her. Yes I know it's only been two hours since I last saw her but that's very much for me and yes you have all the rights to say how crazy I am for my wife.

"Kyu tumhe kuch chahiye?"
I asked looking at her pouting face and eyes roaming here and there to spot Ahana.

"Haa! Meine saari jagah dekh liya but dikhi hi nahi aur Swara di ke sath Ruhi di hai,bhabhi nazar hi nahi aayi!"

I furrowed my eyebrows thinking were she could be but replied to choti saying

"Toh phone karke puchle na?"
And to my shock,she glared at me smiling sarcastically and said

"Wow mere genius bhai kya anokha idea diya hai thanks but no thanks. Mehendi lagi hai mere hathon mein,kaise karu phone?"
That's when I noticed her hand covered in henna making my mouth form a 'o' in realisation.

"Haa haa meri maa chilla mat! I'll call her!"
I stated not avoiding her glares while she rolled her eyes and waited as I took my phone out dialling to Ahana.

"Hanji?"
Came her voice as she picked up in the second ring and I asked immediately

"Jaan, where are you?"

"I am in Swara's room. Actually her mom gave me some jewelry to keep here so was just doing that! You needed something?"
Before I could give any reply to her,choti snatched my phone from me and going a bit away started talking while it took me a moment to realize what the hell happened. However in hardly two minutes,she came back and giving my phone went away silently, confusing me. I looked at the screen to see the call still going as I held it to my ear.

"Hello Randhir?"
Ahana asked from the other side and I said

"What did choti wanted to talk about? Anything serious? She looked upset!"

"She's chumming!"
That defines her mood. I just hope she feels fine soon and enjoy these functions or else I won't be able to look at her sullen face.

"So that's why she was grumpy!"
I stated and she hummed as a reply but right after I heard her groaning sounds leaving me confused.

"Ahana, what are you doing?"

"I am trying to get this bag but ye itni upar rakha hai ki mera hath hi nhi jaa raha! Uufff! Tch!"
She replied and still groaned in defeat.

"Tum pura din bhi try karogi toh bhi nahi utar paogi! Wait I am coming there!"
I smiled as I could feel her pouting and she said

"Meri height ka mazak matt udaiye! Mein kar lungi apko aane ki zarurat nahi hai okay!"

"Acha aur kaise karogi?"
I asked with a smile already making my way to her but instead of her reply, I heard some shuffling followed by her scream which stopped my heart as I shouted in fear

"Jaan, Ahana what happened? Shit!"
Cursing,I ran cutting the call and reached Swara's room as fast as I could with raised heartbeats praying for her.

"Ahana!"

I shouted opening the door to see her sprawled down near the wardrobe holding her leg with tears lining her eyes. I heaved a sigh upon seeing her and half ran to her as she looked at me with her doe eyes and pouting lips

"Randhir...dard ho raha hai!"
She whispered pressing the ankle of her left leg while I gushed over her beautiful face. She did looked beautiful in her green lehenga and all the accessories but the only thing piercing my heart was her tears right now.
Her dress 👇

I picked her up because clearly she didn't looked in the condition to walk or even stand. Making her sit on lounge chair,I knelt in front of her taking hold of her injured leg. Thankfully there wasn't any swelling that means it's nothing serious.

"Oouuchh!"
Ahana shrieked as I took hold of her ankle and gave a worried look to her before concentrating on her leg again.

"Ahh.. Randhir! Matt kijiye please dard ho raha hai!"
I gave her a glare as she looked at me timidly with red nose and tearful eyes while not saying a word further. Without warning her,I twisted her leg left to right giving it a press and she shouted with the sudden movement.

"Aahh! Mumma. What kind of a husband you are? Mere dard ko aur badha diya!"
She hissed shouting and crying together. I shaked my head at her complain and told firmly.

"Get up and walk!"
Her eyes widened looking at me as if I asked her kidney making me laugh internally.

"Nhii! I am not moving from here! Bohot dard hoga!"
She stubbornly replied shaking her head while I glared and deadpanned saying

"Stand. Now Ahana!"
Biting her lip and looking at me accusingly,she held my shoulders to take support and very slowly stood on her legs but was surprised saying

"There's no pain!"
She even walked to believe completely and smiled wiping the traces of her tears. Looking up at me,she smiled sheepishly and was about to give me a hug when I moved back making her frown. If she thinks that she'll get away this easily by hurting herself than Mrs Randhir Malhotra is highly mistaken.

"What were you trying to get?"
I asked in a hard voice and she pouted hearing my tone but I wasn't melting by it.

"Woh upar wale bag mein Swara ke bangles hai jo usse roke mein mile the and I had to take that as her mom asked for it. Fir I saw a stool jiske upar khade hoke I tried to take it but slipped!"
She replied slowly fidgeting with her dupatta. Silently I moved to wardrobe and taking the single bag from the upper shelf placed it on the bed and without a second word, moved out of the room but I heard Ahana's words asking me to stop. I just twisted my face in anger without paying any heed to her but I saw my mom coming to me with a waiter.

