Chapter 24

"Why are you coming unannounced? Did you do something? Are your in-laws angry with you? Why are you here alone? Where is your husband?"

Shanta bombarded with questions and Siya sighed expecting the same reaction from her.

"And you are calling him by his name? he is your husband"

"Baba~" ignoring her mother, Siya went towards her father, hugging him.

"माझ बाळ"  Shivaji wiped his tears, breaking the hug and going to the kitchen.

(My baby)

He came out with Aarti ki thali and dragged Siya out of the house making her stand near the doorstep.

"You are coming for the first time after your marriage" he applied vermillion on her forehead and did the Aarti.

"How are bala?" he asked after they settled on the bed.

"I'm fine. How are you?"

"Fit and fine" he replied flexing his biceps making her laugh.

"Please have a seat" sivaji said to the guards getting up from the bed and arranging chairs for them.

"Prepare tea for them," he said to his wife.

"Wanted to surprise me?"  Shivaji asked after settling on the bed beside Siya.

"No, my husband kicked me out of the house" she replied, leaning on his shoulders.

"Poor guy, at least he survived one month with you"

"Baba~~"

°°°°°°

Reyansh entered his room with a tired sigh. Walking towards the couch he threw the bag on it and placed himself beside the bag.

Resting his head on the backrest of the couch , he kept his feets on the front table.

"I miss you"

He mumbled gazing at the empty bed, but what caught his attention was the pile of  sarees lying on the bed.

Siya changed her clothes thousands of times before deciding to wear a simple beige coloured  silk saree.

Keeping his feets on the ground he walked to the bed with slow steps.

A chuckle left his mouth finding the room really messed up. He is the man who likes when things are kept at their place correctly but his wife is totally opposite of him and fell in love with this version of Siya, a messed up version which he found so adorable and enchanting who helped him to come out of his messed up life.

"I miss you" he sighed for the nth time since morning.

Removing his watch he turned to keep it on the dressing table but finding her things spread all over the table he decided to keep it on the bed itself.

Dashing inside the washroom, he removed his clothes and freshened up. Wiping his wet hairs with the towel he came out of the bathroom.

Inserting the cassette in the radio he played one of his favourite songs. Reyansh had the old soul in me who likes and adores old things.

लिखे जो ख़त तुझे

वो तेरी याद में

हज़ारों रंग के

नज़ारे बन गए

Hanging the towel around his neck he took a deep breath, picking up the saree he held the one end of it and attached the other end to it. Repeating the process a few times he folded the sarre into half and kept it on the hanger.

Doing the same for others he folded every piece of cloth on the bed making it clean.

Moving to the dressing table, he picked up everything, keeping moisturiser and lip balm on it and bringing the rest of the items to their walking closet.

Sitting on the floor he opened the jewellery boxes and kept each piece of jewellery in its place correctly.

"These jewellers are too heavy, how can she wear them without breaking her neck?"

He dusted his hands after arranging her jewelleries, makeup products, perfumes and other things properly.

Stretching his hands, he got up from the ground and opened the wardrobe and a pile of clothes fell onto him.

Smiling to himself, he picked up the rest of the clothes from the closet, folding them properly and keeping them in place correctly.

RING

without wasting a single second he picked up the call keeping it near his ear.

Soft giggles were heard from the other side.

"Missed me" Siya said.

"So much" Reyansh replied, coming out of the closet and walking towards the balcony and taking a seat on the couch.

"Did you eat?" She asked.

Reyansh bit his lips, closing his eyes.

"I will,"  he replied, clearing his throat and resting his head on the headrest.

सवेरा जब हुआ

तो फूल बन गए

जो रात आई तो

सितारे बन गए

लिखे जो ख़त तुझे…

"You are listening to the radio?" She asked, making him hum.

"Your girl is not letting me live in peace, she is following me wherever I go and see she is listening  my conversation when I'm talking to my husband"

'My husband'

" Come back than you can free from her"

"I hate you Mr.Bhanushali" he can sense her pout from the phone.

"I love you too Mrs.Bhanushali"  Siya smiled listening to his words.

There was a silence between them which no one wanted to break. The silence between them was never awkward; rather it was so comfortable that they can just stare at each other in complete silence.

"Will you not ask me if I ate or not?"

"I know you ate"

"Does your girl give an update about my meals as well?"

"Secondly, no she didn't. I know uncle must have made your favourite halwa and fed you with his hands"

"Are you using Blackmagic ansh?" Siya gasped but later on laughed at her own self making Reyansh chuckle.

"Ahh…..then what is the first thing?"

Reyansh took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"She is not my girl"

"Then who is?"

"Aap"

(You)

जहाँ तू है वहाँ मैं हूँ

मेरे दिल की तू धड़कन है

मुसाफ़िर मैं तू मंज़िल है

मैं प्यासा हूँ तू सावन है

मेरी दुनिया ये नज़रें हैं

मेरी जन्नत ये दामन है

°°°°°°

Sania sat on the kitchen slab eating while the jot food was served on her plate.

"Are you not eating properly? You have grown thin in just two days" her mother spoke, slipping another roti on her plate.

