Hey guys?
Now, I am back?!!Yippee!!! This is way too emotional for me to handle, I have a deep void when it comes to feelings, but I am amazed at my capability to write down emotions (so immodest of me). For a rather emotionally impotent being it's an uphill task to pen emotions and understand them, may be comes from my observation prowess (again so immodest of me)?This a very dramatic story?I hope I can pull it off and you people will enjoy it too!!!I know?you are surprised at the Hindi title, quite a departure from my fetish for English ones, but I found lyricism in this one?!!! It just appealed to my soul!!! (It's so philosophical)
I have two other ideas in my mind, and I am dying to write them down but that will be possible only after 6th January since my exams will end by then, they haven't started yet. Till then...wait dearies... I don't know how often will I update this story...!!!!
ENJOY!!!!

Ek Boond Asmaan... ...
2004
"Jai?come home fast?" a concerned voice alerted Jai Walia as held his mobile against his ear, while leafing through the pages of the file, a new assignment he was about to take up.
"What happened masi?? He enquired a bit pre-occupied with his hectic work?
"Beta?sonali?" masi let her words linger?she heard a deep sigh from the other end?
"I am coming masi?just manage?" jai said almost leaping out of his leather chair, shoving away the bunch of file towards his secretary, asking her to sort them out as he picked up his car keys? ?
He sat with a melancholy expression while the driver drove over the Mumbai highways...he looked out, the grey clouds were gathering?ready to burst into a thousand raindrops? ?he kept staring till his eyes strained?about an hour later his focus shifted to his huge mansion which was standing in front of him, tall and mighty?he took a deep breath before getting down the car? ?
XXXX
His body slumped seeing his wife's wretched state, she was again having a bout of depression?Sonali was lying on the carpeted floor in a fetal position, her paleness getting highlighted against the deep maroon of the carpet she had once fondly bought when they went for a holiday to Kashmir?it had been one of their best holidays?together? ?
"Sona?" he called out?only to get a nil response from his much unobvious wife?
"Sona please?" he walked towards her in slow steps, his heart breaking into a thousand shreds taking in the disheveled view of his beloved wife? ?
He simply picked up her abreacting body and gently placed her on their four-poster bed?patting her, soon she slipped into a deep slumber, holding onto his arm?he sat their staring at her serene face, stroking her hair? the lost memories of the past reeling before him like it was only yesterday? only yesterday when masi had pestered him to meet a girl she had selected?only yesterday that he was attracted like a moth to Sonali's incessant chatter when they first met?only yesterday they had got married? ?

"I was enjoying the party? "Sonali whined as her husband steered her through the concourse of people enjoying the party heartily?Jai looked at his pouting wife who wanted to go back to the party?he slowly brought her inside their room?closing the door, bolting it?
"I am sure you will enjoy this more?" he whispered in her ear, as he held her waist pulling it to himself, pressed against him?she breathed a congested breath, feeling titillated by his such close propinquity?surprised by his actions he was normal till a few minutes ago until something came over husband who literally dragged her up upstairs? ?
"Mr?Mr. Walia?Ja?" sonali fumbled to accost her husband, they hadn't had a proper conversation with jai being busy with his diversifying business, he had only returned a day before form his successful European deal?
"Jai?" he said having an amused look on his face as he observed his wife struggling to talk?as far his knowledge was concerned she was chirpy as the bird, seeing her tongue-tied did amaze him a lot? He had pledged to give time to sonali as well as him but today in the reception he had felt strange holding her by his side, introducing her to his friends, relatives and other guests. She looked stunningly beautiful?clad in a pick sari with slim gold border hugging her delicious curves with a sleeveless golden blouse exposing her creamy soft arms?looking ethereal in his antique jewellery piece gifted by her mother, a family heirloom?His senses were entrapped by her elegance and spunkiness as she animatedly talked to his family members and interacted with the guests charmingly? his insides had propelled him to be with her desperately and he didn't care about the listless people anymore? ?
"You are dazzlingly beautiful Sonali?" he commented, pulling out the carved hairpin which held her hair in a low bun?her silky hair fell in a cascade, he inhaled the smell of her intoxicating shampoo smothering her strands of hair with his fingers?
"I?need to talk to you?" she finally uttered looking at him with wide shocked eyes?
"We can do that later?Mrs. Walia?" he whispered again, carrying her to the bed in his arms?sonali blushed hard thinking of what lay ahead?
"I?we?I mean?" she flustered as he placed her on the king-size bed which sank under her weight?
"I said?we can talk later?" he said unbuttoning his coat throwing it away?sonali bowed her head?
He lifted her chin and tilted his head gazing at her?
"I didn't know you could blush so much?you were always this fidgety youngster?"
"I am not that young either?" she muttered, pursing her lips, she hated being called young?
"Well, good?" he grinned, searching for the hook holding her necklace?
She sat, breathing heavily, her toes squirming, as she felt his hands undressing her, she helped him as he struggled in his hastiness?she shamelessly ogled at his chiseled, perfectly toned body as he undid himself with his silk shirt?he made her lie down undoing his pants, now only in his boxers, she grew red with the explicitness of exposure and intimacy between them, she had never been this close to a man?
"Lamp?switch it off?" she barely managed to susurrus her words feeling shy, clad only in her undergarments?was it the cool air of the conditioner or his electric touch that was sending chills down her spine, she couldn't fathom?
"I want to see you?" came his husky unabashed reply?and everything after that was pure bliss? ?something which neither of them would forget till the end of their lives? ?

