FARI
✨

There was a screeching silence in the car which as of now I was driving. I slowly peeked at the man next to me. His eyes were still as big as saucers. I scrunched my nose. He was looking at the road without blinking since last 30 mins!

Honestly I was scared of seeing his condition now. The monster was in a state of shock. I didn't know if I should laugh or blush.

If this is how he behaves at a mere touch of our lips I wonder if all his boasting of being with women is even true. I wonder if he's also a virgin like me. I pressed my lips tightly trying to hide my laughter.

His playfulness has all gone. All his challenging ways are gone in thin air. Lion looked like a scaredy cat right now and honestly I wanted to pull his cheeks. He's cute. Shoooo cute!!!

I cleared my throat to gain his attention yet he kept scaring the roads and didn't even spare me a glance.

'Ahhhh...Ahhemmm... Would you like some water?' saying I passed him my water bottle.

He didn't even look at my side but quickly pulled the bottle from my hand and mouthed it.

In one go he kept gulping down straight the 1.5 litre bottle of mine making my eyes widen. I so wanted to tease him now.

'Ohhh you mouthed it..I hope you didn't taste my lipstick on it!!! I mouth it too...' I said and next second he spat out the water on the car windshield and dashboard coughing and sneezing the water making me burst out laughing.

'Easy there tiger!!! Calm... breathe breathe!!!' I said handing him over my scarf to rub his face and his tshirt which had completely got drenched now.

'Ewwww gross!!! Everything spilled out...Yukkk!' saying he began cleaning himself up. I rolled my eyes realising his OCD which suddenly kicked in. But what followed was unexpected.

'Stop the car Fari!!!'

'Its Farenne for you!!!'

'Well in that case stop the car Mrs D'Cruz!'

'You...It's...Miss Dsouza!!!'

'Yeahhh and I'm Channing Tatum!!!' he said rolling his eyes and then again asked me to stop but I was also stubborn.

'No!!! I won't!!!'

'Well in that case...fine!!!' he said but what followed had my turn of eyes popping out.

He removed his black tshirt exposing his god like body to me which were decorated with tattoos.

Lots and lots of tattoos!!!

I gulped as I tried to not look over him but my eyes had a different mind of its own. They peeped over and over again to take a glance at this sexy piece of meat next to me.

The next second my breath hitched as he covered the distance between us. His face was very much into my neck and I couldn't breathe. This teasing game is going too far. My grip on the steering wheel tightened. My knuckles went white. My face flashed and my heart was beating real hard. It was getting tougher for me to concentrate. Suddenly the small box of this space was all I could think of.

This heat radiating sex god next to me was making me feel how to turn on a pipe down south without even touching someone. I couldn't know if I was a pool down there or I peed. Damn this man!

But next second he surpassed me and completely dipped backwards shoving his front onto the back seat of the car reaching for something. My eyes helplessly roamed on the little burning rose tattoo just above the v of his buttocks. Damn the flesh there made me feel shy too. He was a blessed man! For a minute I didn't know if I was so horney or did he make me feel so hot.

But within seconds he pulled back himself with a fresh white tshirt. He pulled it over his body making me feel slightly disappointed.

He saw me see him but I quickly averted my gaze. He slowly pushed back his seat making more leg room for himself and leaning back on the seat pushing his legs forward while he smirked.

'It's a scenic beauty wasn't it?' he asked

And honestly all my eyes recalled was all the perfect cuts of his body, those inks on his perfect chest and abs and I swallowed but said a 'Hmmm'

He pushed his one leg on the dashboard and said...
'Looks like Mrs D'Cruz was disappointed for the loss of her view!' he smirked again and I didn't answer anything. I understood what he tried to imply.

After a few minutes he asked pulling a pillow from the back of his car saying...
'You can't keep your eyes to yourself right when I'm around?'

I was shocked.

'Nothing like that!!! You have a big misunderstanding!'

This time he leaned front exactly parallel to me and said...
'You glare at me like I'm a fresh piece of meat Lil Dove! What is it? Don't tell me you are already dreaming of all the naughty things!' he said and I rolled my eyes saying

'You wish!!! It's just that I like those tattoos! They are plenty! I have never seen someone with so many!' I said and suddenly his mood was out. He didn't utter a word. He only kept looking outside.

Did I say something wrong?

'Mummmaaaa....noooo...noooo I won't do it again. No mumma...no mumma...I promise mumma... please...no mumma...noooo mummmmaaa!!!'

'Huhhhhhhh' I woke up at once all sweaty and scared.

'You ok???' I asked and I nodded. I started looking here and there when she asked...

'What happened?'

'Do you have some water?' I asked and she said

'Ummm nope! You emptied my bottle. There's no water here. How about me stopping the car. Ok see there's a small shop there... let me stop there!' she said and went to get a bottle of water.

However she came back with a bottle of water and then asked me...
'Will you have Pani puri?' and I raised an eye and looked at the place where she planned to eat from

It was a man standing with a brown pot under a little umbrella.

'Ewww that's not even a shop! No ways! I'm not eating there and you are not eating there either. God alone knows when did he wash that pot last time and when did he have bath last time and just the thought of he not washing his hands after doing his business and using the same han'

'Stoppppp!!!' she screamed with angry red eyes.

'You don't wanna eat don't eat! I don't care! And anyways panipuri by the road side is tastiest Pani puri ever!!! So you know what Mr. ABD...sit and sulk with your OCD and let me have some till you sit and cry over it.

Saying she ran towards the man who gave a paper bowl and she went down to gobble those ugly unhygienic water balls.

I literally had to interrupt her when she was going for her 5th plate. Like literally she ate 50 puris. What is she a human? And with that petite figure I wonder where does all that panipuri go???