"No mum, I am eating twice more than here" Sania replied, stuffing food inside her mouth.

"Aisa kya khilate hai tumhari Saaa?"

(What does your mother-in-law feed you?)

"Taane maa, taane. Meri saas to aapse do nai nai das kadam aage hai taane marne me"

(Taunts mom, taunts. My mother-in-law is two steps no no ten steps ahead of you in taunting)

Sania said in a monotone while devouring the tasty food but earned a tight smack on her head by her mother.

"Maa~~" she whined, rubbing the spot.

"On a serious note. Are you okay with your husband? Is sunansh treating you right? He doesn't misbehave with you ,right? I know he is not that type of guy but still we never know how a person is behind the four walls and—

"Maa……Relax, here drink this water and take a deep breath"

Sania gave a glass of water to her mother,jumping down the kitchen counter. She washed her dirty hand and kept the plate in the sink.

"Papa ka para treats me good, he doesn't misbehave with me and yes he is a nice guy in and out" Sania replied, wiping her hands with her mother's veil.

"Papa ka para?"

"He has such a nice name and you call him papa ka para? Are you crazy?"

°°°°°°

"Avy baby~~" Myra sang while picking her phone from the table and calling her husband.

"Did you pick up my call by mistake?" She asked, sitting in front of the dressing table keeping the phone on loudspeaker.

"Why would I?" Avyansh answered, clearing his throat.

"Because you picked up the call in a few seconds which you never do," she said, applying moisturiser on her skin.

"Okay then I'll cut the call" avyansh replied smiling, while leaning on the railing with one hand stuffed in pockets and the other holding the phone.

"I'll kill you if you do so"  Completing her night routine she climbed on the bed.

"Will you be able to?"

"Why wouldn't I?"  She asked,  sleeping on her stomach.

"Because you love me"  he said, making both of them shocked with his reply. There was a silence for a few seconds before Myra decided to break it.

"Avy baby, did you hit your head somewhere? Why are you behaving like this?"

"Behaving like what?"  He asked, confused.

"You are not acting like a jerk anymore"  his mouth was hung open hearing her response.

"Then should i behave with you like I always do"

"Yes please, I love red flags"

°°°°°°

Sania tried to concentrate on the book in front of her but her mind was distracted by something or someone.

Sunansh Bhanushali,

Her husband.

"Abhi tak ek call nahi Kiya papa ke pare ne"

(He didn't even call me)

RING

counting the numbers till ten in her mind she picked up the call.

"Hello" she said in a monotone but a smile lingering on her face.

"Missed me darling?"

'Yes'

"Why would I miss you?"  She asked, doodling on her book.

"Because I'm your ' good muscular body with handsome face' husband" sunansh said making Sania roll her eyes and hang up the call.

RING

He called her once again but now she picked it up in a few seconds.

"I'm sorry darling" she can sense his pout through the electronic device.

"Why did you call me?" She asked , closing the book and going towards her bed.

"Just wanted to see if you are missing me or not"

"I'm not so hung up" she said, almost on the verge of killing him.

"Sunn~~" he whispered slowly.

"Suna"  she copied his actions.

" I have a friend whose birthday is coming up in a few days so can you suggest any gift ideas?"

" Tera friend teri tarah hi ameer hoga usko kisi gift ki kya zarurat?"

(Your friend might be rich like you what's the need of gifting him)

" ameer hoga nahi ….ameer hogi"

(She not he)

"Do you have female friends?" Sania asked, surprised.

"Yes, can't I?"

"Who is this 'ameer hogi' "

"Someone special," he replied, making her grit her teeths and clench the bed sheets tightly.

"Is she more special than me?" Sania closed her eyes immediately, smacking her forehead for asking such stupid question.

"She is my friend and you are my wife, you both have different place in my heart"

She might sound childish but something is burning inside her. Maybe jealousy?

"Wait….are you perhaps jealous?" Sunansh asked, surprised.

"Why would I be?"  She replied instantly.

"I have exams, don't disturb me for such stupid reasons"

Saying this she threw the phone on the bed and punched the bed taking out frustration out of her.

"Bahut udd raha hai papa ka para"

(He is flying too much)

°°°°°°

"Bhai come fast something is happening to me" sunansh said in conference call making both Reyansh and Avyansh run to his room.

"Sunansh"

"Sunansh"

Both of them came at the same time while breathing hard only to see him lay on his bed while playing on his phone.

"What a speed" he clapped seeing them at his doorstep. But stopped seeing the cold glare of Reyansh.

"A little prank haha" he laughed at his own joke, clearing throat and climbing down the bed only to land back again after avyansh kicked him.

" Tu kabhi nahi sudhar sakta"

(You can never change)

Avyansh again landed a punch on his stomach before lying beside him on the bed.

"I called you so we can eat dinner together, ache logo ke sath hamesha bura hi Hota hai"

(Bad things happens with only good people)

He fake cried, sitting on the chair in front of the table where the dinner was placed.

"Bhabhi called me and said to eat together"

"Bhabhi ka chamcha"

(Bhabhi's tail)

Avyansh said sitting beside him.

"Just like you"  sunansh replied showing his teeths.
