Vardhan pov-

I was patting Amu to sleep and Sandhya was doing her night routine.
She came and laid on the bed maintaining some distance between us and I just wanted to laugh at her antics .

I know I shouldn't have shouted at her but I got really angry seeing Amu crying and her wounded foot .
She should have been careful as I trust her the most with Amu even more than my parents and Vihaan ..

Never for once have I doubted her regarding Amu . I know she loves her more than anything.

She apologized to me and was now waiting for my apology. But I won't give in this easily.
I laid Amu in between us and turned to her .
Sandhya...I called her and she immediately looked up.
After everything that happened today ....I am really....she looked at me expectantly as I said this....

Tired . So just switch off the lights ..I said and she huffed showing her anger on the switch board.

Suno.....I called her again .
Ji....She asked .
I have an important meeting tomorrow so wake me up by 7 am ...I said and she growned.

Is that all ya aapko kuch or bhi kehna hai ...she asked .
No , good night...I wished her and she covered herself with blanket without even replying to me .

******
Vardhan get up ...it's 7:15 already...she shook me and I groaned and rubbed my eyes finally waking up .

Where is Amu ....I asked not finding Amu beside me .
She is with Papa ....She informed and I nodded .

I was combing my hair while she was sitting on the couch glaring at my back ..
Where is my tie ...I asked and she walked to the closet and came with my tie .
Make me wear it .....I said she sighed and came towards me .
Bent down ...she asked but I acted like I didn't hear her .
She pulled at my collar making me bend a bit making me chuckle .

I wrapped my hand around her waist while she completely focused on making me wear the tie .
Kya hua subh subh ye baasi muh lekar ku ghum Rahi ho ...I teased her and she glared at me in return.

Kisi ne kuch kaha meri biwi ko.....I asked trying to hide my smile.
Nahi kehne k liye aap hai na or kisi ki kya zaroorat...She taunted me .
Haan ....ye bhi sahi hai ....I said and she punched on my arm making me laugh .

She started crying and I pulled her in my arm but she started pushing me again.
Humesha mujhe rulate rehte hai ...kal bhi kitna gussa Kiya ....merko pata hai kitna dar lag raha tha aapse .....She complaint sobbing on my chest .

I am sorry Biwi...I said pecking her nose.
Kya bol rahe the aap.....pack the bags ...we are leaving.....why would you say that ....She asked .
Gusse mei bol diya tha....I said wiping her tears .
Mujhe hurt Kiya hai aapne.....she pouted .
Sorry bol to Raha hu uske liye ....I said cupping her face and pecked her lips .

No sorry is not enough....she said and I smiled.
Acha tu bata kya karu ....I asked and she thought for a few minutes but then pouted.
Abhi mujhe kuch samjh nahi aa Raha ...Raat tak soch k batati hu ..she said making me chuckle.

As my wife wishes....I said pecking her lips again and she smiled.
By the way aaj tumhari favourite Bua ji aa rahi hai ....I said and she laughed .

I know and Pata nahi vo kese react karegi mujhe dekh k ...she really makes me uncomfortable at times ...She said.
Unki ticket cancel karwa du aap kahe to ....I asked wearing my coat and she chuckled shaking her head in No .

Don't think much about her . Tum bas Amu ka aur khud ka dhyan rakho . And ab to aap hai yaha ki maalkin....vo hai aapki guest ....so do as you please.....I said and she laughed.

I love you ....she said snuggling into me and I wrapped my arms around her .
What I need to say in return....I whispered in her ear making her chuckle.
Anything you want ..she said looking at me .
Is it ....I asked and she nodded with a smile.
My Dear wife ....I said cupping her face and she closed her eyes .
I am getting late ...I said and she slapped on my chest opening her eyes.

You only said Anything....I said with a laugh while she looked away with a huff .
Bye....I kissed her cheek and left taking my bag .

I never knew I would do such things for a woman.
But she successful paved her way to my heart and I would be lying if I say that I don't love her .
I do ...and she knows that but Still wants me to be verbal about it .
And...my wife gets what she wishes. I have planned a surprise for her ... although I gave her a hint today but my innocent wife didn't get it .

What I like most about her intact love about her is she is innocent...she can't hide her emotions.... what she feels get reflected on her face .
I love her but more then that I respect her for being the women she is .

There are few things too  that I don't like about her .... her tears and I swear ....she is absolutely a cry baby...she would cry at every other occasions.
If I make a mistake....she would cry
If she makes a mistake...she would cry .....
If she is happy , sad , nervous... anything....her water works start .

And that women take due advantage of me knowing that I don't like her tears .
She use this to get things done from me .

Earlier I used to be adamant about things. If I said No .....I wouldn't change it for anyone or anything.
But now ......If I say No ....she would get it changed to yes somehow.

I was not a sorry person earlier but now It's has become a word that I use frequently and generously.
Some time she even requests me to say sorry to her ....I know it's not common but she does that.

Rahul Is everything as per plan ...I asked and he nodded.
I don't want any mistakes ....I warned him .
Rest assured Sir, I have taken care of everything...he said and I just nodded .

