OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 91 – 100
Episode 94
The entire morning wasn’t eventful. I slept for a while in the afternoon after doing some work.
When I woke, it was 6 pm already. But sometimes sleeping does wonders. It feels so fresh sometimes.
I went downstairs and grabbed a cup of warm hot chocolate. I instructed Sara what to cook for dinner.
“Hey! How was your day?” I heard a familiar voice.
“J!! What are you doing here?”
“So… You thought that you will enjoy your holidays, and I’ll toil the entire day. I got bored, so I thought of seeing you once. Can I?”
He said, indicating to the cup of coffee beside me. I gave it to him. He drank and handed it back to me.
These things were okay between us.
“Let’s watch a movie.” I said suddenly.
“DDLJ….” (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge)
“DDLJ….”
We both shouted together. It was our favorite.
Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic movie. A love story that is worth watching.
I quickly got up from the sofa and put the DVD in.
“Hi! Guys… What’s going on?” Dad entered.
“Hi… Uncle… We are watching DDLJ…. It’s our favorite. Join us.” Jaai said.
“Of course… Why not? It’s my favorite too.”
“Where’s Grandad?”
“He is resting.”
“Okay! I’ll arrange for popcorn. We’ll need some. It’s a long movie anyway.” I said excited and went to bring some.
I didn’t realize how fast the time passed. It was already 11 pm. We were at the end of the movie. But still, Ansh didn’t come home.
I wonder where he was. Even Grandad had joined us later. Now the four of us were sitting in the living room along with our dinner plates.
Our eyes glued to the TV when Raj gives his hand to Simran when she is running behind the train. The most iconic scene of all. So… Ro.mantic…
Well, I don’t enjoy Ro.mantic, But this was an exception.
Just then I heard Ansh’s car in. So, finally he comes. When he entered he looked so tired. His eyes were almost red and his hair were messy. He looked exhausted.
” Oh!!” was his reaction as he saw everyone here.
” Hi..” everyone said in unison.
” Ansh…. What a wrong timing? The movie just came to an end.” Jaai said.
Huh!! What’s happening here?” I preferred not to answer him.
” We were watching DDLJ…. You should have returned a bit early.” Dad said.
Ansh sat beside him and drank some water. I could see he was more than shocked.
Jaai was sitting beside me so there wasn’t any place next to me.
” I would definitely come if only someone had informed me that you were having a mini party here.” He said looking at me.
Would he? I didn’t know if he would come or not. And Jaai’s visit was equally surprising.
” And Jaai….” He called him.
” Yes….”
” I thought you were working on Ahana’s behalf. But, you too took a vacation.
I thought that I’ll see more of you in the office…. But…”
” Sorry to disappoint you. But, I was equally bored today. So, thought of seeing Ahana… Anyways work was else today…. ”
Ansh nodded and stood up.
His eyes still didn’t leave mine. I am sure he is angry but why??
” Where…. ” I asked.
” I wasn’t having fun the entire day. So, I am tired. I am going to change. ” He said.
” Hey! Ahana… I’ll also leave. Thanks for the dinner and movie. Had fun. Bye uncle and grandpa…”
” Bye… Son. Keeping coming.”
” Yeah! Bye Ansh.. See you too..”
” Huh! Definitely! Better if it’s in the office….”
Ansh!! Seriously….
Jaai left smiling. I went with him till the door. Ansh was still staring but then he went to the room.
” Ahana… Take care. Was Ansh looking angry or his face is like this? ” Jaai said laughing .
” Oh! Shut up J…. He has the most handsome face Okayyyy!!”
” Of course… He has… Now go make up for your upset husband. And you will surely have to do this multiple times coz my visits are going to increase. ”
” Hmmm… I know…”
” Tell me… Ansh really hates me or He is just jealous or…. ”
” No… He is not… Maybe he doesn’t like you only. Your face isn’t appealing you though. I think there are only two people who really like or love you J…. ”
” Yeah! I am not as handsome as him. Right? And I have lost one of them. And I don’t intend to lose the other one…. Bye… ” He said kssing me on my cheeks and left.
Oh….. Will he ever be able to move on? He has so much pain but still gives only happiness.
I locked the door and came inside.
” Sara… Can you ready Ansh’s plate? I’ll take it to the room. ”
” Yeah! Sure…..”
When I went in the room Ansh just came out of the shower. With only a white towel around his waist.
He moved his hand through his wet hair making the water droplets fall. He had another small size towel in his hand with which he was wiping his wet jet black silky hair.
Oh!! I haven’t seen a man like this. I stood still where I was standing.
He had an impressive physique. With a well-defined chest and toned abs. A perfectly sculpted body that I couldn’t help but admire. It was the first time I had noticed him so much.
Our entire room was filled with his post-shower scent. He turned towards the closet, presumably to get dressed.
His strong, muscular back was clearly visible now, still slightly damp. I wondered how I suddenly became so good at describing him. Ahana, control yourself… I thought, taking a deep breath.
I don’t think he noticed I was there.
“Enjoying yourself, Ahana? I noticed you were here,” he said.
“Oh, I’m sorry…” I turned around, closing my eyes. Oh, God!
“It’s okay, Ahana. There’s no need to close your eyes. It’s not like we haven’t explored each other, right? I don’t mind if my wife enjoys looking, or should I say admiring me,” he teased.
“Stop talking nonsense, Ansh. It’s just that I came at the wrong time. Come on, quickly get dressed and let’s have dinner. I brought you here,” I said firmly.
“And… what if I don’t do as you say?” Ansh said, coming closer to me. His post-shower scent filled the room even more.
He held me by my shoulders, and I stiffened at his touch.
I was still holding the plate in my hand. I remembered what we had shared together, but his cold behavior had ruined everything. I tried to pull his hand away.
“Why do you always want me away from you?” he asked.
But I don’t want him away; it’s just that I’m afraid he’ll hurt me again.
“Ansh… back off and get dressed. And have dinner,” I demanded.
He released his hold on me, and in that moment, I regretted his action.
He was hurt by my rude reply.
“I’m not hungry. You can turn now, I’m done,” he said, his tone dismissive.
I turned around as soon as he spoke, but he was only wearing sweatpants.
