Sona's POV:
Tick tick tick....
Urghhhhh...
Who the hell is making that irritating noise...
Let me sleep in peace...
I groaned and stuffing my face into the pillow I was back to my precious beauty sleep and in no time I was floating in my dreamy clouds but then again the same tick tick noise began hitting my eardrums and to throw away that irritating device I got up from the bed and the moment I opened my eyes my jaws dropped to the bed making its way to the floor while my eyes grew all round and big giving a competition to the yellow sun
The beast was only in a...
Towel🙈
Oh my my...
Just look at his back...
Damn hot...
Shut up...
You get up...
What...
Get up from this bloody bed and go touch it once...
Feel that wet back against your fingers...
No I don't...
Open your Chinese eyes and admire that enticing view you sleepy head...
I am not shameless like you..
Oh please...I am your subconscious mind...a part of you so technically we are one...
If I am shameless you are double shameless...
He is naked and your eyes are still open like a bat...
Oh please he is mine...
I have the right to see him...
So do I🤷♀️
Now stop fighting and let's eye rape him...
He was standing in front of the wardrobe taking out his clothes and we were busy watching his back...
His back was so muscular that I could see those 33 rings in his vertebral column...
His hair was wet...
Slowly seeping water from his head was wetting his back... drop by drop a line of water from his spine tracing his vertebral column became slightly rapid as it moved down but did not become disordered and within a lighting speed it escaped down in his towel🙈
Can I just touch it once...
Touch what??
That🙈
That what??
His mole on the back...
It's so captivating
"No you can't"
Shit... it's him...
Were my thoughts that loud??
"Because even I didn't touch it"
What do I do now??
Dig a hole for myself??
Hide in the bed sheet??
Or run to the washroom and lock myself??
"That drug is pretty contagious so we can't directly touch it"
He turned on his heels and that's when I noticed his phone in his hand...
Hushhhhh
He was on a call...
He didn't hear my thoughts...
I sighed a deeper relief and got down from the bed and began folding the bed sheet while he went to the dressing table
In the light of the sun peeping through the window, the tiny glistening pearl-like water droplets on his wet copper-colored skin seemed like mined diamonds and the moment so reminisced me of my crush Robert Pattinson from the Twilight saga...
Shit...
His skin shines under the sun...
Is my beast a vampire??
"No I am not"
Shit...did he hear again...
"I am a simple human so I can be late"
Ohhh
He is still on the call...
Chill Sona...
I went on setting the bed while he was busy in the mirror and I heard him again "Go get ready I'll make the breakfast...you'll be late for college"
I hummed in response and rushed to the washroom...
I took a quick shower and ran to the kitchen to make our lunch box...
Hurriedly I was grabbing the ingredients and all of sudden I felt a hold on my wrist and when I lifted my lashes the beast was standing right next to me with a small smile plastered to his lips...
"Let's have tea first"
I smiled back and took my cup from the kitchen slab...
With silence engulfing us we were having tea and abruptly he said "Sorry for yesterday"
"Sorry??" I frowned
"Last night I made everything uncomfortable fo-
"No you didn't"
My tone was much confident and true while his lips pressed tight suppressing his further words...
His face looked much calm and relaxed as he began sipping his tea admiring our garden view through the window...
"Can I ask you something??"
My question seemed like snatching his calmness as his actions stopped while I immediately assured "It's nothing related to last night"
He dropped the cup in the sink and leaned his bum to the edge of the slab as his arms crossed against his chest "Ask"
"How did you get the mark on your forehead??"
The moment those words escaped my mouth his face gleamed with a subtle joy kind of feeling while the corner of his lips arched upwards
His right hand reached his forehead rubbing his fingers over that mark as I saw him smiling in his lips as his lashes lowered...
Did he just blush??
The 35-year-old drunkard beast blushes??
Devaaaaa...
He blushes so beautifully...
Soooo cuteeee
Can I just hold this moment for a while...
I want to adore this red blushing beast...
Like seriously...
I have been around many men but none of them were this pure...
"You look cute when you blush"
My mouth spit out those words and his head snapped towards me while his lips sweetly pouted "Chup"
"Awwwwww...how cute" I leaned on the kitchen slab as I melted with his cute expression when he said that chup
"You are mad" he laughed at my dramatic action and twirling himself he rested his hands on the kitchen slab "It's a funny story"
"I want to know it...please tell na" I jumped in excitement and he cleared his throat to narrate the story
"When I was 4 I was very naughty...I never used to sit quietly in one place...Maa used to say that I have wheels under my legs...always running around without breaks...
One day when I was playing I saw a butterfly and I found it so attractive that I so wanted to touch its colorful wings...
I began screaming and running after it asking it to stop "Stop butterfly I want to hold your wings"
I tried catching it but it was flying...
