he took her in his arms...
closed her eyes...
& slipped a ring on her finger...
whispering softly in her ear...
"marry me naina..."
it took a second for the words to sink in...
& she slowly opened her eyes....
the tempo of the song matched her heartbeats....
I feel like I've been locked up tight
for a century of lonely nights...
Waiting for someone to release me...
You're licking your lips
And blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away....
Baby. Baby. baby
Ooh ...my body is saying let's go..
Ooh ....but my heart is saying no...
she was being pulled by her brain & her heart
to two different sides....
this dilemma would never end.....
coz i love him....& i can't live with him...
or without him...
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay....
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way....
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true...
You gotta make a big impression
I gotta like what you do....
i love everything about you....
but....
The music's fading
The lights down low....
Just one more dance
And then we're gonna go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me.....
Hormones racing at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby ....
If you wanna be with me
Baby there's a price to pay
I'm a genie in a bottle
You gotta rub me the right way......
If you wanna be with me
I can make your wish come true
Just come and set me free baby
And I'll be with you......
I'm a genie in a bottle baby
Come, come, come, on and let me out..
this is the right time naina...
say no to him!!
you've got to refuse....
think about the consequences nia!....
he'll really have to pay a price if i accept.......
a price dat's too large....
a price called separation...
the oath....
for the first time she felt uncomfortable in his arms...
it's all my fault!
i shouldn't hv encouraged him...
she took a deep breath...
& was about to say no...
wen her eyes locked with him .....
she saw the love in his eyes....
but read a lot more.....
main kabhi tumhe mana nahi kar sakti....
he saw her face changing expressions....
he knew something troubled her...
& he parted....
"naina...kya hua?...
is it so difficult?"
a sadness enveloped his eyes...
"a..." she turned away....
"look at me...."
he forced her to look his way...
"u do feel attracted to me don't you??
phir itni insecurity kyon ?....
what are you holding back from me...?"
they were completely drenched....
"raj...i don't want to hurt you...
i love you too...par shaadi...."
"i thought usually guys were scared
of a commitment?...u don't trust me?"
"of course i do!" she retaliated....
"but i don't trust myself...
ek baat batao..
agar hum dono ko kabhi kisi wajah se
ek doosre se door rehna pade...
even after marriage...."
"c'mon naina...adjustments & compromises are a
part of life....i know main army mein hoon...par
dat won't ever change my feelings for you...."
"mujhe darr lag raha hai raj....
those attacks..i'm pretty much invincible..but"
she faintly smiled...
this time he chuckled..
taking her back in the circle of his arms...
"you're not invincible!!..
in fact tum kuch zyaada hi careless ho..
& a little too fearless..
specially where your life's concerned...."
he grew serious...
"main tumhe kabhi khud se
door nahi hone doonga naina...
i promise...."
she wondered...
tum nahi hone doge..........
dat i know..........
par main..........
i love you extremely............
lekin.......
dat thread of my life........
"i'll....i'll marry you..."
she smiled...
a big grin lightened his face....
& he kissed her forehead...
"tumne mujhe daraa diya tha...
i can't live without you...
main abhi aaya...."
"kahaan..."
"aata hoon..."
he disppeared..leavin her there on the floor...
this was the first time she gazed at her ring..
& tears filled her eyes...
it was a beautiful diamond ring...
she lightly kissed it...
trembling...
& placed her hand close to her heart...
coaxing herself to come out of dat guilt...
"tum nahi jaante raj..this means a lot to me..
a lot more dan u can possibly imagine..."
he saw her wiping a tear as he returned....
"naina!!!"
"dekho..yaar...tum to jaanti ho na...
mujhe tumhe chup...karaana nahi aata...
i'm sorry..."
he stammered...
& she giggled...
placing her arms around his neck...
she rubbed her nose with his...
"i love you...."
"oh...to yeh...a...khushi ke aansoon the...
kya yaar...it seems u aren't too happy...
tum to itni jaldi chup ho gayi!"
"tsk..tsk...aur ro??...
what's dat mike doing in your hand??..
plz kuch gadbad mat karna..."
she sounded nervous
"oh..main to bhool hi gaya...
i need to make an announcement...."
the music stopped.....
& everyone screamed for more...
"just a second guys!!!
can i hv your attention please???"
the disc grew silent....
"thank you...
i just wanted to share my happiness with you guys...
maine abhi apni girlfriend ko marriage propose kari hai..
& she said yes...."
all eyes turned towards naina...
as she blushed profusely...
a loud applause broke out....
a man whistled .....
"ab problem yeh hai ki she's feelin
a bit awkward...to aap sabke saamne main
isse kuch promise karna chaahta hoon..
so dat she completely believes in me..."
"raj..i believe you...nautanki band karo...."
"kabhi-kabhi thoda filmy bhi hona chaahiye...
nahi to life thodi boring ho jaati hai....
alright...
so here's a set of my promises
to the only woman i love...
to the only stunning woman in my life...
When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes....
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies....
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,...
Keeping your faith when it's gone...
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..
