Part 5

Veer's pov..

I came back from the office and just dumped my bag on the couch and sat silently, closing my eyes.

"Very finally, you're here," I heard mom's voice.

"Yaa mom, I just came," I replied, looking up at her.

"Veer we are going to your uncle's house for puja, so tell Samaira to get ready; she didn't even come out of the room today, and veer she isn't fulfilling the duty of the DIL," said mom.

"Yes, mom, I'll take care of that," but inner me was like, "She's just 16; how would she fulfil her duty?" She was just a kid like Arvi, but I couldn't do anything because she was the daughter-in-law of this house."

I went to my room and found her sleeping with a pale face and dried tears. What happened to her?

I quickly freshened up, sat beside her, and ruffled her hair, to which she stirred in sleep.

"Samaira, wake up, mom is calling." I tried to wake her up in a soft tone because I knew something had happened to her, but what?

She opened her eyes slowly and said, "Please, today I am not in the mood to fight with you. Leave me alone. I am not feeling good." 

"What happened, Samaira?" "You can share anything with me," I asked, ruffling her hair.

"Nothing, please," she muttered.

"Ok, then go and get ready; mom is calling you downstairs; they are going for a puja," I said.

"Noo, I want to sleep," she said and turned the other way.

"Samaira uthoo (Samaira wakeup)" I shake her.

"Aahhh, Veer, don't," she hissed in pain.

"What happened, kya hua?" I asked if she was tensed because I really don't know why she was behaving like this.

"My stomach, aah, it hurts," she cried, clutching her stomach.

"Maybe food poison," I said to her.

"Nooo, nothing, just go away." Why is she behaving like this?

"Kya hua samaira" mujhe bolo I'll help you. (Whatever happens, Samaira, tell me I'll help you.) I said to her, holding her hand.

"It hurts very much," she cried.

"Doctor ko call karu (should I call the doctor?)" I think I should call the doctor.

"No, no," she shook her head, "damn this girl."

I made her turn towards me, and then my eyes travelled to the bedsheet, which had blood stains.. ooo, fuck, was she bleeding? Or may be because of her...

"Samaira, you are bleeding." Her eyes widened. She was looking here and there, being embarassed.

"It's ok, Samaira, you don't need to be ashamed; it's normal," I said, patting her head, to which she nodded slightly.

"The pain is unbearable," she said with teary eyes. I really didn't know what to do, but I couldn't ask Mom what she thought of me. 

"Listen samaira "First, go to the restroom and change yourself. I am coming," I said, and she went to the restroom.

I quickly changed the bedsheet.

And then I went downstairs.

"Mom Samaira isn't going with you all," I said to Mom.

"What for?" she asked.

"Because if she go with you all then who will take care of me.. and I have a presentation to complete, let her stay with me; she will make coffee for me from time to time," I said to mom, and she nodded, and then dadi and mom left.

I went to the kitchen and made vegetable soup for her, then went to my room and found her sitting on the bed.

"Sam, finish this soup." She didn't say anything and silently finished the soup.

"Veer, it's hurting so much," now what would I do? She was in extreme pain, as I could tell by her pale face...

"Samaira, you are strong enough to bear this pain right," I said to her, to which she nodded.

"Listen Samaira I am just coming in 15 minutes. You sleep okay?" I said to her, to which she nodded. I kissed her forehead, took the car keys, and left the mansion.

_______________________________

I came back after 20 minutes. I brought some dark chocolates, painkillers that my family doctor prescribed, and two buckets of ice cream.

I found her sitting silently.

"I told you to sleep right," I said sternly.

"I am not able to sleep; this pain is unbearable," she said meekly and pouted.

"Ok, then have this medicine," I said, passing her a painkiller and a glass of water.

"Ooii chota packet" (a small packet): "Want some chocolates?" I asked. Her eyes twinkled, listening to chocolates. I actually wanted to cheer her mood.. and she bobbed her head like a baby.. yeah, she was my baby.. damn you, Veer, what were you thinking you were getting mad at?

"Take this," I told her, and she started eating chocolates, spreading them all over her lips, chin, and a little bit on her cheeks, and I was just wiping them off with the tissues from time to time.

"I want to watch a movie," she said. "Okay, now I know she wants to watch a movie."

"It's not hurting anymore, right?" I asked her.

