Roshni

"What should we do now Anav Ji", I asked him as I heard wolves howling at a distance.

"I don't know. There is no network in my phone", He said waving his phone in front of me. I sighed keeping my head on his shoulder.

"I feel tired", I told him looking at the dark sky.

"Are you scared of darkness?", He asked me. I shook my head in no.

"Not when someone is there with me. Only when I am alone that too a little bit", I told him to which he nodded running his fingers through my hair.

"It is going to rain soon", He said looking at the sky.

"I am glad you are with me otherwise I would have been terrified", I told him looking at my phone which still showed no network.

"You know I heard this road is haunted", He suddenly said. I hit his shoulder.

"Don't start. I would start crying otherwise", I told him as he laughed pulling me near him again.

"People say a woman in white saree roams on this road with her long white hair open singing twinkle twinkle little star", He said as I glared at him.

"Twinkle Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are?"

I shouted listening to the sound covering my ears. I felt someone poking my elbow. I looked up to see him pointing at my phone.

It was my phone's alarm.

"You do have weird taste in music", he pointed out.

"It's time for me to go to bed", I told him switching off the alarm.

"People set alarm to get up and here you are setting alarms to go to bed. How nice Roshni?", He mocked me. I twisted my lips throwing my phone in the back seat.

"I am hungry", I told him.

"Wait", He said as he reached back and pulled out a bag full of snacks.

"Why are carrying this?", I asked him raising my eyebrow.

"You want to eat or not?", He asked. I shook my head before picking up a packet of chips. 

"I never share my chips with anyone. Not even Aadya. You are lucky", He said taking the packet from me.

"How nice? Aren't I, your other half? It's your responsibility to take care of me", I told him.

"Did somebody told you? You are a very thankless person", He told me. I rolled my eyes at him taking some chips from him.

"Thanks my foot. You didn't even say sorry once", I told him.

"I did say sorry a million times but you chose to ignore it", He said which I ignored again leaning back on my seat.

"See you did that again", He pointed out.

"I am tired. What should I do?", I asked him closing my eyes.

"Let me help", He said doing some adjustment in the seat so I can lie back.

"Are we stuck here today?", I asked him.

"I guess so", He said covering me with a blanket.

"Why do you carry these things with you?", I asked him pointing at the blanket as he lied back covering himself as well.

"I used to spend a lot of time in the office before our wedding. So I need to be ready. You never know when I have to stay at night as well so keep food and blanket stored. Just in case", He explained to which I nodded.

"You work too much", I told him.

"I had to start my company myself. There is no history of a programmer in our family. So I have to start from the complete start", He explained looking at the night sky visible from the glass rooftop.

"You were the reason I wanted to be a programmer", I told him looking at him. He turned to me with a surprised look.

"You knew me before marriage as well", He asked me surprised. I nodded.

"I used to admire your work so much when I was in school", I said remembering my school time. He was my first and only school crush. Another reason why I was shocked when Mumma send his wedding proposal for me.

"Not anymore?", He asked. 

"What do you want to hear?", I asked him as I felt my cheeks getting warm. I rubbed them to stop them from getting red.

"It was just a teenager crush", I said without thinking. I heard him whistling as I covered my face with my hands realizing what blunder I did.

"Don't do that please", I said with my red cheeks as he kept whistling.

"You had a crush on your future husband. How do you feel about it Roshni?", He said laughing at my face.

"Stop doing that Anav Ji. Don't you feel any shame whistling at your wife? What kind of husband are you?", I asked him as I heard him laughing trying to pry my hands away from my face.

"Acha fine but tell me your age when you had a crush on me", He asked pulling my hands away from my red face.

"Why do you have to know this? I never told anyone about it", I told him pouting hard.

"Was this your little secret?", He asked a little amused.

"It was so embarrassing I never had a crush on anyone. It was too new and weird for me. I felt like I was having a teenager hangover", I told him looking around.

"How cute?", He said teasing me.

"Stop it, Anav Ji. It is so embarrassing", I told him.

"So tell me how was it? Were you dreaming about our wedding or something like that", He asked me. I pushed him away.

"Eww no. I didn't dream about such things. It was just pure adoration. Not something romantic. And more than that you were 5 years older than me. I never wanted to marry an old man", I told him. The last part purely to irritate him.

"Who are you calling an old man here?", He asked me.

"Is there someone else except from me and you here", I asked him.

"Says the girl who had a crush on me and was dreaming to marry me from don't know when", He said as I started hitting him.

"I never dream of marrying you. Don't say this", I said with irritation punching his chest. I heard knocking on my side making me jump and hide my face in his neck.

Anav Ji pulled me close while sitting back in his seat and opened the door making me hold him tightly. Is he stupid? Somebody is out.

