Recap: Sid and Yami inaugurate their new cafe and the very first day they receive a good response from the customers.
*************************************
Sid returned home soon after Vimal had entered his room. Yami let him to refresh and walked into the kitchen to heat the food for him and she set the table. Sid and Vimal both reached the dining and Yami served dinner for them and served herself.
Vim: How was your day Sid ?
Sid: hmm good…thanks
Yami: Where is Nivedha ? Should I keep some food for her ?
Vim: No, she must be busy so don’t worry. She can take care of her afterall.
Yami watched Vimal’s face which was void of any emotions. She felt bad for him..
Sid: Yami….its not your job to check if everyone are fed at home…I don’t want you to wait for me too. Have your dinner and sleep. Once I m home I will take care of myself.
Yami: Shut up Idiot…this is home and at home we care for everyone. Don’t be a buffalo and grow horns or a porcupine with…..
Sid: Ewww..stop it Yami…you are speaking of your handsome husband..
Yami: Handsome ? where …where….
Sid: you witch..wait and watch ..
Yami: Witch..watch…you said a rhyming word Sid…wowww you have improved now..
Vimal watched them as they continued bickering. After dinner Sid and Yami together placed the dishes back in kitchen and returned to their room. Vimal who was watching everything sat on the couch with his mobile trying to reach Nivedha for the upteemth time.
Sid and Yami were set to sleep but Yami sat leaning on the headboard.
Yami: Sid, I seriously want you to fix things with your brother. Can’t you see his worries ?
Sid: Its not like what you think Yami…
Yami: Then why can’t you talk to him Sid. Lets say if Vimal and I got married and he found his love for Nivedha later what would have happened to me ? Atleast he found that we are not compatible before the marriage and things are not fucked up.
Sid: Hey stop cursing
Yami: Fine Sorry, slip of the tongue…Sid, I feel something wrong. He looks worried, may be something happened between him and Nivedha. He looks like feeling lonely.
Sid: What nonsense Yami, they got married out of interest and what problem could be there between them ? Even if there is a problem then we shouldn’t be interfering in that. Its a problem between husband and a wife and they should fix it.
Yami: If there was no wedding arrangements between Vimal and me and he got married to someone else or Nivedha and had problem would you have still reacted the same as you do now ?
Sid: He shouldn’t have done that with you…I just couldn’t get myself to forgive anyone who got to hurt you.
Yami: Am I more important than your own family that you couldn’t forgive him ?
Sid gritted his teeth feeling frustrated he raked his fingers through his hair and moved out of the bed to the balcony. Yami stood behind him.
Sid: You know the answer Yami but you intend to hurt me by asking that question. I love my family but that doesn’t mean I could stand watching you being hurt by them.
Yami: But he didn’t hurt me Sid, he just backed off before he could hurt me so he only saved me.
Sid: Don’t get me wrong Yami, I have never questioned you this ever but today I want an answer….Did you have the crush on Vimal when you agreed to marry him ?
Yami: Sid, you know me very well and I don’t hide anything from you. That crush was in the past when I was in school which died in few months. I had never felt anything for him idiot. why cant you accept this ? I have told you many time about this. He is nothing to me.
Yami screamed at him and turned to leave but Sid caught her wrist and stopped her. He saw tears from her eyes and instantly wiped them cupping her face.
Sid: Hey Yami, I m so sorry…I did not meant to hurt you please Yami stop crying…fine you want answer right then listen I thought you liked him and I made a mistake in supporting this proposal which hurt you. I feel ashamed on myself that I was the reason behind everything. Its my guilt that is stopping me. If I had not taken this proposal seriously then may be vimal might have not been in guilt too so I m the reason everyone’s suffering.
He cried and Yami hugged him wrapping her hands around his torso. Sid hugged her crushing her in his embrace as he sobbed letting out his guilt and mumbled sorry non stop.
Yami: shhh stop crying Sid…no one is at fault. Its just you need to stop blaming yourself and talk to him. We know that how introvert he is and he won’t share his problem with anyone. If not we then who will care for him ?
Sid: We will do ….Are you happy Yami ? I will do anything to keep you happy….
Yami Mv: Love me Sid…I will be the happiest person to get all your love..
Yam: I m very happy execpt being stuck with an idiot for a life time otherwise I m happy with my best friend. I love you Sid….
Sid curled his fingers into fist on hearing the words which felt like a spark to him. Sudden realization being in the most intimate hug hit both of them. Yami closed her eyes, bit her lips and curled her toes feeling his heartbeat. Sid was no less, he inhaled the fragrance of her hair that hit his nostrils. Feeling her soft mounds against his chest made him gulp and his palms around her curvy figure made him feel hot. The heaving of her chest against his made blood rush to his pelvic region.
He could feel the changes in him and before she could get to know he pulled back the hug.
Sid: Nature’s call…you sleep good night..
He rushed into the washroom without waiting for reply and saw the tightness in his pant. He stood before the mirror and splashed water on his face again and again to erase the feel from his mind but it betrayed him and he couldn’t get over the feel of her body against him which only turned him on more.
Sid: Stop it man, just stop it…
Sid Mv: But she is your wife and nothing wrong in feeling her and admiring her.
Sid: No, she will feel betrayed if she knows my dirty thoughts about her.. I shouldn’t do this…
He removed his clothes and stood under the cold shower to calm his hormones. Yami was sweating inspite of being the AC room. She touched her heart that was still beating eratically. She couldn’t stop the smile thinking of their hug. She inhaled his cologne on her shirt that was still lingering from the hug.
Yam: Ippo edhukku shower sound varudhu ? ( Why does the shower sound at this time ?)
Yami: Yami, go sleep before facing him and getting embarrassed..
She pulled the duvet over her face and closed her eyes. After a long shower Sid entered the room and laid at a safe distance from her.
Morning everyone was at the dining table except for Nivedha. Yami and Madhuri served breakfast for everyone and saw Vimal busy checking his e mails.
Madh: Vimal, where is Nivedha ? She is not joining for breakfast ?
Vim: She left early for some work maa.
Madh: I will call her. She should not skip food because of work. Atleast you should take care of her. Next time inform me if she had to leave early I will cook something before she would leave.
Sid: Maa, me and Yami will leave early from tomorrow but don’t stress cooking for us. We will take care at the cafe.
Vis: How was your first day Sid ?
Sid: more than what I expected paa…We are having customers all time. We can expect more customer coming days. Infact we have received orders for gifts too. Yami will return early to complete those orders.
Madh: Tell me if I can do something to help you both ?
Yam: Nothing maa, we will take care. Just teach me to cook something simple please.
Madh: Why ? I m here to do that you both carry on with your work.
Yam: no maa, I want to learn cooking…
Madhu agreed and soon Sid and Yami left to their cafe and Vimal left to his office. Yami received couple of more orders for her craft goft items and decided to return hom to complete them. Sid had booked a cab for her. An hour later Navin and Parth reached the cafe and Sid was busy attending the customers yet gave a smile to them and informed them to wait for sometime. After delivering the orders Sid returned to the kitchen where Navin and Parth were waiting for him. They were gritting their teeth looking at Sid and glaring at him.
Sid: Ennada achu…( What happened man ?) Why are you both now looking at me like that ? Come lets have some tea, I m tired too.
Before he could speak further Parth took a quick step and next moment Sid stumbled when Parth gave a strong blow on his jaw. Again before he could stabilize Navin slapped him hard holding his collars while Sid looked at them in shock for giving him such a treatment.
