😳
part 4A
Deb Mansion
Ganga and Aparajit fell asleep together on the bed and ended up, unconsciously, in a very cozy position. Aparajit had his arm across her stomach and Ganga had her hand resting comfortably on his arm. Aparajit felt a cold breeze and snuggled closer to the warmth he felt from somewhere. As he opened his eyes he sees his sleeping wife, after gazing at her beautiful features for a while he decides he should get up before Ganga, so she does not feel awkward. As he tried to pull her hand off of his she only ended up moving her body on top of him. Aparajit didn't know what to do, if he tries to wake her she will feel embarrassed all day and now he cannot even get up quietly, so he decided the best thing to do was wait till she woke up first and then after she's done her morning rituals he would wake up.
Ganga woke up feeling some warm breeze on her neck, as she opened her eyes she was face to face with her husband. First she was surprised and then she remembered that it was all an accident, then stayed up late talking and unknowingly fell asleep together. Ganga didn't want Aparajit to feel awkward with her so she gently covered her husband with the blanket, quietly got up and went to take a shower.
As Ganga came out of the washroom she saw the empty bed.
'where can mr. deb be'
'im right here, dont worry i dont plan to leave you that easily', jeet laughed
ganga smiled, 'i wouldnt want you to leave me anyway'
jeet turned to look at her 'really, most people cant stand me and my behavior, your saying you dont mind it'
'im not most people mr. deb, and anyways people who say you are bad either dont know you or they are just jealous'
jeet was happy his wife was defending him 'but i've even treated you badly at times ganga and you still deal with me, fine today is a good day for all men to appologize to their respective partners'
'why what is so special about today'
'wow usually women remember today more than men, its valentines day and i would like to appologize to you ganga for my behavior in the past, would you please do me the honor of joining me for dinner tonight'
ganga didnt know whether this was a dream or for real 'mr. deb i would love to accompany you for dinner this evening'
'good I'll pick u up be ready at 7:30 sharp'
Ganga was so happy and could not wait till 7:30, she decided she would tell mr. deb her feelings, tonight would be perfect. She started looking through her closet deciding what she would wear tonight but couldn't find anything special, than she remembered the sari mr. deb bought for her, yes she would wear it tonight. When she opened the packet she was shocked at the type of blouse that came with the sari its was beautiful indeed but it was very revealing, a v-neck cut from the front and the whole thing was held together by one dori. How could she wear this tonight, and what would mr. deb think, but he was the one that bought it for her, maybe he wanted to see what it looked like?...ganga decided she would wear it only for him.
As the day went by ganga was getting restless and maa was noticing this
'ganga beta where are you lost', maa asked curiously
'hmm…sorry maa what did you say'
'I said where are you lost, is something wrong'
'no maa, everything is just perfect'
'I think u must be missing my jeet, he is so lucky to have u as a wife'
'I think I am the lucky one maa, to have him as my husband'
'bahu, why don't you just call him at the office, im sure he will like it'
'no maa I don't want to disturb him and anyways we are having dinner tonight'
'what! I cant believe my jeet planned a special evening'
It was 6:00pm and Ganga was getting ready, everything was perfect, she had on light make-up and her hair was left loose with soft curls, she wasn't feeling very comfortable due to the blouse of her sari but she decided to just deal with it.
At 7:30 sharp there was a limo waiting right outside the house. Ganga ran down the stairs and the closer she got to the car the more nervous she got. When the passenger door opened a very buff and tall man stepped out.
'madam I was hired by deb sir as your bodyguard'
'bodyguard'?
'yes, sir didn't want anything to go astray tonight so I was hired to keep a watch out for any trouble while you two have your dinner'
'umm okay if that's what mr. deb wants it's fine by me'
The driver opened the back door and ganga went inside. The whole back area was filled with fragrant lilies and roses of various colors. She was left speechless.
At the restaurant Aparajit had booked the entire place for him and ganga.
Aparajit himself was getting nervous, and began talking to himself.
