ADVINI TS - MY SAVIOUR Part 3 (Last Part) Pg 7 Up! - Page 5

Next morning she woke up with a new zeal as she recalled his confession. She completely forgot the incident that happened the other day. She had a long shower, wearing her bathrobe she stood in front of her wardrobe all muddled up as to what to wear. Shikha woke up from her sleep and her jaw dropped seeing the condition of the room. She rubbed her eyes to assure herself that she was in her Ever-So-Clean jiji's room which now was nothing short of a mess with all her clothes piled up on the bed. She looked at her jiji standing near the closet confused like hell. She placed a hand on her shoulder and asked about what she was searching.

"I have nothing nice to wear, Shikha" Chandini said sitting on the bed with a dejected look on her face.

Shikha was shocked for the second time in a row. "Aaj pakka Suraj paschim se uga hai"(I am sure today the sun has risen from the west) she muttered under her breath as she realised that her jiji who always reprimanded Megha who always complained about how less number of clothes she owned today was whining for the same reason. But on the other hand, Shikha was happy that Chandini didn't mention anything about yesterday's incident. Shaking her head, Shika picked out a red chudidaar for her.

Shikha (showing it to Chandini) - Wear this jiji

Chandini - Don't you know I wear sarees. It is one of the very few chudidaars I own. Please choose something from the sarees... pointing at her huge collection of sarees.

Shikha - No, try something different today. People are also bored to see you in these sarees. You look bigger than your age. I am not going to hear anything. You are wearing this and that's final...she said pushing her in the bathroom.

"You are changing Jiji. And I know the reason for this change. I am happy that you are finally moving on from the past" Shikha said to herself.

Slipping into the dress, she stood in front of the mirror checking herself.

Shikha (blowing a flying kiss) - Looking pretty jiji... that was when Chandini finally beamed.

The first thing Indrani Vashishth did today was breaking PP and Chandini's alliance. She had strictly ordered everyone in the house especially her sisters to not to bring up the yesterday's topic. They were seated in the living room when a chirpy Chandini came and embraced her mother tightly. Indrani was fearing that Chandini would draw herself into a shell again as she did a year back when she was kidnapped. But she was glad that Chandini had emerged out strong and was trying to forget the fateful event. She kissed her forehead and complimented her choice of dress to which she smiled and winked at Shikha. She scanned the whole area but couldn't find the man of her interest.

"Hadd hai, jab main nahi chahti ke who mere paas rahe tab toh bhavre ki tarah mere peeche mandrate rehte hai. Ab jab mujhe unhe dekhne ka itna dil kar raha hai, who hai ki rafoo chakkar ho gaye" (This is heights. When I don't want him to be around me, he finds 1000 ways to be near me. And now when my heart wants his one glimpse, God knows where he has gone) she huffed in anger.

It was 1 in the afternoon but he had still not exited his room. She was standing behind the pillar near his room from God knows when, but sadly all her efforts went in vain as he didn't leave his room. Sighing she was about to go, when she heard the click of his door. He came out in casuals wearing denims and a black shirt looking smoking hot. She was literally drooling at him and checking him out. His sharp senses caught her staring at him and he smiled amusedly but his smile vanished when he remembered yesterday's events making him guilty as well as angry on her and he averted his gaze from her. He looked at his right hand which was bandaged, of course he knew she had done it. He vaguely remembers Chandini coming to his room and tending to his bruises rest was a blur memory. He needed time and space to come out of this guilt thus he decided it was better to ignore her for some time.

He tried to walk past her but stopped in his tracks hearing her beautiful voice calling out to him.

Chandini - Suniye (Listen)

He saw her coming towards him but was amazed seeing his usually feisty Chand all blushing and shyly looking down. Chandini was about to say sorry but he stopped her by showing his hand and left from there leaving a confused Chandini behind.

"Is he that mad that he is not even willing to talk to me. I know I should have listened to him for which I am really sorry but he didn't even give ears to my words. Looking at him, I doubt he remembers his own confession, hugs and kisses." Though the thought pained her, she shrugged it off when she realised his drunk form. But she had made up her mind to gain his apology and was determined to lighten his mood when he returns. She knew what she had to do. The whole day she waited for him but he didn't turn up but she didn't budge from her resolution. It was 11 when he finally entered Vashishth Haveli and went straight to his room locking it.

She somewhere felt he was hungry and it was the best time to execute her idea. "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach" she smiled remembering the age old saying. She wore her apron and lovingly prepared his favourite dishes, noodles and pasta. Taking a duplicate key of her former room, she arranged the food in tray and went to his room. Her heart started beating wildly as the flashes of their cute romance of yesterday played in her mind. She unlocked his room and she was again greeted with the same sight except that today he held a guitar rather than a drink, this means he was in his senses. He felt her near him and looked back at the entrance only to find her gazing at him. "Go Chandini" was all he said and resumed to play the instrument.

Chandini - I will not leave. Not before you listen to me.

He closed his eyes to compose himself. He was still not prepared to face her.

Chandini - Please forgive me. I know I should have taken you seriously. I didn't know that PP was so deceptive. Also, I want to thank you for saving me. I am aware this is the reason you are angry on me and not talking to me but I promise (pinching her neck) from now onwards I will not take you lightly. I will follow your each and every advice. But please don't avoid me. It hurts...she finished as a lone tear escaped her eyes.

She didn't realise that he now stood in front of her with hands folded with an amusing smile playing on his lips at the same time shaking his head at her childishness and innocence. He wiped her tears and saw that she held a tray full of his favourite dishes. Suddenly his appetite was back and he pulled the tray from her hand.

