Nisha was descending the stairs in a beautiful pink lehenga. She was looking stunning.
Jwala: *amazed* "Isn't she looking beautiful?"
Kabir: *in a trance* "Yes, she looks no less than an angel."
Jwalu: *shocked* "Jiju!? Aap!? Aap unnhe compliment de rahe ho!?"
Kabir: *amused* "Haan, apne biwi ko compliment nehi karu toh aur kisse karu?"
Now it was Kirti's turn to be shocked.
Kirti: "Biwi!? Jiju what's gotten into you!? Aap dono toh humesha ladte rehte ho na Tom and Jerry ki tarah? Achaanak se aise respect se baate kar rahe ho?"
Kabir: *irritated* "Arre yeh kya baat hui? Ladta hoon toh isska matlab mai usse compliment bhi nehi kar sakta? Tum log bhi na.."
Bunty: "Nehi jiju aisa nehi hai, bas sunke ajeeb laga."
Kabir let out a sigh and explained. "Haan ladte hai hum, magar kaunsi husband-wife ke beech mein ladaiya nehi hote? Aur ladaiya hote bhi hai toh yeh matlab toh nehi ki pyaar nehi hoti hai?"
Now all the cousins gasped feeling all kinds of shocked. Jwalu started stuttering nervously as she spoke. "P-p-pyaar? Aap dono ke beech mein pyaar? M-m-matlab aap nishu bro se pyaar karte ho?"
"Haan" Kabir replied nonchalantly.
Cousins and Saurav in unison: "KYA!? Yeh kab hua!?"
Kabir: *back into kpanti mood* "Pehli nazar mein." He winked and walked away.
The cousins looked at each other and gulped down their saliva when they noticed that someone was listening to their conversation the whole time. It was none other than Nisha. Her heart was running a marathon hearing those words from her hubby and she couldn't do anything but blush.
Sukku: *nervous stuttering* "Ni-ni-nishu. Tu ya-yaha? K-k-kab ayi? H-h-hum toh bas aise hi baat kar rahe the, woh.." he said no further as he was as confused as the others. Why was she smiling at them? Why had she not ran behind Kabir to beat him black and blue? Why wasn't she mad at whatever he had said?
Nisha:*trying to suppress her smile and stop blushing* "Haan toh maine kuch kaha? Mai bhi toh bas aise hi" she said trying to walk away but her cousins grabbed her and surrounded her. They stared at her with disbelief and confusion on their faces, asking for answers through their eyes.
Nisha: *confused* "Kya?"
Dolly: *shocked and confused* "Nishu,tu itna thanda kaise reacts kar sakti hai? Tune usske baate suni na?"
Saurav:"Haan nishu, mujhe toh laga aaj hi tu isska murder kar degi lekin tu toh.."
Aman: *mumbling* "Kahi yeh toofan se pehle ka shaanti toh nehi?" Everyone gulped down at her statement.
Nisha who had heard her said,"Mai kyu gussa karu? Ussne koi paraya ladki ko nehi, apne biwi ko compliment kiya hai. Iss mein toh sabko khush hona chahiye na."
Sukku: "Haan par nishu, koi aur ladka hota toh tu toh usske peeche chappal leke bhaagta phir ab kyu nehi?"
Nisha: *irritated* "Woh mera hubby hai. Mai kyu chappal leke bhaagu?"
Saurav: "Yaar nishu aise dara mat yaar. This is so not like you. Mujhe toh lagta hai ki ghar jaake tu uska keema banane wala hai."
Jwalu: *scared* "No nishu bro, jiju pe gussa mat karna. He's very sweet."
Nisha: "Uffo mai na usse kuch bolne wala hoon na hi mai uska keema banane wala hoon" she said smilingly.
All the cousins and Saurav together, "Tujhe ho kya gaya hai!? Tu itna thanda kaise react/reacts kar sakti hai?"
Nisha: *lost in Kabir's thoughts, smiling and blushing* "Pyaar" she said without realizing.
"WHAT!?" all cousins screamed in unison and broke Nisha's trance. She ran away from there feeling embarrassed and overwhelmed at her own outburst.
