Sidharth yawned waking up and stretching his hands.

"Kullu.. Good Morning", wished Flora as she was accustomed to listening to few words.

"Good morning sweetheart", he said and made his way to the inflatable pool in which she was seated.

He scrunched his nose sniffing a foul odour. Looking at the yellow substance in the pool, he realised that she had pooped like humans in the pool after eating human food which smelled foul. She put her head down embarrassed to which he smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Aise sharminda feel karneki zarurat nahi darling, hum sab bhi yahi karte hai uske andar..", he said pointing at the bathroom door.

She looked into the direction he pointed and looked at him and he nods yes.

"Chalo ab tumhe aur iss pool ko saaf karte hai aur ismein naya paani bharte hai.", He said picking her up from the pool and taking her inside the bathroom. Placing her in the bath tub, he turned on the tap and progressed to clean the inflatable pool, while she admired him from the tub.

It was quite a task for him early morning but nevertheless he was still happy around her. After filling up the pool with clean water, he placed her back into it and took bath himself.

Post their breakfast, they really didn't have much to do as they were underground. He mostly talked to her while she babbled few words learnt from him. They watched a rib-tickling comedy movie. Whenever Sidharth laughed at a humour, she giggled along though she understood very little. Yes, little because she had been a quick learner by spending time with him.

"Shehnaaz, tumhare itne ghane lambe baal hai, ispe kuch jaadu chalata hoon.", He said grabbing a comb, he gently untangled the little knots in her hair.

She being the curious one, turned around to see him every now and then. Pressing the comb in between his lips he scolded her.

"Hilo matt Shehnaaz. Main koi hair stylist nahi hoon joh easily manage karega apni job. Maa jab kuch dino ke liye bedridden thi, tab thoda bahut unke baal bana leta tha. Toh mujhe bahut dikkat hoti hai samjhi? Bahut mehnat lagti hai chotti banane mein, pata hai? Issi liye bilkul hilna nahi hai.", He instructs her.

She turns yet again earning a glare from him.

"Shehnaaz.. Hilo matt.", He said strictly.

"Hilo matt", she repeated sweetly making him chuckle.

"Gadhi..", he muttered

"Gadhi..", she repeated.

"Woh toh tum ho, jispe mujh jaise seedhe saadhe insaan ka dil aa gaya hai. Dil aaya gadhi pe toh JALpari kya cheez hai. Kaisa laga mera improvisation?", He laughed at it himself while tying a rubber band which he had taken off from a grocery cover.

"Beautiful!!!", He said looking at her and she blushed knowing that he complemented her by his expression.

"Do minute ruko main abhi aaya..", he said running downstairs to the garden and plucking few roses from it before racing back to the room inside.

He then carefully tucked the roses into her braided hair which managed to stay in its place only after an 'n' number of failed attempts.

"Pufff!!! Kitna mehnat kar liya aaj.. aur dekho mehnat ka phal bahut bahut pyaara hota hai. Dekhogi?", He asked to her.

She batted her eyelashes. He kissed her cheeks making her blush.

"Bahut sundar, chalo tumhe khudh ke darshan karaate hai. Aa.. aa.. aa.. dekho abhi bata deta hoon, tum meri ho, agar khudh ko dekh ke apne aap ke pyaar mein padh gayi na toh mujhe bura koi nahi hoga.. tumhe pyaar karne ka haq sirf mera hai.. samjhi?", He warned her sweetly by showing his finger to her.

"Samjhi?", She imitated him by showing her finger.

"Mujhe kya bol rahi ho? Samjhna tumko hai ki tumhara kullu tumhe leke bahut jyada possessive hai..", he said lifting her up and taking her towards the huge dressing table while she kept gawking at him.

"Oye, madam jalpari, mujhe kya ghurr rahi ho, udhar dekho.. uss taraf.. aaine mein..", he said narrowing his eyebrows and then pointing at mirror.

She looked into the mirror and was stunned for a moment.

"Ghar", she said looking at herself in the mirror. She thought, probably she was looking at another mermaid.

"Huh? Kya?", He looked puzzled.

"Kullu.. ", she squeaked looking at his imagine in the mirror. Turning her face she looked at him and the image in the mirror few times. A blush appeared on her face when she realised that she was looking at her reflection along with her kullu, just like the selfie he took from close up.

"Haaye Ram! Yaha bhi mujhe hi taad rahi ho? Itna matt taado ki sheesha hi tootth jaaye..", he smiled.

It had been 2 days that he had been dressing her up by doing here hair style post which he would train her to recognise parts of the body by their name.

