His Grumpy Wife

Shaadi ki Shehnai

ALISHA'S POV

The clock must have struck midnight by the time we were all settled in the guest room. My arms were adorned with intricate henna designs, and the artist was working her magic on my legs. The delicate swirls and paisleys were a testament to her skill, and I couldn't stop admiring them. Everyone else had their mehndi done, me being the last one since, well, brides tend to take a little longer.

Suddenly, Aniket appeared beside me, a plate of steaming hot paneer tikkas in hand. He began playfully feeding me, earning a chorus of giggles from his cousins and earning a teasing remark from one of his cousins.

"Bhai abhi se hei joruke Ghulam ban gayein hein," the cousin snickered.

Shlok, snorted back, "At least Bhai has someone to give him the green light. Unlike all of you!"

Aniket, unfazed by the playful jabs. being, ever the charmer, he  reached for my cheeks and squeezed them playfully. The playful gesture sent a few loose strands of hair escaping my messy bun. I huffed in frustration, blowing them out of my face but failing miserably.

"Anikettttt yaarrrrrrr!" I growled playfully, my voice laced with mock annoyance.

He raised his hands like surrendering and accepting his defeat and started giggling, like can you imagine a grown ass man giggling. I present you MR ANIKET NALINI MAHESHWARI giggling like a teenager! It was a sight to behold.

With a gentle touch, he tucked the loose strands back into my bun, whispering a soft, "Sorry, darling," in my ear. His voice, a deep husky rumble .The sound sent shivers down my spine, momentarily transporting me to a world of butterflies and fantasies. Lost in a world of my own fantasies, I didn't hear the loud cough that shattered the moment.

Aniket looked at me with concern, his voice straight . "Everyone out," he declared in a firm voice. Like well-oiled puppets, everyone scurried out of the room, leaving us alone.

He knelt before me, carefully lifting my arms above the henna designs to avoid smudging them.

 "kya hua Alisha ji apkhoi khoi si lag rehi hai sab theek hain na kuch baat hui hai kya bataoye nakya hua hum abhi sab thik kar denge bass ap ek adesh de dijiye" he pleaded, his voice so soft I almost couldn't hear him. 

So, this is ANIKET NALINI MAHESHWARI for you guys bhai banda pura ka pura package deal hai isse pata hai ki kaise kya bolna hai and kab bolna hai Man! I love him! But shush unhe abhi kuch batana nahi hai 

"kya hua Alisha ji baataiye na kuch galti hogayi humse ap hume maaf kar dijiye lijiye hum apke liye uthak baithak kar letein hei" he said 

"Aniket, sweetheart, everything is fine," I reassured him with a wide smirk. "hume hum toh bass apkotad rehe the aur soch rehe the ki ap kitne hot hain."

He feigned hurt, his lower lip forming a small pout. "Oh Alisha ji, you scared me for a moment!" he paused his voice taking a serious edge "But on a serious noteAlisha ji agar apko abhi shaadi karne se takleef ho rehi hai toh hum rukjaatein hein hum koi dikkat nahi hai hum apni puri jindagi apke liye wait karneke liye taiyar hain"

"Oh no, my love," I chuckled, placing a small kiss on his cheek. " janemaanhum apko itna intezaar nahi karwayenge chinta na karein hum koi double thoughtsnahi aa rehein hein hum kafi ache se clear hain ki hume apke sath rahena haisamjhe app."

Our eyes locked, a silent promise hanging heavy in the air. We leaned closer, anticipation crackling between us. Just as our lips were about to meet, a jarring knock on the door shattered the magic.
