With fidgeting fingers I descend the downstairs. I stepped at the last stair and stopped. I looked around and found him on the dining table. He was still pressing his forehead and then rubbing. How should I do face him? I know he is my husband but how I go after what happened upstairs. I should have to my clam my nerves.
Take a deep breathe and release.
I did the same and walked toward him. I stood near his chair.
I: Does it he hurt ?
He looked up and immediately looked down. He shook his head in No and also removed his fingers. I sit next to his chair. I flipped my breakfast plate. There was silence and tension between us and it should be. He saw me in towel. I know I also saw him half naked but HE SAW ME IN TOWEL.
Mary brought our breakfast with smile. She served and left. He took his spoon and start stirring his oat meal.. Only spoons sound echoed in the room. I huffed and start focusing on my breakfast. After a while, I heard drop of spoon. I turned my attention to it. I heard his signed.
Randhir: I m sorry I didn't knew u was there. It was not my intention to barged in. I was just go there to take my suit.
He signed in relief.
Randhir: I m really sorry Sanyukta.
I looked at him and he is feeling really guilty for what happened before. But he should really feel guilty? He is gentleman as he never made advances on me and he is willing give me my space and time. May be it was an accident and wrong time of us.
I: U don't know have to be sorry. It was an accident.
He give me tight brief smile.
Randhir: Thanks... but still I m sorry...
I: Its fine...
I assured him with smile and he bought it.
Randhir: So we are okay on terms ?
I nodded my head frantically.
I: Yes....
Randhir: U know I thought when I saw u like that we...
But I cut him in middle. I don't want to talk about that more. And how I do when he saw me in towel not only my back but front too. I was so freaked out that time I forget when I turned back my front reflected in the mirror and he also saw that. His warmness on my left hand and I feel so strange in his warmness. My ears start burning.
Randhir: U okay ?
I looked at him and nodded.
Randhirr: I don't think so ur ear is turning pink.
I bit my cheeks inwardly and pressed my lips tightly. Red and pink shouldn't allowed on my cheeks. Not now especially.
I: Can we not talk about this. Its completely fine and it was completely an accident. And we are okay on good terms.
He arched an eyebrow. But I assured him with my smile.
Randhir: Sure... So let me tell u something else.
I: Yes...
I signed with heavy relief and we resumed our eating.
Randhir: Mr. Brosnan is organizing a charity ball today in evening and he invited me personally. So I was thinking will u come?
His question comes a very small voice like he is still not sure we are normal. I always find him confident while asking question to me but now his voice is timid. Didn't he accept we are okay? It is always him who make me comfortable may be this time is mine.
Yes... Go girl
I turned to him.
I: But I don't know any body here? And what type of charity ball is this ?
He left his bread and looked at my side. His grey eyes connected with mine.
Randhir: It is for homeless peoples. Whatever he get in charity he will build a shelter for them. And I think its ur time now to live the outside world. Apart from library or pool side.
I looked down immediately. Red color crawled inside my cheeks can't it stay from me especially when he is around me. He is very observant person.
Randhir: Answer ?
I: I will...
With a soft small voice and I can heard his chuckled.
Randhir: okay then... I m done. I m leaving.
I looked at him and smile. He grabbed his suit from the other chair and wear it.
Randhir: Good bye then... See u at five.
He walked away but I immediately stopped him.
I: I m sorry I shouldn't stopped u like this but what it is the timing of ball ?
Randhir: Its fine... and the timing is seven.
I nodded and he waved his two fingers for bye. I snickered he always do bye with two fingers and even whenever he goes to office he said " I m leaving " and come back " I m home". Nobody can say that behind that confident aura of his, he is different personality who fooled by his mother.

I completed my breakfast and took both ours plate to the kitchen. Mary was cleaning the kitchen. She saw me and immediately approached me. But I aside the plates and walked and put them in sink.
Mary: U don't have to.
I: Yes. I can coz its my home too and let me do something. U never allow me to do something. This is only I can do.
I smiled to her and left for the library.

I flipped the page of my book and someone knocked the room. I looked up and Mary was standing there with a little girl near about six or seven year old. She have puffed cheeks with fair white skin. She is wearing pink and white frock.
I: Come in...
They walked in and I straighten myself. The little girl give me questioned look.
I: Who is she ?
She smiled to her but the little girl forward her hand.
Girl: My name is Jessie. May I know who r u ?
I smiled and we did handshake.
I: My name is Sanyukta.
She narrowed her eyes.
Mary: She is my daughter. She came back today only from her sister's home.
Jessie: Why are u here ?
Mary: Sshhhh. Jessie she is Dhir's wife.
And her mouth wide opened like she gaped the fact.
Jessie: Mom can we talk alone ? Means she and I?
And this time I gaped at her. She talked so confidently and sternly like she is much older and matured than her age. But Mary eyed her. I grinned lightly.
I: Mary u can go. Let's have some girls talks.
I watched Jessie with amused eyes.
Mary: But dear...
I stop her with my hand and looked at her.
I: I m fine. We will be fine.
She nodded and left and I turned to cute little girl with puffed cheeks. I smiled to her but she averted and sit opposite of me on the couch and sit with crossed arms. She tries to intimidate and I feel amused.
Jessie: How can u be Dhir's wife ?
I looked at confusingly. What type of question is this and from this girl.
I: Coz we are married.
Jessie: But he promised me.
She pouted and I pressed my lips so tight not to laugh. She is really cute with the pout.
I: He promised u ?
She nodded vigorously. And I start laughing hard. After a moment I saw her. Her eyes were narrowed.
Jessie: Why r u laughing ?
I stopped my laugh and looked at her. I m surprised the way she is trying to intimidate.
I: Nothing...
Jessie: I saw u... So stop lying... Tell me how he can get married to u when he promised me?
I thought she looked cute with the pout only but she is looking very cute while angry. Her nose twisted. I coyly smiled.
I: I don't know. His mother liked me and we got married.
She huffed and fall back.
Jessie: He break my heart.
I heard her small voice and then sniff. Is she crying ? I got up and sit next to her. There was tears in her eyes. I hugged her.
I: Sshhh... Don't cry...
Jessie: He promised me and now he break my heart.
I: No he didn't.. He is good man.
Jessie: Yes... he is but he break my heart.
I pulled back and wiped her tears.
I: U love him ?
With sniff she shook her head and I smiled to her.
I: May be he loves u too.
She wiped her nose with back of her hand.
Jessie: Yes.. he told me... He loves me but now he will love u.
I m tongue tied. What should I say? How can this little girl said like this? How can be so sure that he will love me ? Especially when we are just in the learning phase. And moreover I don't know he likes me or not ? And talking about love here is totally different. And why she is talking like this?
I: Why r u saying like this ? and what u know about love ?
Jessie: Once he told me that when I become his wife he will love me more but now he will love u...
I bit my lower lip nervously. Will he do? This question popped inside my head. I mean we are bound by arrange marriage it is possible we can fall in love each other ? It is true that people find love in their marriage? If we didn't find then ? Will be divorce ?
Mary: Dear lunch is ready.
I land back to earth and looked at her. She left and spun my head to Jessie. Who is already looking at me. I give her a tight brief smile.
I: Want to go for lunch ?
She nodded and I offered my hand and we walked out of the library.
