Recap: Vaigha as Anuradha - Plan for outing.

"Why everyone silent?" Krithika shouted from the last seat of the car.

As per their plan they started their journey. Vaigha sat between Anjali and Sanjana in the middle seat whereas Arjun and Amar occupied the front seats. Krithika was in the last row. Vaibhav was driving the car. Vaigha and Sanjana were in constant talks through gestures. Within one day Vaigha learnt her language.

"Because someone is not in a good mood today?"Amar bumped his shoulder against Arjun for which he got a glare back.

Vaibhav laughed along with others not missing his wife's smile through the mirror. He then looked at his brother who is giving him a requesting look.

"Don't give me that look..you cant drive for this entire month...it's the punishment for your careless driving..when I realize that you learnt driving properly, then you can drive." Vaibhav said looking at Arjun.

"But bhai...I will be careful hereafter...Pls..."Arjun begged.
"No means No... that's all.."Vaibhav said strictly.
"If he doesn't stop his careless driving, soon our home will be filled with so many Anuradhas."Amar said chuckling.

Arjun smacked his twin bro's head when others bursted into a laugh. Vaibhav looked at Vaigha's glowing face. He understood that his wife is happy. That was enough for him. Soon the car stopped at a mall where everyone got out.
*****
"Anuradha..see..did you like this? It will be perfect for you..."Anjali took one dress and asked Vaigha about her opinion. She nodded.

"Who told it's perfect? This color won't suit our Anuradha..it's too dark for her..she is very fair...so this light green will be apt..."Krithika said taking another dress.

Vaigha nodded again. Anjali pouted.
"If you are continue nodding for every dress, then we should have to spend the entire day here... what's your favourite colour?" Anjali asked.

Vaigha pretended to be thinking and then gave a sad expression.
"I don't remember"she said for which Anjali felt sad.
"Dont worry...we will choose some beautiful dresses for you..."Anjali said holding her hand and she smiled.

"What about this??"Krithika came with a short dress for which everyone sighed.
"I can't wear these type of dresses."Vaigha said.
"Its ok...you don't need to..but ask bhai that you want this and we are buying it..."Krithika said winking.
"And then?"Vaigha was amazed.
"Then I will use it after reaching home..what to do? He won't allow me to wear these dresses..."Krithika pouted.
"It's because he loves you.."Vaigha said bursting into laugh.
"If so he should allow me to wear whatever I likes..so we are moving on with this plan..How is it?" Krithika asked.

"Wonderful plan..I heard it..."they both turned to see Vaibhav coming towards them with a lot of packets in his hand.
Krithika immediately bit her lips and hid behind Vaigha. He came to them and was about to twist Krithika's ear when she pushed Vaigha. As a result Vaigha directly dashed on to her husband's chest. She blushed when he was lost in her eyes. Before others noticing, she moved away from him awkwardly.

"Girls we are here..."Arjun and Amar came from the gents section with a lot of packets following their brother.
"Rowdy..you dont need to worry..we bought dresses for you too.."Arjun said teasing Krithika.
She gave him a glare.

It was then Vaigha felt a hold on her shoulder and saw Sanjana with a saree in her hands.
"Can you wear this for me?" Sanjana gestured and Vaigha nodded.
Sanju became happy and asked the sales girl to pack it.

"Amar..why can't we help them in selecting some dresses?"Arjun said moving his eyes on the different sales girls working there.
"Not a bad idea..after all it will be a great help for our sisters..."Amar winked.
"Hello twins..we don't want your help.. especially here.. if you are so much keen to help us, then I will call you when it's needed.."Anjali said understanding her brother's intentions.
The boys immediately moved away.

Within this gap, Vaibhav moved closer to Vaigha. He bumped his shoulder on her.
"Why are you not selecting any dress?" He asked.
"It's ok..your sisters are doing it for me.."she said.
"You can buy what you wants..no need to ask anyone's permission. Understand?" He said smiling.
"Thank you Vaibhav..I will."she said and he moved along with his brothers.
*****
The girls along with boys are now at the ornaments section. They started typing different bangles on Vaigha's hand.

"What are you guys doing? See I dont want it..I am not a bride.."she said and looked at Vaibhav who is giving her a naughty smile.

