" samajhti kya h ye bandariya khud ko... maharani h kya khi ki... jab dekho bhadakti rehti h... mai bhi kam nhi hu... is baar nhi maanuga mai..." hissed an angry kabir and turned to his side of bed to sleep. Kabir was really annoyed on nisha today. He was trying to manaofy her as tomorrow will be their first holi after marriage... of course they have celebrated it before but this time it was in every true sense their first holi. But she wasn't budging a little to celebrate it. He had tried every single trick to make her say yes but always only one thing came out of her mouth that was a no to color. Nisha was watching him intently from the door as he had banged it on her face in anger after their argument. She felt really bad to hurt him this much. " kya yaar nisha... bechara bus thoda rang hi to khelna chahta tha na tere sath... ur tune use kitna suna dia... tyohar k din mood off kar dia... koi baat nhi... galti ki h to sudharegi bhi tu hi..." she said to herself and went away to call her gang.
She came back to her bedroom after half an hour and lay down beside him.
" Kabir sun na... kabir " she shook him as she knew he was faking sleep. Kabir didn't budge. " achha bhot gussa karke dikha rha h na... thik h beta... kal dekhna tjhe mai esa rangungi ki tu bhi khud ko pehchan nhi paega..." she said and smirked. " Nisha... mjhe koi holi voli nhi khelni h samjhi... ur koi rang nhi lgana h.. mjhe " he said. " lgana to tjhe padega hi... ur vo bhi mai hi lgaungi sabse pehle..." nisha said. " jo sochna h soch... bol dia na mjhe nhi pasand holi to nhi pasand... mai koi holi nhi khelunga" he said. " tune kab bola ki tjhe holi nhi pasand " she said raising her eyebrow. He baffled a little but said " to abhi kh dia na... sun lia na tune... ab soja chup chap" kabir said. " Pasand ho ya na ho... rang to tjhe mai lga k hi rahungi..." she said and smiled thinking of her plan.
The next morning kabir woke up after a long ring of his phone. He picked it up without looking at caller id. "Hello..." he said in a sleepy voice. " Oe kumbhkaran uth ja... aaj holi h... jaldi se is address p aa jna jo send kar rha hu... ur ha... koi natak nhi chahie mjhe samjha... sab tera wait kar rhe h" saurav said in a hurry and cut the call before kabir could say anything. Kabir looked at the other side of bed and found no one there. He sighed and remembered their argument. He then looked at the wall clock which was striking 10. " jana hi padega lagta h... warna ye wanar sena mera khoon kar degi" he said and went to freshen up. He picked up a shiny white kurta to wear but refrain himself from wearing it at the last moment and chose to wear a dark blue coloured one remembering his fight with nisha. " no matter what... m not gonna forgive her" kabir said and left for the place.
Kabir reached a farm house and found a wholesome crowd of coloured people. All were looking like clowns running after each other with echoing music and laughter. He entered the place and begin finding his saalas and saalis but admist of all his heart was still waiting for his nisha. " Oe kabir tu aa gya... la tjhe rang to lga du" umesh said. " Nhi umesh mera mood nhi h... vo to saurav ne kha islie aa gya warna mera koi man nhi tha holi khelne ka..." he said and went away. His eyes were scanning his surroundings, there were colours all over the place but still his eyes were searching for the one and only person with whom he wanted to celebrate this day. " how much u try to be angry at her kabir... her mere thought melt away your anger" he shook head at his helplessness. "I can't stay annoyed at her I don't know why" he smiled at himself and rebuking too at the same time. " u r hopeless kabir... a hopeless lover " he thought. He ditched everyone on his way escaping colours because he wanted his nisha to come and colour his body and his soul. He was standing at a corner of the garden when a pair of soft creamy hands smeared colour on his face. He smiled at the touch recognising it immediately.
"HOLI MUBARAK!!!"A very familiar voice screamed out from behind followed by musical laughter,for which his ear were soaring already..He raised his hands to touch hers lightly,as she smeared the color on his face,and with a naughty satisfied smile,he pulled her in front of him...
