swayam just came there n said "mom designer ka call aya tha lehenga tyaar ho gaya hai..mai lene chale jau??"
"mujhe sab pata hai lehnga lene ke bahane sharon ke ghar chale jaoge tumm, mai kisi aur ko bhej dungi tumhe jaane ki koi jarurat ni hai..." his mom commented
she called rey...
crap use bulana jaruri hai..??
rey was about to go when his mom stopped him "ek kaam karo , kria ko sath le jao...ek baar try bhi karwa lena ki saari fitting sahi hai ya ni..."
i was shocked why me...??
suddenly out of nowhere pam came said "aunty mai chali jati hu rey ke saath"
but vicky blurted out " but u r fat.. "
swayam said "he means actually pam u are healthier than sharon n dress wont fit to u.."
vicky excussed " plus rey is going on a bike.."
vishakha interrupted " n u'll get tan under the heat"
i was confused why everyone is behaving like this...
neha added " even your mehandi will be destroyed on bike.."
pam became thoughtful...all got a chance
i was about to speak "but i too got..." they all literally pushed me with rey...
rey started his bike..n i was perplexed how to sit behind him...i too got mehndi on my hands..he was waiting for me to sit..but i was in delima..how to sit without any support..but managed... my dupatta kept on falling from my one shoulder but neha helped me with it... after my settling on bike ..we headed towards the shop...
i had nothing to hold on..but thank god he was riding his bike in snail speed ,if he would had raised the speed , i would had already fallen from bike...thank god he has got some brain ..
we reached soon bike ride was silent ..as expected ...what to expect from him...argh gadha!! i was about to move but he stopped me..i looked at him questioningly ..he came forward n damn it !! my heart beat raised at supper fast speed..
he raised his hand to one of my shoulder n put the dupatta in its correct place...without saying anything he went inside , i was struggling with the door but he came back & opened the door for me...i was perplexed at his behaviour but unable to understand his behaviour ..."does he cares for me??"
no way kria how can he..he never ever cared for u??
we were greeted by ellan...he again hugged rey...n tried to tough him.i was giggling at him...but stopped when rey stared at me..shit!! those damn beautiful chocolate eyes...i gulped hard...& tried to concentrate on other things..
ellan showed us the dress ..it was damn beautiful...ellan asked me to try it..but i denied "sorry ellan actually i fear my mehndi would destroy the dress..."
"dont worry dear i will send some of my girls to help u..u just go inside i'll send them..just shout 4 me from inside "
" just go ..u'll look sexy and your..."
" ellan am going .." before he could start again saying anything embarrassing .. i went to change...i dont want to get
embarrassed once again before rey...
after sometime , i shouted for help ..but nobody came inside..shit!! changing room mein ek mirror ni laga sakte the..?? n the dress is so heavy & i swear these doris...crap sharon ko yahi design select karna tha...??
i heared the door open , i wore my dupatta n without looking i asked the person to tie my dori...
i felt different but again shrew away any thoughts...
"achha suniye apki shop pe aise hi heavy wedding dress design karte hai ya kuch light dresses bhi hai...?yeh wedding dress ka weight toh mere weight se bhi jyada hoga..."
i asked without seeing the person...as my back was towards the person..
no one replied ..
i thought "kuch jyada hi keh diya..."
"woh i am sorry actually dress bahot heavy hai isliye pucha "
i clarified...
i felt the dori had been tied...i turned back to say thanks, but i was froze to see rey behind me...
"woh its lunch time so no one is here everybody is out for lunch..& i couldnt let ellan to come here inside..am sorry..i...am really sorry ..i had all the time closed my eyes...am sorry kria really...if u r hurt..."he said it one go..
i kept quiet...seeing me quiet ,he left from the changing room...i was not able to think how to react...i was just confused ..i didnt dare to come out of the changing room ,i could hear ellan voice...i came outside n showed him dress..i avoid rey's gaze...i could feel intensity in the air..i definitely need fresh air..
after ellans blabbering ,i went inside to change..i came out after changing ..i couldnt bear those eyes...i just talked to ellan he packed the dress & gave it to rey...we went back home...he tried to talk to me...
"kria ..woh..."
"its ok rey, its not ur fault " without seeing at him i went inside... i tried to mingle in the atmosphere inside...i never glanced at him... he just helped u kria .."we are never meant to be together" just chant
i soon mingled with girls inside...vicky was constantly trying to avoid rita but that girl always tried to be around him...it was fun with vishakha & neha..from them i came to know that boys are having bachelor party at some hotel...
