Part 26:

Ram: Hum dono. You & I .Sapnay meinbhi nahi socha tha hum...

Priya: Hum dono yu kareeb aayengey?

Ram: Opposites Attract!

Priya: Abb mujhe neechey utarney dijiye, otherwiseaapko sacchi mein backache ho jayega?

Ram: Lekin ussey peheley…let's grab this opportunity. (Bringing his face closer to hers) 'Thanks' nahi kahogi?

Priya: I knew it ….beena matlab kay toh aap kuch kaam karogey nahi.

Ram: Roz roz thodi tumhey aise apani baahon mein lenay ka mauka milta hain, balki tumney khudhe samneyse 'Thanks Giving' karna chahiye tha.

He bends down his head to capture her lips with his lips. Before she would make an effort to bring her lips closer by bringing her face up, his lips reach the target hastily. She closes her eyes, covering his lips briskly with hers. She finds the cuteness in his desperation. Her fingers which were wrapping tightly at the back of his neck till now, loose their grip and start running through his hairs playfully. Priya's born-naughtiness triggers an idea; she decides to check his forbearance. Ram's lips tenderly move against her yet closed soft lips. He knows, sometimes those lips would tease him like ready to bloom closed petals of a flower bud. He thinks "She always enjoys teasing me", trying to apart them by his lips. He observes her closed eyes & closed lips; the mischievousness behind her suppressed smile accompanied with childlike innocence when she tries to keep her lips locked. Both of them enjoy, as she plays with him. The tantalizing game continues for few more seconds. He accepts her challenge in his mind. Then instead of wasting his time furthermore, he stops trying to invade her lips. He shifts his lips away from hers. Amused she open eyes. Before she would realize about what has stopped him. He begins to give brushing finishes by his lips on her cheeks; turning them into different hues of red. Priya's heart races faster with his each touch. Her fingers wrap around at the back of his neck firmly now; she moves her left hand slowly tracing the region of his back & shoulder fondly. Giving a soft touch by his lips on Priya's every facial feature except her lips; he tries to convey a message. He too loves enjoying the game with her. As he does this, his warm breath over her skin teases Priya more. Her eyes mirror her vulnerability to his breath when she senses it over her skin. Her eyelids get open & closed invariably under the shower of his breath. 'The warmth in his breath is just like the warmth of his heart' she thinks deepening the dig by her nails into his T-shirt covered back inherently. For an instant reaction Ram closes his eyes for a moment sensing the sharpness on his T-shirt clad back; feeling the aggression of her nails;. As he opens his eyes; he smiles looking at her. Rather her most enticing appearance to his eyes. Her lips are parted in anticipation; she has shut the eyes as always. Her breathing misses its normal rhythmic consistency. Though he is carrying Priya in his arms for quite a long time; he feels her weight feather like. He experiences some sort of magic in the consequences of the entire situation. With closed eyes she waits for his lips. He decides to prolong the game to tease her just the way she teased. He deliberately avoids touching her lips so that the game she has started remains interesting. She thinks amusingly. 'Why he is delaying the moment', Ram has been waiting with so much desperation. After all she is being inviting, "she too wants to feel his lips, get enchanted because of them." Like a skilled artist brings a life into his sculpture by carving with patience and determination with his tools; Ram uses his lips all over her face except her lips. She waits more. Finally, she opens her eyes with questioning look. He winks looking at her with teasing smile. She understands his gesture. She has to finish the game which she has started. At Ram's suggestive glance to initiate the kiss; Priya's eyes convey the blush. Priya's arms form embrace, wrapping around his shoulder gently .Her fingers wraps around the back of his neck, pulling his face closer to her. She raises her face up & seals his lips with hers. He deepens the kiss as tenderness gets replaced by passion. She reciprocates him. They remain unaware of everything around them; savoring another sweet moment. 'The Kiss' seems like eternal making the promises of their love, giving the assurances about their love, building up the new desires and at the same time giving the content feeling of being in love to each of them. 'Your love makes it believable that the eternity, divinity do exist' as they continue to sense through their kiss.

Otherwise 6 or 12 months ago it would have looked like just another element of expression of the love for Ram & Priya when they got married. There was not a trace of anticipation of the great feeling 'The Love' from each other in their 'Marriage of Compromise'. But today lost in each other's arms they would not only assure themselves but also symbolize the example to the people witnessing them that 'Shaadi kay baad hotey hotey pyaar ho he jaata hain'. The steps of trust, friendship, care, loyalty, understanding and love; they climbed up together as a good team to reach at this stage. The barriers of egos, awkwardness, insecurities, stubbornness, perfectness -imperfectness & misunderstandings broke as the time moved ahead when the two strangers started spending their life in enclosed space of their bedroom as husband & wife. Even they didn't realize when they have become each other's strength as well as weakness. They have started complementing each other rather completing each other. Today, they are truly, madly & deeply in love with each other. In so much love that they can't imagine their life without each other. It looks so perfect…that perfect husband & wife…and perfect marriage. But No! It's not like that. They are just like any other married couple so they still have a long way to go; maybe their life long.

Intrusion of sudden resonance perturbs the peace in the atmosphere, alarming that the time has moved forward. Their attention shifts to the huge antique clock placed on the wall in front of them. As the pendulum in the clock strikes for 12 times making a noise indicating its 12 O'clock at night breaking their kiss.
