A Love Like Theirs (Prem Preeti One shots)

Their Eternal Love

Prem woke up to the soft jingling of her bangles, and slowly opened his eyes to behold the breathtaking beauty of his newly wed wife. She looked ethereal in her light pink saree, her chooda-adorned hands stained with the dark hues of mehendi. Memories of the previous night flooded his mind – the way he held those delicate hands tightly, the intoxicating aroma of henna filling his senses. Her gentle caresses had soothed him to sleep after a long, tiring day at work. This, he thought, was the essence of marital bliss.

"Itni jaldi kyu uth gye....abhi subah ke 4 bhi nhi baje hai" She asked, raising her brows at him.

He got up from the bed, pulling her close, his morning voice low and husky, "Tumse naraaz hu mai".

She raised her eyes to meet his gaze, trying to wriggle free of his grip,"Aur wo kyu?".

His grip on her waist tightened,"Kahaa tha na tumse mujhe bhi utha dena", He said, cupping her face, placing soft feathery kisses on her cheek.

Butterflies...naah...she felt the entire zoo in the stomach.

This man knows how to make her heart flutter even with his tiniest ministrations.

She crossed her arms around his neck, raising on her toes, pecked his nose, "Maine bhi kahaa tha na koi zarurat nhi hai fast rakhne ki."

"Please Preeti, maine kahaa na mai sachme tumhare liye vrat rakhna chahta hu" He pleaded.

"Tum bhookhe rahoge mujhe achha nhi lagega na", her voice laced with concern.

"Theek hai phir tum bhi mere liye vrat nhi rakhogi and that is final."

She sighed loudly. This ziddi husband of hers.

"Achha theek hai....but sabse kya kahenge... Sab chidhayenge"

Prem rolled his eyes "As if waise koi kasar chhod dete hain hume chidhane ki" and he continued under his breath "...aur disturb krne ki".

"Achha chhodo ab mujhe late ho rha hai sargi ke liye". He unwillingly let her go as she nudged him towards the bathroom to take the shower.

"Jaate ho chup chap nahane ya mai...mai..." Before she could think of a suitable sentence he mischievously added "kya mai....aa rhi ho andar mujhe nehlane"?

Her eyes popped out.

Her cheeks crimson.

"Tum...tum pagal ho gye ho".

"Haan...apni biwi ke pyaar me" He said kissing her cheek as he moved towards the washroom winking at her stupefied figure.

Preeti hurried downstairs, to find all the ladies engrossed in lively chatter.

Maa smiled at her warmly holding her hand, "Aa gyi beta Tera hi intezar kar rhe the" as she offered her the plate full of delicacies, "Tera pehla karwa chauth haina...to teri sargi aur shagun".

Preeti bent down to touch her feet but instead maa enveloped her in a hug instead, "Betiyaan paer nhi chhoti... Aise hi humesha khush raho."

As Maa left, Sadhna Bhabhi asked,"Der kaise ho gyi Preeti...neend nhi khuli?"

Sangeeta winked at her, "Nayi nayi shaadi hui hai bhabhi.... Inki neend kahaa jaldi khulti hai aajkal".

Preeti closed her eyes, shaking her head with a sheepish smile as Sadhna Bhabhi and Sangeeta burst into laughter, their teasing glances sparkling with amusement.

To her rescue, Vivek Bhaiya entered with a crying Vansh, diverting the attention, and took Sadhna Bhabhi along.

Preeti thanked her stars as Sangeeta sent her to have the sargi in her room.