I had to forcefully drag her from there in order to stop her eating more.

We reached Phulvaspura by 8 pm in the night and we were this time given a grand welcome by the villagers. I wasn't expecting all that. But when Fari's friend Ritu's mother Anandi Tai made us sit together and warded off our evil it hit us hard. This time they were welcoming their Fari's husband and not their boss.

A lady walked forward and offered us a plate full of Jalebis and Samosas. Although I'm not a sweet lover the jalebis looked crispy and delicious. But Fari quickly denied saying she was full.

'But they are your favorites Fari!!!' said the lady but Fari politely refused.

'Atleast make your husband eat some!' said Anandi Tai and I pressed my lips trying to hide my smile when Fari said...

'Ohhh ummm no Anandi Tai..he is a health freak! He won't eat all this!'

I narrowed my eyebrows asking...
'Who said? I love Jalebis!!!'

'Nonsense!!! He ...he is lying... He doesn't eat all this..guess what he didn't eat anything on the way!!' she argued

'Thats because it's not hygeinic! This is!!! And I'm going to eat it...eat lots of them' saying I picked a jalebi and munched on it. At the first crackle I moaned and her eyes widened in shock.

Fari

It was shocking. The man who would eat only in five star restaurants and pay those thousands pink note was now eating homemade Jalebis. And that too like he's hungry for lifetimes...I was actually shocked seeing him stuff like that.

But he looked cute. Indeed a happy child if I could say.

And that's when Anandi Tai said...
'Awww I never knew Alexander Sir is so friendly. Last we heard was he was a monster!' she said and looked at the way he was gobbling the Jalebi.

'He is Tai...don't you see the way he is feeding on the Jalebi. Hapshi (hungry ghost)!!!' I said and that's when a Jalebi was stuffed into my mouth and my eyes widened.

'Eat!!! This is better than those unhygienic water balls!!!' he said

'Paaaani puri it is!!!' I argued

'Yeah yeah...we will see when you have a stomach upset!!! God alone knows for how long did the man didn't have bath!!!"

And before he could start again I stuffed two Jalebis in his mouth and this time he was shocked.

That's when we heard a loud applause.

Anandi Tai walked infront of us and again warded off evil eye from us and said...
'God bless you both...you both remind us of Jalebi's husband our Jamai Baapu's brother's wife... Prarthana!!!'

And that's when Alexander asked...
'Jalebi's who???"

And I added...
'Its Mukta's sister in law!!! They call Mukku as Jalebi!!! And her husband is their Jawai Baapu as in son in law of this village!!!'

And that's when he said something which made me shocked...
'Well in that way even I'm their Jawai Baapu!!!' and I was shocked. For a brief moment our eyes met and I wanted to say so many things but my tongue felt tied and that's when a uncle said ...

'Ofcourse Mr D'Cruz...you are our Jawai Baapu as well!!! Infact we are proud of you both...we all owe so much to you and Omkar Baapu...with the educational institution you will start will bring new life to this village. Our children will get education and they don't have to go to city.

And with Phool so many houses have a good earning today specially after last year's flood many farmers were in debts and with Phul...now we have a new hope...new opportunity... specially with your night shift opportunity many farmers can work in nights.

When you proposed night shifts initially we all thought it wasn't possible. But now when farmers didn't have to sell their lands. The jobs gave them opportunity to work in night and have a regular income. We can all pay our loans and we won't loose our lands too. We have a steady income. Thank you so much Mr D'Cruz!!!' said the man folding his hands with moist eyes. Suddenly the air became thick. I could see many villagers looked extremely emotional while I looked at Alexander.

It was indeed a great initiative. Suddenly I felt proud knowing him...I felt proud about being his wife.
His WIFE!!!

The villagers blessed us both. The love they had for him was unbelievable. They actually worshiped him. And he suddenly looked too overwhelmed. He wasn't even looking at anyone. All he did was dig into the plate and savour the jalebis.

✨

'Thank you' I said as we entered the room arranged by Tai and he turned around saying...

'Why???'

'You....agreed to stay here in this room...you didn't give them your stupid attitude... you treated them warm!!!' I said and he looked at me

We kept looking at each other. I paused but I wanted to say it all...

'For the educational institution...for...Phul!!! You pretend like a monster but somewhere you make me feel like you are a fallen angel!!!'

To which he smirked saying...
'Dont!!! I'm not a hero!!! I'm the villain. It's all my selfish plans which a stupid someone screwed up and in the urge to win against her...I got myself invested in all this!!!'

I smiled folding my hands towards my chest saying...
'Well then I think you must thank that girl!!! Don't you think?' I asked biting my lower lip when suddenly I saw him pass the double bed and walked closer to me. My throat dried up suddenly and it all felt so damn hot.

He bent towards my height towering closer to me and whispered...
'My way of thanking is different! Can I thank you in my unique way?' he asked boring his blue eyes into mine and my chest heaved. I felt air being stuck in my throat and my eyes being mesmerised by his blue ones.

He took another step and in one go he bent towards my cheek and I felt his hot breath fan my left cheek. I felt extremely hot right now and then suddenly I felt his warm lips on my left cheek for a brief minute making my eyes shut close. His fragrance...his minty breath...his soft lips...HIM!!!

HE was intoxicating!

'The snake on your chest is unique! It makes you look sexy!' I said out of the blue!!! And the next second my eyes opened and met his blue ones while he blinked multiple times and pressed his lips tight to stop smiling but he cleared his throat saying...

'Ahhhhemmmm okay!!! If you say so!!!'

And the next second I realised what I blabbered and I closed my mouth with both my hands while he chuckled.

What the F wrong with me. This man acts like a drug when he's closer to me. Damn and I'm supposed to share a room with him tonight!

I'm screwed!
