Ram

I opened my eyes feeling someone's lips touching my cheeks. I smiled looking at her shocked expression.

Anu: Were you not sleeping? (She asked hitting me on my chest.)

Ram: I woke up when you were assaulting your own husband with those pretty lips of yours. (I said teasingly.)

Anu: I was not. ( she pouted while playing with my fingers.)

Ram: Then why were you kissing me when I was asleep? You should love me when I'm awake then only I can notice your efforts in our relationship. (I said and nuzzled my nose in her neck.)

He smiled, I felt it due to his lips touching my neck, thought Anu.

Anu : To batayiye aapne us Nisha ko sparsh karne kyon diya aapko? (She asked suddenly but my focus was on something else that I didn't hear her words.)

(Then tell me why did you let that Nisha touch yourself?)

I leaned closer and bit her right cheek to which she whined and pushed me away.

Anu : Ham kuch puch rahe the aapse Aarya! (She said stubbornly turning her face away and clutching the sheets to her chest.)

(I was asking you something, Aarya!)

Ram: What are you hiding my dear? Your husband had already seen everything. (He said looking at her by resting his head on his palm sending a naughty smile towards her.)

She blushed at my words and was about to move away from the bed. I quickly held her hand and pulled her towards myself.

Anu : Ye aap kya kar rahe hain? Bahut der ho chuk- mhmhh. (She couldn't complete her sentence as I shushed her by keeping my palm on her lips and chuckled looking at her shocking expression as if she was expecting something else.)

( What are you doing? It has been so late- mhmhh.)

My laughter came to an end when she kissed me pushing me on the bed. Okay, now I was speechless. We are truly late today.

After an hour-

I came outside dressing like usual in royal attire only to see my beautiful wife drying her hair. God damn it, and she's looking quite sexy. Is it just me or every husband who finds their wife beautiful when they dry their hair? I gulped and went towards her.

I should not go near her, that's it and I will not be late.

I quickly went outside avoiding her completely and made my way towards the dining room only to see all talking about something and laughing.

Why do these ladies always have something to gossip about? I thought and sat beside Matha Draupadi.

Karn: Why are you late for breakfast, son? Are you not well? ( He asked while keeping his hand on my forehead.)

Ram: No! I am perfectly fine. Vo raath der se soyi thi na isliye baba. ( I said gritting my teeth remembering the scene from last night and that shameless Nisha's crazy conspiracies.)

( No! I am perfectly fine. That, It's because I slept late last night probably that's why baba.)

I looked at Dad only to realize what I said and what they were perceiving my words like.

Ram: It's not like what you are thinking Dad- (I couldn't complete my words as he showed his palm making me stop blabbering.)

Karn: You don't have to tell me the reasons for everything bacha. Ignore it. (He said giving me a teasing smile.)

Draupadi : Vaise, Anu tho theek haina? Unhe chalne mein koyi aapathi tho nahi thi na! (She asked teasingly and giggled with the remaining ladies.)

( By the way, Is Anu alright? She's not having any trouble walking, right!)

These ladies are playing with my prestige. I think this is what they call secondhand embarrassment. I licked my lips and looked down, I swear to god my cheeks were on fire.

Kunthi: Hey! Stop teasing my grandson. Come my boy, I will feed you food. (she said and pulled my hand.)

I smiled and sat beside her and she started feeding me. I was talking with Abhi while eating when suddenly my eyes fell on the entrance. I think some Apsara had entered the room by mistake. Ewww! When did I even become this cringe?

I came out of my stupor when Granny smacked my head. I pouted and again started eating not before sighting my extremely beautiful wife.

Abhi: Vaise Bhai! Hame tho bahut bore lag rahi hain. Kisi trip mein jayein hum. Please!! (He asked looking at me suddenly.)

(By the way, bhai I am feeling so much bored. Shall we go on a trip please!)

Lucky: Haan, Bhaii!! Chalte haina. Ham kabhi apne poore family ke saath nahi gaye the naa... (She said along with him.)

(Yes, Bhai!! Let's go na. We never went along with all our family na...)

I stayed mum and looked at dad silently not wanting to disappoint them. These two would never agree on something and when they did, they truly wanted that.

He gave me a smile indicating there was no problem. Abhi jumped along with the remaining ones. I just smiled and messed up Gauri's hair who was beside me by the way.

Gauri: Bhai!! ( she whined.)

I said nothing and hugged her from the side.

Lucky: Bhai! You forgot me. ( she said and jumped on me making me laugh loudly.)

Soon every one of the six joined the hug. Exactly at these times, I would miss Divya. I hope she's fine.

The elders smiled looking at our antics. From the corner of my eye, I saw Anu was smiling and looking at us as well. I opened my one arm indicating her to join in. She hesitated but joined finally when Abhi pulled her by the hand.

So what's gonna happen now?

Is Nisha just gonna ignore this and move on?

What is Mama Shakuni planning for the kurus?
