CHAPTER 43

Prabhu's POV

I was never so excited about my birthday as I was this year. I can't wait to see the surprise my wife has been planning. Damn! My little vixen! It's so hard to control myself with her being so innocent and sexy at the same time. I couldn't keep my hands off her, and the beauty of it was, she liked it too. She would respond to me instantly when I initiated.

I still wondered how I controlled myself when I saw her almost half-naked. My brain thankfully advised me to hook her bra as the last string of my self-control was oscillating in its balance. But I couldn't help to kiss her beautifully smooth skin. But she stopped me right before I cross the border. I felt a little disappointed, yet I could understand her, and she did the right thing. Those two days were beautiful as we grew closer with the help of nature offering us a perfectly romantic climate.

I planned to do something for the one-month anniversary, but she got her periods before the day. She thought I didn't know, but I found it from her behaviour. She looked so exhausted and was hugging her stomach often. I indirectly helped her with households without making her suspicious as she wasn't comfortable yet to share that matter with me. But it earned me a few kisses on my cheeks from her as a token of her gratitude.

After her classes started, an idea popped up in my mind on seeing her using buses to go to her classes. So I asked my friend to bring the bike who visits here every week to place order for his business. I didn't have much work that day. I took off after attending an important meeting which I couldn't avoid. When I found her walking towards the bus stop, she was so much into her own world and didn't even notice me clearing my throat. So I pressed honk ignoring few elderly people's glares. Why do people judge so quickly? They might think that I was some immature teen trying to grab the attention of a girl. But I am trying to get my wife's attention!

I expected her to be happy about seeing me all of a sudden, but she was surprised at seeing my bike. Anyway, I was so happy on seeing her childlike happy face. She drives with love, and she would look like a pro. She has her style to bend the bike in turnings, passing in between two vehicles with ease and she loves to drive faster. Man! She looks damn hot while driving. And her scent is driving me crazy. I didn't miss any chance to touch her as I glued to her while driving. She was too focused on driving, but my focus was on the reflection of her in the mirror. Her contented face makes a smile grew on my face. God! What is she doing to me!!!

I was so annoyed when she started questioning me at the juice shop. But she knew how to make me relax. I knew the strange looks as not many women drive bike also not many men feel okay to sit behind a woman. Even my friends teased me for riding on her behind when I started teaching her bike driving. But 'a real male won't cower to encourage a woman's potential and he would treat her equal'.

My anger reached its peak when those bastards commented on my wife. I wanted to beat them to hell and back, but she didn't want me to fight. I was too frustrated to simply leave them but what she did next was epic. Their eyeball almost popped out of their sockets. I burst into laughter also amused by my vixen's behaviour. I realised that I still need to know her more. Also, I realised that just because she was behaving like a homely woman doesn't mean she didn't know these type of things. I puffed my chest in pride. My vixen has her backbone, and she knew how to manage situations.

I can't resist myself as I pulled her to a kiss in the lift. I love to see how she would completely involve herself in the kiss, forgetting everything. She didn't even seem to listen to the little 'ding' sound of lift as she waited for a few seconds to regain her senses before opening her eyes and searching for me. Damn her cuteness! She glared at me on seeing the old man entering the lift. But her glare made her look super sexy! Argh! My hormones are all over the place. 

I scooped up her as soon as we entered the home and quickly entered my room while she squirmed in my arms. I dropped her on the bed and hovered above her. She looked annoyed as she started hitting me. I stopped her, and she questioned why I kissed her in the lift. I just wanted to kiss her senseless to make her forget everything. But I decided against it and teased her. She turned pink and tried to kiss me. I teased her a little more. She got irritated with my teasing and turned around.

I looked at her in awe. She just got angry because I didn't let her kiss me. I wanted to shout 'I love you romba neraiya di my dear pondati' (I love you so much my dear wife), but I didn't want to scare her or make her confused by saying my love for her. So I planted a noisy kiss on her neck, which resulted in instant goosebumps all over her exposed skin. 

I grinned on my effect on her. I turned her and started kissing her. I knew this would lead us to a good make-out session, but I never expected my vixen to give me a release. I was disappointed as she still hesitates to show her beauty to me. But my mind went blank when she sat on my 'excited' manhood. When she moved her hip irrespective of my warning, I lost there. She paused before rubbing herself over me, making me go crazy. She moved her hips like an expert and half the way I joined her in action with her. My grip on her thigh tightened when I realised I was so close. 