Advay - Did you make all these to earn my apology?

She nodded her headed vigorously and he had this sudden urge to kiss her senseless. He was never angry at her but angry at himself as he failed to protect her. But he decided to have some fun and play along. It is been ages since he had pulled her leg. Leaning close to her, he whispered in her ear. "It is not easy to seek my forgiveness, Chandini. You have to try really hard." Not noticing the naughtiness in his tone, she replied hastily "I am ready to do anything. But please forgive me." She said showing her puppy eyes.

"Anything" he whispered in his husky voice

"Anything" she replied back in the same tone looking into his eyes

Breaking their eye-lock, he came back to his normal self and said

Advay - Ok so your first punishment. You will sit on the floor holding your ears till I finish all this.

Her mouth hung open at his kiddish punishment. She held her ears and sat on the floor facing him. He picked up his favourite noodles and the moment he took the first bite, he closed his eyes as he relished the first dish made by his to-be-wife. He felt like kissing her hands as he realised that his Chand was a great cook. He was taking his own sweet time to complete the dinner as he savoured each and every bite. She comprehended that he was really hungry and her eyes softened seeing him enjoying the food cooked by her. From his face, she was intelligent to gauge that he really liked her cooking skills but pouted

"It is clearly written on his face that how much he is loving the food. But he doesn't even have the courtesy to say whether he liked the food or not let alone compliment it. He is definitely a 6 feet ka insaan with 12 feet ka ego'." she said twitching her nose.

Advay - Waise, I think I need to free Murali from his kitchen duties soon

Chandini (confusedly) - Why so?

Advay (smirking) - Obviously, after our marriage, I would like you to treat me with these delicious food everyday

Chandini (unknowingly) - You are right. Maa also says that husbands love it when their wives cook for them. That is why I made all these for you... she continued blabbering not knowing what effect her words created on him.

Advay (cutting her off) - So should I take it as a yes

Chandini realised what she said and understood that he was referring to her answer for his proposal. An immediate blush crept up her cheeks as she was transported to the memories of his admission. Advay didn't want to intimidate her further and shrugged off the topic. He looked at the plates which looked like they have just been washed and smiled to himself.

"Back to earth my love. Time for your next punishment." He handed her a diary and a pen and she looked at him questioningly.

"It is very simple. You just have to write I am sorry Advay' 100 times. That's it"

She fumed at him and snatching the diary angrily she went to her room

"What does he think of himself? Am I a kid? Ah! What else can be expected from him afterall he is a professor."

She sat down on the bed to complete her punishment. She sincerely wrote the sentence for about 20 times when suddenly an idea struck her mischievous brain. She took out the sketch pens, colour pencils and displayed some great creative skills.

On one page she wrote "I am sorry Monster Singh Raizada" and drew a face of a devil with fangs. Then on the other she gave him all the foul adjectives starting from A to Z. Somewhere she also penned down the full form of his name

A - Arrogant

D - Dumb

V - Vampire (Because you always scare me)

A - Atrangi

Y - Yabba (Jamaican name for kulhad)

When she reached the last page, she remembered his words "So should I take it as a yes" and wrote something in its response. She reached his room, but he was nowhere to be found. She could hear the shower sound and she concluded that he was in the washroom. She tiptoed in his room and kept the diary on his bed. She exited his room and waited by the door to see his reactions. He changed into his night clothes a transparent white shirt and pjs and came out wiping his hair. He found the diary and sitting by the bed he opened it to read. He smirked when he read the first 20 lines and flipped further pages only to chuckle at the contents of the pages. He went through all the pages patiently but was amused at this one page which had the full form of his name. Chandini expected him to get angry but her heart missed a beat as she saw a boyish grin on his face and smiled unknowingly. When he reached the last page, he was surprised that she had pasted her photo and his heart fluttered in joy as he saw that she had coloured her partition with a red colour. Looking further down, his heart leaped in joy as it was written in bold "CHANDINI ADVAY SINGH RAIZADA". He was momentarily lost and unintentionally roamed his hands on her forehead and her new name. He was broken out of his thoughts as he heard the tinkling of her anklets and bangles and he knew she was here. He looked up to find her standing at the door and the moment he caught her gaze she ran away from there. He followed her to catch her and saw her heading on the terrace.

He reached the terrace and scanned the whole area but failed to find her. He stood by the small pond and his gaze fell on the clear water which mirrored the full moon. And then he saw her reflection in the water as she approached him with down cast eyes. His heart did a somersault as he saw her wearing his chunri. He pulled her by her waist and whispered

Advay - I never knew my Chand was so romantic... and kissed her right cheek

Blush crept up her cheeks, she still kept her gaze down.

Advay (raising her chin) - You know my Chandini is more beautiful than his Chandini he said pointing at the full moon in the sky...and she smiled at his romantic side.

Touching his forehead with hers, he said in a husky voice

Advay - Will you brighten my life with your presence? Will you replace Yash Narayan Vashishth with Advay Singh Raizada in your name? Will you be Mrs Advay Singh Raizada?

Separating herself, she fished her hands in his pocket and took out the gold coin he had given her. Clutching it to her heart she gave her consent. Advay was amazed at her actions. Cupping her cheeks he gently placed his lips on hers. It was their first kiss which was meant to be soft yet special. Chandini responded to him by closing her eyes and wrapping her hands around his neck. He broke the kiss soon and whispered

Advay - I love you Chand

Chandini - I love you too

He picked her up vertically by her legs and twirled her around. She giggled in happiness and they both said at the same time

"Chandini ka Advay aur Advay ki Chandini"
