Part 10(Last Part) : A New Chapter.
They hugged and the rest was forgotten.
He cried and she rubbed his back.
Finally he broke apart gain courage.
"I don't deserve you..!"
Anika frowning-"Sorry but you don't get anything better this Janam..!"
He chuckles his face stained with tears. As he looks at her.
Zindagi sitar ho gayi,
Rimjhim malhaar* ho gayi,
Mujhe aata nahi kismat pe apni yakeen, Kaise mujhko mili tum
Life has become like (melodious sound of) sitar
Like showers of Malhaar
I can't believe how fortunate I am to have you in my life
He wiped of the tear that rolled down her cheeks. She held his hand.."Chaliye!"she dragged him till the car. While he kept looking at her determination. She would never let him loose himself. Never. He smiled and looked once at the star lit sky. Thanking his lucky stars.
As they stood in front of the car she left his hand and turned to move towards the passenger seat of the car. But his hand tugged at hers.
She was pulled by him, to him. She looked at his eyes for an explanation. Jus saw him smile.
"Anika, I Love You..!"
She stared motionless.
"Jab se Meri zindagi main aayi ho, bahut saare raite phelaayen hain tumne..!"
Anika frowned. He was accusing her of spilling the Raita..! Before she could clearly register his two sentences he resumed speaking.
"Meri zindagi ab sirf tumhaare ird gird ghoomti hain. Pata nahi yeh kab kaise, tumhaari ho gayi. !"
She stood their speechless her heart seemed to have stop beating.
"Tumhaari language mein kahoon toh Anika, bahut saara raita phel gaya hai..! Meri har subha tum se shuru aur har din tum pe khatam. Everything is all yours. Tum meri jeene ki wajah ban gayi ho..! Anika,...
Pyaar ho gaya mujhe ..!!!
Tumse..!"
She smiled as tears of happiness made way. Finally he said it.! Paagal Insaan Inhe Ab pata chal raha hai..!
Anika-"Pata hai..!"
Shivaay looked dumbfounded. "Tumhe pata thaa..!"
Anika-"Ab aapke bole bina hii mujhe sab pata chal jaat hai..!"
Shivaay smiling-"Jaise mujhe dekhe bina pata chal jaat hai ki tum ho..!"
Anika-"Ab chale , bahut thand hai..!"
Shivaay- "Ek minute..tum mujh se abhi gussa ho..?? I mean aaj shaam se..
Anika making a grumpy face-" Haan.!"
Shivaay holding his hand, and guilt struck-"Kyun?"
Anika thought it was best to spill out all, once forever.
"Kyunki... Aap ne Kabhi mujhse nahi kaha kii main aapki biwi hoon ...pehle duniyaa se..kaha..!
Aap har baar hum dono ke liye decision le lete hain... Ek baar Shivaay ...ek baar mujh par bhi bharosa karke dehkiye...mujhe aapke saath khada hona hai...aapke aage yaan aapke peeche nahi... !"
She had started sobbing. Shivaay felt pained at what he saw. It seemed such a small thing to him but to her it was a big deal.!
Shivaay pulling her close wipes his tears.
"I m sorry Anika...main tumhe chota nahi dikhana chatha thaa...Anika tum jaanti ho...Jo mere dil mein hota hai wo main bahar nahi le aa pata...
I couldnt even manage to tell you directly that... ki haan main is shaadi ko maanta hoon... Kis much se keh thaa...haan tum Meri patni ho...Aur main tumse...pyaar karta hoon!" He completed the sentence for once.
She looked up at him.
She started hitting him on his shoulder. "I hate You Shivaay! I hate you..!"
She kept hitting and he let her. She finally stopped and hugged him crying out loud.
"Shivaay , I hate you...kyunki main naa chaa kar bhi aapse sirf pyaar kar sakti hoon..!"
He smiled amidst his tears, he rubbed her back.
After they had finally vent out all that lay in their heart, cried it out, and comforted each other, they finally broke apart.
She looked aside removing the hair that got stuck to her lips, sniffing. He smiled she was beautiful.
He cupped her face making her look at him.
Shivaay- "Bas Anika ab se no tears..hmm!"
Anika-"okay but aap mujhse promise kariye ki aap Kabhi muje apne aap se dhoor nahi karenge!"
Shivaay-Pinky promise! "
She extended her finger. Smiling.
He came forward and kissed her forehead.
She smiled, blushing.Wondering whether she should kiss him as well.
Deciding a No she went up to the car's door and so did he.
As they sat inside he studied her face and then looking ahead. "Kiss kar Sakti Ho..Pati Hoon Tumhara..!"
Her eyes widened, How did he know !
She looked at him like she saw a ghost.
He looked at her and shrugged-"What?"
Anika- "Aap ko kaise .
Shivaay coming closer whispers-" Tumhaari aakhein sab key deti hain..!"
He decided to pull himself away. He din't want to rush into things with his wife. He just wanted her to know that he would wait.!!
He once again smiled as he scaned her eyes. He was the happiest man on earth ! He was willing to wait an entire life for her, he din't want to make her uncomfortable.