I suddenly had the urge to kiss her. And I did. But she whined when I moved and dipped herself in between my legs to get an ideal position and resumed grinding her hips. I wanted to do so many things to her. But I am afraid to touch her as she just now declined to remove her bra. I wanted to stimulate her release. So I left her lips and started nibbling her sweet spots. It was a mind-blowing experience. I doubted whether she had her release even though her hold on my shoulder is painfully tight. But I knew she did when I moved my hip for a final touch and she moved away quickly with a gasp showing she might be sensitive after her orgasm. I looked at her face. Her tilted head with tightly closed eyes and slightly parted lips told me everything.

"Janu..." She opened her eyes with uneven breaths. I smiled at her, and she responded to me with a shy smile. She buried her face into my neck shyly. God! Why are you testing my patience? How can I stay away from her? I want her so badly. All of her! But I can't advance any move without knowing whether she was ready. I should be grateful for her to help me with my release.

"Thank you, darling. That was so... incredible." I whispered into her ears and rubbed her lower back in a circular motion as she seems embarrassed for taking the lead. She pulled away and muttered, "We need to clean up."

 I nodded and hid my smirk and released her body from my hold.

We ate lunch and discussed a few things while enjoying our time together. I was super excited to know about her surprise. I texted Akash and Vidhu to find some hint, but they seemed more clueless than me, and they bickered to let them know about it after I receive my gift. And I was so excited for tomorrow. I parked my car and entered the lift.

I used my keys to open the apartment at the thought of getting some clue regarding my surprise. So I walked into the home without making any sound and heard noises from the kitchen. I peeked into the kitchen and found my vixen sauteing something. I sneakily went behind her and pulled her into a hug making her yelp. I smashed my lips on hers. She was startled at first but tried to pull away. This is so unlike her. I was confused but kept my grip firm behind her neck and bit her lower lip softly. She whined, but a sound of something crashing to the floor made me pull away. I looked at the direction of the sound, and my heart skipped a beat.

My little sister was standing there showing her back to us yet closing her eyes with her hands. Now I understand why she didn't respond. I turned towards Janu in horror and found her glaring at me with a flushed face. She hit my arm, and her eyes conveyed she was planning the most torturous way to kill me. I never expected her here.

Damn! How did I forget! These two used to stay here on my birthdays to make me cut the cake in mid-night. I hit my forehead and stood there, not knowing what to do!

"Vidhu"

 Janu called her in a small voice. I felt so bad for making her feel embarrassed. Damn it!

"Shall I open my eyes? Are you guys decent?"

 I wanted to run away from this place. My stupid hormones!

"Yes, you can turn around."

 Janu said, clearing her throat. She turned around and looked at us with a mischievous look.

"Anna! Janu!"

 She exclaimed dramatically making us groan.

"My poor virgin eyes! But... that was one great show!"

 She said, covering her cheeks, making both of us cringe at the sentence.

"Anyway, I am so happy for you guys!"

 She came to us and pulled us into a group hug.

Thank God! She dropped the topic. We pulled away and looked at Vidhu's eyes, shining in excitement. She always wanted us happy. And now seeing us together she seems so ecstatic. I patted her head lovingly.

"First go and freshen up, mama."

 Janu said with a murderous look. I gulped and descended to our room. I freshened up and changed into a t-shirt and track pant. I was so drowned into my laptop as Akash asked my help with few files. He will return only the day after tomorrow from Bangalore. So I need to do a few things for his team here. 

A click of a door closing made me look up. I found Janu standing near the door with an emotionless face. I walked towards her to get the beating or scolding for my behaviour. She looked up at me with a small smile before bursting into laughter. Soon she reduced her voice but laughed sitting on the bed. Why she has to be so unpredictable?

I sat next to her. She rested her head on my shoulder and looked up at me.

"I was thinking so hard to find a way to tell Vidhu about us. But you made it clear with your one kiss."