"dude i wish we were from girl's side ,at least hume bhi bachelor party karne ko milti...neha yaar tu jaldi shaadi kar"
vishakha said...
"koi hona bhi chahiye na shadi ke liye " neha explained...
"MAIN HOON NA!!" a voice came from behind...
it was vicky standing there leaning on the door ...staring at neha..
neha blushed ...vishakha n i looked at eachother, they were lost in eachother..we smiled at eachother n coughed fakely... bringing back two love birds back to earth... i winked at vicky... letting him know i understood everything...
i & vishakha...started to move ..
"hey where are u going ??" neha asked us...
"we dont want to act as kabbab mein haddi " i said staring at vicky who blushed in return...we laughed at his cute expression...
"kria are u ok??" vicky asked...
"yes what happened to me??" i asked him
"oh nothing ,u just look upset!!" he said..
for once i thought if he came to know about that dori situation between rey & me...but no rey cant tell him kria ,he is not like that kind of a guy...
" am fine vicky.." i said convincing myself more than him
anyways..swayam called me... he handed me the phone, it was sharon otherside..
"hey kria why dont u join me in my bachelorette party??"
"but sharon how can i as am from boy's side ..."
"hey dont worry i'll talk to swayam's mom about that"
"ok..sure then i'll join u , infact i wud love too..but if u dont mind can i bring my two friends along with me " i asked her hesitantly
"sure"
"n one more thing sharon i dont have any party dress..i dint bring it here..."
" its ok baba ...i'll take care of these thing"
"thanks a lot sharon"
"ok bye kria"
"bye"
swayam took the phone n he went in the corner to talk to her for some private time..
as planned ..dont know what sharon had told swayam's mom that she readily agreed...to send us..infact my mom too didnt objected...
but there was a twist..pam. & rita also went with us..as sharon talked about sending all the girls ...
vishakha was fuming in anger as neha made her to wear a girly dress ..n above that pam & rita were irritating her...neha was lost in vicky's thought & i was thinking about him...
we reached sharon's house..sharon greeted us,i met her few close friends like rinnie & simmie..we all mingled up in short time..rinnie, simmie , neha , vishaka ,sharon & me were standing in sharon's room..while rita & pam knocked at the door as they were in the living room for drinking water ...as they knocked on the door , vishakha & simmie blurted "clinging family"
we looked at eachother & burst out laughing...
"we are waiting outside please come after getting ready " pam informed us..
vishakha cheekily replied " ok " & shutted the door
"so kria do u have a boyfriend??" sharon asked me...
great from where that question arised??
"no dear i dont have any..." i answered
"if u dont want to tell then its ok.." simmie said
"no simmie really i dont have any boyfriend...infact i dont believe in today's wala love.."
"what do u mean by today's wala love...??"rinnie questioned
"i meant to say aaj ke zamane wala love..."
"u mean u believe in love that used to happen in old era.." vishakha asked making faces..
"yes i believe in ISHQ WALA LOVE..." i said
"aweee" neha ,vishakha ,simmie n rinnie grinned...
"great i didnt knew u r so romantic..." sharon teased me...
i just blushed & shyed
we all had a galla time ...i had to change my dress.. she gave me a beautiful dress...i came out wearing it..it was perfect for me...as if she knew all my likes & dislikes...
we reached the party venue.. all went inside ,me & sharon were coming little slower but i was shocked to see the boys group already there...
i asked sharon "isnt it was girl's bachellorette party?"
"umm... kria !! wohh.."
"kyu ek din bhi swayam ke bina reh ni sakti??"
"shut up kria" she hit me on my hand..
"ouchh!! am not ur swayam...that u r hitting me...yeh attyachar apne pati par karna"
hearing this we broke into laughter...
"kria u r same as me...dramatic!!"
we again laughed..i looked around..
shit!! rey was looking like a god...wow gosh how can he look so sexy & hot..
"kria??"
"huh!!"
"kaha kho gayi..."
" kahi ni...waise mujhe pehle bta deti ki boys bhi yaha aane wale hai..i could have weared something long"
"kyu rey tumhe ghoorta hai toh tumhe "kuch kuch hota hai??""
i stopped in my tracks..i looked at sharon with big eyes n was shocked at her comment, my jaws touched my knees...
ab rey beech mein kaha se aa gaya??
