SHIVANI'S POV
"Arey waah beta, tumhari mehandi ka rang tho bohot dark aaya hai, lagta hai raksh tumhe bohot pyaar se rakhega." I recall chachi's words, feeling a blush rise up my neck, Subconsciously playing with the ring Rudraksh gave me today.
Translation- Wow beta, your heena's color is too dark, seems like Raksh will love you a lot.
It was a wonderful, joyous function, everyone was dancing and smiling, I could ignore my parents as I was busy interacting with my in laws. I also met Rudraksh's childhood friends, Aryan ji and Siddhant ji, they were both nice to me but kept teasing Rudraksh in front of me, but I think I had more effect then him, they're very shameless I must admit but when maa called me and I was about to leave them, what they said almost made me cry,
Bhabhi, if ever you feel, you can't go to someone, or you need any kind of help, you can always rely on us. Even if we have to fight against Raksh, we will.
I have never had any brother, but I have always wanted one. And now suddenly I have three, Aarav has grown up a lot on me, in just two days, when I was meeting the relatives at the function and I needed saving because I am not good at communication and they just ask stupid questions especially my side of relatives, I just had to signal to him and he would appear in a second and take me out of there. Well it was his proposal and it worked most of the time. And so I am thankful to have him and now Aryan Ji and Siddhant ji too.
My phone rings bringing me out of my thoughts, and seeing it's Rudraksh who's calling me, my heart beat increases. "Hi bhabhi, Aryan here! Did you know, Rudraksh is being rude right now, I just want to eat Momos, he's not letting me order it." I am disappointed when I hear Siddhant ji's voice from the other side. But I am confused as to why is he calling me at this time in night and why does he have Rudraksh's phone.
"Okay enough Sid, give me the fucking phone." I hear bickering between them, and it's amusing to hear these three grown men fight like children. A laugh escapes my lips unknowingly. And then there's silence on the other side. After a moment, I hear Rudraksh say hi and my heart flutters again. What the hell is wrong with me I don't understand.
"Hi" I reply back. I don't really know what to say. "Those two are drunk, they have eaten a pizza, pasta, noodles and if they eat anymore I will have to see them puke which is the last thing I want to do right now." He says, and then scolds them again for some file they were peeking into and how it is important. I can't help but laugh at his situation. I hate drinks because whenever my parents are drunk they become more aggressive but it seems like it can have good effect too sometimes.
"Are you laughing at me meri jaan?" Rudraksh says, his voice sounding raspy which sends shivers down my spine. "N-no, I was just-... It was.. -" "It's okay, you can always laugh at me shivani." He says gently, "you have a beautiful laugh." He says increasing my heartbeat. He so casually comments on my smile and I will be here sitting like an idiot thinking about this moment for hours.
"Anyways, why are you still up, it's past midnight, shouldn't you be asleep?" He asks. How do I tell him that right now I am in my bed writing a mafia romance in my notebook in which the male lead is making a library for the female lead just because she loves to read books, my parents don't like it that I write so they have cloned my phone and laptop, so whatever I do they know, I can't read e books or write my own stories, and what if Rudraksh is like that too, what if he feels that his wife writes books, smutty books, and that it isn't appropriate for his reputation, I can't share any of this with him.
"Couldn't sleep. Why aren't you asleep?" Yeah that's a good response right, short and simple. "I am not a heavy sleeper usually too because of my work, but today apparently I am on babysitting duties." He sighs.
A small smile creeps up on my lips, "should I give you an idea?" I ask carefully. "You don't have to ask. Go on." He says. "You could just lock them in the room and go and sleep somewhere else." I suggest. there's a long pause, I think I said too much. I should apologize.
"Wow, I am shocked that my bholi dikhne wali biwi has such terrifying ideas." He says, I can hear the smile in his voice, "anyways, can't do that, it's my office, I don't want them to tear away my files. But the idea was good." He says and then adds, "I wouldn't have let them out for 2 days, no food, no water, for annoying me and ruining my night.
Translation- Wow, I am shocked that my innocent wife has such terrifying ideas
"That's too much. You shouldn't be so harsh on them." I interject. Bohot zubaan chalne lagi hai meri. I hit myself on head.
Translation- I have started speaking too much.
"You're supposed to be on my team, I am your husband." He says. "Nahi hai." I reply.
Translation- you're not.
"Excuse me?" He says and continues, "kya nahi hai?"
Translation- what am I not?
"Aap mere pati nahi hai." I state and then add before he takes me wrongly, "abhi hamari shaadi nahi hui na.
Translation- you're not my husband, we are not married yet.
"Tum bologi tho abhi kar lunga." Ughh. Why is he like this. Why does he have to flirt so much. This is what I want to say but obviously I don't. I feel ny face heat up. Translation- if you say, we can marry now
"Aap bhi na." I manage to say. He chuckles lightly, and then we both stop talking, I can hear his soft breathing so I know he's still there, it's not an awkward silence.
"Tum thik hona?" Rudraksh asks suddenly, my breathe catches in my throat. Why would he ask that, I won't say I am absolutely okay, I have a bruise on my thigh from hitting the table when my father threw me around today because I was smiling and talking too much, I am supposed to stay quite give small smiles, if my mother wouldn't have interjected he would have hit me more but then she said I am going to marry soon and they don't want anyone finding bruises on me. He gave me a final warning before leaving the room that if I breathe a single word about all this to anyone I would be dead meat. I shudder as I remember his look, but all that is normal, it happens almost everyday so I am okay I think.
Translation- you're okay right?
"Haa, mai thik hu, aap?" I finally say. He doesn't speak for a minute but then he says, "bas do din aur shivani fir tum meri aur mai tumhara. bas do din aur."
Translation- yeah I am okay, you?
Two more days shivani, then you'll be mine and I will be yours. Just two more day.
