Previous Story : Balika Vadhu/Child Marriage. (Published on 08 – Sep – 2021)

I have been working on a story for the last few days, but I kind of lost interest in it, as it was pretty dull. So, I wanted to take a break from that and I remembered this story idea that @pqwert207 had suggested long back where she wanted me to write a story where hero and heroine have an age gap of 10 years and are in an arranged marriage. So, I thought I'll write a looooooong drabble on it. 😊

Three things before you read this story.

1. the story has a couple with an age gap of 10 years, and teenaged heroine, so, if you have issues with that then please don't read the story.

2. I've seen an actor calling his wife "Bacha" I thought it was a sweet endearment like how some Malayali husband calls his wife "Molee". So, in this story, a few times I have used that endearment, in one or two places. If you feel weird or uncomfortable with that, then please don't read the story.

3. This doesn't have much of a story, it is just a random scribblings of a day from a couple's life.

"I am home!" Gauri cheerfully says as she walked into her home.

Jhanvi frowns seeing her. "Where were you, Gauri? how many times we tried calling you?"

"What happened?" Gauri asks confused as she checked her mobile. "I went for a movie and I had put my phone on silent. 17 missed calls from Mom, 5 from Shivaay bhaiyya, 9 from Dad, 3 from Rudy bhaiyya, 11 from Anika Bhabhi and 1 from Om?" Gauri reads out it shock. "What happened? Is everything alright?"

"You were late! You usually come by 4 and now it is 11. And you had sent the driver home saying you will come by yourself."

"Sorry." Gauri regretfully says.

Jhanvi shakes her head. "You should inform before you go like that, right? do you know how worried we were? Tej was going to call the police."

"Awww... sorry, mom." Gauri hugs her as she kissed her. "But I told Priyu when she called me. I told her to tell everyone, didn't you tell them, Priyu?" Gauri asks as she turned to her 4 years old niece.

Priyu in reply ties her hands on her chest and looks away.

"Why is Priyu angry?" Gauri asks cutely as she walked to her best friend in her husband's home.

"I'm katti." Priyu replies.

"Why? What did chachi do?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Humph."

"Oh, is that why, she went to Om? to tell him that you went for a movie?" Anika asks curiously.

"YES!" Priyu replies to her mother angrily.

"And what happened?" Gauri asks her curiously.

"He screamed at me!" Priyu says angrily.

Gauri gasps in shock. "He did?"

"Yes! I will not talk to you!"

"But I didn't scream at you, Priyu." Gauri tells her making puppy face.

"And I told you not to go to Om. he is in a terrible mood." Shivaay tells his daughter.

"But chachi told me to tell everyone." Priyu argues angrily.

"What happened? Why is Om angry?" Gauri asks curiously.

"Some employee messed up in office and one shipment is stuck at the port. If he is not able to submit all the papers and get it moving by tomorrow morning, he won't be able to deliver the order in time then he will have to pay a penalty of 1 million." Shivaay explains to her.

"Oh no." Gauri says in concern.

"You don't go to him now, Gauri. he is really furious." Jhanvi tells her.

"He even screamed at Dad." Anika informs her.

Gauri sighs hearing that.

"It's okay, Priyu. Daddy will scold Om Chachu tomorrow." Shivaay promises as he picks up his daughter and kisses her. Omkara's temper was legendary. When he was angry, it didn't matter who was in front of him, he would blast that person. When Omkara was angry he couldn't see or hear anything. poor Priyu had walked into the lion's den with Gauri's message. Omkara was forever in a bad mood and they had even hoped after marriage he would tame down a little but he had remained the same. Gauri was the exact opposite of Omkara, forever happy and always in a party mood. Omkara was aloof while she gelled up with the whole family within days of their marriage being fixed. Omkara very early had been set in his ways while Gauri was pretty flexible and accommodating. But then, maybe it all comes down to their ages. Omkara was 29 while Gauri was just 19.

