Chapter 26: 26. Her Love for Him
D''s PoV
After helping Chinna anna in cooking lunch, I came to my favorite spot in this house - The Swing.
Shekar uncle said he wille for lunch regrly from now. How sweet of him right!? I am now surfing
through some songs that will tell him how much I love him and how I feel about him. I''m folding his
clothes and mine. I have to ask Ravi about the ironing board and iron box. His shirts are to be ironed. I
also thought of some songs like ''mudhar kanave'' (my first dream) from Majnu(a tamil movie) just to
kindle my memories in his goddamn mind.
How did I recognise him and he did not?! Shithead!
D, think with your mind. He is your first crush. He saw you in his 12th standard. Which means you may
not be his first crush. You remember him because he made butterflies when you hit your puberty. He is
special to you. But why should you be the same to him?
Can''t you take up my side for at least an instance? You always say things which make me question my
decision of marrying him. What the hell were you doing when I decided to marry him, idiot?
I tried to tell you. But you shut me out, D. You were behaving like a love-struck puppy and he had the
bone.
You are so not my mind. Get lost Mindy. I chased Mindy away, she is no good use to me.
Something tells me that he is going toe for lunch. I am still in my pjs. I haven''t bathed yet. This
folding can wait. I don’t wanna get embarrassed again for not bathing if hees for lunch now.When I
come after bathing it''s 1.30pm already. Perfect time for lunch. But no one is home yet. Ravi too went
out to meet his friends.
I sat on the swing and resumed my song search while folding the clothes. I so wanted to see him now.
He is so manly and handsome. I love him. No words can convey my love for him.
Why don’t you write a love poem for your hubby, D!? It will be romantic.
You want me to write a love letter? Are you nuts? We are married dumbhead!
So what, D? You love him, right?
Mmmmmm? yes, I do! But I''m not good at writing poems. I will think about it though!
I looked at his blue shirt. He looked god damn hot in this outfit. His strong arms are on disy, God, he
is killing me with his looks. I took his T-shirt and wore it on my salwar. I yed my favorite serial title
song on my phone and started listening to it, hugging myself. I mean hugging his T-shirt!
I started singing along. It’s the most lovable melody I have ever heard.
"Um koi poguthada....
Un arugil, Un siripil....
Ennai Marandhen naanada....."(I lost my heart when I am near you, I forget myself in your smiles)

I finished all my pending work. I got an order to my boutique for a bridal lehenga. I have to find the right
design, color, cloth, pattern and design it. I have 2months left though. I usually don’t take anyst-
minute orders. I make all unique designs for my boutique.
She is so distracting. I keep seeing her face when I close my eyes to imagine a creative design. I made
a note to make a special outfit for her. All unique and beautiful. I tried hard to concentrate on the
design. Nope! Not happening. I can’t design if I''m this distracted.
Dad said he is going for lunch at home every day, starting today. Why don’t I go too? Like, I can see
her. Maybe then I can concentrate on my work!?
When I got home, I heard music from upstairs. I climbed 2 steps on a go and reached at the top to see
her sitting on the swing wearing my T-shirt hugging it. She was singing the song along until she saw me
and when she saw me, she froze. She is so gorgeous wearing my shirt.
The song goes on and we lock our eyes with each other. I have never heard this song before. I don’t
know which movie it is from. But the song is beautiful. It feels like she is singing it to me! Never in my
life have I ever listened to the lyrics of a song like I do now. The lyrics are heart melting.
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
We broke our trance when the song got over. She is still sitting on the swing looking at me in the eye
while I started walking towards her.
"Akka(big sister)! You said we can dance if I finish my lunch. Just call mommy and ask. I finished it
completely." Roshan, our neighbor kid, ran past me to her.
God! How did hee in? I backed off while she picked and sat Roshan up on the swing. She is all
shy to look at me now. What am I doing here standing? Why is everyone interrupting me!? Shit!
"We sure can dance, Shan. I haven''t eaten yet. Uncle here hasn''t eaten, too. Can you bring your
painting book and do painting until we are done?" she asked him,pletely ignoring my presence.
"ok akka!"
Roshan ran off. But now I feel weird going near her. I could see her wait for me to make a move but
that moment was gone. With so much to talk between us, I felt it so wrong to surrender to the body
demands.
