Wifey, you're too cruel

"Sis-in-law", Sonali, Dhruv's cousin, led her into a master bedroom, decorated with all kinds of flowers, "Bro will be just flat tonight."

Sonali was the daughter of her namesake aunt-in-law. She was a bubbly girl & always cracked jokes, "You look like a rose, Siso! Bro is gonna die for sure."

Janhvi smirked. She was changed into a pink saree, which revealed her curves perfectly. Her hair hung loosely, while a few strands were twisted above her ears. She said, "Of course! He will! After all, the rose has thorns too."

Sonali laughed, "Siso, you are such a tease."

"Of course, I am", Janhvi smirked her evil way. Little did this girl know, Janhvi wasn't lying at all.

Sonali made her sit on the king-sized bed which had a light pink bedsheet & rose petals were spread on it.

"You should sit here like a good wife & wait for Bro. I'll be sending him in", Saying so, Sonali fled from the room, closing the door behind her.

Janhvi looked around the room & found a family photo hanging on the wall. Her eyes were glued toP.K. Mittal's face. She tilted her head & an evil glint shone flashed through her eyes. She murmured softly with her nightingale voice, "P.K., your end is nearing."

Just then, ruffling noises came & the door flew open with a bang. It was so loud that it gave the young bride a start. Next, she saw, Dhruv being pushed in mercilessly by his cousins, Anshul & Sonali. Anshul was Sonali's younger brother & a cousin to Dhruv & Kabir. He was a lively chatterbox in his teens. The white kurta-pajama intensified his cute looks & handsome features.

"Hey! Hey! What are you...", Dhruv tried his best to stop being pushed, "This isn't fair."

Janhvi giggled lightly. The moment Dhruv entered, the door was shut in. They actually dared to lock it from outside!

Janhvi blushed when Dhruv yelled, "Hey! I know how to lock the door. You don't have to do it."

"Oh! Come on, Bro!" Sonali spoke with a smiley edge to her voice, "What will happen if you can't handle your wild side?"

Anshul & Sonali giggled at the same time.

Dhruv raged, "You..."

He helplessly turned towards Janhvi & shrugged, "Don't mind them."

He noticed that her cheeks were tainted red as his eyes darted to every part of her curves. She was indeed the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He slowly made his way to the bed & sat down beside her.

Janhvi's lashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly before she raised them to look at him. Dhruv spoke, "Aren't you tired?"

"Hmm", Janhvi nodded, "You? What about you?"

"Me too", Dhruv climbed up & patted the pillows, "Let's sleep for now."

"Hmm", Janhvi nodded with a smile. Indeed, it was a big day for her tomorrow.

Dhruv lowered his upper body & his head collided with the pillow. Janhvi followed suit. She slept facing him & Dhruv mirrored her actions.

"Good night", She murmured softly.

"Good night", Dhruv said, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

...

The next morning

The day dawned bright & clear. Janhvi woke up earlier as her habit & saw Dhruv snoring, lying with his face down. She got down silently & made her way to the bathroom.

15 minutes later

Janhvi came out wearing a light green saree, suiting to her usual taste of hand-woven ones. She felt comfortable in them. After all, she never had the chance in her entire lifetime, to boast about being a rich girl. It's not that she never got the chance, her chance was snatched away, ripped from her. She sat down in front of the dressing table & began rubbing her hair with a soft towel.

The next moment, she felt a bear hug from behind. She didn't realize that Dhruv had woken up. Now he was resting his chin at the nook of her neck. She felt his warm lips brushing against his earlobe. Very slowly, he planted a kiss on her delicate collarbone. Janhvi shuddered with pleasure before she spoke, "What are you doing? Someone might see us."

"How? The door is locked from outside", Dhruv spoke groggily.

Janhvi harrumphed & stood up but Dhruv refused to let go. Finally, she shooed him away saying, "Go & have a bath if you want to hug your wife."

Dhruv understood the sense she was speaking in. He pouted sadly, "Wifey, you're too cruel."

Then, he quietly made his way to the bathroom. Janhvi squinted, 'This was just the trailer. The movie has not yet begun.'

Thereafter, Janhvi made a call, "Yeah, get it done by 10:30 a.m. No excuses."

A crazy smirk marked her face, indicating the devil was wide awake.
