Sold to my Husband

Hope ...

Continuing from previous part
As sanskar sitting on khaat he took out his mobile phone and try to call his maa but bad luck there is no network . He look at the food given to him and his stomach groans he didn't eat once in journey and now he is super hungry so he start eating food which seems totally simple but truly delicious. Sanskar is eating when Birju come in hut and shock seeing an unknown guy setting in his house , sanskar too see him and gulp his food in hurry to introduce himself but Birju in threatening way held his crop cutter up and ask " kun ho tum ? bhitar kaise aaye?(who are you? how you came here?)" Sanskar open his mouth to reply but kusum came out and say stopping Birju's hand " arre ragini ke baapu yeh jamai babu hai sanskar aaj hi shehr se aaye hain( he is jamai babu sanskar, he came from town today only)" hearing this Birju smile in relief and say dropping his hand down " jamai babu kaise hain aap aur apne aane ki khabar bhi nahi ki! Chaliye koi nahi aap aa toh gaye( jamai babu how are you and you didn't gave message of your arrival before! Forget it you are here that's  a good thing)" .  Sanskar stood up and say in apologetic way  " woh maaf kijiyega main bas khana khane laga aap baithiye na mujhe kuch baat bhi karni hai( I'm sorry I start eating food without noticing you , come let's sit together I want to talk to you about something)" . Birju sit down on floor wiping his sweat off " arre nahi nahi jamai babu yeh khana aapke liye hi toh hai , haan mana sher jaisa toh nahi hai yeh khana par ab jo bhi hai yahi hai aur bataiye mataji kaisi hain aapki ?(no no jamai babu this food is specially made for you , I know it's not as good as city's food but that's all we can make at this moment and how's your mother?)" . Sanskar ask him " aap niche mat baithiye yanha baithiye mere sath aur yeh khana buhot acha hai ( please you don't sit on floor sit beside me on khaat and this food is delicious)" . Kusum come with water and food for Birju giving to him and reply to Sanskar " jamai babu hum aapke saath kaise baith sakte hain aap ghar ke jamai hain aap chinta mat kijiye aur aaram kar lijiye( how can we sit beside you jamai babu you are this house son-in-law , you don't take tension and take rest)" Sanskar feels awkward hearing this not because they are saying him their son-in-law but because of the amount of respect they are giving him, they are treating him as if he is some god or sort . Don't know how'll they react listening his decision well not in a calm manner definitely. He say to them " kyun nahi baith sakte jamai bhi toh bete jaisa hota hai aap mujhse waise hi vayhvaar kariye jaise aapi beti se karte hain( why you can't sit beside me a son-in-law is like son only , you please don't behave in this manner with me as if I'm superior to you , treat me just like you treat your own daughter)" . Kusum and Birju nodded and Birju say " main thodi diar aaram kar leta hoon jamai babu aap bhi aaram kar lijiye phir baatein kar lengye ( I take some rest for now , jamai babu you to take rest then we'll talk)" sanskar want to say to talk now only but seeing that both kusum and Birju come back from working hard in fields so he too nodded and go in room lay on khaat , he is too tired from journey so soon he fall asleep 💤

Kusum and Birju tell ragini " bitiya hum jaa rahe hain subha tak aa jayge tum dhayan rakhna jamai babu ka thik hai bas khush ho jaye woh tumse ( Ragini we are going, we'll come back till morning you take care of jamai babu properly make sure he'll gets impressed and happy with you )" Ragini nodded slowly and close hut's door .
She look at sanskar who is sleeping and glups thinking about what her mother told about first night , she is scared but she have to do whatever he say or do to her for her parents..

Sanskar sleep got disturbed by mosquitoes biting and sweat and he slowly open his eyes yawning and starch his arms he sit up on khaat and his eyes fell on Ragini who is standing in one corner of this small room covering her face till her lips, through she covering her face but the duppata of of ghagra choli is of net fabric doing not much help covering her angelic face .
Sanskar get confused seeing her like this and ask " ummm woh kaka kaki kanha hai ?( ummm where is uncle auntie?)" Ragini say in low voice " maa baapu goan ke kirtan mein gaye hain subha tak aa jayege( maa baapu went to village regional function they'll come in morning)" . Sanskar in frustration say " subha tak par mujhe zaroori baat karni thi! ( what till morning but I have to talk to them!)" he sigh checking his phone for any message or call , Ragini breath out and slowly take small steps towards him . She came to khaat and start massaging his feet sitting on her knees , Sanskar jerk and ask her folding his legs " yeh—yeh kya kar rahi ho ! Paair mat dabao( what—what are doing! Don't massage my feet)" , Ragini in her usual innocence ask " toh saar dabanu? Ya aap jo kahe woh kar deti hun par aap naraaj mat hoyga( so should I massage your head ? Or I do whatever you say but don't get angry on me)" . Sanskar breath out and down his tone more as he sensed she is scared and doing this to please him her maa might told her to please her husband he say " tum kuch mat karo balki yaha so jao main itna phone kar leta hoon maa ko kuch chahiye hoga toh bol dunga( you don't do anything infact you sleep here I'll call maa , if I need anything I'll tell you)" . Ragini nods and lay on khaat through she want to ask him questions but her maa said do whatever her husband say so she lay still covering her face with ghunghat. Sanskar see her still covering her face and thought it might be irritating for her face to cover like this while she sleep as net fabric is not much soothing so he slowly pull off her ghunghat and for first time both look directly in each other eyes 💖 both lost in this moment for a minute but Sanskar avert his eyes and stood up trying to make call to his mother while roaming in room for better signal .
Ragini look at him and think he's not that bad with her maybe there is a hope.....
