"Open the door beta"

I opened my eyes with much difficulty and used my all brainpower to understand what was going on. I looked down and everything came running to my mind.

I and he lay naked on my bed and Mumma is banging the door for me to open it.

Oh No! What if she saw us in this condition. What would she think of me, of him?

I have to wake him up.

"Atharva, wake up," I said in a low tone.

I moved him to free myself from his clasp.

"Wake up, Atharva"

He again dragged me in his grip.

Oh! This beast will not wake up like this. I moved my leg up and dabbed my knee in his stomach. He groaned and before he could say anything I stood and started to dress.

"Shreya" Mumma called me again.

"Coming Mumma, wait a minute"

I threw his clothes on his face.

"Wear them and go out right now," I said

"Why?"

"Mumma is standing outside, waiting for me to open the door"

"Then go and open"

"Just look at yourself. According to her you are at your home not here lying naked on my bed"

"Is everything fine beta?" She asked again.

"I am opening the door, please wear this and get out"

"No, I will not go like this," he said adamantly.

"What the fuck do you want?" I said all irritated.

"The same you said just now," he said and chuckled.

Urghhh...he is getting on my nerve and on the other hand, Mumma is continuously banging the door.

"I am going to open the door you just get out this instant," I said and moved towards the door.

I opened it a little just to show my face, not allowing her to enter the room.

"What happened, mum. Do you want anything?" I asked

"Why did you took so much time to open the gate?" She asked

I felt a hand on my back and stood straight. What is he doing now? I will literally kill him for this.

"Umm...mm...wash..washroom. I was in the washroom" I smiled to hide my lie.

"Washroom" she repeated and I nodded.

He started to draw circles with his fingers lightly on my waist. Oh, God! He is hitting me on my nerves. I bite my lips to control my giggles.

"Why are you bitting your lips?" Mumma asked me.

"No...nothing. Why were you here Mumma?" I asked

He pinched my waist. He is taking a very wrong advantage of my condition.

"I was here to give you this milk," she said while showing me the glass of milk which I didn't notice because of nervousness.

"Ok, give this to me. I will drink"

I moved my hand ahead to take it but she took a step back.

"Why are you not allowing me in? Are you hiding something from me?" She asked

"Hiding? No! NO! Absolutely not" I said

"Then move aside"

I moved aside with closed eyes praying that she did not find him in the condition in which he was born. Please NO!!

"Why are you standing like a statue now?" Mumma asked

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. He was nowhere to find. I took a deep breath. Huh, what a relief.

Mumma put the glass on the table and suddenly we heard the sound of shuffling that was coming from under the bed.

Oh No! He is under the bed.

"What is this sound?" Mumma asked and I gave her a confused look.

"Let me see," she said and bend down to see under the bed.

Oh NO!!!!!!!

"Aaaaaahhhhhhh" I screamed to divert my mumma's mind.

"What? What happened? Are you fine beta?" She asked

"I got a sprain in my leg," I said

"But you are not even moving"

"I don't know," I said

"You never fails to give me a mini heart attack," she said and again moved towards the bed.

"Mumma you go na! I will handle it" I said

"No, let me see"

What should I do now?

Idea!!

I wobbled the table beside me.

Mumma immediately stood up.

"What now?" She asked

"Cat. Mumma, it was a cat! It just ran away. It was hiding under the bed. I guess"

"But I didn't see it," she said

"It was too fast for your eyes to catch and your attention was on this side of the bed and it ran from the other side"

"What are you saying? And how did it came in?" She asked

I gave her a sign of I don't know.

"This is all your mistake. Look at this balcony door. You always forget to lock it. I have told you many times to keep it close. Why don't you listen to me"

She moved towards the balcony.

"Mumma you go na. I will be down in a few minutes"

"Why are you so desperate to throw me out of the room?" She asked

"Umm...actually I urgently want to use the washroom"

"But you said that you were using the washroom that's why you were not able to open the door"

Oh! I got caught in my own words.

I heard the sound of a chuckle. This is him. How badly I want to kick him in his balls right now.

"Wo actually, "

"Actually what?"

"Mumma I ate dishes made by you after so many months. They were so tasty that I went on eating them. And this has affected my digestive system. You know!"

"Oh!"

"Yes!"

"Ok! Do your business and come down. I am waiting for breakfast"

"Ok, Mumma!" Finally, she left the room.

I bend down to look at him. He was lying on his stomach struggling under the bed. He was only in his undergarment with his shirt and jeans in his hand.

"You can come out now!"

He came out.

"Can't you stay still for some time. How much noise you were making?" I said

"Do you even know how much difficult it was for me to adjust under this small bed and then you have stuffed so many things under this bed"

"Stop complaining it is completely your mistake," I said

"Oh really? That was only me who was enjoying the night?"

"Umm...Don't waste my time. Just wear your clothes and leave my room. Right Now!" I said

"No, not like this," he said

"What do you mean by not like this?"

"You already know it what do I mean," he said stepping closer to me.

"Don't act like a live sick teenager boy please"

I pushed him but he didn't even shift. So I kissed him on his lips. I just wanted him out of this house.

He made his grip tight on my waist.

"What else do you want now?" I asked all irritated.

"A baby" he replied.

"Phle khud to bade ho jao (First grow up yourself)" I said

I pushed him and he falls on the bed.

