Part 4

Sai was as usual running behind Savi holding her glass of milk in her hands. Savi saw her coming and hid in her nanu's room. While Sai kept calling her but couldn't find her, she guessed Savi must be in guest room with Virat. Sai marched towards the room angrily and pushed opened the door only to be embarrassed seeing Virat changing his clothes. 
He was getting ready for the day. He had just wore his uniform pants when Sai barged in. For the few seconds Sai kept looking at his bare upper body then realizing what she was doing she turned around immediately. 
"I...am...sorry ....I should have knocked first..." Sai stammered nervously.

Virat kept looking at her as he didn't know why her reaction hurt him. "Its ok, you can turn around." He said. She was behaving as if she was seeing some stranger man.

Sai thought that he had wore his shirt that's why he asked her to turn around. She turned but again immediately lowered her eyes as he was still not in his shirt. She sighed as she checked him out yet again from the corner of her eyes.
"Do you need anything?" Virat asked as he picked up the ointment from the dressing table. 
"No...I....actually....I thought Savi is here ...so I..." Sai tried to give explanation all the while looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
 "Its ok,  you don't need to give explanation and behave as if you have seen me for the first time. We are not some strangers...as far as I remember, we are still man and wife" Virat stated his opinion a little too harshly than he should have as he couldn't hide his hurt.

Sai immediately glared him forgetting the awkwardness, "Oh, so you remember that." 
"Yes, I remember that and I have no intention to forget it so easily." Virat retorted listening to her taunting. 
"Whatever!" Sai muttered and was about to go when Virat winced in pain. 
Sai turned again to see that Virat was trying to apply ointment on the back of his neck and shoulders. 
"What happened?" Sai couldn't help but ask seeing him in pain. 
"Nothing much....just neck and shoulder pain." Virat replied as he looked in the mirror to find the right spot to apply ointment. 
"Neck and shoulder pain? But you only get it when....Oh! there are still hard pillows here on the bed....I had asked Rani di to change them and place soft pillows but when did she ever listens in one time...why you were using them...you should asked me for soft pillows." Sai asked.
"Didn't want to trouble you." Virat replied. 
Now Sai glared at him. "Now who is forgetting that we are still in a relationship were such formalities doesn't matter."

Virat didn't give any reply but smiled a little at her words. He again started struggling with the ointment. Sai saw him and sighed. She went near him and took the ointment tube from his hands. 
"Let me help you." Sai said. 
"No, thanks, I'll manage." Virat refused.
 Sai rolled her eyes at him and pulled the stool in front of the dressing table gesturing him to sit there. Virat quietly sat there facing the mirror. While Sai stood behind him. She took some ointment and applied it on his neck and both the shoulders. She massaged gently with her both hands. They were this close after more than 4 years. His closeness was affecting her more than she thought. Every time she rubbed ointment, her fingers would spend few extra seconds on his shoulders. His broad shoulders luring her to slip her hands even lower every time and get as much feel as she could of those strong biceps.
