I opened the door of Raj's Cabin slowly when I saw in CCTV that my baby is sleeping.
I walked towards her with slow steps and kneeled near her.
I creased her head gently and pecked on her forehead.
"Am sorry mera bacha, I hurt you too much today" I said tugging her hair back.
I opened my coat and covered her underneath it.
Believe me, not talking to you and behaving cold with you was so tough for me.
Only I know how I managed to do that. But I was scared when I found you in that way today.
I was scared when you throw up today in the morning.
I was scared when you said your head and stomach are paining.
My heart was aching at the thought that I couldn't stop you from having that shit which caused you pain.
I know you are still a kiddo but what you did was not childish behavior!!
So I had to be strict.
But am sorry.
Am really sorry.
Because of me my sweeta cried today.
And I pecked her lips softly making sure not to wake her up.
I hadn't pecked your hands today na! Am sorry.
And I held both her hands and placed soft kiss on the back side of them.
Only because you don't feel bore I told Raj to give you a tour too and trust me my eyes were always fixed at the CCTV screen.
I know doctor said to give you healthy food only, but I know you are sad today BECAUSE OF ME... So I ordered your favorite cupcakes.
Still.... This is not enough to make up for what I did today.
I am feeling guilty.
You called me and I didn't respond.
I know I am very bad.
Your Kartik is very bad.
I never wanted to make you upset.
But this was necessary!
I sighed and stood up pecking her again on her forehead.
"Am sorry kiddo" I murmured slowly.
"So it means you are talking to me now?" She said with closed eyes.
Wait wait...
One second....!!!
I looked at her with thinned eyes.
And she opened her one eye with a sheepish smile.
"Say na!! You are talking to me right" She asked again.
I folded my arms and looked at her.
"You were awake all the time" I asked her.
"No no no not all the time" And she sat on the couch with folded legs.
And I eyed her.
"Actually.... Maybe" She said fidgeting her fingers together.
"But.... You said sorry didn't you.
Mene maaf kiya aapko" She added happily.
I tried to maintain flat face but uffff JUST LOOK AT HER!!!
And I chuckled.
And she too giggled looking at me.
Mera bachaa!!!!
Day 173893900637 of asking how can anyone be this CUTE!!!
"But... " And I managed to be in character.
And she looked at me innocently.
Okay Kartik focus!
I kneeled near her and grabbed her both hands into mine.
"What you did was wrong" I tried to explain.
"I know kartik, I promise I won't even drink any kind of soft drinks in your absence from now on. But not this silent treatment. Please. I swear I didn't know that was alcohol, I never even have touched it" She replied.
And the last line caught my attention.
"What??? You didn't knew that was alcohol??" I inquired.
"No sachii.... I swear" She nodded and replied.
I cupped her face and asked looking into her eyes.
"Are you saying truth or just saying because you are afraid. Because you know your Kartik would never hurt you right" I asked creasing her cheekbones.
"No No No really, I am not lying. We order something to drink and waiter served us this." She said
" So we drank it. First it tasted so bitter than I thought it could be some kind of soft drink so I didn't complained as everyone was having that" She added.
I listened her patiently.
"Why didn't you told me this before my sweeta" I asked her.
"I tried but I was scared as you weren't talking to me" She said slowly looking down.
And a lump of guilt formed inside my throat.
I punished her even without knowing the whole thing!
Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!
How stupid you are kartik!!
How could you even do that!!
My kiddo didn't even know what she was having.
That fucker waiter!!!
FUCKING HELL....!!
I tried to calm down my anger that was rushing in my veins.
I softly rubbed my fingers on her cheeks and tried to form words.
"Am sorry baby" I said.
"You are talking to me??" She asked with innocence.
And my heart sank deeper inside the pit of my stomach.
I rose up with my hand behind her head.
I gently kept her head on the back of couch and hovered over her with my one knee on the couch.
I can't stop myself to devour her.
The next moment her lips meet mine in soft embrace, as if I am trying to erase the guilt filling my body with her soft touch.
I devoured every inch of her lips with my lips and took time inside mine to suck them until I can taste the sweetness of her.
I sucked them passionately as if trying to get honey out of them.
The softness of her lips were sending shivers down my spine.
Meanwhile my tongue traced every corner of her and then entered inside and she let me do that, completely under my control.
Her both hands clutched the shirt over my shoulder.
I opened my eyes only to see her flawless face and Oh her eyes, they were closed tightly as if she is surrendering to the sensation.
Her breaths were deep.
I pulled myself back and she gasped for air but her eyes were still closed.
I brushed my lips on hers slowly while her chest was heaving up and down in irregular rhythm.
I traced the curves of her mouth.
I traced my fingers at her nape and she shivered under my touch and clutched me more tightly, refusing to open her eyes.
