Knock!...Knock!
Slowly and reluctantly Manisha opened her eyes. A soft knock awoke her, and she blinked groggily.
"Uhh", She whimpered.
She blinked, closed her eyes again, and snuggled closer to Afsa. Her hand was placed around Afsa above Abhishek's hand.
Knock!...Knock!
She heard someone knocking on the door, again.
"Yaaaar", she muttered in annoyance and sat up as she had no other option. In this way, Afsa will wake up due to the continuous knocking. She took quick steps towards the door and opened it to see who was there.
"Haa bolo", Manisha kept a hand on her mouth and yawned.
"Manisha di dadi told me to give you this", Laila said. Manisha quizzically looked at the things in Laila's hand.
"Abhishek vai's mother sent these things for him", Laila explained.
She moved her gaze towards the wall clock which said "7:33". Her eyes widened with the realization.
"Oh no he is late, Kal Raat ko kaha tha ak important meeting hai EEL/ELS yaad nahi Kya Keh Raha tha", she mumbled worriedly.
She hastily took Abhishek's meeting attire and car keys from Laila and closed the door behind her.
"Abhishek....woke up", she bent slightly and said in a low voice.
"You are getting late for work", she lightly tapped on his arm but he didn't budge at all.
"ABHISHEK YOU ARE GETTING LATE FOR WORK", she whisper yelled but didn't saw any progress.
"Muje kehthay hain k mein ghorhay bech kar sothi hun aap apna haal dekhe zara ", she huffed.
She looked at the wall clock again and heaved a sigh. She couldn't use the traditional way to wake him up because throwing water on him would disturb Afsa's sleep as well. Suddenly an idea popped up into her mind.
"You asked for it by yourself Mr. Abhishek", She grabbed his hand, took his two fingers in her mouth, and bit them.
"Ahhh", Abhishek hissed and sat down spontaneously. He seemed terrified. He moved his eyes towards Manisha.
"What was that?", He narrowed his eyes.
She pursed her lips and cooly pointed her finger towards the wall clock. "Just look at the time", she said.
Dazed, he looked at the wall clock, it was 7:45. His eyes flew open.
"GOD", he muttered. He threw the comforter aside, picked up his clothes, and ran towards the bathroom. Manisha sat down in his place, arranged the comforter over Afsa, and the pillows around her both sides. Abhishek opened the washroom door and came inside the room.
"I'm very late, I was supposed to reach there at 8 o'clock", He picked up a tie in his hands.
"I"ll do that. In the meantime, you can wear your shoes", She offered. He handed her the tie without any tantrum, picked up his shoes, and sat down on the chair.
"Aap bhi ghorhay bech kar so ty hain", She said while tying the tie around his neck.
"Badla lay rahi ho", He replied and buckled up his shoe.
"Uhhuu....why will I take the revenge?", she said, her eyes fixed on the tie. "I'm just stating the fact", she shrugged.
"It's the consequences of your bad influence",
Manisha looked at him seriously. She pushed the knot of the tie with a force, closer to his neck and left it.
He coughed and loosened the tie around his neck."Are you planning to kill me?",
