ACCEPTING 'US'

46.

Sudha started her work and it was quite challenging in the beginning. She was comfortable when she was home writing stories and posting them. But now she is under the scrutiny of her officials and they always keep an eye on what she writes and reads it in front of her giving her nerves. They would accept her stories but also would suggest her to change a few things making her brain work more efficiently. She was also asked to write a few articles regarding the current affairs.

She was all new to this world and she somehow felt out of place as she was physically challenged and people would not accept her. But surprisingly everyone is very normal to her and treated her as their equal. She got comfortable around them and her co-workers always helped her with many things. She was very happy and lively again after a long time. Being at home and doing home chores was not a problem to her, she liked it but being in a world full of challenges and facing them was her dream. Now that she was living it she was delighted.

Shyam on the other hand started working hard to repay the money to Aabida and also to buy something to sudha. She literally had been a blessing in his life. Without her he would never have reached this phase in his life.

" Sudha let's get out of here for sometime " shyam said on a weekend. Sudha was having off from work and shyam also finished his work early to spend time with his wife. Now that he is with his wife he doesn't want to stay home and kill time.

" What are you planning? " Sudha asked raising her brows.

" Maybe somewhere out of this place " he said looking at her. He sneaked his hand towards her waist pulling her closer to himself. As he was laying in cot in the backyard she was sticked on his front now.

" To where? " She asked again. Shyam kept moving his hand around her waist giving her goosebumps. She got habituated to his touches but still it feels new and surreal whenever he was near her. She closed her eyes in satisfaction when he rubbed her waist slowly.

" The place where only we both exist " he whispered near her ear making her shiver.

" Is there any place like that? " She asked curiously although a moan was about to escape her lips.

" Come I will show you. I cannot promise.  But we will surely enjoy it there" he said and got up. He took her in his arms and moved inside his bedroom shocking her.

" What? Is this the place are you talking about? " She questioned placing her hands on her hips.

" I will tell you but wear something new " he said pulling her towards himself. She knew if this continues they will not be able to come out so she pushed him away.

" Okay then. You get out first so that I could change " she said standing near the door.

" Why? You can change in front of me. Its not like I am seeing something new or someone else's assets. Right? " He asked running his eyes all over her body making her self conscious about her body. His mere gaze around her body gave her tickles.

" No. I know what will happen then. You better go out or we will stay home. That's it " she said stubbornly.

" Fine. I will go. Make it quick " he said and went out.

Sudha took her time in selecting a beautiful saree and got ready as fast as she could. She came out and saw her husband waiting impatiently for her. He smiled looking at her and came near her.

" You look ravishing. I am sure we are going to have a long night tonight " he smirked making Sudha shy.

She giddily waited outside for him and after a few moments he came out.

" Come on let's get out of here " shyam said and both of them went out of the house.

" Where are we off to? " Sudha asked curiously as they were going towards another direction from the town. She was unaware of the villages nearby as she never visited.
