I am waiting for him to come back home since 9:00pm with baby sleeping in my arms... He hasn't still come. It's almost midnight now.

He should have not have left home in the first place. There is quarantine and other shit going on around the city but he left after getting ready, without even saying word to me . I guess he has got an important meeting...

Remember yesterday night also he got ready and went in his study...

I yawned and got up from the couch with baby in my arms, snoring softly..

I heard the opening of the main door and looked at him. He came inside swinging... Wait... Did he drink?

He came and sat on the sofa and started pressing his head. I went up the stairs immediately and put the baby on bed with pillows around him.

I came down to see him in the same position . His health wasn't good and yesterday he was burning with fever , how did he even think of drinking? Forget about that, he was not allowed to drink as he has gastric problems but still he did...

He groaned and I came back from my world. I bent on my knees and removed his shoes and socks. He reeks of alcohol!. Cha. I wouldn't have done this if he wasn't helpless...

I helped him till his room as he was partially conscious, it wasn't much of a problem. I made him sit in the bathing tub and he groaned holding his head... He looks very scary like this...

I gulped and then filled the tub with Luke warm water... He is already not well so forget about cold water.

Wait.

What now?

He dosen't seem to be in a condition to bath by himself... Should I help him? But wouldn't that be taking advantage and invading personal space?

No! To be frank he is taking advantage of you! Just leave him here...

I groaned in frustration and started removing his shirt and then his belt and last but not the least, his pants which I surely didn't want to. I made sure that my eyes only stay on his torso and no where else.

I took a foam liquid and started rubbing it on him... His body was...not soft..

I know it's a bad description but that's what came in my mind first.

Woow.. He has a 6 pack or maybe more ! I wanna have abs too!! That would be totally cool! Then I would punch the shit out of him, the same way he does...

I washed up his full gaint body except his privates which is a no-no for me.

I drained the tub and cleaned up the water on his body. I took a robe and made him wear it. I took him back till his room and made him lie down.

He growled holding his head which was enough for me to jump a feat away... OK... I accept now that everything about him is scary. There was a drop of tear at the corner of his eye and I felt bad for him. Maybe only a teeeeeeny tinyyyyyyy bit...

I went down to the kitchen and prepared a veg soup for him. I went up and sat beside his sleeping body on the bed. I kept the bowl aside and made him lean on the bed. I started feeding him slowly and after a long time of patiently feeding him, the bowl got empty.

I made him take a paracetamol tablet.

I went to my room and bought coconut oil. I kept the bottle in hot water in his washroom for 2 mins and then I went towards his bed.

He was rubbing his forehead and I sat behind him after pushing him a little.

I started massaging oil in his hair after removing his infamous pony.

He moved his head more back towards me and laid his head in my lap. I massaged for god knows how many minutes and he already slept.

I went back to my room, changed clothes and slept beside my jamun slowly making sure that he won't wake up. He turned towards me and kept his little hand on my chest which gave a lorry full of warmthness to my body.

The morning sunshine was hot enough to make me sweat and wake up with irritation. I heard small sounds beside me and I looked at my baby who is having a troubled face due to light falling on him.. I hugged him blocking the light falling on him.

I kept pillows around him and then took bath. I wore a simple cotton saree and then my mangalsutra. I went to the kitchen and prepared light breakfast for us.

I went up , made baby to take bath and then dressed him up in a comfy clothes. I went down with him and then set the breakfast on dining table.

I looked up the stairs expecting him to come down, I don't really wanna call him.... As on a cue he came down and passed by me. I set the plate in front of him and he had it silently. I sat on the chair opposite to him and made my baby drink milk in my arms...

I looked up to see that he already left and I ate my breakfast.

I cleaned up eveything and sat in the hall putting baby beside me... Highly exhausted....

" u didnt have any problem of me coming drunk at night " arjun suddenly asked looking at me...

" you must have had it along with your business associates

Other wise you wouldn't have risked your health " I said removing finger from babie's mouth and he pouted at me...

" lakshmi

U don't have to prepare dinner tonight, it's going to be a small gathering here and we'll call up the caterers. " he said looking emotionless, staring at my face...

