Chapter 43

"Loves one leap has finished the tale complete,
Of the heavens and earth, I once thought boundless."

Ashutosh gazed Nidhi transfixed for a long time...straightening her locks...he smiles, takes a deep breath and pecks her forehead. She was sleeping next to him...when he was answering an important call...he tucked her under a blanket quickly when he realised after lying on the bed..she fell into a deep sleep. He rests his head, next to her and watches her unblinkingly. He was at peace...experiencing the tranquility after ages...his endless wait had departed the moment he saw her first time...now the fear of losing her is also gone...there couldn't be any heavenly bliss as he was experiencing past few days...he closes his eyes in silent prayer asking almighty for Nidhi's company till his last breath and in world hereafter and for ages to come. He mumbles, "Amen!" and his phone rings again...he quickly picks his phone and presses mute so that Nidhi's sleep is not disturbed and tries to come out of the bed but Nidhi creeps her arm around him...resting her head on his chest she murmurs, "why didn't you answer your call?"

"Didn't want to disturb you" and with that he answers his call.

After a few minutes he ends his call and grabs Nidhi by her arms and pulls her up...making her lie on him...Nidhi hides her face in the crook of his neck and mutters, "let me sleep"

He chuckles, "But you are awake"

Burrowing more she answers "That's the price you pay for...sleeping next to... great in demand neurosurgeon"

He chuckles again and wraps his arms around her...allowing her to sleep. After a while Nidhi calls him, "Ashutosh!"

"Jaan"

"Please pull the blanket...I feel cold"

"You feel cold...but it's quite warm here" he pulls blanket using his toes and holds her snugly. He turns to his left...making her lie next to him...snugly...plastered to him...straightening her curls he asks, "Feeling better"

"No!"

"What happened? Hope you haven't caught cold or all because of ailment"

"Hmn...Don't worry...I'll be fine"

"Why should I worry? Good for me"

"What?" She bites at his crook and he chuckles. He turns, pins her down and asks, "What was that?"

"What?"

He burrows his head in the crook of her neck and starts tickling her...Nidhi giggles and pleads... "Sorry...I'm sorry" he goes on and her giggles resound the whole room...unable to bear...she finally pleas...repeating many times, "Ashutosh please!" and finally he stops...and gazes her lovingly for sometime...she tries to push him up and he raises his eyebrows in response to her failure.

"You think you can lift me"

"Leave me"

He raises his eyebrow in his typical style and lowers his head back. Nidhi flinches but was surprised receiving caresses all around her neck. Her eyes darken and his was gleaming with desire... when he raises his head to look at her again. Ashutosh stretches out his arm to put off the lights but she stops him, "No! We are going to have dinner in restaurant... you forgot?"

Trailing her collar bone and neck with pecks...he responds "I don't want to have dinner...hmn...nibbling her lower lip...let me relish my favourite food"

"I feel hungry" He takes a deep breath looking at her...lowers his head and takes her lips to which she responds as voraciously as he was tasting her.

Releasing her lips...he pulls her up and makes her to move. "Get up! Let us have our dinner quickly"

Nidhi comes out of bed saying, "Quickly? Why quickly? You'll enjoy dinner in garden restaurant"

Seeing smirk on her face...he tries to catch her but she flees...Ashutosh follows and grabs her in his arms "I'm ordering dinner here!"

"No please! Let us go to restaurant...I promise we'll come back quickly"...he smiles and releases her. They quickly get ready for dinner and move to the restaurant...the Chinar garden restaurant of the hotel...offering north Indian cuisine.

Ashutosh orders dinner and Nidhi suppresses her smile when he adds, "Please be quick". She enjoys the music and he feasts his eyes on her. When dinner arrives...Nidhi takes all the time to relish the food and Ashutosh was feeling irritated...he realises she was doing that deliberately. She fed him intermittently and he taking the spoonful she offered mutters, "Nidhi! Tonight I've learned a lesson"

She frowns and gives him a questioning look and he continues, "One should have once favourite food slowly and relishing"

Nidhi shrugs her shoulders and chews the bite she had while listening to him...gulping her food, when understanding dawns on her...she looks at him in stun...and he turns his gaze away, holding his tongue in cheek.

