Her Little Wishes

Chapter-7

Aurin's p.o.v

" Yes, Ammi. I am fine now," I told my mom over the phone and sighed.

Ammi asked worriedly," Is Mikaeel treating you well? Everything is sorted out, right?"

Hearing her question I looked at my husband who was getting ready for office. He was wearing his Armani suit and looking handsome as usual. I won't lie that I am not attracted to him. His outer self is attractive but I am still confused about his inner self.

My eyes fell on the tulips which he brought last night and I licked my dry lips nervously. My heart warmed up thinking about last night and I smiled a little.

" Yes, everything is sorted out," I answered still looking at my husband.

I heard Ammi taking relaxed breathing and said," You don't know how much worried I was about you. I couldn't even sleep remembering what you said. Anyway, after talking to you now I am feeling a little bit relieved."

" How is Baba? Doesn't he want to talk to his daughter? Doesn't he want to know how am I?" I questioned clutching the hem of my dupatta(stole).

My mom started hesitating and I understood that my father has already forgotten about me. Tears started clouding my vision but I controlled myself.

" Seems like Baba is still angry with me," I said meekly and in return, I got Ammi's silence indicating that I wasn't wrong.

After a few moments, Ammi said trying to divert this topic," Why don't you and Mikaeel vis......................"

Before she could finish her saying my phone got switched off. I tried to switch it on almost 4 times but every time it went in vain. I have to buy a new phone as soon as possible.

" What's wrong?" I heard my husband asking me.

I answered still trying to switch on the phone," My phone's battery died. Actually, it has some problems and I..................

" Oh! That's it. I thought something serious has happened. You just wasted my time," He said and I looked at him with disbelief.

I asked with creased brows," I wasted your time! When?"

He didn't answer me and left the room. How rude! He could have heard what I was saying or could have tried to help me but no! He had to leave showing me his attitude!

I don't know what's his problem. Whenever I think that our relationship is improving, he will jump to ruin it. I have named him correctly. A robot.

After few hours

I returned to my room after taking a long shower and walked towards the dressing table. I started drying my hair when I noticed a gift box on the dressing table.

Placing the towel over my shoulder I picked up the box and wondered who left it here. I found a piece of paper where it was written 'I don't know your favourite colour. So, I bought it according to my taste'.

I couldn't hold back my curiosity anymore and opened the box hurriedly. After opening the box my eyes widened with pure shock and an amusing expression appeared on my face.

" An iPhone!!" I mumbled tracing my fingers over this black colour phone.

I was still in my shocked state wondering what just happened when I received a message.

Your new phone. I know that you have liked the gift because till now nobody has disliked my gift.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling. That means he noticed my phone and understood that I badly needed a phone. I wonder what would have happened if he showed this concern in front of me by telling me some sweet words. This surprise wasn't bad though but some words from him would have left a better impact on me.

Having a wide smile I started typing thank you when I got another text from him.

" That doesn't mean you will call me every one hour or send messages every 10 minutes to irritate me."

My smile vanished immediately and I threw away the box angrily. What does he think of himself? Huh! I won't call him ever. To hell with this phone. I won't even touch it. Let me have a job first. I will buy a phone on my own.

I will just throw the phone on the bed when I received another text. At first, I thought to not check it first but curiosity forced me to check it.

" That doesn't mean you will forget me completely. Call me when you will miss me."

Urghh! This man and his mood swings! I don't know what I should say now. Why it is so difficult to understand him. Sometimes I feel like he is caring for me and sometimes I feel like he doesn't even acknowledge my existence. What's his real self?

After thinking about him like an eternity finally, I called him because I was missing him like a fool. Why I am becoming a lovesick puppy for him? Why?

After one week

Author's p.o.v

Mikaeel was watching TV half lying on the bed. The TV was on but his whole concentration was on Aurin who was looking at the laptop. Nervousness was clearly visible on her face and Mikaeel can feel that something is wrong.

" Maybe I am unlucky," Aurin mumbled closing the laptop.

Mikaeel asked changing the channels," What's wrong?"

