A week of our marriage and i was still sitting in the dining chair, waiting for Abhishek to come back from his office. But 2 hours were still left. He usually arrives at 8 and right now, its just 5:53 p.m. .I never knew i would be so wrong about my decision, when i said, i will not let Abhishek affect me again.He affected me. Voluntary or not. He did. The feelings that i thought were left behind, never did. It was still a part of me, a deep one that i ignored for so long. Maybe i never forgot Abhishek in the first place. I just had buried his memories, never tried to forget them. Equations between us, has not been much changed. There were times when we won't know what to speak and what not. Things would be awkward without any reason. Mostly because both of us, do not want to initiate any conversation by ourselves. If one starts, the other plays along. The one being mostly me. Most of our conversations were about the family. How revti aunty would scold all the children, or how son
"Just how..irresponsible youuu can be??" I said between my laughs. "You will be so dead because you hung up on aunty.""Not really." He smirked. "I will say that her daughter like daughter in law cut the phone and started doing something which i cannot tell her." My laughter died and i blushed unwantedly."You know its impossible!""I know. They don't." He winked. This man!!I thought to give him some pies, but he does not deserves it! I pack all the pies and smacked his arm as he tried to take some. "Not for you.""Then for whom?""For my love.."I shrugged and he laughed. Is he mad? I, his wife, told him that i made the pies for my lover and he is laughing?"You hardly went anywhere outside here. Who will be your lover here?""Who said my lover is outside? There are many bachelors around my age, who work here. " i wiggle my eyebrows, liking to see the shocked expression on his face.
I took my phone out to call Abhishek and ask him to send the driver but, i did not had his number. Shit, Lavi! How can you forget to take his number?Even he didn't realised that we had not shared our numbers yet, when he asked me to ring his mobile. How stupid can we be?I instantly checked for 'Gills' villa' on g-maps, but guess what? The net was not working. Great. I thought to call Revti aunty but knew that was a very bad idea. She will scold us in return, and especially at Abhishek. She will be beyond angry if she gets to know that i was in the middle of the road, trying to find my way for home."Are you looking for an auto?" An auto driver asked me and i shook my head. He looked drunk. Moreover his eyes scanned my body, making me a little uncomfortable. "You look new. Come i will drop you, in free." Came his lusty voice.I shook my head again and started to walk back at the campus. The driver followed me still. "Sit inside. I will drop you."Can't he understand, i don't want hi
"You think one sorry will cover it all?" His voice was emotionless as he wore a random tee. It was the first time, i heard him like this. And trust me, it was not a warm feeling."I..I will... clean the house and make the dinner real quick." I said whatever came up my mind. My tone sounded apologetic and guilty. He finally looked at me with a distant look, and sighed. "You really think, i'm upset because you, dripped water on the furniture and did not cook the dinner? Seriously, Lavanya?" He asked in disbelief.Is he not?"You claim to read human psychology and you don't know what i'm upset about? Unbelievable." He exclaimed and passed past me.A psychologist is not a mind-reader! Nonetheless, I followed him quickly. "Then why are you upset?" He glared at me. "I mean, i'm not a mind reader. You need to tell me why are you so upset?" I clarify.He shook his head in disbeief and descended the stairs. Me following him like a pet. "Now you are exaggerating it. Stop acting chidish!" I sa
"I forgot to ask yesterday, but how was your interview yesterday?" Abhishek asked as we had our breakfast. We had shared our numbers now.Yesterday, after maggi he ordered a pizza and we'd called it a night after we filled our stomachs. Things were very awkward but he tried to overlook it and tried to crack some jokes, to which i replied in monosyllables. When i hit my bed, i found myself behaving like an immature kid. The things were not as complicated as i made it appear. He was definately right in his place, and i in mine. But we failed to coordinate."It was horrible." I replied to his question. "The principal was too rude. She looked like a female version of Hitler. You know which question she asked me first? She asked me if i can assure 99 percent result in psychology, then only the interview should proceed.""She must be a business woman. Seedhi baat, no bakwaas. " he shrugged as if it was not a big deal.(No beat around
"There were jammers in the college, so i was trying to call you from the middle stopper in the road. Later realised i could not, so i was busy thinking what next to do. Then a driver came and...." Before i could complete, Abhishek cut me. "He tried to pull any cheap trick?""No, i mean yes. He was insisting me to sit on his auto , even after i refused to him because he looked drunk and i was feeling uncomfortable from him. He continued to follow me and a policeman came, the driver drove away, and the policeman made me sit on a bus. That's it." I finally complete. And there was no ounce of pain in my voice, except the regret. "There is more to it."Ughhh...why can't be satisfied with what i am telling.I finally narrated him my regret of leaving that driver and all. Leaving the part where i was travelled to my old bad times. "What? For such a small thing, you were so lost? I mean, i understand you could not do anything about it
Lavanya pov:-"Take any of them, why are you wasting the time?" Abhishek was irritated to the edge now. Past one hour of shopping and i still had chosen only two sweaters and a cardigan. Normally it was enough, but here i don't have a single woolen cloth. I needed some more. But seeing these over expensive clothes makes me confuse. The ones i'm liking are either expensive or too large for me. "You can go back, the mall is not that far." I told with a frown and went into the woolen kurti section. The colours are so dull! That's why i hate shopping! I can never decide what to take and what not! "And leave you here like that day? No thanks!" He mocked."Then help me or keep your mouth shut!" I took two kurti sets and added them to cart. "That's it for now! I can't shop more." I sighed."Just these? You sure you won't need anymore clothes? You will spend the next three to four months in these?" He asked with open mouth. He is bipolar! I swear he is!"Just two weeks. I will be going to
Third person's pov.The car screeched stopped as Abhishek pulled the brakes outsife the college campus. The results were to be out today and Abhishek offered, or more like estated, to accompany Lavanya. He had his face covered with a scarf and black glasses.After parking the car, the two entered the campus and they could see the hustling-bustling of the students. Some girls noticed the handsome gentleman with hidden face, that made them more desperate, in their college and soon, almost all eyes were on Abhishek and Lavanya. The two moved to the reception to check out the results but it was Lavanya who went inside while Abhishek waited for her in a corner. There was a heavy crowd near the bulletin and many of the faces returned back with dull and rejected faces. But he ignored them and fixed his eyes only at the one face that looked neither happy nor sad."How was it?" Abhishek asked and Lavanya smiled brightly."Just like i told you!" She answered."So its a No. Now its Mom's treat.
