"Manik...let's be friends first. Dheere Dheere. Step by step!" 😆
The teasing, the romancing, the cuddling, the blushing...some reminisces of the previous night, some wishful talks of the upcoming future...yet amidst all, the present remains more than beautiful. They've professed their love countless times, yet they continue to express it again and again and again...Dheere Dheere...they continue to set out on their endeavor to discover the depths of love..
She holds the ability to glow...glow the brightest... shine the brightest...just for him. Yet today she was gleaming, blooming, blushing all the various shades of her lover's love. Her glow has evolved to a whole new audacity due to his love, support and respectful admiration. She had fallen in love a long time back. Yet today, she wishes to set free from all her shyness and express to him what the heart sings. Dheere Dheere...she's freeing herself from all the coyness and expressing all she wishes to speak to him, show to him, express to him.
A good morning wish, some questions plucked from her excited heart...it's hardly been a night...yet the time ticked by all so dheere se, that she seems to not remember how long she's been waiting to hear him, absorb his presence, and cherish that smile. He seems to be in a little bit of a hurry to head to some rehearsals, but the yearn for some alone time is so evident in her eyes. How she wishes the time slows down its pace now and just let her admire the love-filled morning where she feels less of herself now and more of his. Some feelings are just indescribable...they cannot be appropriated through words. She wishes to shower him with more affection than ever today. The urge of enveloping his warmth in her own scent, playing on her fingers. Dheere dheere...her hand embarks on a journey to express to him how joyed she feels upon seeing him today. The fingers inching forward to close the gap that remains between their fate lines...one try...one more...and finally...home. Her pulse welcomes his heartbeat home after a night of longing. No worries of the world remain...no nervousness of people's perception. Just the content smile playing on the lips because this is the 'hamesha' they had always dreamt of with each other.
Dheere Dheere... they found a place of their own amongst the homeliness of their staircase...how, when and why...no one knows. But it's a place of memories, of togetherness. The air there feels so known, so familiar. The place hums the song of their love and the scent floating there somewhat resembles the blossoming odor of the bliss they find when in each other's arms. He questions her of the quite rare behaviour. Why the surprise holds, the unexpected embracing of the hands? The chirpy openness? After all...didn't she not want to do IT?
"Manik maine kab kaha ke I don't want to? Haan mujhe time lage ga to get used to all of this, but that doesn't mean I don't want to do it"... Aaand the one track mind returns... 😆😳
Tugging her closer, tucking the locks of hair behind her ear, gazing deep down into her love-stained soul...it all makes her heart flutter a pace faster. Dheere Dheere...he trails those hungry fingers along her love-soaked skin. Staining her skin to blush the colour red which wraps these two in harmony. The eyes refusing to let go of the glowing beam of their faces. Dheere dheere they give in to each other's needs. Letting the emotions lead the path here-on. She feels herself to be slowly melting in his arms...losing herself to his firm grip and feathered touch. But he knows how to bring her back to senses whilst numb her all at the same time. He inches her chin a little higher. Making her more aware of his presence than ever as he continues his trailing spree. Slithering his way down her long neck straight where her heart beats...but she stops him just in time. Just a whisper...and he needs no other explanation. "Manik...stop"
Dheere Dheere...step by step...we'll tread on this journey. I'll allow you to lead our way, so you can discover these emotions within you, so you can talk to me of your new experiences... We'll hold hands, intertwine our fingers in union, cuddle in our mellowness, let our love grow till that time. I'll wait for the time to arrive. The right time. The time when it's more about you wanting to do it rather that I. But till then, we'll steadily pace this overwhelming experience. No rush. No hurry. We have an eternity to ourselves. For I want you to embrace every moment and safe-keep it for us to reminisce over in the years to come. I want you to relish with me each and every second as if it's better than our last. I want you to live the fairytale your fireflies have narrated to you since childhood. The tale of true love. I want you to wake up every morning, content that you are loved, you are admired and you are worshiped by my love. For it is not your body that I crave, it is your love. It is not intimacy that I can't resist, it is your aura. It is not attraction which binds me to you, it is your heart's beauty. I promise you my respect, my patience, my honour. I promise you myself Nandini...and I promise you the wait our love deserves...
Dheere Dheere...Naino ko dheere dheere...Jiya ko dheere dheere...bhaayo re saibo...How I wish I could express to you the feelings of pride and delight you evoke in me as I realise I've found you. You question of what the deed may have been, that you found me, yet only if I could find the answers to my question...of How...did you happen to me? When I look in those eyes of yours, I see the love you want to shower me in. The love which cannot be described in mere words. It's even more than the love you have caved for all your life, yet to gather so much of love for me in your heart...it makes me want to love you even more than I did in my last heartbeat. It makes me want to announce to the world that I'm in love...with you. It makes me want to express to you in every possible way that my understanding of love, of the hamesha I often talk about and of the fireflies I adore...it's all defined by you. A feeling almost indescribable creeps into my heart when you often express to me through your eyes, your touch, your caresses of how much you wish to make me yours. It's a feeling which has never felt so right before...where I know that I'm ready...to make you mine too. I'm not confused...just a little overwhelmed. I'm not scared...just a little nervous. I'm not reluctant...just a little shy. But you understand me even in my silences. And assure for us to tread every step; dheere dheere. My happiness, my admiration and my love for you has no bounds today. For now I know why my fireflies glow for us, why my Aiyappa blesses us, why you shine for me the brightest.
I know...that dheere dheere...you will assist me in discovering my own comfort zones...that dheere dheere...you will assist me in expressing me unvoiced love...that dheere dheere...the loudness of our love's notes will tune into a harmonious pitch where the union of our souls will sing an unheard melody...
...And on that day...the notes won't be too high...because my tie and your tie... will form to play a perfect, complete note...
