His eyes opened with a jerk, and his fingers skimmed through the file in uninhibited excitement. His scanning glances stopped at the random trivia he scribbled during the initial days of investigation.
Investigation is fine, ACP Prithvi. What about your feelings towards Samyuktha?
Instead, a familiar fatigue seeped into her bones - exactly like the one that crept in right after the accident news twice in her past and the night in Delhi when she found Aliya in Jalalâs arms after all the running she did - leaving her mushy and inanimate.
Jodhaâs insecurities and inner fears couldnât have been described better than this....
âYes⊠my stomach did! UmâŠâ She gulped uncomfortably, the scorching throat telling her how parched she was. She paused, clearing it a few times, blessedly ignorant of the consequence her late response had caused. ââŠsince stomachs donât talk, it didnât. And who is this someone who should hear you?â
Stomach did!??! Then âitâmust be worshipped by Jalal for making the effort to get connected when he needed the most....hehe...đ
Wreathing her free arm around her knees in a hurting clasp, a physical reminder for her to stay sober and not say something sheâd repent forever, she waited for Jalal to be done with. But, since he didnât seem to be done any sooner, she had to interrupt before he blurted something heâd regret forever.
What an understanding attitude portrayed by these two even before they become one!
Returning from work every day by Seven.
No late night parties.
No liquor outside home.
No more than two shots at client parties.
Even then, no self-driving back to home.
Calling her once every three hours during the day to update on where he is, what heâŠ
âWhat do you want to start me with?â
JahnuâŠ.All married PBDians love you for these suggestions đ„° Letâs at least dream theseâŠ.âșïž
That last step that she had respected not to cross!
Mutual respect for each other which is a rare entity nowadaysđ„°
âNo rose in the world can hold a candle to mine.â
Perfect verdict!
JahnuâŠyou really found an âinnovative placeâ to bare Jodhaâs heart đ to Jalal and Jalalâs proposal. What a master piece! It is indeed a âlong answerâ â 50 years. I am sure this is a jaw dropping moment for not only Jodha but for us tooâŠ.
Long answer - Marry me?!
Short answer - âI Love You. Period.â
I am confused with my arithmetic and comprehension skills now thanks to Jahnu.
âStarting when?â She prodded with wiggle of brow and he gladly shrugged.
âIâll leave that to you.â
âToday?â She wickedly threw the dare and when Jalal didnât respond soon enough, she jabbed him, not leaving the chance to tease.
âWhat? Second thoughts already?â
JahnuâŠHave you ever thought of the reasons these PBDians wait for nearly 3 years for you to come back patiently?
Because we donât get to see conversations like this in the middle of a marriage proposal elsewhere đ. You mesmerise us through your writing style and dialogue deliveryđ
âYou told me to come home,â he whispered right into her ear. âSo did I.â
The best part of the update for me â summarises everything about the coupleđ
âAh⊠donât worry. It wonât be that bad.â His palm slithered farther down. âMay I offer a sample for you to try so that you make an informed decision?â
Devilâs incarnation đ
Finally, the much awaited birthday celebrations and intimate moments between the lovely couple began in the porchđ
I was laughing throughout the part where the discussion regarding Jodhaâs âknowledgeâ sources. đź Jahnu you nailed it. Please donât SPOIL the âinnocentâ souls like usđ
âI very much planned to sleep with my best half tonight.â
HeheâŠ.Waiting for the âactual birthday celebrations in part 2âđ
âHappy Birthday to you...â Her lips warmly pressed against his and sealed the deal for a lifetime. ââŠand to us!â
So sweet đ„°
UffâŠ.the first lesson of passion from the Master â how to devour a strawberry đ till his amateur student graduated in flying colors.
Jahnu, I canât control the mirth in the corner of my lips every time I munch a strawberry. PhewâŠ.you corrupted our minds so much đ.
Eagerly waiting for the second part of the chapter and the birthday celebrations đ.
I must admit that it was worth the long wait for this emotional plus romantic mix. I loved all the flavours offered via this update.
You are amazing as always, Jahnu đ.
đ We need Part 2 of the update immediately.
Love
