Hey I am back with another OS on ViTharv!❤️
This scene is out of the context. This is a scene I so wanted to see after Atharv recovers and Vividha is free from the forced marriage. It's after they come back to Ajmer and their marriage preparations are in full swing. They have been engaged for over a month now and their love has only grown by leaps and bounds!😳
Regarding the pain and memory in the last paragraph, it was how disgusted Vividha felt after being molested. That pain and sorrow was there, which I had to mention.
ViTharv OS- The Attic
Vividha was done with the final touches of the attic situated in the uppermost corner of Atharv's factory. She had given this a lot of thought and had come with this idea. Everytime she came to meet him, there would be his employees and his staff. Atharv didn't believe in the whole boss- employee relation. For him, his staff was his family and hence he didn't have his own cabin. Though everybody knew about their relation and the upcoming nuptials, there were times when she wanted some privacy for themselves which was nowhere to be found since he was always surrounded by his family.
Vividha was impressed with the way he treated his staff, with love, care and utmost respect. She had fallen in love with this man, but she respected him equally as much as she loved him. For him, his staff's problems were equally disturbing as his own, which made her respect him immensely.
She had told him to wait back in office as she had planned a surprise for him. These both, madly in love souls loved giving each other surprises. It kept the magic alive in their relationship.
She went back to time, when she used to fight her feelings for this very man! She went back in time, when she listened to her heart but couldn't decipher the depth of her feelings for this very man!
Today she was a proud girl, who had finally accepted her feelings, inferred the calling of her heart and wholeheartedly admitted that she is irrevocably in love with this very man, Atharv Sujata!
She smiled remembering their confession, it was beautiful and the kiss, the most passionate. There were few words spoken, but both knew the gravity of the love! The despair in her voice, the longing in that kiss and the yearning to be with him. She loved him heart, body and soul!
She had fallen in love with his each of his virtues. She loved how he lived life in the moment, she loved how he lived life to the fullest, she loved how compassionate he was, she loved how hardworking he was, she loved how respected women! She freaking loved his every habit too!
He was flawed, to the core of it. At first he turned out to be broodish, moody, and arrogant yet he was pleasantly lovable, funny and passionate. There was something that connected these two beautiful souls in an undying bond of respect and love!
Vividha was getting restless now, her excitement knew no bounds. This was her dream surprise she wanted him to see, know his reaction and his happiness. She knew he was going to love it, how could he not? She came down from the attic and saw him dedicatedly working on his economic projects.
Vividha: "Atharv...chale?"
Atharv: "Hmm...bas 15 minute aur...ise khatam kar loon."
Vividha was in no mood to listen to him whining about the work. She literally grabbed his arm and pulled him out of his chair.
Atharv: "Kya kar rahi hai aap?"
Vividha: "Tumhe kuch dikhana hai...kitna natak karte ho?"
Atharv: "Haan, chal raha hoon."
As soon as he said that, she placed her long, slender fingers on his eyes, clasped his right palm and was instructing him to walk with her.
As they reached the attic room, she led him inside and gently removed her palms. It took him a moment to soak in the happiness seeing this beautifully decorated room. The room was done in pale creamy yellow shades, with traditional Rajasthani painting adoring the small walls. The curtains were simple white and were swaying to the tunes of the wind flowing in through that one single window. There was a small bed, enough for two of them.
In one corner of the room, lay a small table and on that sat a beautiful vase with white lilies. Atharv loved white lilies. But the image that caught his eyes was their engagement photo, beautifully framed in a brown, rosewood frame. That was the moment both were lost in each other and Guddi had clicked it unknowingly. He had loved the photo for the purity and divinity of their love. It was a simple picture, but for both it meant the world.
He hugged her tightly, nearly crushing her. She hugged him back. They stayed there, in complete silence; she rested her head against his chest, listening to their hearts beat in rhythm with each other. He could clearly hear her heart racing, her beats getting faster, all he did was crush her against his chest, tighten his grip around her waist, and stood still until, her heart was back to normal. She slowly raised her head from his chest while they stood there, their eyes speaking. Speaking a thousand unsaid words, a thousand unsaid feelings and countless days of feeling of betrayal, he spoke first.
Atharv: "Aapne ye sab kab kiya?"
Vividha: "Kuch din pehle...usi din se jabse tum mujhe avoid kar rahe ho..."
Atharv: "Main aapko avoid kar raha hoon?"
Vividha: "Haan..."
Atharv: "Waise aapne ye kiya kyun?"
Vividha: "Kyunki jab bhi main tumse milne aati hoon, tumhare office wale hamesha waha rehte hai..."
Atharv: "To usme kya problem hai aapko? Aap mujhse waise baatien to karti hai na...aur sabko pata hai ki hamari sagai ho chuki hai..."
Vividha: "Kuch cheezien sirf privacy main ki jaati hain..."
Atharv: "Mujhe aapke iraade neik nahi lag rahe hai..."
Vividha: "Bade sanskaari ho..."
