*Jalte Diye*   (Burning Lamp)


The Diwali preparations were going on in full swing in KM. From lightings nd decors to sweets nd savouries everything was set. Every nook nd corner of the mansion gave an enchanting view. Family members, servants,keepers and even the air in the big mansion were equally excited nd thrilled to celebrate their first Diwali with their Lakshmi..their new bride and pride of the skilled young businessman Shaurya Khanna who is demented by her love. Mrs. Mehak Shaurya Khanna was not less than an angel for them. She was a supreme combination of beauty, simplicity nd values. An ideal daughter in law, perfect wife, dutiful daughter, loving sibling..above all the owner of a selfless and pure heart. The only reason for Shaurya's existence. The only one to define him. The only one to complete him. Six months of marriage was never less than a risky adventurous ride for them. They were bound by the string of love since she was declared the runner up of India's super cook. The ruthless businessman nd manipulator in Shaurya played with her emotions nd left her in the altar. Though she had million reasons to hate him she was always in search for at least a trace of love in his heart. She succeeds finally when the man himself confesses his love for her. Still destiny nd dear ones kept them apart. Her heart melts before his unconditional love when her name was etched on his wounded chest. The consequent chains of Never-ending obstacles,hurdles and challenges could never break them apart. Destiny still played its dirty game on the auspicious day of their marriage. Marriage resembled a cobweb for them. Their love -hate relationship got revamped. Still they faced every situation together being one another's support. They fought with each other for their family nd dear ones. Literally they lived for others and forgot nd failed to mend their relation. Their selfless love for their beloved ones bit reduced the strength of their sacred married life. After much sufferings, pain and separation..they were finally able to bring back their lives to normal. Forgetting all those irrelevant and worst experiences of their past they took a fresh start for their relation. Shaurya and Mehak literally experienced the worth nd beauty of their married life after almost 5months of their marriage. The two love birds started beautifully exploring each other. Their eyes spoke volumes than their words. Their gestures personified their beautiful souls. Their love grew stronger, deeper and selfless. Getting separated from each other was something that they couldn't tolerate. Nothing could pacify their impatient souls then. Though everything had a smooth run...one major missing was Shaurya's absence during most of the festivals. They hardly get a chance to celebrate a festival together. It is ironical that being mere strangers they celebrated their first Karvachauth...but officially Mrs Mehak didn't get a chance to celebrate her first karvachauth with her husband.
Even today, when the whole mansion was ready for the festival of lights...Mehek didn't have that glow on her face. She was upset as she read her hubby's message that he"ll not be celebrating Diwali with her as he's still stuck in his meeting.she cursed herself for being so unlucky.As she's busy pondering about the evening she receives an invitation from her beloved ones for the celebrations. Her face lit up as she gets excited to meet her family members and celebrate with them.without wasting a single second she rushes out of the room, gets permission from her mother in law and leaves to SN promising to be back in an hour. With immeasurable excitement she reaches SN and gets busy with the celebrations.
Meanwhile Shaurya reaches KM with a bundle of gift packets. All get surprised to learn that he lied to Mehak about his meeting. He happily announces as he's all set to celebrate with them. Without having a word with any one he rushes to his bedroom with the gifts for his lady love. He gets worried as he finds her missing. His blood boils when he learns from his buttler that she's at her place nd will be back in an hour. His anger rose as she didn't bother to inform him before hand. Though he never gets angry with her..still he was annoyed this time. He resembled a child who is all worried as someone snatched his favourite toy. He was way more possessive about her. He wished to be the one nd only one receiver of her unconditional love. The one having the privilege of being loved and cared by her.His room resembled a barren desert without her. The bed sheets , curtains nd even the cushions were filled with the smell of her perfume. He was sad that his surprise plan was out of vain. His mother calls out his name umpteen times to start with the celebrations. He bangs the door in full anger showing his least interest without his better half. He