Dheere Dheere Se

Peaceful evening Until...

Paridhi's POV:

"No Vedika, I can't do this."

"Bhabhi pleaseee, sab friends honge...aur me late night Ghar aajaungi, bass aap thoda sambhal lo na." the urge in her voice had me. I could feel how much wanted to be around her person. But I'm not in the position to give her permission.

"Vedu gharpe kya bolegi lekin unko toh ye nahi bol sakte hum ki tu tere boyfriend ke sath picnic pe jari hai?"

"Sejal! Sejal ka naam le lungi na aap bass meri side le Lena mummy papa ke samne. Me bol dungi uske parents bahar Gaye hai toh sab girls uske ghar late Tak rukenge"

"Vedika.. you know na maa papa allow nahi karenge"

"I know I know, but aap aur Bhai samzaoge toh mann jayenge. App bass mere haa me haa mila dena please bhabhi."

"Vedu, listen... let's talk to your bhai first. He'll convince maa and papa." I tried to relax her.

"Nahi bhabhi! Bhai nahi manenge! You remember na how he joined us to the club. Bacchi nahi hu yaar ab me, par mummy papa aur bhai ko abhi hii 5 saal ki hi dikhti hu." I come from a protective and restrictive family too, I know how endearing and suffocating family's love can be. But growing up I've realised why it was important too. Still Vedika is a grown up kid, she needs her freedom. I'm not in favour of daily late night parties but occasionally it's fine. I gotta do something.

"Achaa theeke, tu Jaa. Sejal ka naam leke ja. I'll handle gharpe." As soon as I agreed with Vedika she threw her hands and hugged me tightly.

"You're the bestest Bhabhi! I love you!!"

"I love you too. But dekh jyada der maat karna and make sure you're not traveling alone, Sejal ya jo bhi friends hai unke sath cab book kar lena. Aur ha please apna phone silent pe maat rakhna last time band baj gayi thi uss wajah se and ha muzhe jitne bhi dost hai unke number deke rakh."

"Aye aye captain! Jaisa app kahe. Bhabhi...lekin abhi ek aur problem hai?" Oh shit, now what!

"Ab kya hua?" I asked worriedly

"Muzhe samaz hi nahi aa raha...me dress konsi pehnu?" This girl!

"God! Daara hi diya tune."

'Reached' Vedika texted me as she reached to at the party place. It took us two whole days to convince my grumpy man and once he was convinced, getting permission from maa papa became easier.

I entered our room with my head down texting back to Vedika remiding her to text me time to time.

"What do I need to do to get my wife's attention?" Rishabh's voice startled me but I laughed at his question.

"Should I pull her into this bed or tickle her to get her here or maybe I should pick her up?" He kept suggesting as I laughed.

"Give me a moment I'm coming." Switching off the lights i settled on the bed. Maa and Papa both were at a function and Vedika was out partying so it was just two of us home today, which is why we decided to watch a movie together.

---

More than half of the movie me and Rishabh kept ranting over how absurd the story and characters were yet kept watching it till the end. We ordered food from outside and had a peaceful evening. Until..

My phone rang and Vedika's name flashed it was still early for her to return, why would she call now? I wondered.

As I picked her call I heard her panic voice "Bhabhi!" She cried. "Bhabhi please aap yaha aajao."
