Now it’s my turn

She didn’t wake up at her usual time i.e. 7 AM. It was unlike of her to be late. I woke up & without disturbing her, went to the washroom to get fresh. After brushing my teeth, I was back again to our bedroom and I could see her cuddled up like a ball of wool. I snuggled up beside her and put my head on her flowing hair. She didn’t flinch. It was almost 8 and I was also getting late for work.

I hugged her from behind & whispered, ‘Babe? Hey, Aarushiii!’ She replied with a low & distant, ‘Hmm…’

I was concerned. I went to the other side of the bed and seeing her cute, innocent face, I knew the reason for her not being up yet. Her red nose said it all. She had this habit of catching a cold whenever she ate ice cream. And last night, she was on a roll.

We hosted a small gathering of our friends at our place for the successful completion of Aarushi’s graduation. Yes! She had to marry me because of some family problems & leave studies midway. The good news is she passed her graduation with ‘A’ grade. Now that’s something because she got better grades than me and I was so happy about it.

She was proud of her achievement & so was I. All our friends ate the chicken, puri, pulau & kheer made by her. She was more happy with the praises she received for her talent as a chef. I was smiling and so was my happy stomach.

After everybody left, we changed & were dreading for sleep because of tiredness. I had to work next day. I was on bed reading THE CATCHER IN THE RYE, she closed my eyes from behind and my face could feel a drop in the temperature. And then the smell of chocolate flavored ice cream made me smile again.

I hold her hand and took the bowl of ice cream from her. She came & sat on my lap, making me forget about the book. Aarushi was indeed a blessing to me. She could make me smile, anytime, anyplace. My romantic heart made me hold her waist & kiss her. She shied away. Her falling hair were covering her green eyes.

To make her feel normal, my naughty heart prompted me to tickle her. And I did. She jumped off on the bed as if she had seen a cockroach (she fears them like every other girl & I fear them too.) She was laughing at the top of her voice & swearing to stay away from me. But my mind had decided to forget decency that night.

She ran away from me but not for long. I got her in my arms and then fed her ice cream and had some of it from her lips too. And finally, the day ended in each other’s arms. Sleep, as usual, being the final destination of the day.

I was back to reality and got Vicks vapor rub & rubbed it on her nose. She was urging me to not do it but I insisted. She hugged me tight & slept. I texted my boss, ‘I am sick. Won’t go to work. Good day’ and now it was my time to make her smile just as she does to me, ALWAYS.

P.S.: Today’s pick is I knew this would be Love by Kina Grannis & Imaginary Future 🙂

Please knock someone else’s door

Please knock someone else’s door

And see whether they open it

Or flinch on hearing your knock

Because I am sure

They will turn a deaf ear

And pretend that it is pin drop silence around

As they don’t want to be troubled by you

By your narrow thoughts and ramblings

Please keep those negative vibes

To yourself and don’t let it be communicable

If you can’t spread happiness

Then simply don’t spread anything

And do favor on all of us

Once you know what others do

When you knock on others door

And see their reaction to it

Then come to me with a soft heart

Not a greedy heart as before

And you’ll be welcomed with a smile

Distinguish between genuine and fake people

And treat them likewise

Smiles to all

Laughs and hugs to the genuine ones

P.S.: Today’s pick is Sorry, blame it on me by Akon 🙂 Happy weekend and Happy navratri ❤ I love Sheldon & TBBT 😛

Counter clockwise moment..

I am trying to sleep staring at the ceiling of my room

Concentrating on the blades of the fan

How they are moving counter clockwise

And their peculiar movement brought back

All the hidden and long forgotten memories

It is as if I am looking on a projector

The blades of the fan not being any hindrance

I can see us talking on the couch

Laughing and teasing at the beginning

Being friends and exchanging numbers

Then talking to each other late nights

Trying to make the other smile when gloomy

Trying to make the other special

All those times of intermingled fingers

Of closeness and of intimate moments

All right there in front with the best smile

On her face and the feeling of completeness

On mine and the air filled with love and care

There were moments of tangos and dancing

And laughs and me on my knees

And she covering her face with her palm

There were moments of quarrels also

With her facing the other side

And me holding dairy milk but with vain

There were times of support also

When my Grandpa expired and she was there for me

Holding me right and trying her best to make me feel better

There were times of anger with no one letting go of ego

And not talking for weeks but just 1 sorry

1 smile was enough to make things straight

There were hugs and touches and locked lips and trust

It was US there and then a drop of tear

Rolled down from the corner of my right eye

It was like reality punched me at my gut

And all I could do was turn my side

Rub my face on the pillow

Hoping that she is happy and not going through the same phase

And not looking at the fan helped me

Avoid the past and gradually I was

Inside the blanket of sleep!!
