The Damsel in Distress

Image result for painting of lovers


She quintessentially embodied the phrase
Paragon of beauty'
Perfectly chiselled face
Symmetrical features and a smile that could
Smoulder one's heart in a millisecond
She had an aura of nonchalance around her
And an umbrella delicately balanced over her head
Despite it being scorching hot
She walked as if in fear of hurting
The very ground she trod on
Attracting surreptitious glances from passers-by.
I stood rooted to the exact spot I had stood ages before
In utter awe and wonderment at the breath taking sight I beheld
Then out of the blue she appeared to be on the verge of kissing the ground
I instantaneously lurched forward to her rescue
She, landing appropriately in mine outstretched arms
The look on her face * priceless*
Discomfiture and fear apparently evident on her face
Soothingly I assured her all was indeed well
Whilst revelling in the idea that I had come to the rescue
Of the exceedingly beautiful lady.

OMG! It happened! I am still fanning myself, Sahiba!

So naturally, so beautifully, so dreamily!

When I read that paragraph, my immediate response was -Wow!- my breath hitched and I read and re-read it to visualize it!

At the moment, all that happened pre and post THAT moment is a blur!

AMK and Heera may have moved on from that kiss for now, but I am still in a daze.

No wonder, you had to take them far , far away from the haveli.

Because a kiss as magical as that had to happen at a magical place!

And Sahiba, this chapter was not long, not at all.

( Scrolling down after reading it, it did feel long but not while reading it.)

Couldn't you have left them a bit longer at the hill top, Sahiba?

If their first moment of intimacy can be this lovely, can't imagine what heavenly moments await the reader ( and the couple, of course)!

Simply spellbinding! 🤗

(I did a marathon run through pages 1-12; will go back now to read unhurriedly.)

Chapter 37.
The story goes thus...

Oh my, my! How can I do justice to the contents of the chapter
Having read it with an overwhelming rapture
Ok mostly this is going to be my expression ->☺️
But, you know why, Periyamma!
Is it the setting? Or the author's writing?
Which one is more beautiful and which one more exciting ?
😳
Can anyone say that a sweet tastes better in the first bite than in the last?
👏 Take a bow for this line... never come across a 'sweeter' analogy!
The chapter though had upturned all the readers' forecasts
It is not what I've read but what I did experience
That has given me a feeling of exuberance!
OMG ☺️ Upturned the forecasts... hee hee

The couple takes up the journey by a horse for the destination
But the author takes us along with her by her beautiful description

The journey looks uneventful with both of them not uttering a word
Though her mind is packed with questions to ask, which she's not dared
" Why delve on questions when you know you' re not going to like the answers?"
She need not have feared, for the mission is to solve the shortage of water.
❤️ Yes!
He describes his plan to build a canal to solve the problem
She wonders how amazingly he has made it awesome..

The couple has some cute conversation between them
It sets a stage for her to know more about him
'He forgets what he is meant to be saying
She forgets what she is meant to be asking...'
There cannot be better words to explain their emotions
You liked it? Thanks Periyamma!
Which the author does with her magic potion!
The potion she concocted and administered to us
Making us wait for a fortnight without any fuss.
😆 without any fuss?

The next few moments are enjoyable for them
To quote the author's words in the precise form
'She recognised she'd gotten carried away..
He recognised he'd gotten carried away..'
What a lovely encounter it is for our imagination
No fantasy filmy scene would do proper justification
☺️
He wants to solve the problem of shortage of water
Alas! what follows is the problem she faced with a bottle of water!
Beautiful twist on the words!👏😉

She gasps for air since the water has rushed into her nose
That makes him rush and go near her very close

He gives her the first aid like a para medic
He blows hard on her face to revive her quick
The closeness between them works out wonderful chemistry
A portrait of lovers that has to be printed in history

" Trust me..I'll protect you.. never let you suffer..."
The words may sure act against all her odds as a buffer
Yes!

His intimacy causes her to shed a drop of tear
His words on the other hand, allays her fear
It allays and it elevates her fear - both... it is his words that reminds her of what he has done against her in the past!

She is confused about his actions she has known earlier
And his assurance now not to allow her to suffer and protect her
Yes😭
Her mind still intends to mistrust the double life he led erstwhile
His closeness towards her she is yet to reconcile
He understands her feelings though he justifies his past
Both of them not sure about the future that is forecast..
👏 Excellent para!

The author pauses the story here after serving a treat
We enjoyed sumptuously the delicacies in the feast
The role played by the author is as important as the leads
Lashy faints with a thud!
Like a director of a film who takes the overall credits
She has described their intimate moments without any vulgarity
That keeps her on a pedestal by the readers majority
☺️
The Chapter is but to read again and again
Every time it is sure to give a glittering shine!
Thank you so so so much Periyamma... this is just out of this world

Like Lavanya asked... how do you do it? I mean yes... writing OSes is tough... but, writing poems far far tougher... how do you do it? And so quickly?

