"Hello Laksh ji!" I said with tease in my voice.

It's evening and he called me to talk sometime with me as both of us were busy from morning and couldn't talk.

"Laksh JI?" He said stressing the word JI.

"What's this sudden respect?" He asked with confusion.

"Nani said we should respect our husband!" I stated smirking.

"It sounds so old yaar wifey! Don't call me that." He said whinning.

I bursted out into laughter imagining his cute face.

"Stop teasing me wifey!" He whinned again.

"Ok sorry!" I said muffling my laugh.

"How were the paranthas?" I asked him smiling.

"Yummy! They had become my favourite after ma's paranthas." He said excitedly.

I am happy that he liked it.

"Happy that you liked them hubby!" I said smiling to myself.

We spoke for some more time when my phone vibrated.

"I will call you in two minutes!" I said him.

He said ok and I took the other call. The news made me upset. I cut the call and sat looking at the ceiling. Laksh called me after five minutes. I took the phone.

"Hmm" I just hummed.

"What made you upset wifey?" He asked.

I know he will identify that I am upset.

"Shivam! He isn't coming tomorrow!" I told him what made me upset.

I told everything that happened between Shivam and me to Laksh few days ago. I never told that to anybody. Not even Papa. I don't know why I was always scared about my decision on that day for his future. Laksh consoled me saying that there was nothing wrong as I did it for his good. He is so understanding.

"May be he is busy!" He stated trying to console.

"May be he is upset!" I said thinking about the fact.

"Give me his number. I will try to convince him!" He said.

"No. He promised he will be there in every function of my marriage. He won't break his promise. He will be there on our engagement." I said as I know my best friend.

"Then be a good girl and cheer your mood. I don't like that sad face of my wifey!" He said making me smile.

"That's like a good girl!" He said surprising me.

"Hey how do you know that I am smiling?" I asked with surprise in my voice.

"Secret!" He said whispering.

I laughed hearing him.

"Ragu!" I heard Nanu's voice.

"Hubby I will talk to you later. Nanu is calling!" I said to him.

"Bye wifey! Miss you!" He said making me blush.

"Miss you too hubby!" I said blushing.

I composed myself and ran to Nanu who is in his room.

"Nanu!" I sat beside him on the couch.

"Were you upset that your Nani scolded you in the morning?" He asked caressing my hair.

I smiled and shook my head.

"She is an oldy. Don't take her words to your heart. You address him whatever he likes. It looks cute if you address him the way he likes." He said smiling.