 She sat straight and looked at me lovingly. I leaned forward and caught her lips with mine cupping her cheek with a hand and snaking my other hand around her waist, pulling her closer. She smiled before she started responding to me with her palm slowly rubbing the side of my neck, making me feel at ease, and she placed her other hand over my chest. The kiss is slow and soft yet magical. She pulled away with a smile and looked at me mischievously.

"I would love to be here and kiss you all night but your sister is waiting for us to join for the dinner."

 God! This woman can make me forget everything in this world! She smiled innocently before leaning towards me and swiped my lower lip with her tongue and walked towards the door with a wink. I shook my head with a smile and closed my laptop before joining them.

I saw them sitting opposite to each other, and I casually sat next to Janu to her left. She pulled her chair near me, making our shoulder touch each other. I smiled, thinking that she wanted to be close to me. But confused when she looked at me with a smirk before helping us serve the food.

"How were your classes going da?"

 I asked Vidhu.

"Haan anna. It was okay. Same old boring lectures and lab work."

 I nodded and opened my mouth to ask her about her hostel but paused mid-way as I felt Janu's hand on my right thigh. I turned towards her and found her eating innocently. I gulped a sip of water. And tried to focused on my mobile in my other hand as my breath started to come out irregular.

"Are you okay, Anna? Why is your food untouched?"

 Vidhu asked me after a few seconds. I looked up at her with a small smile.

"I was just..."

 I paused my sentence midway when she moved her hand up and down my thigh. I acted like rubbing my forehead to cover my strange behaviour. Damn you vixen! I screamed inside my mind as her slow rubbing was making me 'excited'.

"Nothing da... Anna is just thinking about.."

 She moved hand upwards, paused very close near my 'excitement' and pressed there softly. Vidhu looked so concerned and Janu also looking at me equally concerned as if she is not responsible for my behaviour.

"What happened, mama? Is everything alright?"

 She asked so innocently while running her fingers near my lower hip bone. I gritted my teeth and nodded with a forced smile. Why she was doing this? Is this her revenge for making her embarrassed in front of my sister? I narrowed my eyes at her and pretend to be eating normally.

On seeing me not giving her an expected response, she traced her fingers towards my inner thigh. I placed my mobile on the table and caught her wrist with my free hand. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me with irritation clearly written on her face. I nodded my head 'no'. She raised her eyebrow smugly. I inhaled a deep breath before glaring at her. She instantly looked scared and pulled her hand away from my hold. She kept silent for the rest of the time. I made some random talk with Vidhu. And apologised that I was thinking about something important related to the office, but I couldn't properly remember whom I assigned the work. And that's what made me tense. She nodded in understanding, buying my lie.

After dinner I found them whispering to each other and Janu came out blushing. But on seeing my hard look, she frowned and went inside the kitchen again. Ah! My vixen is thinking I am angry with her. I decided to maintain it to tease her for my payback.

I went to my room to continue the pending work knowing she would come to check on me. She came inside after a few minutes and locked the door. I looked at her confused as she would sleep with Vidhu usually whenever she was here. Is this my sister's arrangement on seeing our little show?

"Vidhu" 

 She muttered on seeing my confused expression. 

I pursed my lips and continued my work. I found her sitting on the bed from my peripheral vision. After a few minutes, she started walking across the room. I bit my lips to stop it curving into a smile from the nervous expressions of my vixen. I closed my laptop and walked past her without a word and sat on my side of the bed. I laid down comfortably near the corner of the bed and pretend to be using my mobile, watching her restless form sitting at the corner of bed from my peripheral vision.

"Mama"

 She called in an unsure and cautious tone. I just looked at her with a blank face. She frowned and nodded her head 'nothing' and laid in a hurry on the other corner. I smiled, looking at her back. How long are you planning to stay away from me, darling? I waited for her to make some move.

I opened my eyes as I had some disturbing feel at the bottom of the heart. I realised that I have fallen asleep. I looked at her direction and found her curled up, body shaking silently. Damn it! 

No! No! No! No!

I rolled towards her and propped up my body and touched her upper arm to turn to look at me. She looked at me with watery eyes which instantly broke my heart. I sat up immediately and scooped up her placed her on my lap and hugged her tightly. She hugged me back and started chanting 'sorry, mama. Please forgive me'. My heart felt heavy on seeing her so vulnerable. We have fought before. But I never got this intense reaction from her. Usually, we would compromise within a few minutes. I shouldn't have waited for her to make a move. God! she was sobbing so much. I whispered that 'I am not angry with you darling' and 'it's okay' repeatedly into her ear.