Suddenly someone gripped her hand and pulled her in a room. Kabir who had heard everything pinned her to the wall, keeping one hand on her bare waist while the other rested against the wall.
Nisha closed her eyes in fear but as soon as she felt the familiar touch, a small smile crept on her face as she slowly opened her eyes.
He smirked and gripped her waist tighter making her gasp. He inched closer to her ear and whispered huskily, "Aakhir pyaar ho hi gaya na mujhse? Dekha, kaha tha maine? Mera asar hi kuch aisa hai."
Nisha who felt nervous after revealing her feelings, thought of trying to deny the known fact since she was scared he might actually not love her and maybe he was just joking.
Nisha: *stuttering* "Aise kab b-bola maine? Mai toh bas sabke saamne bol diya taki kisiko hum pe koi shak na ho. Unhe lagna chahiye na ki hum khush hai" she said not meeting his eyes.
He understood her plight and felt hurt. How could she even think that he didn't love her? Yes, sure he never tried to express his feelings towards her as he was always scared of being rejected and heartbroken like the last time he had loved someone but apart from that, he showered his care and concern for her, hiding his love in them securely. He couldn't believe that she hadn't seen the love his eyes held for her. Was he really so good at hiding his feelings? He decided to find out, he would trick her into making her confess.
"Achha? Toh maine kab bola ki mai tujhse pyaar karta hoon? Shaadi ke waqt hi toh humne decide kiya tha ki hum alag alag raaste chalenge aur ek dusre ke zindagi mein interfere nehi karenge?"
Nisha's heart pinched in pain but before she could reply, Kabir continued. "Mujhpe toh vaise bhi ladkiya marti hai, you know koi bhi mera gf banne ke liye tayaar ho jayega" he mocked her, raising his eyebrows in a teasing manner.
Nisha's anger knew no bounds. She stomped his foot in anger and he yelped out in pain but he was glad his plan was working on her. She started yelling at him. "Tu samajhta kya hai khud ko, haan? Biwi ke saamne extramarital affairs ke baare mein bol raha hai!?"
She pointed her finger at him and then at herself as she continued."Tune mujhse, 'The Nisha Gangwal' se shaadi kiya hai samjhe! Kasmein khayi hai, waade diye hai! Himmat kaise hui mere hote hue doosre ladkiyo ke baare mein sochne ki?"
"Mai teri biwi hoon and i should be the ONLY woman in your life! You get that? Aaj ke baat doosri ladkiyo ki tarha dekha bhi na toh usske saath saath tera bhi keema bana dungi! Tu sirf mujhe dekhegi, mujhe compliment karegi aur sirf mujhse pyar karegi! Mai apna hubby aur apna pyar kisi ke saath share nehi karne wala and that's it!" she blurted out.
She huffed and started to walk away but he gripped her hand and pulled her back, pinning her hands to the wall. He was so close to her, his nose touching hers as his breath fanned on her slightly quivering lips. It was all from the anger and hurt she was feeling right now but mostly because of the close proximity. She shuddered, his intense gaze piercing through her.
K: "Dekha, bulwa liya na tujhse i love you?" he said in his husky voice.
She gulped down her saliva, trying to put up a steady face.
N: "Aisa ka-kab bola mai-maine?"
K: "Are abhi bola I love you" he said as he glared at her accusingly and backed his head away slightly, mentally smirking because he knew she was gonna fall for it.
N: "Nehi maine toh nehi bola" she replied, suddenly feeling confused.
K: "Kya nehi bola?" he asked innocently as if he didn't know what she was talking about.
N: "Wahi jo tune bola ki maine bola" she said with a familiar frown on her face, now feeling slightly irritated.
K: "Par tune kya nehi bola jo maine bola ki tune bola?" he acted innocent yet again.
Nisha now really got irritated and blurted out, "I LOVE YOU!!!"
He smirked as his trick worked on her. He leaned in closer to her again, almost kissing her ear and whispered,"I love you too" in his dangerously husky voice and her legs suddenly felt like jelly. He crooked his head and started placing soft, feathery kisses on the side of her face and neck, his hands now resting on her waist.
