19. Touched With Love

"Aanchoon!

Excuse me!

Anchoon!

Excuse me!

Aanchoon!

uh! Excuse me!"
Rubbing his nose, that had a shade of red, he looked up to find Priya, staring at him with a dirty face.

"What?"
He asked her, sniffing.

"Tch..tch..tch.. What a style!
God Bless You!"
Still she made a reticent yet dirty face at him and he looked at her with questioning eyes. He was about to pick up a card,when she squeked.

"Hands!
Go and wash them..chii!"
He looked at his hands and found nothing.

"Are you searching for the germs?

Bhaiyaa, sometimes,your level of absurdity is too high."
He smacked her head and she hushed him away. After washing his hands, he came back to her.

"Give me your cards!"
He ordered her and she twisted her lips.

"Hello!!? Why?"
She almost shouted.

"I doubt if you, took my cards."
She poked her tongue at him and smirked, ignoring his words.
"Show me, girl or else start the game again!"

Agreeing to his stubborn brother's wish,she melded the cards, to start the rummy again.
She gave him a doubtful look as he was busy wiping his nose with a kerchief.

"Hmm..
Clouds. Rain. Water. Cold. You!

Tell me, one thing.
Till yesterday, even today, in the morning,before we were leaving, You seemed alright. What really happened?"
He paused and looked at her.

"Wind. It took toll on me."

"Did you stand under the rain? Hun?"
With an intense, doubtful eyes,she gazed at him as if ready to pierce into his soul.
He narrowed his eyes at her and gradually, a naughty smile occupied his face.

"Will you agree with a lie or really want to know what happened?"
Instaneously, she looked at him with an excitement lingering on her face.
With a thud, she slapped down her cards and moved towards him.

"Now, you have to tell me!
Though, I don't want to peek, behind a husband wife's, moments but..Say!
Did she..?"
He cruely smirked at her, and a chuckle escaped his mouth.

"Seems, someone is too excited to know but..
Before that, answer me.. who actually had that chocolate kept in my room? That day?"
Priya felt as if she was caught. Her smile, gradually drawn away and tried to divert him.
"When my sister is a big chocolate thief, then I don't think..I want to give myself the rights of giving you some hints about today's events.

Better, we continue our game."
He ignored her and glaring asked her to start the game. Pouting, she had to agree with him.
"But..For whom did you bring that?
Why are you creating it a big issue?"

"Rummy!!"
He shouted, as he won the game. Pouting again, she continue to play the next round.

"Avyakta?"
Savita's voice drew him as she called his beloved wife's name. Within a speck of a moment, he looked towards the kitchen to get a glimpse of her, who in the meantime, refused to even come out and have a glance of him.
"Beta, I'll do it.
It's been long, you are in the kitchen, come out ,now!"

"No!..uh! No, maa!
Y'all must be tired..I'll make it."
Siddhant giggled to himself, as her words hit her ears. The reticent wife of his, knew how to save herself from him,since the time she confessed.

What's the big deal,then?
He'll wait more,because at last after a long day, they had to sleep beside each other, under a single roof and he had that chance, to tease her.
