Wedded Bliss
Part ~15
He looked at her, as she sat there on the sleeping bag, slightly anxious.. "neend aye hai kya? humm?, he asked with a gentle jerk of his broad head. His eyes were filled with staid mischief. She thought, why not return it with equal measure ,with a firm left to right shake of her head, replied, "nehi Saab ,abhi nehi?.He furrowed his eyebrows a bit, kyon? I thought you must be tired what with the journey, the unpacking and the cooking.. at each example she shook her head, and he leaned forward a bit and said softly, "you scared Naku ?.. of me.. yahan jungle mein, I could do anything to you .."he said with a straight face. She covered her face with her hands to check her giggles. But he continued to caresses the top of her hand, "bare hasi ah rehe hai thujhe.."he grumbled. She mumbled under her breathe, it's what stuff you come out with Saab , makes me laugh", she admitted and pulled her bottom lip to one side as she looked at him with her big green doe eyes.." Naku, did you know that all your little coy acts, like your giggles, your pulling your lip to one side..make me believe that you flirting with me big time".. and he put his arms around her and began to flatten her backwards.. she held herself up with her palms pressed upon the partly opened sleeping bag. Inches away from her face he looked down angrily at her and shoved her down, moved to the far end of the sleeping bag , pulled her roughly close to him and elbowed on to her bosom and barked.. "now stopping acting like we got married yesterday! and zip up the bloody bag from your side!
She hastily, doubled herself up and stretched her arm to reach the zip end but couldn't reach,"Saab fold your legs, the bag is to long for me to get too"... he chuckled and growled with pleasure and threw one of his long heavy legs on her short ones," here!" he went , better? she went haan , and he heard the metallic noise of the zipper teeth as she enclosed them up to a point. He shifted his body and tried to spread his arms. Once he did, she snuggled warmly into his wide hard body, her head rested on his left bicep. He turned his head and his chin relaxed on the top of her head. "tell me Naku , why you didn't pack pillows? She moved her eyes up to him and he doubled his stubble chin.. "ye haina pillow apka arm. why carry extra stuff..? he smiled and pressed his lips on her snug warm head... "bhar ah ke tu kuch zayeeda he OTT over the top! ho gaye hai Naku! he said .. shyly she moved her fingers from his side to his hairy chest and she was about to pluck a clump of his dark curly hairs and he thumped her hand down on his chest and sided his eyes into her green eyes.. don't be such a billi, mujhe shy se, coy se lardki pasand hai.. waise tell me , why do you pull my chest hairs?.. she brought her other hand to the tiny smudge of hair under his lower lip.."woh kya haina Saab ..I feel in control.. he , gave her a slanted smile, and pressed the tip of his defined nose on her forehead, and murmured, "Naku, there are other nicer ways to control me, hummm".. and she gently felt his stubble cheek... he stroked her upper arm in his embrace.. and she closed her eyes.. as she felt his full lips on hers. Dutta adored and worshipped every section of her body.Her delicate being just faded in his imposing presence. Somewhere in the woods a wolf wailed for it's mate and Naku clamped on to his back in fright. He kissed her neck softly.. ey Naku. darte kyun hai? jungle ka badshah tere saath hai.. and he nipped the soft smooth skin of her neck by his teeth.. and she moaned and slapped his back , Saab stop behaving like a .. he raised his head and looked into her eyes and muttered.."you turned a decent man into a predator, Naku.." and his pressed his mouth on hers.

