shelf.

"Hmm" i hummed rubbing my forehead.

"You go freshen up, i will set the dinner" she said taking out my night clothes out of the wardrobe and giving it to me. I silently took it from her and went to the washroom.

I urgently needs a warm bath

By the time i came back dinner table was set and all are waiting for me. We had dinner together.

Now comes the emberrassing moments. As we had an hurry marriage everyone was tired enough to fall on the bed and sleep yesterday. Now they had a chance they started teasing us.

Escaping mom and dad's teasing looks we fell on the hands of my devil twins. They teased us so much that my cheeks hurts from blushing.

Aarushi wasn't any better. I wondered wouldn't her cheeks hurts from all the red colour formed on it in the form of blush.
