CHAPTER 49

Prabhu's POV

After speaking with my Murugan mama, I felt a big burden lifted off my shoulder. He understood everything I said and apologised for jumping onto conclusion without knowing the truth. Even though I feel unhappy for their distrust, I can't really blame them for thinking me wrong. All rational parents would think like that.

But I wanted to tease my vixen. So I ignored her till the next day. But I never expected her to ask me to leave to Kanchipuram. Honestly, I could understand her worry for her father, yet I didn't want her to leave. How can she leave me? Why can't she convince her parents to stay here?

I tried convincing them, but mama looks healthy inside out as if he turned on a switch and he wanted to go back home. The doctors too wondered about his health condition but concluded 'mind' plays an important role in his health which we all agreed as he got better on the instance of knowing the truth.

Is it so easy for her to leave me?

Despite the fact she would return, my heart didn't want her to go. So I continued ignoring her to see whether I have any effect on her. And I decided to pay a visit at the weekend and also to confess my feeling about her if... when I realise she too had the same effect as me.

But my vixen showed her affection by her frequent calls and messages. But I liked the game as I let her miss me. I can't contain the happiness on seeing her messages every time. Yet she has her ego not to directly question me about my behaviour. She would greet me every morning and night. But not a single 'miss you' text yet.

I miss my vixen so much. I was living in this apartment for the past five years. But I never felt so lonely all that time. Here, I feel so incomplete without her. And sleep is far away daily without the warmth of her beside me. I am using her t-shirt as a pillow cover to cuddle with. She will keep on saying something, and now I miss her melodious voice. Damn! I miss every single thing about her.

Fortunately, I managed to cover our little game from our parents. I intentionally tested her patience by skipping meeting her on Friday night. I was so excited to meet her. But I should wait so I could get all her bottled up love. And when I confess my feelings, she would instantly realise her love as this little distance would have taught her the lesson. 

I was so worried when my mama called me and told me that my vixen fainted. I rushed there immediately and found her uncomfortably passed out in the living room sofa. I scooped her up and made her lie down in her bed. I questioned her parents non-stop about what is wrong with her. But they just shared looks between them. They asked me to let her rest. But I was so worried that I wanted to take her to hospital, but my appa stopped me and asked whether we consummated our relationship. After saying yes, he uncomfortably asked whether there is any chance for her getting pregnant. I was too shocked by this newfound information.

Could it be possible?

 Obviously, Yes! Even though we just made love twice, we didn't use any protection both the time. And it was a week ago.

God! Am I going to become a Father?

My eyes welled up in happiness as I realised a soul which is a symbol of our love might be now inside her.

We are going to be parents!

We are going to bring a life into this world out of our love. 

Oh my vixen! You are giving me new reasons to love you more every day!

It's too soon as we are married not even for three months. But that doesn't matter. I am so ready to become a father. She loves kids. I could tell she would be ecstatic to know this good news.

I nodded my head to my appa with unshed tears. My appa hugged me and told me to take her to check up after she gets her conscious, and we need to confirm it with her once.

I went to her room and placed her head in my lap and stroked her hair softly. My hand automatically moved to her stomach.

Oh god! I hope it's true! Thank you so much.

I felt her stirring and groaned holding her head. My parents were sitting outside in the hall. Her eyes slowly opened and looked at me for a whole minute. Her eyebrows were furrowed and looked at me in confusion. After some time, her eyes turned into sour expression, and she sat up abruptly and held her head and whimpered.

I rushed to her sides, but she got up quickly and pushed past me to enter the bathroom. I followed her and found her throwing up. I quickly helped her by holding her hair, but my mind was so happy to confirm with another symptom of the pregnancy. She had the two most common symptom during pregnancy, which is fainting and vomiting.

She looked so weak, but she looked annoyed on seeing me as she slapped my hand and went back to sleep. My heart pained, but I deserve it for ignoring her all week. I watched her sleeping and laid next to her and caressed her stomach, knowing there are high chances for our baby to be there. I slept unknowingly and woke up with an empty bed. I found my parents hinting her about the pregnancy as they 90 per cent confirmed about her pregnancy with the symptoms.

I scolded them, but she ignored my presence completely and made her way back to her room, obeying her mother's word. But the second her yelp reached our ears, we all rushed to check her.

God! She needs to be more careful as she might be carrying our baby now.

I carried her back to her room. After making her comfortable, I got suddenly nervous as to how to start the topic. She snapped at me when I touched her, but I could see the hurt behind her anger. She calmed after her outburst as I could tell she regrets shouting at me. But she spoke first, and I ended up telling her what happened a week back.

But it made my anger to rise when she started speaking like that she doesn't want our baby and her studies are more important. We should have spoken about protection beforehand then. It was a complete surprise on my birthday night, and my mind never had time to think about consequences at that night. The next morning is completely another story as my vixen seduced me beyond my limit and got what she wanted. I promised to support her dreams but not at the cost of the life of our baby.