gets into his nightwear nd tosses away all the gift bags angrily. Switches off all the lights and even the candles literally bringing in darkness...as the light of his life is not with him. He gets into the bed nd stares at the shadow of the curtains cast by the moonlight on the opposite wall. Meanwhile Mehak reaches back KM as she learns about his homecoming and the fiasco there after. Grabbing much strength to face the angry bird avtaar of her hubby she heads towards their room. She enters sneakily turning the door knob nd locks the door behind her. She slowly switches the lights on and is flabbergasted to receive a deathly glare from her hubby who was constantly rubbing his eyes when the bright light enters his dim lit pupils. She apologises to him. While he reciprocates with an annoyed angry pout. She couldn't stop herself from smiling as he looked too cute and innocent then. She was about to apologize again. But without giving her chance he switched off the lights. For few minutes the on and off game continued...he controlled the bed switch while she the master switch. She got actually fed up with his on off game and accepts her defeat and somehow manages to get seated on the couch. She huffs while he gets busy still keenly observing the shadow. She was pondering about one way or the other to have a patch up with him. And thus her eyes caught up the gift bags. She gets elated to see them. With the dim moonlight she couldn't see the contents of the packets. She slowly gets up nd gets into the washroom after grabbing all the packets. She closely examined the gifts one by one. Her eyes glittered as she saw an elegant designer black coloured saree with matching ornaments. She felt bad for him as she had spoiled his surprise plan. She thought of seeking his apology nd dressed up to his desire. For once she was lost in herself as she saw her image in the mirror. She looked more beautiful when being dressed up for him. Everytime she was nervous nd equally excited like a newlywed. She slowly comes out the washroom nd stands there as of presenting him a view. Though the room was dimly lit Shaurya was in-between monitoring her movements nd but still pretended to be least bothered and unaffected. He could vaguely capture her image as she was draped in that elegant saree with sparkling jewelleries. She knew it is much difficult to pacify her stubborn hubby but was not impossible. She thinks for a while with a winning smile and disappears from his sight leaving him puzzled.
Shaurya's eardrums vibrate endlessly as he hears her voicing a song.Her voice was sweeter than a fresh drop of nectar.well this time it had a sensuous touch too.His curiosity sidelines his stubbornness nd he turns to have a look.
Aaj Agar Milan Ki Raat Hoti...(If tonight would be the night of our meet)
Jaane Kya Baat Hoti... (Then it would be really grand)
Toh Kya Baat Hoti...(It would be really grand)
Shining like a star in the moonlit sky.she's lighting lamps and candles in the balcony. Her eyes shone as she ignites the matchsticks. She gives him a catchy look with her doe shaped eyes as she blows off the matchstick. For a moment his vision freezes seeing the aura emanating from her. He slowly lifts his head and rests it on his palm. A heart-warming smile appears on his lips as he hears her ...
Sunte Hai Jab Pyar Ho Toh Diye Jal Uthte Hain(I've heard that when one falls in love, lamps start igniting)
Tann Mein, Mann Mein, Aur Nayan Mein, Diye Jal Uthte Hain(In the body, in the heart, in the eyes, lamps start igniting)
She slowly stood up lighting all the lamps in order.Her enticing features nd well toned curves feasting his eyes.
Aaja Piya Aaja, Aaja Piya Aaja Ho...(Come my beloved, come my beloved)
Aaja Piya Aaja, Tere Hi Tere Hi Liye, Jalte Diye(Come my beloved, only for Your sake, these lamps are burning)
She sings and turns to give him a look with her love filled eyes. Accepting her invitation he gets up from the bed and nears the balcony with his eyes filled with desire. He swiftly nears her while she keeps on changing her position, to drive him crazy.
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, Zindagaani (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein...(I want to spend my life in your shade)
With the brisk movement of the winds few of the lamps flicker. Both of them rushes to cover a lamp with their palms in unison.They both get lost as they share a deep intense eye lock. Shaurya burns his hand and winces..breaking their trance. She gets worried and blows air onto his fingers.And wipes his blackened palm with the pallu of her saree. His inner voice recites the upcoming lines of the song...
Kabhi Kabhi, Kabhi Kabhi, Aise Diyon Se, Lag Hai Jaati Aag Bhi(Sometimes due to these lamps, fires can also erupt)
His eyes gestures her to stop worrying. And closely examines the ends of her saree.