But nisha never got to see that smile as he masked his face with mock anger and irritation. He took in her look,before he spoke up..His heart soaring some more with happiness..She was dressed in white salwar kameez,her white dupatta round her neck,and her eyes kohl rimmed and beautiful as ever..And her thick beautiful hair were also open like always..He was again getting mesmerized so he quickly put on his best angry look.
" Ye kya mazak h nisha... tjhe mna kia tha na maine.. bola tha na mjhe holi nhi pasand " kabir said angrily. " nhi pasand to pasand karni padegi... kyuki mjhe to bhot pasand h..." she said giggling. her smile made his heart skip a beat,as he tried to keep his angry look on.Saying this she twisted her hand free,forcefully smeared some more colours on his face,making him completely colored in red,and blinded for a few seconds,and turned to run away . kabir ran after her,and while trying to get hold of her,they both slipped and rolled,so that nisha was now lying on top of kabir,on the hard color stained ground..Music seemed to sway from out of nowhere...
Thami Thami..Si Saansein
Thami Thami..Jeene Lagi..
Hai Tumse
Jo Mil Gayi..
Jo Mil Gayi..
As they stared into each other's eyes..Their face close to each other..Their breathing heavy..Wind swayed nisha's open tresses,and kabir slowly tucked some behind her ear..
Thami Thami Si Saasein
Jeene Lagi..Jeene Lagi..
Har Tumse Jo Mil Gayi
His hands tightened round her waist and pulled her a bit closer.. nisha gasped out,but stared unblinkingly into his eyes..
Asar Yeh Kaisa Teri Chaahat Ka Hai
Mujhpe Ho Gaya
Zarra Zarra Mere
Dil Ka Ab Tujh Mein
Hi Kho Gaya
Meharbaan Woh Rab Barsa Hai Jab Se
Tu Hai Mil Gaya
Tujhko Pa Ke Aisa Laage Ke
Khud Se Hoon Mil Gaya
Someone threw a plate of full colours nearby..And breeze made the powdered colours fall like rainbow on both of them lying on the ground,lost in each other's eyes..
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo..Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re Lagyo
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Embarrassed nisha got up and kabir got up too,and passing him a last look,she ran away..
Ke Lagyo Re Lagyo
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Thaaro Rang..
Kabir touched the color on his face,gave a naughty smile and ran after her,amidst the crowd of holimakers..He found her and caught her by her wrist,and before she could twist her hand free again,he pulled her behind a tree..Away from everyone's view..She was breathing heavily,as he came closer..Both her hands trapped in his by both sides of her head against the tree trunk.His eyes spoke a thousand words to her wide ones..As he went closer and closer..
O Rang Aisa Gehra Ishq Ka..
Hai Rooh Mein Ghulne Laga..
Chhoote Na..Chhoote Na..
Iska Nishaan..
He placed his cheek along side hers and smeared the red colour off his face onto hers,by brushing his cheeks against both of hers.The red colour from his face was now smeared on hers too..And they were both out of breath..
Jahaan Ki Parwaah Kya Jab
Dil Yeh Had Se Aage Badh Gaya
Saji Hai Duniya Meri
Mujhko Tu Naya Sa
Lag Gaya
He slowly lowered his head and smudged her forehead with his too..Not noticing he had just colored her maang too,with the red color once again..And then nuzzled her cute tiny nose with his..Smearing the red colour there too..
Ke Lagyo Re Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Thaaro Rang..
Suddenly out of nowhere rain started falling dripping them and also everyone wet..And still they stared on into eachother's eyes..Water dripping down their faces..
Dekhoon Pighalta Aasmaan..
Boondon Se Karta Hai Bayaan
Pyaar Mera..Pyaar Mera..
Bepanah..
Nisha tried to twist free and move away.. kabir pulled her back,so that her back bumped against his hard chest..