She huffs, "Okay! I'm done" and drops her spoon.

He looking intensely at her...takes her spoon and offers her a spoonful...she turns her head...but he continues holding the spoon in same position and waits for her wordlessly to turn her head...after sometime she turns and takes the food...he feeds her a few more spoons when finally she speaks, "I'm full"

"Are you sure?" she nods and he adds in a smirk, "I hope you understand...you not having your food properly...won't stop me from relishing mine"

She pouts... gets up and he follows her.

Nidhi extricates herself from his arms and quickly wears his tee that covers her up to her knees...her eyes move back to her husband who was sleeping soundly and watches him mesmerizingly...she smiles...sits on the bedside recollecting how he turned naughty and teased her last night...she pouts at the thought but then remembering how she deliberately ate her food slowly to irritate him...she grins. Ashutosh feeling his arms empty turns a bit and stretches his arm to find her...she smiles lovingly at him the way he was searching for her in his sleep. His hand touches her finger and he grabs her hand and pulls her to him. Nidhi protests "Leave me"

He had his eyes closed...snuggling to her he mumbles, "Sleep quietly"

"Huh...why should I? How many times I pleaded...let me sleep...now my turn"

He smiles eyes still closed...nuzzling her neck and peeping his hand inside the Tee she was wearing, "You're most welcome...you think I can say no...no...never."

She jolts feeling the touch of his hand...pushing him away...she quickly slips out of the bed...but he was quick to catch her...grinning at her...he pulls her and she thuds at his chest, "Where are you going? You have woken me up...now make up for my lost sleep"

"And...What about mine? Do you pay heed to my pleas?"

Nuzzling her neck "Do I complain...I'm all yours"

Trying to open his arms, "I don't want you"

In a husky voice, "Really?" she answers, "Hmn"

"Okay, fine...I want my shirt back"

Nidhi turns her head to look at him...looking into her eyes, in a smirk he grabs the end of her tee shirt and gives a soft pull...she gasps...turns and hugs him tightly...he chuckles...leaning backwards...he lies back at bed with her, "So Dr. Nidhi! You are returning my tee shirt now"

He turns and pins her under him and gives her a questioning look.

"This is mine equally...you forgot no yours and mine...if you wish you can wear my saree...shrugging her shoulders...I won't mind"

Ashutosh holding his tongue in cheek...gives her an irate look and she giggles. Feeling irritated he takes her lips...her toes curl and she forgets her giggle. Releasing her lips he looks at her...both exchange a fond glance...seeing her eyes brimming with love...he pecks her swollen lips...she pecks at his cheek and he burrows his head in the crook of her neck...she ruffles his hair softly and speaks, "Get up now...we'll get late"

He twirls and lying next to her...his head resting on pillow...he responds a bit seriously, "Nidhi I want to say something"

She frowns...resting his head on his bare chest she mumbles, "hmn"

"We are here only for three days...I'm sorry we'll have to go back"

Nidhi snuggles to him, "hmn...I know and why sorry? Your research is more important"

Ashutosh stuns hearing her words, "hey you know"

"hmn...you thought I was asleep when you're talking to Dr. Anand"

He pecks at her head and squeezes her in his arms, "I'm sorry but we'll come again...I promise"

"Leave me...now that you have disowned me...I don't want to come here again"

"Have you gone mad Nidhi...what are you saying?"

"What else does your sorry say?"

He takes a deep breath and responds, "Please forgive me...I shouldn't have said that...a pause...please!"