"Nahi thoda saa paining," she said like a baby, and I nodded.

"Accha, tell me which movie you want to watch," I asked her.

"Annabelle comes home," my eyes widened.

"Q veer darrr gyee tum (veer did you get scared?)" she asked.. Actually, I was scared.

"No, no, no, I am not scared," I said sternly.

"Ok, then you sit here and we will watch the movie after 30 minutes," I said.

"Why 30 minutes?" she asked.

"Are you sitting na I am coming," I said to her and straightly went to the kitchen and started making white sauce pasta; do you know how to cook? And then some popcorn...

I served pasta on two plates and then popcorn and went upstairs; she was surprised to see pasta and popcorn in my hands.

"You made this," she asked, seeing pasta.

"Yess," I said and turned to leave.

"Ab kahan jaa rahe ho!" (Now where are you going?) She sounds irritated.

"Just 5 more minutes," I said and ran to the kitchen. I then took the two chocolate pastries from the refrigerator and also the two buckets of ice cream that I had bought a while ago and went upstairs.

"Ice cream and pastries, bhi," she said happily, and I nodded smiling.

I turned on my laptop and played "Annabelle comes home."

She was eating everything and watching happily, but I was scared, okay?

But I could see her happy face, which was doing some strange things to my heart.

When the film got to its end, I sighed in relief. I turned off the laptop and went downstairs and dumped the plates in the kitchen, then came to my room and laid down...

After sometime, I found someone who backhugged me.

"What happened, Samaira?" I asked.

"I am getting scared." Hahaha, I laughed in my mind now that she was getting scared.

I turned towards her and said, "Nothing will happen now, sleep, I am here," and started caressing her hair. In no time, she fell asleep, and I also fell asleep staring at her angelic face.

To be continued…

Part 6

Samaira's pov..

I woke up with the continuous ringing of my alarm.. where was my patidev maybe in the gym so today was the 25th of September, my 19th birthday.. hahah it's been 10 months of our marriage.. well, we weren't like a lovey-dovey couple.. well, abhi main choti hu yaar (well, I am still a baby), but you know what? We always fight like cats and dogs... but he was very arrogant but also understands me..

Veer's mom and his grandmother were really strict dudes, like really, but Veer was always with me..but you know he was a monster. Huh, but only mine, Monster.

"Good morning, chota packet," said Patidev (husband), who stepped inside the room after coming back from the gym.

"Good morning," I replied.

"Veer aaj kya hai?" I asked Veer, and I hope he knew today was my birthday.

"Sunday," he replied, "this monster."

"What is the date?" I asked him once again, hoping he would answer it correctly.

"September 25th," he answered, "this monster, I soo wanted to kill him."

"25. September ko kya hota hai" I asked, "Why was this monster testing my patience?"

"Yaar chota packet, why are you wasting my time? Go and freshen up, even though I have so many works to do." uughhh monster, I would kill you.. he forgot my birthday. I just stomped my feet and went to the bathroom.

______________________________

After taking a shower, I went downstairs and had breakfast with everyone.

Today was my birthday, and no one wished me. Not even mom and dad called me. Whyy.. I went upstairs and started watching TV. After sometime, I slept.

I woke up to the continuous banging of the door.

I opened the door to find Veer's grandmother standing there.

And she started her banter about how she could sleep like this when she was the DIL (daughter in law) of this house, blah blah. I was a kid, dude, couldn't they just understand?

"Yehi tumhare maa baap ne tumhe sikhaya hai hamesha sona aur kuch toh nahi aata hai (this is what your mom and dad taught you, huh, just sleeping and taking rest all the time)" Tears started forming in my eyes listening to her taunts.

"It's been 10 months of your marriage, but abhi tak (still), you didn't give us any good news." She is kidding right. I just turned 19, dude.

"Tum veer ko khush rakhi bhi ho ki nahi huh (are you satisfying veer or not)?" What the hell was she saying? VERE where were you saving me?

"Kahin maine veer ki shaadi kahi galat jagah to nahi kardi (I think I chose the wrong girl for my veer)" I was continuously crying because of her taunts. Today was my birthday, and they were treating me like this.

"Kya hua daadi, is there any problem (what happened daadi)?" Huff, finally my savior, Cum Monster, Cum Patidev (husband), was here.

