Life after Marriage

Chapter 9

Priya pov
       The bus started. My friends made me to sit center and asked me to say what happened. I told them everything except the thing happen in office room. I don’t want to feel embarrassed in front of my friends. They asked me to open the gift. I took it and started to open. There was photo frame and a big kit kat. The photo frame consists of photos when he helped me from falling in temple and a photo In which my bracelet struck into his watch. Who took these photos and how he knows that I like kit kat. My friends started to tease me. They took chocolate from me and said they won’t give me. I pleaded with them but they didn’t care about it. Deeps asked me to call Vikram and talk to him. I saw the time it is only 6. So there is half an hour left for meeting. My friends went to back seat leaving me alone. I dialed the number by seeing visiting card and waited for him to attend the call. He took in second ring.
Vikram – Hello
I don’t know how to start the conversation. I was silent.
Vikram – Riya r u there
I – yeah. How do u know it’s me.
Vikram – Morning ur father gave ur number. Also I know that u will call after seeing the gift.
I – Who took these photos and how do u know that I love kit kat.
He chuckled.
Vikram – That photos were taken by my brother Vijay without my knowledge. And about kitkat I saw you eating it in temple and when I came to ur home u r fighting with ur anna for kitkat so I guessed it.
I – ohhh.
Vikram – Did u like my gift.
I – S I loved it but my friend took kitkat and not giving it to me.
Kiran – Baby we just played with u take it. This is the 1st gift from ur would be husband so its all yours. Don’t expect this everytime.
I was shocked they were hearing me. I turned bought kitkat from him and said both of the idiots get lost. They laughed and said sorry. They left giving me privacy. I heard laughing sound from phone.
I – Sorry my friends are always like this only.
Vikram – no problem. So u got ur kitkat right
I – S
There was silence we both didn’t talk  suddenly I heard someone saying to him “ Sir everything are ready for the meeting “. Vikram replied that he will come in few minutes.
Vikram – Sorry riya I have to go. Will call u later.
I – it’s ok no problem u don’t need to say sorry.
Vikram – Ok text me after u guys reached safely.
I – Hmm ok bye
Vikram – Bye dear.
I saved his number as ennavan ( my man)
  I was entering into street it was silent didn’t found anyone. I remember amma said that everyone are going to function today. I felt relief that I was escaped from everyone teasing. I opened the door and I was shocked. There my 4 anni’s ( brother’s wife) are sitting in sofa. I am dead today. I went inside causally.

Everyone looked me with teasing smile.

All started laughing loudly. I went inside my room. I texted Vikram that I reached home safely. I too informed my mom that I came home she said they are at function will be late to arrive home. I went to washroom to freshen up. I came out of washroom I saw my anni’s are in my room. Seeing me vani called me and I sat near her.
Vani anni – I know you are feeling shy. It’s common for every girl. We also crossed this stage. Just enjoy this.
I nodded.

They signed and went to prepare dinner. They made poori, potato masala and kichadi. We all enjoyed dinner and had a great time. All others came from function we chitchat sometime and all went to their home. I came to my room and laid in bed. I took my phone and looked if Vikram messaged me but to my disappointment he didn’t see my message still. I think meeting is not ended.