She raises her head to look at him and he narrows his eyes. She gives a soft look and turns to move but he grabs her hand and asks, "hey please, she turns her head...can I borrow your tee please"

She glares at him. He smiles looking fondly at her...and repeats, "please!" giving a soft tug to her shirt. Her eyes pop out...she gulps and slowly moves towards him...Ashutosh expected her to come in his arms...he was waiting for her to grab him...she places her hands on his chest and pushes him and giggling...swiftly moves towards restroom. Ashutosh looks at her holding his tongue in cheek...and chuckling throws him self on the pillow... when she closes the restroom door.

Ashutosh helps Nidhi to get off the Gypsy on reaching Gulmarg after travelling 52 kms to the South west of Srinagar through the roads bordered by rigid avenues of poplar giving over to flat expanses of rice fields interspersed with picturesque villages. They had to travel in Gypsy from Tangmarg, as from there the climb to Gulmarg situated at an altitude of 2730 metres begins through fir-covered hillsides. Nidhi closed her eyes when Gypsy drove on frozen snow-clad roads along hillsides. First Ashutosh suppressed his smile but later seeing how the vehicles crawled to climb the hill he grasped her in his arms. They stopped at a point known as view point for few minutes to look out at spectacle of snow-covered mountains, almost within touching distance.

Nidhi loved to walk on snow...the clock was nearing 12 when they reach near the hotel situated on hill top presenting the view of Apharwat peak of Himalaya. Driver takes their bags and asks, "Sir would you like to freshen up first or you would like to take a look around"

Nidhi quite excitedly answers, "No we would like to go for a Gondola ride"

Driver smiles, "Ma'm I'd advise you to look around, freshen up, have lunch and then go for Gondola ride...if you want to ride both phases that means up above 15000fts...you'll be back by evening"

Ashutosh quickly answers, "No we'll go there after lunch"

Driver smiles and leaves. Nidhi steals the chance to hide handful of snow behind her and rubs at Ashutosh's face the moment driver turns his back towards them. Ashutosh screams, "What is this Nidhi?" She giggles and flees and he follows to catch her. Taking snow in his hands...aiming and throwing at her...he was prompt to reach her...but she turns defensive quickly and attacked him with quickly made snowballs...one after another and soon the snowball fight begins. Ashutosh quickly moves near a heap, and impromptu attacks her with big snow balls...as his big hands were capable to grab more and Nidhi feels defenceless...she raises her hands to defend herself from his attack and he was having all the fun...finally he stops when she pleads...saying Stop Ashutosh! I'm...I'm feeling cold"

He quickly moves to her and helps her to shed the snow on her jacket and asks, "Are you okay?"

She nods her head. And he gives her a warm cosy space in his arms.

After freshening up and having lunch they move to take the Gondola ride. They wear the snow boots provided by hotel. Nidhi was all excited, "We can go for Skiing"

"Yes why not Ma'm? You having the expertise in skiing"

Nidhi Stomps her foot, "What has expertise got to do with Skiing...even amateurs can do that... skiing doesn't need specialised surgeons"

Ashutosh chuckles, "I hope you know...these are the highest slopes...if one loses balance...one only falls from 15000 fts"

"Wow! What a fall that would be...falling from the highest peak...and getting lost in those depths"

Ashutosh whimpers glaring at her, "Nidhi!"

Nidhi looks at him and he turns his eyes away...releasing her hand he was holding...he walks ahead...and Nidhi's pace slows the moment she heard him whimper and realised she hurt him uttering those words. She tries to quicken her pace but with long snow boots she couldn't. Nidhi calls him, "Wait I can't meet your pace, please"

He stops and waits for her...without turning his head. She holds his hand again and mumbles, "Sorry!" he didn't react...nor he turned his head to look at her...and continued his walk...till he reached the boarding station for the cable car. He purchased tickets for both phases. Nidhi exclaims seeing foreign tourists all equipped...wearing windproof jackets, goggles, snow boots and carrying snow sticks..."It seems we are in foreign country...so many foreign tourists...it's truly a skiing resort"

Ashutosh suppresses his smile seeing her looking at them with all enthusiasm. He maintains his annoyed look and pulled her to queue up as the staff there helped them to get into the cabin. With them two foreign tourists also board the cabin with their skis and Nidhi finds chance to ask the lady.