"Kanna! I''m home already! Shall we eat?" my dad called from down the stairs.
See, I told you. Everyone in this house has taken an oath to spoil our moment. Even this stupid of my
wife spoiled our momentst night.
"Coming mama!" She shouted and took my T-shirt off and ran past me without even looking at me.
So much for leaving my work anding here. I didn''t even get to talk alone with her. I went down too,
to have lunch. Dad had this unbelievable look on me. He must be thinking why the hell am I here at this
hour?!
Thanks foring at the right time dad!
Now he is smirking at me? Seriously, dad? God, what is with everyone?
Not once is this girl looking at me. She served us the first serving and sat along with us. Ravi is not
home yet. Chinna smiled at me when I went to wash my hands. They all know why Am I here for
lunch?
At Least they can pretend to not know. It''s so embarrassing!
The song is still ying in my mind. She sure loves to hear songs. Using too much phone is not good
for her and our environment. I thought of gifting her with an I-pod. That way she can hear songs without
the inte and phone.
She is beautiful. Everything she does tells me that she is losing it in me just like I’m losing it in her. Her
behavior tells me that she is not a bit sad in this marriage. But I don’t really know her intentions though.
I still am not putting my trust in her. I am not going to be fooled around another time by a girl. I drove off
to my office to resume my work. At least I got to see her.

I''m so happy today. Just like my heart said he came for lunch. I know he came to see me, to spend
some time with me.
D! You guys are in the perfect wavelength. Right time to tell him your past. Finish all the loose ends
and start a happy life with him, Mindy told me.
You know what? You are right. I will talk to him when hees home. After I''m done exining I
should ask him to take me on a honeymoon. We can’t have alone time until we are here.
I mean even today we got interrupted first by Shan and next by uncle. Hehe, I mean I like them both
but they did interrupt our time together. That longing in his eyes for me, that ispletely true from his
heart. I can understand his inhibitions with me, I mean I am a stranger to him and I married him when
he refused to. He thinks I am selfish and all absurd things because he is just confused on where to put
his trust in. I must earn his trust because it is me who barged into his life.
My sister Dakshu called me. She finished her second year inputer science engineering. She is on
her vacation too just like Ravi. She got an internship here in Coimbatore at "Firm Fort constructions" to
train on cad software that helps in designing the building.
Yeah, dad allowed her because it''s in Coimbatore and Shanu is already here and we have our
grandparents’ ce for her to stay. It''s a one and a half month internship. And yes, that''s Rishi''s
friend''s office. It gets all boring at home for me after everyone leaves and I don''t really have any work
besides cooking here. I can ask Rishi if I can go with my sis to her workce. I mean it''s his friend''s
ce after all and he can help me get a job there. I''m an IT graduate, remember!?
Also, Aakash anna(brother) called me up to say he, anni(sister-inw) and Shanu areing here this
weekend to see us. If possible, we can go to an exhibition at VOC park. I love rides and to buy all small
items like hair clips, nail polish etc., there in the exhibition.
I also like those big appms(fry yums) and chilli fritters! Also, sugarcane juice! Also,cotton candy!
Also, cauliflower chilli! Yeah, I love food!
My friend Rahul called me in the evening and we had a long talk. He is a funny nice guy. He was all
mocking me for my love story and recalling all college memories. He is a stupid too. He had this
audacity to tell me that I fooled my dad and got married to Rishi. He said if at all my dad had known
that I love Rishi then he would have not allowed me to marry him. Now thinking back, I think my dad
would have said ok if I was in love with someone from the samemunity as I was. But then that is
not love if you ask someone theirmunity, that would be ‘nning’ and love doesn''te nned.
It''s a beautiful day. I can''t wait for Rishi toe home. I made egg puffs for the evening snack. Yeah,
I''m good at following YouTube for snack recipes. I started waiting for him because whenever I think of
him, my heart just elevates to another level of happiness all together. I Love Him with all my heart. I
Love His looks on me. I Love His touches, that makes me crave for him more. I Love Him for how he
treats me. Like who will treat a girl good, who came into a man''s life without his permission? He does.
He is My Man. I should talk to him tonight.