She clutched onto his shirt tightly, hiding her face in his chest, blushing furiously and trying to comprehend what was just happening. She bit her lip when Kabir grazed his teeth in her skin near her collarbone, marking her as his own. Her grip got tighter around him while suppressing the moan that threatened to escape from her lips.
Kabir finally ended his torture on her and wrapped his arms around her protectively. "How can you even think I'll do that to you? How can you deny my love for you?"
Nisha's ragged breathing finally came to a halt and she breathed out a sigh of relief. She gulped down the lump that began to form in her throat. His words made her feel extremely guilty that her eyes began brimming with tears. She hugged him tight, never wanting to let go.
"Sorry, mai dar gayi thi. Mujhe laga ki i don't deserve you. Mujhe toh laga ki tune mazaak mein aise bol diya. Maine socha tha ki mera pyaar ek tarfa hai aur uske vajah se mai tujhe, apni best friend ko khona nehi chahti thi" she croaked, her voice a mere whisper and her eyes lowered to the ground.
Kabir smiled into her hair. "Shh, ab sorry mat bol yaar, galti mera bhi hai. I never had the courage to tell you that i love you and only you. Kisne kaha ki tu mujhe deserve nehi karti? You're the most beautiful girl in the world. In fact, i don't deserve you."
He broke the hug and cupped her face. "Aur tu hi ek lauti piece hai, jo mujh jaise kawwe ko sambhal sakti hai, samjhi?"
"I know."
They both laughed at that but soon their laughter died down and they got lost in each other eyes. She felt confused and shy about what to do or say next so she tried walking away again, wriggling out of his hold.
He pulled her back and wrapped his arms around her waist securely. "Ab sorry ke jaga fees toh dena hi parega" he said teasingly in his husky voice, eyeing her lips with a lusty gaze as he started backing her up to the wall behind her. Those desires that were in his eyes, had now slowly aroused in her. She felt shivers running down her spine and blushed. She tried to free herself from his grip but he didn't budge even for a second.
"Kabir, please mujhe jaane de. Sab dhoond rahe honge hume."She pleaded in her slightly trembling voice as she kept trying to free herself from his grip but he wasn't listening. In fact, he was amused by the fact that there was a shy side of Nisha. A side that he had never seen before, at least not like this.
He was not going to let her go so easily and would make sure to get his reward. She wanted to kiss him too; yes, but she was scared. For what? Well, it would be her first kiss with her first love and she wanted it to be perfect. She feared that maybe she wouldn't be able to meet up to his expectations. He had probably kissed someone else before. She wanted to wait for the perfect moment but seeing the love and desire for her in his eyes, she lost her inner battle. He wanted her as badly as she wanted him.
But her heart was going through a turmoil. After being in "love" once before, she was scared to fall in love again even though she had already done it. But was she really ready to put her heart out on her sleeve once again? Was she really ready to take this step into a new beginning, having nothing but fear and hope in her heart?
But then again, what about love? What about her love? What about his love? Had he felt as vulnerable as she was feeling right now? Had his heart also beaten this loudly being close to her? What was he thinking? Did he have the same thoughts as her?
She looked up to meet his scrutinizing gaze and all she could see was love. Pure love and nothing else. His eyes held no fear, only love and adoration and happiness and what not. This was the moment she decided. This was the moment she knew. She was ready to fall all over again. But this time, it would be real.
Accepting her defeat, she grinned and finally wrapped her arms around his neck as he slowly leaned in, his grip around her waist getting tighter, as if he was scared that if he let go, she would disappear and all of this would just turn out to be a dream. But it didn't.
After what felt like an eternity for both of them, his soft, warm lips met her pink, plump, trembling ones and there were sparks flying all around them, peace flooding through their veins.
He kissed her softly and patiently, giving her time to adjust and once she did, she reciprocated with the same love and passion. This was their first kiss and it felt magical. It was unlike anything that they had ever dreamt of. This sudden proximity sent shivers through their spines as they continued kissing.