"You do skiing here"

The lady answers, "Yes...I come here every year...love to ski here"

"You are from?"

"Switzerland"

Ashutosh who was silent... exclaims, "What?"

The lady smiles, "I guess you are surprised...but let me tell you...this place is the skis heaven...the slopes here are truly awesome...you can't find anywhere" She exclaims, "the summit of Apharwat, making it the world's highest ski lift. There are two higher lifts in China but neither is in ski resort, while higher lifts in Venezuela and Bolivia have shut down."

Ashutosh nods his head and turns to look at the view outside...the lift was climbing the snow clad mountains...presenting the breath taking view...seemed whole earth was dressed in white. Nidhi slips her arm in Ashutosh's and gets mesmerised looking at the sight...she exclaims, "Look at skier...how fast he is moving...Wow!"

Ashutosh shakes his head and answers, "you too can ski...like that"

"No I can't...pouting...but I want to"

Ashutosh chuckles and turns to look outside...watching the skier climbing down those hills was truly amazing...one could really get lost in those woods. Lift reaches the 1^st phase-the Kangdoori station but they continued their ride. Nidhi looks at him and he responds, "We are going to Apharwat peak first" and turns his gaze away.

Nidhi mumbles, "I'm sorry...please" when he didn't turn...she huffs, "Heartstone"

He suppresses his chuckle...After sometime he hears Nidhi exclaim, "Look at those houses...they are completely sunk in snow...only roofs are visible" he gives a look without any response.

Nidhi all the way had been clicking pictures...she takes the help of tourist and takes pictures with snow clad mountains in background. Nearing the summit...the look below was turning hazy...though it was a sunny day...she felt like going piercing through the clouds...she smiles...realising she actually was at the the height of 15000ft. What she didn't notice was Ashutosh was watching her mesmerizingly.

Disembarking at the top station made largely from corrugated iron they come out to see for the first time, fabulous Himalayan panorama. Above the haze that hangs in the valley, they spin around to take in the chain of peaks that stretches around the horizon, from Pakistan into India and north to China, with Nanga Parbat, the world's ninth-highest peak, dominating the view.

Ashutosh and Nidhi seemed lost feasting their eyes on the mesmerising views around...they actually felt on top...just one leap to sky...and wherever eye goes...they only saw snow...they felt transformed to another world...the world made of white...after a while Nidhi exclaims, "Heaven!" she stretches her arms out walking on the summit.. "You feel like flying...how I wish I had wings"

Ashutosh catches her arm and holds her hand. She smiles knowing why he grabbed her hand. Nidhi winks at him and he holds her in a side-hug and together they stroll the walking area on the summit... whenever she travelled near the rope, marking the boundary for strolling area...to have a look below...Ashutosh caught her hand tightly and she allowed him...knowing what his gripping hold on her meant...Nidhi's eyes catch a huge rock having heap of snow on its top. "I want to climb up"

Ashutosh alarmed turns to look where she was pointing at their back, "Nidhi!"

"What? Stop treating me like a kid...I can go there"

"But why?"

Sheepishly " I want to taste the snow"

Ashutosh gives her a resigned look, "What is so special about the snow on that rock, Nidhi?"

"The snow there is fresh...no one has treaded there"

"We can fetch the snow beyond this boundary...no one has treaded there as well...and snow is fresh"

"No! I've to taste the snow there"

"Don't you think? You are behaving like a kid since morning"

"Who makes me one? he raises his eyebrow hearing her repeating the words he uses...Stop treating me like a kid...I can go there"

Ashutosh glares at her and moves towards the rock...Nidhi gets excited and follows him, "You can't climb there"

Ashutosh responds irritatingly, "And why do you think so?"

