My Goddess

MAHA

As we reached to my in-law's home in our village. All the time Agastya was beside me in the back seat and driver drove us to his house. When we reached, like gentlemen he is, came to open the door for me and gave his hand for me to hold. I took his hand and got down.

As we neared the main door. Mama was standing there with a arthi plate in his hand making me smile widely.
He rotated the plate around the both of us and welcomed us inside. We settled in the living room and a maid brought us water to drink. I smiled at her politely and took a glass of water.

" Lakshmi change youself in comfortable clothes and take rest for two hours ma. after eating lunch we will leave to Coimbatore"

mama said making me nod

but where should I stay? I know that before our first night we shouldn't be in same room.

Thinking about our first night itself make me flip my stomach upside down.

seeing my confusion,

"don't worry ma,abhinav will show you the guest room and your luggage is already placed there so take rest there and karthi?"

he said to me and after seeing me nod, he turned to Agastya who is again engrossed in his phone.

I really don't know what he is seeing in that dummy phone huh? is it more interesting than me?

"yes appa"

he said keeping his phone aside. hmm good for him

" you also take rest and I shouldn't see you working now also. is that clear?"

he said in his stren voice that I am hearing for the first time. he silently nodded and went from there not before giving me last look making my cheeks go red by his one look.

Then Abhinav showed me the guest room, I changed myself in a simple light weight saree and slept immediately when my body hit the mattress. I am damn tired.

After like eternity, a maid came and woke me up saying mama is calling me downstairs. I said ok and freshen up and got ready and darkened the vermillion in my hair line and saw myself in the mirrir.

I look different in a good way of course. Nuptial chain in my neck and vermillion in my hairline make me look attractive and beautiful? I don't know.

Keeping aside my thoughts I went down and greeted mama and Abhinav who was sipping something. tea I precises.

"come Lakshmi. did you rest well?"

he asked

"yes mama I did."

I replied nodding

"good. we both ate  our lunch just now. you wait for karthi to come then you both can eat together"

he said making my heartbeat go rapid.

Eating together with him? in the morning while eating breakfast itself I was feeling somersault in my stomach. now I don't know what is going to happen now.

And still now we both didn't exchange a word to each other. I thought I am the most introvert person in the world but I found someone who is more introvert than me. I don't know how I am going to live with this man.

soon Agastya desended the stairs making my heart skip a beat. if I would have said he is delicious in traditional then in casuals he is mouth watering.

mouth watering? is that even a compliment? I think it is
