That night after dinner, Abhi marked his territory on the bed by lining up a string of pillows on the center of the bed. He took the right side of the bed, indicating silently that Pragya was free to occupy the left side. As he was fixing the pillows at the edge by adjusting his elbow on the bed, he fell on pragya who was sitting on the other side of pillow border.
Abhi got mesmerized seeing the beautiful pair of eyes which he think is made of magnet. He would have stayed there sinking in the depths of her eyes, but the reality sunk in.
He jumped from his place and ran and sat next to pragya taking her hands in his.
“ did I squeeze you? Did I hurt the baby? Baby are you alright?”
“ no Abhishek I am fine, did you get hurt?”
“ no I didn’t’
“ pragya why are you silent? Did you not like this marriage? Shall I stop it?”
“ no Abhishek its not like that. Its just that I am scared”
“why ?”
“ abhishek the amount of trust you gave on this stranger. I am scared that will I be able to fulfill it? Baba thinks me as his bahu I cant betray him”
“ pragya as I said earlier don’t think much. You are just going to pretend as my wife. In this room we are perfect strangers. You don’t have to do your wifely duties. Your job is just to take care of you and the baby.”
“ Pragya can I ask you something?” he came near her to ask about the father of the baby. But as he looked deep in to the face of Pragya he got lost in her eyes. Without realizing anything he said,
“ pragya you eyes.. eyes.. are ravishingly beautiful”
“whaaaaaat?”
“ I … I .. mean.. you eyes are devilishly scareful”
Pragya huffed in anger and said “ then why are u seeing it better close your eyes. Then you will not be scared scary doll”
“ woahh calm down woman, pity on me if u see me like this I will be ashes in seconds so cool down.”
“ abhishekk..”
“ easy easy don’t disturb your baby let it sleep. Or else your baby will be born like you – jungle billi”
She started to fight him again but hearing about the baby She meekly lay on the edge of her side of the bed. She moved to farther corner of the bed, trying to make her presence as unobtrusive as possible. As she was exhausted by the events of the last two days, she soon fell asleep. On the other side of the bed though, Abhi tried hard to sleep but he was both physically and mentally uncomfortable to sleep peacefully. While the impending wedding was plaguing his mind, the inability to sprawl himself fully on the bed as he normally does, cramped his body. After lying awake for a long time he finally slipped into a disturbed and restless sleep.
*****
Next day being a Sunday, Abhi went to meet Purab, his best friend since childhood. Purab worked as a software engineer in Abhi’s family business concern, Mehra Software Solutions. Purab married his love of life Bulbul immediately after he finished his engineering. In the six years of marriage both had come across a lot of hurdles.
When purab’s cousin brother and his wife went on a trip, they were met with a fatal accident which costed their lives. As no one was willing to give shelter to their two sons owing that there is no property on the kids name, purab and bulbul came forward and made them as their own. It was bulbul who insisted purab to adopt the kids from those prying relatives who runs after money. This made Abhi to respect bulbul a lot more than Purab and she too considers Abhi as her elder brother. And sometimes they both will team up with the kids sorry his nephews now and will tease Purab endlessly until he freaks out and runs from there not able to tolerate us. Now Bulbul is pregnant and she is in her 5 th month which made us so happy as we in the sense, me Purab and my nephews Rithwick and Roshan are expecting a little angel this time.
That time two little miscreants jumped on me pushing me back on my seat. The room was filled with roars of laughter as abhi laughed at the kids and tickled on them. Rithwick and roshan squealed in laughter and tried to stop Abhi with their little hands. After sometime, they managed themselves breathing hard. Purab tried to pull them but they both clutched Abhi’s shirt not willing to leave him. Purab called Bulbul to complain about their son’s mischeifs. But Abhi looked at him to zip his mouth coz he know at this time Bulbul will erupt like a volcano. Rithwick being the elder who is six years settled besides Abhi while roshan the younger and the naughtier who is of three years sat in abhi’s lap and started sucking Abhi’s index fingers as if he is enjoying an ice cream. Bulbul came hearing the sound was quite surprised
After the usual greetings, Bulbul went in to prepare tea for him glaring at Purab
“Purab, will you not give your wife any respite?” Abhi chided him mockingly as soon as Bulbul was out of earshot remarking their usual fights.
“Well, what can I do, Abhi? Every time I look at her cute face I irritate her more and we end up in fighting. But even though we fight a lot we do help each other.End result – a peace offering!” he spread his hands to indicate his helplessness.
“So the two of you are still fighting like cat and dog?” asked Abhi in amusement. “I thought you would have mellowed down over the years.”
“Abhi, you know me. I have always been the reasonable one in this marriage. But what can I do with an unreasonable woman like her?”
Just then Bulbul came in with the tea and overhearing him complaining about her, she sprung to her own defense.
“Abhi bhaiyya, don’t believe a word this man utters. He is always claiming to have so much work that he has no time for his wife or his sons. Tell me bhaiyya, is he the only one working in your office? I am sure the guy is just using work as an excuse to stay away from his family.”
“Tell me woman, which man in his right senses would enjoy returning home to a nagging wife like you.”
“Peace….. peace… peace,” Abhi intervened before the domestic bickering can snowball into a full blown fight.
“Purab, show some empathy for your pregnant wife and Bulbul dear, give your husband dear a little margin. By the way I came here not to settle your battles but to invite you and your family to my wedding.”
“What?” asked both of them in unison.
Purab rubbed his hands in glee saying, “Abhi bhai, so finally you are hooked, booked and are all ready to be cooked? Where is the guy who swore he will never get married for life and that he will never make the same mistakes we did? Has he fallen into the Mediterranean Sea enroute to Mumbai from London?”
Abhi turning red with embarrassment, bowed his head down.
“purab, see bhaiyya blushing! I think he is in love!!!” exclaimed Bulbul.
“Nothing like that Buls,” Abhi said brusquely.
“Who is the girl?” asked Purab curiously.
“Her name is Pragya Arora. We met at the university campus in London,” Abhi felt bad lying to his closest friend but he did not want anyone to know how he had met Pragya and why were they getting married. Her pregnancy is going to come out sooner or later and he did not want anyone to suspect the paternity of the child. He did not know why, but somehow he felt fiercely protective of that unborn baby.
“So it is a love marriage afterall! You liar!” Purab slapped him hard on the back.
Abhi did not dispute him. All he said was that this marriage is not going to change anything for him, little realizing that it is going to completely transform his life.
Three weeks later Abhi and Pragya were tied together in the bond of matrimony in a simple ceremony attended by his baba, his bua and a few of his close friends. This was followed by a grand reception for which all the employees of his company were invited, apart from the folk who attended the wedding. This was the beginning of a tumultuous journey for the two ‘strangers’.