I went on running in the whole garden requesting "I won't beat you...I'll only touch your wings"
But it didn't listen and entered the house...
I ran all over the house asking Maa's help and finally it settled on the kitchen window just above the sink
This time I used my brain...
Neither I shouted nor I ran...
I asked Maa to pick me up and settle me on the kitchen slab...
Then I slowly stood in the sink holding the grill of the window but the butterfly was at a little higher height...
Out stretching her hands Maa asked me to get down "Ajju come out of the sink"
But I was so stubborn
As the butterfly would fly away I sushed Maa with a finger on my lips "Chup"
Holding the grill of the window I lifted off my leg from the sink and kept it on the water tap...
This way I stood on both the water taps with two legs on each and I was so close to touching the butterfly...
I outstretched my hand to just touch it but my legs slipped on the tap and I was directly collapsed into the sink and during this process the sharp edge of the tap hit my head oozing a lot of blood and getting a deep cut
And this way I got this permanent mark on my forehead"
He narrated the story and I jumped again as my hands clapped in excitement "I am imagining you being small and running after the butterfly and it's so beautiful...
See I told you na...
You are cute"
He laughed again "I am not cute...
I am full of thorns"
"Thorns can grow into a beautiful rose too"
His laughter stopped as his voice gained a sharp tone "A rose when loses its petals it dies...no longer it remains beautiful"
"But that's how a new bud is born...hoping to grow like a beautiful flower one day"
I kept my hand on his as I said further "And one day this beast full of thorns will be beauty full of roses again"
A brief silence filled in the air as my words took a little time to convince his messed-up brain...
"We'll be together right??" His eyes waiting for the assurance as his lips wobbled
My fingers hugged his forearm as I blinked my eyes at him "We will"
******************
Days flew like birds and I got busy with my studies but made sure I was available for the baby beast...
Since the last incident he is slowly opening up to me and honestly, I didn't expect him to tell his childhood story but as I said he is slowly getting that comfort with me and I feel so contended...
Things have changed between us...
We don't feel the awkwardness that we used to feel in the initial days of our marriage...
And his presence has evoked an immense feeling of security that I roam around him without a dupatta
There were days when I used to lock the doors and check for the hidden cameras so as to protect myself from him but now I shamelessly jump around him in t-shirts and pajamas too...
He helps me in the kitchen and gives me a regular call to know whether I am doing good
Not only with household chores but also he helps me in my studies...
One day when I was damn sleepy and he wrote my assignments
And his handwriting is far better than mine...
It's neet unlike my chicken leg scribbling
Everything is going well except for that stupid girls...
They won't allow anyone to gel with me while I give a damn shit to their immature behavior...
But I do face problems with my missed part of the syllabus...
I visited the professors twice or thrice but their creepy looks just raise my bp and I stopped asking them for help...
I would prefer self-study but then I need proper guidance too...
When Arjun asks me about college and studies I lie to him saying it's going good so that he won't blame himself again...
I'll make every possible effort to make him feel good...

I was in the library when Raghav Dada called me asking me to come to the canteen...
I went to meet him and I saw one more man with him...
"Sona...this is Suhan"
Raghav Dada introduced that man while he outstretched his hand "Hi Sona"
Hesitatingly I extended my hand towards him "Hi"
"I bought your favorite vada pav...come have it" Suhan explained as he pulled out the chair for me...
I pressed a small smile at his gesture and took a seat next to Dada
"He is your senior and he'll help you with your missed topics"
My face was blank...
Probably Dada read my mind and he himself assured "Don't worry you can trust him...he is my cousin"
Dada passed me a genuine smile asking me to trust him with his words while that Suhan interrupted "Come on Sona...you can trust me with your everything...I won't eat you like that beast"
The moment he spoke that my blood boiled like lava while my hands slapped the table "How dare you call him that??"
I could feel the burning rage in my eyes while my teeth were gritting tight but Dada instantly patted my head "Sona...relax... Suhan is just joking"
"I am sorry yaar Sona...I was just trying to make you smile... forgive me please"
He held his ears making that not-so-good puppy face but I wasn't okay with that
LI tried my best to maintain a cold tone but I couldn't help myself and pointing my finger at him I screeched "Don't you dare speak a word about my husband"
"Sorry madam... extremely sorry" he joined his hands and apologized...
He looked genuine this time...
Dada got up on his feet
"You both keep talking I'll take a leave...
And Suhan help her with everything"
Suhan looked at me...
"Of course Dada...
We'll be together in everything now"
********
I know many of you feel Sona being so cringy but guys she is a 20-year-old girl falling in love for the first time and the attraction she feels about Arjun is natural...every minor detail about him is fascinating to her and that's how her character is...
Hope you are okay with it
And...
Will Suhan's arrival be a pricking thorn in Arjun Sona's blooming love??
