Krishna came down the stairs , wearing the white kurta she had taken out for him... he was still pissed off ... he had never thought that he will be having a cold shower right after his marriage night! Sajjan n chandu fought not to smile as he grunted good morning' to them as he sat down for the breakfast ... His mood changed a bit as he saw her walk towards him , a bowl of his fav gheer in her hands ... his face brightened as she shyly sat down next to him , serving him roti n daal ...he ate half the kheer in his bowl n pushed the bowl gently towards her...everybody pretended they have gone temporarily blind as pratigya fumbled with the bowl , blushing... after the breakfast , sajjan asked Krishna to stay back for some minutes in the hall , as there was a big real estate project starting in Mumbai ... Krishna obliged , watching her eat the rest of kheer from his bowl , out of the corner of his eyes , his heart doing silly flip flops ... iqbal passed him the file n Krishna took a quick look , while sajjan said...' they will start the work in 5 days n I think u should be there , atleast a couple of days to monitor n' ... Krishna cut him across , throwing the file back to iqbal n relaxing back ...'no! ... Vikram is there na, or send chandu ... iqbal, arrange for my jet to be brought back here ... me n my wife will be leaving for our honeymoon shortly ...' ...iqbal nodded ... sajjan sighed , exasperated 'honeymoon? ... baba! But '... he sighed again as Krishna raised an eyebrow ...'alright , n u will be back in?' ... 'one month , at the very least ...' Krishna said casually n all gasped ... Sajjan shook his head at chandu , who said ...'what ? one month , Krishna? ... there is so much going on n most of them need ur signature to proceed , umpteen video conferences scheduled, not to mention 3 or so international diamond deals on top of it n u r vanishing for what? 1 month?'...
Krishna gritted his teeth , his jaw pulsing , his eyes blazing ... Chandu had a point! ... But he so ...so want to be alone with her! One month is not enough! Yet he had taken pains to minimize the period to 1 month after taking into consideration the work n the deals... '2 weeks , final!!!' he stood up , running a frustrated hand through his hair as he walked to the stairs ... sajjan n chandu n iqbal sighed , grinning ... 'oh no ! but u can't start now Krishna! ... there was a call from south africa ! ... Mr. Mortaza wants a meeting with u , Krishna ... n he was offering 150% more for our special diamonds n I said u will be there by tmw morning ...!' gayatri came to the hall , her face tensed ... Krishna turned sharply , along his way up the stairs ...'who the hell told u to say where I will be at a given time!!!! ... don't u even have ...' He began heatedly but sajjan cut across him baba , don't talk like that to didi ...' ...gayatri smiled at him , waving a hand ...'oh no , sajjan ...he is our krishna ... N he is right , I should have asked him before committing to the meeting ... I am so sorry beta, such a fool I am ... I just thought it was a very good offer n so ...' she trailed off , her face guilty ... Krishna clicked his tongue in frustration ... then he blinked ... Oh! He just have to tweak his plan a bit! ...' alright! ... iqbal , get my jet ready ... I am taking pratigya too with me to SA' ...
'yes, sir!' iqbal grinned , n krishna climbed up the steps , a new spring in his gait ... Sajjan n chandu smiled at his form in fondness as gayatri eyes him in loathing n tension ... oh no! they must not be together! ... this SA trip of Krishna was a blessing in disguise ... in those 2 days she could do whatever it takes to kill that girl ! the girl must not go with him! What to do ?... 'hey Krishna ? no need to climb all the way up to ur room...bhabhi won't be coming soon ... she is going to the mandir!' chandu shouted , fighting not to laugh ... Krishna turned sharply at the landing n sure enough , pratigya was being escorted by his mother towards the exit... her body language told him clearly that she heard what chandu said n she is now aware o his eyes on her ... 'so why don't u come down to the garden with us n properly discuss the Mumbai project?' chandu shouted again , his voice innocent ... Krishna glared at him 'oh yeah , chandu ...lets discuss in detail' he gritted out , climbing down the stairs ... chandu hastened to walk out , taking the files from iqbal... sajjan smiled fondly n gayatri too smiled , gritting her teeth ... ...oh! she must do something! ... Yes! ... that will do for now! She smiled evilly as a plan formed in her mind...
