OS: I've Been Waiting For You

I, I've been in love before
I thought I would no more
Manage to hit the ceiling
Still, strange as it seems to me
You brought it back to me
That old feeling
Ragini sat on the bed feeling all flustered up because of him. He did this to her every time and today was just too much. Why? What did he do? He didn't do anything... he just leant over and took the paan' scolded her mind. Yes that was all he did but she had been waiting to be so close to him ever since he left her that he had started a strange yet familiar sensation in the pits of her stomach and now she felt them all over her body. She tried to ignore them as she knew that this marriage was not going to last, but, her body refused to listen to her. Instead of feeling repulsed by him, she felt her legs trying to pull her towards the washroom where he had gone to wash his face. She curled her toes and her fist to compose herself. She knew by experience that all these were signs that she was beginning to fall for him again. She sighed. She ought to have learnt her lesson long ago when he had left her all alone. If not then, she should have learnt it when he left her again. But how could she, when his mere proximity made her heart flutter and long to have him in her arms? Not knowing what to do, she did as he had instructed and put the paan in her mouth waiting for him to come out.
I, I don't know what you do
You make me think that you
Possibly could release me
I think you'll be able to
Make all my dreams come true
And you ease me
It had been a hard day at the hospital as a patient had undergone a premature labor and there had been an accident case brought in at the same time. As the admin head she had had her hands full and was rushing here and there barking orders and arranging the doctors. She felt tired. She just opened the door and slumped into the nearest chair. She slowly leaned her head back and shut her eyes trying to relax. She suddenly felt his hands on her forehead massaging it slowly.
"Hard day, huh?"
"Yes... You needn't do this, Nachiket."
"I sure need to return the kindness you showed me last night by going to bed with the lights off."
"Mmm... Thank you... I am feeling so good."
"Glad to lend a hand."
She felt herself falling into a dreamless slumber as he continued easing her headache. Suddenly, she felt him stop and she felt sad that he had stopped. In an instant she felt her heart flutter as his hands slowly lifted her up. She had missed being carried by him and today her long wait was over. She smiled with her eyes closed and mumbled.
"You are very sweet, Nachiket"
You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you
It was quite an accident. She was in a hurry and had barged into the room to get her saree only to catch him removing his Tees. She didn't know that he was back so soon. Had she known, she would have followed their strict rule of only one person in the room while changing. His back was towards her and she stood by the door rooted to the ground. She tried to remind to herself that she had already seen more of him before and she must by now be used to this sight. But that was long, long ago and it's not wrong to look at your HUSBAND. Remember, how you longed for this when he was away?' said her heart. But her mind disapproved saying that the best thing she can do now was to go before he caught her drooling at him and they have another of their awkward moments that they seemed to have in plenty these days. And she knew her mind was right. But it was too late now, he was already turning around. She tried turning her head away, but it felt as if it had been made of stone.
"Ragini??"
"Uh... I was... uh... saree... yes; I came here to take this saree. I was in a hurry so... uh... I didn't... uh... knock...uh..."
"Okay, okay, no problem."
"I need to use the washroom..."
Saying so, she rushed in and locked the door firmly from the inside. She splashed some water on her face and looked at herself in the mirror and kept her hand on her chest trying to control her fluttering heart. He must have thought her very desperate. Somewhere, deep inside her heart, she knew that the calm, composed and always-in-control Ragini was lost now. In her place stood a desperate woman who was desperately wishing to make him completely hers.
I, I'm gonna make you mine
You're gonna feel so fine
You'll never want to leave me
I feel you belong to me
Someday you will agree
Please, believe me
She walked around the hall trying to calm her nerves. He wasn't home yet and it was raining cats and dogs outside. True, he had called her to tell her that he would be late but, that was two hours ago and now he was not picking up the phone. She switched on the TV to hear news of a flyover collapse due to rain and felt her heart stop beating. He usually used that way to come home. She sat down on the chair, hot tears filling her eyes. She looked up to here a knock at the door. Slowly, she opened the door fearing the worst possible news, but, to her intense relief and surprise, it was him.
"Nachiket?"
"What's the matter, Ragini? I told you I'll be late."
She couldn't tell anything so she just pulled him into a hug and wept her heart out. He was shocked but composed himself and slowly rubbed her back.
"Shhh... Will you tell me what happened?"
"There... was... a..an accident... flyover collapsed."
"Ragini, I am safe... Look... I am perfectly fine. How can I not come back, when I knew you were waiting for me?"
She looked at him looking at her with concern and fell in love again. He was right, he belonged solely to her and she would let no harm touch him until she was alive. As she kept looking into his eyes, he bent down and gave her a light peck on the forehead making her heart flutter.
"I am sorry for the tears, Ragini."
You thrill me, you delight me
You please me, you excite me
You're something I'd been pleading for
I love you, I adore you
I lay my life before you
I'll have you want me more and more
And finally it seems my lonely days are through
I've been waiting for you
Oh, I've been waiting for you
"Ragini... Ragini... Where are you?"
"I am in the bedroom, Nachiket."
He came in and lifted her in his arms and twirled her round and round.
"Whoa... Nachiket... Stop... Tell me what happened?"
"Ragini... Nishi... is..."
"WHAT?"
"Nishi is PREGNANT. The treatment worked."
"Really? Yes and you know Jignesh and Nishi finally feel that they must be together."
"This is the BEST NEWS ever."
"Our plan worked... Didn't it?"
"Yes it did..."
"Now we can move..."
He stopped abruptly as he realized what he was about to say. The smile on their faces faded as the reality struck them. The CONTRACT. He moved away from her.
"I am sorry for getting excited, Ragini... I should have stayed in my limits."
Ragini felt angry. Now, after five and a half months of happiness with him, she must go back to her lonely, sad life. She looked at him standing dejected and decided that she had got him after so long and she was not going to let him go that easily. She went near him and grabbed the collars of his shirt with her hands and pulled him so close to her that their noses were touching.
"Ragini... what..."
"Why should you?"
"Huh?"
"Why should you stay in your limits?"
"Ragini... what do you mean... leave me..."
Instead of doing what he commanded, she pulled him even closer to her.
"After all, we are legally married. Aren't we?"
"B..but... My... commitment... to... Nivedita?... She..."
She hated that name, especially when it dropped from his mouth and today, she was in no mood to listen to things she hated. So, she slammed her lips on his, shutting him up immediately. He tried to pull back but she didn't let him and he finally gave in and kissed her back. Her hands found his hair and his hands found her waist. The kiss was hungry, passionate and full of untold longing for each other. She suddenly pulled back and he lifted his brows questioning her. She looked at his eyes filled with a hungry look and felt satisfied. He craved for her as much as she had craved for him. She gave him a sly smile.
"So, Dr. Khanna...you were just saying... something... about... your commitments?"
"To hell with my commitments... I am committed to you Mrs. Khanna. Do you want to know how much?"
Saying so, he lifted her up and carried her to their bed. She giggled girlishly as her heart fluttered.
"Of course... After all that is what I've been waiting for."
