"Daily I will wake up early"

"I will keep the house so clean that people will doubt whether I am a wife or detergent"

"Daily I will make food for you"

Shivaay chuckled reminiscing his wife's dreamy dialogues while standing in-front of the mirror and settling his hair. He turned behind and saw his wife sleeping.

Her mouth was slightly opened, legs spread wide almost filling the whole bed. He sat beside her and tucked those messy hair strands from her face. She smiled when his fingers brushed on her forehead.

He tenderly kissed on her temple. Her left hand started grasping the air in a way to touch her husband's face. He bent down and she smiled feeling those tiny prickling stubble.

"Annika.."

"Hmmm...."

"I'm going to office"

"Shivaay. What is the time ?"

He looked at his wrist watch and whispered, "8:35". Annika's eyes shrieked open and she hastily searched for her mobile.

She clearly remembered setting an alarm last night. How come ? She slammed the phone on the bed and looked at her husband.

"Shivaay, I set alarm.."

"And you turned it off too"

"Did I ?" She scratched her head while Shivaay removed those strands from her face.

"I told you right ? It's not gonna happen with you"

"Shivaay, all are your doing. I'm not sleeping earlier because you always do that"

Shivaay had a naughty smile on his face and scooted closer to her.

"What I always do, Annika ?"

"That...that.."

"Annika we are married for two years. Why can't you just name it out. It's called se—-"

Annika covered his mouth with her palm.

"Don't say it please"

Shivaay put her palm down and nuzzled into her neck crook. He peppered sloppy kisses on her neck while Annika lost herself in the proximity.

"I made breakfast for you. Don't pull any stunts as earlier. Relax and play with your Chamak Challo. Okay"

Annika softly hummed in response. With a last deep kiss on her neck, Shivaay moved back. He pecked on her forehead and made his way out.

On Call

"Yes, Annika"

"When will you come back ?"

"Why missing me already ? You complain that I always do that during nights but still you want me to be earlier ? Huh ?"

He exaggerated the 'THAT' much to Annika's burning cheeks. Their banter and teasing on call continued for good sometime. Thence, Annika played with Chamak Challo while walking in the living room.

Due to the heavy breeze, the white satin curtains blocked her way. She eyed those curtains and thought something.

"Chamak Challo shall we change the curtains ? Hmm what say ?"

Chamak Challo meowed as an approval. She placed the kitten down and went towards the store room. She remembered Shivaay saying that he kept all those new carpets, curtains during one of their conversation. She went inside the room and searched for the curtains.

"Wow this looks beautiful"

She picked up a pile of turquoise blended white curtain and ran downstairs. She brought an Aluminium Folding Ladder. As she was about to climb on the ladder her mobile caught her attention. It was Gauri.

"Hello Gauri"

"Bhojai.."

Annika closed her eyes in order to control her sobs. She hummed in response while Chamak Challo came and sat on her lap.

"How are you ? Bade Bhaiyya ?"

"We are fine, Gauri. First you tell me, how are you ? Om ? Rudy ?"

"Everyone is fine but we all really miss you two. Most of the times, Rudy calls me Annika Bhabhi absentmindedly" Gauri sadly chuckled.

"Don't worry, Gauri"

"Sorry for making you cry. I called you to tell you something really important"

"Hmm, tell me"

"Dadi said that today is a very auspicious day. Lightening diya is such a good sign. Tej Uncle denied us as usual but you can do it. Please Bhojai"

"Ok, Gauri, I will do it"

After sometime, they both ended the call. Annika placed the phone beside and left a heavy sigh. Auspicious Days are meant to celebrate with families. Annika wiped her tears and smiled looking towards her kitten. Chamak Challo slept on her lap itself. She ruffled its fur and placed it on the sofa. She took for diya from the store room. She started changing the curtains as she decided to light diya afterwards.

Then arranged all the lights along the living room recliners and floors. She looked around and smiled proudly at her own decorations. The heavy wind stopped and she started lighting the diya while Chamak Challo walked with her.

The kitten was about to catch the small fire but Annika shoved its hand. After complete lighting, she decided to call her husband. She searched for her mobile and remembered placing it on the bed.

"O Bete Ki! It's in the bedroom. Chamak Challo don't try to burn yourself and wait here. Ok ?"

She cutely warned while the kitten meowed in response.

Suddenly, the curtain fell from the railing's corner. Something she missed to hook properly. Chamak Challo went near the curtain and started pulling. The curtain slightly fell on the diya.

Chamak Challo frightened and ran back leaving the curtain. Annika came back and smell something weird in the air.

"Today I proved as a good GL. This Chamak Challo must be burning in envy"

Trust the god, hearing Annika, Chamak Challo surely would have rolled its eyes. She was about to call Shivaay but that's when she saw the fire. In shock, her mobile touched the floor. The fire caught on the curtain and the alarms started ringing. Annika carried Chamak Challo in her arms and ran towards the living room.

To Be Continued...