Jo Bhoole Se Bhi Na
Bhoole Tu
Aisa Waada Ban Gaya
He turned her around,and showed how her dupatta was stuck on his watch..
Tode Se Bhi Na Toote
Jo Dil Ka Naata Ban Gaya
He slowly pulled it free and covered her head with the dupatta,making her blush slightly..Time lost its pace,and they kept staring into each other's eyes..
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo..
ReKe Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re Lagyo
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Color flew around,and torrential rain,soaked them to their skin,yet they stood unmoving..
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Ke Rang Jo Lagyo Re
Nisha suddenly pulled herself free and ran away..kabir smiled sheepishly,running his hand through his wet hair and stared happily at her retreating back..
Ke Thaaro Rang...
He touched the colours she had smeared on his face,and sighed happily,leaning back against the tree trunk lost in moment.
Here nisha just stopped running to catch up on her breath. She was all red not only because of colour but because of the intensity of his eyes she has just experienced. It had been quite a time they had confessed their love for each other but still every time he came closer to her, her heart started beating faster running a marathon just like the first time. She was in her thoughts when saurav came in front of her with a tray full of laddos and glasses of thandai. Seeing him she flushed more thinking he would see her blush and quickly drank a glass of thandai... forgetting she was already red in colour. Saurav watched her dumbstruck as she gulped down two more glasses and a handful of laddos. " ae nisha paagal kya kia ye tune... " he said but his words never reached her as she ran merrily out of his sight. " saurav ye nishu ko kya hua... achanak" dolly asked. " kya hua nhi ab kya hoga ye soch dolly... nisha ki bachhi 3 glass bhang wali thandai pee gyi h ur upar se ye bhaang k laddu bhi kha gyi do chaar" saurav said shocked. " what. Ur tne use khane die... paagal h kya " she squealed. " Abe usne mjhe kuch bolne hi nhi dia... ur seedha hamla kar dia is bechari masoom tray p" he said. " Kya hua dosa... yha kyu khade ho" sukku said winking at them. "Dolly blushed and hit his arm. " abe sukku... bhot bdi gadbad ho gyi yaar " saurav said. " Kya hua..." sukku asked. " abe nisha ka plan nisha p hi bhari pd gya... usne kabir k lie ye bhaang k laddu ur thandai mangayi thi... ur khud hi pee gyi... pta nhi kha chali gyi" saurav told hi everything. " kya bol rha h saurav... ab us missile ko kaun sambhalega... " sukku said. " Kabir... kewal vo hi sambhal sakta h use... jao pehle kabir ko btao sab jake" dolly suggested. " ha saurav dolly di sahi kh rhi h... uski musibat vo hi sambhalega..." sukku said while saurav agreed.
Kabir was still standing against the tree trunk lost in his own sweet world when saurav and sukku came in front of him. He didn't identified them at first as they were looking like ghosts coloured in blue and purple colours. " kabir... tu yha khada h yaar... hm kabse tjhe dhund rhe h..." saurav said. " Tm dno ko ye bhoot kisne bnaya h ye btao pehle... dra hi dia mjhe" kabir said laughing at them. " Kabir yaar hasna band kar... bhot bdi musibat aa gyi h" sukku said. " Kyu... kya ho gya... " kabir asked. " vo..." and saurav told him how nisha had made a plan of intoxicating him with bhaang but instead she got trapped in her own plan. " kya... nisha ne bhaang khali... ur tm dno yha mjhe ye btane aae ho... abe use roka kyu nhi... kha gyi vo..." kabir panicked. " pta nhi yaar gate ki taraf gyi thi bus khi bahar na chali gyi ho" sukku said.
