A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 97

Rohit was perplexed.

There was something definitely going on in Sonakshi's mind, but she was mum about it.

Uss din ke baad se koi baat hi nahin kar rahi Holi ki. Kuch to chal raha hai iss larki ke dimagh mein, par mujhe bata nahin rahi.
Bas bol diya ke challenge hai..
Sona..tumhara husband hun..sab samajhta hun..try kar lo..haar jaogi..or mujhe kitna maza aayega..

     
                   ******

Kaise bachoge mujhse Rohit? Tumse do haath aagay soch rahi hun mein..because jo mein karne wali hun woh tum kabhi soch hi nahin sakte..

                     ******

The Sippy family prepared for the Holika Dahan or bonfire. Everyone was busy in the preparations.

Rohit came back from work to find Sonakshi already home, busy along with everyone else.

He tried getting her alone, since she had been playing 'move away when Rohit comes near' games with him, but she was a bit quick.

Even the last couple of nights, she had slept early, while he had so wanted to make love.

He was feeling a bit frustrated as he realised that she was avoiding having sex with him, ever since she had issued that challenge.

Only the first day after their discussion had she asked him what he had against colours.

'Nothing particular! Bas, they are so difficult to get out, it gets all messy, chehra kharab...'

'Lame, Mr. Sippy, very lame!'

She hadn't asked him again.

                     ******

'Sona!' He whispered as after a pooja, the bonfire began.
Sonakshi and Rohit had thaals in their hands as they moved around the fire, along with everyone else, and threw offerings in it.

Sonakshi was moving ahead of Rohit and trying her best to ignore him.

'Sona! Kya yar! Aise kon karta hai? Ek hafta hogaya or tum mujh se theek se baat nahin kar rahi..'

'Kar to rahi hun baat..sunayi de raha hai?'

'Kar rahi ho, I know, but waisi nahin..you know..'

'Rohit! Abhi busy hain na..baad mein..'

He moved a bit closer so the others wouldn't hear.

'Itna kyun tarrpa rahi ho yar? Mere haal pe rehem nahin aata?'

Sonakshi smiled to herself.

'Pata nahin kya bol rahe ho..'

'You know DAMN well..' he stopped as Naren turned to glare at him.
He quickly lowered his voice again.
'You know damn well what I'm talking about, anjaan mat bano..'

Sonakshi looked at him.
'It was that time of the month Rohit..'

'Oh!' His face fell in disappointment.

Sonakshi smirked to herself, enjoying his frustration.

'Sona beta..'

Sonakshi turned to see her parents and siblings arrive. She quickly moved away, leaving Rohit staring after her.

                    ******

Sonakshi rushed about,  helping with setting the table for dinner.

'Sona, woh salad kitchen mein reh gayi..zara laana to.'

'Ji, Mom!'

Sonakshi went inside and was picking up the platter, when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist from behind.
She jumped.