"Did you have dinner, Gauri?" Jhanvi asks her.

"I had dinner with my friends, Mom."

"Okay, then you go sleep. it is late."

Gauri nods and bidding everyone good night, she heads to her room.

"Om is in the study, so don't go there." Shivaay calls out to her.

Gauri turns and grins at him.

"He is really furious, Gauri. he didn't spare Priyu also today." Shivaay warns her.

Gauri looks at Priyu feeling guilty for Omkara shouting at her unnecessarily.

"He will eat you up." Priyu tells her. "He is Hulk."

Gauri laughs hearing that and heads up the stairs. She sees Tej and Rudra walking down the stairs.

"Hello Dad... Hi Rudra bhaiyya." Gauri smiles at them.

"Where were you, Gauri?" Tej asks her frowning.

"Went for a movie and dinner with my friends. I had told Priyu to tell you all."

"Priyu was upset because your husband screamed at her." Rudra cheekily informs her.

"I hear she is not the only one he screamed at." Gauri cheekily says.

"I'm going to kick your husband out of my house. you should be saying your goodbyes to him now." Tej tells her.

Gauri laughs hearing that. "Everyone knows not to go in front of him when he is angry. Why did you go?"

"Because I was worried for you and went to ask him where you were!" Tej says offended.

"Instead he was told to get out. I told you filing a missing report was better than going to him for information." Rudra jokes.

Gauri laughs. "Okay, I am tired. I'm going."

"Stay away from him." Tej warns her.

"There are a few people from office with him. I pity those poor souls." Rudra says shaking his head.

"He is a little upset because of this issue." Gauri says in a way to defend her husband and his notorious temper.

And as if in answer, they hear Omkara's furious voice as he screamed at one of his staff.

Tej raises his eye brow at Gauri. Gauri gives him an embarrassed smile.

"Doesn't he get throat pain with the way he screams at everyone?" Rudra asks in shock.

"He keeps drinking black coffee to soothe his throat." Gauri cheekily replies.

"He should be drowned in boiling black coffee." Tej mutters and walks off.

"Now, don't go to irritate him like how you irritate Priyu and me. just go sleep." Rudra warns her and runs down the stairs.

Gauri chuckles as she ran up the stairs and instead of their bedroom, she heads to Omkara's study. As she got closer, she could hear his furious voice. They have been married for months, but every time she hears his raised voice it gives her a pause and it was every day. Gauri opens the study door.

Omkara furiously turns to look at the door and seeing her at the door, he turns to look at the staff and jerks his head to the door. without a word, they all get up and heads to the door.

"Good evening, Ma'am." They wish her.

"Good evening. How are you all? all good?" Gauri cheerfully wishes them.

"Yes, Madam." Someone mumbles and they hurries out.

After they left Gauri closes the door, she leaves her college bag on one of the chairs and walks to her husband.

Omkara tiredly shakes his head at her. "I've told you a hundred times to call me when you are late and I would come and pick you up."

"My friends dropped me. It was late when dinner got over, and they would have had to wait till you got there." Gauri tells him as she walked to him and sat on his lap. "Shivaay bhaiyya was saying that there is some problem with the shipment." Gauri worriedly asks him.

Omkara wraps his hands around her waist and holds her close. Smiling lovingly at her, he says "You don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

Gauri smiles hearing that and wraps her hand around his neck. "I know you will handle it. But why are you screaming at everyone?"

"It was their mistake. They have done it a thousand times and how can they just forget to submit the customs clearance paper?" Omkara asks her shaking his head.

"You screamed at Dad." Gauri reminds him. "He had just come to ask you why I was late."

"Oh that is why he came?" Omkara asks surprised. "I thought he had come to ask what the issue was."

"You could have explained if he had asked that too."

"I had explained it all to Shivaay." Omkara shrugs.

"And Priyu?"

"What about Priyu?" Omkara asks confused.

"You screamed at her." Gauri frowns at him.

