Note for readers: SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG.
Days became..weeks and weeks became months so sorry…!!!
Busy with life I just lost my touch with this ff. tired to do my best to catch up with it..over this the next week hopefully there will be a few updates..
Chapter 11
Wondering weather it was a dream was ruled out when In the mirror she saw shivs reflection standing behind her. Shiv took a few defined steps closer that raised gauris heartbeat. Dressed in immaculate black he looked as handsome as ever, carrying a sense of authority and power…shiv changed his stance folding his arms across his chest he waited for gauri. …..
Turning around to face him she took a glance up to shiv and dropped her gaze. His Meier presence sent her butterflies within yet when he spoke the feeling within her gave away. She was misplaced uneasy. As he spoke each word played in gauris mind with an echo
"Mera pura din aaj tumare naam ….ab kaho kya chahti ho mujse?"
Gauri couldn't believe the situation, she never thought a man of shivs stature would accept defeat and act upon his words like this…..
What was she going to ask of him?????
Yet she had fives years with of curiosity to fufil and now was the time… as with as much caution as ever gauri turned a blind eye the shivs dominating look. Reaching for a side draw she took out a peace of paper folder into a small quarter the shade of the paper was a sandstone, it looked like gauri had ripped paper from one of anupams writer note pads. She didn't say much yet at always her expression dropped in such a manner that shiv knew she was thinking of this to be much more of a request than a right she had over him. After all she had cheated the game…somewhere she felt a hint of guilt.
Walking towards shiv ever so elegantly gauri held her hand out with that note for shiv to take. Without saying anything shiv took a corious yet layed back look at gauri and took it from her. He noticed that his coming closer and mearly brisking her hand in action made her flinch.
Taking one intense look of question at gauri who avoided shivs gaze. Unfolding the note shiv sensed how uncomfortable gauri was and revealed a worded line in hindi.
It was perfect in neatness…the handwriting was very feminine and traditional… written in black the words read..
-"Duniyay jise shiv kapoor kehti hai…hame us insaan ko jaana hai."-
shiv took a glance at the words and then took an an insightful glare at gauri.
Shiv: "Chalo mere saath". Gauri looking up with uneasiness, she didn't expect him to accept her want yet he had.
….. Shiv had waited in the haveli lounge whlist gauri quickly prepped herself for where ever shiv was going to take her. Dressed in that very deep red..color gauris saari was as always trational..she looked builtful she draped a emrald green shawl around her shoulders and took a last glance at the mirror. Everything was perfect but she was nervous.
As she stepped into the room shiv was dressed in his earlier suit.. black. Green tie…chrisp white shirt and three piece attire. He looked as infulenacle and attractive as ever yet here gauri was the centre of attention.
Shiv couldn't take his eyes of her for a sencond..grasping his attention he looks away….telling gauri the car was ready.
Shiv asked the driver to take a break and he had decided to drive.. opening up the car door for gauri was the only thing the driver did.
Gauri sat in the passenger seat at the front of the car in silence.. shiv took the driver seat. Shiv took a few glances at gauri through the mirror…maybe he was expecting a question to where they were going but gauri didn't say a word. Shiv drove on…….he got a business phonecall on the way. Stopped for water whilst gauri sat a silently wondering where he was taking her.
An hour and so and gauri started noticing a busy city roads. She had never seen them before yet it was the way she imagined.
The silence in the car wasn't uncomfortable….gauri trusted shiv yet she did worry.
After an silent journey shiv parks the car into an mansion driveway. It was kapoor house. Shivs house. Gauri knew that shiv lived in his own house she had always wondered what it would be like. Watching the way a security guard saluted shiv…how a gardender greeted him.. gauri had guessed that this was her husbands home.
It was a strange feeling the think that all these years of marriage ..haveli might have been her sasural yet this was more this was her husbands house. It was as equally important or even more so but it was a world that gauri was deprived of.
Gauri told herself to stop thinking of these matters as it was too late now she had accepted all years back. Gauri followed shiv into the entrance of the house. Walking behind him slienlty gauri looked around the surroundings in detail. Kappor house was grand not as big as the haveli yet the interior was modern different to anything gauri had seen before. The lounge was a deep blue theme as gauri looked around there were numerous amount of staff… who walked around with there own tasks. There was the same feel to this house as the haveli….something about it was farmiliar there was the same feel of authority in shivs presence.
as shiv stopped and turned around to look at gauri..his eyes carried a proud yet specific answer to gauris query on him.
Yey mere ghar hai gauri… agar muje jaana hai toe ise bhehtaar ko jaage nahin hai. shiv kapoor ki har baat is ghar mein bassi hai.
Shivs words were intrupped when farmiliar voices walk in quite loundly speaking. Most noticbly anupam and mehen.
