Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (surface ebook reader TXT) 📕

Next day went in a blur doing all house chores. I didn't get a time to sit for a minute and didn't even realize when evening has come. Mummy gave me so much work that whole day took me to finished it.

Everyone is sitting in a lawn playing cards and caram except Siddharth and I. He is in his room doing some office work in his laptop. Who works that much in their holidays. He is in his vacations and  but it seems like he can't leave without his work. He locked himself in his room since morning. I didn't even have a single glimpse of him. Well it's not totally his fault I was also busy in my work that I also don't have a time to raise my head from work.

I took Anshul's wet shirt from the laundry bucket and spread it on the aluminum string for dry under sun. Well it's evening now but I don't get a time to do laundry before.

I picked the next shirt and it was Siddharth's. My mind automatically drifted in his thoughts.

Last night he came to my room especially asking me of my Phone number. Even at night he was looking fresh and handsome. The way he is ogling me from head to toe in my night dress, it gave a chill to my whole body. He is doing different things to me which I never felt before.

I sniffed his shirt and closed my eyes in delight when his fainted cologne hit my nostrils. Though it washed but it still have his fainted sent in it.

What are you doing to me Siddharth?

"Preeti...Preeti.." I heard mummy voice. She is calling me from downstairs.

"Yes mummy coming.." I hurriedly yet carefully spread Siddharth on aluminum string along with his others clothes and walked towards the stairs.

As I come closed to Siddharth's room, the door of the room suddenly opened and Siddharth stepped outside from the room.

I halted in my steps and looked at me. He turned his face to me and our eyes met.

I am seeing him after hours and it felt like it's been a while since we both had seen each other. Non of us said anything just keep looking each other and talked through our eyes. My heart is beating fast and I forget to take breath when he looked at me like he wanted to touch my soul.

Words are not enough to tell what I am feeling right now. I feel a different kind of attraction towards him whenever I see him. It's not physical it's a emotional feelings and his deep coffee eyes which pulls me towards him.

I didn't realize we both keep looking each other without a blink. Non of us looked away or said anything, like silence is the best way to talk to each other through our eyes.

"Preeti....Preeti.."

Our gaze broke with mummy's calling. We both looked here and there to clear our head. I felt hotness is realized from my face and it turned into red. Without saying anything I walked from there.

.......

"Preeti make evening tea for everyone with some snacks."

I and mummy standing in the hall and she is instructed me about the evening tea and snacks. I was talking to mummy and asked her what should I cooked for evening snacks when Siddharth walked inside the hall. Our eyes met again and he hold my gaze with him.

My mind blocked what mummy was saying and only focused on him but soon I broke our gaze and slowly lower my eyelids not to lost in his deep coffee brown eyes.

After getting a instruction from mummy I walked to the kitchen and pulled out a tea pan along with the coffee pan. Siddharth doesn't like tea. He likes coffee, strong one.

I took out the milk from the fridge for tea and coffee and put it on the kitchen counter. I bent down to take out the ingredients for snacks from the rack when I felt something is walking on my right leg.

I shrugged my right leg many time and rubbed it against at back of my left leg.

I took out the ingredients from the rack and put them on the counter. I took the lighter from the counter to lit the stove when feel again something is walking on my left hand. Some insect which have a slippery legs.

"Aaaaaeeee...."

As soon as my eyes fell on my left hand a scream left from my mouth.

A big maroon ugliest cockroach was sitting on my left arm and walking on my arm like he is walking in his gutter garden. I can feel his creepy slippery legs on my bare arm.

I hate cockroaches. They are the most ugliest creatures in the world and look creepy too. I am afraid of them that I can hold my pea if I have seen them in my bathroom.

"Aaaaeeeee..."

I screamed again when it fly and sit on my bare neck. I am closed to get heart attack. My heart is beating fast and adeline rushed in my blood.

I immediately shrugged it off from my neck with my hand. It fly again and this time higher and keep flying.

"Mummy...mummy.." I screamed for my mother and run towards the kitchen door.

Fear is clearly visible in my voice when it shake at the end. My eyes are fixed on the flying cockroach and I ran out from the kitchen door when I bumped into a hard chest.

I lifted my head and Siddharth was standing in front of me. He is looking at me with concern fill eyes.

"What happened..?" He asked me while cupping my face with his both palms.

"Coc..coc.." I stammered.

My heart is beating so fast and mh face is hot in fear. I immediately hugged Siddharth and hide my face in his chest while hiding my eyes behind my palm so I couldn't see anything.

Siddharth encircled his arms around me. His one hand is rubbing my back and other hand is caressing my head to calm me.

"Why are you scare. Tell me what happened?" He asked me again.

"There is cockroach in a kitchen and....and it's flying." I said while squeezing my eyes shut

I pushed myself more to Siddharth and hide my face in his chest.

I still can feel it's creepy legs on me. I am feeling like he is still sitting on my neck and hand.

"What happened to her?"

"Why is she screaming?"

"Bhabhi what happened?"