We have actually planned to collaborate with locals here so that we can collectively make profit and could generate employment too.
All the staff and chef will be from the native place only .

We have kept all the Indian dishes in the menu . No other cuisines will be served here . The special focus has been given to the dishes that are the speciality of Himachal.

Traditional dance group and other artists have been hired to showcase their talent and perform for the entertainment of the guest in the hotel .

I have signed the deal with the government to rebuilt the road providing better connectivity to the visitors and locals too .

An exhibition of handicrafts items and other locally produced items will be also there in the hotel from time to time ...it was suggested by the marketing team to grab more attention and I liked the idea .

It was late evening when I came back to the hotel.
Shrishti was playing with Amu in the balcony of the lounge  and I noticed Vihaan looking at her with a smile sitting in the garden .
It's not the first time that I have caught him gazing at Shrishti like this but I guess I need to talk to him about it .

I cleared my throat and he looked at me flabbergasted getting caught all of a sudden.
Kya ho raha hai....I asked patting his shoulder.
Nothing Bhai ....I was just looking at Amu ....he said not meeting my eyes and I smacked his head making him groan .
What is it ??? I asked seriously this time and he pouted at me .

Promise me maaro ge nahi ...he asked and I nodded .
I want to marry Shrishti...he confessed and I was shocked.
I was expecting something he would say he likes her or something else but he directly jumped to marriage.... afterall he is my brother..... straight to the point.

Are you sure ...I asked and he nodded .
Shall I talk to Vinod uncle then....I asked and he grinned like a fool before hugging me tightly.
I love you Bhai...he said and I chuckled patting his back .

But don't stare her openly....I said and he nodded scratching his neck .
I met Vikram in the corridor who was about to kiss Akshita.

Abey aeee dur reh usse ...I said and Akshita pushed him away listening to my voice and he fell down on his bum .
Akshita left from there or more like ran away while the he threw a glare at me .

Just because she is your sister doesn't mean you will become a haddi in my romance....he said getting up and I punched him lightly on his stomach.

Abey saale Jaan lega kya ....he said holding his stomach dramatically and I just glared at him .
Kya ....now you are my official Saala ...I have the right to call you that ....He said grinning at me and I just shook my head .

Sab log aa gye ....I Inquired and he nodded walking beside me .
I greeted Vikram parents, Bua and Phupha ji and few other friends of my father .
Everyone was present here enjoying evening snacks.

Daddyyyy ....Amu squeled in Shrishti's arm asking her to put her down .
I smiled and walked towards them and she jumped in my arms instantly.
Shrishti chuckled looking at her and left patting her cheek.

I looked around but Sandhya was not present here .
Where is Mumma Amu ....I asked Amu kissing her cheek .
Mummaa....She asked me and I nodded.
Mumma go to Dadiiii.....She said and I kissed  all over her  face seeing her cuteness.

I came to the room with Amu and ordered a coffee and Milk for Amu .
I laid on the bed with Amu on my chest .
She was blabbering something pulling my nose or patting my cheek while I just nodded agreeing to whatever she was saying.

I could understand few things....like she was talking about the balloon decoration that is being done and flowers.
She even told me mumma has asked her not to touch the bandage .....

Amu what is tomorrow...I asked her and she grinned showing her teeths .
Bday....Amu is Theeeee........she told me pointing to herself and I laughed kissing her palm .

My Amu is very smart ...I said and she nodded as if she already knew it .
Gud grl .....She said and I nodded while chuckling.
What Amu want as a gift .....I asked and she looked at me with her eyes gleaming with the name of gift .
Gifffff ....I wann....she said getting excited and I nodded .

I will give you many gifts tomorrow okay ...I said and she nodded .
Tennnn....she asked showing all her fingers and I laughed again and hugged her to my chest .

I love you my  Amu.....I said cuddling her .
Luv youuu Daddyyyyy....she replied back kissing my chin and I smiled wholeheartedly.

I became a bit emotional and tears formed in my eyes ....
Amu looked at my face and her lower lip wobbled and before I could understand she started crying 😭 clinging to me .

Sandhya entered the room at the same time and asked .
What happened....why is Amu crying.....

I patted Amu's back wiping the corner of my eyes .
I don't know she started crying all of a sudden.
I calmed her down while Sandhya sat beside me and wiped her cheek.
Why is my baby crying....she asked Amu.

Daddy cryyy....Amu said hiding her face in my chest and Sandhya looked at me.
Aap roo rahe the .....She asked looking into my eyes and I shook my head .
No ...I am not a cry baby like you ...I said and she sighed shaking her head .

To phir Amu ku bol rahi hai ....she is crying because she saw you crying.... She stated .
Arreee I just got little emotional nothing else ....mujhe kya pata tha Amu rone lag jaayegi .....I said kissing Amu's forhead and she smiled.

It's ok to let out emotions sometimes....She said hugging me and Amu .

Only sometimes...I teased her as she cries everytime and she laughed kissing my cheek .
