Scene #4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anuj was the first to wake up. It still seemed surreal to him, to find the love of his life so close to him, this beautiful soul, snuggling and hugging his frame. He would never stop wondering and thanking God for this blessing, he thought..and never stop loving her..
His Annu looked ethereal, he shook her arm gently. She snuggled more tight, "ummm , sone dijiye na Anuuj," she mumbled incoherent words, he had to get closer to her to understand, "aaj subah bhi aapne sone nahi diya.. "
He chuckled pleasantly, so he had worn out his petite wife... planting smouldering kisses along her jaw line.. he whispered in her ears.. "uth jao Biwi, "
When she opened her eyes slowly, he apologised, "sorry, agar Devu nahi aa rahi hoti toh tumhe nahi jagaata.. "
She smiled, "koi baat nahi.."
"and sorry once again.."
"Kyu..?"
"Woh..maine subah tumhe sone nahi diya na.." he winked.
When he suggested they change clothes, she asked,
"Waise, kapde kyu badalne hain? Hum bahar toh nahi jaane wale kahi.."
He held her shoulders and took her in front of the dressing mirror...she just gasped looking at the state of their crumpled clothing.. their afternoon 'siesta' had been the culprit..
When she took out a fresh set of clothes for self, he pulled her towards him and placed his shirt in her hands. Opening his arms, "pehnaa do please.." he said.
Shy at first and tongue n cheeky next, without breaking their eye contacts, Anu unbuttoned the shirt.. gingerly roving her hands over his chest, pulling off the shirt, she moved her gaze intently at his magnificent torso. He pushed himself closer to her so much that she could feel his breaths on her face.. unable to take the pressure anymore she placed a few kisses on his chest that in turn followed a trail of more kisses from him...
She didn't know how and when she made him wear his shirt. But somehow she had.. all she was aware, was of his hands on her..
Taking his own sweet time, Anuj 'helped' her wear the saree. His hands that roamed leisurely over her curves, brushing her bare waist, tucking in the plaits, trailing his fingers further to her navel to make invisible patterns, these sensual ministrations were creating a havoc in Anu.. clutching his arms.. "Anuuuj...." she begged him for a release and he was only happy to oblige..
Just as they had changed, Anu's mobile shrilled in the silence..
"Arey mere lovebirds, tumhara ho gaya ho toh.. "
"Devikaaa.." Anu scolded..
"Aa rahe hain neeche Miss KMH.. shaanti rakh zara.." Anuj retorted and cut the call before she could tease them more..
Hand in hand they went downstairs to be engulfed in a group hug by their bestie..
Devika shrilled.. " Finally aa gaye!! Btw..yeh KMH kya hain..zara batayenge shayar ji? "
"Ji madam.. KMH is kabaab mein haddi.. jo tu hain", Anuj rolled his eyes..
"Oye mister, kitna besharam hain, iss haddi ki wajah se tumhari pyar ki kahani aagey badhi hain samjhe!.. ", Devika slapped his arm.
Their nok-jhok and snacks done.. Devika said, "Okay ab zara serious baat kare. I have some important work which you both have to do.. "
"Oh mere pyaare bhaai aur bhabhi..!!!" Mukku's voice boomed on the video call that Devika had made, "I have booked an appointment with my counsellor for you two. So you both have to go for one session at least."
Both of them were surprised at first, but then Mukku chipped, "this is important, you both have a history of trauma, panic attacks. And I want you to be stress free as you start your marital life.
A few healing sessions will do wonders for you both.. Aur kuch nahi toh pre-marital counselling samajhlo. But please mana nahi karna..love you my babies.." she had disconnected the call. She did not even wait for any of them to reply back.
Devika encouraged them further. "Mukku sahi keh rahi hain yaar.. try karke dekh le."
Anuj looked at Anu. "Kya kare?"
"Waise mujhe koi problem lagti toh nahi, lekin Mukku aur Devu itna zor dey rahi hai toh chalte hain Anuuj."
"That's like my girl Anu, always trying and working to make her relations better", Devika cheered her.
Devika gave them the appointment details, it was the same counsellor who had helped Mukku. Later she asked Anu to take her to their room, while Anuj went to inform GK and then get the car out.
Anu, "Kya hua, tujhe yaha kyu ana tha.. "
Devika handed her a few gift boxes, "meri taraf se teri shaadi ka gift.."
"Yeh jaroori hain kya?"
"Absolutely Anu..Raat ko dekhna.. abhi tera makeup box dikha zara.. "
Anu showed her the drawer. Devika took out a consealer tube and handed it to Anu..
"Yeh kya? "
Devika silently pointed a few prominent hickeys that were showing off themselves on Anu's neck.. "yeh chhupane ke liye idiot..", burst out laughing.. "no wonder tum dono itni der baad neeche aaye .."
Anu slapped Devika on the arm before she turned red in embarassment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ride back from the counsellor was a silent one. While Anu was happy they had taken the session, Anuj was lost in his thoughts. He recalled the session.
They were given a questionare form to fill, that helped in seeing the compatibility of the couple. A few questions later.. the counsellor was beaming.
"I have never seen a more compatible couple than you two Mr. Kapadia. What's commendable is that you both are willing to work for this relation to be better and better.."
"But you both will need a few sessions to overcome past trauma. Since I had counselled your sister, I have an inkling about your past too.
We can start with you Mr. Kapadia, Anupama ji ke sessions baad mein workout karenge, as both of you will need the other's support. Of course you have to decide if you are ready for facing old wounds and heal.."
Anuj had said he will think over it and come back. He was lost in his thoughts. Though he had shared his past with Anu when Mukku had come from the US. They never had had a chance to talk about it further.
He wondered if he truly wanted to relive those memories again. Was he willing to heal..
Annu was holding his arm lightly. She silently conveyed she was with him always. "Aapka jo bhi faisla hoga, main aapke saath hu Anuuj.. hamesha hameshaa.."
Deep down he knew the answer.. he had to do it for his Annu.. and more importantly...for himself..