"Achcha batao yeh kya hai?", he asked pointing at his forehead.

"Mathi maari gayi hai meri.", She says with a facepalm after some pondering.

"Huh? (Laughs) Oye, filmo ka asar jyada ho raha hai tumpe.. Matta hai woh.. Matta.. Matta bolo..", he instructs.

"Matta", she said in a baby voice and he kissed her forehead.

"Good, agli baar yaad rakhna warna tv dekhna band kara dunga tumhaari..", he scolds sweetly.

"TV", she says looking at the television mounting on the wall.

"Achcha? Ab Kullu nahi dikhta tumhe? Idhar dekho.. yeh kya hai batao..", he points at his eyes.

"Aankhein", she squeaked while batting her eyelashes.

"Oh!! Lovely.. bahut sundar hai tumhaari aakhe..", he said praising her eyes and kissing them

He pointed at his nose.

"Naak", she said softly.

"Superb. Tumhari naak bahut nookili hai. ", He said nuzzling his nose with her nose.

He pointed at his ears.

"... Kaan", she said after pondering for a while.

"Fantastic! Very good Shehnaaz! I..Love..You..", He whispered the last sentence before kissing her ears and making her groan softly.

He points at his chin.

"Ttuddi", she said earning a kiss on her chin.

"Wah! Kya mast jawline hai tumhaari..", He said holding her jaw gently.

He then pointed at his lips.

"Honth", she said immediately..

"Shabaash, yeh jatt se bol diya.. kiss karne ki bahut jaldi hai madam ko, haan? Tumhare honth bahut fuller aur juicy hai.", He flirted in his husky voice before smooching her lips. She smiled through the kiss, while her cheeks turned red.

He pointed at his cheek and she kissed it. He was taken aback to get kissed by her for the first time. He gets yet another by forwarding the other cheek.

"Gaal", she giggled.

"Right, jo at the moment pure tamaatar ke jaise laal ho gaye hai tumhaare.. mann kar raha hai kaat loon inhe..", he said leaning and placing open mouth kisses on both her cheeks.

He points at his neck.

"Chhatti", she says.

"Aaa aaa.. Galat! Chhatti isse bolte hai (touching his chest) yeh gardan hai. Bolo Gardan", He states pointing at his neck.

"Bolo Gardan", she says lifting up her neck. He laughs and kisses it while she moans softly.

"Shehnaaz, hoo (he placed his palm on his mouth) yeh kaisi kaisi awaaz nikaal rahi ho? choddo, aage ka nahi puchta..", he said with a smile.

"Chhatti", she said placing her palm on her chest. He agrees nodding his head with a blushing smile.

"Haath", she says displaying her fair and delicate hands.

"Ekdum.. Bahut bahut sundar haat hai", he says getting up from his place and searching through his bag. Returning back he shows her the big bangle.

"Yeh kangan mere mom ke hai. Humaari har Bharatiya maa ka ek sapna hota hai, bete ki shaadi karaana aur apne haath ka kangan apne bahu ke haat mein pehnaana. Pyaar karta hoon na tumse toh ispe tumhaara haq banta hai. Maa ka ashirwaad, samjhi?", He said sliding a bangle each in both her hands.

"Maa", she says looking at the bangles and remembering the picture of his mother he had shown earlier..

"Haan.. ab dekho tumhaare haat aur bhi pyaare pyaare lag rahe hai.. haina?", He says kissing her forehead.

He falls silent remembering his mom.

"Kullu.. Pait", she points at her belly. He moves his eyeballs towards the direction she pointed and noticed her perfectly carved belly and the attractive belly button.

"Sahi hai.. aise lagta hai jaise kisi swarg ki apsara ka kamar hai.", he said nodding his head.

"Poonch", she says wagging her fish tail and splashing water on him.

"Kya kar rahi hai Shehnaaz? Rukho..", he bawls placing his hands infront of his face making her giggle.

"Kis janam ka badla le rahi ho? Nahaa nahaa ke maar dalogi kya mujhe.. sochta hoon raincoat pehenke ghoomu tumhaare irdh girdh..", he says wiping his face with a towel.

Aaachoooo... Aachoooo..

The giggling Flora gets scared and panics as sneezing was new to her. She flinches in fear from her places everytime he sneezes.

"Sorry, sorry darro math.. aachoooo.. itna bheegaogi toh sardi.. aachooo.. ho hi jaayegi na?", He says.

He runs to his luggage and immediately swallows a medicine as a precaution because he knew he can't afford to fall sick especially for Flora's sake.