Her tears were soaking my t-shirt. Why isn't she stopping? I pulled her head and cupped her cheeks and wiped the tears and kissed her forehead, telling her to stop crying. She took a few deep breaths on my request but broke into tears once again. She was scaring me.

"Are you alright, Janu? You are scaring me. Please stop crying. Is your body not feeling well? Answer me, darling. Please."

 She looked at my eyes and frowned before sitting up and wiping my tears which I didn't realise of shedding. She then gave me a tight hug.

"Why did you cry?"

 I asked. She smiled a little and looked away. Her smile gave a warm feel to my heart. I placed my finger below her chin and made her look at me.

"I never imagined your anger and silence could affect me this much. I don't know why but I can't bear the thought of you pushing me away."

 Her voice was low and croaky from crying. But her words made me feel a lot better. I leaned and softly pecked her lips.

"I am sorry darling. I was just messing up with you. I thought you would come and speak to me and I wanted to tease you with the anger mask. But I am so stupid. I fell asleep. And see my darling is feeling hurt because of my stupidity. I was not angry with you. I could never get angry with you, darling. I may be mad for a few minutes, but my anger will fly away on seeing your beautiful face. If you still doubt it, just smile at me once, I will rush to you and kiss you senselessly till your doubts go away. I could never push you away. And I am extremely sorry for making my darling cry."

 I reassured her with guilt. She shook her head with a blush, and her eyes sparkled when I confessed.

"Don't be sorry. You made me realise your importance in my life!"

 She said with a small smile, not making eye contact. Uh? What does she mean?

"And what did you realise?"

 I asked eagerly. She looked down with a blush. I leaned down and kissed her cheek. She blinked for a minute before speaking with a small voice.

"You are changing my life, mama. It would never be normal without you. I don't know how to say it... Umm..."

 She looked at me with a cute thinking face. My heart was jumping in happiness at my vixen's confession. I gave her a peck, oh her lips.

"I understand, darling."

 I said with a bright smile. She looked at my eyes with the pink painted cheeks.

Man, she looked so adorable. Oh God! Millions of thanks to you, for making me so lucky and blessing me with my vixen. I let out a sigh and looked at her tired form. I made her lie on the bed and lie down next to her and pulled her into my arms. She let out a contented sigh and rested her head over my chest, snuggling closer to me. After a few seconds of comfortable silence, she propped up her upper body and started kissing all over my face. I chucked at her sudden shower of kisses.

She looked at me naughtily before pulling my t-shirt over my head and throwing it away. She planted her lips on my neck as soon as the cloth left my body and started assaulting my neck. I tilted my head up to give her better access and enjoyed the affection of my vixen. She ran her hand over my body, tracing her fingers, making me go crazy. I gripped her back of the neck and enjoyed her actions. Soon she came up and looked at me with a beautiful smile. I smiled back and raised my head to catch her lips. She tilted her head to deepen the kiss.

We were startled by a soft knock on the door. Janu giggled before mouthing 'Vidhu'. She quickly hopped down the bed and threw my t-shirt towards me. She went near the door but quickly walked back to me and held my cheeks before kissing my lips. She pulled away on hearing the knock once again and looked at me with a big grin.

"Advance happy birthday my dear mama! Now pretend to be sleeping or else she will kill me."

 She whispered with a pleading look. 

I chuckled, but she shushed me with her finger and signalled me to lie down. I closed my eyes to act as my vixen requested. I heard a few whispers and shuffling, and everything became silent after a click of the door closing. I peeled my eyes open and found the time 11:32 PM. Why did they wake up so soon? A few minutes before 12 would be enough, right?

I shrugged and stretched my hands and laid on my back. My thoughts went to Janu. Where else it would go? She is not the one who easily broke into tears. It shows how close she holding me to her heart. I don't know whether she realised it or not, but she is too falling for me. If only we have found this love before few months, our life would have been totally different. I sighed at the thought. And my mind was now eagerly expecting my vixen's gift.

