This isn't the first time I'm in rain, but, it's a feeling of sheer joy today, can't you feel it? Doesn't your heart feels the same way mine does? Please say that you love me Kalpi, I'm dying to hear that from you." he said in a husky voice.
Kalpi was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him, still, she didn't say anything, perhaps, she was enjoying this restless, vexed raghav. She removed his hands off her cheeks, gently dropping them to his sides. His heart felt blue when her legs moved back as she decided to go back downstairs.
As she passed him, he grabbed her wrist. She tried to shake him off, without looking back, but his grip was too strong. he began to snap since he was tired of her leaving him unanswered, irritated and discontented. And then, his little positive side advised him to hang in there. Everyone gets good luck eventually. Kalpi turned and tried her best to not look him in the eyes because she didn't want him to see the desire she was trying to hold back. His grip left her hand to pull her toward him, putting arm over her waist, which earned him a heavenly sensation of her soft palm rested on his hard chest.
Kalpi's heart beat like a humingbird wings and she still didn't look him in the eyes. The feeling of his arm around her waist and his hard strong body so close to hers was killer. "Look at me Kalpana." Raghav said. His voice was low and gentle, albeit rather authoritative. Kalpi knew there was no way to escape from the grip of this stubborn, restlessly eager to hear her love confession singhania, whose heartbeat she felt under her palm, strong; steady and yes swift. And she realised that today she had to unlock the door to her heart and bring out the feeling she had kept in it safe,secure and concealed.
She slowly lifted her head up and looked into his eyes. Those dark eyes were beautiful yet empty and sad, pleaded with her to utter the three golden words, their owner was dying to listen and warm the cockles of his heart, making him the happiest man in the world, otherwise they would die with him today itself.
Kalpana cast her mind back to the moments they had spent together: when he helped her to solve a mathematical problem, saved her from goons then drowning, said that he loved her, applied colour lovingly on her cheeks. There was a slide show of all their happy memories in her mind.
"Do you love me?" he asked.
A hint of smile began to creep across Kalpi's lips, a warm feeling of affection coursed through her body after all she was going to shower him with thumping great happiness, filling the emptiness of his life with her tremendous love.
"Yes I do,...I love you raghav." She replied, taking her hands off his chest and immediately flung herself into his arms as if telling him, "since I've put my love for you into words, so your mine. Physically, mentally, body and soul, completely mine. And you've to be ready to enclose me in the soothing circle of your arms, whenever I want to." Her head rested on his chest, arms wrapped around his waist and she closed her eyes, inhaling the fresh new air of a limitless love.
Raghav's jaw dropped slightly when she clung to him like a moth to a flame, that gave way to some rainwater falling down his face to enter his mouth. he draped his arm around her shoulders and tightened his other arm around her waist, pulling his life even more closer, if that was possible. He was happy with a dash of amazement. When Kalpi confessed her love, an overwhelming feeling of joy came flooding over him and when her head hit him in the chest, he felt immense complacency. It was about time! She was in his arms, on her own initiative!
Raghav had never felt such a powerful rush of elation within him before. His heart was bubbling with enthusiasm and jollity. "You've no idea how happy I'm right now. I love you Kalpi. With you by my side, everything will always be beautiful. I love you, I love you so much." There was exuberance in his voice.
Their togetherness had fueled the rain. It was coming down even harder now.
Raghav pushed her away, gently. They gave each other a sweet and romantic smile before he kissed her warmly, first on her right cheek, then on her left, and on the tip of her nose, and on her forehead. Kalpi was surprised that his lips were so soft, so gentle, surprised at the pleasant drag of his whisker on her cheek. He smiled and lowered his gaze, indicated that he wanted another round, and kissed her on her right cheek again, then her left, then the tip of her nose and her forehead.
With a swift motion he wrapped her in his arms again, giving her no chance to withdraw. He looked intently at her lips, sending shiver down her spine. "Raghav, no." her breathless voice was a mere half-hearted whisper, hardly a deterrent. He sighed, as if held motionless by that one word no. "Oh, Kalpi, don't tell me no," he murmured. "If I don't kiss you soon, I'll explode."
And then he placed his lips on hers. The contact sent a shock wave through her body that left her feeling stunned. She felt his lips brush against hers tenderly, they were wet and insistent. The passion his mouth conveyed to her left her feeling weak and helpless but strangely thrilled. His lips tasted musky and moist. Kalpi heard a small soft sigh escape her own lips.