Nidhi suppresses her giggle and enjoys Ashutosh's plight...he surveyed the rock and finding the way to climb the rock...he climbs and sits on its top...raising his eyebrows he gives Nidhi a questioning look. She stomps her foot and her foot gets trapped in snow. Ashutosh chuckles and invites her, "Come on Dr. Nidhi...You can climb now"

"I don't need your help"

He chuckles again. She treads on the step he took to climb and he offers his hand. She rejects, "I can climb on my own"

He narrows his eyes pleadingly and she melts...grabs his hand, he pulls her up and she lands in his lap. Ashutosh holds her tightly in his arms. She takes the handful of snow and eats. Ashutosh chides her, "Nidhi you'll fall ill"

Eating snow she answers, "Hmn...I won't... you don't know my husband is a doctor"

"But he can't treat kids"

She mock punches him and he chuckles...and watches her tasting snow...excitedly like a kid. He takes a deep breath and she gives him a questioning look. "How many adventures I have to undertake like this"

"Now we have to ski...I enquired from hotel...at Kongdoori the beginners can ski"

He holds her head and pecks her hard at her cheek and she chides him...looks around stunningly... and he gives a satisfying grin.

On their way back they were the only two to embark cabin from one side and on other side of the cabin three tourists boarded the cabin...two were Indians and they had their back facing them. Ashutosh wound his arm around Nidhi who was busy watching outside view. He almost snuggled to her...she gets alarmed and chides him gesturing towards the other side. He gives her a sulking sidelong look and tightens his arm around her. Nidhi smiles and pecks his cheek and he returns the peck at her lips. Giving him a wide-eyed glance she forces herself out of his arms and turns to sit on opposite seat. Ashutosh looks intently at her and grinning she turns to look outside. After a while she notices Ashutosh taking her pictures capturing her with beautiful, changing backgrounds of snow clad mountains and clouds. She gets excited and the fifteen minute ride to kangdoori passes clicking pictures and enjoying picturesque views and Ashutosh stealing moments to kiss her tempting, pink, icy cold cheeks...Nidhi totally oblivious what effect they were having on him.

Kongdoori a bowl shaped area between Gulmarg and the summit on the Affarwat offers some stunning options for off-piste skiers and boarders alike. Nidhi loves to be at Kongdoori...Ashutosh forces her to have a hot cup of coffee at Kongdori restaurant...as he was worried for her after her snow tasting adventure.

After having coffee Ashutosh and Nidhi walk hand in hand around the whole area...the cold breeze from the woods was freezing. Nidhi kept her both hands in his armpit holding his arm. Ashutosh's eyes catch a nursery slope where amateurs were enjoying skiing...he turned to look at Nidhi...she was watching faraway picturesque sight...he turned towards that area and kept her engrossed by talking about the picturesque views...her child like antics while talking about the sights and capturing the views amazed and mesmerised him.

When they reach the place the instructor there uttered..."Sir! would you like to ski?"...his words invite Nidhi's attention who was lost in the beauty around...walking mindlessly holding Ashutosh's arm. She jumps in joy and exclaims, "Skiing?" She was about to hug Ashutosh but withdraws when she realises how the trainer was staring at them. Ashutosh chuckles and murmurs, "you can't do that...I want my hug" she gives him wide-eyed look and he whispers, "later"

Mock punching his arm...she moves to wear the skis...ready to glide she asks, "why you are not wearing?"

"I would like to learn first...let me watch the expert ski"

She pouts and he rebuts in a whisper, "Don't do this! you know what I like to do?"

She takes the snow and throws at him.