Kabir's heart was beating like a maddened thing thinking of the consequences of her state. He ran outside in search of her. " Bunty... idhar sun tune nishu ko khi dekha.." kabir asked bunty who was at the entrance. " ha jiju... di abhi bahar gyi h..." bunty replied. " Kya... kha gyi vo... akeli h kya.." kabir asked. " Ha vo vha... lake k pass gyi h... pta nhi bhot has rhi thi... ur maine pucha to kuch boli nhi bus hasti hui vha chali gyi" bunty told him. " he bhagwaan kya karu mai is ladki ka..." kabir said and ran towards the lake leaving behind a more confused bunty.
Kabir ran as fast as he could his heart almost bursting out in fear.He could not imagine where she was or what she could be doing at that moment..Frantic and breathless already he called out her name loudly..Hoping against hope that she was safe and could answer him back..Suddenly he heard something to which his ears perked up instantly..
"NISHAA ?!!"He called out again,and ran the way the sound came from..He reached a mango grove and looked around for the source of the noise..
Then he heard it again..
"Aaj main upar aasma niche..Aaaj main age zamana hai peeche.."
He heard nisha's singing voice which was followed by giggling sound.. kabir ran towards the tree,and realised she was sitting on a branch,and dangling her legs from it a she giggled crazily to herself.
He hit his head at the scene. " nisha upar kya kar rhi h... niche utar abhi..." he called out to her.
" Kyu... kyu utru mai... mai nhi utarti... ja jo karna h kar le... jab dekho hukum chalate rehta h" she shouted angrily.
He was now worried she might fall off the tree any time in her drunk state..She looked down at him and giggled some more..Still dangling her legs precariously.
Kabir didn't knew what to do... should he call cousins to help him out. But if by the time something happened what will he do... and of all days today kabir has left his mobile at home. He was in thoughts when suddenly a squeak made him look up,and get scared out of his skin when he looked up..His eyes almost bulged out as he saw nisha was now holding onto a branch with both her hands and hanging precariously..
" Kabira... mujhe catch kar le..." she giggled crazily and left her hands. Kabir had adjusted his position just in time for her to land safely in his arms..As kabir stood with her in his arms,trying to catch a shaky breath,she smiled up at him with glowing eyes..And before he knew it,she was pulling his cheeks with both her hands.."Awww!!!Koochi koochi kooo!!!My Knight in shining armour!My He-man!!!You are so strong!!!"She laughed out loud.
He smiled at her antics and shook his head at her act but her tight hug that followed her words,nearly got him blushing,and his body warming up..Although he could not relish it for too long,as she squirmed free out of his arms,and in the next instant was running away.. kabir getting over his shock,quickly ran after her,calling her out to stop in vain..He watched with worried eyes as he ran towards her. she had reached and stopped at the edge of the lake,and passed him a naughty look..kabir tried to run faster,scared even to think what she might be doing next..His heart squeezed out in fear,even as he was almost by her side,as he noticed her raising her eyebrows mischievously at him,and then with a last wink she jumped into the lake.
"Nishaa... " he called out in fear to look at her as he stopped where she had been standing just a few seconds away,and worriedly stared at her spluttering in the water..He was wondering what to do next,when suddenly her scream froze him to his bones.. " Kabira ! Mjhe tairna nai aata!!! She spluttered out splashing water around,as she tried hard to stay afloat.
SPLASH!!!
Kabir jumped into the water,and swam towards her,as fast as he could.. kabir had finally managed to hold her in his arms,and stayed afloat with her in his embrace,as he angrily stared down into her eyes..
"Tairna nai aata to paani mein kudi kyu? Pagal ladki!! Agar tjhe kuch ho jata to?" He gritted out angrily,as he tried to hold her close and safe in his arms at the same time.
But something in her expression was piercing his anger.. a soft look appeared on her face as she stared up at him dreamily. Her eyes looking deep into his eyes,and kabir was forgetting to think by the look in them..He inhaled a steadying breath as she moved her body closer to his,and pulled his face closer to hers too,as they stayed afloat in the water.
" to kya hota kabir... mai mar hi to jati na... tjhe to koi farak nhi padta ... tu to mjhse gussa h na... baat bhi nhi karega mjhse... mai bhoot buri hu na.." she said in a small voice.