'I hope ganga likes all this, hopefully she doesn't get the wrong idea, Aparajit get a hold of yourself, you've been out with many women before, but then again ganga is not just any other woman, she is your wife'
'sir madam just arrived', replied a waiter
'thank you, you may leave'
Aparajit took one last glance at the place and thought 'its now or never'.
Ganga came inside and was simply shocked by the dcor; nothing but lit candles and glittery candlesticks and a path of roses leading to one table that was set for two, all she could do was just stare when all of a sudden a hand came in front of her and covered her eyes.
'guess who', whispered a husky voice
'mr. deb', replied ganga
'no not mr. deb, either jeet or aparajit for tonight ganga, please'
'jeet', ganga smiled
'much better', he uncovered her eyes and she herself was shocked at what she saw
Her husband, the owner of deb industries, dressed as a chef.
'jeet I thought we would dress formally but you are'
'I am here to serve you maam' aparajit took his hat off and gave a slight bow
'jeet you don't have to serve me, lets just eat together and..'
'ganga please you've done so much for me in the past let me do this once for you'
Ganga had no choice left but to agree 'okay'
'good come right this way, now tell me what would you like to start off with dinner 1st or conversation or a combination of both'
'umm well…'
She was cut off by some music that was playing across the street where some teenagers were having a Valentines Day party.
'these damn kids, I politely asked them to keep it down but I'll have to call security now'
'no jeet please, come on its valentines day, lets not ruin their fun please don't call, for me'
Jeet knew he couldn't refuse her request 'fine ganga, only because of you, but it will be irritating all night'
'not necessarily jeet' ganga walked up to her husband and held out her hand 'jeet would you like to dance with me'
Aparajit looked at her as if she were crazy, 'ganga you know I don't dance, in the past years you've known me have I ever danced'
'no but since today is a special day I thought you might change your rules a little, plus its just you and I here, and I promise not to laugh or hurt you in any way'
'ganga its you im worried about I might step on your feet'
'if you do I'll forgive you, because it will be your first time'
Aparajit sighs and takes off his apron and hat which left him looking dashing in his black suit, he takes ganga's hand and leads her to the dance floor.
As they begin to sway with the music Aparajit notices how gorgeous his wife is looking with all the nevousness going on within him he forgot to compliment her.
'Ganga im so sorry'
'sorry, sorry for what jeet'
'I was so nervous about tonight, I even forgot to compliment you, you look absolutely beautiful ganga, you are not wearing this sari, it is wearing you'
Ganga feels her cheeks burning 'thank you jeet, you look very handsome as well'
'to tell you the truth I wasn't sure you would like this sari at all, I just loved seeing this color on you, that's why I picked it up'
'well I love it, thanks for everything jeet' ganga rested her head on his shoulder and continued to dance for another 20mins
Jeet wanted to express his feelings to ganga tonight, but he didn't want to ruin the perfection this particular night was bringing, it would now depend on where the conversation during dinner leads.
'ganga shall we eat'
'that sounds lovely'
Aparajit had all of ganga's favorite dishes made and her favorite dessert chocolate truffle cake. Conversation was kept light and fluffy they talked about some funny business encounters and jeet's sisters and talks of his nieces and nephews.
'it's so wonderful once you've found that person you know you want to spend the rest of you life with'
Aparajit looks at his wife who is looking dreamily out the window at the moon 'yes it is a wonderful feeling'
Ganga looks back at him and Aparajit finishes up his dessert.
Come ganga lets go up to the balcony.
'the balcony but why..'
'uh uh remember I planned this evening'
When they got up to the balcony ganga again was speechless, the balcony was transformed into a romantic place for two, there were red satin and silk sheets laid on the ground and hundreds on more candles surrounding them, but the next thing her eyes fell upon confused her, a telescope.
'ganga ive seen you many times looking up at the sky just staring into space, than I found astronomy books in your room, so I thought why not look at them more up close together'
Together she loved the sound of that.