"Priyu?" Omkara asks shocked.

"Yes!" Gauri slightly glares at him.

"She came and opened the door. I got irritated and just turned to look who it was. and she just ran off immediately, I didn't even speak to her."

"What?" Gauri asks shocked.

"Yeah... I thought she had come to play here and seeing me angry, she just left."

Gauri chuckles hearing that. "She had come to give a message from me. she told everyone that you screamed at her."

"That little liar." Omkara chuckles. "Any way how was your movie?"

"How did you know? Priyu had come to tell you that only." Gauri asks surprised.

"Your facebook update." Omkara replies gesturing to his mobile.

Gauri grins hearing that. that explains why he had called her only once when she was late, he had smartly checked FB to see whether she had made any updates or posted any photos as she usually does when she goes out with her friends or one of her friends tags her. she had posted right before entering the movie but hadn't made any posts of dinner as she had been busy discussing about the movie with her friends thus missing out on the calls from the family.

It was so strange that the rest of the family was pretty active on FB, he wasn't on facebook, still he was the only to check her FB page to see where she was. She had made an account for him and she was his only friend on FB. When he had refused to have an account as he wanted to keep his life private from all social media glares, so she had made one with the name "Tom." because he was her Tom and she was his Jerry.

"I was going to call you and inform when Priyu called me asking why I haven't reached, so I told her to tell you. everyone was worried because Priyu in her anger towards you and me, didn't tell anyone that I went for a movie and dinner with friends."

Omkara chuckles hearing that.

"Did you have dinner?" Gauri asks him as she softly yawned.

"I will have after this. You go sleep, bachcha." Omkara tells her.

"I need a shower first." Gauri says as she kept her head on his chest yawning.

"Then take a shower and sleep." Omkara tells her as he hugged her tight, rubbing his chin on her head lovingly.

"You put me to sleep." Gauri tells him as she snuggled into his chest yawning.

Omkara chuckles hearing that. "Okay, you go freshen up. I'll come in ten minutes."

"Okay." Gauri says as she got off his lap. "Did they have dinner? Let them have dinner, Om."

Omkara smiles and tells her "When I come to put you to sleep, I'll give them dinner break."

*******

Gauri comes out of the dressing room after her shower and sees Omkara keeping her college bag on the table. Gauri smiles seeing that she had forgot it there.

"All sorted?" Gauri asks him as she walked to him and hugged him.

"We're waiting for a call from someone. If he is able to submit the paper, then everything will be fine. I'm also talking to our client to see if we can get an extension." Omkara tells her as he hugged her. "You don't worry, I'll sort it."

"I am not worried. I know you'll sort it." Gauri tells him confidently as she leaned up and took his lips in hers.

Omkara pulls her closer to him and kisses her.

"When do you have to go back?" Gauri softly asks him against his lips.

"I thought I was supposed to make you sleep." Omkara says as he nibbled on her lips.

Gauri giggles hearing that. Omkara sexily grins at her as he lifted her night shirt and slipped it over her head. Gauri quickly starts unbuttoning his shirt. They hungrily kiss each other and frantically touched one another as they stumbled to the bed.

He knew every sensitive spot on her body, he knew what gave her the most pleasure and what she liked the most. Within minutes, Gauri was gasping and moaning in pleasure.

Seeing that she was as ready for him as he was for her, slipping on a condom, he enters her.

"Om..." Gauri gasps in pleasure. "I love you."

"I love you, jaan." Omkara tells her as he thrust into her.

They frantically moved against each other as they brought the other to fulfillment.

Omkara rolls over taking her with him, Gauri snuggles into his chest as they tried to catch their breath, still in the bliss of their quickie.

"Om..."

"Hmmm?"

"I love you."

Omkara looks at her and smiles. "I love you too."

"Everyone told me to stay away from you today as you were angry." Gauri tells him. "Dad even said that he was going to kick you out of the house. told me to say goodbye to you."