"what ?i didnt get u?? "i tried to coverup..
" dont try kria its obvious in ur eyes " she said..
"but how can u say ...??" i tried to ask..
"i said na its obvious on ur face & eyes" sharon repplied...
arghh!!...gadhi hu main..is shaadi mein aane se pehle plastic surgery kara ke aana tha..crap is it too oblivious...??
"but we are not meant to be together" i sighed...
"who said??"
"he doesnt love me sharon"
"how do u exactly know??"
"he never told me that he loves me..he never showed it"
"u know kria sometimes action speaks more than the word..."
"but i he dont even look at me..he is always busy with others..i never saw him looking at me .." i replied..
"do u think ,he will let u know that his drooling over u & falling for u every second..??isnt it surprising that he never looked at you ?? isnt it obvious..that he looks away whenever u look at him...??" she sarcastically commented
"but??" i tried to defend
"arent u amazed how do i know all your likes & dislikes??"
i gapped at sharon's question..i looked at her questioningly
"the dress which u r wearing right now is selected by him.."
"he might have selected it for pam"
"no its for u...he bought it keeping u in his heart & mind"
"but??"
"kria just stop running from your feelings..."
" i need sometime to think..." i quited before her argument
"take ur time before its too late..."
i stood there shocked at her comment ..she went towards swayam...i joined other girls instead of going towards boys...we all were chatting but my mind was somewhere else..
"kria..??" vishakha shook me from my "thinking-land"..
"are u ok?? neha asked..
i nodded..
"all boys are looking good na..??"vishakha asked me..
i smiled...
"except one..." neha said...
"who?? " i asked joining the convo
"shivam who else ...'the clinging soul' "rinnie joined us in our conversation...
we giggled at her comment...
"i wonder whether they eat sufficient nutrients as they always need support to stand..the whole family is same.. clinging on every other person they meet.." simmie too joined...
we all laughed at her comment...
"u r right simmie..even when shivam met kria for the first time..that creep clingly hugged kria as if she was his 'bachpan ki kumbh ke mele' mein lost friend..." vishakha added..
we all laughed at her remark...
simmie & rinnie looked at me to speak.."yes thanks to vicky he came at right time...otherwise shivam would chocked me to death.." i said..
"i guess..i am quiet famous between girls..." came a voice from behind us..
vicky was standing behind us , he smiled & joined us...
"so talking about me??"he asked..
" no vicky we were just talking about 'clinging soul'..." neha answered
" oh u mean shivam" he added..
we girls looked at each other & started laughing..
"how do u know about the name ..??" rinnie asked while giggling..
vishakha & i looked at neha..who blushed in return...
"we told him ..he is very good friend of us..." i covered up...he winked at me saying "thanks" i replied back with smile
"but i wonder after that day shivam never ever tried to talk to me .." i asked...
"do u think he would dare to talk to you when rey is around" he blurted..
i was stunned & looked at him with questioning eyes...
what do you mean...??
he covered up by asking neha for dance, before i could say anything he was on dance floor...
i looked at vishakha..who immediately took simmie & rinnie along with her leaving me alone...as if escaping from my any other question..
hell!! what is going on around me...??
my head was spinning...i sat on the table ..vishakha came & sat beside me..
"he cant see u upset kria..thats why after u came from wedding dress shop he sent vicky to look after u...we dont know the reason what made u upset that day?? but he really loves u ..& cares for u..now also he sent me to cheer u up..."
i looked at vishakha...she pressed my hand..."just stop running from your feelings..." i looked at her & nodded...i looked at him, he was talking to others...
just then the DJ announced for a paper dance..we all were given a chit with a no. each...boys & girls seperately whose no. matched became partners..
unfortunately vicky was paired with rita..while neha was paired with shivam...swaron was paired
i was looking for my partner..admist the crowd i can see rey staring at me...
i remembered the sharon's line ""kria just stop running from your feelings..."
i went to him towards him...
"whats your number??" i asked
"10"
"mine too.."
he smiled back & asked me for dance "dance??"
