![]() “Well we don’t want you to die out of hunger and about my parents we can always sneak out. “Now ? No! What will your parents say ?” I gawped in shock “Oh, I don’t think there is any at home right now, you know we just returned tonight.” He thought for awhile “okay come on let’s go out and eat” he stood up instantly. He looked at me alarmed “I’m hungry, no in fact I’m starving. I called him again “Kartik ?” A bit louder. Okay now food is the main concern, stop with the distractions already. I gently patted my husband’s shoulder “Kartik ?” Oh yeah that’s my husband’s name, I love the way my tongue rolls while saying it. I tried to suppress the hunger but it only seemed to increase with each passing second. I was hungry, I din’t eat properly the entire day and now my stomach is yearning for its daily quota. “Hey then you’re not allowed mister, off you go”Īfter settling comfortably, my stomach started to growl. “Ha I usually kick people out of the bed in sleep, do you think it wouldn’t be a problem ?” “Yep! as long as you don’t snore or put your legs on me, it’s completely fine, you’re permitted inside my territory” I laughed “Are you sure ?” He voiced out ultra hesitantly “Hello Mr.Gentleman, I think your teacher is too old school for twenty- nineteen” he looked at me raising his eyebrows “you could sleep on the bed, it ain’t a problem” ![]() Okay he has some manner and definitely knows how to charm his way around. So I’m thinking of an alternative” he replied scratching his stubble in deep thought. “Ya actually I was taught to sleep on the couch like a gentleman to give my wife some space but you see my six feet frame is never gonna allow me to fit into the couch. Since we have established we’re going to sleep and do nothing else, I have completely warmed up to him by now. “What’s the matter, you look confused ?” I inquired sitting on the bed. When I returned back he was looking at the bed and the couch in a confused state. See I have a big mouth, these dumbstruck moments are just temporary lapses. I would normally never cease to shut my mouth but these wild thoughts mixed along with anxiety is causing a rift in my entire being.ĭespite the whirlpool of unnecessary hypothesis shouting in my head, I got a grip of myself and mustered my strength to answer him back “I was taught to act nice in the beginning, in the due course you’ll see my true colors” Initially he was shocked at my reply but then he regained his composure and grinned shaking his head. “Everyone told you’re an extrovert but I haven’t seen you mutter a single syllable right from the moment I met you” He asked in an attempt to strike up a conversation. He continued “but before that save yourself from the grandiose heavy saree, I don’t think it’s gonna let you have a goodnight sleep” I nodded and turned to leave “Okay we shall sleep then” relief flushed all over me as soon as I heard him say those most awaited words. “Aren’t you tired ?” He asked and I shook my head in agreement Wonderful! what have I married myself to ? Well this is the first time we are talking alone and he greets me with this imbecile nickname. “Hey Christmas tree! Sorry I din’t even notice you” He said casually and sat on the bed facing me. I wished the ground would open up and swallow me right away before he could notice how flustered I was. I blushed and immediately felt embarrassed. Suddenly, I was conscious of myself, every inch of my skin had a highlighted sense of activity and anxiety, derived from many stories of wedding nights, came flooding to my mind just as blood rushed to my cheeks. He lethargically eyed me, running his gaze from my head to toe. The voice abruptly halted mid-sentence, as my brand-new husband diverted his glance in my direction. Shouldn’t the groom dress up as well to impress the bride ? The feminist voice was shrieking now ‘Male chauvinistic misogynistic society’ The feminist in my head was roaring on high alert, ‘Seriously ? Tracks ?’ Here I was forced to doll up for the wedding night whereas he, on the other hand was wearing the most comfortable clothing in the world. He was standing tall with his head bent and eyes focused on his mobile phone. When my nauseating stream of thoughts were taking a whole new height, I was interjected by the sound of the door opening swiftly by the man who is officially my husband since a few hours, he stepped in, crisp in a tracksuit. It was an exquisite sight, I myself would have found it romantic in any other context, but right now it suffocated me. As I sat on the couch near the bed, lost in thoughts, I looked up and saw the luxurious bedroom, adorned with flowers in every nook and corner. ![]() The room was deafeningly silent except for the rhythmic sound of my feet pattering on the floor.