"CHUP!!!EKDUM CHUP!! AUR BAKWAAS KI NA TO MAIN..."kabir could not finish his words in anger,and started swimming out of the water,with his arms still tight round her waist..He pulled her and himself out of the water,and stood breathing heavily,looking at everywhere but her wet form..But nisha seemed to have some other plan as she pulled his head,and turned it to face her.Her hands curved around his neck,and kabir stood rigid trying hard to not react to her sudden proximity ,and trying hardest not to look down to the wet white dress clinging to her curves and assets.He had taken a glimpse while pulling her out of the water,and the way the white material had turned nearly transparent had made his body react in the weirdest way,as it had hardened up in reaction..And now he was not ready to jump into those dangerous waters again.
He gulped again,as she pulled his face even more close,her warm sweet breath falling on his face,was warming up his wet body at a fast pace. And then looking deep into his eyes with her beautiful wide ones,she pouted her lips slightly,making him inhale a short sharp breath.
" itna naaraz kyu h kabir... mai sach m itni buri hu kya... mai tera dil nhi dukhana chahti thi... mai to bus..." she said when he silenced her.
" Shhh... chup... nahi hu mai naaraz tjhse... par tu esa kyu karti h nisha... mai bus tere sath holi manana chahta tha... maine kabhi esi holi nhi mnayi nisha.. esi holi jo sab un lgo k sath mnate h jo unki family h... jinse vo behad pyaar karte h... ur mai sirf ur sirf tjhse pyaar karta hu... bhoot pyaar..." he said looking into her eyes brimming with love.
She looked at him lovingly, guilt still evident in those heavy eyes and started nuzzling his neck,spreading goosebumps all around his body,and making his already hard body tighten some more with need.kabir tried to move away.."Ye kya kar rahi hai tu nisha...?" He nearly groaned out,as her lips kissed his Adam's apple softly,her hands still curved tight round his neck. Kabir knew he had to stop this craziness before it went out of hand,and he gave in to the need coursing his bloodstream..He struggled to be free of her tight grip,but nisha moved closer to him,making her soft body completely melt against his hard one,and kabir felt all the air leave his lungs in a loud whoosh.That was before her next words hit him like a thunder..
"Pyaar kar rahi hoon tujhe..Karne de mjhe... bhot pyaar karti hu tjhse kabir..." She said softly,just before she pulled his face closer and her soft lips closed over hers. Kabir stood shocked still for a few seconds as he felt her lips moving over his,and then before he knew it,he took control. His hands curved round her waist pulling her close and hard against him,as his lips moved hungrily over hers,sucking,licking and drinking on her sweet softness.His tongue licked at her soft full lips making her moan against his mouth,and he rejoiced the thrill of pleasure that rocketed through his hardened body as she melted closer in his embrace.Her lips moved along with his and the kiss got hotter and hotter,and still they went on kissing each other..His tongue probed entry into her warm moist mouth,and as his tongue duelled with hers,an all new word of heated passion was reached by both of them just like their first time.
" karle pyaar mjhe nisha... jitna chahe utna kar... tere siwa ur koi nhi h jo mjhe is tarah poora kare... karne de mjhe tjhse pyaar... itna pyaar ki ye zindgi kam pad jae" kabir whispered in her ears huskily and closed her lips again in a wilder kiss. the kiss that reflected their love for each other. soon nisha stopped responding as bhaang had its complete effect on her making her sleep in his arm. kabir opened his eyes and looked at her smiling sleepy face when she mumbled something who made him smile wider and wider arousing a warm glow in him " m intoxicated in ur love... kabir... never want to come in my senses." he picked her up in his arms and nuzzled her nose with his, moving towards his car holding her tightly against him.this was his best holi ever.
Though they fight, tease and irritate each other like hell but there isn't a moment in their life when they don't need each other. They are two bodies one soul coloured in the most lively colour of the nature... the colour of unconditional and intoxicating love.