"Sunai nhi deta, itna awaaz de rahi hu kabse?"
Asked Ahana huffing as she finally reached to where I came and glared at me.

"Tumne meri baat suni jab I told you to wait for me? No right and even ended up injuring yourself so why should I?"
I countered back folding my hands around my chest. Ahana scrunched her nose like a child but before she could say something,mom came close saying

"Acha hua tum dono yaha mil gye!"

We looked at her confused as she took handful of chillies from the waiter which was with her and making me and Ahana stand close,she circled her hand around our head with closed eyes and we were confused as hell. Giving the chillies to the waiter,she said

"Isse kahi durr jaake jala dena!"
Nodding he left when I finally asked

"Mom kya tha ye sab?"

"Meine nazar utari tum dono ki!"
She replied sheepishly and I smacked my head rolling my eyes and said

"Kya zaroorat thi ye sab karne ki?"

"Kya zaroorat thi mtlb? Mujhe mere bacho ki nazar utarni thi toh utar li! Maa hu tumhari, bhale hi tum batao na par tumhare beech ke difference mujhe dikh rahe the!"
At her words, I looked at Ahana who was looking down making me do the same.

"Aur jab se yaha aaye hai,bass ye hi sunn rahi hu ki 'Mrs Malhotra kitni pyaari bahu mili hai apko. Kitni sundar jodi hai Randhir aur Ahana ki'. Meri haste khelte bacho ko nazar laga gye!"
My twisted her face in anger glaring at nothing in particular as she finished while we smiled at her cute face. She came forward and cupping our cheeks asked cautiously

"But I hope tumhare beech mein sab thik hai?"
Mom enquired to which out of nowhere, Ahana looked at me sharply and looking back at mom stated

"Nhi maa! Aapko tension lene ki zarurat bilkul nahi hai. Ye jo apke bete aur mere husband hai na,he is a bit hard to handle but I don't think I'll have it any other way. Aur jaisa ki apne kaha tha,bade sharir mein chote bache hai ye toh thodi pareshani toh hogi na!"
Though her words did nothing but fluttered my heart,I masked my expression glaring at her and said

"Don't you think ki ye sab jo bhi tumne abhi kaha,it should be applicable to you?"
Mom was trying to stiffen her laughter at our bickering and Ahana glared pointing her finger at me but before she could say something anshu called her and she left, giving me a last stare.

"Ooyyee! Don't always be hard on her Randhir!"
Mom stated smacking my head and I sighed saying

"I don't do it deliberately but pagal hai woh! Apna khayal hi nahi rakhti aur ye baat mujhe hamesha gussa dilata hai! Abhi kuch time pehle she almost got her leg sprained in her stupidity! Ab aap bolo,if I won't be hard on her than she'll end doing more crazy stuff!"

"I know you care for her aur tumhari jaan basti hai usme but see to it that it doesn't creates difference between you both okay? Har jagah gussa nahi kaam aata. So now you'll not trouble her and handle her with love and care okay?"
She said in warning tone and I felt so happy that she cares for my wife or should I say her daughter more than me.

"Should I really remind you that I am your real son?"
Mom rolled her eyes at my words and going away replied sassily

"My daughters are precious to me baby and you should know that by now!"
I smiled at her reply and shaked my head going behind her. I looked for the arrangement for lunch and informed everyone to have it as it was lunch time. Roaming my eyes all around,I located my wife and a smile instantly settled on my lips as saw her settled in the decorated gazebo and was getting her mehendi done. Before I could go to her,she herself looked at my direction and called me to her with her eyes.

"Bolo?"
I whispered sitting beside her when my eyes went towards her dupatta which was fallen down from her chest in her lap. Immediately picking it up,I settled it on her shoulders again covering her and looked into her eyes but Ahana was already looking at me with a soft smile.

"Why did you called jaan? You want something?"
I asked again as I remembered her calling but she shaked her head replying

"Dupatta thik karne ke liye hi bula rahi thi! Thank you!"

"You don't have to!"

I whispered kissing her temple when she again murmured scooting close to me

"Are you still angry?"

"No I am not and I never was. But please take care of yourself. Jo tumhara dil hai na,woh bhale hi tumhara hai par dhadakta mere liye hai toh uska khayal rakha karo!"
I stated wrapping my hand around her waist from behind and drawing patterns with my fingers on her soft skin while Ahana blushed looking down as the henna artist heard our talk coz she giggled lightly but I could care less about that.

"Aapke hote hue mein kyu apna khayal rakhu? It is your job to do not mine!"
Ahana countered back slowly in my ears. My breath hitched as her lips touched my ear shell waking up my desires but I controlled and with a smile started saying

"Acha aur jab mein nahi rahu...."
Ahana shot me a glare silently warning me to stop and I did not wanting to face her wrath and soon her glare turned soft and looking here and there,she came close and kissed my cheek making my heart do summersault. This was us. Fighting one minute and dying for each other in the next. With my Ahana, I wouldn't have it any other way.
