Tum Mile 💖💕❣️

9.2

Preeta woke up and saw herself alone. She frowned but went to freshen up.
She had always been a lover of sarees so she thought to wear one.

She had just filled her hair partition with vermillion when the door to the walk in closet was opened and Karan walked in.

He froze in his track seeing her. His eyes fell on her hair where she had just put the red powder and something in his chest happened.

Oh! It was his heart. Which skipped a beat again.

Not giving her another glance he took out his clothes for the day and went to the washroom to shower.

"Itna bhi grump pati nhi chahiye tha mujhe bhagwaan. Bas itna kaha tha ki sirf mere liye smile kre. Mere saamne smile hi na kre nhi."

She mumbled to herself. She then went down and smiled seeing her father-in-law.

"Good morning papa!"

She greeted and his father looked up from his breakfast. He was shocked. It had been years that someone in the house had greeted him.

Everyone was so scared of him and his son had not greeted him ever.

A miniscule smile formed on his face and he replied.

"Good morning beta. Come and have breakfast."

He said and Preeta smiled.

"Mai Karan ke saath hi le lungi."

"Wo breakfast nhi krta. He usually have meeting at lunch toh clients ke saath seedha lunch hota hai uska."

Preeta nodded in understanding and sat with her father-in-law. He was shocked yet again. He thought she would sit after he left. He hadn't had breakfast with someone in years.

The father-son duo then left for office and Preeta sighed. She was all alone in the house now. Except for the house helps.

She first decided to be explore the house and familiarise herself. As she stepped out in the garden she forgot everything else. It was so beautifully made and looked like a little lake park.

She spent quite a lot of time there and then came back to the kitchen.

The cook was sitting casually playing games on his mobile and got up when he saw her entering.

"Kuch chahiye aapko madam? Kya bana du?"

Preeta smiled and said.

"Kuch nhi chahiye. Umm-papa aur Karan dinner ghar hi krte hai na?"

She asked the cook nodded.

"Aap kya banayenge aaj unke liye."

The cook told her what he had thought and Preeta said.

"Agar aapko koi problem na ho toh mai bana du aaj ka dinner. Meri pehli rasoi ki rasam bhi ho jaayegi."

The cook nodded and Preeta started the dinner preparation.

She made the vegetables and rice and the dough for chapattis was ready. Only the sweet dish was left now.

Since the cook had already thought of gulab jamuns she decided to make that only.

Making the initial preparation she put the oil in the pan to fry. After taking out all the fried gulab jamuns she put them in the sugar syrup and let them be.

She was putting the pan aside when her hand accidentally pushed the oil pan which was still boiling hot and the oil fell on her foot.

She screamed in pain and all the house help nearby came running. Preeta held her leg and tears fell her eyes continuously due to the immense pain she was feeling.

She felt someone pick her up and shout instructions to everyone. Her husband was back.

Karan couldn't concentrate on his meeting. The only thought in his mind was his newly wedded wife. Why had she started affecting his mind since day one?

So when he ran home to get a glimpse of her but instead heard her painful screams he rushed to her only to see her foot turning black due to the oil that fell on it.

Preeta snuggled into him sniffling and he spoke angrily.

"Kisne bola tha tumhe kitchen mai ghusne ko? Jab nhi aata khaana banana toh kyu gyi thi. Chot aur lagwa li."

He yelled and she cried more.

"Chilla kyu rhe hai aap? Khaana banana aata hai mujhe. Accident tha. Galti se hua."

She complained and he looked at her putting her on bed. He looked into her red, tearful eyes and slowly wiped her tears.

Their eyelock was broken by the house help who got chilled ice water in a bucket.

Karan immediately put her injured leg in it making her scream and clutch his hand tightly. He held her leg in place so that she doesn't pull it back out.

A month had passed since their marriage and Karan was still the same. He would sometimes do something that would make both his and hers heart flutter but then again went into his grumpy mode.

Preeta woke up to an empty bed and frowned. It was only 6 am. Where did her husband go?

He came out of the walk in closet all ready to go somewhere.

"Kaha jaa rhe hai?"

She asked and he replied still doing his work.

"Kuch kaam se Malaysia jaana hai."

Preeta looked at him wide eyed.

"Malaysia jaa rhe hai aur mujhe bataya bhi nhi. Bina mile jaane wale the?"

He didn't reply. She sighed and called him towards her. She knew his habit by now. He didn't initiate anything. But he never denied her when she initiated too.

He sat beside her and she hugged him making him gulp. She made him feel things that scared him.

"Kitne din nhi dikhenge aap mujhe?"

"Teen din."

She pouted and said.

"I'll miss you."

She said and then looked at him.

"Say that you'll also miss me."

He hummed looking away and she held his face making him face her.

Her eyes dropped to his lips and then back to his eyes. Then she said something that made him look at her wide eyed and shocked.

"Kiss me!"
