Chef's Kiss

27. Tension

Amrita
"Listen Mrs.Amrita Vijay Thakur, my wife and only mine I was hesitant at first about you but past few days you have made me feel helpless me The Vijay Thakur felt helpless and last night was it . Even you gave me your permission so remember it very fucking clearly once again YOU ARE MY WIFE AND ONLY MINE if any other men comes within 5 inch near you ,will be burried 5 feet under the ground."

I think I have learnt the paragraph by now considering the number of times it got repeated in my head after coming out from his room. Specially the part where he calls me not Mrs. Thakur or fiancee like he usually does but he called me by my official full name after tomorrow, Mrs. Amrita Vijay Thakur .

I am short of words I can't explain my feelings. I don't know what to do , what to say and above that tomorrow's stress is eating me up. It's not easy to get married and definitely not when you marry someone you barely know. But still I get baffled by him everytime he calls me by different nicknames. He is not to close to me but everytime I am with him I feel comfortable,relaxing like all the tension leaves me as if they are afraid of him.

I was too nervous and stressed that I couldn't fall asleep even for a bit I turned around to see the situation of Riya and Payal, (Yeah Riya has been staying with me and Payal after she got sick ) they were both sleeping like a new born hugging each other. I smiled at the cute scenario and got up silently so as to not wale them up , grabbed my phone and shawl and went to the balcony. I looked over the garden there was sitting are in front of me and few different types of fairy lights glowing .

The scenario made me want to go there so I came out of the balcony tiptoed to the mini fridge picked up a beer can and again tiptoed to the door . As soon as I came out I headed straight towards the sitting area .

I seated myself comfortably opened the beer can , took the first sip as the cold breeze touched my face."Ufffff", I said as I breathed out . This felt so relaxing all that thoughts and stress were taken away by the breeze passing by me.

But one thing was missing a good song. I quickly opened my phone , went to the music app and played my favourite Arijit Singh playlist. Perfect!! I closed my eyes and hummed with the music when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

I shiver ran down my spine , I didn't open my eyes.Even though it was a little late for someone to be here but the security here is very tight so outsiders can't be here . Then Who??

"Beta, ato rate ki korcho ekhane?"
(What are doing here so late?)

Ohh Wait!!! I know this voice , I slowly opened my eyes and yes "Babi" I shouted while looking at him. I could not spend too much time with him alone cause of the wedding so it felt nice to see him with out any pandit chanting mantras.

"Is this the time to have this?", He said as he sat down beside me . I looked at my hand and shittt the can I quickly hid it behind my back. "Aree Babi nothing like that I was just stressed and couldn't sleep so I came down." I said in my defence.

He laughed a little I never seen him laugh so happily after mumma's death. "You know when you used to get caught destroying your mumma's lipstick you used to hide them in your hand behind you" He said while smiling.

When he said that memories came back to me and automatically a smile appeared on my face. After we both finished our laughing session Babi brought his hand forward,"Now share."

I gave him a look "Are you asking alcohol from a doctor?". "Absolutely not, I am asking it from the person whom I taught how to drink before she became a doctor ",He replied in a sarcastic way.

I laughed at his statement, yes he was the person who gave me my first drink when I turned 18 . And his reason was that he doesn't want me to have my first drink with any boy except him. Awakard reason right?I thought too.

I handed him the can . He took a sip while I asked him if this days were too tiring for him. He nodded in no .

"Don't lie ", I said while raising my eyebrows. He took another sip ,"No I am not cause all my physical tiredness were overpowered by my mental happiness. My daughter is getting married and she is happy as a father I could wish for nothing more."

I suddenly got a little teary eyes we both were not looking at each other cause we both were in the same condition. I stopped the music and straighten up a bit and with all seriousness I finally said.

"Babi". "Hmmm", all his attention on me.
"You are not angry with me right? You are happy?"

He looked at me his expression soft "I was angry with you at first and even a little hesitant about you getting married so early. Ki janish baba toh bhoy hoy . But then again you are my daughter and before trusting anybody I should trust my teachings which I gave you. I knew my daughter is capable of making her own decisions and no matter what it is I will always be with you stand beside you."

Now the tears have started flowing down my cheeks. I have meet many types of people who were ready to clap at my miseries but God really balanced it out by giving me some of the bestest people ever existing. I quickly hugged him tightly he was caught by surprise but soon hugged me back.

"Babi, everything will be okay tomorrow right?", I asked while still hugging him. He patted my head slowly. "Yes everything will be okay and my daughter will make the prettiest bride tomorrow. One thing always remember dear you were are and will always be my daughter even if get married or is a doctor and my arms are always open for my love so don't ever hesitate." And he placed a kiss on head.

I hugged him for a few minutes more and then talked about things here and there before we got up and he walked back me to my room .