As he was about to move back she came forward and kissed his forehead with all the love and then pecked his cheek. His eyes grew wide at the second. She turned to look outside the window unable to face him while he just smiled.
The entire drive he purposefully kept his hand moving on the gear, touching hers.she knew he did that on purpose and she welcomed it and kept her hand rooted there.
He knew, she knew. He focused on the road but the atmosphere in the car was just so different. It wasn't the sexual tension, it was entirely a different one.
As they reached home and got out of the car, they exchanged casual smiles as though they were two people on a meeting for arranged marriage.
As they walked inside, occasionally their hands touching. Finally both sighed and held each others at the same moment. They looked at each other and grinned wide as they moved to the room.
He shut the room's door once they were inside and quickly freshened up it was fifteen minutes to three on the clock. While she stood by the window staring at the night sky. This night was indeed the most beautiful night of her life.
She folded her hands rubbing them as the cold wind made her shiver. Not long before a new warmth engulfed her.
He was standing behind her hugging her from behind, sharing her thoughts and gazing at the night sky. She screwed her eyes shut as she felt her breathing synchronizing with his. He place his chin on the shoulder, his eyes closed. Only their breathing and heartbeats were heard.
As the wind grew cooler, both were brought back to real world.It had started drizzling.
She smiled as a few droplets kissed her face. They looked at the sky which was shedding a few happy tears and then at each other.
Shivaay- "Seems like HE is happy as well!"
Anika smiled.
He shut the window and she turned to look at him. He nuzzled close to her. Cupped her face. They shared their first ever kiss of love. Breaking apart, he carried her to bed.
Anika's heart thudded, as she lost herself in his engulf.
But before he could come over her, she rolled to the other side and sat up straight. He looked at her in bewilderment. She had just burst the big bubble of romance that he had created.
Was she okay?
He looks at her clueless-"Anika are you okay!"
She nodded in a yes. Looking aside.
Anika-"So jaaye..!"
He thought maybe she wasn't ready.
She saw the slightly hurt look on his face. Oh No. He was taking her wrong.
Shivaay absently nodded in a yes.He was still sitting on his knees wondering. She suddenly came close to him, on her knees and hugged him.taken aback he placed his hands on her waist to support himself.
Yes, Anika you can say it, she told herself.
Anika whispered into his ears:
"Wo aapko allowed nahi Hai,..Prescription sheet mein likha thaa..!"
She immediately breaks the hug pecks him on his cheeks and sleeps turning on the other side.
It took him two minutes to register what she had meant.Oh damn, he wasn't suppose to have any intense physical activity for a month or so, Damn. He had totally forgotten about it. It had been mentioned in the list of preventions the doctor had given..!
He looked at his wife and grinned, he just fell deeper on love with her with every minute.
He quickly switched off the lamp on his side and went over her.
She immediately turned and saw him stare at her.
Shivaay- "I love you..!" He grinned cheekily.
Anika blushed-"pata hai..!"
Shivaay raised his eyebrow-"Itni Tadi mat maaro,aadat dalo ab main subha shaam yahi kahoonga to make up for not telling it earlier..." He winked.
"Aur haan, aise blush mat karo, I feel like making you blush even more...!" He said staring at her lips.
Anika -"Haww.. "She opened her mouth and hit him on his shoulder " Cheapde!"
Shivaay -"Ouch..!"
Anika concerned-"Oh no sorry zor se laga Kya?"
Shivaay naughtily-"Bilkul nahi..!"
She hit a still harder one "Dramebaaz..!"
She had pushed him and he had fallen back on the bed.
She made a face at him.
Shivaay-"Dramebaaz nahi...Ishqbaaz..!" He pulled her to him.
She broke into a wide smile,pecked his Lips, "Ishqbaaz..!"
He was in shock."Ahh haan, !" Nodding his head -"Ishqbaazi toh kisi aur ke sar chadi hui hai!"
She gave him a deadly stare -"Good night Mr.Tadibaaz ..!"
He held her hand as she was about to turn to the other side-"Hug karke so toh sakte hain..!"
She raised his eyebrows as he made puppy like face.
No Anika, make it still hard for him, give him back all that Tadi..! She reminded herself.
He took full advantage of her blank expression-"Kya Hua ...tumse..control nahi hoga..!"
And his arrow hit the target at once she gave him that challenging look.
Yes. Mrs. TadiBaaz was back.
She smiled -"Aisa kuch nahi Hai, she turned towards him!" Pecked him once again on his lips. Put her hands over him. And screwed her eyes shut, nuzzling close to his chest.
Shivaay rolled his eyes.
Damn it, she was giving him back in multifold. He stared at her lips.
Damn You Mrs Shivaay Singh Oberoi, you have made me crazy. Sleep was far away. Only he knew how he kept himself in sanity.
Half an hour had passed with Sleep far away. How could he sleep, with the woman in his arms torturing him, he had a hard time keeping his hands to himself and being the gentleman.
He saw her, she slept peacefully in his arms.
Soon contentment filled him. He could see his Angel sleep now, and consider sleeping the day tomorrow. Much Better Bargain.
And he lost himself in her.
He couldnt thank the Almighty Enough for the gift he had given him, HER..!
*The End.