***************************************
Pratigya prayed , her eyes closed in bliss ... never ever had she felt so peaceful ... n joyful... oh! She felt like dancing ... n may be dance she should , once she gets home ... in front of him! For him! For her! ...for the kind of happiness filling her ! ...she remembered the time when she had danced into his arms when the first time they met in her room of mirrors ... n the time she had danced like there is no one else in the world except him , in that room during holi...sumitra n renuka watched in happiness as pratigya's opened her eyes , a silly smile in her lips ... panditji invited them to sit down for a simple n small pooja n they did so , with pratigya fighting her heart to concentrate on the pooja n also praying it to end soon so that she could be in the most beautiful place she will ever be , in his arms ... 'oh! Thank god I was not late!' gayatri gushed , coming n sitting down next to pratigya ... sumitra looked up , dislike in her eyes but pursed her lips ... she don't want even the shadow of gayatri on her son's bride ... the pooja continued while gayatri slowly n purposefully started pulling pratigya's pallu towards the adjacent lamp, while pretending to concentrate on the pooja ... pratigya , her eyes closed n oblivious to the world as all she could see was his eyes , all her heart wishing was for his well being n long life , didn't even had a clue what's happening to her pallu ... until the fire spread ... it was pandit who spotted it as he shouted... 'oh no! choti thakurain ! ...fire ...' ... all stood up in trepidation with pratigya squeaking , involuntarily putting her hair to the front n pulling at her pallu ... while renuaka n sumitra jumped up , frantic , even as gayatri tried to pour water kept in a pot nearby for the purpose of pooja ... 'malkin...here ...' the servants n drivers who accompanied them ran up the hall , unscrewing the fresh water bottles which they carried for the journey ...pratigya instantly laid face down , keeping the pallu away from her body , logic telling her that the fire will spread more if she remained standing due to wind n if she lay down , it will be easy to put it out by pouring water directly over it... gayatri watched in horrific resentment as the fire was put out in a matter of secs , sumitra n renuka hugging a heavily breathing pratigya to their bosoms ...
The fire didn't even touch even a hair of that s**t! Gayatri fumed , even she fussed over pratigya 'oh! ... u r absolutely safe ... Thank GOD! ... Krishna would have skinned us alive if u had even got a minute scratch...' ... pratigya hugged herself , closing her eyes n sighing against renuka's shoulder , her heart screaming to be in his arms...but no! ... no need to tell him! He will go berserk! ... yeah , but he will be taking extra care of u, n u would absolutely love to be pampered by him ! she heard her heart anticipate eagerly... .. ... 'U r safe beti' ... sumitra ran a loving hand along her hair ... pratigya nodded , trying to ease renuka , who was sobbing ...'don't cry ma... See I am perfectly alright! ... come lets complete the pooja ... he will be ... Ahem .. I mean all will be waiting ..' she said ... Gayatri , who was trying hard to think what to do next , jumped quickly with a plan ... 'no ! ... this pooja is spoiled now ...its apshagun...n its past noon! ...we could come tomorrow ... n re do all the rituals ... right renukaji?' ... renuka nodded , wiping her tears n sumitra too nodded , feeling relaxed now that nothing bad had happened n worried about the words of their family pandit who had died earlier ... She must talk to chandu n recheck the kundalis of Krishna n pratigya ...soon... gayatri smiled evilly as she climbed down the steps behind pratigya ... superb! Now Krishna can't take pratigya with him to SA this evening ... n by the time he returns, his fav toy will be broken...
*******************************
Gayatri hastened to push pratigya towards the steps as soon as the car stopped at the porch ... 'no need to alert Krishna or anybody here about the fire' she said, hiding pratigya's burnt pallu with her form as she held pratigya while they climbed the stairs ...' but didi, they will all ask why we r going to mandir again tmw' ... sumitra said , confused ... 'I will handle it ... here , renukaji, take ur daughter to her room ...' ...sumitra looked at gayatri n confusion n tension ... she knows that ma sahib hates her n Krishna to the core ... N she will die rather see Krishna happily married ... but then why is she all nice with pratigya? ... May be bec she knows that Krishna won't let anyone even think of wishing any wrong to his pratigya ... or didi has some plan cooking up her sleeve? ... She must be wary of ma sahib , sumitra thought even as she watched renuka n pratigya climbing up the stairs ...
************************
Renuka sniffed , kissing pratigya on her forehead ...'oh , so glad nothing bad happened beti... I almost died thinking that my misfortune would destroy u too...' ...'oh no ma, don't talk like that! What misfortune? ... look, u wanted ur daughter to be happy! I am happy!...n don't think too much into apshangun-wapshangun ...we r going to do the pooja tmw...'... pratigya cupped her mother's face , smiling at her ... Renuka nodded , dabbing her eyes ... 'I must leave ... daamadji will be coming for u in any moment ...' she said , half smiling n pratigya couldn't help but blush ...renuka put a kala tika over the underside of her right jaw, smiling in happiness... pratigya watched renuka leave , smiling ... then she blinked ! oh! ...she must change ... before he come n finds out ... she ran to the bathroom , grabbing a beautiful red saree , a deep flush in her cheeks even as she was tensed , imagining herself laying across his chest as they watched their interview together ...
