A D V I K

After driving Ritika to her bank, I arrived at the place where I have found my peace. It's new and lonely, but somehow it fills a part of me. Maybe dreaming was worth everything, because now I stand here- cooking, waiting, watching the rare customers who still walk in, and happiness washes over me.

I sighed and sat on one of the sofas, as the place was empty, and dreamed about the future or maybe fed myself delusions, of how in future this space will fill up, and I will hire other chefs. 

"Excuse me?" A voice fell in my ear, and I stood.

"Yes?" I asked softly.

She looked around and whispered," This place is so beautiful. Is it new?"

I smiled," Yes."

And added," Would you like to order anything?"

She thought for a minute before slipping onto the sofa and spoke, "Can I see the menu?"

"Sure," I replied, feeling happy and handed her the menu.

She glanced at it and asked," You cook Russian, too?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then I would like to have Vareniki with potato & mushroom filling." She said, looking at me, a smile appeared on her face.

"Sure, ma'am. I will bring it to you in twenty minutes."

She nodded and I went to the kitchen, boiling potatoes, mushrooms and preparing dough and lost myself in it, a smile always on my face.

"Here it is." I served her the dish.

She smelled it and closed her eyes in delight, filling my heart with joy.

I was about to go and give her privacy, but her words made me step back," Can you sit here?"

"Uh? uhm sorr-" before I could deny, she interrupted," It's so delicious."

"Thank you," I muttered.

"There are no customers except me?"

"No, we just recently opened."

"Oh, there is someone else?"  She said while taking a bite of it.

"Uhm, I mean my wife and me," I smiled, fondness pulling at my lips as I thought of Ritika.

She choked on her food," You have a wife?"

I smiled," Yep, I do."

"Uhm, sorry, actually I thought you were single."

"Oh, no worries, enjoy your food, ma'am," I said and made my way to the kitchen.

Sighing, I messaged her," Got another customer and cooked Russian! And she loved it."

Her reply came within minutes, "Good, but she? You both are alone??"

A smile pulled on my face as I sensed her jealousy, and video called her, it rang for a moment until she accepted my call, a smile appearing on my face as her face came into view.

"Guess what, wifey? We are not alone now, you third-wheeled us." I teased.

She made a fake angry face and teased back," Husband, you disturbed me, I was having my time, staring at a handsome guy."

I rolled my eyes," I bet you were staring at my picture, wife."

"Baby, who is feeding you delusions?" She frowned, pointing at me.

"Maybe Ritika Bansal?" I questioned.

A smile broke on her face," Advii"

Before I could reply, a voice interrupted us, and I stepped outside to see that the girl was now standing and staring at her phone, but then looked at me.

She glanced at the phone in my hand and then said," I hope you succeed, you are a great cook."

A smile lit up on my face, and I nodded," Thank you."

"Well, UPI?" She asked.

"Oh sure." I gave her the QR code, and she paid and went away.

"So proud of you, husband." She spoke.

"Thank you, wife." I smiled.

"Okay, bye. Now I have to go." She said while giving me a flying kiss, and I captured it and waved her goodbye.

"So, how was your day?" I asked, taking her in my lap.

"It was okayish?" She spoke, wrapping her hands around my neck.

I nodded while caressing the side of her waist," I see."

She hummed and pressed her head on my chest, listening to the heartbeat that is racing because of her, for her.

"You know? My mother's phone came today." 

I stiffened but asked," What was she saying?"

"She was asking if we were okay, and told me that he is still being grumpy but will melt in a few days." She replied against my chest.

I nodded, caressing her head, "What do you think, will he?"

"I don't know Advik. I don't want to talk about him." She said while her eyes closed.

"Okay." I replied, and then to soften the tension, I added," You know the girl who came today was shocked when I told her I am married."

Her gaze shot up, and she looked at me," Was she flirting with you??"

I smiled," She asked me to sit with her, but when I started denying, she cut me off."

Her mouth opened, "Oh?"

"And then after I told her, I have a wife, who is so adorable, possessive, and I am hers." I teased.

"Liar!" she scrunched her nose.

"I mean, I did tell her, I have a wife." I chuckled when she glared at me.

"So romantic, are we?"

"I am for my pretty Ritika,"  I spoke and clashed my lips against hers.

Her hands around my neck pulled me closer, while my hands roamed under her top, caressing her soft skin.

Our lips synced with our heartbeats.

I pinched her milky waist, making her moan, and thrusted my tongue inside her mouth.

Our tongues collided, sending a shiver down my spine.

And I lost myself completely in her mouth that tasted like mint, spicy and mine.
