My First Crush Happened To Be My Hubby! novel Chapter 26

D's PoV

After helping Chinna anna in cooking lunch, I came to my favorite spot in this house - The Swing. Shekar uncle said he will come for lunch regularly from now. How sweet of him right!? I am now surfing through some songs that will tell him how much I love him and how I feel about him. I'm folding his clothes and mine. I have to ask Ravi about the ironing board and iron box. His shirts are to be ironed. I also thought of some songs like 'mudhar kanave' (my first dream) from Majnu(a tamil movie) just to kindle my memories in his goddamn mind. 

How did I recognise him and he did not?! Shithead!

D, think with your mind. He is your first crush. He saw you in his 12th standard. Which means you may not be his first crush. You remember him because he made butterflies when you hit your puberty. He is special to you. But why should you be the same to him?

Can't you take up my side for at least an instance? You always say things which make me question my decision of marrying him. What the hell were you doing when I decided to marry him, idiot?

I tried to tell you. But you shut me out, D. You were behaving like a love-struck puppy and he had the bone. 

You are so not my mind. Get lost Mindy. I chased Mindy away, she is no good use to me.

Something tells me that he is going to come for lunch. I am still in my pjs. I haven't bathed yet. This folding can wait. I don’t wanna get embarrassed again for not bathing if he comes for lunch now.When I come after bathing it's 1.30pm already. Perfect time for lunch. But no one is home yet. Ravi too went out to meet his friends. 

I sat on the swing and resumed my song search while folding the clothes. I so wanted to see him now. He is so manly and handsome. I love him. No words can convey my love for him.

Why don’t you write a love poem for your hubby, D!? It will be romantic.

You want me to write a love letter? Are you nuts? We are married dumbhead! 

So what, D? You love him, right? 

Mmmmmm? yes, I do! But I'm not good at writing poems. I will think about it though!

I looked at his blue shirt. He looked god damn hot in this outfit. His strong arms are on display, God, he is killing me with his looks. I took his T-shirt and wore it on my salwar. I played my favorite serial title song on my phone and started listening to it, hugging myself. I mean hugging his T-shirt!

I started singing along. It’s the most lovable melody I have ever heard.

"Ullam kollai poguthada....

Un arugil, Un siripil....

Ennai Marandhen naanada....."(I lost my heart when I am near you, I forget myself in your smiles)

Rishi's PoV

I finished all my pending work. I got an order to my boutique for a bridal lehenga. I have to find the right design, color, cloth, pattern and design it. I have 2months left though. I usually don’t take any last-minute orders. I make all unique designs for my boutique. 

She is so distracting. I keep seeing her face when I close my eyes to imagine a creative design. I made a note to make a special outfit for her. All unique and beautiful. I tried hard to concentrate on the design. Nope! Not happening. I can’t design if I'm this distracted. 

Dad said he is going for lunch at home every day, starting today. Why don’t I go too? Like, I can see her. Maybe then I can concentrate on my work!?

When I got home, I heard music from upstairs. I climbed 2 steps on a go and reached at the top to see her sitting on the swing wearing my T-shirt hugging it. She was singing the song along until she saw me and when she saw me, she froze. She is so gorgeous wearing my shirt. 

The song goes on and we lock our eyes with each other. I have never heard this song before. I don’t know which movie it is from. But the song is beautiful. It feels like she is singing it to me!  Never in my life have I ever listened to the lyrics of a song like I do now. The lyrics are heart melting.

We broke our trance when the song got over. She is still sitting on the swing looking at me in the eye while I started walking towards her.
