The confession
part 1
Nidhi’s words
I can’t believe my ears…Dr.Ashutosh told in front of Armaan, Rohan that he loves me…
Armaanji and paagal Rohan are my angels.. they managed to clear the misunderstanding and call out his lies about not having any feelings for me…my man- yes that is what I call him in my mind-would have denied his feelings once again if the encounter wasn’t in a religious shrine… though not a fervent believer in all things religious, he does revere the patron saint of the dargah we were standing at….Now that he has uttered those words--- however convoluted and shrouded in ‘sharafat’ they might be, that moment and those words will forever be etched in my heart---the most precious moment in my life—till it will be overwritten by memories of our wedding and ahem ahem ..our honeymoon!!!!
Am I thinking too much in my excitement!!! …no no… if I know my man correctly, he will soon land at my doorstep and seek my hand in marriage….I cant stop blushing… Thank God I am not too fair like that ‘mandarathi hui, binbinathi hui makkhi’ Mallika…else I would have embarrassed myself even further with a deep tint of natural blush…
I am now travelling with him in his car, the memories attached to the car come effortlessly to me—the car crash…and then the night of Priyanka’s wedding- a date when a couple bound themselves forever in marital bliss and it also turned out to be the date when I fell in love…
Anji and Makkhi were quick to realise--- I was in denial for a few days but I blurted it in front of makkhi…I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought that makkhi will die of jealously if she comes to know about what happened today. Oh No!!!! my man saw me chuckling to myself…he must be thinking that he has fallen in love with a crazy woman---yes! I said woman!!..i am no longer a girl ..he is my man and I am his woman… I so want to tell him that now that he has confessed his love , there is no way he can retract after seeing my crazy side.
Goodness!!!Did I say that aloud..because he opened his luscious lips to say that he has already seen my crazy side during my internship… I was relieved at that realization, but the relief was only momentary as I wondered what else I might have said aloud.
He however became serious..I know that after bringing up the topic of my internship, his thoughts wandered towards my unfair dismissal. I place my hands on his shoulder and say, let us not think about the past… going forward, we will think of the future..
He replied -haan ab hum bas aage ki sochenge…to which I quipped, hum baad mein sochenge aage ki…, you are driving ,filhaal aap aage dekhiye…
We finally reached Robertson’s park… A pretty nature lover’s paradise. We sit on a small seat ,surrounded by pretty Fuchsias’,….
We talked about our parents and education…. However, the one topic I wanted to know about hasn’t been touched upon…. Was there a woman in his life before me … I want the answer to be no..though, I know that he is a 38 year old, incredibly handsome and famous surgeon… the odds of him having met someone nice and appealing in the past was definitely high….
I was dying to know this… I wish he would bring up the topic… I simply didn’t have the courage to ask him…and I didn’t have the courage to hear about some other woman…He was my first and I so wanted to be his first.
