idea of the os inspired from a scene in a story i read years back...
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"the beach is right here" said raman as he looked out of the window of his hotel room
her expression told him she had thought he had lost his mind "so..??" she asked not looking much interested in the conversation.
"lets go and walk along the beach, feel the sand between our toes... "
"are you crazy raman...?? ? i am not going..."
"oh cmon dont be such a bore and mind it i am not crazy " raman looked straight into her eyes and said
" its november, raman. its cold... no one goes to the beach in November..." she sat back on the bed and diverted her attention towards their new born...
raman went close to her and held her hands in his " listen to me. let us go for sometime and dont worry about leher...!! see she is sleeping peacefully..."
her voice rose as if protesting " are you asking me to leave my little baby in this hotel room and go out with you for.. exactly what..?? a stupid walk..."
raman was now irritated and moved towards the door.
"are you really going..?? leaving me and leher alone here... " she questioned her husband.
"i have had enough. i need some fresh air and you do whatever you wish to and just stop bothering me... " stated raman.
" so now i have to stop bothering about you..??? great..." she questioned.
"oops...!!! how stupid of me..?? you have actually stopped bothering about me long time back..." raman corrected himself with a sarcastic look on his face.
" raman where are our relationship going..?? i am losing you day by day. isnt it commendable...?? see i am very successful at it. we both came here to sort out our differences raman, not for this argument..." she said with tears forming in her eyes and a lump in her throat.
raman didnt reply to his wife and went outside banging the door loudly.
he kicked of his shoes and black socks. the sand and gravel against skin that rarely saw the bare floor much less a sandy beach. raman started to walk and then run. his heart begun to pound and his mind took flight and suddenly ishita was right beside him.
" i'll race you, rawan kumar" ishita said with a laughing smile " on your mark.. get set... oh look a shooting star..."
raman turned his head, and ishita took off like a bird in flight. she was fast on her feet, like a poetry in motion... he could have watched her run for the rest of his life and counted himself happy but the challenging look she flung over her shoulder forced him to run faster. he caught her, tackled her and they landed hard in sand. ishita's body was under him... her heartbeat against his chest... her breath came in short, rapid gasps... her brown eyes danced with excitement.
" kiss me " ishita said.
it was what he wanted to do , but a little devil inside made him tease her " good girls wait to be asked meri madrasan..."
" i'm a good girl... kiss me and see... "
" why should i..?? "
" because you are sadu, annoying, rude, proud and you are crazy about me "
he brushed her hair from her forehead and cupped her face between his hands, loving everything about her..
" i am crazy "
" for me " she said with her ever sparkling eyes.
" for you " he admitted.
he lowered his head and touched her with his mouth. she was delicious like a cold beer on a hot day, like a burst of watermelon in the middle of summer, like a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day.
the memories mixed together... the past became the present and raman fell in a breathless heap on the sand.
" why couldnt i get you out of my head ishita...?? " he shouted. " i love you ishita... i want you back.. the way you were... my carefree, happy go lucky ishita, my Jhansi ki rani... came back to me ishita..." he now said with teary eyes.
" this is not possible... ishita vishwanathan iyer is dead, mr. raman kumar bhalla... " came a voice that brought raman back to his reality.
" i am not talking to you "
" but i want to talk to you... i am your wife and the mother of your child " she said.
" i know all this mrs. ishita raman bhalla... tell me something that i am yearning to hear... " raman said softly.
" i love you raman" ishita whispered into his ears coming close to him as if hugging him.
" i love you too ishita... but i love my madrasanan more "
ishita cupped raman's face and looked straight into his eyes " your madrasan is now your wife... i have to fulfil all my duties now... i just cannot sit beside you and chat with you whole day long... i cannot keep on telling you stories or listen to yours... try to understand raman i have to concentrate on others as well - our family, our baby, and almost everything... "
" but what about me..??? " raman questioned.
" how can you think i dont care about you..?? you are my everything raman... you are the air i breathe.. i am doing all this not because i want to be a perfect daughter in law or something like that... still i am still doing it... do you have any idea why...???"
raman nodded his head in negative.
ishita continued " i do this all for you.. i want you to be proud of me. i dont want any of the family member questioning you because of my mistake... i want to prove that im the best life partner you could ever get... Or honestly I could ever get,,,, "
" why do you have to prove it... I already know it and believe it... We are perfect for each other... Period. i love you for what you are and not for what you are trying to be. how can you expect me to love this new transformed ishita...?? i just cannot.. i have been trying very hard but i just couldnt get that old ishu out of my mind.. the ishita who teased me.. the ishita who loved me without thinking of the people around.. the ishita who could read my eyes and my thoughts even before i could know them myself. but this ishita is very busy in the household chores and have no time for me. and after leher's birth, i feel as if i dont exist for you anymore... i hate this ishita... "
" shut up..!! samajhte kya ho tum khud ko... what do you think of yourself mr. rawan kumar...?? how could you think that i dont love you anymore...?? and how dare you bring my kido into all this...?? aiyyyooo... kya kaha hai meri nanhi si jaan ne tumhe, ainwai uske piche padh gae ho... now just shut up and "
raman smirked and asked " and what...?? "
ishita leaned on him and whispered " and kiss me... "
raman in a joyous mood said " i would love to... but do you really want me to kiss you HERE..?? HERE as in at the beach at 2 am in the morning... "
ishita said " yes... yes... yes.. you are now acting as if this is the first time... "
raman took the opportunity and pushed her to the sandy beach. he wanted to kiss her so badly that any thought of stopping was out of his control.
his mouth touched hers and one kiss turned into two, then three, long, never ending, mindless moments of passion between two people who were madly, truly, deeply,completely in love with each other. ishita went with the kiss, with the touch. the heat of his mouth drove the coldness and disappointment out of her heart. she wasnt alone anymore. she was with raman, her first love, the man who captured her heart and never given back.
" i love you " both said at the same time and had an eye lock...