Baji raised himself on his elbow and looked at Anay .. zipped up snugly in his sleeping bag.. his tubby little fingers pressed on his electronic toy. "Ey! sau ja ub, give your game a rest too..", Anay sided his eyes and replied, "you don't scare me Baji , mujhe nehi neend eye.. Baji propped up a bit and rolled his eyes, and turned to Anay , "did someone ever tell you ke tu pain hai.. too big for your age, baacha hai tu, so act like one!.. Anay doubled his chin, swallowed and replied.. "well times have changed Baji nowadays kids much smarter! "and Baji folded his belly and yelled, "ey!ghup! before I clobber you!.. Anay sat up in his sleeping bag, "I want to go and sleep with Naku!" ... and he began to fuss. Baji looked at him, "areee you know who Naku is sharing her tent with? .. you go there, you won't return in one piece!" Anay, looked at Baji , and pushed his lower lip out.. "ok then tell me a story... Baji, pressed his temples and blinked his eyes and then looked at Anay who sat with his arms folded at the top end of his sleeping bag ready and waiting for Baji to begin his narration.. "well once upon a time many years ago, there was a boy, he was the same age as yourself.. he lived with a woman and a man , whom he called mausi and kaka.. kaka told this little boy that he was his distant relative.. may be an uncle.But one day this boy found out that the couple didn't really want him living with them . The little boy cried a lot that night.. and ran away .. for days he wandered the streets, waiting for scraps of food to be chucked away, so he could rummage around the rubbish and eat anything that was edible.
One day it rained heavily and he got drenched. The cold rain bit into his warm flesh and he shivered like a leaf.. and he starved too.. it seemed he would now have to beg for food. That day the little boy cried a lot, his tummy rumbled and stopped him from going to sleep.. but tiredness and hunger made his body limp and he pulled his knees up to his tummy, pressed his face on his knees and cried his eyes out.. someone felt the top of his head. The boy looked up and a kind lady with a gentle face smiled at him.. why are you crying son? she asked the little boy, and the boy cried , I am starving.. next to the lady stood a tall thin boy with narrowed eyes, who turned to the lady and said,"Aye, looks like he is homeless..? then the kind lady's son looked at the little boy and offered him his palm, humare ghar jale ga?.. the little boy held on to his hand, and the tall boy pulled him to his feet, but as the little boy got to his feet his legs wobbled and began to give way... the tall boy in a flash bent his knees and caught the little boy in his arms and carried him all the way to an old car.. put the sad little boy in the back seat of the car.. and the little boy went to sleep with a smile on his lips...
Baji , wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.. and looked at Anay who lay fast asleep in his sleeping bag..thumb in mouth..
Baji, pushed his body into his sleeping bag and turned to his side and hugged his pillow tightly..had it not been for this loving family that took him, he would have been a man without a name...
~~~~~~~~~ Dutta felt her slightly heavy side on the side of his chest he half opened his eyes and doubled his chin and caught sight of her bare folded arm on his hairy chest..he moved his head slightly and felt the fingertips of her folded arm pressed on his skin under his biceps.. ooonhh! she moaned and he brushed his palm on her arm.. she had no intentions of getting up..
He heard footsteps outside their tent, and then something that sounded like a snort.. Dutta mumbled, "uth ja aur bed tea le kar ah.. Naku moved her rosy cheek away from his chest and he held her face in his palms and studied her features.. kajal smudged green eyes.. slightly bruised mouth and hair entangled and oh so wild.. he chuckled and said.."Naku you were something else last night.. she slammed her palm on his mouth and blushed from her neck to her face.. as she unzipped the sleeping bag and folded her legs , ready to haul herself up. With his head rested on his crossed arms he watched her, and pulled his lips to one side..
She went towards the tent opening and before she raised the flap, the face of a brown donkey poked in it's wide stretched lips centimetres away from Naku's face. ahhh!! she screamed and her body arched backwards! she turned and ran back to Dutta and fell on him and he chuckled and encircled her back with his arms. He laughed,"kya hoya ek gadhe se tu dar gaye, hummm? and he pressed her back with his fingers.. and said,"now get off me please..he grumbled , but she grabbed his bare shoulders, "I am not getting off you ! phele us ..she pointed her arm backwards to the opening of the tent.. Dutta pressed the tip of his nose on her cheek and mumbled .. "if you bloody get off me, tu I'll deal with that lover of yours"! Naku yelled "oyeee! don't call that gadha my lover.. and he squeezed her in his arms and went ahhh... cuppa tea pleaseee.. she rolled over on the sleeping bag .. and Baji shouted outside,"areee yehre! what are you doing here? and Dutta rolled his eyes and turned his head towards Naku.."ah gaya salla nautanki.. alarm clock!
