Beautiful & Passionate
"shaddi abhi?" she asked
When he began to laugh hysterically
She became self conscious and said "Aaj?"
He shook his head first... and then swallowed and exhaled, catching his breath
"Haan ya nah?" he asked
He would ponder over the proposal later that night and the next morning drying laundry out in the terrace, chatting with Ruchi
"I cannot believe you are proposing to me" she said shakking her head vigorously and shutting her eyes
Then opened it finaly and said "Nihar ko maloom chala?" she asked
His face turned somber
"Nihar ko maloom nai?" she asked
"He knows the talk is happening at home Suvechha" he explained
This was the first time he had said her name AFTER a wedding proposal
She turned red as she imagined him calling her that way as she dried laundry on the terrace or went to check on the pressure cooker
Waves of delight swept her away, almost bodily shoving her towards the amaltas limbs
"Marathi mein poochhen hum?" he asked scrolling through his phone
She smiled like a child
"Without consulting Google" she whispered
He leaned and whispered something naughty in her ear, her ear was sizzling hot
"We both dont know what we are doing" she said nervously reaching out and holding his hand for comfort as if they were plotting to rob a bank
He held and squeezed her hand tight
"We both know we like each other" he said
"You are my boss, I am a single parent, you have known me for 4 months?" she said
"I am a single parent too and I like what I see... and know" he said
He said it with confidence he hadnt felt before
"Neel... I dont know what to say" she felt tears
He paused, and led her to a park like walk way away from the street, with flowering plants all around
She sat down weakly on a concrete stool and he stood in front of her
"Amma just met me... I dont think she wants to see me take Nupur's place" she said
"There is no "taking" Suvechha" he said
"Your family has protocol, high expectations, rituals surrounding everything... mere ghar pe siraf Varsha hey... usko batane ka hai nai batane ka hai maine socha nahi... means about us... and then the proposal" she said
She smiled
"I havent been asked so nicely" she said and then said sheepishly "Its not like mere paas both proposal hey.. but I cannot forget today" she said
She had made up her mind, she was going to be nice and listen and review and click on it and "move it to the Archive"
He sat down by her
"aapko Varsha se dar hai?" he asked
"Everything is scary Neel... we dont know how its going to be to live with each other, you want your mother to stop looking for a girl, so u think I am a good choice" she said
"Is that why I asked u u think?" he was not happy
"Lets face it... u went from not wanting to remarry to having a relationship to wanting a remarriage" she succinctly broke it down three ways
"Nihar ke approval barobar nai hai" she said fearfully
"Hes TEN" Neel interupted
She observed how impatient and impulsive he was... going after something he liked with so much passion and courage
He was unstoppable
She was unable to step forward
Disillusioned, fearful, petrified, ashamed
She had her heart broken catastrophically by Rutwik
She had told herself her first broken heart was going to be her only broken heart
How could such a beautiful thing like Neel Pandit emerge from the mess?
"Amma did not think I measured up to Nupur" she said softly
He exhaled
It hurt him to see her feel so humiliated
He wanted her not to be competing with Nupur
There was no way for him to stop that competition
She will receive it as a wedding gift
"Work... we are not thinking about work... the office, Gomez... sab log kya bolega" she said
"Shaadi kayi log karte hain" he mocked
She smiled
"I heard" she mocked back
"Do u mistrust my motive?" he asked
"NO!" she said passionately
their gaze met...
That was the only thing that was good about this proposal at this point...