The instructor was smiling at them. Ashutosh turns to him, "Sir! Please carefully"

Instructor: "Don't worry sir...I train everyone here...there's an instructor assigned to each one...and I'll stay with her till she takes the boots off"

Ashutosh nods and Nidhi begins skiing after instructor teaches her few basic steps. Ashutosh followed her closely...every time she lost her balance he was ready to catch her...slowly she gained confidence and made a few rounds independently...but seeing Ashutosh running behind her...she decided to take off her boots. Ashutosh sensed she did all because of him and decided to put on the boots. Nidhi jumped in joy, "Are you going to ski?"

He gives her a look holding his tongue in cheek and wears his ski boots. The instructor asks, "Sir I'll repeat again"

"No thanks...it's okay"

He looks at Nidhi...stabs his sticks at the snow and descents...Nidhi's eyes pop out...she ran after him and watched him swirling on a slope. Her palms on her agape-mouth...she was watching him in awe...taking swift turns he comes back to her and revolves around her...she twirls along...the shining gleam in her eyes...glowed his heart...he leans forward and smacks a kiss near her...she was too oblivious to know due to the surprise he gave her and he was enjoying her rapt state.

Nidhi couldn't stop herself...she leaped to him the moment he stopped and looked at her. Ashutosh was smiling...his face presenting pure rapture...hearing her screaming, "you are an athlete...why didn't you tell me...you know how to ski...love you"

Nidhi was off her feet and after a few minutes she grounded herself and looked sheepishly around...shyly she lowered her eyes when she watched how the instructor was grinning and coming towards them...Ashutosh chuckled and held her in side hug. The instructor exclaimed, "Wow sir! you shoot so well"

Ashutosh answers, "Thank you! Can I have ski's for my wife...I want her to glide with me"

Instructor smiles, "Sure Sir!"

Nidhi protests, "How can I?"

Ashutosh winks at her...and waits till the instructor helps her to wear the boots...and equips her fully...Ashutosh thanks him and he moves to attend another skier...Nidhi smiles at him suppressing her excitement. Ashutosh chuckles, he teaches her how to stop the skis and asks her to hold his hand. Apprehensively she asks, "Are you sure? I can do this"

"Don't you trust your husband?"

She grabs his hand and waits for him to begin...Ashutosh gives her fond glance and reiterates "stop the skis...whenever you feel like...we'll do just a small round here first"

She nods and he begins...after gliding a bit...she was left a tad behind...she loses her balance...leaves his hand and couldn't stop her ski's...but Ashutosh being a player turns swiftly and holds her in his arms...their eyes lock...after a while they straighten and she pouts, "I told you...I can't match your speed"

"My speed...you are not matching yours...you're doing so good just a while ago...come on...show me how to stop the skis"

In a few tries...she learns how to stop the skis and they start again...when she did first round without faltering her excitement and confidence grew and she didn't allow Ashutosh to stop. They swirled around the nursery slope many times and both had a fun time. Ashutosh was happy giving her the joy she was so excited about and Nidhi knowing her husband's other facet was in groove. After skiing they enjoyed ride on snow scooter. There was still lot more to explore and Nidhi was excited to try other snow sports...unaware that the day was nearing end when they hear the call from authorities to return...as it was time for cable car to close...they felt disappointed. Ashutosh takes Nidhi in a side hug saying, "I promise...we'll come back...and stay here for many days"

She quickly smiles and answers, "It's okay...we are staying here for night...there is lot more to explore in plains"

By the time they reach hotel and freshen up...there was complete dusk...temperature was dipping down...going out was not possible...Nidhi was wishing to explore the area around but Ashutosh didn't agree...but he had to settle for making a snow man in hotel lawns...first Ashutosh found the idea weird...he felt awkwardness...but after seeing the dedication, perseverance and the precision with which she crafted a woman in a dancing posture...using red chillies, coal, glass pieces, he was spellbound. The way she kept hotel staff on toes asking for one thing or the other...he thought to thank staff for their support but was amazed when he heard Manager say, "Ma'm thank you so much...for this beautiful piece of art...you have an uncanny magic in your hands"

Ashutosh was all grinning watching his wife mesmerizingly.
