Hating Her

《Bonus Chapter》

Brinda's pov

We were painting together. I mean, i was painting on one canvas and him on another, and we are supposed to exchange the canvas after every few minutes. Riddhi saw it in a reel and suggested that i should try it with my husband, and so here we are.

"Woah! You filled the entire canvas. How am i supposed to continue it." Adhu asked, being the idiot he is.

"What have i drawn?" I asked enthusiastically.

"The scenery which we used to draw in nursery?" He asked, raising an eyebrow, and i want to punch him so bad.

"Yeah, what does it signify?" I asked hopefully.

"A new day?" He said, confused.

"Which signifies....." i tried to hint, and he kept looking at me with weird expression.

"A new begi......" i hinted.

"New beginning?" He answered in excitement.

"Yeah.... so?" I asked, hoping he'd guess.

"So?" He asked.

"Forget it. I'll draw another one, which would be easier to guess." I said and took another canvas and started painting.

After a few minutes, i handed him the canvas, hopefully.

"Uhh...? Some weird plant?" He said nervously.

"This is lotus, you idiot!" I huffed in annoyance.

"Uhh yeah, it's... it's lotus... right." He said, laughing nervously.

"What does it signify?" I asked calmly.

"Uh... flowers?" He said, and i physically held myself back from punching him.

"I'll go easy on you this time!" I said and picked another canvas.

After a minute, i passed the canvas to him after writing what i wanted him to understand. He takes a good look at it.

"Oh, you are pregnant!" He said casually. Okay, baby, we are killing your dad.

"WAIT, WHAT!!" He exclaimed, hugging me tightly. Okay, plan cancel.

"You are.... we are going to be parents!!" He said in excitement.

"Yeah, but for that, you really need to let me breathe." I said, and he quickly broke the hug and started caressing my cheeks with tears in his eyes. He lowered his hand and caressed my belly, chuckling softly.

"I am so happy!! That is what you were trying to tell me. That's why you were painting like a nursery kid?" He asked, and my smile vanished.

"I hate you!! The new beginning thing signified a new chapter in our life, and Lotus means new life!!" I said in a duh tone.

"So you were not kidding? You actually painted lotus?" He asked, amused, and i smacked his bicep.

"Go. To. Hell!" I said and got up.

"No, but orange, you are terrible at painting!" He said as if stating facts!!

"Yeah, whatever! You knew i was talking about a new beginning, and we were planning a child and still couldn't guess it!" I scoffed, rolling my eyes.

"Fine, i am sorry!" He said back, hugging me, burying his face in my neck.

"Do you think I'd be able to do it? Would i be able to be a good father?" He whispered. I wouldn't have heard him if we weren't standing this close.

I turned towards him, looking at him cupping his cheeks.
"It's a new experience for both of us. We'll learn together, grow together and besides we have our families with us so why are you worried!?" I asked softly.
