ok herez the next part guys...i just seem to be having a lot of time on my hands during this long weekend, which accounts for these sudden, quick updates...this part is mostly from prem's perspective, but i tried to throw in a bit of mukti's as well....
.........................................................
he stretched his body and yawned...opening his eyes, he noticed mukti looking out of the window...it was getting dark now, and shadows were beginning to form on the vacant walls of the room...moonlight was streaming in from the window, casting a glistening glow on her face...she was looking distantly...staring unblinkingly at what seemed like a far-off object... the window was open, which allowed a gentle nightly breeze to flow in and stroke her hair...there was something extraordinary about her at that moment which he could not place...something out of this world, he thought...he knew she was looking at nothing in particular, but even her vacant gaze seemed to inspire nothing except awe and wonder....
she did not notice him get up from bed....she was too in depth of her own thoughts right then....
he moved towards her slowly, yet determinedly....she did not hear his steps approaching nearer and nearer....he was right behind her now....being so close, he could feel the powerfullness of her presence....the moonlight shined through the open window, and he could see her skin illuminate magnificently under its effect....he wanted to bend down and touch the dancing light on her neck and shoulders.....he wanted to hold her right there and then as she stood gazing obliviously into the darkness outside....he stood there looking at her for a long time....
she suddenly gave a sigh and moved to turn back....
realizing she might catch him staring behind her, he quickly grabbed her arms, and yelled "Boo!!!" as loudly as he could into her ear....she screamed in fright and gasped as she saw his figure behind her....realizing it was only him, she started shaking him frantically....even though it was dark, he could see her fuming eyes....
mukti(glaring at him menacingly): PREM! ARE U OUT OF UR MIND?! WHY THE HECK DID U HAVE TO SCARE ME LIKE THAT? AND IN THIS DARK ROOM? U JERK!
she kept hitting him and pushed him back after a while... apparently, she really had been quite terrified...
prem: OWWW! BASANTI, U JUST HIT ME ON MY BRUISE!! stop it for God's sake...i said i'm sorry! i couldn't help it! it was a perfect oppurtunity!
mukti: u call that a perfect oppurtunity? i could have a had a heart attack, and THEN what would u have done, eh? just get out of my way!
she stormed out of the room, only to bring his meal in a while later.....she was glaring at him still when she turned on the lights and motioned for him to lie down....not wanting to argue with her in that temper, he quickly obliged....she sat next to his bed and put on new bandages on his bruises...very tightly this time, owing to her anger and frustation at him....it was only after he screamed out that it was painful, that she loosened them up a bit....
he could sense how mad she was at him....
but he smiled on the inside, perfectly aware that he had unexpectedly stepped on a delicate nerve....
hmmmmm,apparently miss basanti is really, really afraid of the dark, he thought.........