Sitting beside him, Aurin replied looking down," It's been one week since I applied for a job. But, no company has called me for interview yet. When I checked properly, there was no vacant post left. I don't know how can they eliminate me without interviewing me."

" I see. If you want I can talk with any other company you like," Mikaeel offered and Aurin looked at his eyes directly.

She found concern in his eyes for her and her mood was lightened up. Though she will never ask for his help because she wanted to do something on her own, she was happy that he thought about her.

Moving towards him she placed her head over his chest and cuddled with him. He wrapped his huge hands around her petite body and mentally smiled keeping his face straight.

" I will try in other companies," She replied and he sighed.

After that Aurin started playing with his chest hair which wasn't so much and he continued watching TV. Both of them were silent having a lot of thoughts in their minds. Aurin wanted to tell a lot of things to him, share her feelings with him but remained silent because he never answers her questions properly.

Suddenly, breaking the silence he called her," Wifey."

" Hmm," She hummed raising her head.

He questioned still looking at the TV," What do you think about me?"

" You are rude," She answered truthfully pouting her lips and he looked at her amusingly.

It's the first time someone told him right on his face that he is rude. Her truthfulness was amusing for him and it's like nth time his wife has impressed him unknowingly.

Chuckling a little he pulled her right cheek gently and said," I heard that the rude guys always get the sweetest wives. So, people are not wrong actually."

Aurin blushed hearing him when he grabbed her jaw tightly. Placing his lips over her fluffy cheeks he gave her a hard kiss making her skin red.

" That's your punishment for looking so adorable right now," He whispered in her ear and she failed to stop her giggle.

After some days

" Ammi called last night. She was inviting us and.............." Aurin couldn't finish her sentence when Mikaeel said," You can go. I won't be able to come."

Aurin replied folding one of his shirts," You didn't hear me properly. I said 'us'. It would be embarrassing for me if I go to my mother's place for the first time after marriage without my husband. It's tradition."

" I don't care about all these shitty traditions. If you want then you can go. Honestly saying I really don't want to smell cow dung. I don't like the village nor its people. All of them stink. Yuck!" He said in one go and bit his tongue for revealing his true feelings about her village. Looking at her face he instantly regretted what he said just now.

Throwing the shirt right across his face she laid down on the bed angrily. How can he talk like that about the place where she was born and raised. By insulting her village, he has indirectly insulted her.

It's been almost a month since their marriage and everything is going just how it was going from the very first day. Aurin always wants Mikaeel's attention and wants to be adored by him but he never shows that much affection to her.

Aurin expects him to open up to her, share his feelings and thoughts with her but he does completely the opposite. There is always been an emotional gap between them.

In these few days, Aurin has accepted Mikaeel just the way he is. She understood that he is an introvert and he won't open up to her so easily. So, she decided to be patient because she has fallen in love with him already.

It's not like he has done something very extraordinary or touching for her, a few emotional gestures from him was enough for Aurin to think about him only. She just couldn't control herself from loving him. She is still waiting for the day when he will open up to her and tell her that he also loves her because she believes that somewhere in his heart she has a special place.

Right now Aurin expected him to be apologising but pouring water over her expectation he just laid down beside her. She thought when he will try to intimate with her and that's when she will show her anger.

But, Mikaeel is Mikaeel! Realising her burning mood, he didn't dare to touch her. Moving his face in another direction he closed his eyes to sleep though his hands were itching to touch her smooth skin, feel her warm core and suck her plump lips.

Aurin moved at him and found him lying on the bed keeping his face in another direction. Her anger reached its peak by his behaviour and she needed something to vent her anger. So, she just pulled away the blanket from his body and wrapped it around her furiously.

" I am not feeling cold since I have an oven lying beside me," He teased her but she wasn't affected even an ounce by his words.

It's early in the morning and Aurin was sleeping peacefully. Her peaceful slumber was disturbed by some whispering sounds. It's like someone was talking in the room lowering his/her voice.

" Urgh!! Let me sleep," Aurin yelled in her sleep but the whispering didn't stop.

And, the moment she opened her eyes, she was welcomed by a pure shock.