My rage made me crazy, and at one point, she yelled at me to shut me up. But the piece of information she said made me feel like a punctured balloon.

Damn it! I am so stupid.

I should have taken her to the hospital as soon as she fainted. I couldn't form any words as a disappointment, anger in my foolishness and reaction of our parents everything flashed in my mind. I looked at her with wide eyes.

Damn! She gonna kill me now. I basically over-reacted ignoring her words. But she never said about this pill thing. Yeah! There were a lot of things going on, and I behaved like a complete idiot. She didn't even get any time to tell that to me.

I pulled her onto my lap, making her straddle me. I buried my face onto her neck and hugged her tightly. I heard her sigh, but she hugged me back. Her soft body made me feel complete, and I don't need to worry about anything when I am with her. We stayed like that for a few minutes, and I pulled away first as I felt the wetness in my shoulder. I made her look at me, and my heart dropped on, seeing her crying silently.

"Hey darling, Why are you crying?"

 I asked in a low voice.

Her lower lip was quivering. Suddenly, a wave of anger engulfed her form as she pinched my bicep hard and started hitting me. I could guess the reason for her behaviour. But kept silent till her anger die down.

"I missed you too." 

 I hugged and whispered into her ear. She made her longingness so apparent. She visibly shivered when my lips grazed her earlobe but pulled away with a smug look.

"I didn't miss you! Why did you think I would miss you? I was so happy here without your bickering and torture."

 She said with a smirk.

But her big eyes already conveyed me the truth. I didn't say a word but cupped the back of her neck and pulled her hip with my other hand to smash my lips on hers. She smiled the whole time and responded hungrily while touching my chest and biceps, making goosebumps follow the trail of her fingers. We pulled away panting. Her touch has the power to ignite the fire inside me within seconds, and I feel so hot now.

"We need to go downstairs. Our parents are waiting and we need to speak with them."

 I said, looking at her, but she pulled my collar and joined our lips and let out a small moan. Such a tease! I groaned and responded to her with the same passion. We conveyed how we missed each other in that kiss.

"Do you remember I came home late on that rainy day? That day I went to the hospital to get pills. I planned to tell you after our consummation that I didn't want a baby yet; also we couldn't keep our hands off each other and I knew it's gonna happen soon. That's why I took precautionary steps."

 She stated. I hummed in response, rubbing her the sides of her hips as my body started to crave her more.

I shook my head and hopped down not trusting both of us as we need to face our family first, and I know if we stayed alone here anymore, we would end up in this room for hours. I circled my arm around her shoulder, and we made our way down.

Surprisingly, our parents didn't make any drama. They understood everything in a calm manner. As my athai would have already conveyed the news, and that made us escape the looks of disappointment and sadness in our parents' face. That night I showed her my love again and again until we were breathless and contented.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We decided to leave to Chennai that Sunday morning so we could resume our routine without much rush the next day. On the way, Janu seems deep in her thoughts. I waited for a few minutes then she looked at me unsure.

"Mama, I want to speak to you about Nandhini. I don't want you to judge her based on what I am telling. These are all just what I heard and seen. But I want you to know something that I knew as I don't want any secrets between us. Because we accepted our marriage and we started living our life together. So we need to respect our marriage and also we need to be honest with each other."

I blinked and nodded my head with a smile.

"Umm... Actually the moment, Vidhu and I got to know that Nandhini was the one chosen, we both voiced out our dislike for the alliance. Nandhini used to have different friends, particularly boys each year during our schooling. And we always spotted her so close with boys which we hate in that girl as a teenager.

But my amma stopped us telling us to not judge her, and she might have changed in all these years. We thought it's a valid point and also you asked time to get to know each other, which gave us relief that you would be able to decide what is best for the family.

Then we accidentally bumped into her on our way from Nungambakkam to the hostel in a cafe. That's when we found her with Sanjeev. They seemed too close for 'friends'.

You said that Vidhu told you about the things that happened at that party. I didn't want you to get hurt, but you seemed so much in love with her and... "

"Darling! For your information, I liked her. But there is no concept of love between us. I initially tried but it was so weird even to kiss her hand so I stopped myself from rushing into anything."

 I explained to her.

Why everyone thinks that I was in love with her?

At last, now she knew that she is my first love and last too. I looked at her happily at that thought. But seeing her glaring at me made me rethink what I said.

"Did I ask you whether you kissed her or not? No interruption! Or your cheek will kiss my knuckles."

 I smiled sheepishly masking my horrified self.

"Okay. Promise! No disturbance." 

 Her face flashed a small smile.

"We thought you were in love with her as you even forgot to pick up your parents because of her. I didn't know how to tell and to whom to tell as everyone was so drowned in her dramas. Because she behaved totally different with Vidhu and me. The usual way she was in our childhood; with so much hatred.