***************************
'what do u mean the sacred thread broke from her hands?' Krishna snapped , sitting up straight ... he , chandu n sajjan where at the garden , discussing their Mumbai project ... sajjan n chandu looked confused too as ma sahib sat down , tensed ...'yeah , Krishna ...during the pooja ... ofcourse she was careful ... But ...well , the panditji had told us to re do the rituals tmw ...' ... 'NO WAY !...him n his rituals can go to hell!...she is coming with me to SA in the evening flight! ... ' Krishna gritted out , his jaw set ... 'krishna!' sajjan called exasperatedly ... 'sorry krishna , but ofcourse u could take her anywhere as u wish ... but we must also take her mother renukaji into consideration ... she is already worried that its an upshagun ...ofcourse I know that u don't believe in such stupidity but ...we must respect renukaji's thoughts also ...' gayatri said, tensed... krishna stood up , fisting his palms ... 'nothing doing! ...chandu ! get iqbal on line n tell him to get my jet ready 2 hours prior to the schedule ! ...I am leaving with her from ur stupid poojas n apshaguns n ...' ... sajjan sighed , cutting across him , smiling pleasantly n putting a fatherly palm of his shoulder ...'baba! , pratigya is the bahu of this house n she must stay back ...its our tradition ... its just 2 days Krishna! U will be back day after tmw, morning... then no will keep ur bride away from u...' ... krishna's jaw worked furiously ... no! ...he will die! ... 2 nights n one day! ! without seeing her! Without having her in his arms when he closes his eyes n opens them! ... Without breathing in his life air , which is her scent ! ... Without being home , which is inside her! Deep ... Forever deep ...inside her! ... Without seeing himself in her eyes , without seeing her smile ... without having her to care for him , take care of his silliest needs ! ...without listening to her heartbeat n realizing that he is still alive that he lives in her sweet heart!... no! he will die! Period! ... He pushed off the tea table n blasted out of the garden ... chandu n sajjan looked at each other , worried ... gayatri smiled evilly ...
*********************************
Pratigya turned like a corkscrew infront of the mirror , checking n double checking her reflection ... she had never worn a transparent draped saree
... she had left her neck bare except for her mangalsutra n she bit her lip , seeing that he could clearly see what he had done to her neck last night ... she would have turned her face in disgust had anybody tried to say that such things like marking one's mate existed in the world , a few weeks ago ... But now! ... Everything was so natural ...so erotic n yet to divine ...n its not just her neck that he was so interested in , she giggled coyly , a tremor running up her spine as she remembered the feel of his teeth nipping the underside of her right thigh, just near to her ...her...what pratigya? U have become so shameless! What r u thinking?...;uff' she fisted her hands along her sides , panting softly ... why? What's wrong ? she is just being a woman! Stop complaining! She heard her heart protest ... so where were we? Oh yeah ... her eyes teased her from the reflection ... may be u should give it back to him , a bit ... may be u should give him a love bite over his neck ! ... Oh! She turned scarlet at the thought ... ...oh ! come on pratigya! Don't deny ... u want to! That n much more! ...u want to kiss him all along that strong n broad back ... u want to worship his chest n suck along his adam's apple n hear him groan ur name in complete passion ... she sagged to the dressing stool , her knees feeling weak at the mere thought ... she clasped n unclasped her palms , taking panting breathes ... the kind of thoughts swirling inside her mind frightened her innocent self ... oh! What's happening to her? ... She looked around startled as she heard her phone ring ... Oh! She remembered... It had rung earlier too ... she stood up n walked towards the phone with difficulty , struggling to think straight ...