Their conventional marriage had conveniently turned into a soaring love tale in no time?
"Sona?I will have to go to Dubai tomorrow?" jai said?sonali's eyes flung open?
"You are not going anywhere?" sonali said sternly?jai laughed at her childlike stubbornness? ?
"Its business?"
"I will be so bored?" she wined like a kid?
"You have so many things to do?there is your fashion designing and visit your parents maybe?"
"It was only yesterday I went to meet mom and dad?now they will throw me out if I go again?" jai laughed?
"For how many days you are going?" she asked putting her chin on her chest?
"Four to five?"
"Great?now what do I do??"
"You can come with me if you want to?" he suggested?
"No you will be busy what will I do there?" sonali played with her mangalsutra?
"Sona?four days will fly by?"
"Okay?when is your flight??"
"Tomorrow afternoon?"
"I will pack your bag in the morning?"
"What do you want from Dubai??"
"You come back safely that's more than a gift?" sonali said hugging him putting her head on his chest, she closed her eyes, slipping into a peaceful sleep?jai was enamored by her statement?it was simple yet so touching?in just a couple of months he had become so special, so important for somebody?till a month before he was all alone and now there was sonali, his sona, the 'golden one', her smile, her frown, her vivaciousness, he liked everything about her, yes she had her flaws, she was impatient and sometimes stubborn but he had his flaws too, they had somewhere accepted each other with good and bad?he planted a kiss on top of her head? maybe this was love? they had never confessed it to each other but surely they loved each other?it was evident in their actions?
XXXX
Sonali searched through the mob of people?trying to locate a familiar face, there he was, her husband with the small travel bag hung about his arm, their eyes met and smile passed between them, he waved at her, she waved back?For a moment she was left speechless, it was natural to be attached to anyone's' parents, but to be attached to a person who was a complete stranger till a few months month ago was truly strange? maybe this was what marriage and love was all about?they were physically attracted, in the initial days after their consummation they couldn't get their hands off each other, but slowly they began to understand each other also?small little things such as habits, likes and dislikes, there was plenty left to discover but there was a lifetime for it?sonali snapped out of her thoughts as she felt herself being crushed into a hug?
"Hey sweetie?" jai greeted her?
"Hey?" sonali said, looking at him , drinking his appearance?a thin membrane of tear formed in her eyes?
"What happened??" jai asked looking at his somber wife?
"I?I missed you?" she uttered?
"I missed you too?" he pecked her cheek?bringing her bright smile back?
XXXX
The sudden clattering downpour of rain brought him back to the harsh reality? he glanced at sonali's tear-stained face, the dried tears left ugly patches on her beautiful face?the windows shuttered against the windowpane due to the violent wind?he stealthily got up, not disturbing his wife, he neared the window holding the widows firmly?the sloshing rain wetted his face?he stood still for a moment?the past year and a half has been too grueling and toilsome, with sonali's shifting moods, her unpredictable behavior, she retreating into a closed shell, he had had enough?he tried his best to handle her, with his business growing in leaps and bounds, he was required to supervise every miniscule thing? and his personal life had turned into a clumsy mess?he was sure he was losing his sanity? he at times had this utmost urge to just switch off and run off to some far off place where he knew no one and no one knew him? and he feared the very dreaded fact that he might be falling out of love with Sonali?it was getting more and more difficult with each passing day for him to manage his distressed wife? it was getting frustrating and over-bearing for him, and the fact that irritated him more that she was torturing and hurting herself ? he loved her and that would never change but somewhere deep down he knew this was going nowhere if sonali stubbornly remained like this? they hadn't had a proper conversation in the past six months, they haven't dined together, gone out together or simply sat together? before also they had their tiffs, fights, disagreements, arguments?even if they would touch each other accidently everything would disappear in a jiffy and they made up? ? but now?he shut the windows?the rain drops crashed against the glass panes and melted down?
"Jai?" sonali murmured in her sleep? ?jai turned to look at her? ?he could never stop loving her, in some way or the other he was connected to her?and he would always be?no matter what? ?he paced towards her?holding her hand, pressing a light kiss on her forehead? ?
