Ira had gone home to freshen up and shower. Up close, she always smelled nice. he recalled the image of her applying the lavender oil on her snow white body. Her fingers rubbed it on her slender legs."Shhh" Ira cut off his words and his imagination ...
She was not shy, just afraid he will tease her. And as she feared, he gripped his hands. Her tone was laced with irritation.
"So cool," he blurted when the cold cloth touched his body.
Once she wiped his chest and legs, she got that wipe from the box and touched his face. "You need to shave," she grumbled. The small hair p.r.i.c.ked her skin looked ugly.
"Maybe you can help me there," He joked.
"Later," she mumbled. Her reply surprised Vivan. She didn"t deny. He had to write this down and ask for her later. Maybe make a list! An evil smile spread on his face.
Though he never dressed to kill. One couldn"t find a single crease on his clothes. That man who was always seen with perfect looks didn"t shave for days. He didn"t care much about his looks as he did earlier in marriage. Those days he dressed with grandeur. From the time she got pregnant, Vivan changed a well. His habits changed.
He got up early, slept on time, ate on time. He balanced both his professional and personal life, never overworking. He who used to come home at midnight now arrived before sunset. Even his habit of smoking and drinking were gone. He got humble with people around. He tried to be a perfect role model for his kids.
The presence of a kid with the responsibility of being a dad and his lovely wife made all the changes.
"Close your eyes," Ira said with her hands climbing his face she wiped. Up close, she felt his breath on her hand. She had to admit he was more handsome than the T.V actor. Tall lean muscular he could be selected as an actor without any auditions.
G.o.d must have taken a lot of time in creating this man with the well-defined face. A single glance would make any woman fall for him.
No, he was scared of her thoughts though they were an exaggeration. Seriously every woman?
She had to protect her naive husband from the evil eye.
"Ira," Vivan"s eyelids fluttered, but he didn"t open his eye. Her hand was fixed at the same place for a long time.
Lost in her thoughts she didn"t notice. Ira held back of his head and wiped his forehead. She even got an eye bogger with her finger. the small gesture made him feel blessed.
Vivan had earlier planned to steal a kiss yet at this moment he didn"t want to disturb her and loose the warmth. With care, she wiped his entire face with a light hand careful as not t hurt him. A pleasant felling seeped in his chest. The fuzzy comfortable feeling was good as well.
After she was done, she dressed him as a kid in a Tee and got his pants.
Sometime later, the door opened, and a doctor walked in, "Morning. All good?"
"Yeah," Vivan replied.
He glanced and smiled at Ira, "Girl, How are you?"
"And you. You look all set to go. Are you so eager to leave our hospital?" the doctor saw Vivan changed the hospital clothes.
He only mentioned a discharge in the morning, and the man was ready with his casual clothes.
"Morning. How is his leg?" Ira said. Vivan had instructed the doctor not to tell that the discharge requested by him.
