Dev's POV
"This is harder than i thought it would be." I said. I was on my knee right in front of Sonakshi trying to reciprocate words out of my mouth. Honestly, I had thought it to be the easiest job. I dreaded talking to Baba and my Maa but never to Sonakshi. Now that the moment is here and she is right in front of me, looking at me, I am blank. Although we had a really good relationship in these last three months, I fear if it is too early for this. Initially the things were a little difficult for us which was quite expected, after all we were staying together after 7 long years and our past memories were bitter. But with time everything started taking its shape. We started talking more, sharing our heart, trying to know each other better because off course both of changed a lot in these 7 years. More than anything we were great friends. From teasing each other to munching something together in the middle of night, from laughing over something until our stomach ached to sharing the low moments with each other. All this while my love for her increased manifold and I was sure that she loved me too. But right now i feel like fool for being so impatient and not giving her enough time.
"you probably know by now, that what i am upto. So here it goes. Sona! I want..." i paused.
"Damn!" i muttered. Not even a single word was ready to escape my mouth. Why was it so difficult? It was so simple and effortless, the first time I had proposed her. I didn't even know if she loved me. And today? Maybe our past is making it intricate. Maybe my past actions are making me terrified because after what i did, no sane person would ever accept me. All the possibilities of her refusal are adding to my worry and my apprehension to lose her again.
I was trembling by now. It's okay dev. Just breathe in and breathe out. Everything's going to be okay. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and was about to start all over again, when Sonakshi made me stand. She came close to me and held my hands securely near her heart.
"May be it has to be done this way. Let's do it together." She said softly and trust me! A new wave of confidence built in me. Her voice, like always did wonders.
"Dev! We made mistakes. Both of us did. Both of us have flaws but together we are flawless." She murmured looking right into my eyes.
"We are each other's perfect fit. We can both go wrong but when we are together, i don't know if we go right, all i know is we together make it right." I spoke clenching her hands tighter.
"You are annoying but there is no one who can make me smile the way you do." She stated with a serene smile playing on her face.
"You are bossy. But only you have the charm to make my heart flutter." I said and continued
"So what say Sona? Let's tie in again? And make our love win over everything this time? Let's show our past that together, we can make the most beautiful future. This time we won't fight against each other but for each other. I want to stand by you forever. Will you marry me again Sona? Will you let me annoy you for the rest of our lives? Will you be mine forever? And i promise by forever, i mean FOREVER."
I went on my knee, holding a glimmering diamond studded band. She sat on my thighs with a thud and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"yes! I will dev. Our journey won't be perfect but it will be OUR'S and I'll stick with you till the end. I love you dev. I really really do and I always have."
And with that I slid the ring in her petite fingers. And hugged her tight. No scratch that. The tightest! I couldn't be more happier and that was probably evident on my face. I felt my shirt getting wet. See! That's why i say girls are confusing. Instead of being happy and all smiles, my lady is crying.
"Hey! This is not fair. I know i messed it up a little but I tried making this day special for you and here you are. Crying?"i pouted breaking the hug.
"these are happy tears, silly boy!" she said pulling my cheeks. I was about to complain for doing that baby thing again but she knew me too well. She just pecked my nose to shut me up and hugged me again whispering i love you' which was only audible to us.
Suhana who was standing beside us all the time, was grinning widely. She nudged my arm, indicating to be part of the hug too and soon enough she was one. Ah! My beautiful girls. These two are my world now and i would do anything to protect them and keep them happy. I broke the hug and took out suhana's favourite candy from my pocket.
"there is no way i can forget you angel. Will you allow me to marry your mumma again? Will you let me take care of both of you? Will you be my partner in crime always?" i asked my little munchkin. She was the most important part of our lives now and her decision matters the most. She was the best thing happened to me and sonakshi. And these three months with her made me realise that life could be blissful. Life is about being happy with the little things and making the most out of it.
Suhana kissed my cheek and hugged me with all the force a 6year old could gather." I love you the most papa." She said and sonakshi looked at her with her mouth wide open. "oh sorry! I love you too mumma. I love you both the most. "she corrected foolishly, while everyone else laughed and cheered.
"Soha! Come on! Its late now. Let's get sleeping."
Sonakshi ordered soha as she came out of the bathroom getting changed. We came back from the dinner an hour ago and were preparing for bed now.
"Papa" soha called out, signalling me to pick her up. Can she be
anymore adorable? I picked her up while sonakshi howled "what? Are you a kid soha? How old are you? T..." and before sonakshi could say
anything else, soha exclaimed."Two mumma! I am two years old." And she just wrapped her arms around me resting her little head on my
shoulders. God this child is the cutest. I couldn't help but laugh at a
baffled sonakshi.
