Part 16

The dinner was done and it was Vinu's turn to somehow get mamiji in the study…and so everyone left early and by the time mamiji came out of the kitchen….no one was there in the living room….She turned to look for others and found Alekh standing their smiling at her.

Mamiji asked Alekh…."Alekh babu….sab kaha hai??"

Alekh answered…."voh sab hai na….voh…."

Right then Sadhna interrupted Alekh fearing he'll disclose the surprise….and said…."mamiji….sab log toh yahi bahar walk ke liye nikle the….main Alekhji ko lene aayi thi."

Mamiji was surprised that they all left so fast and without letting her know….she looked at Sadhna and Alekh and said…."achcha koi baat nahi….main abhi aati hoon.."

She went inside and Sadhna told Alekh…."kya Alekhji…main nahi aati toh aap sab bata dete abhi mamiji ko…"

Alekh got mad and said…."huh….stupid….tumhe toh pata hai na mujhe secret rakhna kitna achche se aata hai…toh phir main kaise bata deta…..tum bhi na…stupid ho stupid….main bachcha thode hi hoon."

Sadhna feels bad she doubted Alekh…"ok Alekhji….mujhe maaf kar dijiye…maine bhool gayi thi ke aap toh secret bahut achche se rakhte hai.."

Alekh looks at her and smiles and says…"koi baat nahi dost….mujhe pata tha tum bhool gayi thi…per main kuch nahi bhoolta…koi baat nahi…main hoon na…main tumhe sab yaad dilate rahunga….main hoon na tumhari help karne ke liye."

And he hugs her….Sadhna feels so nice under his touch and smiles to herself….coz as fast he hugs….he moves back that fast also.

Everybody gathered in the study and had closed the lights….Vinu asked everyone to be quiet as he's gonna go and get mamiji.

Ranvir looked around but cudnt find Ragini in the room…..He was wondering why she wasn't here and then suddenly he heard the noise of the bangles coming from the doorway….he smiled to himself as he knew it was Ragini walking in…and so he stood by the door.

Ragini also joined everyone in the room….it was dark and so she stood by the corner….and suddenly she heard a whisper from beside her…."aap apni birthday yaha manana pasand karengi ya apne ghar??"

Ragini turned and found Ranvir who leaned his back to the wall and with his arms folded in front of him…kept looking at Ragini…Ragini's heart jumped finding him stand so close to her….she started to move away and took a step in front…and then he held her duppatta in one of his hands and said…"aapne kya soncha rakha hai ke mujhse baat nahi karengi??"

Ragini was too scared to answer so she turned away and was about to go… when Ranvir held both of her hand in his behind her and said…."mujhse darr lag raha hai??"

Ragini felt her heart beating in her throat….she was scared that anybody cud find them in this situation so she tried to get loose and was struggling to get out of his grip….Ranvir let go off one of her hands but still kept holding another….so she turned slowly and whispered back…."maine aapse kaha na…mujhe aapse darr nahi lagta....aur main baat toh kar rahi hoon na…..ab please mujhe chode…koi dekh lega….."

Ranvir became serious and he came forward and very close to Ragini…and she was afraid coz there was no place for her to move….she was scared that she cud bump into someone….so she stood at one place.

Ranvir was very close to her and then slowly he put his hand on her waist and pulled her towards him….but this time very gently he bent his head very close to her ear….so close that their cheeks were touching.

Ragini cud inhale the smell of his cologne…she closed her eyes tight and her handson his chest….that were trying to push him away ….now rested for a while…. And then she heard him whisper very slowly in her ear….."main bhi yahi chahta hoon….ke aap ke dil mein mere liye koi darr ka ehsaas na ho….balke ehsaas ho toh sirf pyar ka."

He then moved his head an inch back and lifted her face with his finger and kissed her forehead.

Ragini cudnt feel her legs…she thought she wud any minute now wud fall into his arms….but then suddenly she came back to her senses when she heard Vinu's voice coming closer who was telling mamiji…."haan maa…maine har jagah dekh liya….mujhe nahi mil rahi meri file….aapko pata hai kitni zaroori hai voh.."

Ragini pushed Ranvir gently on his chest and even he came back to his senses and moved away…..Both were not in the situation to talk at all…they were lost thinking abt the beautiful moment they shared just now.

When the lights were back up…Ranvir looked at Ragini and a smile came to his face when he noticed her blushing.