Their grip got tighter on each other as they deepened the kiss. She dig her nails in his back once the kiss intensified. He pushed her body to the wall and sucked on her lips harshly, slightly bruising them. She was flustered by his intensity and need for her but she chose to enjoy the moment. This was what she had longed for.
His hands went up and massaged her neck and waist while her hands were entangled in his hair. He grew impatient by each moment and chose to bite down on her lip, making her moan softly. He took the opportunity and probed his entry in her mouth.
Once again, his hands roamed her body, tracing each one of her curves, delicately yet lovingly. And before he or she had the time to register anything, her dupatta was thrown to the ground along with his suit jacket, leaving them with one less boundary between them. She shuddered and almost instantly opened her eyes as she felt his fingers playing with the strings of her blouse. One pull and she would be exposed in front of him. Exposed like she had never been before.
Her eyes closed once again as her hands tugged at his hair while he nipped on the skin of her neck, the suppressed moan finally leaving her lips. He chuckled as he brought his lips back to hers and she smiled into the kiss, her fingers already playing with the buttons of his shirt, threatening to leave him exposed in front of her. And if that happened, there was no going back.
Once the kiss got deeper, their breaths mingled and their tongues battled for dominance but sadly it didn't last for long. A knock on the door disturbed their moment. He pulled back and groaned in irritation. She giggled, blushing cherry red, replaying their previous actions in her head, over and over again.
"Nishu, Kabir tumlog yaha ho?" came Laxmi maa's voice from outside the door.
"Haan maa" Nisha replied with a shaky voice as she bent down to pick up her dupatta from the floor, still dazed by what had just happened.
"Achha bachho, jaldi neeche aa jao. Puja shuru ho rahi hai" her mother said worriedly.
"Ji maa, hum bas abhi aye" Kabir replied rather impatiently as he also picked up his suit jacket from the floor and brushed some imaginary dust off of it. He looked back towards his wifey and smirked.
"Itna khush mat ho. I'll get what I want, whenever I want. And I..want..you.. and I'll make sure to get you in any possible way" he paused between every word and looked at her intently. "I won't let you go so easily, Mrs. Nisha Kabir Kumar. And there's nothing you can do about it, wifey" he said intensely, emphasizing on the things that gave him a right over her. A right that no one else had. He winked at her when he realized how dumbfounded she looked.
She grinned at him, slightly shuddering under his piercing gaze. Her cheeks turned red again when she understood the meaning of his words. How boldly he expressed his desire for her. And how proudly he claimed his rights over her.
Hadn't they have a puja to attend right now, she would've jumped his bones. Literally. Because that's just how desperate she was. To be with him. To feel his love. To surrender her mind, body and soul to him. To be his and his and only his, until there was just the two of them left, drowning in their own love. Until all she could do was pant his name and beg him for more. Because she loved him and oh how much she wanted him. To love him equally as much as he would love her. To feel his skin against hers. To experience a whole new level of pleasure. To explore a whole new side of him. All of that and much, much more.
Her own thoughts flustered her but yet she managed to stand her ground in front of him. She would never let him know what she was thinking of them doing, in the near future. And again, she got flustered by her thoughts.
"Don't you get so happy hubby. I have my own ways. I won't come in your hands that easily. I can do whatever I want to, you know" she said seductively while running a finger down his chest and winked at him as he gaped at her. She knew it would work. He opened and closed his mouths several times, trying to form some words but failed miserably.
Giving up, he made a sad puppy face to which she poked her tongue out and ran to the door giggling. He followed her suit as she opened the door to walk out but she suddenly stopped in her tracks and turned to face him with a shy smile.
She stood on her toes and kissed his cheek lightly, leaning in to his ear she whispered an 'I love you' again 'and i already belong to you' before running away blushing. He let out a content sigh with a dreamy look on his face while keeping one hand on his heart and walking out after her.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem." The whole gang of cousins including Saurav suddenly stood in front of him, smirking and wiggling their eyebrows at him. He blushed at being teased by his wifey's name but managed to hide it very well and just smiled cheekily towards them before running away from them behind his lady love.
He couldn't wait for the night to come.
