*Asha Pov*
How can she just say that about me?
I know the way Aunty talked about me is wrong but she judged me so easily. I don’t want to be here at all.
The tears just didn’t stop after starting when I entered the room where I am going to stay.
Do I have to bear these accusations for this whole month?
I don’t think I can do it. I need to get out of here.
I fetched my phone from the bedside table and called the only person who can take me out of here.
“Hello!” He said picking up.
“Rahul!” I said and controlled my tears.
“Asha! What happened?” He asked immediately.
“I don’t want to stay here Rahul. I can already see the judged looks from them.” I replied letting few tears flow.
“Shh.. Don’t cry. Now tell me what are you talking about and whom?” He asked and then I told him about what happened.
“Ok. That is completely wrong. She shouldn’t have said like that but the big culprits here are your Dad and Lucky’s Parents.” He said calmly.
“I know that. I am not angry at her. But also I don’t want them to talk about me like this.” I said rubbing my eyes.
“Just one month Asha. I already talked to my friend. If I could come there and bring you here, I would have without any doubts. You know that right?” He asked.
“Ofcourse I know that you are there to protect me Rahul.” I replied smiling.
He was about to say something but we heard another voice saying “Who are you talking to?”
“To your future Daughter-in-law.” Rahul replied laughing.
I couldn’t help but grin at that statement.
“Hey let me talk to her properly.” Rahul said and there were some sounds in the background and I even heard Rahul hissing in pain.
“Hello.” I heard the new voice.
“Hello! What happened to him?” I asked worriedly.
“Nothing! I just hit him on his head with the phone as he is not letting me talk to you.” The reply is like complaining.
I laughed suddenly and couldn’t stop myself.
“You.. you just.. hit.. him.” I said between my laughs.
“Well no one stops me from talking to my future Daughter-In-Law.” She said as a matter of fact.
“Gowri Di! You both are so cute.” I said smiling and I would have pinched their cheeks if I was near them.
“You don’t have to apply any butter to us you know. Our son is already yours.” She said laughing.
“Well I miss him so much. Can I see him?” I asked excited.
“Sure. We will call you through Skype.” She replied and we both hanged up the phone.
Ten minutes later I got the call from her and she is infront of it.
“Hi Asha! We all miss you so much.” She said smiling at me.
“Hi Di! I too miss you all. Now let me see my Future Husband.” I said.
She laughed and moved away from the camera.
Then I saw Rahul holding my Future Husband and who is called as ‘Abhiram’.
“Can he become anymore cuter than this?” I asked looking at him.
“Well thanks for the complement.” Rahul said grinning at me.
Di hit him on his shoulder and said “She is talking about our son not you.”
“What is with you? You are always hitting me.” He said glaring at her.
“Well my hands are just itching.” She said rubbing her hands and returning his glare.
“Poor Abhi! I don’t know how he is bearing you both.” I said shaking my head.
“Yeah! Yeah! Ofcourse he is the poor fellow here.” Rahul said glaring at me.
I stick my tongue out and teased him to which Abhi giggled.
“Aww! See he too loves me.” I said giving him a flying kiss.
“His parents are still here Asha. Behave yourself.” Rahul said trying his best to sound like he is scolding me.
Abhi turned towards Rahul and frowned at him.
Making me and Gowri Di burst out laughing looking at Rahul’s face.
“Ok. We will call you again. Looks like my son is changing his sides.” Rahul said playfully glaring at his son.
“You are just jealous.” I said and we hanged up our call.
I can’t believe my mood is completely changed now.
This family always does this to me. I know them since four years and it always feels like they are my people.
I met Rahul as my Dance teacher and then I met Gowri his wife.
She became a sister who just loves me so much. She treats me even as her little sister.
Then when Abhi born they were still in India so I got so used to him. I always used to spend so much time with that kid.
So they started joking like he is my Future husband and I am their daughter-In-Law.
They are just few years older than me but they never act like that with me.
They love me just like parents love their children. So I am happy that I am going to stay with them after this one month.
Now I just have to spend this one month and hope it will pass away quickly.
Speaking of this month I need to warn Lucky about his parents plan. Otherwise I don’t know what will happen later.
God! Save me from this month……..
