Life After Marriage

2

The next day I woke up early in the morning to make breakfast for everyone in the house with my mothers help as they were staying for breakfast. I made some poha along with dosa which came out well. Every one came downstairs for breakfast and I also joined them.

"Mmm... this is really nice Nandini, you can cook very well I see," my father-in-law complimented. "yes, yes our Nandini cooks really well and also many varieties," my mother started. I sighed thinking that they actually liked it and I didn't have to listen to another lecture from my mom. But my husband was nowhere to be seen near the table.

"Nandini why don't you go and check on Manik. I don't think he woke up yet," my mother-in-law said. "Leave him alone. I don't think he got enough rest due to yesterdays events" Preethi said with a scowl on her face. "Preethi" her mother chided and motioned for me to go.

I went up to Manik's room but he was nowhere to be seen. maybe he is in the bathroom I thought and went near the mirror to blow dry my hair as it is still wet from my shower earlier. Then he came out only wearing a towel around his waist and rubbing his hair with another towel.

"Um...the breakfast is r-ready," I said slightly stammering like a fool looking only at his face. He slightly snickered "you can look, baby, this is all yours," he said with an arrogant smirk on his face. He slowly stalked towards me and stood behind me in front of the mirror as I was facing away from him. He moved my hair to the right side and nuzzled his face into my neck to bite it sharply. I hissed in pain and jerked away from him. "You look very mouth watering in this sari that I could eat you up," he said and tilted my face towards me to kiss me and eventually bite my lips. I kept resisting but gave in as usual. He let me go after he is satisfied and got dressed. By the time he is back from the walk-in closet in his room, I managed to compose my self and look presentable. 

We went to sit with the others for breakfast. Manik's mom is grinning from ear to ear and said "took you long enough" and winked at me. My face instantly heated up and I started blushing and everyone at the table ended up laughing including my husband. except for his little sister who is actually glaring at me. I don't understand what her problem is I thought.  

My parents left after the breakfast and my eyes watered at the thought of not going back with them. My husband put his arm around my shoulder in a comforting manner as I was gazing at my parent's car longingly. "you can visit them whenever you want," he said with a smile. I just nodded my head and went inside the house along with him.

"Oh! Manik I and your father are flying to Mumbai this afternoon and we would like you to take care of your sister as well as your wife," my mother-in-law's said. "that is what he has been doing all these years" Preethi mumbled. "Preethi you know how it is?" she scolded her. 

"yes, yes you leave the house and go somewhere else for 11 months in a year and come to take care of your children for a month" she scoffed. my husband interrupted their little quarrel saying "Preethi leave it alone, it doesn't matter" he says and goes upstairs to his room. I think he is upset. everyone left the living room and I stood there like a statue not knowing what to do. okay, I thought and went to the kitchen to drink some water.

I went into the bedroom to unpack clothes. Manik is sitting on the sofa in his room, with his palms covering his face facing the sliding doors which leads to the balcony. "Are you o-okay?" I asked hesitantly touching his shoulder lightly.

He looked up and gave a small smile "This is an everyday thing in this house," he then pulled me into his lap making me gasp. That was totally unexpected. "Now you baby girl, will tell me all about yourself that I don't know," he said caressing my face. I started squirming as I felt uncomfortable on his lap but he held me tight. I sighed "there is nothing much to know," I said pouting as he is not letting me go. He just held my chin and made me look at him and bit my lips. "this is going to happen every time you pout like that, I'll bite it off" he said with a carnal look in his eyes as I gaped at him, terrified.

After that little episode, we talked about each other for a bit with him teasing me every now and then. It was lunchtime finally and we were called to eat. Soon after that, my in-laws left for their trip. Preethi went off to sulk in her room and my husband left with her to console her. I just went to our room as my husband oh so graciously put it and started unpacking my books and other equipment required for college.
