"Sailee... Sailee ... yeh Sailee" his booming voice from across living room was enough for her to stop daydreaming about her husband who now, takes stand for her against his mother and shows his concern for her openly.
She rushed out of her room to see why his voice carried such an impatience.
"Kya hua ? Kyu chilla rahe ho ? Khana laga Doon ? Bhuk lag rahi hogi na ? Aaj bohot der hogai " Asked Sailee without taking a moment to breathe.
"Tambha tambh.. yeh Bina break ke gaadi ke mafik kyun sawal kar rahi hai ? Saans-vans le na thoda beech beech mai " said Sachin taking his time to gather his guts to do what he wanted to do rather show to his wife.
"Kya hua ? Kaha kho gaye ?" asked Sailee to find her no-filter husband ever, silent.
"Kya hai na.. woh.. woh.. mein kuch laya hai tere liye ..." Sachin takes deep breath to calm his nerves while sailee just looks on confused.
"Kal pooja hai na tumhari .. aur kal aai ne us bagodi maina ke heroine ko bhi nayi nayi Saadi laake dee par tere liye ek rumaal bhi laake nahi diya.. mujhe achha nai laga.. isiliye woh.. woh.. mein tere liye saare leke aaya hai dukaan se". Yes , he finally told what he wanted to say.. yet his foolish heart is beating fast like dhol during ganpati bappas visarjan.
Now what's wrong he thought. His heart immediately replied "because you want her to like the saree you give her you fool! " Aaah, this is what is bothering him finally realisation dawned on him.
Meanwhile Sailee was shocked initially , then happy and then she felt something ... something inside her stomach for the first time .. it was like a lot of butterflies flying all inside her stomach.
She could not just believe.. her husband of 3 months who in the early days of marriage asked her not to bother him with their saas-bahu dramas, is not only now willingly part taking but is supporting her in this drama.
She further thought if just gifting a saree by him gives her such a feeling what would she feel when he actually try to be intimate with her.. Sailee quickly snapped out of her treacheous thoughts and blushed a deep red.
Sachin saw various emotions flying through her eyes first shock, happiness and finally desire ?! Huh ! "Desire" no.. he thought his overactive mind and heart is toying with him. He was growing impatient by seconds and quickly called out for sailee to open the neatly wrapped box.
Sailee opened it carefully without tearing the wrapper. She was definitely going to save this gift wrapper , box also the cello tapes she decided. She finally was done with unwrapping in over 5 mins and slowly opened the box. It was yellow Saree with pink border. It was definitely going to be the most beautiful saree she ever possessed.
"Kaisi lagi ? Achi hai ? Pasand aaya ?" quick question were shot at her by her husband.
All she could do was immediately hug him tightly with one hand on box and other encircling his waist. They stayed like that for a minute or two before Sachin broke the hug.
"Woh .. Kya Haina, Shaadi wale din bhi tu yehi rang ki saree pheni tee par us din tere chehre se rang ud gaya tha.. toh Socha phir se woh lamha jee lete hai. Woh kya kehte hai angrezi mai moment recreational karte hai "
Sailee quickly corrected him "re-create .. recreational nai " her eyes lit up and happy tears flowing through her eyes ..
"Bol na.. acchi nai lagi.. ro kyun rahi hai.. achhi nai hai toh return karege na aaapun log.. tension mat le.. koi zabardasti nai hai " Sachin tried to hide his disappointed and wiped her tears away.
"Arrey nai nai.. bohot bohot Sundar hai.. mujhe bohot achi lagi. Woh yeh toh kushi ke aason hai.." Sachin took a deep breath which he unknowingly was holding back.
"Mujhe na saree se zyada tum ne aaj meri parwa ki na usse zyada kushi mili.. thank you " she hugged him again and this time Sachin held her tightly feeling relaxed and peaceful.
"uss din shayad mere chere se rang ud gaya ho lekin woh tum ho jisne mere berang Zindagi .. rang bi-rangi kar dee Sachin. Bappa tera lakh lakh shukriya ki us din Tejas ki jagah Sachin se Meri Shaadi ho gayi .. " she spoke to herself knowing very well how her husband is still getting accustomed to her physical or emotional moments.
Sailee was posing for photo with saree lying on her shoulder and Sachin happily clicking her away with his eyes promising that he will do anything and everything to never let happiness fade from her face as long as he lives here on.
That's how aaji and Paresh found them later in living room unaware of their presence and lost in thoughts of each other and smile on their lips.
