Part 9

Mini woke up in the morning and got ready and she became busy in her daily routine. She brought coffee for Neil at the usual time. Neil was awake by then. 

"I am really sorry for my behavior yesterday." Neil replied as he took coffee cup from her. Mini looked at him surprised by the apology. 

"See I know you love me a lot but I need some time to accept you fully into my life. I know I consummated this marriage but what happened was not planned at all. I still feel we have a long way to go before taking that step again. I hope you understand." Neil said honestly what was in his mind. Mini just nodded in yes. 

Though she had understood his feelings but couldn't stop herself from feeling sad. Yesterday when he made love to her she thought that he was ready to accept her whole heartedly but she was proved wrong. She longed for his affection and love. 

"Say something" Neil requested seeing Mini silent. 

"I think it will be better if we don't share bed till you are ready to accept me." Mini could only manage to say this. Neil nodded in agreement. 

Since that day things become normal between them. Mini as usual followed her routine, did all her wifely duties and daily chores without expecting anything in return Neil on the other hand was growing close to her emotionally but didn't show his feelings.

Few days passed like this. One such night they again had an intimate moment when Mini came out of bathroom in her bathrobe thinking Neil was not in the room as she last saw him in the garden with papaji. She was standing in the changing room she didn't bother to close its door as she thought she was alone in the room. She took out her night dress and removed her bathrobe when Neil entered there. Though she had immediately pulled her bathrobe back but still couldn't stop the inevitable as Neil had come close to her and had kissed her passionately. His phone has rang at that time bringing him out of trance ending the beautiful moment. Neil had again realized his mistake and left saying sorry and she had cried herself to sleep feeling rejected by him once again.

Mini brought coffee for Neil next morning but she saw Neil was still sleeping. She remembered he was so tired from office yesterday maybe that's why he overslept. She came forward to wake him but stopped as she remembered what happened last night. She placed the cup at the corner table and called him few times to wake him up but he didn't respond. She didn't want to go near him so she took the cup again and went outside. Mini gave the cup to Sharda and asked her to wake up Neil and give it to him. 

"Why don't you give it to him?" asked Sharda confused. 

"Mumma called me in the morning. She wanted to talk with me regarding something important so I am going to my house." Mini lied and went from there quickly before Sharda could ask more questions. Sharda kept looking her for sometime as she wondered what happened to her suddenly?

Sharda went and woke up Neil. He opened his eyes sleepily and the first thing he saw was his mother standing there holding his coffee cup. He closed his eyes again thinking he must be having some kind of dream. As in only few days he was so habituated to see Mini's face the very first thing in the morning. Mini's face...her beautiful face and wet hair and that freshly bathed fragrance...the sound of her bangles and anklets...and that melodious voice in which she calls him lovingly, "Neil...uth jaiye subah ho gayi aap late ho jayenge office ke liye." He smiled in his sleep remembering her words.