" ah

Okay

How many are going to come? " I asked , it's not good at this critical time to have a public or any sort of gathering....

" around 100 " he said looking at news paper...

" seriously!

That's huge!

U know that there is a pandemic

Leave about us

we have to think of baby . " I said shocked...

" it's totally going to be fine

They are rich enough to stay safe like us, so don't worry.

It's important for my business " he said in intimidating and serious voice.

Okay

Maybe this is really important...

But I have to take enough precautions.

" no need of caterers

We have maids in their quarters...

They will work along with the chef and take care of the service too " I said practically begging him with my eyes to say 'yes' because I don't want anymore people than those 100 which is already more...

" okay " he said and I sighed in relaxation.

I did all the job of informing the maids and organizing them in their alloted sections and as well discussed with chef... I asked the Butler to make sure that all the hall is empty of unnecessary furniture... This hall room can easily accommodate 700+ .

I prepared lunch for us and he was busy on his phone all the while and I was busy with all the work for the evening. After lunch I made baby sleep....

" you must have had it along with your business associates

Other wise you wouldn't have risked your health " she said taking out finger from babie's mouth and I sat still...

I gulped and then informed her about the upcoming gathering at the house tonight and she took up the responsibility. Why is she talking positively about me? Did she think that I'm giving her a chance to be close to me? Did she really think that I would allow her?

I informed Butler as I can't leave everything on that little girl and I don't want it to be messed up. It's really an important meeting.

I saw her the whole time how busy she was... Why is she doing this? Did she really think that I would give her a chance or the relation between us to be normal? I scoffed and left to my study... These thoughts didn't leave my mind all the time...

After finalizing a few deals , I looked up at the wall clock to see it was already 5:30pm. I went back to my room and on the way, I saw her instructing the maids.

I relaxed my muscles under the warm water and remembered how she bathed me... I can still feel her soft hands all over my body... I was conscious but unresponsive.. I remember every single thing that she has done to me. I have to accept that her massage was the most soothing thing... I wouldn't require a tablet if she could do that to me...better if she could do that every night because I had a very peaceful sleep as if had taken sedatives....

Why do I always sleep well when I'm in touch with her?

She's your sedative

I dressed up and looked at the time to be 6:15 pm, I reached down the stairs and everything was precisely set up...

The way it should be. Her organising skills are good. I looked at the maids who are dressed up in their uniforms and were having gloves on their hands... I smiled inwardly...

This girl is really scared of bad things and diseases...

I went down the stairs and started talking to the clients and other business associates who are already present... Kaira came as well with her father and then rahul and Vihaan arrived.

" hello Mr. Singhania

It's nice to have you here today " I said briefly giving a hand shake to Kaira's father.

" it's a pleasent welcome Mr. Rajput " he said and I gave a brief proffesional smile nodding at him.

Kaira held on to my arm and we met a few associates...

I have observed most of the heads turning toward the stairs and I looked following their direction... I almost couldn't believe myself at what I was looking... My little wife was coming down the stairs gracefully along with that baby in her arms... She looked no less than a goddess with enthralling beauty and modesty dripping at every step she took...

She smiled coming down towards everyone... A serene smile...

Suddenly I felt that this ain't my home and I have come here to see this lady infront of me...

I went to her stood behind her as many of them already know that I have been married...

" why did you wear this? " I asked her in a low voice... It's not like I didn't like the way she dressed up but this is a business gathering not an indian function.

" I'm already married, so this is what I should wear...

It's okay

If you have any problem

You can stay with Kaira " she said and I looked at her dead panned... Is she for real? She just pushed me off? The great Arjun Singh Rajput ! People are dying to be seen beside me but my wife just tossed ME off aside as if I'm nothing!

" Mr. Arjun

This is.... " asked Mr. Kotaria, one of my client , holding a vine glass in his hand.

" this is my wife

Mrs. Lakshmi Arjun Singh Rajput " I said to him introducing her by holding her waist...

Now Now

We don't want others to know the reality right?

" oh

It's nice to meet you Mrs. Arjun

I'm rajat Kotaria " he said to her raising his hand for a handshake but she just did a namasthe , giving him a smile.

