7.

Right now Ishika was in her room packing. Abhimanyu and Ishika would be leaving for Chandigarh tomorrow morning. They will be leaving by flight and Ishika never even saw the airport how in the world she was gonna go by flight. It would be a new experience for her but also she was nervous. What if he thinks that his wife is good for nothing and even scared of flights?

Ishika shook her head and continued packing her luggage. Abhimanyu said he would pack his own. After packing, Ishika zip her bag and walks to her room from the closet and sits on Huffing's bed Huffing. Ishika didn't check her phone for the whole day as she was busy watching a movie with Ananya then getting to know about her husband from radhika.

There were a few messages she clicked on and her hands started shivering. The phone in her hand fell. Her legs felt jelly, they gave up on her and she fell down on her knees.

Unknown: seems like you are happy married to him huh?

Unknown: do you think you'll be safe there?

Unknown: I get what I want and bunny you'll be mine.

Unknown: you'll be in my paradise soon just see.

Unknown: you shouldn't have smiled for another man.. that smile of yours is only for me.

Unknown: did you forget what happened to that person to whom you smiled huh.

It had been a while since those threats had stopped coming to her but today she again received these messages. Shiver rang through a spine reading those messages. Ishika has been receiving these messages since she was in first year of college.

That person never hurt her but just sent these messages. At first she thought it's a prank but that incident happened which shook her to the core. She couldn't even tell anyone about those messages cause she never trusted anyone. They bullied her for being chubby, they called her ugly. They didn't even let her dance, dancing was her only happiness they snatched that happiness from her. She was all alone facing this everything.

For the last few months these messages didn't arrive but now she is scared again. 'Why god? I was just about to get happy. Why do I have to live in constant fear now?' Tears welled up in her eyes and before she could even think they started flowing off her eyes.

Ishika kept on wiping her tears but they kept on flowing. ' i can't cry.. i can't let anyone see me like this.. they'll blame no.. it would be my fault i can't.. life long I'll have to deal with this' ishika rushed to the washbasin and splash the cold water on her face. She splashed the water until her tears disappeared in the water.

She was breathing heavily and looked at her reflection in the mirror. Messy hair, red eyes, heavy breaths this was all visible to her. She was scared. How did she even think that she would live happily? She heard the sound of the door opening. She quickly wiped her face with a napkin , took a few breaths and walked back into the room.

Abhimanyu was sitting on bed ready to sleep. He heard the sound of anklets and looked at his wife. "done packing?" Ishika just nodded and sat on her side of the bed. "Lets sleep, we have to leave early tomorrow hm?" Ishika was hesitant but after gathering lots of courage she finally spoke.

"Can you.. can you hug me?" Abhimanyu could sense something was wrong but he also knew she wouldn't tell him anything. So he simply laid down and signaled Ishika to lay on his arm. Ishika lays down on his arms , abhimanyu wrapped his other hand around her and pulled her close.

"Something happened?" He asked in a soft voice. Ishika shook her head "nothing i was just missing mom" abhimanyu was caressing her hair with other hand. He didn't say anything and was just silently comforting her. "What do you like Mrs Singh?"

" I love to eat sweets, any sweet but the most i like jalebi" abhimanyu hums in response. "Should I bring some for you?" Ishika looked up at abhimanyu "can we go together? I mean to my favorite place.." abhimanyu felt happy it was the first time Ishika was requesting something from him. Though she didn't need to, she just had to ask. But still he was happy that Ishika was opening up to him.

"Lets go" Ishika smiled and got up excited. Abhimanyu too got up and held her hand. They both went downstairs. "Is it far from here?" Ishika nods. "Yes, it's near my college.. it's little far we can go somewhere else"

"No need we have a car we can reach there anytime.. lets go" they both walked out of the main door. "Wait here I'll bring the car okay?" Ishika nodded and Abhimanyu left to get a car.

Soon Ishika heard the sound of a horn. She looked in the direction and there was her husband sitting on a royal Enfield. He looked damn hot sitting on the bike. Ishika always wanted to go on a drive with her lover on a bike but it was impossible for her.

Abhimanyu drove to her and signaled her to get on. Ishika sat on bike and held his shoulder. "Hold tightly or you'll fall" Ishika nodded and Abhimanyu gave a little raise to the accelerator and drove forward. Ishika closed her eyes feeling a cold breeze kissing her face.

Abhimanyu smiled seeing a genuine smile on Ishika's face. He drove towards the place where Ishika mentioned they sell the best jalebi. "Stop stop stop" abhimanyu applies break. "Here it is" there was a small stall like shop. The shopkeeper was frying hot hot jalebi.

"bhaiya ek plate jalebi dijiye ga" Abhimanyu asked the shopkeeper. shopkeeper nodded and picked a few Jalebi in a plate and handed them to abhimanyu. "Here sir"

(sir please give one plate jalebi)

Abhimanyu took the plate and went to Ishika who was sitting on a bike. "Here mrs singh your jalebi" Ishika took a jalebi and took a bite. She closes her eyes as the jalebi melts in her mouth. "Mhm too good" she took another bite and "this is the best" she finished the jalebi and took another jalebi .

"Aap bhi lijiye" (you also have it) abhimanyu shook his head "i don't like sweets" . Ishika looked at him as if seeing an alien. "How come no one likes sweets?" Ishika spoke, taking another bite of jalebi. "Dear wifey, you eat as much as you want," he said, wiping the syrup on the corner of her lips with his thumb.

Ishika's cheeks turned red by this sudden touch. She gulped down the jalebi. Soon she finished all the jalebis on the plate. "Want more?" Ishika shook her head and licked her lips. "Ab age kya hukum farmayi ye" (what next please order) ishika now totally forgot about those text messages and was fully focused on her husband who was fulfilling her demands.

"Now I wanna have kulfi, it's here only" abhimanyu shook his head and held her hand helping her get down the bike. "Do you always eat here?" Abhimanyu asked while Ishika led him to the matka kulfi vala. "Yes after college, or whenever i feel down i come here sneaking out from house"

"Sneaking out? Why?" Abhimanyu asked, confused. "My aunty wouldn't allow me to leave the house after 7 so I used to sneak out just to eat" Abhimanyu stopped walking and made Ishika face him. "Did they mistreat you ever? See ishika if you won't share how will i know? As your husband, I should know, right?"

"I know but I need some time to share everything with you.." Abhimanyu nods understanding. He knew it would hurt her to open up and go through that all. "No worries take your time"

" So where's the kulfi vala?" Abhimanyu asked, looking around. "There" Ishika spoke, pointing at the matka kulfi vala. They both walked to him. "Only one, okay I don't want you to get cold" Ishika pouts after hearing him. Obviously she wanted to eat more but there was no way she would argue with her husband on 3 rd day of their wedding.

Abhimanyu took a kulfi from kulfi vala and handed it to ishika. Ishika took the kulfi and started eating it. "such a messy eater are you Mrs singh" he took a tissue and wiped her nose. Ishika didn't mind it at all, after all she loved the kulfi. After eating kulfi both of them took a walk near the market.

"Mrs singh don't you think we should head back home? Tomorrow we have a flight to catch" Ishika realized that they were out for so long and it was getting late. Knowing her history of waking up late she spoke. "We should go home and sleep i don't trust myself when waking up in the morning"

Abhimanyu drove back home. They went into their room and both fell asleep with Ishika's head on Abhimanyu's chest and Abhimanyu caressing her hair till she fell asleep.