Dhule Dhule Aanchalon Pe, Lag Hai Jaate Daag Bhi(On clean clothes, stains are bound to come)
Hai Veeraanon Mein Badalte, Dekhe Mann Ke Baag Bhi(Even the gardens of the heart can turn into barren lands)
He caresses her palm and places it near his heart.She slows runs her palms onto his bearded cheeks and turns in full swing as her wavy hair brushes his face. She moves and arranges the lamps in order. He accompanies her and covers the lamp with his palm.while she stops him assures the longitivity of the lamps as she sings...
Sapno Mein Shringaar Ho Toh, Diye Jal Uthte Hain(If one's dreams are decorated, lamps start igniting)
Khwaahison Ke Aur Sharam Ke, Diye Jal Uthte Hain(Of desires and modesty, lamps start igniting)
With a slight blush nd precious smile she handovers a lamp and asks him to light it up...
Aaja Piya Aaja, Tere Hi Tere Hi Liye, Jalte Diye(Come my beloved, only for Your sake, these lamps are burning)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, Zindagaani (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein...(I want to spend my life in your shade)
She blushed deep red while singing the last lines. She blinks her eyes to hide her embarassment. She enters their room and switches on the lights. He too follows her like a predator. Sensing his proximity she kneels on the couch and closely observes the burning lamps through the large window. He too climbs up on the couch and envelops her in his arms from back. He keeps on nuzzling her neck nd collar bone while she melts in his touches nd glues her palms on to the window pane. Her focus never shifts nd he gets impatient. He gently bites her earlobe and whispers pointing towards the balcony...
Mera Nahi, Mera Nahi Hai Woh Diya Jo, Jal Raha Hai Mere Liye(The lamp that is burning for me isn't for me)
Meri Taraf Kyun Yeh Ujaale Aaye Hain Inko Rokiye(Why is the light/glow directed towards me, stop it please)
He keeps on teasing her with his sweet tortures while she ruffles his hair unable to withstand the heat of the moment.
Yun Begaani Roshni Mein, Kab Talak Koi Jiye(In this strange light, till how long should one live)
He slides the curtains shielding the balcony view. He moves her wavy hair and kisses her back. She moans as he places feather kisses on her back. He turns her to face him. Her heavy breaths falling on his face. He gestures her to continue the song while lifting her chin up. She denies as she has completely melt in his desire. He pulls her waist with full force as if their lips are on the verge of collision with each other. He closes his eyes feeling the moment. Sensing his breath on her upper lips, she sings...
Saanson Mein Jhankaar Ho Toh, Diye Jal Uthte Hain(If there's a melody in the breath, lamps start igniting)
Jhaanjharon Mein Kanganon Mein, Diye Jal Uthte Hain(In the tinkling of the anklets and bracelets, lamps start igniting )
She stops singing further. She tries to get up slowly patting his cheek. As she moves,she's pulled back to him." I missed you "...he whispers as his arms cages her possessively.She apologized him struggling with words as it was not easy to be in the clutches of her possessive hubby. "usually we used to light lamps in diwali..but here something else is burning..right Shaurya"...she asked in her teasing tone when she caught some breath."You are only mine,only mine...I can't afford to lose you and I won't let anyone to have a share of your love"...he voiced possessively tightly holding her and nuzzling her neck.He took a deep relaxing breath his nostrils sniffed her feminine cologne.Happy Diwali dear wifey..he said as he swiftly raised her feet above the ground and swung her.She had a heavenly feeling when he swayed her.Her soft curls roamed all over his face. She let out a gasp to suppress the ongoing butterfly effect in her tummy. Both of them were startled by the loud noise of burning crackers. Mehak rushed to the balcony like an excited child,while he followed her.she points the firecrackers on the sky.he rests his chin on her shoulder and securely holds her. She insists to go down and celebrate with their family members. Paying no heed to her words he lifts her up and heads towards the bedroom. He gently places her on the huge bed. She questions about his plan. While she's shushed by him as he sensuously recites the last lines of the song..
Aaja Piya, Hmm... Jalte Diye(Come my beloved, these lamps are burning)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein, Zindagaani (I want to spend my life in your shade)
Bitaani Tere Saaye Mein, Saaye Mein...(I want to spend my life in your shade)
She pouts innocently as a naughty glint appears on his eyes and naughty smile plays on his lips. Happy Diwali sweetheart..he voices in a predator's tone with a sheepish smile..nd slowly bends to capture her soft petals..while switching off the lights.
