विवाह- संधीर की कहानी

L

With fidgeting fingers I descend the downstairs. I stepped at the last stair and stopped. I looked around and found him on the dining table. He was still pressing his forehead and then rubbing. How should I do face him? I know he is my husband but how I go after what happened upstairs. I should have to my clam my nerves.

Take a deep breathe and release.

I did the same and walked toward him. I stood near his chair.

I: Does it he hurt ?

He looked up and immediately looked down. He shook his head in No and also removed his fingers. I sit next to his chair. I flipped my breakfast plate. There was silence and tension between us and it should be. He saw me in towel. I know I also saw him half naked but HE SAW ME IN TOWEL.

Mary brought our breakfast with smile. She served and left. He took his spoon and start stirring his oat meal.. Only spoons sound echoed in the room. I huffed and start focusing on my breakfast. After a while, I heard drop of spoon. I turned my attention to it. I heard his signed.

Randhir: I m sorry I didn't knew u was there. It was not my intention to barged in. I was just go there to take my suit.

He signed in relief.

Randhir: I m really sorry Sanyukta.

I looked at him and he is feeling really guilty for what happened before. But he should really feel guilty? He is gentleman as he never made advances on me and he is willing give me my space and time. May be it was an accident and wrong time of us.

I: U don't know have to be sorry. It was an accident.

He give me tight brief smile.

Randhir: Thanks... but still I m sorry...

I: Its fine...

I assured him with smile and he bought it.

Randhir: So we are okay on terms ?

I nodded my head frantically.

I: Yes....

Randhir: U know I thought when I saw u like that we...

But I cut him in middle. I don't want to talk about that more. And how I do when he saw me in towel not only my back but front too. I was so freaked out that time I forget when I turned back my front reflected in the mirror and he also saw that. His warmness on my left hand and I feel so strange in his warmness. My ears start burning.

Randhir: U okay ?

I looked at him and nodded.

Randhirr: I don't think so ur ear is turning pink.

I bit my cheeks inwardly and pressed my lips tightly. Red and pink shouldn't allowed on my cheeks. Not now especially.

I: Can we not talk about this. Its completely fine and it was completely an accident. And we are okay on good terms.

He arched an eyebrow. But I assured him with my smile.

Randhir: Sure... So let me tell u something else.

I: Yes...

I signed with heavy relief and we resumed our eating.

Randhir: Mr. Brosnan is organizing a charity ball today in evening and he invited me personally. So I was thinking will u come?

His question comes a very small voice like he is still not sure we are normal. I always find him confident while asking question to me but now his voice is timid. Didn't he accept we are okay? It is always him who make me comfortable may be this time is mine.
