Healing Souls

Taking Out

Authors Note:

Sorry guys for late update. I am busy this week. I will try to update two times a week. Please bear with me. And sorry for any grammatical mistakes.

Nikshitra's Pov:

Today I want to go out but how do I ask him? I am feeling suffocated being in this house. I have not gone outside since my marriage. I have recovered now. My wounds have healed. Ayush is taking care of me nicely. He does whatever I ask him.

This week he carried me and fed me. He took care of me like a baby. Whenever I smile I notice a spark in his eyes. Nowadays I talk to him freely without being afraid. He totally changed and I started to trust him more.

"Ayush, Are you free today?" I asked him nervously, biting my lip. I don't know what he will say. But I want to go outside of this house. As I asked he glanced up from his laptop while he was working sitting on his bed. He stared at me, questioning what I wanted.

"Why? What do you want?" He questioned blankly shifting his gaze to the laptop as it was the most important thing in the world. I got angry seeing his neglecting behaviour. I glared at him, keeping both hands on my hips.

"Ayuuushhhhh, Listen to me while I am speaking." I shouted at him and he swiftly turned towards me listening to my shouting. He glared back at me but I paid no attention to it. I don't fear him now. What will he do? He can do nothing if I threaten him that I will sleep in another room. Day before yesterday I threatened him and he obeyed me easily without any arguments as he couldn't sleep without cuddling me.

"What do you want, Nikshu? I am busy now. I have so much work pending. Speak fast. I don't have all the time for you. I am not free like you." I was hurt while he spoke like that. I was not important to him. I know he dont have all the time for me. I understand but how can he speak harshly to me? He spoke like I am a burden to him. My tears started to fall as I was deeply hurt. He got up from the bed and strode fast towards me seeing my tears.

"I am sorry Nikshu. I am sorry. Please forgive me." He hugged me tightly without letting me go as I wriggled in his hold while he apologised to me. I got out of his hold by pushing him with my hands on his chest.

"I am sorry that I disturbed you. I know that you don't have all the time for me. I can understand that you are tired from office work. I know I am not important to you. You can have your time with your laptop. Once again I am sorry for disturbing you while you were doing your important work." I wiped my tears from my eyes and walked away from our room. I know I should not have spoken like that but I am angry that he is not spending time with me. I stomped my feet after entering the kitchen. I will cook my food and watch some series.

I decided I will not talk to him. I can also work. But I don't want to work as of now. I want to spend time with myself. I want to take a break. I can work in any office with my qualifications. I will start to apply for a job tomorrow. What does he think of me? That I am a freeloader. No, I will prove to him that I can also work.

"Nikshu...Please I am sorry na.. please forgive me." He back hugged me keeping his hands on my bare waist and face on my shoulder. With his one hand he is drawing circles with his fingers on my bare waist. I was ticklish so I started to wriggle but he held me tightly with his other hand. I moved away as I couldn't control my giggle. I have to be angry I thought but he knows that I am ticklish whenever he touches my sides. So he slowly started tickling on one side of waist. As I was wearing silk saree I can feel his fingers on my body. I giggled continuously while he tickled my sides without stopping. He laughed with me while I was leaning backwards towards him holding his both hands to stop this torture. But he did not stopped till I laughed heartily with him.

When I was out of breath he stopped tickling and turned my body facing towards him staring continuously smiling at me.

"Please don't be angry. I will do whatever you want. I swear. You are very important to me. I was busy at that time and you came when I was angry. So I spoke nonsense to you." He pinched his neck with his thumb finger and forefinger. He was looking so cute and I forgave him as he apologised 3 times.

"Ok I forgive you. I want to go out with you today. I am feeling suffocated living in these four walls. So I want to ask you, can we go out?" I smiled, keeping my both hands on his shoulders and his hands on my waist. Our bodies were close and there was no gap between us.

"Ok, Where do you want to go?" He asked me then I grinned. He was suspicious looking at my smile. I grabbed his hand and went to our room with him.

"Change your clothes. I will wait for you in the living room." I ordered him, he was looking surprised but he obeyed me. He came after five minutes wearing blue jeans and white shirt looking hot and handsome. My mouth hung open while he was descending like a model rolling his sleeves. He came face to face with me and raised his eyebrows asking me 'what'. I shake my head as if nothing.

He intertwined our hands and grabbed the car keys but I took the keys from his hand.

"What are you doing? Give the keys to me." He glared at me while I hid the keys in my hand and held it backwards.

"Today we will not go in the car. We will use public transport." I said staring directly with an unwavering gaze. He was angry. I can see that. But I will not listen to him today.

"What? Are you mad? Give me the keys first. We cannot go on public transport. What will people think about me? And the media will not leave me if they see me in public transport with you." He said to me glaring back. But I will not back down.

"You said you will do whatever I want. So I want to go by bus. You will come with me. No one will notice you if you wear a cap. You are not a celebrity as you are feeling." I said casually and lightly and he opened his mouth wide listening to me. It doesn't matter to me. I want to enjoy myself freely today.

"Ok give me one minute. You won't listen to me. What I am doing because of your craziness. If I am in news tomorrow, I will not spare you." He threatened me but I did not care. He ascended the stairs leaving me alone in the living room. He came wearing a cap and goggles looking like a hot model leaving his top buttons open. I want to kiss him then and there. I want to see his naked chest.

