Aakhi-His Bengali Wife

Mesmerize By Her Beauty

Abhi's Pov

I was reading a crime thriller book named 

'Murder On The Orient Express.'

The book was interesting enough to finish it on one go. I was so into the book but sudeenly a knock interrupt my reading session.  

I stood up from my bed and took steps to open the door. The Door opened, revealing a gorgeous girl.

Dark red cotton sari.. Brown eyes. One braid. Long eyelashes. Fair Skin. 

''Aakhi?''

The word skipped out of my mouth without allowing my brain to reflect for a moment. Most importantly, it's her. An adult woman. I could not believe my eyes. That girl, I could never bear. That Girl who used to bother me. That girl whom I despise. Now,

I was mesmerized by her Beauty.

''Abhi?'' she inquired.

''Yes?'' 

I don't know why but I sounded so stupid.

"Mane ei dekha korte ashlam." Kemon acho?'' 

Nothing just came here to meet you. How are you doing?

 She came here to meet me? Is it actually Aakhi? Or I'm just day dreaming? 

I  stopped my self from overthink and replied to her question. 

"Valo, Tumi?"

Good. And you?

"Valoi achi."

I am also good. 

She responded with a smile. That Dimples. She stood there for some moments silently. Maybe finding topics to conversate with me. 

'' Toh thik ache thako ami jai.'' 

So...okay, bye.

Suddenly she broke the silence and she left her place and walked towards the stairs.

"Where are you going?"

"I've got some work to do. Bye.'' By saying this she went down by stairs.

She's really something. We met after many years, and she treated me as if we were meeting for the first time.

Why we were behaving that way? 

And Also That 

Attraction? 

Why did I feel it for her? And why she was also anxious about meeting me?

Maybe because we were no longer that child.

Flashback...

"Kakima Kakima" I called Aakhi's mother while dragging her by the wrist. Her mom hurriedly came out of the house to see what happened.  

"What happened?" Her mother inquired.

'' Kakima She hide my notes somewhere, and now she's refusing to give them to me.'' I complained to her mother. 

'' Aakhi What's this? Why do you always bother him? Give him back his notes.''

"But, ma--" [slap]

"Give Him The notes Now."

After a while, she handed the notes to her mother.

"Abhi, I apologize on her behalf."

Her eyes were full with tears. For her white complexion, the red stains on her cheek were clearly evident to me. She looks adorable while weeping.

Flashback End

Thinking about the scene, caused me to smile softly.

I left a sign and went to my study table.