I then held her nape and pulled her more closer, as if my soul was not getting enough of her, and deepens the kiss.
The world around us melts, leaving only the two of us lost in embrace.
I rubbed my thumb on her nape and when I felt her patting, I parted my lips and we shared the sweet breaths.
I am yearning for more!!
"I can't resist you Shivi" I whispered while she was breathless.
Her cheeks covered in bright shade of red and she gazed down.
I lifted her head up with my fingers wrapped around her nape as I wanted to lost inside her dark brown eyes which are no less then a deep ocean.
I cupped her face and pecked her forehead.
"I have a surprise for you" I said with love looking at her.
Her eyes sparked with excitement.
"Really" She asked.
"Ahm-hm" I hummed and nodded.
"What's that" She asked excitedly.
I left her cheeks and settled beside her on the couch.
"Well- that's a surprise" I replied.
"Kartik, bataye naa" She said looking at me.
"Patience mera bacha." I said touching her nose with my finger.
And she pouted.
Which made me smile.
"Kab denge" She asked.
"Ummm.... At night" I replied.
"Why not abhiii??" She asked folding her arms.
"Because.... I love to tease you" I said and stood up.
"Haww Kartik, that is not very nice" She said and stood up with my coat.
I chuckled.
I turned back at her and I saw my kitten standing there with a pout.
I cupped her face and squeezed her cheeks just to make her pout more and then pecked her softly.
"Kha jaunga aapko mei aesi cute harkatein karenge toh"
I said teasing and took coat from her.
"Huh!! Don't, Don't talk to me"
She said folding her arm.
"Acha baba okay" I said wearing my coat.
"Chalo ice cream khate hai" I added.
And grabbed her hand and dragged her with me while she still was pouting and looking at other side.
"Hey Kiddo, how was your nap?"
Raj asked.
I stopped near him and she replied slowly, "Someone intruded"
I left her hand and stood with my arms folded.
And she looked at opposite side with tight smile.
Meanwhile Raj chuckled.
"That's too bad Kartik, why you disturbed my sister hmm??" Raj said with a tease.
I sighed looking at both.
This brother sister duo!!
"Ho gya aap dono ka" I asked lazily.
"Huh!! Did anyone said something" Shivi said.
"Ohh I see so roles reversed hm" Raj added with a smile.
"Karma Brother Karma" He said patting my shoulder.
"Oh I thought of giving someone surprise though! Never mind" I replied tilting my head.
"Haww bhai, see how bad he is!!" Shivi said to Raj.
I chuckled looking at her.
Before Raj could say anything I held shivi's hand and started walking out.
"Chalo baad mei shikayat lagana"
And she huffed.
"Byeee bhai" She said waving hand to Raj
And he waved back.
_________________________
I took her to my side instead of passenger seat and she looked at me confused.
I smiled and picked her up.
She held my neck tightly because of this sudden action and before she could process anything I settled inside with her in my lap, in my embrace.
Too much of distance since morning! Now I can't bear more....!!!
I want her in my arms...!!
Always and forever.
I pecked her head softly.
And she clutched my shirt with her hands and blushed, looking down.
I smirked and started the car.
"And Sweeta, you didn't tell me if you like the office" I asked her while driving.
I know she is getting anxiety for the surprise. So I tried to divert her mind.
"Ohhh I loved it Kartik. The best office I had ever seen" She started chirping excitedly.
"Hmm-hmm" I hummed with same excitement.
"And more than that your staff, they all were so sweet and kind. I made so many friends today. I loved them all" She added happily.
Of course they know the consequences of not talking to her kindly!
I looked at her happy face and smiled.
"That's great sweeta" I replied taking turn.
"I too would work in this kind of office one day" She added leaning to my chest.
"So when you are coming for interview" I asked.
She looked at me, "Your office. No no no. It's too big and am underqualified for this!"
"Of course not baby! I know you have capabilities" I replied.
"Only you think and this thing still have four years!! And you know what?" She said looking at me.
"What baby" I asked.
" Bhai brought me cup cakes and brownies too." She said.
"Okay Okay I know, doctor said no but that looked so yum" She said fidgeting her fingers again.
Her cute habit, whenever she feel nervous or scared.
I chuckled and pecked her head.
"It's okay baby! But no more from now on" I added strictly.
"No more at all" She replied shocked.
"Umm may be an ice cream" I said and stopped the car.
She gasped in happiness.
"You know what kartik! You are not that bad.... I love you" She said happily pecking my cheek.
"Hayeeeee!" I said dramatically rubbing my heart.
"If this is the going to be the reward, I can buy you as many ice creams you want. But but but.... I won't" I said pecking her nose with a sheepish smile.
And she smiled first and then huffed and hit me softly on my chest.
"So? Which flavor?" I asked.
I know what she would say but still.
"Chocobar" She replied.
