Perfect Strangers ✔

Nandhini seeing that, grumply lied on the bed and covered herself fully with bedsheet. Both of them started to sleep.

Chandra POV:
Today was rightly done as I wished. After visiting Ravi uncle, I was totally satisfied. All night I was waiting to meet him. More than a son-in-law, I am a son for him. They treat me as their own. I regretted that I wasnt present there once knowing about the incident...

Morning I was relaxed seeing Paati's condition. Her face was blossomed freshly after so many weeks. Like a full bright moon after cloudly nights... Her smile gave me strength that things will get well. She is the support for us. She stood as a strong pillar all the time. Her bravery, the way she handled things always amused me. I have seen amma's spirits down sometimes, but paati! She was positive and wanted to bring up us like that.

Nandhini remained moody throughout. I knew she will be surprised to find me at hospital. My eyes were noting her each and every move and expressions. I can't take off my eyes from her when she is around... so irresistible... she was continuously gazing at me thinking I didn't pay attention to her till we reach her home. And the stupid question she asked. Why would I mention our argument which was between us? Its our issue. Thanking me! seriously? They are my family too. I too should be with them & serve them. It was like I am third person to her!

Then, when paati mentioned about her wish! Every grandparents would want to see their grandchildren. Obviously how will i say no to paati? One day we will be parents too.

As i said yes, I noticed Nandhini's eyes narrowed. She gave a reaction like I was a stranger touching her. Like nothing is between us and I am saying something which will never happen. She acted like we were never been intimate before. I didn't know what's there to exaggerate on. Her remarks in the room was damn irritating. I have all rights on her that was fully out of love.

I shut her mouth with my sudden move as she gawked at me. I found her so attractive when she is angry. Whenever I was close to her I can't stop myself... When I was to cease the distance between us and kiss, She turned her face rudely. I never want to forcibly touch her without her desire. I moved away from her. Thoughts ran how can i convince her on using rude words to her and make her understand my perspective that I was so afraid that time and not in control. I wanted to clear all the disturbances between us. I didn't expect she would go such an extent, keeping pillows middle of us! I was pissed off at her stupidity.

What is she thinking of me? I threw the pillows in rage and lay on the bed. I feared how I am gonna handle her temper more to say her madness......

*** End of POV***

The next day, at Ratan's room, he and Nandhini decided to make a call Diya. Diya answered in two rings.

Diya: Hiii Nandhuu!!

Nandhini: Diya! How.. (Ratan mouthed to her to put on speaker; she on the loudspeaker) Haan, how are you?

Diya: I am fine. How about you and all there? Is paati getting better?

Nandhini: Yes, paati is recovering well. I, Chandra, Shylok mama and Durga akka alll fine!
(She winked at Ratan expecting Diya to ask about him)

Diya: Super! Then??
(Ratan sighs)

Nandhini: Umm.... What are you doing?