"sure!!" i smiled back
i was ready to feel the feeling...we swayed on the paper with beats ..while seeing in each other's eyes..
i was about to fall but he caught me in between ..i shuddered under his touch...he never left me ..he held me protectively from my waist...i was searching answers in his eyes "whether he loved me or not??"
second last round soon came ...rita along with vicky , neha with shivam , swaron , pam with some guy called amar ,& we reached the final round...neha couldnt take it any more..she pushed shivam...who was trying to cling on her...they were out of the game...vicky well he was afraid to scoop fatso rita in his arms , well he too intentionaly stepped back so that he would be out of the game...pam- amar,swaron& only we were left...amar accidently stepped out on the floor...
pam literally scolded amar for making her loose...now only swaron & we were left...i could feel love for me in his eyes..but what if i was wrong.?? i wasnt able to take his gaze on me...i definitely need fresh air...
"can we lose this game??" i asked without looking at him
"why ??dont u want to win?? scared of something??
i instantly looked at him !! but covered up ..." i want them to win " i said pointing towards swaron...
he smiled "sure..." with that we both stepped out of the paper..atlast swaron were declared winners...all congratulated
swaron..crowd rushed to wish them i took a chance & went towards the terrace..unknowingly tears flowed through my
eyes..suddenly someone pulled me..it was familiar touch.. without seeing i can say it was rey...
i looked at him ...yes time came..it was the time for confession..i knew what is going to come next ..crap he is going to propose me..i can see immense love for me in his eyes..
he looked at me...wipped my tears & said "I LOVE U"
i didnt knew what to say ...i tried to push him but my hands & legs betrayed me...crap bloody traitors ..he was holding me so lightly & delicately..i can feel the care in his eyes..i dint knew what to say ...my mouth is also conspired against me..my throat dried..voice..betrayed me ...gathering up the courage...i looked in his eyes...
" aaj ke jamane wala LOVE??" i blurted out...
crap kehna kuch chahti thi aur keh kuch aur diya..i was shocked of what did i said..
"nah!! ISHQ WALA LOVE.." he replied
i instantly hugged him , & cried hugging him..
"I LOVE U TOO" i said
"i am sorry , i didnt know how to tell u, gadha hoon main..."he complained making cute face
" i know.. " i blurted out...
"what??" he was shocked, & made a cute baby face
i couldnt help but smile at his cuteness...
he wiped my tears & kissed me on my forehead..
all clapped from behind us...all were included in this game ...
swaron came & hugged us...all went down only we were left on the terrace...
he was staring at me...i tried to avoid his gaze, i stepped little far from him & stared at sky...he covered the distance..& hugged me from behind...i personally loved it when he hugged me from behind...
"kya soch rahi ho?? he asked...
" woh..main..." i stammered...
"shh..unhe pata hai ..& they dont have any problem" he said..
i was shocked , he again shocked me..i turned towards him & stared at him..how did he know what i was thinking..??..
"aise mat dekho..i know you more than yourself..woh bhi aaj se nahi 8 years pehle se...i knew you would had cried at that time..i dont have the courage to see you crying thats why i didnt came to station , last time also & tumhare mom dad ko hamare relationship se koi problem ni hai..infact hamari shaadi ki baat chal rahi hai..." he said in one go..
i was shocked at the revelation...
"but shaadi itni jaldi..i..woh..." i said..
"i know thats why hamari shaadi do saal baad hogi...i knew tumhare liye yeh sab bahot jaldi hai..i knew u need time..thats why..i already convinced our parents for marriage after 2 years.." he answered
i looked at him with respect...i hugged him..
"but ..??"
"ab kya hua..??" he asked
"dont u think 2 years is long time??" i pouted..
he laughed at me & pecked my nose.."no its perfect.."
*****************************************************************************************
after two years we got married...
we became one soul after our marriage...he was my perfect soulmate..who knew me in & out,infact more than myself..i can become confused what i want but he knows better what i want..
i woke up one morning...he caressed my tresses,drapped blanket over me & kissed me on my forehead.. i smiled while
closing my eyes...
he was about to get up from the bed but i held his wrist & pulled him...he landed on me...
"aap mujhse hamesha jaldi kyu uth jaate ho??"
'" kyunki mujhe tumhe peacefully meri bahon mein sote hue dekhna accha lagta hai"
i smiled carresing his hairs " us din room mein aap hi aaye the na??"
he smiled back & winked at me...tears filled my eyes...i tried hiding it but he knew me more than me...
he made me to face him, wiped my tears & kissed on my eyelids...he pecked on my nose...he soon came to my lips and conveyed all his love, care, protectiveness through one kiss...
"agar main wapas dehradhun nahi aati toh kabhi aapse nahi mil paati.."
"ssshh!! we are together as we are meant to be together.."
i smiled at my cute husband..indeed action speaks more louder than words...