Atharv smile wholeheartedly in the entire week that had passed. She knew something was eating him up. Something was troubling him; usually he would share everything so his, this behaviour was unusual for her. She had decided to give him the time and space, eventually knowing he will discuss the problem with her, but this time he didn't. It was irritating her too. He was ignoring her, mechanically performing his duties and living a life like a robot.
Vividha: "Kya pareshaani hai Atharv?"
Atharv: "Kuch bhi nai..." he said trying to smile.
Vividha: "Atharv, aajtak tumne aisa kabhi nahi kiya...koi baat hai jo tumhe sata rahi hai..."
Atharv: "Wo bank loan reject ho gaya...sab khatam ho gaya..." he said now tears trickling down his cheeks.
Vividha cupped his face and gently wiped his tears. No matter how much pained she was because of his sheer ignorance, he needed her more than ever. She slowly took his entire being, his eyes were red and brimming, his body was shivering, and he was hurt beyond words. She gently pecked his lips, he surrendered to her love. She broke the kiss to see him faintly smile, acknowledging her presence around her.
Vividha: "Koi baat nahi...ek bank ka loan reject hua to kya hua?...Hum aur banks main bhi apply kar sakte hai na..."
Atharv: "Haan...par usme aur time lagega na...aur mujhe abhi wo zameen saste main mil rahi thi...sab barbaad hua hai..."
Vividha: "Kuch nai hua hai...kuch nai bighda hai...aur kuch nai badla hai..."
Atharv: "Sab to kharab ho chuka hai..."
Vividha: "Kya kharab ho gaya hai...aur kya badal chuka hai Atharv?"
Atharv sat down on the bed. Vividha sat down facing him. She gently took his hands in hers and entwined their fingers.
Vividha: "Kuch nai badla...na hamara pyaar, na hamara saath aur nahi hamari kismet..."
She gently caressed his face and continued speaking.
Vividha: "Atharv, kayde se mujhe tumse naraaz hona chahiye...lekin main jaanti thi ki tumhe koi baat pareshaan kar rahi thi..."
Atharv: "I am really very sorry..." he said tears clouding his vision.
Vividha: "Koi baat nai..." she gently wiped his tears.
Atharv: "Maine aapko bahut takleef di na?"
Vividha: "Haan, Atharv tum mujhpe gussa karo, mujhe taane maro par aise ignore mat karo na please. Meri bhi sab kuch bardasht karne ki limit hai...main insaan hoon bhagwan nai..."
Atharv: "Aage se khyaal rakhoonga...gussa sehen kar payengi mera..."
Vividha: "To ek week se kya kar rahi thi main..."
Atharv smiled genuinely, a smile that was missing. A smile that reached his eyes and made them sparkle.
Vividha: "Acha ab to batao kaise laga?"
Atharv: "Aap badi forward hai..."
Vividha: "Hmm..."
Atharv: "Bahut sundar hai...special!"
Vividha: "Ab ghar chale..."
Atharv: "Are...aapne hi kaha na ki hamain privacy mile, isliye ye room hai...to kuch karte hai..." he said with a glint of naughtiness in his eyes.
Vividha blushed a tomato red.
Atharv: "Aap sharmati bhi hai...hamesha to mujhe sharmana padta hai...aapke boldness ki vajah se..."
Vividha smiled and hugged him tightly. She broke the hug. He in one swift move lifted her and placed her on the bed. He took her lips in a passionate kiss; slowly easing them open as they both drowned themselves in each other, their tongues fiercely battling, their love shining through. They parted to breathe, staying in the embrace feeling the emotions running high in both of their hearts.
Atharv wanted to take this act forward, as much as he was consumed by her love he knew that she had asked for some time. He wanted it to be a memory for both of them, to cherish! A memory that would bring a smile on their faces and their bond of love strengthening.
He asked for an inaudible nod from the woman he loved mind, body and soul. As she gave her consent, there was nothing stopping him and her today!
He kissed her again, almost wanting to get over with, but not daring to yet, not sure which way to turn; and he didn't want to hurt her feelings. It was all a little more difficult that he'd thought. But as they kissed, he forgot about everything; and the ugliness of her past slipped slowly from her. There was no memory, no time, and no other person; there was only Atharv and his incredible gentleness, his endless passion and love for her, as he moved ever so gently toward her, and they moved closer and closer, until suddenly they became one and she could feel herself melt into him and she could bear it no longer. It was all so exquisite, and then suddenly they both exploded in unison and Vividha lay in Atharv's arms in complete amazement. She had never known anything even remotely like that. There was no similarity at all with what had happened to her before, no memory, and no pain, there was nothing but Atharv now and the love they shared!
Vividha finally spoke in the entire moment!
Vividha: "Thankyou for being so gentle Atharv!"
Atharv pecked her forehead and pulled her closer in his embrace. They snuggled closer to each other, to feel the love they had for each other and the promise they had given each other, to stay together in health and sickness, in sadness and happiness.
As they had promised each other, a relation of equality, a relation of love, a relation of respect.
The End!
I hope I have lived upto the expectations of ViTharv fans!😳
Positive criticism welcome!
Love,
Mayu