Maybe shiv had forgotten that his farther had swopped places with shivs pledge to be an successful thakhur. Along side the two as sia shivs secratory. Gauri was please to see familiar faces…she had not seen her farther-inlaw in days..she missed the farther figure. On the other hand shiv was still abrupt with mehen. Not saying anything yet his expression had said it all. As gauri takes mehens blessing shiv gives his farther an harsh glare.
Both anuapm and sia noticing this break the moment with there words.
Anupam: attcha gauri ham aapko aapka ghar dhika te hai..
Gauri felt a little strange at the way anupam had said aapka ghar yet she simply smiled. Anupam and sia took gauri away leaving the father and son to speak in privacy. Just as they happen to leave the lounge anupams phone rings and he gets called away leaving the ladies.
Gauri had never been introduced to Sia and so the silence was awkward. Sia was very friendly she had an constant smile..the kind that would only fade when shiv would shout at her but that was another story. Sia had heard about gauri over the past few days and more from mehen. Sia had heard how gauri was the quintessential Indian bride, traditional and the perfect bahu. Hearing all this from Mehen made it feel as if she knew gauri and something clicked for her. She forgot that there had been no formal introduction and broke into conversation.
On the other hand gauri wondered who this lady was yet she didn't question.
She was simply amazed by the surroundings not because they were lavish just because they were so different from the haveli. Walking up a staircase..ria smiled silently at gauri. Whilst gauri wondered as to whom she was gauri to was pleasant and smiled softly.
Reaching the top of the staircase…the landing split into two directions… leading to two corridors.. ria took gauri towards the right…….it led to shivs room. In fact the whole stretch of this corridor was dedicated to shiv.
The first room on the corridor was the door to shivs office… ria introduced the room as sahab's office. The way in which ria swapped the word from sir to sahab showed that she was aware of gauris limitation to the English language.
Standing at the wooden faced door rias eyes question weather or not gauri wanted to see the room and the answer was yes.
However much she tried to hide it from shiv himself she loved anything that was associated with him. Anything that she could symbolise or use to get to know him better. There was a kind of glow in gauris eyes when ria introduced the room. A curiosity to find out more filled gauri.
…………………...Downstairs in kapoor house..the opposition of farther and son was rather tense. There wasn't one word spoken until mehen finally found some ground for a conversation. Something that only himself and shiv knew about.
Mehen: Gauri ka khayal rakhna shiv…. Tum jaante ho naa ke use khatra hai, mehen carried genuine concern and shiv even though trying to over look noticed mehens deep feeling.
Shiv gives a silent nodd….shiv had recived a number of threating in letters..all of which reffered to putting his wife in danger. Mehen took out of his trouser pocket a a folded pice of paper.. telling shiv that it had arrived to today…..he hands it over to shiv..
The letter reads…
-Haam aap se badla le kar hein rahenge shiv. Tumari patni se shuru karenge hamara khel.-
shivs expression creases in anger screwing up the paper he throws it out of sight. With confidence he tells mehen that gauri has nothing to threat..walking in the direction of the staircase shivs expression creases in thought. If gauris farther was behind bars ..and he had his fate in his hands then who was this enemy that was after gauri?
………………… Upstairs in shivs room gauris walks around the surrounding of a very contemporary and formal room. It gave off a sense of class that came with shiv. There was no doubt that she could feel that feeling of shiv here too..
even the scent of the room was perfumed with that aftershave he used. When shiv would step close this sent would overpower. In fact it was doing that just now..there was a tingly feeling within her.. the set of nerves …that brewed when he was around.
Gauri walked around the room softly…from the bedside…to the wall hangings and portraits of shivs business success to the framed picture of his mother which was accompanied by a white lily flower. Gauri put her hands together in front of it and ria watched..comfortably..admiring gauris nature.
Ria: "Sir unki mom se bohot pyaar karte the.." gauri takes a glance towards ria ans smiles…
Gauri walks the room..an for some reason she opens a cupboard ..curious to see..shivs taste, the way he did things, the way he was in general.
……. As gauri spends time exploring shivs room.. shiv happens to walk into the room ..standing at the entrance of his own room..he gives an pretentious cough to let the women know of his presence.
Hearing that particular interruption both gauri and ria take a glance to the entrance of the room. Ria takes a hint and excuses' herself with shivs permission as for gauri In all her innocence she has one of shivs ties loosely hanging around her neck. Ria was about to show gauri how to tie it..yet they hadn't got that far. Shiv notices it ..a kind of amusement comes to mind but he keeps quite about it.
Gauri with her eyes lowered to a fix…tries to avoid any confrontation.