"Why didn't you told Mumma that this cat was here to hunt his mouse" he chuckled.

"You are saying this because you don't know my mother. Now just wear this and go like right now!" I said

"Ok, ok"

He wore his dress and moved towards the balcony. I followed him to make sure that he lands carefully.

"Shreya, why are you still standing here?" Mumma asked me.

Oh No! How can I be so stupid. I didn't even close the door. She was standing there with a broom in her hand. May I came here to clean the room.

"I was just going," I said

"Billa bhaga diya ? (Did you shooed away the cat?)" She asked

"Um...yeah, I was shooing it away"

"Let me see the cat and teach it a lesson. It will never try to enter my baby's room again" she said moving towards me

"No Mumma. It is gone"

Actually, he was hiding behind the door. He was not able to jump before Mumma came.

"I said something, leave my way"

I slowly stepped aside. She went there. I closed my eyes tightly.

"Hmm...so he is your cat"

She came out while pulling his ear down. He was bent towards Mumma. It was clearly written on his face that it was hurting.

"Mumma leave his ear you are hurting him," I said

"I am hurting him. Why are you getting restless?" She said

"Ahh..mummyji please leave my ear. It is hurting so much" he said and she left his ear.

"Why did you entered the house like a thief?" She asked the same question to him.

"And you, why did you lie to me?" She asked me.

My mother just hates lies. She can't tolerate it. I still remember the amount of beating I get whenever I lied to her or tried to hide anything from her.

We both were just looking down and she was scolding us like we are 5 years old kids who have misbehaved.

"I want both of you down within half an hour," she said

"Did you get that"

We both nodded our head in yes.

"And don't you even think that this action of yours will go unpunished," she said and left the room.

He grabbed my waist making me face him. He put his forehead on mine.

"Now she knows everything. Can I get a kiss now?" He asked

"No! Be thankful that she didn't beat you with the broom. Now just move and let me take a bath"

"Can I join you?" He asked

"Can I kick you?" I asked

He chuckled and was not ready to leave me.

"You know she has given us only half hour"

"That's why I am saying this will save our time"

"Leave Atharva, I am not in a mood"

"Why are you so irritated? Are your periods near?" He asked

"No, leave me or I will surely kick you," I said in anger.

He chuckled and left me. We got ready in a half-an-hour and stepped down. Papa was already seated and Mumma was in the kitchen. I went to the kitchen to help her but she asked me to sit on one of the chairs. I sat beside Atharva but at a 90° angle so that he cannot pull the last time's action again.

Mumma gave me the bowl full of salads and served delicious food to others.

"What is this Mumma?" I asked

"This is your punishment" she replied

"Punishment?"

"Yes, you said na that your digestive system is not working properly so you will eat this at breakfast and I will cook khichdi for you in the lunch"

"No Mumma please no. This is pure torture" I said whining

He was grinning ear to ear and enjoying my condition. This is all just because of him.

"Do as I say. No arguments!" She scolded me and I sat silently.

"And you," he said looking at him

"Don't think that you are saved"

His smile vanished in a second.

"You entered the house like a thief so you deserve the punishment for the same. You are going to live with us in this house for the next 3 days. You are not allowed to step outside" she said

"No mummyji, I have to go to work. It would be a great loss"

"Nope! You should have thought this before entering the house without our knowledge" she said

"Papaji say something na. I cannot take leave for so many days" he said to papa

He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Mumma.

"He cannot do anything. In this house, this is me who makes the rule!"

"And I follow those rules," papa said

He looked my side and I nodded shattering his last ray of hope.

"But what about the clothes?" He snapped

"You can wear mine. Although they would be loose but it is ok, we are not going to judge you" Papa chuckled giving him the offer.

"You can wear mine too if you want" I whispered in his ears to which he gave me a look.

"Ok," he said to Papa.

I was glad that he accepted mumma's decision without throwing unnecessary drama.

Everyone started to eat their food. I was still staring at my food. Thinking from where to start. He looked at me but not with pity eyes.

"Wow, Mumma you cook the world's best food," he said while teasing me and making so much noise showing that the food is really delicious.

"Learn something from Mumma, she cooks so well and you..." He said to me.

"Me....what me?" I asked in a dangerous tone.

If he said anything against my cooking skills I will fry him raw in the oil. I was already pissed off because of the grass that Mumma has put in front of me to eat.

"No...nothing. You too cook delicious food but after Mumma" he said to save his life.

"Hahaha....you are on your way of becoming a perfect husband. Never say anything about your wife's food if you want to live otherwise the next dish that she will cook would be you" papa said and he chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Mumma asked in anger.

"No...nothing food is getting cold" papa replied.

I was somehow managing to eat that grass and when I looked up he was looking at me with a smile like he is again up to something.

'What' I asked with one of my eyebrows up but he was just smiling like an idiot. I was not getting even one percent of what he wanted to convey.

I looked down at the grass that was decorated in my breakfast bowl.

"Your aim is wrong. This is my leg beta," Papa said

My eyes became wide and I now understand why he was smiling. I and Mumma looked down at the same time and I found his feet over papa's leg.

Damn! This is hell embarrassing.

I looked up at him. He instantly removed his leg and looked down. His ears have turned crimson red now. I was just anyhow controlling my laugh.

The first person who burst into laughter was my Mumma, Papa soon followed her, and then I too was not able to restrain myself.