Omkara chuckles hearing that.

"You are always screaming at them, that I didn't want to hurt them and tell them that you never scream at me."

"I just don't understand why they think that I scream at you." Omkara says grinning.

"Because you are always screaming at everyone. even Priyu."

"Just once!" Omkara reminds her. "I was on an important call and she had snatched my phone from me. and I just sternly told her to give my phone back. I didn't even shout at her."

"She hasn't forgiven you for that." Gauri tells him chuckling.

"I know, that is why she lied today." Omkara chuckles.

"You should make it up to her. she is my best friend and I don't want my best friend and my husband to be enemies."

Omkara laughs hearing that.

"She said she is katti with me too." Gauri frowns at Omkara for laughing.

"Okay, bachcha... I'll apologize to her and get her, her favorite ice cream tomorrow."

"She just had a cold, Om!" Gauri reminds him frowning.

"That was last week. I am not that busy that I don't realize that."

"But still, don't get ice cream."

"Okay, I will get chocolates for her."

"Even me!" Gauri says excitedly as she leaned up.

Omkara rolls his eyes. "Okay. it is not like you don't go shopping or have no money."

"But I like when you get me chocolates."

Omkara smiles hearing that. "I'll get it. how was your college today?"

"College was good. I forgot that I had to submit one assignment today, so, I bunked a class and wrote it."

Omkara smiles and listen to her talk about her day.

"Is it time for you to go?" Gauri asks him curiously.

"About time." Omkara replies as he leaned down and grabbed her nightshirt for her.

"Okay then you go." Gauri says as she wore it.

"I'll go after you sleep." Omkara says as he lovingly kissed her.

Gauri smiles and snuggles him. "Do you know why Priyu treats you like an enemy?"

"Why?" Omkara asks her as he hugged.

"Because you pamper me more than you pamper her." Gauri tells him giggling. "Everybody else is always pampering her."

"Because you are my darling bachcha." Omkara replies chuckling.

Gauri slightly blush hearing that. she closes her eyes and taking his hand, she keeps it on her earlobe.

Omkara smiles he gently rubbed her earlobe. On their first night, as they lay on bed and spoke to each other, he had absent mindedly gently rubbed her earlobe and ever since, she has made him do it every night he was home before she went to sleep.

Omkara smiles as he watched Gauri sleep. theirs was an arranged marriage. his parents were looking for a bride for him when his mother had seen Gauri at one wedding. His mother had liked Gauri so much that she after an initial enquiry had sent the proposal. Only after sending the proposal did they find out about Gauri's age.

He had been apprehensive about the 10 years' age gap while for Gauri and her father, age was just a number and they had shown interest in the proposal. Her father hadn't even been thinking of Gauri's marriage then but when he got the proposal, it wasn't the rich family wanting to marry the middle class man's daughter that interested him, it was Omkara's big family that attracted Gauri's father. Gauri's mother had died when Gauri was just a baby, and after that it was just Gauri and him. their's was a love marriage and their families had disowned them, seeing their big and happy family, Gauri's father had shown interest in the proposal as Gauri never got to experience the love from a family and had asked them to meet.

The age difference even though it was a concern for him at the beginning, very soon, it had turned to a concern for her, to keep her happy. The age difference made him very protective of Gauri, and he started pampering her, he loved pampering her. Gauri had not only become his wife, she became his friend, his confidante, his Jerry, his bachcha. He became a kid and did silly things with her and for her. his world revolves around her now.

When he met Gauri for the first time, he had honestly told her about his workaholic nature and his temper issues, he wanted Gauri to know how he was before she took a decision, especially considering her young age. After hearing everything, all Gauri had asked worriedly was "Will you scream at me also?"

Her innocence and worry had touched his heart, and he had vowed to himself and her that moment that he would never raise his voice at her. He had kept his promise, no matter what, he had never raised his voice at her and never even frowned at her till this moment and he will keep it till his last breath.