"You are really beautiful Anuradha.."Krithika said.
"Yeah..with this ornaments and saree you will exactly look like a bride..why can't we find a groom and get you married?"Anjali said and Vaigha looked at her husband who is glaring at his sister. She felt to laugh.
"Whoever going to marry you, he will be damn lucky."Arjun commented.

A slight blush on Vaibhav's face. He wondered when did he start such feelings. He smiled on the thought.

"What will happen if she is already married?" Amar spoke this time.
Everyone thought for a moment.
Vaigha confirmed that her mangalsutra is inside her dress. Vaibhav also tensed.

Sanjana gestured that no.
"Sanju is right...if she is already married, her husband might have come in search for her within this time...no husband can stay away from such a beautiful wife for a long time" Krithika said.
"Exactly.."It was Vaibhav who said and everyone looked at him in wonder.

"Did you say anything bhai?" Arjuna asked.
"Nothing..so guys.. its late.. make it fast.."Vaibhav said to avoid further questions.

Everyone looked for more ornaments when Vaigha's eyes fall on a pair of anklets. she felt it beautiful and it was shining on the display. She smiled and averted her eyes back.
*****
They spend the day together with shopping, films, ice creams, dinner etc..It helped Vaigha a lot to make a strong bond with his sisters and brothers. She slowly started feeling that she got her family back. His siblings also feel the same. They started considering her as their own sister. She became a part of their funny moments and joys. Vaibhav was also happy when seeing them together. It was the first time he is enjoying a full day together with his family.

Finally it was night when they returned back to home. Vaigha was about to check whether Vaibhav slept when she was dragged to his room. she saw Vaibhav closing the door behind him. She felt nervous and her eyes lowered. He moved closer to her making her more uncomfortable.

"So how was the day?" He asked.
"It was great Vaibhav..I didn't remember such a wonderful day in my life after my mom's death. Thank you for it.."she said.
"Thank you for me???hahaha..it was Arjun who hit car on you...say thanks to him.."he laughed.
"I know..but it was you who married me..If it was another girl I am sure that you wouldn't have allow her to stay here..and it was you who insisted me stay here by continuing this drama.."she said
"So you started studying Vaibhav..."he smiled.
She blushed.
"You are intelligent Vaigha more than I imagine. I feel pity on that perspective groom of yours who left you on marriage day."he said and suddenly her face changed.

"What happened?"he asked
"Nothing...Can I go? They must be searching for me.."she was about to go when he hold her hand.
"Wait..I have something for you..."he moved towards the wardrobe and took a box out.

He gave it to her and she was wondered.
"My first gift for my wife.. open it.. bought for you Only.."he said with happiness.
She opened it and her eyes widened. She was totally surprised.
"This one..."she wondered.

It was the same pair of anklets she was looking at the jewellery.
"I saw you staring at it..did you really like it?"he asked.
"Actually I had something similar to this in my childhood..a birthday gift from my mom..but unfortunately I lost it one day..when I see this for first time, I thought it was the same one mom gave me.. that's why.."suddenly her eyes welled up. She was about to cry when Vaibhav hold her face and wiped the tears away.

"Don't cry pls...I can't see you in tears."he said and she smiled.
"Thanks Vaibhav.."she said.
"Saying thanks to your husband is a crime.."he said pouting.

She laughed.
"Thank god.. finally you laughed..sorry for making you cry.."he said excitedly.
"Saying sorry to your wife is a crime"she said rolling her eyes and they both laughed together.

"If you don't mind, can I make you wear it?"he asked not knowing what would be her response.
She nodded blushing and he smiled. He made her sit on the bed and slowly took her feet in his hands.
"Vaibhav.. don't touch my feet..."she said
"Wait..I am your husband and definitely I can touch you anywhere..."he said and she was wondered with his words. She immediately lowered her eyes and he bit his lips in embarrassment when he realized what he said.

He slowly made her wear the anklets and she smiled in joy.
"It's beautiful... especially when it is lying on your foot.."he said.
"I have something to say.."she said.
"What's it?"he asked anxiously.
"Would you feel offend if I say it?" She said standing up from bed.
"Not at all..you can say me anything.."he assured.

"What I have to say is...that...that.. Good Night..."she bursted into laugh and immediately ran out of his room. He stood there like a statue and then laughed.
"It offended me Vaigha... you will have to pay for it.."he shouted from back and then smiled.

Life is slowly changing..for him and her...is it for good or the worst?
