Ragini woke up hearing a knock at her door.
Nachiket?
Ragini, get dressed and come with me fast
No way, Nachiket... Do you know what the time is?
Yes I do... Now please get ready fast.
Nachiket what will the others think? We are here for a medical conference, remember? Now go back to bed before someone sees you.
Aargh... Are you going to come with me or must I tie you up and carry you?
No... I am not coming with you and that's final.
Okay you leave me with no choice.
He moved to the cupboard and pulled out a beautiful red saree.
Now are you going to get dressed or do you want me to undress you?
I told you I am not going anywhere.
Okay then I must undress you.
Nachiket... Aaargh... You are such a difficult man. Okay I'll be ready in five. Now please wait outside.
That's like my Ragini... Oh... And let me warn you, I have another key to this room and if you are not out in five minutes then I am coming in.
I said I'll be there... Now go.
...
Nachiket, at least now you can tell me where you are taking me.
Don't you trust me darling?
Of course I do... But...
No buts... Now walk as fast as you can, we must not be late.
Ragini walked fast trying to catch up with him. She sighed thinking what will happen if anyone sees her with him. He will just smile and look non-chalant and she will have to be the one to bear all the teasing. She didn't know why she loved him so much. The cold mountain air made her shiver a little. She was thankful that she had her warm clothes on.
Here we are.
Nachiket pulled her up and Ragini looked around and saw that they were standing at the edge of a cliff. The cliff overlooked a valley of flowers and in front of the beautiful mountains of Switzerland towered. In the pinkish orange light of the dawn, they valley looked beautiful.
This is a wonderful place Nachiket.
Ah... You have not seen it fully. Now remove your coat and scarf.
But it's cold, Nachiket...
It won't be in a few minutes, trust me.
She did as he instructed and rubbed her hands together. He came behind her and hugged her making her feel warm. She leaned back at him and closed her eyes enjoying the comfort of his closeness.
Babe, open your eyes... I brought you here to see this.
She slowly opened her eyes to a magnificent sight. The mountains were glowing like hot embers. A golden glow was spreading over the entire valley. She looked down to see the flowers looking gorgeous in the first sunlight of the day. She felt the warmth of the sun flooding her and she took a deep breath inhaling the fragrance of the newly bloomed flowers. Suddenly she felt him move away. She turned around to see him kneeling in front of her.
Ragini, will you be with me every time the sun rises?
She felt hot tears form in her eyes. She felt as if all her dreams had come true. This was why she loved him so much. She held his collar and pulled him up and kissed him fully in the lips. Nachiket was shocked. This was the first time she had kissed him on her own. He put his arms on her waist and kissed her back. Her arms went around his neck and one of them clutched his hair as the kiss deepened. They slowly pulled away for breath. Nachiket rested his head on hers.
You still didn't answer me.
Do I have to spell it out for you?
Well... I don't mind if you answer me again in the same way.
Ragini pushed him away playfully and ran away from him. He ran behind her trying to catch her.
The sun had risen and the lovers knew that it brought new hope with it.
...
Nachiket stood by the window waiting for his cup of coffee. He was an early riser. He saw the sun rising up and clenched his fists. She had broken her promise. He turned away dreading what the day may bring. More heartbreak? More sorrow? Another Nightmare.
...
Ragini stood by the window. She had spent another sleepless night. She saw the sun rising and a drop of tear fell down her face. He had broken her heart. She turned away dreading what the day may bring. More pain? More hurt? Another Nightmare.
...
The sun looked at them sadly. If only they knew that it brought hope with it as it always had done. If only they could be together as they were that day to joyfully receive the hope it gave them today. If only... Yes... If only they knew... Their lives can be a dream instead of a nightmare.
