They had dinner in silence. Both replaying the evening in their minds. Nachiket couldnt belive he had spoken those words, "How could he have so easily deciphered his own feelings, his own thoughts, so clearly and put them into words". It wasnt usual for the Nachiket, he was, to understand himself so well.. But he had done it, and it had given him a sense of satisfaction, for he had spoken from heart to none other than the person, who understood him the most, who loved him the most, who craved for him equally if not more.. But "Wait!!", his mind suddenly sounded an alarm.. "was that true, did she have the same thirst for him, as he did for her? Did she desire him physically, in the same way that he did?". She hadnt said anything, not even a word, in reply to his heart pour.. He started to get restless, in-spite of his heart saying yes to all his questions, a slight doubt lingered.
Ragini had had the most beautiful evening of her life, What could be more beautiful than hearing your husband say he craves for your body even at that age.
"Nachiket, 15 saal pehle jo hua, kitna stupid lagta hai na? Kaash, kisi ne hame thapad maarke kaha hota ke tum dono alag nahi ho sakte ho.. Kaash hame kahinse samaj aagi hoti..toh hum itne saal nahi khote..", Ragini said lost in her thoughts, moving the fork on her empty plate..
"hmm", he replied.
Then there was silence.
After a while Nachiket spoke, "Ragini, 15 saal baad, jab hum aise hee dinner kar rahe honge, tab...mai chahata hoon tum kaho, 'pechle 15 saal, kitne khoobsurat the na Nachiket'. I want to create so many memories in these coming days, that we forget the bitterness of the past 15 years and I will do whatever possible to get that..All I want is for you to walk with me.. Are you with me?", he asked in a most loving tone.
"hmmhmm..", she said in assurance, as she caressed his hand, before collecting the plates and making her way to the sink.
She could sense, the question carried more with it.. Playing the events back, they had eaten in silence, he had abruptly stopped the car on the way back.. She knew, he expected her response, there was a reason why he had suddenly stopped the car.
She wanted to tell him, that she felt the same, she wanted to tell him that his touch always sent a shiver down her spine, his kiss aroused her and she felt divine when he made love to her. Her ears yearned to hear her name in his voice, her hands craved to be held and she could never get enough of him. But she didnt say any of that, for she feared, that it would make the next 2 weeks very difficult for them, it would make tonight very difficult for them and also, Nachiket seemed fine without her verbal assurance, he probably didnt expect her to say it, she thought.
Nachiket was engrossed in thoughts for all the time, when she was silently cleaning the dishes, then Taking a sip of water, Nachiket spoke, "Ragini, today morning, when you were disturbed regarding our age, what exactly was your concern? what were you exactly worried about?"
Ragini was jolted out of her thoughts, she turned around and stopped doing the dishes. "huh?", she asked, not understanding the intent of his question.
"What were you worried about, was it that you have become old and I might not like you, or you thought, I am old or what was it?"
"It was just that, I felt that it was inappropriate for our age to do what we are doing. I see people around me who are my age, and they dont think about going on a honeymoon, they talk about work, house, kids, getting their kids married and grandkids"
"bus? Itna hi tha?", he asked, expectantly..
