She had been lifted up as a child like this. There was so much of happiness bursting inside her already, that being up in his arms made it feel like heaven.
Slowly she was aware of him around her. His stubble tickled her as he buried his face in her neck. She started feeling faint. Slowly he loosened his grip and she slid down so perfectly against him. She wondered how he could be so strong! Her feelings had swept her away. She could barely stand on her feet- that too, she was leaning on him. His tall muscular frame felt like a safe haven she didn't want to leave. Her whole body was tingling as if each atom inside her was singing a tune. She didn't know for how long they had stood like that. A blush went up her being when she felt his hands trail along her back , snaking under her hair to settle on the back of her neck. His other hand was supporting her waist. Did he know how he affected her!
Suddenly she found all this so embarrassing. This was Shravan- her Shravan. She had many a time imagined how it would feel like to be kissed by him...but to be made aware of her best friend in such an extremely sensuous way suddenly felt so strange. And right now, she knew this was one sided. Because when she looked up at Shravan's face, the tears were still there.
It was her turn to wipe away the tears. Don't!'- Did he know how much his tears hurt her!
He nodded his head, gently let her go and wiped his face vigorously. He had hurt so much for her. Then, he had hurt her. The realisation of how he had transferred his pain on to her was still lashing at him. In equal measures was the indescribable joy that she was here with him- forever. He could never thank her enough for this second chance. How was it possible for her to forgive him so easily! Was it love or was it just in her nature? She had said she had waited every day for him. If so, her pain must be million times more for the way he had treated her. How could she leave all of that aside for him! Or did it not affect her like it affected him? When would he learn to read her! His Sumo...His very own Sumo...He had even told his mother how he wanted his Sumo back.
Sumo', he whispered gently through his tears that were now stopping. She smiled at him.
Shravan chalein?, neeche sab log wait kar rahe hoge.
He held her by her hand and gently led her down the stairs where the whole family was waiting to join in their happiness.