And I will take,
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you....
I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart ....
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...
Just close your eyes
Each loving day ...
I know this feeling won't go away ..
Till the day my life is through..
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call...
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...
Every word I say is true
This I promise you....."
he was kneeling and lookin straight at her..
wen he sang these few words.....
so deeply dat wen he ended....
his voice had become heavy...
just like her eyes...
she knelt down...& with tears freely-falling
this time...gave him a tight hug....
his arms automatically encircled her waist...
as her saree & his suit clinged to each other...
and his face disappeared beneath her wet hair.....
an eternity passed...
a lifetime as they held on
to each other for support...
basking in each other's love &
happiness....
deaf to all the cheering & hooting in d disc.....
he got up slowly....
handing the mike to someone random...
picked her up...wiping away her tears...
& carrying her to the smaller singular floor...
curtained from the public......
"thank you...
but i never guessed you could be this romantic."
she calmed down....
"neither did i...
tumse jab se mila hoon bheja thoda khisak gaya hai..."
they both laughed....
& she sneezed...
"a..yeh to hona hi tha....
feeling cold?"
"nahi..yahaan kaafi warm hai...."
a silence suddenly enveloped between the two..
as the music softened....intensely slow....
something happened to his face then....
she saw it change...
saw the smooth skin tauten..
watched the look in his eyes become serious &
totally involved with her....
her heart began to thud rhythmically as his mouth
tightened into a masculine line....
she wanted to feel against her lips & skin....
as he pulled her tight against him...
she had the feeling of being caught in a dream...
floating....
throughout this dance..
she felt as if he were making love to her...
though he did nothing more overt
than hold her exceptionally close...
& moving his lips against her shoulder....
kissing away the drops of water.....
drinking them away....
one of his hands caressed her waist..
while the other her neck...
he was madly into her...
just like she was...
finalyy...
after wat seemed to be a lifetime to her....
his mouth closed over hers....
her own twining with his...
& all of her greeted the invasion
with muted ecstacy...
she could feel the heat
building inside his body,
transmitting excitement to her own...
& wen d song was over...
she felt a devastating sense of
loss when he stepped back....
but she was in for a surprise...
he gently lifted her in his arms....
& carried her to the cushions...
laying down next to her....
yet again he did nothing to her....
his thighs brushed against hers....
as he rested his head on one arm..
& played with her hair...
& then circled his fingers around her naval...
"raj..don't do that...it tickles..."
she hid her face in his chest.....
& he wrapped her into his arms...
after a few minutes....he stood up...
"kya hua?"
"a...i won't be able to ...hold back tonight...."
he looked away....
"i'm ..sorry...
i shouldn't have led you...
raj...the ring is gorgeous...."
he looked back & smiled...
a smile dat melted her heart....
& gave her his hand...
picking her up...
"dat was supposed to be your surprise...
jis din main tumhe bike par....
i'm glad u like my choice....."
"humaari engagement...
bhaai has to know now....
mere bas ki baat nahi hai...
tum bataana..."
"haan-haan...kar do meri gardan aage....
hum dono kal usse bata dete hain..."
she smiled and nodded.....
"bahut late ho gaya hai...chalein?"
he sighed..."chalo...."
she went out of the line of the rain...
& dried herself with the
spare towels present...
he was standing close to her...
and wen she tried to dry her hair...
all the water sprinkled on him.....
she didn't realise...
raj decided to have a little more fun....
he snatched the towel from her...
put it around her neck....
& hummed...
"Roop tera mastanaa pyaar mera dewaana
Bhool kabhi humse na ho jaye.....
Raat nashilee mast shamma hai
Aaj nashe me sara jahan hai....."
he shook his head wildly...
as d drops flew to her face....
"hadh ho gayi!!!!!
tumhe itni masti kyon sooj rahi hai....."
she lightly slapped him on his cheek...
but he held her fingers....
playing with them.....
he winked at her....
"i feel i'm drunk...."
"bina peeye hi?"
"piya to tha..."
"kya??....
alright!!!!...don't answer dat!....
i'm sorry i asked...."
she blushed...
sure dat he meant the drops on her shoulder...
he grinned...
"you've begun to understand me!
you'll prove to be an awesome wife..."
blew the tendrils away from her face...
picked up his dry coat &
led her out.....
as they walked along the lakeside..
in the starry sky...
with naina wearing his coat...
& the cold waves lashing at their feet...
he told her...
"Haay sharabi mausam behakaye
Aankhon se aankh miltee hai aise
Bechain hoke sahil se takaraye
Rok raha hai humko jamana ....
Door he rehana paas na aana...."
"nahi aaoongi...don't worry..."
she pushed him away....
"i wish this night would never end...."
he faced her....& wat was becoming habitual for the two...
took her in his arms....
they lay like this for a long time....
simply listening to the sound of their heartbeats...
& to the waves lashing at their feet.....
the moon cast their shadow on the wooden bridge....
& it looked like a blissfull couple ...madly in love...
falling in a passionate embrace...
little did raj know dat the night had just begun!!!!!
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
