🦢 Aankhein kitaabi tu khole to padhlu,
Kajal si likkhi chappi kahaniya teri mere saiyaan 🦢"Chalo Maya. Aur kitni der?" Arjun called for his wife as he glanced at the time on the watch sitting on his wrist.
Come on Maya. How much longer?
"Bas 2 minute dijeye." Came Maya's reply from the walk-in closet.
Just give me 2 minutes.
Arjun huffed as he knew Maya is going to take way more than just 2 minutes. If they don't leave in another 20 minutes, they will surely be late for Aashna's parent-teacher meeting.
It has been 5 months since they got married and the first couple of weeks went by in finding their rhythm as a couple. They gradually settled into their married life and understood their relationship as time passed.
Maya had settled well into the role of a responsible wife to Arjun and a nurturing mother to Aashna. The nature of her job allowed her to dedicate her whole attention towards her new life. Her morning starts with taking care of Arjun's pre-workout snack, getting things ready for him before he leaves for his office and cooking breakfast for him sometimes. She also prepares him lunch and sends it to the office in the afternoon.
She then tends to Aashna; getting her ready for school, having breakfast with her and sending her off. When Aashna returns from school, she helps the little girl in doing her homework and plays with her. Once, she's asleep around 8 pm, Arjun arrives. The couple eats their dinner together, sharing their daily activities and chatting on some light hearted topics.
Arjun had started to make space for Maya in his personal life. He had started to open up to her and share things with her, be it from his legal or illegal business. It felt nice to be able to talk to someone about what was going on in his mafia organisation. He of course filters out whatever he thinks is unnecessary for Maya to hear, like gory details or miniscule information about things. Maya always listened carefully to him as if it were the most interesting talk in the world. She would also remember almost everything he said.
Maya was always concerned about Arjun's safety whenever he would leave for a meeting in his illegal business. Maya had started to ask him to send her texts about how the meetings went. Arjun did forgot a couple of times in the beginning but in that case Maya would text or call him inquiring about his wellbeing.
After a month, Arjun realised just how much he likes these simple text exchanges between him and his wife. He had ever since made a habit of texting about his every meeting to her. He would even text her if he'd gotten any new contract or had signed a deal with a company in his legal business. Maya would always congratulate him and make some kind of sweet dish to celebrate the same. He loved these small gestures from his wife.
