Meant to be yours

The pool talk

Ishika's POV:

When I wake up, Anamika ji is not next to me. I wonder where she went at this time.
" Looking for me. " Anamika ji came out of the washroom  in her satin night robe .
" Yes. No. I mean " I stammer as she came and sat next to me.
" Yes or No" She smirked as she loosen her robe.
I gulped and looked at her when she placed my arms on her shoulders.
I don't know what took over me and I was clouded by lust as I removed her robe off her and pushed her to bed.
She is wearing a sexy black lingerie as I started to place kisses all around her neck, face and slowly made my way to her breasts.
Before I could suck on them, I was pushed by her. I fall on the ground with a thud.

I sat up abruptly and turned to see that Anamika ji is still asleep. It was a dream. But it felt so real.
I was flustered at that thought and I couldn't help but smile.
I came out as I was hungry and couldn't sleep after that wet dream. I tiptoed my way out as she seems to be sleeping peacefully.
I sensed someone's presence behind me and by the smell of perfume, I know who it was. Riya.

Riya's POV:

I woke up around 12 am midnight. Payal was sleeping on the couch. I felt bad for treating her bad . She doesn't deserve it.
She's been through a lot.

I wonder what will happen between us now that we knew eachother's reason for behaving like that. I really want to give our marriage a chance.
I caressed her cheeks gently as I thought about her. You are my first crush, Payal. I   have fallen for you the very moment I saw you. I was blinded by anger but the love I have for you never really gone. Hell, I can't even bear to see someone touching you or hugging you. You have been through a lot. I will make sure that you are not going to be sad at all. I love you, Payal.
I kissed her forehead and came out to find Ishu tiptoeing out of her room.  Where is she sneaking out?
I slowly got behind her. I covered her mouth with my one hand and hold her waist with other one.
" Ouch! " I whisper yelled as she bite my hand and let go of her. She turned and looked at me with a grin.
" You knew I was behind you the whole time. " I said as realisation dawned upon me.
" Yes. You're not sneaky enough. So, what are you doing here? " She asked as she heat the food in the oven.
" I can ask you the same. " I replied as I took a seat in the kitchen top.
" As you can see, I am hungry. Besides Anamika " She stopped as her cheeks flushed .
" Oh my god! You're having sexual thoughts about my sister. " I teased her as she put the food in two plates and pushed one in front of me.
" Just eat. " She mumbled as she didn't look up from her plate.
" It's not a bad thing, Ishu. She's your wife. With her on and off cold attitude, it's obvious you will want her. I can see that you like her a lot. Didn't you? " I asked her as I can see the way she looks at Anu.
" It's more than that. Why am I even talking with you?  I was supposed to be angry at you. " She said as I ponder her words.
More than that  .
" Ooh! Someone got it bad. You're smitten by your wife. Love. You have fallen for her. How on earth, she managed to do that? She didn't even try but here you are. Already in love. Anu is really lucky. " I said as I took the plates and cleaned up.
" We need to talk. " I took her hand and walked towards the swimming pool.
" I am sorry, Ishu. For everything. It's my fault. Not Anu's Or Payal's. Please don't be angry at Payal. She loves you a lot. " She tried to intervene but I stopped her.
" I know the love you both have is not  lovers kind of love. It's more than that. She accepted our marriage and asked me just one thing. "
Ishu looked at me in shock.
" She wanted to live with you in the same house. Do you know how worried she was when she heard about the car incident. So, please talk with her. Don't let your anger blind you. " I said as I took a sip from the beer I took on my way here.
" She told you. Didn't she? " Ishu asked me. I nodded .
" She doesn't deserve anything that happened with her . Her life became a mess because of her kindness. She let her life ruined for the promise she made to her best friend who now happens to be my wife.
So when she did it again on Anamika ji's insistence, it triggered anger in me. I will talk with her . " Ishu said as she looked at the sky.
" She probably didn't told you about how we met . We both met at the toughest time of our lives. I was going through a tough time due to sudden death of my mom and she well, Anshul's death and her lost baby. " Ishu stopped as  a tear rolled down her cheeks.
" It's ok. I promise you that I won't abuse or mock her. I will give her respect and as mush love as I can . I won't make her sad. It's my promise to you. " I said as I pulled her into a hug. She sniffled but but then let it be. She hugged me too.
" You know, if Anamika ji comes and sees us like this, you will be dead. What a sight it will be! " She chuckled as she leaned on my shoulder.
" You are so mean! " I splashed water on her face. She pouted adorably as I chuckled. She pushed me inside the pool when I least expect it.
I immediately pulled her in with me. We laughed as we both now completely drenched in water. She ducked me again and moved away from me. I tried to duck her.
" This is fun. " She said as she dodged me again.
" Ok. You win! " I held my hands up in surrender. She smiled and hugged me again.
" What's going on here? " Anu's voice made us froze. We looked at each other and then towards Anu.
She glared at us as she waited for us to come out.
" Looks like you get your wish to be fulfilled tonight. " I murmured at her ears.
" Do you think it's going to help? That woman is giving me smouldering look and I don't know why. " She whispers back.
" Maybe you should let go of Riya! " Payal said as she stand next to Anu.
I carried Ishu out of pool as she looks like she rooted on the spot.
" Do you have any idea of what will happen if your hand gets infected because of your reckless behavior? Are you a child? Don't you have any sense? It's night and you're playing in water. " Anu scolded Ishu as she immediately checked Ishu's hand.
" It's water proof, Anamika ji. " Ishu slowly said as I looked at her with guilt.
" Don't act too smart, Ishi. When will you learn? You're not a kid anymore. Grow up, idiot. Always making me worry. " Anu started to yell. Payal left from there.
" Ani, it's not her fau" Ishu stopped me by holding my hand. " You're going to get cold if you stay like this. " Payal came back with a towel and wrapped it around  Ishu. She then took Ishu with her.
" Anu, are you out of your mind? It's not her fault. I pulled her inside. How can you treat her like that?  She's your wife, damn it. " With that said, I walked away from her.

So, Is Anamika right in scolding Ishu?
