Soumya was watching the movie with Anika, gauri and prinku but her mind was with Rudra only…she’s thinking about him and about that almost kiss…the sensation of his hot breath over her face…he was about to kiss her…and it was like a dream…
She loves her husband…yes! And that too so much…she smiled instantly…well, she loved him from first sight…he’s her love
Prinku-Soumya?
Soumya was day dreaming, Prinku called her for so many times but she’s too lost in her thoughts
Anika-Soumya, what’s happening?
Soumya-no…nothing, I’m sorry bhabhi, I’m thinking about studies
She bitted her lower lip when she lied and then smiled to Anika
Gauri-let’s go to sleep?
Soumya-yes!
Anika smiled
Anika-but…first…Happy birthday Soumya!!!
Anika clapped her hands and hugged Soumya tight
Gauri-it’s midnight, so officially today is your birthday and we wanted to be first one to wish but I know that Rudra has already wished you, he won’t wait for midnight or tomorrow right?!
Soumya smiles and nodded positively
Even so Rudra doesn’t wished her…he will wish her soon or tomorrow..actually her birthday is for tomorrow even if officially tomorrow starts already…
But Soumya won’t disappoint Anika excited look
Anika-I will give my gift tomorrow but this is for now
Anika handed to her a rapped box
Gauri and prinku also handed her gift.
Soumya-but…this is too much bhabhi….thank you
Soumya hugged trio tight
Soumya-I will open it tomorrow, ok?
Anika-ok…you do what you want…you know Soumya…I’m so happy to have you as my Rudra’s wife…Rudra deserves you the way you deserve him and you too are matching each other a lot…you look cute together
Soumya-really?
Soumya happily looked at Anika…this sentence was the best gift ever
*****
In the other side, Rudra is waiting in the room
She took so much time to come back…
That movie won’t finish after two hours?
He doesn’t believe when finally she comes inside the room and enters so fast, she’s looking so happy while he’s burning and waiting…she hides something in the closet and then she looks at him
He looks the other side…he’s angry after all
Soumya-Ru…
Rudra-good night!
He said starts preparing the bed nervously
Soumya-Rudra?
He doesn’t answer
Soumya-Rudra?…why you’re angry?
He looked at her arching his eyebrow
Rudra-who told you that I’m angry?
Soumya-your eyes…
Rudra-what?
Rudra felt his anger melting
Soumya-I’m sorry I went with bhabhi…
Rudra-there is a word you can use with people Soumya and that word is “no”
Soumya-no?
Rudra-bhabhi doesn’t force u to go with her, you could refuse
Soumya-why?
He starts to feel anger burning him and he just throws the sheets of bed away
Rudra-you don’t know?
Soumya-no!
Rudra-you were with me at that moment, why you went?
Soumya-because Anika bhabhi invited me to…
Rudra-watch movie?…which is more important for you, me or that damn movie?!
He asked finally and then he looked back at his laptop
Out of stress, he opened it and starts typing like a maniac
Soumya-you…I mean…I went but not for the movie…I went with bhabhi
He doesn’t answer, he silently types on laptop
Soumya-are you working, Rudra?
Rudra-YES!
He screamed out of anger
And that was it for Soumya…she can’t bear his anger and that’s the first time he screamed like that, her eyes became teary and she left running to the bathroom
***
He made her cry…he’s the reason she’s crying now in the bathroom
He stands closer from the door of bathroom and heard her sobs
He knocked
She doesn’t answer
Rudra-Soumya! Open this door now!
She opened it instantly pouting…her eyes are red he knew it but she’s lowering them and he couldn’t see…her lips are poufy
She walked pass him but he couldn’t anymore…he retains her…he holds her hand and then suddenly made her get crushed against him
She looked up at him innocently
Soumya-I’m sorry Rudra…I can’t understand you, I’m trying to be good wife but…
A tear falls from her eye and before she reaches her cheek…Rudra’s finger wiped it away
Rudra-you’re my wife…and…you’re so much for me
He said huskily but he’s also hurting
She looked instantly at him
Rudra-you’re…
He hesitated
She’s what?
His life?…his dream?…his everything?
His fingers deep in her hair, he made her come closer that he’s feeling her every beat of heart and every breath she’s taking
Her softness and warmness all together…against him
Rudra-Soumya…don’t cry ever!
He said it in a way…she nodded positively without any hesitation
Rudra-I want to see your smile
She smiled instantly, he cupped her face…he was about to lean and kiss her but he won’t…she’s looking even more innocent when she smiles
Rudra-I was angry but it’s not your fault, excuse my behavior
He kissed her forehead and then he carried her to the bed
Rudra-you sleep…
Soumya-and you?
Rudra-me too
He lied next to her and takes her in his arms…he’s sorry he made her cry…yes, he was angry but he won’t see her tears ever again…he won’t
***************************
Rudra wakes up us usually before Soumya…
He admired her innocent face while sleeping and kissed her forehead
He resisted himself to not kiss her pouty lips…
He will wait to have their first kiss when she would be awake and conscious about it and then he’s also guilty about his behavior yesterday…
He gets up from bed to get prepare
After his shower, he starts to wear his clothes when he heard a knock on the door
He opens it
And it’s again Anika
Anika-Rudra?
Rudra-she’s sleeping and it’s early bhabhi
Anika-no..I’m not here for Soumya, come!
Anika pushed him out of the bedroom
Rudra-what is it bhabhi?
He closed the bedroom door
Anika-you don’t know what is it today?
Rudra-what?
Anika-you really don’t know?
Rudra-bhabhi, please, talk!
Anika-it’s Soumya’s birthday, I know you wished it to her, actually me too I wished her yesterday but what next? Are you not planning for anything? Because I’m goanna prepare a surprise party, will you help me?
Rudra felt something he doesn’t experienced yet, a mixture of anger and guiltiness
Anika-would you bring Soumya at 6 o clock and call her friends to come too
He nodded positively
Rudra-ok, I will take care of all!
Anika smiled and walked away
He sighed and then walked back to the room closing the door behind
*******************
Rudra sits back in the edge of the bed to admire her
He held her hand and then kissed it
If he knew about it …he would never be angry at her and he would have wished her from yesterday midnight
And how dare him not to know about her birthday
Too lost in her, he forgets about the days and dates
What should he do?
Cancel the office for today…and find a way to get her away of here?!
What she loves the most?
He will ask her when she wakes up
Soumya opens her eyes to meet two brown eyes staring at her
She closed her eyes again and opened and then closed and opened
She’s surprised…he’s not angry anymore…wait! When they slept he stopped being angry
Rudra-good morning
She rubbed her eyes, smiling cutely
Soumya-good morning, you’re not angry on me anymore?
Rudra-no…I…
Soumya smiled and before he speaks further..she hugs him for a second…but it was enough to make him numb
Soumya-I’m goanna get ready for college, you will drop me?…it’s late for you?
Soumya said and then looked at him
She runs from there…
He closed his eyes nervously what should he do?…he doesn’t wished her yesterday but now he can…he has only to open his mouth…
Why she doesn’t tell him about her birthday???
Which gift he could give her?!!!
How can he be a loser?!
He should do something but what?!
