In Goenka mansion,
At 09:30pm,
~naira:
I came back to my room after having light dinner and completing the kitchen chores. I saw kartik sitting on the couch and doing his work. No doubt that I've always been his second wife. His first wife is his work. How much ever I try to make myself look more attractive in his eyes. I always fail. That work of his always has something which I don't have. Whole day he keeps announcing names of his clients to aman. The number of times he takes the names of his clients in the house is not even half the time he takes my name. Sometimes, I feel so jealous of his work. Dressing doesn't work. He just says, "Beautiful!" and again looks at the laptop or phone. More than hearing 'Baby', 'Sweetheart', 'Cutiepie', 'Jaan' from his mouth; all I've heard his 'Mr. Chang', 'Mr. Shekhawat', 'Mr. Oberoi', 'Mr. Mehra' and most importantly 'aman'. The word 'naira', he hardly pronounces it as if Government has put a ban on my name and he has to secretly use it while all the other names, if he says, he won't have to pay tax! I am still looking at him but he doesn't even know that I am present in this room. I stamp my foot on the floor and just go and lie on bed, covering myself from tip to toe. But that idiot still didn't bother. Now tomorrow, I'll do something unexpected for him.
At 12:00pm,
I came back to the mansion after going out. I just had my breakfast and without informing anyone about the place I was going, I left. I came back to the mansion and was searching for kartik. I have a surprise for kartik due to which he'll always look at me. I knew that no one's at home for now, since all are busy with some other work outside the house. And kartik will be alone, in our room. I went in and opened the door and saw him sitting with his first, adorable wife. But now, it's my turn. He'll look at me. I just went and stood in front of him and luckily, he drew his attention to me.
kartik: Yes naira?
naira: Stand up!
He gave me a questioning look
but then just stood up. I held his hand and we walked to the mirror. I turned my back to him and we could see our reflection in the mirror and,
naira: Unzip the dress!
kartik: What?
naira: you heard it right! There's a surprise for you!
He did as told to him while I was waiting for his reaction. And boom he was shocked.
kartik(loud): What the fuck is this?
naira: What? Don't you like it? You keep checking these names whole day so I thought if you like them so much, I should print them. Atleast, you'd give me some attention.
kartik: Really? Like seriously? You did this? Just for me to look at you!
naira: Isn't it amazing? Now whole day you'll keep your work aside and look at me.
I turned to face him and now the reflection of my back was on the mirror which was stared by kartik.
kartik: naira this the worst way of seeking my attention. You are making me more jealous. Damn, you have written aman's name too.
naira: Now if whole day you keep taking their names and keep reading them on laptop, what else can I do? Ha? Tell me!
kartik: Seriously?
naira: If you want then I'll go and remove this tattoo, but what will I get in return?
kartik: Whatever you want!
naira: It's Sunday today, so the next whole week, you should spend with me!
kartik: Done!
I went to have bath and after a while came back to kartik who was sitting on the couch holding his head, getting tensed.
naira: The tattoo is gone!
kartik: How?
naira: I had asked a friend of mine who works in a tattoo parlour to make this fake tattoo which looks real. Must say, I enjoyed your reaction!
kartik: Thank God! Even though it was fake, my tension and jealousy were real.
He came forward and put his right hand around my waist and the left hand on my cheek.
kartik: I don't want any other man's name on you!