"Chocobar?" I asked
"Yeahhh" She said.
"Okkk chocobar" I said
I looked outside at the ice cream stall.
"One chocobar please" I said
The man Standing there nodded and brought that.
"You don't want" She asked.
I shaked ny head in no and took that bar from him, and paid for it.
"Here" I gave her after opening the cover.
"Thank youuu!" She said and took that.
She licked the top of it like a five year old while leaning on me.
I just looked at her and-
My mind....!!
Stop it Kartik!!!
I started looking out of the window instead with a hue of redness covering my cheeks.
She stretched her hand towards me.
I looked at her with and blinked looking at her.
The thoughts of-
Ahhh no no no!! She is still young 😊
I forced a smile and took a bite.
She smiled and continued licking it.
Fuck...!!
I never knew an ice cream can be this tempting!!
Or may be her lips and tongue over it.
And I can feel myself getting-
"Shivi" I cleared my throat.
She looked at me.
"The road is not clear in further route with so many hurdles, you would feel uneasy. "
I find air to take breath as I was feeling suffocated because of this hell ice cream!
"Oh it's ok" And she stood and settle on the passenger seat.
Did she understand?
I looked at her for the hint of hurt but okay! She was busy having that thing!
If her lips were across my-
I loosen my tie.
Hell Kartik! And I started the car with a jerk.
I adjusted myself to feel little easy but it's not at all helping!!
My fault I bought her this!!
And I tried not to look at her.
Or else I don't know what would I do...!!
_______________________
"Sweeta, there's something for you in your room" I said entering inside.
"Really" She asked.
"Yeahhh, Go and check fast fast"
I replied excitedly.
She smiled happily and ran towards her room.
I was planning for this since last night.
When she said she too wanted to come with in office, I didn't knew how would I escape to do preparations.
But Thanks to Raj...!!
I followed her to her room.
And I heard a scream of excitement.
I chuckled.
She liked that thank goodness.
I stood at the door only to see her little jumps of excitement.
She looked at me and ran towards me and hugged me tightly.
"Thank you Thank you so much Kartik, I loved it.... Thank you for this surprise"
I hugged her back and pecked her shoulder.
She pulled back and twirled with the dress in her front.
This was an off shoulder satin train dress.
Just to decide this one dress took me a complete hour!
But that hour worth after seeing her happy face.
"Welcome my baby but did I say this is your surprise?" I said
She stopped and looked at me shocked.
"Don't tell me it's something else" She asked.
And I smirked.
"Kartikkkkkk.... Now I can feel something something inside my stomach tell na what's it" She asked impatiently.
"Patience baby" I stated.
"Go shabash add shines to this outfit by wearing it" I said.
And she formed her lips in a thin line with a blush.
"Gooo" I said.
And she walked to washroom.
I meanwhile went to her dresser. Where she keeps all her make over things.
Trust me, just to know the names of all took me an eternity!
And I finally learnt how to apply make up and style the hair from the stylist after buying outfit for her.
I was thinking how to keep her away from my cabin as she would try to find me after not seeing me there but then I saw her moving towards Raj's in the CCTV.
My good luck!
Or we can say God was at my side today.
Okay so, I searched through it for the things stylist told me for basic yet beautiful makeup.
My sweeta would look the best even without that but still... Anything to make her happy.
Foundation.
Concealor.
Lipstick.
Her dress is white so yeah red would go.
Beauty Sponge.
Eye shadow pallet.
Uffff....!!
And blush??
I don't want to mess up so I would do that with her lipstick only.
And yeah mascara.
Finally the kohl eye pencil.
"Kartik... How am I looking" She said standing behind me.
I turned to look at her.
And she twirled her outfit.
The prime purpose of buying her this...!!
I love to see when she twirl.
My princess.
Her white satin dress is shimmering.
I looked at her with wide eyes as she walked towards me.
The off shoulder design framed her face and the train flowed behind her like a river of moonlight.
My gaze was transfixed.
And my breath?
Oh my breath caught in my throat.
I felt like I was drowning in the depths of her eyes sparkling like a diamond against the snowy white of her dress.
The satin fabric seemed to glow with an etheral light as if infused with an otherworldly
essence.
As she approached me.
My heart raced, my pulse pounding in my temples.
I felt an overwhelming urge to take her in my arms, to hold her close and never let her go.
The dress was a masterpiece, but it was shivi's radiant smile that truly stole my breath away.
"How am looking" She asked again looking at me.
"Breathtaking," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
And she blushed.
Ohhh!! If she can effect me in just dressing up I wonder what would happen to me after....!!
Ahhh...
"What you are doing with these things" She enquired looking at me holding those things!
I looked at my hand and then at her.
"Come here" I said .
She looked at me confused but followed the direction of my eyes.
