Scene: Anuj-Anupama's wedding night
I wished for them talk about their comfort level on their big night. Plus, I felt there was a weird aloofness in the following morning scene. So, wrote an alternative that wished to see.... serving up from la la land 😳
Wrapping up the grand celebrations, the sun plunged down in the sky, tossing flame and shadows. Surrounded in the last flames of sunset that had warmed the room, the exquisite moment had arrived.
Anuj: I know you are tired
Anu: nods in negative.
Anuj: clears his throat, traces his finger along her cheeks and says "agar tum chaho toh…" lets the sentence trail off
Anu: looking at him quizzically "chaaho toh…? Kya?"
Anuj: Holds her hands, looks up around the room and tells – "agar tum yaha change karna chahti ho toh… mein…" points towards the door.
Anu: toh aap?
Anuj: mein bahar chala jaata hoon, tum yaha aaram se reh sakti ho…
Anu: Nahi, aap kahi nahi jaayenge😳
Anuj: he smiles. Silence hung for a long moment, each measuring the other until he says "ek minute… " then walks towards the cupboard and brings a gift box and places it on her hand "ye tumhare liye…" signals her to open it.
Anu: opens it, sees a beautiful creamy white night dress. She runs her hands over it lovingly. Looks at him sadly and says – "mujhe aise kapdo ki aadat nahi hai… bohot ajeeb lagta hai" 😲
Anuj: smiles at her, takes the box and stashes it away. Holds her hands and says … "I know. Mujhe pata hai tum comfortable nahi ho. Mein tumhe force nahi karoonga…. "
Bends down to meet her eyes to ensure his words have given her assurance. Emphasizes " Samjhi?"
Anu: Nods in agreement, continues to stare at him.
Anuj: Rises his eyebrows as if asking if she is convinced with his motives.
Anu: runs into his arms, borrowing her face in his wide chest.
Moments later, she lifts her head up to meet his eyes, smiles shyly, holds his hands, and brings them around her waist forcing him to embrace her.🤗
Anuj: smiles at her and raises his eyebrows quizzically as if asking if she feels comfortable
Anu: Suddenly, his seductive scent washes over melting her skin. A rush of passion defined mostly by need overpowers and she clings against him.❤️
Anuj: He’d assumed his fantasies of her would be exaggerated as so many fantasies are. But she was here, flesh and blood. He was lost in her. Utterly, irresistibly lost in her.😳
Anu: It was too late of choices. There was no room for shyness in this airless, spinning world.
His muscular arms and brute strength now channeled into unimagined gentleness, as he traced his hands over her curves. Her flesh warmed with his touch.❤️😳
A tribute to love, tears rolled down her cheeks, lump in her throat eclipsed her voice when she softly said his name. In one long possessive stare he staked a claim. Their emotion was an irresistible riptide that swept them away into glory, contentment beyond words.❤️❤️
Intoxicated in passion, she slept in shadowed light. The first rays of sunrise streamed through the sheer curtains piercing her eyes. Struggling to open her eyes, she looks around props up on the bed with a startle. She hears faint footsteps and soon sees him walk towards her with a tray bringing tea.
Seeing him smile at her reminds her of the passionate night they had shared, heat rises to her cheeks.
Anu: Struggling to hide her embarassment, she manages to mumble… "mein …. aap…mein … suri suri…. aankh lag gayi.. " and tries to get out of bed.😲
Anuj: sets the tray on the bedside table, holds her back in place and says "koi baat nahi Anu. Itna toh kar sakta hoon na tumhare liye.." and flicks his eyebrow.
Anu: Speechless, merely nods her head agreeing, quickly adds " ab tak kaka bhi jaag gaye honge….pata nahi mein kaise … kaka kya sochenge… kal mein jaldi alarm lagake.."
Anuj: "Calm down. Kaka kuch nahi kahenge. Tumhe jaldi uthne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai..."
Anu. Keeps nodding her head, still in disbelief.😔
Anuj: Hands her a cup of tea, and says "aaram se chai piyo,aur jab tum tayyar hoke neeche aaoge, hum saath mein breakfast karenge."
Anu: feeling guilty & nervous, she chokes on her tea, yells "matlab, aapne nastha bhi banaya?"😲
Anuj: haan. Mein jaanta hoon, tumhe rasoi mein kaam karna achcha lagta hai. par, tumhare liye ye ghar naya hai. Iss ghar ka, rasoi ka aadat lagne mein thoda waqt lagega. Usske baad agar tum chaho toh....
Anu: continues to look at him in disbelief, guilt ridden😳
Anuj: "ye bhi ek tarah ka romance hota hai. You know? being there for each other ..." 😉 seeing her expressionless face drained of color, pauses and asks " kya hua..?"
Anu: she nods her head in negative, clears off the tear that is struggling to break free.
Anuj: "iss ghar mein tumhe koi taana nahi marega, tumhare marzi ke bina kuch bhi nahi karna hoga."
Anu: She lets the tears roll down her cheeks
Anuj: shakes his head and says, "itni choti baat ke liye kyun pareshaan hoti ho? " Comes close and plant a kiss on her cheeks
Anu: moves, cups his face, and locks her lips with his. Closing her eyes, she melts like fire on ice.
At last, she knew what it was to be in love, to be loved and to be wanted beyond reason.😳😳❤️
Thus began her journey into a world that promised bottomless hope and joy despite the strain that clouded her mind. ❤️

Of late the episodes are leaving a bad taste in my mind. Hence I am unable to write anything decent. Hope this nugget made sense. Aisa hota toh...? let me know by commenting.
