Love that heals

Rudrani:

I woke up in the morning to find me in Ashu's arms. He hugged me safely as if proctecting me from every evil of this world. I smiled remembering his efforts and the way he is dealing with me with patience to remove my phobia. He is never angry or upset with me though I pushed him away, slapped him and hurt him everytime he tried to remove my fear. He understood me and is very patient with me.

I might have done a lot of good deeds in my last birth to get such a great husband. Though I doubted him thinking he wanted to marry my sister as I am unable to fulfill his manly desires, he understood my insecurity instead of being angry with me. Yesterday I realised his efforts are not waste and his love has power to heal me and make me forget every nightmare when I am being loved by him. I thought as he too understood that, he may take me. But, he surprised me by saying he will take things slowly and he had no plan of taking me at once without healing me completely.

He is the man about whom I thought was a pervert, cheater, play boy, jerk, mannerless, heartless, spoilt rich brat and who has no value for woman feelings. How could I think of him in that way? Ashu is such sweet person who behaves naughtily at times but very good and kind at heart. He values and respects every women. Though he is rich, he never shows his pride. Instead he loves and respects every person. He know the value of a person lies in the deeds and kindness of that person but not the money they have. He seemed very cute (not handsome because he is like a baby boy in this sleeping posture) which created an urge in me to pull his cute cheeks.

Oh my God! What happened to me? I blushed at my thoughts. I slowly tried to get out of his grip without disturbing his sleep but he moved a bit.

"What happened?" Ashu asked without opening his eyes.

"I need to fresh up," I said slowly.

"Is it already morning?" He said in frustrated tone making me giggle.

"Yes," I said.

He opened his eyes and looked at me with a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

"Good morning, my love," Ashu said and pecked my lips.

"Good morning, Ashu," I replied.

He then released me from his grip and I came out taking a shower. I saw my clothes and simple jewels arranged on the table for me. There's coffee too on the table. I looked at Ashu. "If you love to keep everything ready for me, I think I too can do that for you," Ashu said making me go blank.

"But Ashu, it's a wife duty to arrange everything for husband and you shouldn't do such things," I said feeling awkward.

"Sweet heart, I regret for not doing these things for you from the day of our marriage. Look, there's no difference between a wife and husband except the gender. We both go to college and has no time to relax much. So if we help each other, we can get things done on time and can relax a bit. If you think I shouldn't help you then I am not going to accept your help too," Ashu said.

What can I say except thanking God for creating such a great human and gifting that person to me as my husband? Is he really a human or an angel came from heaven to give me all the fortune that I have missed from my childhood?

"No, I am your monkey," Ashu said bringing me out of my thoughts. He suddenly held my waist and pulled me closer to him. I smiled enjoying his proximity this time because my body understood that he won't harm me. Ashu mumbled in my

ear.

"Tonight we will go a bit forward in our journey though not completely, be ready my dear wife. You are just making me fall for you every second with your blush and smile. Tonight you are going to do something which I ask you to do without refusal because refusal costs unbearable sweet torture whole night," Ashu said huskily.

I know he won't ask me anything that hurts me. Whatever he asks me to do, it will be only his way to help me overcome my fear. So, I am not going to refuse anything and will allow myself to be healed by my doctor cum lover hubby. "I won't refuse," I said.

"It will be a bit uncomfortable for you but you need to do it," Ashu said as if he is comforting me.

"It's okay, I trust you," I said and Ashu smiled hugging me.

"I won't trouble you but I just want you to overcome every fear in your life. So, let's see how you react and as per your reaction, I will try to make you accustomed to my touch," Ashu said to which I nodded.

He left me and went to take shower. I went to kitchen to help mom after arranging things necessary for Ashu. Dad was cooking something and I was surprised to see him in the kitchen.

"Dad, where is mom? You should have called me. Leave it to me and I will do it," I said taking veggies from dad.

"No no beta, it's fine. Your mom was watching TV. Today I just want to prepare breakfast for all of us. Usually I used to do it whenever I get sometime. But after your marriage most of the time, I was in camp and meetings and you didn't see me cooking. That's why you were surprised. Now you just go and relax. I will prepare breakfast and tell me whether I am a better cook than your mom or not," Dad said continuing his work.