And then she started complaining about me in front of Veer.

And Veer listened to everything calmly and then said, "It's ok, Daadi, I'll handle her; you don't need to take tension." And Daadi left.

I silently sat on the bed, and tears started coming from my eyes, and then my partner sat beside me.

"What happened, Sam?" "Why are you crying?" He asked, holding my hand, and I didn't reply.

"We are friends right, you can share anything with me now say what happened," he asked once again.

"I was getting bored, no one was talking with me, everyone was busy, so I was watching TV, and then I slept..suddenly, daadi came and started scolding me, "Unhone bohot, kuch bola, even mom dad Ko lekar bhi (granny said so many things to me)," I somehow said to him, with teary eyes.

"Sshh, bass, bass, now stop crying," and he wiped my tears.

"She always behaved with me like this. I mean, Meri Galti Kya Hai?" I said to him.

"You are not at fault, it's ok," he replied politely.

"Vedika mam is calling you downstairs." Now my sasumom (mother-in-law) was calling me.

__________________________________

"Mom, you called," asked Samaira.

"Samaira, your mom and dad invited us for some puja, so be ready at 6 p.m.," Vedika answered.

"Ok, mom, anything else?" Samaira asked.

"Yeah, just make a cup of coffee for me," Vedika replied, and she nodded.

She went to the kitchen and made coffee for her sasumom (mother-in-law) and gave that to her.

"Samaira, go and tell Manik to bring that XYZ file in for study," Harsh said to Nandini, to which she nodded and went upstairs.

_________________________

Veer was sitting on the corner of the bed, doing something on his phone, just when Samaira entered.

"Veer woh.." she was about to say, but her leg got tripped and she fell on the top of veer.

This was the first time they were this close. They both stared deeply into each other's eyes. Some hair strands were falling on her face, blocking the view of her angelic face, so he tucked her hair behind her ears. Veer's hand landed on her waist, and she just shivered at his touch; he changed positions and came on top of her.

Both looked deep into each other's eyes. He held her left hand, entwined it with his right hand, pinned it to the bedsheet, and dipped his face in the crook of her neck.

A cold current ran through her spine when his warm lips touched her neck. She closed her eyes, feeling him this close to her for the very first time. This was the first time she had felt like this, and her heart was beating hard and fast. When he started giving wet kisses to her neck, she dug her nails into his hand.

As she couldn't take it anymore, she freed her hand from his grip and clutched his shoulder tightly, feeling uncontrollable pleasure. She arched her neck, giving him more access. He trailed numerous wet kisses down her neck to her collarbone, to which she moaned softly, closing her eyes.

They were in their own pleasure world, but Veer's dad's yell from the study room brought them back to reality. He straightened himself and left while Samaira sat on the bed, breathing heavily.

They were in their own pleasure world, but Veer's dad's yell from the study room brought them back to reality. He straightened himself and left, while Samaira sat on the bed, breathing heavily.

Samaira's pov..

What was it that I never felt like this before.. he was so close to me.. like so close.. but why I didn't feel uncomfortable.. I mean, I was loving his touch. I know we were husband and wife. But this.. ooh gosssshhh.. it's ok Samairt, stop thinking about all this..

Veer's pov..

How could you veer, how could you lose your control? I mean, I know she is my wife, but she is too small for all this.. but she was reacting to my touch. I mean, I affect her, and I didn't know that.

"Veer, where are you lost?" my dad yelled at me, which broke my trance.

"Woh.. woh.. " why the hell I was stammering, dude?

"It's ok, leave all this and check this file," she said, "so hurry up and stop thinking about her." I started checking the file.

________________________________

In evening..

"Samaira, go and get ready. We are going to your parents' house, and everyone is left," said Veer, without looking here and there as he was very embarrassed of what he did. She nodded and was about to go to the washroom when Veer held her hand.

"Samaira..umm..I mean," Veer stuttered, biting his lips, while Sam was looking at his face.

"What the veer?" she asked, being confused.

"Umm yeah.. I amm.. sorry," she apologized. "I mean, I am sorry for what had happened.." His sentence was cut off as Samuela placed her index finger on his lips.

"Ssshhh, you don't need to say sorry, that was the best moment." saying this, she went inside the washroom, leaving a blushing woman behind.

Samaira's pov..

