8. Brothers for Sisters

Jwala left the house early in the morning leaving Vin puzzled. The house was soon crowded with people who were visiting the newly wed for some custom.

Arjun sat as a mere spectator, swearing not to get married. Such a tedious task. "Why can't people leave them alone, they will be forever grateful for that." , Arjun said to Vin who was another spectator.

"There might be some reasons, like always we mess up with those actual reasons and build superstitions ", Vin said casually while Arjun stared at him and replied "As if you are a old man who married four times, Can't you see my brother is yearning for 'their' time?"

Vin laughed and continued "Thank god, Jwala isn't here, otherwise she would be ranting and grumbling over this marriage process at one side."

Instantly the memories of the prior day flashed through Arjun's mind, he smiled thinking how open ended his brother left the conversation.

On the other side, Pragya rested her head on his shoulder and huffed "I should have listened to Jwala. This customs are just a way too much. I am tired, Abhi" , she said with a pout.

Abhi chuckled and kept his head over her's making it a cute pose for the candid photograph to click. "She seems to foretell things. Between don't pout and make thinks difficult darling. ", he winked while Pragya gave a glare and lifted her heavy skirt to walk.

Sensing this Abhi immediately held her shoulders protectively and guided her to the sofa.

"Mom, I am exhausted. When will this get over?", she asked impatiently.

Ragini thought for a second and said "Abhishek, take her to the room. She seems to burst out any moment. I will take care of other things. Go Pragya, you both take rest"

Hearing those precious words, they both ran to their room.

"Urghh..Abhi help me with this necklace man. This is messing up with my hair often." ,she told him irritated.

She hate this overwhelming jewellery and dress, he knew that and asked her to avoid those. But being Mom's girl she wanted to be the way her mom imagined all these years about her marriage.

"Let me do it", he unhooked the necklace clasp and she took a breathe in relief. "Much needed", she said and smiled at him.

"I am a pro at unhooking, you know that right", he asked her with a huge grin and nuzzled over the place which the necklace was claiming.

"Abhiii..", she moaned and turned towards him. He pulled her closer leaving no gap between them.

"Let me change my dress, this is suffocating ", she told him and slightly pushed Abhi away to stop him from doing what he was doing.

"Arrey, I am doing the same", he said trying to be causal while naughtiness shone.

"Abhi, I am tired and definitely not when I am tired, you know it", she said in finality.

"But you say that I am your energy shot nah let me pass it on to you", he was on his way of pulling her back into his track.

She gave a tired look and that was enough for him to understand. He moved few steps back and opened the closet. She laughed seeing him dramatically bowing before her like a chauffeur.

She changed her dress and came back to see her hot husband's abs uncovered. Watching his wife drool over his shirtless body, he chuckled and said "Told you right, energy seems to be filling you".

She gave a not-so-funny look suppressing her blush. Both settled on the bed comfortably, she looked at her husband who kept his eye contact uninterrupted.
