Chapter 14
Prakash looks shocked at Prem thinking what the hell he is doing with this unknown person. He wanted to yell at him for bringing a girl at the middle of the night. However, he looks at Charu as she gives him a look telling him to be calm with this situation. She gives him a look towards him to keep his mouth zipped.
She understood Prem ain't the type of person who will now have short term relationships and now he's a changed man. A man whiling to have a long term partner and desire her with the dreams and wishes they both want. They are now ready to take the path of love like she did; she looked at Geeta who wore a nice white plain kruta and skinny blue jeans with matching black earrings.
With a pleasant voice she calls the pair inside the flat and into her living room which was romantic with red and white paints. A huge teddy bear which, Prakash presented her when they spent quality time together along with a card brought from Clintons written 'To my beloved love.' He was smiling at the card remembering the day he gave the card to her at the river Thames.
Flashback
It was Saturday lunchtime, the skies were clear blue like the Indian Ocean, the swans and ducks were flapping their wings and making quaky noises. Small children's were running around in their summer clothes licking ice-creams, ice lollies and slurping milkshakes. Old ladies were gossiping about their previous life and were complaining about teenagers being a pain at their back side. One even complained about the government being lenient for allowing children's under 18 to go free on the buses. Single parents were playing around with the children's and doing their childish talk.
As we pass through the lovely river, Prakash is sitting down with some gifts waiting for Charu. He was sitting down for the past half an hour waiting for the clumsy woman to turn up here. He gave non-stop text messages and missed calls waiting for her to turn up. Until, he hears a voice which, he recognised. The person was singing to Mudhal Nani from Unnai Unnai and he was daydreaming into space and twinkle stars.
Then, a hand covered his eyes and was whispering, "Hello Jaan! You loved my voice?"
He touched her hands and felt that sharp blade fingernails and took her hand and hugged her tightly like a lemon. "Dear, I never knew your voice was so bad like a smoke. If you hear my voice the whole world will be clapping at me. As I can sing like a professional singer." Laughed Prakash
"Prakash!!!!" screams Charu and punches him on his back, "Who! The people will clap at you. Well, whatever loser. The last time I heard you singing is when you were in the bathroom trying to impress yourself."
"Well, can you this aunty cannot stand your singing." Laughs Prakash
"Her voice is gorgeous like the birds were singing in valentines day." Said the aunty
"Look! Look! See even liked my voice. You are so jealous of my voice." Shouts Charu and continues singing.
"Listen babes! Your voice is beautiful. I was kidding. I love winding you up since, you always react like a gas particle." Laughs Prakash, "Anyways, to the serious point!!! Why are you late? I have been waiting for half and hour." He moans
"Well, I was busy trying to impress myself so I can shine the road in style." Smiles Charu who was wearing a nice brown dress.
"Impress yourself! That's a bit too much." Mutters Prakash.
"What!" exclaims Charu
"Nothing honey!" smiles Prakash, "I have got something for you?"
"Is it!" giggles Charu, "common give me the presents I love them."
"Close your eyes and cover them with your hands." Orders Prakash and he slowly bring up the chocolate brown cuddly bear and smudge it onto her face. That smudge was like a grass moving towards the west of heaven.
"What are you doing?" questions Charu
"Now open you eyes!" smiles Prakash
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! It's a smooch cuddly teddy bear! How sweet!" screams Charu and hugs him tightly until they were able to breathe and passionately kissed for minutes. He grabbed her rose which was placed on her long, silky, wavy black hair.
Back to the present day, Charu throws a bucket of cold water at his face and questions, "Hello dear! We have a problem to solve. Now it's not the time to day dream about the past."
