Chapter 8
But for now, he'd just keep her in his arms, and tightened his hold on her and rested his chin on her head.
Sakshi cried for a long time in his arms. After her quota of cries was over, she felt unwilling to go from his arms. After a very long time she raised her head, finally looking up into his eyes.
For a moment they looked at one another without speaking; for some
indefinable reason she began to feel uneasy. Even though a faint smile
now touched his lips, she suddenly felt shy and confused.
She wiped the tears from her face, and suddenly realised that she must look very awful to him. As if he could read her mind, he replied back, his dark eyes boldly sweeping her face with a strange feeling, and said, "You always look very beautiful."
Tauba tumhare yeh ishare, ham toh divane hai tumhare
Raj yeh kaise khol rahee ho, tum aankho se bol rahee ho
Jadu aate hai tumko sare
Tauba tumhare yeh ishare, ham toh divane hai tumhare
Chhu lete ho tar jo dil key, tum hee batao tum se milke
Janu dil koyee kyon naa hare, tauba tumhare yeh ishare...
There was a caressing note to his voice, and this made Sakshi look even more deeply in his eyes. What she saw in his eyes sent a quiver through her, and she felt her heartbeat quicken alarmingly. And given she was still in his arms, she was certain he could feel her trembling.
She experienced some anxiety and dismay and at the same time a
certain amount of pleasure at the effect he was having on her, but she
was resolved not to show it, given she still believed he didn't love her.
As soon as the words entered her mind, she felt a pang in her heart and tried to push him away. But it seemed that he didn't want to release her. She raised her head to ask him to let her go. But he was looking at her with a soft expression, and yet as if he was trying to read what was in her heart.
She opened up her mouth, but she found herself unable to say anything, and Arjun also wasn't doing much but look at her. The silence stretched between them, lengthening and Sakshi couldn't move at all. In fact she felt herself in the grip of some deep emotion, and she didn't want to move at all.
Even Arjun was having a lot of problems controlling himself. He had waited for so long for Sakshi to feel something for him, and today when Sakshi had finally taken her first step towards him, he felt a bit greedy and wanted more. He continued to look at her, and the moment heightened both their senses, and involuntarily Arjun came closer to her, tightening his hold on her, his eyes darkening and letting his gaze drop to her lips, moist and slightly parted.
Tum Ko Dhadkan Mein Yun Basana Hai
Apni Palkon Mein Yun Chupaana Hai
Tum Ko Dhadkan Mein Yun Basana Hai
Apni Palkon Mein Yun Chupaana Hai
Jab Uthayen Hum Nighaein
Tum Ko Dekhe Tum Ko Paayen
Door Jaaye Ab Na Hum
Hum Tumhare Hain Tumhare Sanam
His closeness made Sakshi feel too vulnerable, but as she saw Arjun's head bending towards her, she was unable to move. She caught her breath, able to feel the heat coming from his body, his warmth on her upturned face.
Not being able to sustain his look, she closed her eyes and waited.
Just when she thought he was going to lower his face completely to hers, and to place his lips on hers, to her relief and dismay, the moment was broken by her mobile ringing.
That moment was broken, as Sakshi opened her eyes and stared at him. She flushed scarlet and pushed away from Arjun, and ran to pick up her mobile which was on the sofa.
Her back to him, still she was aware as he came inside, and his eyes were always on him.
"Hain mama, he just came. and he's fine," Sakshi was saying on her mobile. She then cut the call, and taking a deep breath, she turned to face Arjun.
Hopefully, there was nothing on Arjun's face to make her feel even more shy, it was as if that moment had never come, and things were back to normal.
Sakshi took this as a respite, and she asked, "Aap ne khana khaya?"
Arjun smiled at her tone, he didn't know if Sakshi realised that she was acting as a wife, an angry and frustrated wife. Sakshi didn't understand the secret smile, but just as she was going to ask about it, Arjun replied that he was feeling very hungry.
Sakshi made him sit down on the sofa, and went to the kitchen to bring some food for him. She was still fanning her red cheeks, while she got out food for him on a plate. After a few minutes, she was sitting on the sofa, while he had his late diner. In between he managed to tell her that he had an undercover mission, and for this he had to switch off his mobile.
"But couldn't you even call me? not even a message?"Sakshi asked angrily.
"Do you even know what hell I have been?"
Arjun hid a smile and answered, "Do you care so much for me?"
"Of course, I care!" she said with angry eyes.
"And why do you care so much?" Arjun asked.
Sakshi blushed at that question, not knowing what to answer and how to answer, in the end she only said, "Because I'm your wife, Samjhe ya...", and then taking Arjun's empty plate, she ran away.
The next day, Sakshi was busy preparing breakfast for Arjun, when she felt being observed. She turned to look around her, and saw Arjun looking at her.
"Is there something on my face?" she asked a bit selfconscious.
Arjun just nodded in a negative way.
"Then why are you looking at me like this?" she felt compelled to ask.
"kyun? Cant I watch my own wife now," he said and winked at her.
Oh god, he was throwing back her words at her. She immediately turned to continue preparing his breakfast, and tried her best to ignore him.
The only problem was that Arjun wasn't making things easy for her, he continued to talk with her, and at times even stood very close to her. At times she could almost feel his hands touching her shoulders, or his breaths on her back.
At times she'd have to move away a few steps or shout the way her heart was behaving every time she felt him close to her. Why was he torturing her, she thought to herself.
When she felt him brushing her shoulder by his after the fifth time, she couldn't stop herself from asking.
"Arjun, what are you doing?"