Then the day before marriage, Sanjeev came to pick me up to mandapam as Nandhini's thatha asked me to go there early. Sanjeev told me that he was in love with her and also he knew that we spotted him at that party. And he said being so close is so common between them, and he asked my help to save your life.

I was in such a dilemma as to what to do. Then I spoke with our grandpa. He told me that Nandhini had gone through a hard past and all she needs is a good family to take care of her, and also he made me realise that she is not completely evil.

Then, Sanjeev threatened me to help him when I said I want Nandhini to have a good life. But I showed him my martial art knowledge and put him in his place; that's what I initially thought.

I spoke with Nandhini that day and made peace between us. But I never thought Sanjeev would have a backup plan like that. And Sanjeev thanked me while taking Nandhini with him to make it look like I helped him all the time.

In the party, I made you leave as I didn't want you to see that nonsense which might break your heart. But I never thought her drink was spiked and he was taking advantage of her. Also, she didn't protest that day, but it looked like she was equally participating as him. That's the reason for me to jump into the conclusion that everything is happening with mutual consent. Nandhini believed everything Sanjeev said her and her anger on me might have increased tenfold. I know she will try to do something in my life.

It's exactly after a week later she met you after I met her mother as she was the gyno I consulted for birth control pills. I think she might have a different plan to avenge me, but my appa's surprise visit spoiled the original plan of hers. This is my assumption. But no more I will allow her to spoil my family life... if she has any intention like that. And I don't expect you to believe everything I said. Think about everything.

I understand her side and everyone deserves happiness. Now she is carrying Sanjeev's child. But she is not ready to forgive him as he broke her trust. Her mother sadly told me when I asked her about Nandhini that day. So if you want to help your friend, try to fix her relationship with Sanjeev."

 She finished her lengthy conversation and looked at me for my response.

I really don't know what to say. It's so hard to take in so much information. It seems like I missed a big side of Nandhini. I trust my vixen. Nandhini no more have any big part in my life. She would remain as my friend. But I still feel responsible for leaving her there. Now I think that there are chances of a relationship more than friendship between Sanjeev and Nandhini before the marriage. That's why Nandhini didn't protest while he took advantage of her, which made it look like she was willingly doing that to Janu and Vidhu. It would mean she cheated on me before marriage.

Damn!

"I honestly don't know what to reply. Let me think about it. And remember I trust you. I would have trusted you even if you have broken the truth that day after the party and things would have ended up differently. But everything has its flow and we can't stop it. And I wouldn't be married to a gorgeous demon like you."

 I said the last part to brighten our mood. But I earned a punch in my bicep as reply with her melodious laughter.

"Me! Demon?"

"Yes! See you are already hitting me! God! Why did you tie my innocent self to this lovely demon?"

 I asked dramatically.

She smirked and unfastened her seat belt and bent near my face. She licked my earlobe and traced her tongue over the exposed part of my neck and sucked exactly on my weak spots. All my playfulness jumped out of the window as my body started to heat up irrespective of the air conditioning running in its high level.

"Am I look like a demon?"

 She asked seductively while redoing her seat belt. I nodded my head negatively wondering how she can be so sexy in just a normal blue salwar. I want to do so many things to her.

You are making my life so beautiful just by being with me. I can't even imagine a life without you any more, my darling.

God! I love you so much, my dear vixen.

"I love you too, mama."

 I heard her say with a mischievous smile looking straight at the road. I hit the break reflexively and looked at her shocked. Then the realisation hit me. I should have said it aloud. And what shocked me most was her instant reply. I studied her face, and I could tell her heart is beating erratically, yet she is trying to keep her calm composure.

I scratched my head as I planned to make my proposal in a special way because I want to make it memorable. But this instance became so special as her confession is just enough to make any minute of my life the most valuable.

I quickly undid my seatbelt and cupped her cheeks. She is looking away shyly.

"What did you say?"

 Her cheeks were turning pink as she smiling so much and looking at me lovingly.

"I love you, my dear husband."

 It felt so foreign yet so good. I looked at pleadingly and asked once more. She buried her face in my chest and muttered "I love you, mama. I don't know how and when I started loving you. I always loved you as my cousin, but I am oblivious about when I started to develop my feelings for you as a husband.

But when you said that you love me, I had the urge to respond to you. And after those words slipped past my lips, I realised that I mean it."

Few tears escaped my eyes where my mouth is displaying the biggest grin as I hugged her tightly.

This is not a damn dream, Prabhu. Your vixen love you as much as you do!

"I love you, darling. I love you soooo much!"