I closed my eyes as soon as I heard some sound outside the door. I woke up and rubbed my eyes as if I just wake up. I looked at both of them smiling at me. I waited for them to wish me, but they shared a look, and Janu pulled a hanky from her pocket and asked me to close my eyes. Woah! What are they planning? I sat still till they are satisfied with their work. Then they lead me somewhere, and with the sound of 'ding,' I could tell they were kidnapping me outside the home, but I couldn't guess up or down. They asked me to climb a few steps confirming they are leading me to the terrace.

They started counting from ten to one, they removed my blindfold shouting 'happy birthday'. I blinked a few seconds to adjust my vision. I looked around and found candles lit around a small space of terrace, and there was a table with the cake. The entire place is so silent, and the sky is so dark from being a new moon tonight. And their candles were shining along with the stars making the sight look so amazing. I grinned at them and thanked them for their efforts. Vidhu dramatically bowed and show me to lead the way. I made my way toward the table and found a purple paradise there. I mean there was glossy purple sauce above the white frosting. And 'HBD Prabhu' was written in chocolate. Janu quickly lit the candles.

"Make a wish, mama," She said while I bent to blow the candle. I smiled and closed my eyes.

'Thank you very much for giving me a wonderful family, God. Bless us to be healthy, happy and together until our last breath.'

 I was contented with my wish and bent to blow the candle, but a whiff of sudden air blew it before me. I don't believe much in omens. But right now, I felt my heart heavy as if God is trying to tell me something about the wish I made.

On seeing my frown, they cheered me up by telling that this was the disadvantage of celebrating on the terrace, and now they were covering the sides of the candle, not allowing air. I smiled at their behaviour and blew it. Now the toughest task. Whom should I feed first? Usually, I will give it to Vidhu. But now I wanted to give it to Janu. I cut it with the internal battle, but Janu suddenly moved away taking her phone from pant pocket to capture the moment. I looked at her in little disappointment. But she nodded her head 'no' as if she could read my mind. I couldn't help but smile.

"Pha...! Janu, I really appreciate you. But shut up and come here and get the first bite. I'm not stupid to come between love birds." 

 Vidhu stated smugly.

"I am not going to change our usual routine." 

 Janu replied with a smirk.

"If you two want to fight all night, I don't have a problem to eat this cake all alone. It looks so delicious. Yummm!" 

 I knew I hit their weak point!

Vidhu now opened her mouth. I fed her, and she fed me back. The cake is indeed great. I turned towards Janu, and she came near me and cut a piece to feed me. I fed her back, but my vixen bit my fingers. We sat there a few minutes eating a good portion of the cake. Vidhu mentioned it’s a black forest cake topped with blackcurrant sauce. I thanked them for their selection of yummy cake.

Vidhu gifted me a deep blue formal shirt and an Amazon gift card for two thousand. I instantly loved it as it was a new colour for my collection. I have a few blue shirts but not this shade. I hugged her and thanked her for the gifts.

I turned towards my vixen and found her biting her lips. Then she extended her hand with a rectangular gift.

I opened it eagerly and found it was a gold chain with my first letter 'P' as the pendant. It was so beautiful. The cursive letter almost curved and forming... 'J'? I quickly looked at her suspiciously as I couldn't point out whether it's a coincidence or my vixen did it purposely. Her half smirking smile made it clear that she knew that I found the inner message of the gift.

I showed it to Vidhu, and she is too smart to exclaim.

"Wow! Janu, you made a single pendant showing both of your names' first letter." 

 Janu didn't say anything but smiled.

We cleaned the area and carried everything back home. Vidhu bid bye and went to sleep. My vixen's gift means so much to me. She has given so many gifts, but this is so special for me. She had the thought of showing our bonding in a pendant. It's a touching sentimental gift.

I hugged her tightly and kissed her head.

"That was one amazing present, darling. I loved it" 

 Her eyes shone in happiness. She cupped my cheeks and kissed my forehead.

"Wait until you get my surprise!" 

 She said with a mischievous smile.

"Wait! Is that mean there is more?" 

 She laughed and nodded her head. But quickly her face turned serious.

"Let's go to sleep. We have to wake up early to go to the temple." 

I nodded, and we went to bed. She rested her head over my chest, circling her hand over my torso. I drifted off to sleep with a contented heart.