The journey was quiet and long,
the silence was poignantly strong!
She wanted him to converse with her,
Feelings in her heart longed him to stir!
He kept going, keeping a hold on her,
He walked aside on foot, not going afar!
He could have ridden on a mare but he did not,
He wanted her safety and that is what he got!
She broke the silence, he had a smile,
expecting her questions now for a while!
Curiosity broke its spell, she probed his whim,
He was surprised at her estimation of him!
He showed her the valley and his plan was told,
She asked for a blueprint to feel the map unfold!
Once satisfied she probed for some more,
to know about him, to feel his core!
He admired her regal beauty and poise,
Both wanted to muse, away from all noise!
He revealed his passion of riding at night,
His preference for solitude came to her sight!
He was intrigued, at her interest for him,
Is her heart thawing? His heart went to beam!
On his query she started to laugh,
Riding at night for her is very tough!
To stop her laughter she bit her lip
Seeing this, his heart swelled to take a dip,
In that ocean of nectar, her lips offered,
To taste them fully his heart long suffered!
He gazed at her cheek, her tresses and nape,
He couldn't control his desire that took shape!
Both of them got carried away,
the awkward pause made its way!
She laughed at her own self all upbeat,
Then she was all thirsty from the heat,
He offered his water bag to quench her thirst,
She choked on the water, coughing aburst!
He helped her to regain her normal breath,
But he lost his control and his self-faith!
Her eyes showed admiration luring him in,
did it reflect a belonging to him from within?
He needed to hold her face and tresses,
grazing her cheek and beholding her graces!
He made the promise to protect his Heera,
Never to let her suffer...was it a chimera?
He asked her to trust him over and over,
Pledge made, his jawline on her's went rover!
Finally he gave into his demanding desire,
to taste those lips that aroused his inner fire!
It was heaven when he first pressed a kiss,
He felt in paradise enveloped in a bliss!
He lingered more in his first act of passion,
He wanted to continue in that fashion!
But he wanted a peek to see how she felt,
He saw more tears and his heart then melt.
After the passionate stupor, mistrust grew,
reality dawned, her heart leapt and she knew,
What will happen to her heart? Her feelings?
Will she be shattered with Ustaad's dealings?
The mistrust and doubts crept crawling back,
half-hearted words uttered! He was taken aback!
She wanted to clarify but could not do so!
He cleared his point of view feeling very low!
He freed her from the marital corporal ties,
But she could not tell him where her heart lies!
He knew she was not wrong to think of him so,
He has not been a true soul from the get-go!
Quickly he forgave her, letting go of his ire,
He can't remain angry on her, even if he so desire!
He pledged not to be carried away again,
by temptations, till her trust is regained.
When she accepts her marriage and him,
he will fancy in his desire and his whim!
Till then he sets his way apart from her,
the third point was to be away and afar!
On business, he leaves her in pain and tears,
She longs, he longs but none of them hears!
After high comes the low, everyone knows,
Readers are floating on air and it shows!


All the underlined - explains parts and emotions of the story so so so well! And I really really give it to you for that, Lana
The red parts have come out wonderfully as poetry. I'm not saying just because they are the most romantic lines... but somehow the most romantic lines also have the tendency of sounding the dreamiest/sweetest!

Only one word, I'd change - he didn't lose self-faith... he never lost faith in himself either when she teared-up or when she used 'force'...because he knows the truth and doesn't blame himself... not even for a kiss which he went for, only after reading her signs... he knows HE hadn't misread her... but that SHE's the one facing insecurities!
So, he decides to stay away since it's affecting them both!
I know you understood... I just was adding my 2 cents, as usual! 😆



@ Lavanya

LASHY DEAR, YOU SEEM TO BE INSPIRING EVERYONE INTO GREATNESS, I MUST SAY

Thank you so so so much! ☺️
And I agree with you, Lana OS ho jaaye... not today... maybe over the weekend when you have more time?

Periyamma, you are adding to the magic of Chapter 37!

Lovely haikus to herald the chapter , too 👏

The story goes thus- this was a sumptuous feast in itself, Periyamma. As always! ❤️

@ Harshu

Wonderful musings, Sahiba! ⭐️

@ Mitu

Very, very nice to read your views, Sahiba! 👏

@ Akanksha

What a sweet take on C37!👍🏼

@Lana

Lana' s Ode to C37- Bravo, Sahiba! ( You can imagine me throwing roses at you! ) 👏

With you mixing up the left and right brain, now I am confused as to which plays what part in our characteristics.

Ok, I checked. Remember ,you are right-brained and I am left-brained. 😆


ETA: Dinner time ( already running late ) Will be back soon!😃

as usual wonderful updte... dis updte was hilarious at d same time we got to see a tinge of der intimacy 😉heera caved in at dt moment since she was attracted towrds him but later d spell was broken and she realised where it was heading topoor AMK... it was like throwing cold water on his face...

Quite the expert at sliding down though' Akbar was so tempted to break out into a grin at her charming sense of humour. But, he decided against it, since he would indirectly be laughing at her handicap too and that would not be very kind.

🤣🤣🤣d sarcasm was worth noting...😆

Exactly what happened!

Sort- of... he understands ... but he's also pledged he wouldn't let himself get carried away like this again!
