Next morning

Dhruvi

Seriously all I wanted was a peace in my life but now I am getting ready for something which is useless and that too at 6 a.m of the morning .
I just did simple make-up and wore a kurti because I couldn't bear both the heat and the morning's drama.
When I came out of the room, I met aunty (Atharva's mom), who looked at me carefully and then made a face as if she was not satisfied .

"Beta , I know you don't like wearing heavy dresses but still it's your first time going out with your husband. You should wear something which will show you are newly wed couple . I told Atharva too to wear Kurta . " She said with a smile but all i wanted was to sink in the ground .

(Indian aunties aur unke chochle 🙂)

I wanted to say something but ignore it and went to change again . Agh !! Now I understood what Atharva meant when he said he will make my life hell. This is really so shitty. Indian marriages and tantrums .
I was in room when I heard shower's sound .
Wasn't I close the tap ? Oh god this all things are making me forget everything .

Atharva

I knocked on the door but no one was there. I know what day came, I need permission to enter my own room. Earlier I get shower before she wake up but today she woke up early. Oh maybe she is in the kitchen or anywhere that means it will take time before she come. I am not even in the mood to face her now .
It was so refreshing in the shower but still my mind wandered what Dhruvi said last night. Why she is rude with me? I mean she knows why I am doing all this but why she blaming me? When did I play with her feelings ? I close my eyes and let the water sooth my body.
.......
Dhruvi noticed that the bathroom door was slightly ajar. Curiosity got the better of her, and she slowly pushed the door open.

To their surprise, Atharva and Dhruvi locked eyes in that intense moment. Dhruvi was taken aback and was about to scream in embarrassment, but before she could, Atharva quickly covered her mouth with his hand and turned her away from the shower. This sudden action caused Dhruvi to slip, and they both ended up under the shower, getting drenched. Her chest was in contact with Atharva's bare chest .
In that moment, time seemed to stand still as they looked into each other's eyes, their hearts racing.
As the water cascaded over them, . Dhruvi's heart was racing, filled with a mix of surprise, confusion, and . Atharva, on the other hand, felt a rush of adrenaline, not knowing how Dhruvi would react to this unexpected situation.
Slowly, Atharva removed his hand from Dhruvi's mouth, but their eyes remained locked and turn off the tap .
They stood there, drenched in water, their hearts pounding, and their eyes locked in a silent conversation.

Dhruvi broke the silence and asked Atharva " what you are doing here ? "

Atharva wiped his face with his hand , water dripping from his hair strand and realized he should have asked that question instead. He exclaimed, "Oh , I should have asked that before barging into the bathroom like this! How did you end up here?"

Dhruvi replied sarcastically , "Well, the lock wasn't working properly, and I heard the sound of the shower, so I thought I'd come in and surprise you."

Atharva cursed himself silently for forgetting to lock the door and replied, "Oh crap! I completely forgot to lock it. I was in such a rush, I didn't even think about it. I thought you would come in later."

"This is the problem you always think too much " She replied .

" Look, just forget this happened I am not in the mood to argue now . We are getting late . " Atharva suggested

" First time , I want to agree with you. Now you change . I am going " She was about to go when Atharva held her wrist.

" What now ? " She said turning back .

"Don't go in room , the water droplets will create a mess and you also don't want that ." He advised .

" Ofcourse but cause of you only I am wet now " She replied .

" Ahm" Atharva cleared his throats.

( double meaning sochta h ☠️)

" I.. .I mean I am like this but what will I do now .Be like this and when I will get dry then enter the room ? " She was embrassed.

" I will change then I will bring you clothes now turn back "He said .

" Why? " She asked curiously.

" So what you want me to change in front of you ? Just go at the corner and turn back " He replied

Dhruvi face was flushed she turn back and wait for him .

after a while

" Ok done and now I am going to get you clothes " He said and went outside.

" What the , He didn't even asked me what clothes I want " She mumbled .

So, Atharva went to get Dhruvi's clothes from his closet, but he remembered the day he told Dhruvi not to keep her clothes there. Instead, he went to her suitcase and found a random piece of clothing on top. Without thinking too much, he awkwardly handed it to Dhruvi, along with her essential items.

As he was about to leave the room, Dhruvi noticed that the clothes Atharva brought weren't what she had wanted." This is not what I want , it's difficult to wear " She said
. Atharva, on the other hand, couldn't understand why it was so challenging for her to wear the clothes he had found. He simply suggested, "It's just a piece of clothing, why is it so difficult? Just wear what I found for you."

While Atharva was combing his hair, he overheard Dhruvi's voice suggesting that he should ask a female person for help. Confused, He asked
"if there is some problem? you changed the clothes ?
and Dhruvi replied " Yes I had already changed my clothes."

Atharva decided to enter the room and asked what the issue was. Dhruvi turned around and said, "The problem is that the zipper on the suit won't close."

Atharva cleared his throat and replied " Oh sorry ,I will call someone "
. Dhruvi exclaimed " It's not the right time for this now and if you come you should help me and its not a TV show where I will panic over such a small thing."

Atharva hesitated but offered to help by trying to zip up the suit. Unfortunately, the zipper got stuck and ended up breaking .

" Agh . I mean seriously this was the least I expected . I told you Its difficult to wear this and now you broke the zipper also " She exclaimed frustatedly .
She went outside when Atharva's mother came . She was about to say something when she noticed Atharva too existed from the bathroom .

A smile appear on her face " I think I should come later "

" No no its ok . Do you want something aunty ? " Dhruvi asked .

" It was getting late so I came to call you and ask you to wear saree but if you are ready then let's go . " She said .

" Oh yeah " Dhruvi was about to go when Atharva held her waist and pulled her to himself carefully and said " No , we will come after some minutes "

Dhruvi was confused and she was trying to get rid of his hand .

" Are you dumb ? You forgot your dress situation? " Atharva whispered to Dhruvi ..

Dhruvi realised and said " Yes aunty he is right "

Atharva's mother nodded, her smile grew more and she was happy to see them like this .

(Aunty kuch bhi mt socho bhai 🥲)

She went and Atharva took his hand off from Dhruvi . " Now go and change" He said but Dhruvi glared him .

" Cause of you I have to change for the third time now . Ugh just hate this things " she said irritatedly making a cry baby face

A small smile on his face seeing her like this , whenever she ger irritated she act like a kid .