Anay yelled from outside, mamoo! Mammi! look a donkey! I am feeding him an apple!
Naku got up and ran to the flap of her tent and peeped out.. "Anay ! be careful he doesn't bite you, he has big teeth!. Dutta rolled over on his side in the sleeping bag and grumbled, "don't wake me up before you get my tea!...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Naku returned he was dressed up in his steel grey pathiani, pulling his socks on his slender toes.. "baher it's cold tu, waistcoat zaroor pehan lena" she advised and he, turned his head and checked her out,"aur tu, did you only get sari's for yourself?, she looked back in surprise at him and , yes Saab , you know that's all I wear.. and he give a slow hummm.. wish you wore jeans.. he remarked with a chuckle, she retorted , it's as unthinkable like you dressing up in a sari!", and she giggled , as he smiled a little and moved his narrow eyes the other way.. Naku , seeing that he was dressed , went to the exit opening of the tent. Dutta stood up on his legs and felt her shoulders gently, and pushed his head forward against the back of her neck.. meri chai kahan Naku ?. Naku cranked her head just a bit and muttered, "come out and I'll give you some.." he poked his thumb in the lower dip of her back.. tyrant! and followed her out like a good boy. Baji and Anay already sat cross legged on the green grass eating away toasted bread and butter. Naku sat on folded legs looking intensely involved in toasting bread on a heated griddle on the Bunsen burner. Dutta sat opposite her, his knees folded, arms resting on them and his intense narrowed eyes rested on her.. his mouth pulled to one side felt the stubble under his nose.. Anay, called, "Naku mammi , mamma is looking at you like he'll gobble you up! Baji sniggered, Naku de jaldi kuch kahane ko Bhau ko... bhooka sher aur bhi khaternak hota hai.. Naku giggled, buttered two toasts for him and passed a plate over to him he raised a finger and wagged it a bit and looked to the mug of tea and requested .. phele meri bed tea de.. Naku nodded and passed his tea.. which he sipped and then munched on his piece of toast..
The donkey came towards them.. he looked for more food and Anay , gave him bread.. Baji looked , across to the donkey,"salle ke kya mast life ! koi kam nehi dhande nehi! sare din ghumta phirta hai!.. Dutta sipped his tea, and looked at Baji with narrowed eyes,"you like it's lifestyle , why don't you join him here, waise bhi tere bhai jaisa hai!.. Baji curled his mouth and turned to look at Naku ! who smiled at him.. and Dutta moved his head sideways and asked her, what are you laughing about?
Anay asked, what are we doing today?.. Baji rolled his eyes and looked at Dutta, Bhau kya high maintenance baacha hai ye! saach mein! Anay pulled a face and yelled , I am not an electronic super boy who needs maintenance.. he argued and Dutta tuned his head and gave him a cold look.. "be quiet Anay, sometimes you back chat a lot!" Dutta warned him.
Once they tidied up a bit they headed towards the major information point of the camping site. Baji looked at the cruiser,"Bhau do we take the car or..?"Dutta looked at all and decided, "no we leg it, what's the point of coming to the great outdoors, and carry on with urban activities." Naku ,of course nodded her head , in support of her husband, "yes we'll walk , it may be just a short stroll and she unfolded the map and Anay and herself squatted on the green and studied the map as they ran their fingers on the map signs.. Dutta stood watching them and with folded arms suggested.. "go along the cycle tracks, and foot paths.."he bent and pressed his finger on the information sign on the map, "here that's where we need to go!.. now get up and start walking..
Naku reached out for Anay's hand and lead , but Dutta extended his palm and closed it around her wrist, with a narrow eyed look into her eyes, "use jane de Baji ke saath, tum mera saath chal". She gave him a wide eyed look and fell in step beside him. He mumbled, hold my hand .. and she shook her head, as he turned his head and rolled his eyes.
The walk, lead them to the breath taking water's edge, glazed with reflections of majestic trees and the blue hue of the clear firmament. Anay was about to run towards the water, and Dutta , stopped him, "keep walking Anay , there'll be plenty of opportunities to learn more about the riverside, look to your side , see how the ponies and horses graze on the lush greens ..
