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 Jalal’s arms after all the running she did - leaving her mushy and inanimate.
Jodha’s insecurities and inner fears couldn’t have been described better than this....
“Yes… my stomach did! Um…” 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. “…since stomachs don’t talk, it didn’t. And who is this someone who should hear you?”
Stomach did!??! Then “it”must be worshipped by Jalal for making the effort to get connected when he needed the most....hehe...😜
Wreathing her free arm around her knees in a hurting clasp, a physical reminder for her to stay sober and not say something she’d repent forever, she waited for Jalal to be done with. But, since he didn’t seem to be done any sooner, she had to interrupt before he blurted something he’d 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 he…
“What do you want to start me with?”
Jahnu….All married PBDians love you for these suggestions 🥰 Let’s at least dream these….☺️
That last step that she had respected not to cross!
Mutual respect for each other which is a rare entity nowadays🥰
“No rose in the world can hold a candle to mine.”
Perfect verdict!
Jahnu…you really found an “innovative place” to bare Jodha’s heart 💓 to Jalal and Jalal’s proposal. What a master piece! It is indeed a “long answer” – 50 years. I am sure this is a jaw dropping moment for not only Jodha but for us too….
Long answer - Marry me?!
Short answer - “I Love You. Period.”
I am confused with my arithmetic and comprehension skills now thanks to Jahnu.
“Starting when?” She prodded with wiggle of brow and he gladly shrugged.
“I’ll leave that to you.”
“Today?” She wickedly threw the dare and when Jalal didn’t respond soon enough, she jabbed him, not leaving the chance to tease.
“What? Second thoughts already?”
Jahnu…Have you ever thought of the reasons these PBDians wait for nearly 3 years for you to come back patiently?
Because we don’t get to see conversations like this in the middle of a marriage proposal elsewhere 😂. You mesmerise us through your writing style and dialogue delivery👏
“You told me to come home,” he whispered right into her ear. “So did I.”
The best part of the update for me – summarises everything about the couple💐
“Ah… don’t worry. It won’t be that bad.” His palm slithered farther down. “May I offer a sample for you to try so that you make an informed decision?”
Devil’s incarnation 😜
Finally, the much awaited birthday celebrations and intimate moments between the lovely couple began in the porch😅
I was laughing throughout the part where the discussion regarding Jodha’s “knowledge” sources. 😮 Jahnu you nailed it. Please don’t SPOIL the ‘innocent’ souls like us😝
“I very much planned to sleep with my best half tonight.”
Hehe….Waiting for the “actual birthday celebrations in part 2”😜
“Happy Birthday to you...” Her lips warmly pressed against his and sealed the deal for a lifetime. “…and to us!”
So sweet 🥰
Uff….the first lesson of passion from the Master – how to devour a strawberry 🍓 till his amateur student graduated in flying colors.
Jahnu, I can’t control the mirth in the corner of my lips every time I munch a strawberry. Phew….you corrupted our minds so much 😛.
Eagerly waiting for the second part of the chapter and the birthday celebrations 🎊.
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 😉.
👀 We need Part 2 of the update immediately.
Love
🌹