it was from malini! ... oh! She had completely forgotten about talking to him about malini's engagement n marriage ! ... ' hello' she answered , feeling guilty ... 'ha! Now she has time to answer! Finally!! ... we saw ur interview in news! ...anwar has bought almost every newspaper in circulation here n we r changing from channels to channels to watch it again n again ... oh! Pratigya ... u look so beautiful n u n thakur sahib look so much in love ...' ...'here , give to me' pratigya smiled as she heard janet squeak ...'hmmm, n u both look ready to combust ... Honestly pratigya we have never seen such a fiery n feisty couple ...' ... Ptaigya giggled , breathless , her fingers coiling in her hair shyly ...'thanks dears ... How r u all? Has malini finished her wedding shopping?' ... 'ha!' Malini snatched the phone back from janet 'no yaar , I was planning to start today but papa n mamma has to go to that bitch priya's wedding ... u know, with that SI ketan! ... So we r all coming to UP at the moment ... We means , me , papa mamma ...' ... 'oh gr8! pratigya smiled excited...' u could stay here , I will talk to Krishna ...' ... 'oh no pratigya! ... my father has booked a room n honestly I don't think we could even think of staying at the haveli n ...' ...pratigya cut short her , hurt ...'what do u mean by that? ... my family r all humans here, n not statues of gold as u r trying to accuse '...
Malini giggled 'oh! My family! ... ok alright! ... I don't think papa will agree , he will too overwhelmed n afraid to be honest ... may be me could stay there for one night n day, if ur thakhur sahib allow ... n ofcourse , u could give me a tour of ur big haveli ...' Malini said , not troubling to hide her eagerness n excitement ... pratigya smiled , excited 'ok..i will talk to him n call u soon ...how about the others?' ...'oh they all want to but ofcourse we can't extend the invitation to them as it's a pure official invitation... ' malini sounded a bit disappointed ...'yeah , I am so jealous of this lucky malini , but I have instructed to take every detail in n describe to us once she is back '... janet grumbled into the phone n pratigya couldn't help but giggle ... she felt the familiar change in the air around her n had gasped out involuntarily , the phone falling from her hands as she felt his arms around her n him growling in her ear even as he licked her pinna ...'u look so ravenous in red..' ... Malini n janet clasped a shocked hand to their mouth , cutting the phone with their fumbling fingers , their wide eyes meeting ... they stood like that for some secs before bursting in shy n embarrassed giggles , malini picking up the phone hastily n clearing her throat 'coming ma..' as she heard her mother call her ...
Pratigya , shy shivers running up her spine, turned in his arms to face him , her cheeks red , praying desperately that her friends hadn't heard anything ... she will die of embarrassment it they had ... or they will make sure they kill her by teasing her! ...'krishn...' she began , but found her mouth sealed by his desirous one ... Krishna had entered the room with his mood worse in days , but the mere sight of her n the sweet sound of her giggle worked magic on him ...he just wanted to get lost in her , away from the stupid poojas n deals n whatever ... pratigya clung to him for dear life as he kissed the daylights out of her , his palms passionately mauling her ass cheeks ...she panted hysterically as he let go of her mouth n shuddered deliciously as she realized that she was laying over the pillows ... When exactly did she end up there? She hopelessly wondered , feeling giddy ... 'oh I love that look in ur eyes' she heard him breathe n she blinked , her shy eyes meeting his playful ones ... Krishna propped himself next to her , his face over hers , supporting his head in his left palm while he traced lazy patters along her left cheek , their eyes locked...' I don't know what I want to do the most ... to go on gazing into ur eyes or to just bury myself forever inside u...' he murmured , his thumb tracing her swollen lower lip , his eyes piercing hers ... she turned scarlet , even as she moved her hand up along his arm... 'or I could do both...' He winked , climbing on top of her n swooping down to kiss her again ... Their hands wound round each other as they kissed passionately n after a few secs he turned on his back , flipping her on top of him , making her gasp out sensuously , yet still kissing ...
'what the...' Krishna exclaimed , distracted , as his elbow had accidently pushed the remote of the LED she had earlier arranged over the bed n the TV began playing ... 'the interview , Krishna..' she giggled shyly as they both turned to watch the entertainment news channel ... '...easily one of the most powerful family in India. The hottest couple of the nation allowed us a candid interview , to our lucky reporter miss geetha n our cameraman/photographer dinesh, n those who have missed it , here r the experts...' the anchor was saying ... 'hottest couple...hmmm.. I know that u r hot...' Krishna chuckled , sitting up straighter n pulling her to his chest , his one hand coiled in her hair n other tracing the hickey over her black mole ... Pratigya inhaled softly , shy n yet feeling good at his compliment , n cuddled to his right shoulder , her fingers tracing lazy patterns over his half naked chest as he had kept the top buttons open , their thighs laying sensuously over the others... 'n I know that u r hot , too...' she breathed , gazing up at him, lovingly caressing the curve of his neck with her nose ...'really ? ' Krishna raised an eyebrow , his eyes turning color to that of deepest ocean in a matter or microsecs as he pulled her head up , his hand fisting in her hair , her panting lips inches down his ... Krishna gazed greedily at her face ... it felt so good to hear that from her lips... pratigya giggled shyly n leaned up to peck him in his lips n settled her head in the crook of his neck , her hands around his back n chest , gazing at the TV ... Krishna kissed the top of her head , as he leaned back leisurely over the pillows , his arms around her , hugging her closer to him, watching the interview serenely ... never ever have they felt so happy being in public eye ... their happy hearts relaxed into a slumber , cuddling more n more to each other...
