Chapter 19

Arjun and Banishree arrived home, and as they settled in, Arjun handed her a bag. "Try this on," he said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Isme kya hai?" (What's in this?) Banishree asked, peering inside the bag with curiosity.

"Pehen ke toh dekho," (Try it on and see) Arjun replied, leaving the room to give her some privacy.

Banishree held out the dress and was immediately struck by its beauty. It was a stunning red gown with intricate floral work. As she continued to explore the contents of the bag, she found a matching bra. Connecting the dots, she realised why her husband had seemed flustered earlier.

Quickly, she slipped into the dress and called out to Arjun. "Doctor Babu," she said excitedly, "Dekhiye na, hum kitne sundar lag rahe hai. Kitna pyara dress hai," (Look, how beautiful I look. Such a lovely dress) she exclaimed, twirling in front of him.

Arjun's eyes widened in awe as he beheld Banishree in the red gown. "You look like the moon," he whispered, his voice filled with admiration. "I could gaze at you all day and all night."

Banishree's cheeks turned bright red as she blushed shyly. "Hume ye gown bahut pasand aaya, Doctor babu. Dhanyawad," she said coyly. ( I love the gown)

Arjun chuckled affectionately. "Shree...Shree...tum itni cute kyun ho?" he said, lifting her up and twirling her around. She laughed, her joyful laughter echoing in the room like music to his ears. As he held her close, she pressed her forehead against his chest. ( Why are you so cute?)

"Doctor Babu..." she whispered, her voice filled with emotion.

He hummed in response, waiting for her to continue.

"Hum aapse bahut pyar karte hai," she confessed, her eyes tightly closed, her cheeks flushing even deeper with emotion. ( I love you a lot)

Arjun's smile widened into a broad grin as he listened to Banishree's heartfelt confession. "You have made me the happiest man today, Shree," he said, his voice filled with love and gratitude. His eyes misty.

Banishree returned his smile, her eyes shining with happiness. Without hesitation, she leaned in, closing the distance between them, and their lips met in a passionate dance, sealing their love and affection for each other in a tender kiss.

They kissed till both of them were breathless. “Shree can we?” He asked. She nodded,“Ji” with a smile. She lay down on the bed. He removed her gown. “I must say, you look more beautiful without the gown,” he said with a wink. She blushed deeper and looked at him with anticipation.

He removed his t-shirt. His toned muscles and broad shoulders made him look like a Greek god.

She could not resist the urge to touch his body. She traced his chest, abs, and shoulder with her delicate fingers. His body quivered with desire.
She smiled with the pleasure of giving him pleasure.

He bent and kissed her all over her body. Soon not only their bodies but their souls as well were connected in the most intimate way. They were covered in each other's sweat and bodily fluids.

He looked into her eyes, his face inches from hers, their noses touched. “Did I hurt you Shree?” He asked caressing her bareback. It was their first time. They were each other's first in the most intimate way. And he knew that they would be each other's last as well.

“I love you,” she said, “Hum aapko apni puri zindagi pyaar karenge. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye, Doctor Babu.” ( I will love you always, no matter what happens)

“And you mean the world to me, my sweet wife,” he said planting a kiss on her lips.

“Adhura sa hu tumhaare Bina, Shree,” He stared deep into her orbs that were filled pure love and admiration. ( I am incomplete without you)

“Ji nahi, Doctor Babu. Aap bohut kabil hai, humare bina bhi, humare saath bhi. Hume aapke tarah banna hai. Kabil.  Aapke kabil banna hai,” She said all the while looking straight in his eyes.

Arjun pulled Banishree closer, enveloping her in his embrace, and gently planted a chaste kiss on her forehead. He felt a surge of happiness knowing that his wife held him in such high regard.

"Shree, are you taking your pills on time?" he asked, his tone filled with concern. Banishree nodded in affirmation, reassuring him that she was following her medication schedule.

Arjun breathed a sigh of relief, but a subtle worry lingered in his mind. They hadn't used protection, and he didn't want her to get pregnant at this age. He hoped that Banishree was indeed taking her hormonal pills regularly.

"Suno shree, kisi aur ke liye nahi khud ke liye kabil banna zaruri hota hai. Samji?" (Listen, Shree, it's important to become capable not just for someone else but for yourself too. Understand?) he said. She nodded in agreement.

"Nahi, apne parivar ke liye kabil banna bhi zaruri hota hai," she said. (No, it's also important to become capable for your family.)

He smiled at her selflessness, appreciating her perspective.

Arjun woke up early, the first rays of sunlight gently streaming into the room. He leaned over and tenderly kissed Banishree's forehead before starting his day. With a sense of purpose, he set about his morning routine, mopping the room, doing laundry, and taking a refreshing shower. As the aroma of incense filled the air, he performed his morning Puja with devotion.

Lost in his work on his thesis, Arjun was startled when Banishree finally stirred awake. "Good morning, Shree," he greeted her warmly, but she blushed and shyly avoided his gaze, causing him to chuckle softly at her adorable reaction.

Hurrying into the bathroom, Banishree emerged wearing one of Arjun's cotton polo shirts and his track pants. Arjun couldn't help but laugh at the sight, finding her endearing in his oversized clothes.

"Wahah, chai rakhi hai, thoda garam karlo, kettle mein," he suggested, indicating the tea. Banishree nodded, her cheeks still flushed from embarrassment. ( Tea is kept there. Warm it up in the kettle)

As she poured the tea, her eyes fell upon Arjun's stethoscope. Picking it up, she walked over to him with a smile. "Doctor Babu, humko aapki Dil ki dhadkan sunni hai," she said, her eyes twinkling with affection. ( I want to hear your heartbeat)

Arjun looked at her, his heart swelling with fondness and amusement at her sweet gesture.