 Words seemed stuck in my throat as I couldn't speak anything other than that, even the things I wanted to tell her when I was initially intended to tell these three words to her. But the silence seems filling everything I missed, and I showered her face with kisses. She stopped me and captured my lips with hers. I can't erase the smile off my face as I kissed her passionately. We pulled away to show some mercy to our burning lungs. She looked at me hungrily and licked her lips.

"Can you please drive little faster? I want to go home very soon because I. WANT. YOU."

 Her eyes scanned me hungrily, which triggered my excitement just like her words. I kissed her forehead, and I resumed driving.

As soon as our door clicked closed, our lips locked and moved in sync as our hunger for each other was at the verge of its peak. I immediately scooped up her and made my way to our bedroom. I slowly made her lie down. I pulled her shawl and started kissing her neck.

Soon our clothes hit the floor as we devoured each other body. She is so aroused as her nipples were poking out for my attention. I teased her by planting kisses over her cleavage, making her shiver in delight. Soon my finger descended to the treasured part. I parted her legs, and I ran my fingers over her slit.

She moaned in frustration as she gripped my hair and pulled me over her breast demanding me to give her what she needed. I smirked and teased her nipples with the tip of my tongue. Soon her impatient whimpers filled my ears. Her hand lowered, and she started stroking me. I gave in and sucked her nipples and entered a finger inside her at the same time. She arched her back and pushed herself more into me. I removed her hand down as her fast strokes would undo me in a few minutes.

I paused everything and hovered above her. She looked at me expectantly with her darkened eyes.

"I love you romba neraiya, Janu. (very much) I didn't know what stopped me from claiming you as mine all these years. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen other than our ammas. You honoured me by marrying me and giving me a chance to show my love to you. I promised you yet again, I will always cherish you all my life. You are the greatest blessing in my life. You are the smile to my face, the beat to my heart and the purpose of my life. I could never get a partner like you. I wouldn't trade you for anything in my life. Thank you very much for accepting me as your life partner, darling.

I fell in love with you long back. I didn't know exactly when.

Maybe from the second, your father gave your little form in my hand.

Or maybe when you smiled with your toothless mouth whenever you see me in my childhood.

Or maybe when you blushed on seeing me while you wore saree for the first time. It triggered my ego to more heights, you know. The reason for my mama's daughter's first blush is me! What would trigger a boy's pride more than seeing his effect on his secret crush?

When you got high marks to win our challenge to learn bike riding, I can't help but admire you more and fall for you more.

Your every courageous step made me respect you more. But I can't take a bold step as our family always came as a barricade in front of my vision. I convinced myself at some point in time to not think about you romantically. Yet it didn't stop my mind from flashing to you at times.

Now here you are! Like I always wished!

I love you, and I will love you till my death; if there is life after death, I will continue to love you forever."

Her face is displaying a beautiful smile. A lone tear rolled down the side of her eye. She kissed my lips sweetly and circled her arm around my waist and hugged me tightly. I managed to not crush her by balancing my weight in my elbows.

She continued her kisses to my jawline and neck while her fingers roamed over my body aimlessly but didn't fail to excite me more. I moved my face to capture her lips, kissed her fiercely. I rubbed my erection over her wetness over and over, making her moan repeatedly. I pulled away and looked into her eyes while I positioned myself against her entrance and slowly entered her halfway. She was just as tight as the first time, but she was completely enjoying with me this time while I entered her. I moved my hip and lowered my lips to her breast to suck on her exquisite skin.

She placed her hands over my biceps and tightened her grip with every thrust. My speed increased as she shouted incoherent words. I felt my release nearing so I pulled out against her protest and kissed her lips to shut her.

"Wanna try some other position?"

 I asked her with a wink.

She blushed instantly and bit her lip. I took her silence as a 'yes' and pulled her up and turned her body. She understood me and pressed her palm on the mattress and got on her knees. She was completely exposed to me as I couldn't help but kiss her beautiful lower lips. She lowered her face into the pillow as soon as my mouth made contact with her.

I used my fingers to make her reach her orgasm. Then I positioned myself behind her. This position gives me complete control over her, and I entered her completely in a thrust. I didn't give time for her complete that long moan, as started to thrust into her. I was going so deeper, and I know I couldn't last long with her gripping me tightly.

I rubbed her clitoris with my thumb while I bend down to lick her spine. She shivered as her inner walls painfully tightened around my length, and more wetness covered me. The sound of our skin slapping made it so animalistic where she let out a big moan on her next orgasm, her body lost control as her upper half collapsed on the bed. I held her hip firmly and rode her orgasm, which undid my release. I could feel my cock throbbing inside her while emptying myself into her. I stayed still till my excitement softened. I pulled out and watched our juices flowing on her thighs. I slowly let her hip go, and she laid on her side and looked at me contented. We cleaned up and laid on our sides, facing each other in the bed, and I kissed her swollen lips softly.

"I love you, Mama."

"I love you, darling."

My life never felt as perfect as in this instance.