Shivs walks a few steps closer…. "Der ho rahin hai..ham vapas haveli chale.?"
Gauri nodds a yes forgetting all about the tie around her neck shiv has to remind her..
"Tumare gale mein..meri tie padi hai.." gauri looks down at herself and is a little bit embarrassed.. trying to tie it..earlier gauri had got it in a knot that she couldn't un-do..
Shiv watched her fiddle with the folds a little and then decided to step in.
Stepping closer to her.. he took hold of the knot and began un-wraping the the tie slowly. Although all his concentration was going into the tie..gauri began to blush at the closeness and more so the way she couldn't take her eyes off him…
She was neverous..flustered and felt awkward yet she couldn't stop admiring him.. it was the first time she was feeling this way. shiv had unknotted the tie and removed it ..yet still gauri happened to be gazing at him and she needed prompting out of this phase.
……….Car journey back to the haveli and shiv decides to take a driver thinking he could pay more attention to gauri that way. But there was still silence in the car..heavy rain made its presence felt with its clash on the car..and the darkness to made the night feel rather gloomy. Gauri couldn't help but think about shiv..she kept taking random glances in his direction and then sweeping them back. Gauri thought about weather she had fallen for him in that way. In the way she always hoped?
As shiv continues to drive sometime on in rural surroundings and in the heavy rain…he notices a man in need of help… an weedly..flustered and drained man…soaking in water stops shivs car..
Shiv unwinds the window to ask what the matter was..
The man referred to shiv as thakur and shiv realised that this man lived under his territory and needed help.
Shiv: "Kya hua baat kya hai…?"
The man: "Sahab meri biwi maa bane wali hai…muje jald se jald use lejaana hoga lekin…koi madat nahin kar raha..
Shiv reassured the man…and instructed his driver to take them to the hospital in the car. In turn shiv agreed to staying the night at this villagers home.
Entering a very basic cottage, small with nothing much this is the first time shiv had really encountered the way in which these people lived. The way in which his people lived. They had bare nessestaty in the home.
There was was old woman in the house..who seemed to be partially bind yet she greeted both shiv and gauri like royality. Shiv stops the elderly lady from..touching his feet even and shiv realises the extent to which these people believe in the thakur rain. The old woman gives them tea…they sit by a small fire..and listen to her talking about the village. She has all good things to say about mehen and his help..which some what makes shiv think.
….later on in the night the old lady.. shows gauri to a small room in which both shiv and gauri are to spend the night. An small room..with two old fashioned wooden tie beds parallel to each other that…a small wooden fire burner…and in-between the room was a selling tie..of fabric which divided both beds and the room into two.
Gauri finds the thought of sharing the room with shiv awkward just because she had avoided it so far and in this particular situation she felt more self conscious. Before leaving the room the old lady gave gauri a change of clothes.. a traditional. simple deep red saari…and bneath it was a white attire for shiv that she didn't really look at.
As the old lady leaves …gauri feeling cold looks around the room and her eyes fall on the fire burner..lighting the wood with matches that lay on the side..she beggins to heat her hands on the slow flames …sitting near the flames for a while gauri hears the door of the room creak and shiv enters.
With boths attire being wet the walmth was nice.. as shiv walked in and noticed gauri at the fire…he looked around the room ..and noticed the two on either side of the room.
Gauri turns to a standing shiv…without lifting her expression she speaks.. "waoh…aayi ne kapde rakhe hai." shiv aknowlges her comment with a nodd and takes his share of clothes. Parting the room with the pink saari divider..shiv gets changed while gauri sits at the fire…still thinking of shiv.
In no time at all shivs walks out from behind that material and gauri shocked to see him dressed in a white dhoti kurta .. as soon as she laid eyes on him..she looked away. For she knew she couldn't make her surprised nature known. Avoiding shiv in every manner gauri soflty walked past shiv to get changed yet behind that material away from shiv ..her expression beamed with surprise and embarrassment. Not only did she not expect to ever see him in this way but she found herself more attracted to shiv this way.. blushing to herself gauris feelings for shiv begin to take over slowly.
As gauri undresses behind that material.. shivs eyes happen to gaze over In the direction …seeing the shadows of gauri… shiv is watches her without realises …admiring her.. yet at one point he latches onto the moment and stops just before gauri walks out in that draped red…and even then she looked amazing…shiv couldn't take his eyes off her yet feeling his gaze..gauri simply defers the moment by drawing back that material divider and walking over to one of those beds and lying down. As if to be sleeping, shiv knew that it was unlikely that she was sleeping yet he too did the same.. walking over to his bed he laid down..closing his eyes he was pretty sure of his feelings..
Even know with his eyes closed he could see gauris face before him and yes..shiv kapoor was in love.