Phirse (again) Indian wear. Ughh, I hate this.. why always do Indians wear Bhagwan Jiii (God)?

She quickly wore her dress and applied a minimal amount of makeup.

"Oooiii chota packet (small) ready?" he asked.. and she nodded, still applying her lipgloss.

___________________________

Samaira's pov..

He forgot my birthday. Everyone forgot my birthday, whyyy whyy..no one wished me..

"Samaira, come sit in the car fast," my monster patidev (husband) called me.

I quickly sat on the passenger seat silently. My mood was really off, like really.

"Hey, what happened?" my patidev (husband) asked me while his whole concentration was on the road as he was driving.

"Nothing," I replied, "but inside me, I was like, huh, nothing but I would kill you and sell you to some factory monster."

"We reached." My patidev (husband) said happily, and I stepped out of the car without saying anything.

"Samaira, wait," but I ignored him and started walking, but then someone held my hand and pulled me with a jerk. 

"What in the hell are you doing?" I asked him as he tried to control my erratic heartbeat.

"Ssshhh," he shushed me by putting his index finger on my lips.

"Now wait," saying this, he blindfolded me. Now what the hell was happening?

"Now hold my hand tightly," said my patidev (husband). I held his hand and started walking, but I was about to fall because of my high heels.. so he picked me up in his arms.. oh gosh, why was I feeling like this? Samaira control..

"Veer itna dark kyu hai (Manik, why is this so dark)?" I asked as he put me down and opened my blindfold.

And then, booommmmmm.

Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday, Dear Samaira! Happy birthday to you!

Omg, everyone was there.

_________________

"Thank you everyone, thank you," I said, clapping my hands. "Omg, this was really awesome. This surprise was really awesome."

"Happy Birthday Baccha," my mom wished me, and I hugged her. And then dad and bro.

"Happy birthday, Samaira," ooh gosh, sasumom (my mother-in-law) wished me.. and I said thank you.. and then dadi and Arvi and Sasurjiii (my father-in-law) joined in..

But where was my patidev? He didn't wish me I turned around and saw him standing and smiling. He looked cute when he smiled. He walked towards me, and then.

"Happy Birthday, Chota Packet," and poked my nose.. and I made a grumpy pout.

"Thanks, monster," I said and slapped his arms lightly.

"Sam, come and cut the cake," said my mom. I nodded..

"Samaira, first make a wish," said Arvi, and I nodded.

I closed my eyes and made a wish.

And then I cut the cake.. and then first I fed mom, Sasumom, and everyone..

And at last, he also fed me.

"Thanks everyone for the surprise," I said as everyone sat in the living room.

"Samaira, you should thank Veer, it was his plan," said dad. "Oohh my god, my patidev (husband) did this for me.. oohh gosshh."

"Thanks, Veer," I said happily, and he just smiled. Huh, this arrogant monster.. welcome bolne par kitna cost lagta (does it cost anything to say welcome?)

After dinner, we came back to Malhotra Mansion. This monster didn't gift me anything. Sabne kuch diya (everyone gifted me something but he didn't).

"Ooii chota packet ice cream khane chale (oii small packet want to go out for ice cream)," asked Veer.

"I am not in a mood," I replied. "Ice cream gift toh diya nahi ice cream."

"Ok, then I am going bye." Huh, that monster was going alone. I so hate him.

"Oooiii wait, I am also coming," I said and ran behind him.

"You don't want to eat ice cream then," my monster cum patidev teased me.

"Shut up, you monster, and drive fast," I said. "No, no," I literally shouted, sitting inside the car.

"We reached," he said, stopping the car in front of an ice cream parlor.

"Wait, I am coming," he said, and left.

I stepped out of the car and started clicking selfies.

"Happy Birthday, Chota Packet!" Omg, my patidev startled me, and then he made me wear a pendant.

"This is from my side." This pendant was really nice, dude. My patidev wasn't that bad.

"Thank you!" I said happily.

"And this is also for you," he said, "and he made me wear one ring." Patidev was giving me a heart attack.

"Thank you, thank you," she said happily and kissed his cheeks. "Isssh galti se kiya" (damn, that was a mistake)... his eyes widened.

"Woh, where is ice cream?" I said in order to break this moment. This was really embarassing.

"Woh, take this," he told me.

And we started having ice cream.
