Poonam opened her eyes feeling sunrays on her face, her eyes landed on the figure beside her. She was able to see his face now, he looked like a silent ocean, so quiet and calm. Unknowingly she moved closer to his face and softly touched his hair and then moved her hand on his face but before she could touch his cheeks, she felt him hovering over her while cupping her neck in reflex but before he could tighten his hold, her scream made him open his eyes.
Poonam shut her eyes being scared but opened her eyes, when didn't feel tightness around her neck and found him staring at her. Their eyes were locked with each other, no one was saying anything but still their eyes were talking with each other. Kaushal leaned towards her neck and sniffed her fragrance.
Poonam closed her eyes, feeling his hot breath in her neck area. she gasped when she felt him sucking her neck. "mmmmh" She moaned unknowingly, making him lose his control. He left her neck and locked her lips with his and started kissing her passionately.
Poonam widened her eyes but soon started enjoying the kiss, she let him do whatever he wanted. After sucking her lips for some seconds, he left her lips with a smooch sound. They gasped for breath as their eyes met again but this time Poonam looked away because she was so shy to look at him and he smirked, enjoying her reaction.
"Aaj raat taiyaar rehna, aur mein tujhe dard nhi dunga" Kaushal stated softly before going to the washroom.
(Be ready tonight and I'll not hurt you)
Poonam looked at his retreating figure and covered her face with her palms while blushing. She had her first kiss today and it was more than perfect, then she remembered Renu's words and understood that she got pranked and made herself fool in front of him.
About 30 minutes later, Kaushal walked out from the washroom and looked at her, who was busy selecting her saree for today. He went near her and softly whispered in her ears "wo hari wali pehan, achi lagegi tujhpe"
(Wear that green one, it will suit you)
Poonam flinched seeing him behind her. She quickly picked the green one and directly ran to the washroom, Kaushal chuckled at her acts.
Poonam walked out of the washroom after 30 minutes. She found the room empty and felt relieved. She quickly got ready for the day and went downstairs.
Poonam walked towards the kitchen after doing her daily worship and prayers. She met with sweaty Usha there who was making rotis for breakfast and beside her Kashish was making sabji(curry). She greeted them by touching their feet and asked if she could help.
"Beta tu uth gayi, mujhe toh lga aaj kamre se aayegi hi nhi. Chal aaj ke liye maaf kiya, par kal se jaldi uthna aur ab aa idhar aur kuch mitha bna de" Usha devi said in an irritated voice.
(Dear, you woke up. i thought you'd not come out of your room today. Fine, I forgive you for today but make sure to not do this again. Now come and make some sweet dishes)
Poonam startled at her tone and nodded her head being scared. She quickly started making Malpua & Moong dal ka halwa and about an hour later, she was done with the sweet dish with the help of Kashish and by that time, Usha had already left the kitchen.
Poonam served food to men and women of the house standing in the corner of the dining room, waiting for their husbands to complete eating, so they could also have their food.
Men finished their breakfast and went to their respective works. Ladies cleaned the table and served themselves, they talked about some random things while eating. Rajni and Usha left for their rooms after finishing their breakfast quickly.
Now only young ladies were eating and suddenly Renu asked Poonam, "Poonam, wese raat mein jada dard hua kya ?"
(Poonam, does it hurt a lot at night ?)
Others also looked at her with a smirk, making her cheeks turn crimson red.
"Haan Haan, btao hume ?" Kashish teased.
(Yeah yeah, tell us ?)
Poonam shook her head in denial and muttered "nahi, unhone kuch nhi kiya"
(No, he didn't do anything)
Others frowned upon this and asked her for context and then she told them how scared she got when Renu told her about those things and how he consoled her.
"Hume maaf kardo, hume nhi pta tha, ki tum itna dar jaogi" Renu apologized.
(I'm sorry, I didn't know you'll get that much scared)
"Aage se dhyan rkhna Renu" Kashish said sternly.
(Be careful next time)
"Sorry bhabhi, Sorry Poonam" Renu muttered.
"Are koi ni. wese bhi, aap ki wajah hume ye toh pata chla ki, Kaushal ji itne bure nahi hai, jitna log unhe kehte hai" Poonam stated.
(Hey it's okay, because of you i got to know that Kaushal isn't that bad like how people describe him)
Kashish smiled at her and said, "Kaushal ko bahut gussa aata hai, aur uska ek karan bhi hai jo humein se kisiko nhi pta, par wahi dil ke bure nahi hai, bs gussa jada krte hai"
(Kaushal has anger issues and there's a reason behind this which no one of us knows. He isn't that bad but he just loses his temper in anger)
Poonam nodded at her and smiled. Others also agreed with what Kashish said and told her how he helped them sometimes and he's better than other males of this family. When they were done eating, they decided to go to their rooms and rest.
Poonam told Kashish that she wanted her advice on something, so they went to Kashish's room. Kashish asked her, "Kya hua, kya janana hai ?"
(What happened, what do you want to know ?)
"Didi, wo..aj na, wo" Poonam hesitated.
(Sister, that....today he)
"Ghabrao mat aur behichak bolo" Kashish assured her.
(Don't worry and say it without hesitating)
"Wo..aj wo keh rahe the ki, wo humare rishte ko aage badana chahte hai" Poonam said in one breath.
(He...today he said that he wants to take our relationship to the next level)
Kashish looked at her and nodded her head and asked, "toh, tum kya chahti ho ?"
(So, what do you want?)
Poonam gulped and replied, "Main nhi janti, matlab mujhe pata hai unka mujhpe pura haq hai, pr mein dar rhi hun. Meine aaj tak kabhi kisi ladke ko us nazar se nahi dekha"
(I don't know, I mean I know he has every right to touch me but I'm scared. I never looked at any guy with this kind of intentions)
Kashish stayed quiet for a minute and then said, "dekho mein tumhe samaj skti hun, jab meri bhi inse shadi hui toh, mein bhi dar rahi thi , par pata hai, inhone mujhe samjhaya aur wada kiya ki wo meri izzat krenge aur mere sath kabhi bhi zabardasti nhi krenge. Pta nhi kyu, sayad maa ne kha is wajah YA khud dil ne awaj di, par us din maine khudko unhe saup diya aur mujhe us baat koi dukh nahi hai, kyuki wo meri abhi bhi utni hi izzat krte hai, jitni pehle karte the. Aur mujhe lagta hai, ki tumhe bhi apne dil ki baat sunni chahiye, agar tumhara dil gwahi de, toh saup do khud ko aur na de toh mana kardo unhe aur Kal raat ke baad toh tum bhi janti ho ki, wo kabhi bhi tumhe dukh nahi denge"
(See, I can understand you. When I got married to
Dhruvji,
I was also scared but Dhruvji consoled me. Do you know what he said to me? He said that he'll always respect me and will never force me for anything. I don't know if it was because of my mother's words or my heart's but that day I gave myself to him and I don't regret it, because he still respects me like he used to do years ago. And i think you should also listen to your heart, if your heart allows you for it then give yourself to him and if it doesn't then say him NO. and after yesterday's night, you also know that he'll never hurt you)
