OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 31 – 40
Episode 33
Dad and Grandad were off for their health check-up schedule on the 2nd Sunday of the month.
“Yeah! I wanted to join too. But I’ll make up for it next time.
I hope you have made adequate donations from my funds,” he asked.
“Yes, Dad. I am sure Ma would be equally happy.”
“Hmmm… Where is Ansh? He ought to be on time. I know he always keeps you waiting. Let me get hold of him.
I need to teach him some discipline and time management,” Dad said, sounding angry.
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Dad… He is always the same. What can I say now….” I said.
“What are the two of you, Father and Daughter-in-law plotting against me? Dad, I am not late. I am just a bit off schedule.”
We both turned around and saw Ansh coming in through the main door.
He was all decked up in a navy blue three-piece suit with a lightly shaded shirt, matching with me perfectly. My gown was sky blue with shades.
Was it really a coincidence or something else? I wonder where he changed into this attire.
“Is there any difference between the two, son? You can’t keep my beautiful daughter waiting, isn’t it Ahana?” He asked, looking at me. Ansh gave a glare towards us.
Actually, Dad, now I am used to it. Never mind,” I said, not giving Ansh a second look.
“I think we were getting late, Ahana. Afterwards, I suppose you both have a lot of time to complain, let’s leave now,” Ansh said.
That made both of us laugh. Ansh stood emotionless and clueless. “But I must say, you both are looking like a perfect matching couple in your matching attire. Enjoy,” Dad said as we were leaving.
I and Ansh both looked at each other. I wasn’t aware of what he was going to wear.
We said goodbye to Dad and got into the car. Ansh had asked to bring his Mercedes.
He was too obsessed with that one, despite his other collections.
Maybe because it was his first one which he bought with his own earnings. Even I was a bit too fond of mine.
I called Ma to inform her that we’ll be there in half an hour. Then I realized that Ansh had been watching me for quite a long time.
“What?” I said. He shook his head and looked away.
After a few minutes of silence, I spoke. “What made you late?”
“It shouldn’t matter to you,” he said without bothering to look at me.
“But…” Before I could say anything, my phone started ringing. It was from my designer.
She must have called to ask about the fit of the dress. I had some papers in my hand, so I put the phone on speaker.
“Hi, ma’am. I hope you liked your dress and its fitting?” she asked. Then I noticed that Ansh finally looked at me after a long time.
“I absolutely loved it. It’s perfect. Thanks, Fray,” I told her.
Fray was the best fashion designer in town, but she never showed off. She was always humble and polite.
“I hope Sir loved his dress too. Actually, yesterday he came and made a late demand to have his tuxedo match yours.
It was difficult to get it done on such short notice, but I managed.
He came here specially to collect it this morning,” she said.
And suddenly, our eyes met. So Ansh went to my designer and ordered a matching tuxedo.
No doubt we looked like a perfect couple. Of course, he knew her because she designed all our wedding clothes.
But I never thought he would do something like this. But why?
“I absolutely loved it. It’s perfect, just as Ahana mentioned.
Thank you, Fray. We’ll talk to you later. Bye,” he said, hanging up the phone as it was on speaker.
Now I looked at him, seeking answers about this strange act.
“What?” he asked me.