Once i was sure that my little one was sleeping peacefully and was
tucked in her blanket comfortably, i made my way to sonakshi's room. Offcourse, she was a kid too and making her sleep was the toughest job. She worked like frenzies the whole day and when she could rest and sleep on time, one would find her doing unnecessary chores. I entered her room only to find it empty? Doesn't she get tired? I wonder which corner of the house she was in now?
After checking the whole house, i decided to check my room and there she was! Standing by the window, lost in her own world and i was looking for her everywhere. I just walked upto her and encircled my arms around her from the back, thus startling her.
"Sleep time kido! Lets tuck you in too" i said kissing her cheek and making her turn around in my embrace.
"No! I am not going anywhere" she pouted. God! My daughter and her mother are so darn cute.
"This room is so pretty. Its so colourful and bright. I like it here more. I am staying here." She stated authoritatively and sat on the bed cross legged. I tried suppressing my laughter.
"Okay! But it was you who got your room designed that way. All dull and boring." I said sitting beside her.
She made annoyed yet funny faces and spoke "That's because i had turned into Ms.Aubhodro all these years. But i dont want to be that
anymore." Thats true. When we bought this apartment, the three of us got our rooms ready the way we wanted. I was shocked when sonakshi got her walls painted white with greys and dull blue colors of the furniture and things. But suhana told me that her mother liked it that way. She didn't like colors. And all these years without sonakshi made me love all the things, she used to love and hence my room was colourful and bright. But i am so happy that not only suhana but sona is also breaking her maturity and being strong shell. She deserves to be loved and pampered after all.
"Well in that case, Ms.Aubhodro i will sleep in your room and you
sleep here." I said casually.
"Alone?" She asked. "What do u mean alone sona? You used to sleep in your room alone too." I said a bit surprised by her talks.
"No but! I mean... oh yeah! What if this night lamp doesn't work? " she said foolishly. Oh! Now i get it. Its not the room that she likes, it's the owner of the room. Ms.bose! You will yourself have to admit that you want us to share the bed. This is gonna be so much fun.
"Arey! Its working. I got the bulb changed yesterday only. Come on.
Sleep now." I said making her lay down not giving her a chance to do
anything.
"But Dev! What if someone enters the room from that window?"
She said. I tried hard not to chuckle.
"Seriously sonakshi" i exclaimed while covering her with the blanket. She made faces. "Good night, love" i wished, kissing her forehead. I turned around to leave the room only to be stopped by her. Ahan! There you go Ms.Bose. I looked back at her and she gripped my hand tighter.
"Dont go! I want you to be my pillow. I am tired of sleeping all alone
without your warmth and not seeing your handsome face, the first thing in morning." She spoke with her eyes reflecting love. Just pure love. I have waited for this moment for so long. And I just loved this adorable kiddo sonakshi. Okay! Enough now Mr.Dev. She would cry any minute now.
"And i thought that was just my problem." I said cuddling next to her. She didn't say anything, just hugged me tight burying her face in my chest. I hugged her back drowning myself in her fragrance. But it was just a few seconds later, i heard her sniffling. I broke the hug and saw her eyes filled with tears. My heart broke seeing her in that state.
"Shona! What happened love? Why are you crying?" I asked cupping her face protectively.
"It's just that i have missed you so much.Your protective arms, your
handsome face, your beautiful heart. Everything." She said softly. I
just wiped her tears and kissed her eye.
"It's okay shona! Stop crying. You should be thankful that you had soha. I had no one. It was even more difficult for me. Let's just forget it and never think about those days anymore. What's more important is that we are together now." I said trying to calm her down.
"Dev promise me you won't leave me? I won't be able to survive this time."
"I won't sona. I would never. I made a blunder and there's no way i am going to repeat that. Just trust me? "
"I trust you dev!" She mumbled in a muffled voice and i kissed her
right on her lips. This kiss meant so much. It was more like a kiss of
promise, a promise that would be kept forever.
"Hey! What is that shinny thing on your finger Ms.bose?" we broke the kiss and I said trying to lighten up the mood. She looked at her finger, admiring it and said
"oh this! There's this rude, aubhodro type guy who proposed me a few hours ago."
"Ah! Rude! Isn't he the same hot and handsome guy who loves you pretty much " I said encircling my arms around her waist.
"No no! The guy, who is so cute that i could pull his cheeks all the time. My cutie patootie." She pulled my cheeks aagain.
"God! Sona! When will you stop doing that and i am not any cutie putie or whatever." I said averting my gaze and she giggled.
"Acha baba! You are hot. okay?"she pecked my cheeks.
"Hmm" i grinned.
"hot cutie patootie" she added chuckling.
I groaned but later smiled hugging her again. And With a whispered
good night, we were both out like a light in next few minutes.
