The Journey from Ms. Sharma to Mrs. Who [✓]

Chapter 23-Edited

Megha's POV:

Waking up in the arms of the man whom you love beyond your own life and soul, is a blessing in disguise, maybe or maybe not! Well, it is still a beautiful blessing and of all the days, today, it really really mattered, for it is my birthday. In just two days, a lot had happened, even before we could assimilate, the next course of dramatic, unexpected event was thrown at us. I felt like a person who did not know swimming and yet was taken to the beach.  

1. Charan confessing his love.

2. Charan openly admitting it. 

3. Charan's family accepting it.

4. My parents accepting Charan. 

5. Veera and Eeshwar ji finally officiating their relationship

6. Chinmayi's life being decided without her consent.

7. Charan's mother hating me. 

8. Chinmayi's insecurities about future. 

9. Who is Deepak ?

10.  My first kiss with Charan. 

11. My first sleepover in Charan's room. 

12. And amidst all of this, my guy planning for my birthday...

It all felt bitter-sweet and yet so right. Deep down, even amidst all this, I could feel that it's going to be a " and they live happily ever after" kind of story. But before I could really even think of anything, I had to leave Charan's room before any of the grown-ups knock Charan's room. 

OMG!

What was I even thinking? 

I should have been with Chinnu! I am such a terrible friend and a daughter-in-law. No wonder aunty hates me. I cannot do my duties properly. Thinking of Chinnu, tears just pricked my eyes. 

I have to leave this room right now! For this is the right thing to do!

My head was screaming with instructions and thoughts of what would happen if at all, someone, anyone other than the new-gen Sharma's knocked the door. Also, thinking about the fact tht Chinmayi spent the entire bight alone, clouded my thinking and I was just stuck under Charan's heavy hands. 

That pig is sleeping, in such a carefree fashion, as if we are leading our lives in a perfect world. Just look at him!!!

"Charan...", I whispered. 

No response. 

"Charan!", I called him urgently. 

"Hmm..."

"Wake up, I really need to go to Chinnu's room-Before aunty comes..."

"Hmm..."

He just pulls me closer, and comfortably, tries to sleep!

How can he feel cozy at this moment, when I am worried of what's going to happen when someone knocks the door?

We have been covered by Bhai and Bhabhi, but after yesterday, we do know that everyone has their own limitations in front of Ma. I understand her anger is born out of disappointment. But already, too many people have become victim of it. At least, not today!

As he pulled me even more closer, with no vacuum space left between us and slowly, and yet very gently he breathed on my neck. The ticklish sensation somehow made me blush as he slowly rose up to kiss my neck and my hear from behind...

Woah, my heart skipped a beat! What has he done to me?

And that's the moment, when we heard the most dreaded sound!
