Chapter 11

Priya's POV

I was so tired today, I just wanted to sleep. I saw aunty having her tea.

" How was your day beta?she asked.

" It was good aunty, but I am very very tired."

" Why don't you take tea and then rest. Did you eat your lunch?"



" Yes aunty, I had it."



" Please stop calling me aunty, you are our daughter, call me mother or mom."



"Ok mom" she kissed on my forehead.



We all had dinner together and then I retired for the night. I opened my wardrobe to take out my nightdress, but all my old clothes were gone and all the new clothes which we brought the day before yesterday were piled up neatly in it. I looked for nightwear, but my god, all my pyjamas were gone and instead of them some soft, silky, lacy and sexy nighties were there.



What was I going to wear now? I couldn't wear those. Who kept them here, we didn't even buy them. Who bought them?

I went downstairs and asked, "Mom, where are my old clothes?"

She answered with a smile, " Beta your mom came and took all your old stuff with her and stocked your almirah with the brand new clothes."

"But mom, my night wears... did she take everything?"

"Yes, what about night wears? you must be having those in your almirah, beta."

" Yes, I have, but they are so… I mean I didn't even buy them..."



"Your mom and I did that for you as you were busy in your assignment. Are they not good enough for you beta ?"

"No, they are very good, it is just that, I am not used to that kind of night wears, I don't think I'll be comfortable in them... and they are a bit revealing. "



" So what's wrong with that? You are married now, you are supposed to wear this kind of night wears to entice your husband. He would love to see you in them."



I didn't know what to say and exactly at the same moment, Rahul came into her room. I was as red as a beetroot.



He was looking at us very curiously, I was blushing so hard. I just could not look at anyone. I just ran upstairs to my room.



Rahul's POV

I went to mom's room. I wanted to talk to her, I saw Priya was also there and she was blushing profusely. She could not even look at me. What was that? I asked mom, but she just smiled and said," It is late Rahul, I am really tired, please go to your room we will talk later on."

*****

I saw her sitting on the couch with her face buried in her laptop, she had not even changed. I asked her,

" What is the matter?"

she just shook her head and said, " No, nothing ."



" So why don't you get comfortable and please sleep on the bed."



"No I have to study, my exams are starting next week."



"Ok, at least change your clothes so that you are comfortable."



" I am very comfortable in these clothes."



" What's wrong with you? you usually sleep while studying. It will be very uncomfortable."



" No, I can't...."



" What do you mean, you can't....?"



" I can't, because... because my night wears are gone."

" Gone???? Are you alright.? What do you mean they are gone?"

" It means that they are not there anymore… missing."

" How is that possible? Let me look for them. They must be in the almirah."

" Oh no you can't, you can't touch my almirah. I don't want you to touch my almirah." She was looking so adorable standing in front of her almirah. As if she could stop me.



" What's wrong with you? I am curious now, I want to see."



" Please don't....." She was turning crimson now.

" Ok fine, can you please get me a coffee? I am very tired."

" Yeah sure, I will make it right away..." she went to make coffee and I tiptoed to her almirah and opened it.



There were at least 10 nighties in different material, Colors and designs. Now I understand, mom replaced her pyjamas with these and she was too shy to wear them.



I took out the simplest one for her and kept it on the couch and closed her almirah.



What was wrong with everyone? Mom wants Priya to wear something like this, to tempt me and dad wants me to give her Some time and space... I was going insane.



She came with the coffee and gave it to me and when she turned towards the couch she saw the pink colour nighty. She blanched and then she became red again.



"Why did you do it?"



"I was very curious as to what happened. It's just a garment. It is ok, this is very simple and will look good on you. "



"You saw all of them ?'" she gasped. I nodded mischievously.



"Now go, change and sleep on the bed as you look very tired and you have to go to college tomorrow."



She went to change, I was amused with her.

She was nervous, when she came out, but was looking hot. She sat on the couch again and said, " I have to study for exams."

I also started working on my phone. She must have been extremely tired; she slept within an hour. I was mesmerized with her.



She was hot and sexy and didn't even know that. She is cute and adorable.



I sat on the couch close to her and closed her laptop and picked her up to make her sleep on bed, but she snuggled into me and turned her face into my neck.



Oh my god !! She will be the death of mine.

I slept on the bed with her locked in my arms.



Priya's POV

I got up in the morning as my alarm went off, I tried to stop it but I couldn't

even move. There was some weight on my waist. I turned to see what it was and froze. His arm was encircling me.



Again I am sleeping on the bed and this time even Rahul would come to know about it. He will be angry with me.



I was trying to get out of his arms and he woke up. I got embarrassed that he caught me in bed with him.



Tears started to come out of my eyes as and before he could say anything I said, "I am sorry, I don't know how this happened. For the last three nights, I slept on the couch but woke up at the bed. I have never done this in my entire life. I think I am walking while sleeping. I am sorry, please it is not my fault. I need to talk to a doctor."

He just kept looking at me. I was still locked in his arms. He was looking at me with a strange expression. Then he understood what I was saying.

He hugged me tight and he wiped off my tears with his hands and said, " It is alright Priya, I have a doctor friend, I will ask him about it. And, It is ok that you are sleeping on this bed. We are married and this bed is too big, we can comfortably sleep on this, you don't need to sleep on that damn uncomfortable piece of furniture. Maybe that's why, you are sleepwalking."



He hugged me again and I really felt very good. I had to get up and be ready for college so after doing my routine I bathed and went downstairs to make breakfast.



I went to the kitchen and prepared Upma, grilled paneer sandwiches, stuffed onion paranthas for everyone.

Mom was astonished to see that I had already prepared so much.

"Beta, wow you made so many things. We love the food you prepare, but you don't have to exhaust yourself. You have to go to college too. You will be very tired, you can cook on the holidays."



"Mom, I am not tired. I love cooking."

She helped me in doing the rest of the things and asked me about my likes and dislikes. She also told me about everyone's preference in food. I made a mental note of all that.