************************
'shankar can go ...' Sajjan said, nodding at shankar , who was standing next to chandu ... Shankar , chandu , sajjan n ma sahib were at the hall... Gayatri shook her head ...'no sajjan... u know that mortaza has only spoken to Krishna or u in person ... n u know how volatile he could be... ok, u can't go to SA as u have too many political meetings tmw... sending Shankar , iqbal or even chandu is out of question as mortaza make take offense after I have told him that Krishna himself will meet him... Krishna has already cut off himself from all the business activities for 2 weeks , I agree , but this deal requires Krishna ... once it happens , the whole of cape town n Durban market will be ours... if he declines , we will loose out the opportunity , not to mention offending a friend ... Krishna could also go for his honeymoon after 2 days ...pls sajjan, tell krishna not to let this opportunity go' ... gayatri said , looking worried ... chandu listened , nodding ...the opportunity was huge n ofcourse masahib had a point! ...mortaza had only talked to bauji n Krishna in person ... he won't take it lightly if a sec or third man in charge meets him instead ... Sajjan frowned , nodding at gayatri ...
*********************************
' krishna...' she moaned out softly , opening her eyes to find him kissing down her neck in lazy yet lavish sucks ... he chuckled , pulling her pallu off her chest n cupping her right breast naughtily over her blouse, while he feasted on her pulse point ...she arched to him with a wild gasp , her hands coming to coil in his hair, her eyes closing n opening ... n she blinked ... Her eyes had fallen on the clock... what? 5 pm! ... oh! ...krishna had just awaken from the slumber n all he felt like doing was the very thing he loved to do , ie to enjoy her... if he had thought that having her falling asleep in his arms was wonderful , it was even wonderful to kiss her out of her sleep... 'krishna ... its 5... Oh! You didn't even eat lunch!... she gasped out , cupping his face n lifting it off her throat ...' u know that I am not hungry for food right now ...' He breathed huskily n made to capture her lips but stopped just short , cursing , as there was a knock on the door ... 'krishna, mr. mortaza had called again n I told him to call after 10 mins as u r busy with a video conference '... came chandu's timid voice from outside , apologetic ... pratigya , who had pushed him off her , looked at Krishna in confusion n curiosity as Krishna groaned , dislike etched in his face n stood up... she sat up straighter , moping her face n straightening her hair as Krishna walked towards the door n wrenched it open, half , so that pratigya was hidden from anyone who was standing outside ...
' tell him that I am not interested ... may be next time!! ...' ... Krishna gritted out n made to close the door but sajjan stepped out , holding a hand to stop Krishna from closing the door ... 'what? Next time? ... but didi had already told him that u will be there by tmw morning! Didn't u tell iqbal to arrange for the flight?' ... Krishna cursed 'yeah , but that's before I knew that she can't come with me to SA tonight! ...i am sticking to my original plan! ...arrange my jet to be brought back n cancel that stupid flight to SA!... I don't care ! bauji, talk to mortaza n cancel it!... why can't u people leave me ...us...alone for sometime! ... ...just don't bother me for 2 weeks!' ...krishna snapped n made to close the door as gayatri cleared her throat...' er ... Renukaji wants to meet her daughter ...pratigya beti, ur ma is looking for u...' ... pratigya , who was listening in tension n confusion , blinked n her eyes met his as he looked around at her , a vein in his jaw pulsing ...' baba, lets go to the study ...come, mortaza will be calling in a few minutes ...' sajjan called Krishna , looking apologetic ... Krishna clicked his tongue in anger but followed sajjan , with an evil gayatri smiling n walking behind them ... chandu kept his head down as he mumbled guiltily at the half opened door ...'sorry bhabhi, an important deal came up ...n, ur maji was looking for u'... chandu walked away , feeling guilty of disturbing his brother n his wife when they were too happy n probably sharing the most beautiful moments ... Pratigya nodded to the floor, her eyes filling with tears ... from what she could gather , Krishna will most probably have to go to SA ...tonight! ... n...n... she will have to stay back , bec of the pooja ...