"But dad..." I tried to say something but stopped listening Ashu's voice.

"Rudrani, please don't stop dad. Dad is the best at cooking. It's been a long time and I was really bored by eating foods prepared by you and mom all these days. Finally dad got time to prepare something delicious," Ashu said giving expressions as if he is so excited to eat food prepared by dad.

"We have no objection, Ashu if you both are going to cook everyday. As you are bored with our cooking, from today you prepare it by yourself," mom said seriously to Ashu.

"Mom, when did you come? Actually I was praising your cooking skills. If you have any doubt ask Rudrani," Ashu said which gave a shock to me.

"Yes, mom. Actually he is praising you...." I tried to help Ashu.

"Rudrani, this is very bad. You are lying to your mom for your husband. See, he insulted our cooking and you are still supporting him. You should support your mom," mom said. "No, she will support only her Ashu," Ashu said.

Both were looking at me. I gave weird expression and suddenly mom and son laughed together. I understood that they were pranking at me and none of them are serious. I glared at Ashu and he gave a cute pout which made me smile. We had break fast prepared by dad.

In the evening, driver dropped me at the home saying Ashu was busy with some work and will be late to home. I got fresh up and I saw it's raining outside. I went to my balcony and sat in the couch inhaling the fragrance of the soil which was wet with the drops of rain. I enjoyed the weather with a hot a coffee and playing my favourite playlist. I don't know when I drifted into sleep.

Ashutosh:

I reached home and brought a surprise for her which she loves the most. I knocked the door but no one opened it. I openes it slowly after few minutes and I didn't find my love in the room.

Where is my love? Where did she go? She called me after reaching home when driver dropped her at home. May be she went on some urgent work and forgot to inform me. I shouldn't make this an issue now. I sighed and went to balcony. There I saw my love sleeping on the couch. What happened to her? Why did she sleep in the couch in balcony leaving the room? I touched her forehead to check whether she has fever. After confirming she is fine, I lifted her in arms and placed her on the bed. She woke up at 8pm.

She looked at me and woke up at once.

"I didn't notice you returning home," She said slowly.

"How could you when you are asleep," I said casually.

"I am sorry, Ashu. I really don't know when I fell asleep. You should have woke me up."

She said as if she has done a big sin. How many times and ways should I remember her that I am not that kind of typical husband who wishes to get served by his wife as soon as he reaches home? What's wrong if she was asleep?

"Chill sweet heart. Don't be a typical wife who feels serving husband is her only duty. Sometimes caring for yourself and being carefree is also important. But tell me one thing. Are you fine? Why did you sleep at this time? Are you tired or anything wrong?"

"I am fine, Ashu. I was dozed off enjoying the weather," She replied.

"Okay, I brought something for you which you will love," I said.

I opened few covers and gave her the books which are helpful for the entrance test to get seat in university in US.

"I brought all the books useful for your preparation to get a seat in reputed university in US. If you start preparation from final year, you will have lots of time to prepare the concepts well and I will help you, if you have any difficulty," I said cupping her face.

But instead of happiness, her face turned dull.

"What happened, sweetheart? Aren't you happy for this?" I asked her.

She hugged me at once keeping dull face.

"Sweety, what's wrong? Please tell your Ashu. He is there for you to set everything. Tell me sweet heart, what made you dull, baby?" I asked pampering her and caressing her hairs.

"I will tell you the reason. But you shouldn't be angry with me," she said resting her head on my chest and clutching my shirt.

"Angry with you? No way, your Ashu can't be angry at you. Now tell me the reason without frightening me, sweet heart," I said softly.

I know Rudrani didn't get love from her childhood. She was a neglected child who was never cared by anyone. Everyone insulted, abused and took advantage of the negligence of her parents towards her. She was heart broken seeing the female discrimination around her. I strongly decided to give her all the love she missed from years. She will be my precious princess forever. I won't let my anger or insecurity hurt her.

These days Rudrani is so comfortable with me. She is sharing her issues and thoughts with me freely. She shared all her fears too and I have planned how to make her overcome every fear. I came out of my thoughts hearing Rudrani speaking. "Ashu, if I go to US, who will give your favorite strawberry sundae to you? So, I didn't want to go," Rudrani said making me smile.

