Awaited First Night

Arshad's jaw dropped, seeing Aanandhi hiding behind the curtain. She looked so cute like that. He folded his hands over his chest and stood there until she opened her eyes. Aanandhi slowly opened her left eye. She stood in an “attention” pose, seeing Arshad looking at her. Arshad: What are you doing there? Come out. Aanandhi nodded no. Arshad: Are you going to stand there for the whole night? Aanandhi started crying. Arshad: Hey, why are you crying? Come out first. Aanandhi (weeping): I won’t come. Arshad: But why? Aanandhi: You will BAD TOUCH me. Arshad(frowning): Whaaaat!!! Aanandhi(sniffing): Bad touch. Arshad: Why should I badly touch you? Aanandhi: Because you are my husband. Arshad(raising his eyebrows) : Ohhh. “Husband” will do bad touch? Aanandhi nodded yes. Arshad: I don’t have much knowledge like you do. I don’t know about BAD TOUCH." He said, controlling his laugh. Aanandhi (sniffing): At which school did you study? Did they not teach you these things? Arshad: Actually, I completed my “NURSERY” education long ago, before our country started facing this problem. So I have missed these things. He said sadly. Aanandhi(seriously): Ohhh. Arshad: Ok. I won’t badly touch you. Come out. Aanandhi(with disbelief): Won’t you really touch me badly? Arshad(nodded yes): I won’t. Aanandhi: God promise? Arshad: I don't believe in God. Aanandhi (shocked): What!!!! How could anyone not believe in God? Arshad: I’m like that. Aanandhi: Then how could you be a loyal man? Arshad(raising his brows): Means? Aanandhi: you will not do bad things only if you think that God is watching your actions. Arshad: I’m loyal to myself, no matter whether your God is watching me or not. Aanandhi was gazing at him with disbelief. Arshad: I do not believe in God. It doesn’t mean you should look at me like I’m a Ghost. Aanandhi(murmuring): Hey god, with whom have you bonded me? Arshad(teasingly): You mean, Your god made a mistake by bonding with us? Aanandhi was stuck. She said stammering. Aanandhi: God won’t make a mistake. His every action is reasonable. Arshad: Good. Now come out. Trust me, I won’t touch you. Aanandhi came outside the curtain hesitatingly. Aanandhi: One minute. Arshad stopped and looked at her. She bent down and touched his feet. Arshad(jerking): What the…. What are you doing, damn it? Aanandhi: My name is not “damn it”. Arshad: I know, it’s Aanandhi damn it. Aanandhi: Not “Aanandhi damn it”. It’s “Aanandhi Kumari Solanki”. Arshad(rolling his eyes): madam… Aanandhi Kumari Solanki…. What did you do? Aanandhi: Mom said, I should respect my husband. So, I take your blessings. Arshad: You don’t need to do it. OK? Aanandhi: But Mommy said… Arshad: You should respect me, right? She nodded yes. Arshad: That means you should obey my words, right? She nodded yes. Arshad: Then stop doing that. OK? (she again nodded OK) Now tell me, am I allowed to sleep in this room? Aanandhi: Then? Mom will scold me if she gets to know that I sent you out. Arshad(murmuring): Thank God. Aanandhi: I will sleep on the floor. Arshad: Whaat! On the floor? Aanandhi: How could I sleep with you in bed? She said, looking down. Arshad: OK you sleep on the bed. I will take the coach. Ok? Aanandhi: but your back will ache. Arshad: I’m habitude to it. He lied. Aanandhi: Really? (he nodded yes) then ok. She looked relieved. Arshad: ok. Go and change your dress. She nodded and went to the washroom. When she came out changing, Arshad was lying on the couch after changing. She went to bed and lied. Arshad: Can I ask you something? Aanandhi: what?. Arshad: Will you explain what’s meant by GOOD TOUCH and BAD TOUCH? He asked intentionally to know her exact stance on that matter. Aanandhi sat on the bed. Arshad: No one had taught me that lesson. Will you? Aanandhi: Don’t you really know about it? She asked, feeling sad. Arshad nodded NO folding his lips. Aanandhi(sitting straight): Good touch is a touch that we agree with, that makes us feel happy and safe. Good touches feel nice, warm, and protective. It’s like family and close friends giving to show friendship and affection. Arshad: Ohh that’s great. Can you give me some examples? He purposely asked her. Aanandhi: Like a handshake, a pat on the back, holding hands, a simple hug when you feel close to someone and a good night kiss from mom and dad. Arshad: Ohh, that means you won’t feel bad with those touches? Aanandhi: I won’t feel bad with my closed ones. She stressed. Arshad(murmuring): So smart. Aanandhi: What? Arshad: Nothing. Tell me about bad touch. Aanandhi: It is a bad touch if a person touches us in a way that makes us feel uncomfortable, scared and nervous. Arshad(in mind): Seems like she is so clear in this matter. Aanandhi: one important thing, you should not close my mouth. Arshad(raising his eyebrows): That’s also a bad touch? Aanandhi: Then? Will anyone do that with good intention? Arshad: You are a genius. Yes, no one will do that with good intentions. Aanandhi(hesitatingly): you will not BAD touch me, right? Arshad: I won’t. I won’t make you feel uncomfortable, but only until you badly touch me or feel comfortable with my touch. Aanandhi: Why should I badly touch you? She asked with a cute angry pout. Arshad: Then why should ”I” (he stressed) badly touch you? Aanandhi: because you are my husband. Arshad: Like the same, you are my wife. You, too, can touch me, right? Aanandhi(looking at somewhere): I won’t touch you. Arshad(smiling): we will see that later. But remember… I won’t badly touch you until you badly touch me and you feel comfortable with me. Aanandhi(murmuring): Why should I touch him? She lied down covering herself with the quilt. Arshad smirked, closing his eyes to get some sleep. But Aanandhi couldn’t sleep easily because she didn’t believe that Arshad wouldn’t touch her as he said. She woke up from her sleep often jerking and checked whether he was still sleeping on the couch. She was relieved to see him sleeping on the couch. Seemed like he was not that BAD as she thought. After 2 am, Aanandhi couldn’t resist herself from sleeping. Arshad slowly opened his eyes and saw her snoring softly. He came and sat beside her smiling. Such a cute package she is. See how she is sleeping with a slightly opened mouth. Seems like he will never get enough of her cuteness. He tucked her hair strand lovingly, which was falling on her forehead. Arshad: Mrs. Arshad Sinha Raut… What a lesson you taught me today… Good touch and bad touch. Thank God… you didn’t run from this room nor did you push me out of the room. How childish you are. You are thinking that if you sleep on the floor then I can’t touch you. (he chuckled) Threeeee years…. God Damn…. But why do I think it won’t take that much longer to win you? Do you know, I’m badly falling for you every second? I Love you, my dear baby wife. He bent down and kissed her forehead. First kiss on their first night. As Arshad said, will she badly touch him before he does? Will she feel comfortable with his touch? Let’s see. What is stored for their future?