'I would love that jeet'
they began to look at the stars together and ganga knew the names of many of them which impressed jeet a lot, after a while aparajit began to loose interest and kept staring at ganga, when she bent down to look into the telescope her sari pallu would fall to the front as well which gave him a full view of her velvety smooth back. That was it for aparajit he wanted to carress her skin and send tingles up her spine just like she did while they were dancing.
'ahem ganga im glad you are enjoying the evening'
'this has been the best night of my life thanks to you jeet'
'please it's the least I could do for a friend'
Ganga's smile instantly faded and Aparajit caught this quickly.
'Ganga whats wrong'
'is that all I'll ever be jeet, a friend'
Aparajit became confused. 'forgive me ganga but I don't understand'
'just forget it jeet, please' ganga had tears in her eyes and she didn't want him to see her cry again so she started to make a dash for the stairs when aparajit grabbed her wrist.
'ganga don't hide your tears from me' he pulled her back to him and turned her around to face him, he took his thumbs and wiped her wet cheeks
'now please tell me whats going on'
'jeet we both know what our relationship has been in the past we've always put on a farce act for society and maa but things have begun to change now'
Aparajit felt he knew where this would be going so he interrupted ganga before she could feel any more uncomfortable
'ganga don't say anything else, I know what your feeling and I understand, you have been great these past couple of years, you have been a true asset to my family and I appreciate all you have done for us, and even myself, you taught a hard-core man how to live life and not just live for the sake of living, your presence taught me to have patience you even brought my old self back to my family, but I cant be selfish, you deserve a life of your own as well, you just give me the word and I will give my lawyer a call'
'lawyer?'
'yes to draw up our divorce papers'
Ganga felt a sharp pain through her body, a pain that she just could not take, she fell to the floor and began to cry. Aparajit became alarmed at her behavior and ran to her.
'Ganga what, what is it, was it something I said, please speak to me ganga'
'theres nothing left to say MR.DEB….here like a fool I kept thinking about keeping our relationship binded and you're talking about breaking it'
'ganga what'
'u never understood my feelings, yes I always respected you, yes I always enjoyed your company, but these past few months so many things changed'
'tell me clearly what you want to say'
'I LOVE YOU JEET'
Aparajit lets go of her shoulder and looks at her with utter shock
'WHAT, WHAT DID YOU SAY'
Ganga stood up and so did aparajit 'I LOVE YOU, I LOVE JEET, I LOVE YOU NOT LIKE A FRIEND BUT LIKE A WIFE WHO LOVES HER HUSBAND, but obviously im not what you want in a woman'
She begins to walk away again but she feels a tug on her sari, 'let me go jeet' she turns and sees her pallu caught in his watch, she moves forward but jeet puts up his hand and stops her, he unties her pallu and grabs a hold of her hand.
'we should leave jeet, theres nothing left to say anymore'
Aparajit pulls her into his arms and wraps one arm across her waist and with the other he removes a stray hair away from her face. Ganga watches on and Aparajit cups her face with both his hands and kisses her forehead, 'I love you too', he whispered huskily. Ganga didn't know if she heard him correctly 'say it again'
'I love you too Ganga, not like a friend but like a husband who loves his wife' Ganga had tears welling up in her eyes and just tightly hugged her husband, 'you are everything i want in the woman i want to call my wife and much more, you are caring, completely unselfish, and as a bonus drop dead gorgeous'
'I have had more than friendly feelings towards you for a while now ganga, I just thought you wouldn't reciprocate your feelings back, I mean I am old and I don't have the stamina like many young men do…'
Ganga covered his mouth 'please don't say such things about the man I love, he has a wonderful heart and that's all I care for'
'that's all nothing else…not even my well built body' he smirked
'well that's a bonus' ganga blushed
'that's what I love about you more, the way you blush when you feel embarrassed or shy, it drives me insane'
'Jeet lets go home, to our bedroom, we have a lot to talk about'
'just talking sweetheart' aparajit smiled as she blushed again and took her hand in his and led her down to their awaiting limo
More romance to come ?