I understood why she became dull all of a sudden. So my love didn't want to go to US as she will miss me. Don't worry my love, I have my plans, after all I am your monkey. But first let me tease you a bit.

"It's okay, I will find someone for that. You don't worry," I said laughing inwardly.

"Ashu, run or your tigress will kill you now," my mind advised me.

"What did you say? I hate you. I won't go anywhere. I don't allow anyone to give you strawberry sundae. It's my right and only I have that right on you," My tigress said in a warning tone.

I looked at her without blinking my eyes. She left the hug and sat seriously without looking at me.

"Don't be a love sick puppy darling. It's just a matter of two years. Just go and complete your masters," I said as if I have mo effect if she leave to US.

"I am not love sick puppy. But I won't go," she said sadly.

"I don't understand what's your problem. Are you saying this as you can't get secret letters from your so called pen friend and you will miss him," I said to make her more angry.

Sometimes I love making her very angry and then convincing her.

"Yes," she said giving me a shock.

What? Is she gonna miss that pen friend? Why did she answer like that? Does she came to know the truth that I am her pen friend?

"You are such a stupid, Ashu. I thought you are different from other men. But no, you are just like every husband who constantly feels insecure and doubts wife if she has any male friend. Explaining to you is waste of my time." Thank God, she doesn't know the truth.

I didn't speak anything and started playing with her long hairs.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Nothing, I want to make love to you before you leave to US. Who knows if you like someone there. If I make you mine, it will stop you from that," I said breathing deeply near her neck.

"Ashu, what happened to you today? Did you understand what are you talking? Do you think that I will stoop that low to fall for another man forgetting everything you did for me and our pure love?" She said with tears.

Oh God, Ashu. You are very bad. You made her cry. Shut, I think I crossed the limit and instead of teasing, I had hurt her.

"My love, I am sorry. I didn't mean it. I am really sorry," I said to her but she didn't react and tried to leave.

"My dear love sick puppy, you know what? Your husband is a love sick monkey more than you. He too can't leave you and stay without you. That's why he is going to accompany you for masters to US," I revealed the secret. She returned to me and looked me as if she is going to kill me now. She took the pillow and started hitting me.

"Rudrani, please no no," I requested her.

"Call me as your love or I will hit you more. I don't like you calling me with my name," she said.

"Okay I am sorry my love, please spare me for this one time. I just thought to tease you," I said sincerely.

"Now face the consequence for that my monkey," she said hitting me more on my head with the pillow as if a, soft pillow can hurt me.

My love doesn't even know how to hit her husband. Sweet tigress. I pretended as if it's hurting me and started screaming. She stopped and looked at me.

"Stop shouting. How can a soft pillow hurt you that much? You need a punishment monkey. You are becoming too naughty these days," my love said and I looked at her like a lost child in a market.

"You are going to do all household chores for a week," she said raising her eyebrows.

"What? No way. I didn't know anything," I said.

"Really? Okay you have two choices my dear hubby. Either you are going to do all household chores for a week or I am going to stop talking to you for a week which includes no touch, no strawberry sundae, no hugs, nothing between us," she smirked.

"You are such a sadist," I complimented her.

"One week is not enough for you. Ten days," she said.

"No, I am sorry," I said pleading her.

"You did a lot these days, monkey. You pretended as if you are gonna marry my sis, talking to many girls, teasing me, hiding everything from me, you need the punishment," she said sternly.

"One week of household chores is final, please baby, you are too good. So please forgive your monkey," I requested her.

No, ten days. If you didn't agree, I will increase the punishment," she warned.

"No ten days is more than enough," I said.

"That's good and you shouldn't say this to mom and dad but you must do every work," she said.

"Okay, I will plan something," I said.

Ashu, why did you tease her and put yourself in problem? Household chores for 10 days, how can you do that? May be I can by taking more strawberry sundaes and giving my love more sweet torture. Yes, my love, just wait and see, what will I do in these ten days. You will beg me to stop the sweet torture giving up your idea of punishing me. I am a very naughty monkey.