Once they got to the information point, they began to pick and chose what they wished to do. Naku looked at what was on offer and suggested, "I think , this would be useful for Anay especially, ranger activities.. Dutta made enquiries from the man behind the counter, "is there a ranger on site, want to have a quick word with him.". Just then Baji walked from the side with a man dressed in camping site tracks top and bottom, with a baseball cap on head, Baji , yelled,"Bhau ye hai ranger, ask him".The ranger invited them for an hour long walk , across a selected area.. he would give them a guided tour ,and the walk would be information based.
Dutta, Baji ,Naku ,and above all Anay accepted, and the walk began.. Dutta and Naku walked behind and Dutta turned and gave her a sided look, " hope you don't get tired Naku? waise if you do, I'll carry you in my arms..Naku giggled, and replied softly, "and if you get tired of lugging me then what?.. he discreetly put his arm around her shoulder and sloped his head towards her and replied as he pointed out to the green open space amid the tree lined view, "then my Naku I will lie you down on the green grass and snatch a few little kisses from your pretty little lipsss..
The ranger, stopped and called out, "now if you look to your left, you will see plants here which are edible like these fungi.. and Anay yelled , "haan ye mushrooms hain!. and Dutta warned him, "but all mushrooms are not edible, some are poisonous and can make you ill..give you an upset tummy.." Naku moved towards the tree the ranger pointed to as he explained, "and some plants have medicinal properties" , and Dutta put his arm around Anay's shoulders, and clarified,"they can be used for treating an illness. Naku plucked a leave from the tree and smelt it and offered it to Anay, while the man explained that the tree was Eucalyptus tree used to cure colds.. Baji plucked a little branch and waved it before Dutta, " shall we take it Bhau , may be it's used to keep people calm and cool as well! he guffawed , and Dutta glared at him, and growled,"tu bikwas na kare tu main shant he reheta hoon."
They next came to a wooden hut in a bird sanctuary... which the man explained was for birdwatching.. in turns they went in to look out of the glass window, and a pair of supplied binoculars.. to study birds in their habitats. Naku explained to Anay, "now you must be very quiet Anay , otherwise the noise will make the birds fly away..
Finally it was Dutta and Naku's turn, and Naku did as she was meant to do.. but Dutta turned to her profile and brazenly stared at her. She looked through the binoculars, at a sparrow who fed her hungry chick.. stuffing down a scrap of food down it's sharp gaping beak.. Dutta, put his arm around her shoulders... and pressed his lips on her temples, and then raised his arm and pointed to a male bird thrusting his chest to impress it's mate..Dutta mumbled, "us mamma birdie
ko chor, us hero ko dekh kaise apne heroine ko pata rahe hai hummm ,"he went as he tightened his arm around her shoulder and nipped her ear cartilage.. she put her binoculars down and sided her face towards him and looked into his contracted eyes. He gazed back meaningfully, as her eyes pleaded to him.. he lowered his eyes, and pulled his mouth to one side.. loosened his grip and turned, "chaal let's go.. ~~~~~~~~~~~
When they came out of the bird house, Anay , Baji ,were busy crouched in a off the track cave like mound.. the ranger explained we'll talk about nocturnal inhabitants of the woodlands, many furry and feathered creatures come out of their burrows and nests when it's dusk .. "this cave is a bat's roost, bats are nocturnal flying creatures, they live in a colony".. Anay held on to Dutta's leg as he gingerly peeped into the cave and saw little hundreds of little black blobs hanging down from the ceiling of the dark cave... and Dutta explained to him, "you know Anay, like cats, bats too have night vision and can see in the dark.." the ranger explained that owls, moths are night time creatures.. Baji put his arm around Anay and said with an evil face, "like vampires and Dracula!", and Anay ran and hugged Dutta's legs. Naku, told Baji, off, "why are you frightening the poor boy!, Anay, there are no such things like vampire!"..the ranger looked helplessly at Dutta , and Dutta ,said apologetically, "this guy is like the naughty boy of the class, just ignore him." and he yanked his arm at Baji, who rubbed his chin..
