The Rockstar and The Accountant

Chapter 3

I changed into those clothes and the jewellery. Honestly, I don’t think Mom would gift me this. Because Mom is so Modern and always demands me to wear something western. But currently I got ready in a Kanchipuram silk saree. Anyways, I will talk to Mom later about this. First thing first is, I need to get done with this photo thing. How much I adore my husband, he never likes me for a reason, which I am not aware of.

When I stepped into my room, he is checking out something on the wall full of family pictures. He turned around because of the jingling sound of my anklets. The look on his face is so passionate and very foreign to me. I haven’t seen him looking at me like this ever and I am hell nervous because of this.

I had to shake him to make him aware about the situation, god knows what he is thinking about!

Suhas: “Huh-uh.. So, what I was telling is, lets get done with this photo business and we both can retire to our beds”

I just nodded at him.

He opened his phone and switched on the front camera. Did I forget telling you, he is 6 ft in height and whereas I am just 5’4. We have a lot of height difference but isn’t that cute?

So for obvious reasons, he bent slightly so that both of us will be clicked fully. He made some cute faces while taking the pictures for which I can’t do anything else other than smiling to my heart content. We gave some good poses with funny faces where he held me by my shoulder just like we are friends forever and it is not new to him at all. Its very new to me and I am very hyper aware about the closeness we are sharing right now.

Luckily, the selfie picture session is over and I was about to sit when he pulled me up and as a result I was out of balance and held him for my dear life.

I looked up to see that he is already looking at me as if assessing me with his eyes. I cleared my throat and spoke “Since the photo session is over, can I go take rest? I am super sleepy and have an early morning call tomorrow which I need to attend”

……………

The next morning when I woke up, I realised that I am in a mess literally. Something heavy is lying on my body and I opened my eyes only to realize that I was tangled with Suhas and we both are on the right side of the bed. That literally means, he is at his place and I am the person who messed this. I was scared to listen to his shouting once he wakes up. I was trying to untangle his hands and legs from my body when I was pushed against his body like a second skin and his eyes are opened and he is looking at me with some different expression which I can’t decipher. With his sleepy voice he uttered “So, you are taking advantage of me while I am sleeping, huh?”

Shock is an understatement. I thought he will shout at me, but here he is teasing me. I think he definitely has bi-polar personality. In my defence I spoke “I am so sorry, I have no idea how I reached to your end. Trust me, I don’t have a habit to move from my place once I am asleep. I don’t know how this happened and I swear it won’t happen again” All this while, I was pressed against his body which is spreading heat all across my body.

Suhas: Oh okay fine! Just few single pictures of yours and then you can go and rest.

In the next fifteen minutes, he became my personal photographer who made me stand in different poses and clicked the pictures. I am not sure Mom would need all those pictures. But my brain is not in a situation to think about anything else, so once the session is over I slept without changing my outfit.

Since I was in saree I was not very comfortable while sleeping and am turning sides because of that. Suddenly I felt like someone is looking at me intensely and I woke up with a jerk because of some fear which is unknown to me. I immediately saw a shadow moving away from my door. So, I woke up to close my door, only then I saw that Suhas is roaming outside with his phone in his hand and every couple of minutes he is banging his head with his phone cursing out something which is not audible to me.

As any normal person, I went ahead and asked him about the problem.

Suhas: Nothing. (After a long pause, may be he thought about something) Actually, my room is a mess and as you know Ramu kaka is not there today its not arranged properly. I am not in a mood to do any work now. I have an early morning rehearsal as well. Thinking about going to Karthik’s place for sleepover but stupid guy is not lifting his phone. Do you mind if I share your room for tonight?

He is explaining so much. He is talking so much. All this is new and I am finding it funny. He can share the room without my permission, but he talking all of this makes him so cute, may be I was sleepy or I got some nerves, I immediately uttered “Cute! You need not explain anything. You can make a room for yourself inside. Come on in”

He wanted to argue for my “Cute” remark but when I looked at him with my sleepy puppy eyes, his facial expression changed and he immediately marched into my room and slept on the right side of my bed. Thankfully, I sleep on the left side of the bed so its not any problem for me.

Since I was up anyways, I left to washroom to change into my night dress. Once I am back, I saw that Suhas is already asleep. Thank god, I need not encounter any more awkward moments with him.

I drank some water and slept on my side of the bed. During my sleep, I felt like I was pulled into some hard rock but sleep took over my senses.
