“Shraddha? Open the door!”
Shraddha’s breath hitched. Maa?! Oh, Krishna!
She shook Dhruv’s shoulder urgently.
“Dhruv! Wake up!” She hissed.
Dhruv finally cracked one eye open, a lazy smile spreading across his face as he took in the sight of her, hair tousled, cheeks flushed, and wrapped in nothing but a blanket.
“Good morning, Mrs. Bhatra,” he drawled, reaching out to tug her back onto the bed.
“Dhruv!” She snapped, batting his hand away.
“This is not the time! My Maa is right outside!”
“What the hell is she doing here?” He asked, panic flickering in his voice.
“Oh, I don’t know, Dhruv,” Shraddha said sarcastically, hopping on one foot as she struggled to pull her leggings on. “Maybe she decided to stop by for a cup of tea and a dose of heart attack!”
Dhruv ran a hand through his hair, ruffling it even more. He spotted his shirt on the floor and reached for it just as Shraddha yanked her kurta over her head.
“You are so cute when you panic,” he teased, leaning in to kiss her.
“Dhruv!” She hissed, shoving him away. “Focus!”
Another round of knocks made both of them freeze.
“Shraddha!”
Dhruv’s eyes widened comically as he scrambled to his feet.
“Doesn’t she know how to wait?” He whispered furiously.
“Shut up!” Shraddha shot back, throwing a pillow at him. “Hide! Now!”
“Not under the bed again,” Dhruv grumbled, pulling his pants on hastily.
“Fine, go to the bathroom!” Shraddha whispered, pointing urgently.