"I knew you would find us sooner or later", I heard him as I turned to find Adhi Bhai outside making me jump away from him.

"When I have a stupid for a brother I need to be careful", He said with a serious face.

 "Come out. The mechanic is here. They would take care of the car. You sit in mine", He said as Anav Ji came out and I followed him. This is so embarrassing.

"It was fun to know your secrets. Now I will tell you my secret, I knew Adhi would be here any minute that's why I started talking to you to know some of your secrets", He said as he smirked while sitting in the passenger seat while I looked at him with my mouth wide open.

"Close your mouth Roshni. There are mosquitoes here", He said and started whistling again. I glared at him as I made sure my head was covered with my veil and sat on the back seat. After a few minutes, Bhai came and started the car.

"How did you both end here?", Adhi Bhai asked Anav Ji.

"Actually I wanted to make my first date memorable that's why thought to have some jungle Romance", Anav Ji said typing on his phone.

"Funny", Bhai said sarcastically.

"I know", Anav Ji said without looking at him. They are always fighting with each other. I thought twins were close to each other. Always loving and caring towards each other.

"I didn't find it funny", Bhai said in irritation.

"See. I told Mumma you have a very bad sense of humor", Anav Ji said looking out.

"I don't even know why I come to your rescue every time you are in danger. You irritate me all the time", Bhai said.

"Because I do the same bro. There is a reason why we have GPS attached to every single car belonging to us", Anav Ji said. GPS? Why didn't I know anything about it? I just want my bed at this moment. I am so sleepy.

As we entered inside the mansion.

"Don't make sounds. Everybody went to sleep", Bhai told Anav Ji.

"Nobody cares about us. I thought some daily soap drama would be going on inside but everybody is sleeping. Just wow. Where is Papa? I need to talk to him. Am I his son? How can he be this careless", Anav Ji said.

"I am not careless Anav Khurana. Just you are too stupid", I heard papa as he was leaning on the giant tree.

"Papa when did you start spying on me", Anav Ji asked in a bored tone.

"When I got a son like you? And the second thing I am not spying on you. I wasn't feeling sleepy", Papa said.

"Oh, why would you be able to sleep. Mumma went to Mama's house this evening only. How will you sleep now, papa? I feel bad for you", Anav Ji said making a sad face as he gave a hi-fi to Bhai.

"Anav, I am telling you to behave yourself. I am your father not the other way around. You just can't tease me. By the way, go to your room and sleep. This is not a time to come back. It is too late. If your mother isn't here it doesn't mean you would roam around till late. This time you took Roshni with you as well. I bet she would have denied but you would have forced her", Papa said as I pressed my lips together to stop myself from laughing.

"Papa you remember you loved me the most and now everything has changed. This is not fair papa. Not at all", Anav Ji said with irritation.

"Fine go to your room. It's too late. And have your food if you are hungry", He said as Anav Ji pulled me with him.

"Stop pulling me around like I am some kind of luggage", I told him.

"So you want me to pick you up in my arms lovingly. I won't mind though", He said and I pushed him away.

"What the hell is wrong with you Anav Ji? You are so shameless", I told him.

"Jaise Bhi hu tumhara hu", He said making me twist my lips in irritation(However I am, I am yours only)

I went to the kitchen to get the food. Chips didn't really fill my tummy. I went to our room after filling my tummy. I found him lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling. I changed and lied on the bed after putting pillows between us.

"I thought we were okay now", He said pointing to the pillows. I raised my eyebrows at him before turning my back to him.

"It is not okay from my side. I don't forgive anyone this easily", I told him covering myself with the warm blanket.

"But I can't sleep like this anymore. Don't you feel bad for your poor husband?", He asked and was about to remove the pillows when I turned to him and glared at him.

"If you remove these pillows I will throw a bucket full of water on your side of the back. You are welcome to sleep in the guest room", I told him as he huffed before lying back in his place. 

"I will make you pay for this", I heard him as I turned to him. He glared at me like a little baby whose chocolates are snatched from him.

"You Mr. Anav Khurana are not in any state to scare me", I told him as I switched off the light.

I heard him huffing as he holds my hands in a tight grip. I tried to pull my hands from his grip but to no avail.

"I can't sleep like this. If not cuddling I can at least hold your hands", He said pulling my hands close to his heart. I sighed before letting him do what he wants. I am too tired to argue anymore.

Before I knew I heard calm breathing from his side which signifies he is already asleep.

Sleeping Beauty. I smiled at the new nickname I gave to him as he was sleeping with his mouth slightly open. Like a small baby.

Sorry for the delay but I was busy with my studies. I wrote these updates earlier but needed to give a final touch. So here they are.

Share your views and yeah Anav is a little baby.

Till next time when I get time......