Once the walk finished , Anay still full of beans , wanted the bikes.. Dutta said to Baji ,"I think we should hire the bikes now and cycle our way back to our tents since we have walked already for nearly a mile..!" Anay, shouted with glee and stood by the bike Dutta chose for him after a safety check had been done.. before he got on Anay tells Dutta , "mamma I need to go to the toilet"..
Naku turns to Baji, "shall I give him a shock..? Baji listened to the idea and doubled up.. before they could rethink, they briskly made towards the section where bikes were hired. Baji put on the skull guard biking helmet on his head and passed Naku's and Dutta's while he held Anay's .. paid and cleared the necessary dues and sat on his bike his legs .. parked on the ground ..
When Dutta returned from the toilets, he was gob smacked to see Naku helmet on head! cycling down towards him like a pro! completely at ease! a picture of grace, her sari clad thighs propelling the pedals revealing a decent amount of her dainty fair ankles and her sandal clad toes..
Anay clapped ! in mirth , and Dutta went , "what the hell!! and he walked in her way and stood with his legs apart in his steel grey pathiani , his arms stretched out wide! imposingly blocking her.. she tinkled her bike bell and swerved to avoid him and cycled on as Baji clapped .. Dutta turned slowly on his heels and she cycled back... her hair and her sari pallu unfurled and blew gently in the breeze. She braked, turned her head and looked him in the eye.. and said.. "want a lift Saab ?.. he twisted his mouth and his eyes beamed and he moved her arm and heaved his huge frame on the metal rod in front of her.. his long legs held on the ground on both sides and his palms clamped over the handle bar of the bike.. with his back to her, he give her bosom a little press and said.. "chal ! give me a ride Naku!!, he chuckled.. Anay before they got on their bikes cheered at the sight of the tiny Naku giving the might Dutta a bike ride.. Baji gave a loud wolf whistle , as Naku pedalled away rhythmically , completely in control , with Dutta's back pressed against her in front. His head blocked her frontal vision, and she said, "Saab apna sar agge se hutao, I can't see where I am going", he chuckled, "give the back of my neck a kiss! then I'll move my head!". he teased, she swiftly pecked him and he moaned, "now that was not a kiss! it was just a measly little brush of your lips! couldn't even feel them!.. she giggled, and replied as she cycled on and lurched into his wide imposing back.. "take it or leave it she challenged..Dutta closed his eyes and threw his head back a bit.. and commented.."waise you are such a big rotten liar Naku! you said you couldn't ride a bike.." and she pressed her chin on his shoulder.. "I wanted to surprise you.. waise bhi what difference does it make.. I am still behind you.. and you ahead.. and she giggled.. he bumped his head back , and roared, stop the bike! and I'll tell you the difference..."!
She did as she was told , and he got off and said,"ok Naku you've had had your fun and he pointed to the bar ahead of the bike, "now let me have my fun..". she sat sided on the bike and he yanked his long leg over and settled on the saddle of the bike.. one of his toes dug into the ground.. finally he held the bike handle with his right hand. His left arm he curved around her waist and belly, and since none was about, he doubled his chin and give her a kiss just above her cheek and whispered, "now watch , I'll ride with one hand.. my other arm has better things to do hummm, he teased as he felt her warm belly.. and then pedalled away slowly, his head inclined forward every now and then to feel her head and smell her fragrance mixed with the fresh aroma of the vibrant forest life..
She looked across at squirrels that darted furtively with bushy tails along the cycling path. her hair blew in wind and tickled his pronounced nose..
Till it was dusk he cycled carrying the love of his life on the bike.Then he stopped, for a bit.. parked his bike.. and helped her get off the bike.. she stood before him.. the orange sun behind her.. he perked her chin up, and palmed her face, her every feature with his slender fingers.. and looked down into her eyes with tenderness. His wide arms closed around her soft shoulders, and she snuggled on warm, hairy chest, in the security of his arms.. he propped his stubble cheek on her head and said," Naku tera Saab thujhse bahut pyar kerta hai... to be continued..
