Smiling and blushing thinking about Raghav's kiss Kalpi tossed and turned on her bed...
She then laid on the bed with her back facing the ceiling holding her chin with one hand as she dreamily touched her cheek where Raghav kissed remembering the tingling sensation... This feeling had elated her mood to a great extent and the happiness in her eyes and heart didn't let sleep come anywhere around...
Kalpi was feeling like she was on cloud 9... her heart had acknowledged the love she felt for Raghav but her mind didn't bother as it enjoyed the new found happiness ..
Getting up Kalpi went to the window and looked out at the crescent moon... the same crescent moon that witnessed her first meet with Raghav... her care when Raghav had a car accident.. that saw the two share their secrets while finding an unknown peace in each others' arm...Today she finally found what that unknown peace was... the meaning of it.. the name to her new relation with Raghav and the only thing that she now wanted was to voice it...
Happy by the fact that she somewhat knew that the feelings and happiness were mutual as she remembered Raghav's words , "Life and dance was never this enjoyable... hope it stays so forever till eternity...",smiling to herself she covered her face with the pillow...
Suddenly her phone beeped...She checked whose message was it... It was from Raghav...
Aane se tere... hui meri zindagi haseen...
Pyaar aur bahut rishton se hui hai yeh rangeen...
Socha na tha kabhi ki kisi ko apne aap se bhi zyaada chaahunga ...
Par-e- dile-e-haseen ...tere liye toh yeh jaan bhi de jaaonga...
Na inn shabdon ko khokla samajhna...
Na iss message ko dhokla samajhnaa...
Kalpi giggled on reading the dhokla word..
Sorry didn't find proper words... Will you please honour me by your presence in my car that's waiting by your backdoor...
Kalpi immediately jumped off her bed and went to her window and saw outside... She saw Raghav standing there... leaning on to his car door...
Raghav's phone beeped as a message from Kalpi popped up..
"Would've loved to do the honours but its too late... :((( "
Raghav texted back..
"Trust me... you'll never regret this..."
A smile slowly creeped on Kalpi's face as the words worked on their magic... Kalpi immediately changed into jeans and top and left...
Some of her relatives were sitting in the living room chit-chatting which left her with no other option other than using the window...
*************************************************
Raghav brought Kalpi to a beach and from there with the help of a boat they went to some place .. it was a place which not many people actually noone would choose for their first date ... as it was amidst huge rocks.. with an entrance only by a boat...The place was a cave..
"Raghav where are we going??",Kalpi asked him after having waited patiently for a long time while driving and rowing to this place blindfolded...
"Just some more time",Raghav said as he entwined his fingers with hers and moved her forward...
"Yup...now..",saying so he slowly removed her blindfold...
Kalpi slowly opened her eyes...even after opening her eyes the darkness around her was the same as it was when she had her eyes closed...
Slowly orangish yellow colour filled the atmosphere... She could see the whole city in front of her.. the darkness was slowly faded and light covered the whole place and the view in front of her...slowly making visible everything clearly...The pindrop silence that had earlier surrounded her was now replaced by sweet voice of birds...
It was as if life was given back to a dead place... this was really divine...Kalpi turned back to see Raghav's face who till now was observing the changing expressions on her face which finally stopped as she had a big genuine smile on her face...
Raghav walked upto her and held her hand in his,
" I found this place many years ago as a kid... Nobody except me knew about it... at this hour of the day the dead dark place comes to life..."
He bends down on his knees and says,
"Just like the sun gave life to this place... filled this darkness with light ... you Kalpana have filled my life with happiness and love...
Kalpana Jadhav...
I love you..."
Kalpi couldn't utter a single word as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks...She just nodded her head in a yes ...