She sat on the chair in front of the mirror.
"But Kartik, I don't know how to use them" She added.
"Why to fear when Kartik is hear" I said and sat on the dresser facing shivi with my back at mirror.
"No No No, don't tell me you are going to do experiment on me" She said and moved to stand up.
But sat back when I glared her.
"Don't you trust me" I asked taking her moisturizer first.
"Of course I do but!!!" She said.
"Baby girl if you trust me then there should be No but" I said applying moisturizer softly on her skin.
"Lekin..... " She tried to say something.
"Shhhhh Let me do and just close your eyes" I said.
And she did with hesitation.
Ufff...!!!
I opened her foundation and pumped it into my palm.
I applied it all over her face with my finger.
I then blend it with beauty sponge with all concentration.
I applied Concealor underneath her eyes, her chin.
Ummm nose line, side of her lips while she was playing with her dress.
I know baby you are nervous but trust me your kartik would not do anything which would disappoint you in any way.
And I blended the Concealor too gently.
"Kartik what you are doing" She asked.
"Shhhh... " I replied.
And she mummed.
I took her lipstick and applied it on the back of my hand and then mixed it with Concealor.
Phew!! It's a tough job!!
With my finger I then applied it on her cheekbone and nose.
I didn't need to do that, just a line and natural blush would automatically come on her face but still....!!
I moved back to have a look.
Ahhhh perfect.
"Shivi do aaaa" I said opening the lipstick.
And she followed.
I applied it on her lower lip and then on upper lip slowly and slowly making sure not to mess it, I even not dared to take breath during the whole process.
And finally!!
I looked at it for a second and some was coming out from the edge.
I cleared it with the edge of my thumb and yeahh!! Very good kartik.
I felt proud on myself!!
When she felt it's done she closed her lips.
"Can I open my eyes" She asked.
"No no not yet!!"
I replied and grabbed the eye shadow.
I opened it and brushed it with its brush.
I applied that carefully over her eyes and then took the kohl pencil.
The toughest task...!!
"Okay open your eyes, but don't you look into the mirror" I said opening the kohl.
I made sure to cover the mirror completely.
I don't want her to look at herself before completing.
My heart is getting excited to see her reaction!! I just can't wait....
She opened her eyes.
"Don't tell me you are going to apply this also??" She asked looking at the kohl pencil.
"Of course I will" I said with a sneer smile.
"Krishna Ji!! Bass bhoot mat bana dena mujhe kartik" She said.
"Okkk shhhh" I said and applied kohl on her lower water line.
And then on her eyelid giving it a little sharp edge.
Then I proceed towards the final thing.
Her mascara....!!
And with this my heart beat raised....!!
I don't know if she would like it or not!!
Ahhhh...!!
I applied mascara on her eye lashes slowly and made sure not to hurt her.
And done...!!
I stood up and looked at her with a smile.
My gaze lingered on her face.
I took a deep breath and kept my hand on my heart.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Haaaye" I murmured under my breath.
She blinked at me in mixed emotions.
I can feel her cheeks getting more blushy.
"Can I see myself" She asked.
"Not yet" And I rolled her chair to opposite direction.
"Kartikkk" She said.
"Sweeta just five minutes more" I said grabbing her comb.
I combed the length of her hair like she's my glass doll.
And no doubt she is...!!
I tried to do in the most soft and gentle way.
I parted them and let them fall on her shoulder.
I moved in front of her.
At last I applied kohl at the back of her ear.
And then curled my hands above her hand to take all the evil eyes off!!!
She looked at me with a shy smile and then stood up.
My eyes are enough to define how she is looking!!!
Ufff... Mar hi na jaun mei...!!!
"Dekhne dijiye ab mujhe I can't wait" She said impatiently.
I shaked my head and smiled.
I was too stunned to say anything.
I stepped aside and let her look her in the mirror.
The pure beauty...!!
I stood beside her and snaked my hands around her waist.
"So, isn't my jaan the most beautiful girl in this whole universe" I asked looking into her eyes through mirror.
She was looking both shocked and surprised.
"I didn't know you were so good at makeup" She replied.
"Ahh haa, my baby is so flawless that I didn't needed to do anything much" I said resting my head on her shoulder.
"You are the best and am really so fortunate to have you" She replied.
"And I am blessed to have you" I replied and pecked the back of her head.
She moved to my side and hugged me emotionally.
"Ayieee, I didn't did that to make you cry! Don't don't let that traitor tear fall down your eyes" I said creasing her head.
And she nodded with a soft laugh.
"Okay! Let me go and get ready too we are getting late for surprise" I said.
She moved back and looked at me.
"Getting late??" She asked confused.
"Yeah" I said touching her nose and walked to my room.
I hadn't seen but I know she must be pouting.
Which made me smile.
My kiddo...!!!!!