*Asha Pov*“Asha! I don’t love you anymore like the way I do from the past two years.” Prem said in serious tone looking at me.The tears which are falling from a quite time from my eyes stilled hearing those words from his mouth.“What? You are joking right?” I asked him after finding my voice.“No! I am not joking at all.” He replied smiling.What is there to smile in this matter? After all this time now he is saying that he don’t love me anymore and smiling like he won something.I carefully tried to brush away the tears using right hand and said “I don’t know what you are doing Prem. Why don’t you love me anymore?”“That’s because our daughter took the same love which I had for you. You are the one who gave me this precious gift which means I love you so much more than before that I can’t even express properly.” He replied and kissed my forehead.“You just gave me a heart attack Prem.” I said glaring at him.“Oh! I should have told you properly then.” He said rubbing his neck and
*Prem Pov*“She doesn’t love me and I am still waiting for the day when she will love me too. I fear that she will not love me like ever sometimes.” I replied sighing and immediately regretted telling them.Yeah they are our friends but she doesn’t even know that I am feeling like this. Then how can I share this with them.“Hey come inside! Why are you all standing outside like that?” hearing these words from Rahul made me come out of my thoughts and saw that all the girls reached.They all smiled awkwardly and entered inside. I looked at Asha to see her having a blank look on her face but she gave me a look of glare for a second.“What took you all so long?” Vicky asked looking at them.“We brought ice creams.” Sandhya replied.“But there is a condition. Every couple must eat from the same cup.” Gowri said suddenly.I think this is her own idea because all the girls looked at her in complete shock. As for us we are very excited.“Asha! Go and bring the bowls for us.” Gowri said and A
*Asha Pov*Hearing my question he looked at me for few minutes with blank expression. Oh! So he actually doesn’t want me to do the performances.I frowned and moved to look at the ceiling instead of him. What should I do now?Should I give it up for him or should I make him understand more? I drowned myself with all these thoughts then I suddenly heard him laughing.I looked at him in shock and asked “What?”“Your face! It was hilarious.” He replied laughing.“Huh?” that’s all I said because I am not getting it.After controlling himself he lifted his head with the help of his hand and looked at me smiling.“Stupid Asha! I want you to give all the performances. That’s why I am behind you to work more and be able to dance without any pain.” He said smiling.“Really?” I asked him in amazement.He placed his other hand on my face and toched below my eyes with his fingers saying “There is some shine in your eyes when you are giving those performances to everyone. And now your eyes are shi
*Asha Pov*“Thank god!” These are the first words I uttered when my cast is removed.As for Prem he said “Finally!”We both said in such a dramatic way that the doctor chuckled at us.“For four days it will be little difficult for you to walk but after that it will be ok. Use some help and try to walk for atleast two hours everyday for these four days.” Doctor said smiling and prescribed some medicines.“Sure!” We both said at a time and left the hospital.Prem started driving us towards our home. I glanced at him for every two minutes because I am still in little shock.Actually what happened is! In the morning before leaving for office he told me that he will come in the evening at 5 so that we can go to the hospital together.But I thought he will call me any minute during the day to say he can’t come as he is busy or something. So I made my own arrangements.When he showed up entering our home sharply at 5pm I was stunned. I know he cares for me but never thought he would leave hi
*Asha Pov*It’s been one week since we talked to each other. We just have this cold war between us ignoring each other and just acted like other person is not even present.Well this is not what happened in reality. We didn’t ignore each other and actually exchanged quite a few words between us.Everyday I wake up with his hand holding me. Then I release myself slowly from him trying to not wake him up and please do note ‘Try’. But he always opens his eyes when I even move a little bit.We exchange ‘Good mornings’ and ‘Good nights’ normally. While having breakfast he asks me ‘whether I am taking my medicines or not?’ and also about my leg.I give him my replies politely not at all ignoring his questions. In the evenings I finish my dinner before him and try to sleep soon before he arrives.I thought after I told him how his late timings are actually affecting me he would change. But no he is the same and coming home even past 9pm.The only thing that is totally different is we both ar
*Rahul Pov*I entered our new home calmly with Gowri following me carrying Abhi. She took Abhi to his room and layed him down as he is already sleeping.“Rahul! I hope you are not taking his words seriously.” She said when we entered our bedroom.“I didn’t take them to my heart Gowri. It is just that I fear for their relation.” I said frowning.“What do you mean?” She asked sitting down beside me on our bed.“Didn you see that he was late? I saw her checking the clock for every ten minutes and then she looks at the door. Now he is asking and no actually ordering her to stop from giving performances.” I replied.“Yeah! If it continues like this both may get hurt in the end.” She said understanding.“Do you think we should have stopped them from getting married so early?” I asked her my fear out loud.“I don’t think so Rahul. Which couple doesn’t have problems at their starting point of journey? He cares for her so much and we all saw that. They both are mature and I am sure they will b
*Asha Pov*This pain is killing me!I opened my eyes and look beside me to see an empty space. Then I saw a slip in his place.I helped myself to sit up and opened the slip. It is read:I am leaving for my office. I put the breakfast beside you.I tried to wake you up but you were lights out completely maybe because of the medicines.I will send lunch for you or I will come.Call me if you need anything.Prem..I smiled and got up from the bed using crutch which I placed it yesterday evening. After getting freshen up, I had the breakfast he placed on the table beside the bed.While eating I thought about yesterday how he took care of me. Fed me some food against my protest and made me took my tablets.He didn’t even allow me to use the crutch but I reasoned him saying I need it when he goes to office right. So I really need to get used to it.I talked to Sandy and Mandira after sometime as I am getting bored completely. Then finally his attender arrived with the food.I took it poliet
*Prem Pov*“Prem! Will we have time after the programme to reach the airport?” Asha asked getting ready infront of the dressing table.I hugged her from behind and said “We will have so much time after that. Our flight is at 1pm.”“That’s good. I have packed all our clothes except comfortable attire for us both to change after returning to the hotel” She said leaing against me.“Are you ready for today’s performance?” I asked turning her around.“Just nervous about last stunt.” She replied playing with her fingers. Which is actually sign that she is nervous.These few days made me know about her more than I even thought. She too know what I am thinking mostly all the time.“Can’t you guys skip it?” I asked her worriedly.“I will be fine I guess. I will have support of the rope from above us.” She replied assuring me.I nodded and we both reached the auditorium along with our friends. She left us to go to the green room and we all took our places in the front row.After sometime their
*Asha Pov*I woke up hearing the blazing alarm beside me. I tried to get up but it felt like I am struck to this bed.I opened my eyes and saw that Prem holding me tightly. He is still sleeping so I slowly removed myself and started getting ready.When I came out of the shower I saw Prem sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes.“Good Morning.” I said and started drying my hair.“Good morning! Shall I order our breakfast?” He said getting down from the bed.“No need for that. I will prepare some breakfast for both of us.” I replied turning towards him.“I bought some groceries yesterday.” I added answering his unasked question.“That’s great! And about yesterday I am sorry Asha.” He said coming near me.“That is totally fine Prem. I can understand that you were busy.” I said smiling and hugging.He returned the hug and said “Thanks for understanding. I will get ready and tell you some great news.”Saying this he released me and went inside the wash room. I shook my head and walked towards
