" You should rest too. It was quite a long journey. you must be tired. " I told him. He is still looking at me and his eyes are surprised.
wait am I acting too out of the character...is he suspecting something? well I have that covered as well. After coming here I faked an injury a few days ago. Few villagers were witnesses...and thus I have a short term memory loss where I forgot everything....including him. sounds good.
" Actually husband....I have something to share with you. " I said sitting down. I don't know what the original host used to call him...so as a safe option I am calling him husband.
" After you left while trying to pull straw from the roof...I feel. I got hurt and for sometimes forgot everyone...even my children. My neighbors helped me remember my children...and others. I remembered who I am but forgot what happened after marriage....is it normal? " I asked him innocently.
" where did you get hurt? Show me? " he asked getting concerned. I showed the little wound behind my back...the original owner did fall one time and the scare is still fresh in her head cause she got hurt before I got in.
He asked many questions about the injury...like does it hurt? what medicine did you apply in the wound?.....and many more. But the only thing I was concerned about was...he was too close. In order to look at my wound properly in light...I had to sit sidewise and his fingers parting my hairs to look...his body near mine...I could almost feel his warmth.
" You had a short term memory loss...it's like when you forget a certain portion of your life...not the whole thing. It happens sometimes....be careful when you do stuff like that. Does it hurt when I touch it? " he said in a caring voice and I am melting.
" No " I replied in a whisper. In my line if a job always had men competing for my post or speaking nasty. None took care of me...it's new to me.
" That's why you didn't recognise me in the market?" he asked and I nodded. " yes....and I am ashamed of it." I told him seriously. " Not your fault. " he said removing his hands from my head.
" What else did you forget? " he asked out of curiosity. " Few faces...recent relatives. My time with you...I guess I will need your help to remember them or do stuff with your help....will you help me? " I asked him nicely.
" yes I will. " This one sounds like a promise but not that I am complaining. " okay...ummm...I am taking Arav to rest..you should rest too. " I told him I took Arav and ran from the scene. I don't know what made my cheeks burn like that.
I brought Arav into the guest room...since it's his house I can't tell him to sleep in the guest room. So I shifted myself. The little guy full of energy was not in the mood to sleep. so I let him play on his own as I lay with him thinking about my life....what am I going to do here?
I honestly didn't have any hopes for my husband....I misjudged thinking he would be some country guy...my narrow brain filled with prejudices. But he is absolutely stunning....he did go for army training but his grandmother got sick and took a promise from him to never join the army....but must say he is a sight and I would like to....too far..stop it.
I know I don't have any outings from here but am I ready for it. All big responsibilities....can I handle it? I don't know if it's just...I have to do it and I will do it.
After a good nap kids went out to play football. purvi on the other hand sat to do some painting...she loves drawing patterns. so I bought her some colors and now she is drawing in an earthen pot....she is good at it.
Since Adrik has just returned he wouldn't be going out to work today. can use him for some work...let's go.
Adrik ( POV )
okay....so she had a memory loss. One week and she lost her memory...great. And what she forgot first....me her husband. But something has changed.
I never wanted her more than I wanted her today. All I was thinking was to take her in my arms...but she is not interested....she even slept in the guest room. But why is she doing that? Is she still doubting me as her husband?
I don't understand....am I not her type? we have a son together...and every time it felt like it was a mission for her to get a child...after that nothing. she never called me by my name or husband....hardly talked. Now that she is in talking terms...I am falling hard for her. Am I that easy to please?
" Husband can you look after Arav while I make some snacks for the kids? " a voice broke my daze. Its my wife carrying our little one. The little one already swinging arms to come to me. I took the little guy from her.
" would you like anything specific....chai...or anything you like? " she asked, her eyes still on Arav. " A cup of tea please..." I told and she nodded. She was about to leave when the boys walked in.
They are covered in mud and sweat...must be a hard game. " look at your piggies....all covered in mud. Come on....wash up or special drink for everyone. " she said and the boys rushed to clean up. well whatever the special juice is....my boys are pretty scared of it. she handed them clothes and towels.
" Now get dry and draw what you did with the ball today and I will make tasty food. " she said and the boys are in attention mode. I asked purvi about the special juice...she said
" Its neem leaves juice...for people who don't listen to her." well pretty nice idea.
" Mummy doesn't like sweaty people....so she made that rule. " clarified my daughter. And that got me thinking...do I smell?That's why she avoided me? well guess it's time to take a shower. If thats what takes to be with her than...be it.