" I have to accept that you have got a modest wife " Mr. Kotaria said smiling towards me and I nodded my head.

" hello arjun !

It's been long

And yah congragulations that you got married... Wait is she your wife? She looks very pretty... Hi I'm Sonia Kotaria , daughter of this old man beside me. By the way

I thought that you would marry Kaira" Sonia exclaimed... She is one woman who can't be played. She likes to intrude her nose into everyones life. she is a lady killer in business with her sharp tongue.

" but here I am " lakshmi answered in few words with a stern face which made her shut her mouth. Maybe I should get this atom bomb with me to every other party in future. Her answers are formal and sassy...

I smirked looking at Sonia and she seemed to be taken back... This little tigress beside me is an unclaimed one darling... She wouldn't take shits of people...

Even yours....

" when did you have a baby? " Mr. Kotaria asked glancing at the boy in her arms... I should have asked her to not to get him...

" he is an orphan " I said and I could feel lakshmi's gaze on me..

" oh orphan " Mr. Kotaria said.

" but not anymore

He is our son and we both love him " lakshmi answered and I was taken back at how well she just included me in this matter...

Then we met a few other business men and my clients. She excused her self and left from there. I would have said her to leave if she was there for more time beside me because I need to discuss about the deals...

As soon as she left , Kaira came and stood beside me holding my arm...

Is she mentally retarded?

I have introduced my wife to almost everyone and she is clinging to me now..

" kaira, I have to talk with the business associates so please excuse us for a minute " I whispered near her ear and she smiled and left...

Damn she is felt humiliated... I will see after her later..

" your wife is considerate much " One of the clients said suddenly in the middle of important conversation..

" pardon " I said looking at his face.

" she arranged for hydroxy chloroquine tablets for everyone in the entrance of the mansion. " he said.

" yes yes

I'm quite impressed by Mrs. Arjun.

The Butler said that it was for avoiding nasal and oral infection of the virus from the asymptomatic people in the gathering " the other reputed business man said, appreciating her.

" yes of course " I said with a brief smile. Atleast her weird attempts had gained me a good public interests among the associates...

It was almost 10:30pm by the time everyone left. I have pocketed almost 18 dealers and their replacments too along with n number of clients.

Not bad.

I was tired and went back to my room. Wait, where did that girl go?

Shit! I haven't seen after she went away from me in the party...

I looked down from the stairs into the hall room to see her no where...

Then I ran to her room immediately and opened the door.. She was there on the bed playing with baby...

She is exhausted , it can be seen on her face but she is managing to entertain the baby... Why does she have to look after that baby. If she would have asked, I would have sent him to a better orphanage or I would have given him a house with a maid to look after him...

I went back to my room and took a refreshing shower. I went down the hall to see the light in kitchen. She is cooking something near the stove and holding baby on her hip. She is unable to carry him as the baby kept on sliding on her waist and she kept on moving him up with her one hand and cooking on the other hand.

I went and stood behind her and took the baby in my arms , holding him in my right hand. She turned and gave me a small smile and then went back to cooking. I looked down at the baby in arms and his eyes were like glistening grey marbles.

Her moving out of the kitchen got me me out of my trance. I followed behind her and she sat on the sofa. I sat beside her and then she took the baby from my arms and started feeding him. She started eating curd rice with other hand.

" you want to have some dardhojanam? " she asked and I nodded a yes. I don't know why I did that...

She gave the bowl to me and I had a spoon full of curd rice... I felt instant cooling effect in my stomach and I had a couple of more spoons before giving it back to her. She had 2 spoons and then passed it to me. She burped and smiled awkwardly.. Cute..

I had the whole bowl and my stomach felt good... Maybe I should have it everyday...

" good night " she said softly taking the empty bowl from my hand and went inside the kitchen. I went back to my room...

I laid on my bed and the whole day played in front of me..

She took care of me and then she took care of the event too but she didn't expect anything in return from me?

Why? Everyone does expect some of the other thing even for the smallest things they do.... But she didn't....

does she have any other plans? Or this is just an acting?

' Common she is just 19 '

But don't forget that she has lots of brains as she unveiled my plan before.

What is she planning now ?
