Kabir .......

I didn't like Navneet sitting beside Rashi . It's just a small thing but it's disturbing me .

I assuringly placed my palm on Rashi's  to make her a bit comfortable who was distrssed from the moment navneet sat beside her .

Her hand was small and so soft .
She nodded and took her hand away from me .

I have had seen , in middle class families , newly married couples , eating with entangled hands , under the table , in front of family .
So this is something unexpected .

' IGNORED ' 😕☹️

Next Sunday afternoon I  was walking in garden ,  talking to someone on call  , about some business stuff .

As I ended the call
" So how's business " ?
Asked Navneet standing in front of me

" It's ....It's ..Good "
I said with a plain face .

Then he talked about some random stuff , I had just listened most of them , then when I was about to leave , our shoulders collided and his cell phone fall down .

I said " Sorry" bending down to pick up his cell .

I was about to gave it back to him when my eyes fall on his Mobile's screen with RASHI .

I looked at it properly now , it was a WhatsApp chat inbox of Rashi with him .

**********************************

R : I like your personality
N : As in. ?
R :  Your nature , you are talkative ,
       Your coolness , your........

************************************

He took his phone away  from my hand saying
" I appreciate your effort of getting married to Rashi "

"There's on EFFORTS required in marring someone like RASHI "
I corrected him .

'Though leaving her may be '
This I kept to myself , as I was in no mood to have any useless arguments with him   .

" Yeah.   "
He said with short smile .

" How's your marriage life
by the way " ?
He asked further.

I looked at him expression less , thinking what to say  .

" I..I.. mean .... How's you people getting along , since it didn't went in an exact  normal way  "

I just released a sigh to it , putting my palms in the side pockets of trouser & mouthed " perfect "
Though I know it's not yet .

"You Know .... .."
" It's going to be 4 months in a couple of days  "
" But , I don't think Rashi got adjusted to this family , to YOU  yet "
He said taking seat on a swing chair .

" Say clearly " I said turning to him

"Nothing , you will end up getting mad at me "
He said shrugging his shoulders .

" What do you wants to say " ?
" Speak"
I stated again .

" Look , everyone knows that , its been more than half year mine and Rashi's wedding was fixed "
"We have had chatted via texts , calls "
" She was ready to get married to ME"
" She liked ME "
" But instead she got married to YOU , that too within a short span of time "
" Obviously she knew nothing about you before wedding "

His every word was pinching me , don't know why .

"So..." ? I questioned him  .

" So she agreed to your proposal  for her family's reputation ONLY "
He added peeling off an orange .

"No.. umm...Our relationship is...is nice , it's good "
I tried to convince myself more than him .

" Aahann ...If that's so , then yesterday night ,  why she took her hand back  at dinning table " ?
He asked shocking  me .

" Isn't it obvious for newly married couples to have dinner with hand in hand "
"Time span of 4 MONTHS and you can't touch even PALM of your own WIFE "

His every word pierced through my heart . I fisted my hand ,
" She is just taking her time & I respect that "
I said mire to myself , pulling a ringing mobile out of my pocket .

I excused myself and left answering the  call  .
