Hi guys. This OS is in continuation with my previous one So Far... So Close. Hope you remember that one..if not you can read it from my Index. The portions in color are lines from the song Heaven by Bryan Adams.Hope you will like this one.😊
They walked down the road…hand in hand…..smiling…..
They had so much to say….however insignificant it might be…..every event, every incident, every stupid detail had to be shared.
It was getting dark….but the time hardly mattered to them……
What mattered were each other…..and they were with each other…now.
Raghav knew she have had a hard time……he himself had a rough time not being able to see her.
He was happy to see her happy.
The weather was changing…….it was getting windy……but it was not a rough wind……
Sia shivered a bit. Raghav put his hands around her shoulder…..pulled her close to himself…..sharing his warmth with her.
Sia smiled looking at Raghav,
Sia looked at the sky…..it was cloudy…..but the last rays of Sun had not vanished yet...she felt the wind on her face……
Her heart felt hollow and yet so full….. she felt calm and yet so restless…… she felt down and yet so strangely happy……
They had reached the Bus Stand. They were alone there.
Raghav was having a look at the Showpiece he bought for her……
He smiled looking at it…..it was indeed a very nice showpiece……Sia always does gets angry and sits like this…..trying hard to ignore him….but he is Raghav Oberoi….no one can escape his charm!
He looked up…wondering why she was so silent.
She was just standing there…….watching the cars and buses passing by……
Raghav didn't say anything……
He remembered the first time he had adored her……the day she had worn Elite's School Uniform for the first time. That day the feelings were different…he hardly knew her then….he was just checking out a new girl….someone who looked good and was different…… but now……
…….She has become the ONE……
She is the one who matters to him the most…..she is the one whom he cares about the most…..she is the one whom he loves the most.
Sia didn't know why she stood silent…..she closed her eyes...and sighed.
She was so happy….then why did she feel like crying?
It started raining.
Sia opened her eyes…..the smell of fresh earth filled her body…her soul…the cold gust of wind made her feel fresh…..she suddenly felt very at ease…..very soothing…….she extended her arm to feel the raindrops…..
Raghav came and stood close to her. He was also watching the rain.
Her eyes were moist too….she knew she was crying. She needed this rain. His unexpected presence had got all her emotions bundle up into something strange...and her tears were only expressing what her words could not express….just like the sky was doing now.
Who will turn your world around
Yeah, nothing could change what you mean to me
But just hold me now
Raghav saw her crying. He was surprised.
Sia smiled….and yet she had tears in her eyes. Sia touched his face with her fingers…
Raghav smiled…..a few minutes earlier she was crying cause he was not there and now she was crying because he was there……he knew it was hard to understand her emotions…but it was even harder to explain his own emotions….
All this time he had wanted her so much……and it was difficult to say exactly how much.
He took her hand and put a kiss on it.
"pata he mujhe Raghav…."
Raghav now smiled wickedly……
" Pata he? acha to bolo Pushpa…aisa kyun hota he…ki jabvi barish hota he….hum dono ek shade ke niche Akele phas jate he?"
Sia was surprised at this question.
Yeh kaisa sawal he? Akele phas jate he? kya bol raha…..
Sia suddenly felt very embarrassed remembering that night…..although her relationship with Raghav have passed those initial stages of awkwardness and embarrassments….but his sudden remarks like this still made her blush like anything.
" Mujhe pata nahi tum kya bol rahe ho?"
Raghav grinned. He bent his head and kissed her on her cheeks,
"I love it when you blush like this…….Pushpa"
Sia pushed him away immediately.
"kya kar rahe ho Raghav? Yeh Elite nahi…main road he!"
"Toh? Yahhan kaunsa Bulldog he…….jo hume dekh kar chillaega?"
"coach nahi he to kya…bohot sare log to he raaste par!"
Raghav now again showed his battameez smile and winked..
" Thik he…tum itna insist kar rahe ho….to……hum Elite pauch kar continue karenge…ok?"
Sia gave him a stern look,
"Tum kitna battameez ho!! Mere kehna ka yeh matlab nahi tha!!"
Raghav continued to smile. He wanted to cheer her up…make her feel good….he wanted her to be just like this…like Pushpa.
Raghav's phone rang…..it was Arjun calling.
Raghav: Ha..Juno bol…..ha hum arahe he…barish ho raha he…to bus nahi mil raha tha.
_________
Raghav: Hmm…Pushpa is very….. emotional…will be the right term…..tujhe to pata he kitni roti he wo!
Sia hit him on his arms.
Sia: Arjun ko complain karna meri kaam he..tumhara nahi….tumhe koi right bhi nahi he!
Raghav: Juno…me tujhe baad me bata ta hoon…yahhan bolunga toh punch mar degi…ok bye! See you soon buddy!
Sia turned her face towards the window angrily.
Raghav : Pushpa….Juno mera buddy he…me use kuch bhi bol sakta hoon…..
Sia: Me tumse baat nahi kar rahi!
Raghav: Kyun??
Sia: Me tumse naraz thi…vul gaye kya? Tumne jaan bhuj ke mujhse mazzak kiya….tumhare liye to sab ek prank he!
Raghav: Pushpa…..sorry……tum naraaz rahoge to mujhe acha nahi lagega.
Sia: toh..isse mujhe kya?
Raghav: mujhe bura lagega…to tumhe acha thodi na lagega?
Sia looked at him and suddenly remembered something.
Sia put her head on his shoulders.
"Mujhe bilkul achi nahi lagti he…..jab tum udaas rehte ho Raghav…."
That was what he liked in her a lot. The way her mood changed so quickly…just a few seconds earlier she was shouting at him and now…..she cared about him so much.
He gently moved aside her loose hair from her face.
" me tume apne pranks se bohot hurt karta hoo na?"
" Hmm….."
"I am sorry Pushpa……."
"Raghav …tum mujhe hurt karte ho….par mere face par smile tumhi late ho…."
Raghav smiled hearing that.
"I love you……..Pushpa"
Sia sighed, " me bhi Raghav……"
Raghav smiled softly and looked outside. It was quite misty from the rain. He could not see the roads clearly
Sia was feeling cold from the wind…she shivered.
Raghav reached out and closed the window. He rested his head against her.…holding her close….feeling her heart beat…taking in her smell.
But what happened…..was totally unexpected…….she had never imagined that he will be back like this.
She laughed at her stupidity…..how she have hurt herself thinking that he will never return…and now…he was here. She promised herself never to cry thinking what would happen….what mattered was what was happening……
He was here to wipe her tears…he was here to put a smile on her face…he was here to tease her with his words…..he was here to care…..he was here to protect……he was here to love…..
He was here with her at the moment….they were together……and that was enough.
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't hard to see
We're in heaven
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