"Close your mouth and come fast." I followed him after waking up from my dreamland. He was walking fast towards the main gate. I can't match his steps.

"Ayush. Wait." I called from back running towards him. He turned back, keeping his both hands in his pockets watching me running.

"Ok now there will be no bus from here directly. What do you want to do now?" He questioned me and I was out of breath while running. I held my one hand towards him and caught my breath first.

"We wi.. will go in auto from here to the bus stop. Then we will board the bus." I said to him like I am an intelligent one here.

We booked an auto from uber. I was feeling fresh air watching the trees surrounding us. He sat beside me without even uttering a word. So I turned towards him to talk to him.

"Ayush. Are you uncomfortable?" I asked nervously as I don't know what he is feeling.

"No.. I am good Nikki. I am comfortable. No need to worry about me. You enjoy it." He spoke smiling to me holding my one hand with his.

After some time we got down in front of the bus stand. It was not crowded as it is the weekend today. He paid for the auto and was standing in the bus stop. We were waiting for the bus. After five minutes one bus came. I want to go anywhere where the bus takes me. We boarded the bus.

All were looking at him as he came from a different planet. He was looking uncomfortable. We took our seats and I sat near the window. Most seats were empty as it is sunday. Only a few people were there in the bus. He sat beside me and held my hand tightly as if he was scared.

"What happened? If you want we will get down now." I said to him as I could see he was more uncomfortable. His face looks like he is scared. So I held his hand between my both hands and kept in my lap.

"No..No..Nothing. When I was in school. We used to go daily in the bus only. We were poor when we were small. I know how I felt when I used to travel in bus. It was good going with friends and walking with them to school and coming to house." He told about his past and I genuinely smiled listening to him. But I want to ask why he is telling 'We'. As I know he doesn't have any siblings. I think he is talking about Sameer.

"I have travelled by bus my whole life. We can't afford a school bus so I used to travel by bus while going to school and college. My dad used to go to the office so I got into the habit of travelling in public transport. I used to enjoy it with my friends. We used to eat panipuri while coming home." I told how I also used to travel by bus. He was listening to me attentively. Some people were glancing curiously as he was wearing a cap. Some girls were taking photos of him as they recognised him. But he didn't care about that as he noticed. He was only looking at me, smiling towards me. I turned to the other side as blush was forming on my cheeks. As I looked outside the window I saw a multiplex.

"Movie." I shouted and held his hand then we both got down there after paying the fare. He looked shocked at first but he regained his posture and came with me. Ayush wore his goggles as some girls were ogling him. He held my hand and we both walked towards the ticket booth.

"Which movie do you want to watch?" He asked me and I checked all the movies which were available.

"Lovestory." I said to him and he took the tickets standing in the queue. I was mesmerised that he is doing all these things for me.

He came and we both went to the cinema hall taking popcorn and coke with us. We both sat in our respective seats. He booked the corner seats. I was grinning and was feeling very happy. It is my first movie with Ayush.

"Are you comfortable?" He asked me politely and I was smiling to myself how he was caring about me so much.

"I am fine. Are you ok?" I asked him and he nodded. Through half way of film we were holding our hands together. Afterwards he kept his one hand on my shoulder and put my head on his shoulder. I leaned towards him. It was my wish to watch a movie with my husband hugging him. It came true. We ate popcorn and saw the film asking a few questions in the middle about the film. We came out after the film ended. It was a good film. We enjoyed it very much.

"I am hungry. I want to eat chinese." I demanded Ayush and he pouted looking at me.

"Come I will take you to a good resta..." He said but I interrupted him.

"No, we will eat street food not in some hifi restaurant. All will recognise you there. I want to eat noodles on the street." I pouted and made a cute face asking him.

He obeyed me silently without arguing as he knows I will win the argument. We took an auto from there to a Chinese stall.

I ordered spicy noodles and manchurian. I devoured like an hungry animal. He was watching me amazingly as he did not watch any girl eat like that. He also ate noodles but it was very spicy so he wasn't able to handle the spiciness, water started flowing from his eyes. He drank two glasses of water and opened his mouth gasping for air. I felt sorry for him and bought a dairy milk from a nearby shop and gave it to him. He ate it fast.

After some time he became normal and ordered less spicy fried rice for him. We ate ice cream while returning to our house. I took two double chocolate cornettos and he took butterscotch ice cream. I was licking my ice cream without caring about anyone. He was watching me continuously while I was eating my ice cream.

"What?" I asked him but he replied nothing. I was in my world of ice cream without caring and walking on the road. He was walking beside me staring and eating his ice cream from time to time.

"You live to eat. I understood one thing about you is you don't care about anyone while you and your food is in front of you. You will forget the world when your favourite food is in front of you. I don't know where the food goes in your body as you are always slim." He spoke smiling and I glared at him as he said I am a foodie. But it is a fact that I love food. I don't diet how much I eat. How much I eat I cant get fat as my body type is slim.

We went home in the auto as it was evening. We enjoyed it a lot and I am feeling happy after so many days.

"I am very tired." As we entered the house I sat on the sofa leaning my head on the head rest closing my eyes.

"Sleep now. I have some work . I will complete it in the study and don't disturb me till then. Ok?" He said and went away.

"Ok Sir." I saluted him and lied down on the sofa closing my eyes feeling tired.
