Saumya sat on her bed, contemplating the happenings of the past week. Anika Bhabhi's bravery did nothing less to remind her of the time when she was ready to take the bullet for Rudra. Only difference, Shivaay Bhaiya shouted at her for doing that while Rudra had...
She then felt the happiness she had felt when Rudra had come to the underground chamber to save her. The tears of relief that flooded her face as he hugged her and muttered that everything was alright.
Aankhon ko... teri aadat hai,
Tu dikhe na toh inhe shiqayat hai
He had rubbed his hands on her back, continuously murmuring satisfying words. His eyes reassuring her that she was safe. And she knew she was, he won't let anything happen to her. She had seen, rather felt his stance relaxing once her cries were reduced to sobs. Her heart had fluttered in a weird way, something she always explained to her listeners.
Bin chhuey chhu liye hain
Tune mujhko diye hain
Pyaar ke ye taraane janiya
She smiled, staring at nothing in particular, remembering when this Sumo wrestler had come across her Crybaby. Her hands flew to her mouth as she realised what she had just thought. Her crybaby. Her smile grew wider as this new, surreal feeling took over her system.
Ye jo ab ho raha hai
Kuch ajab ho raha hai
Kya yehi pyaar ka hai ehsaas
She couldn't contain her excitement. She wanted to jump around, let the feeling sink in. She looked around her room, his room, their room, logically. She opened the bedside drawer that she kept locked. It had various body-builders' pictures, the ones Rudra worshipped. As she analysed them lightly, she came to the conclusion that, Rudra indeed had better bodies than a lot of them. Colour rose to her cheeks as she came to with her thoughts.
Furiously shaking her head, she breathed slowly, in and out. She was the level-headed Saumya Tendulkar. But also the dreamy and romantically practical Love Angel a part of hers retorted.
Sau aasmaano ko
Aur do jahano ko
Chhod ke aayi tere paas
Rudra turned and tossed on the ever so uncomfortable bed. His thoughts wandered to his room, his bed and of course the girl who resided there. A devil as well as an angel. One of the purest hearts he had come across. Her smile came in front of his eyes, the little crinkle of her eyes whenever she laughed, the glow in her eyes whenever she talked about her family. The way she frowned or scrunched her nose when they fought.
His thoughts drove back to her scared figure, as she shivered in fear in his arms. At that moment what he could only think was how he could spread some warmth to her as he took some from her. She had been kidnapped, suffering while he was unaware. He felt like kicking himself for not realising when she was in problem.
He just believed a stupid text, really? Dumbbell Oberoi.
Jaane kya hone lagaa
Mujhko nahi hai khabar
Kyun neend se door ye
Jaane lagi hai nazar
Deciding that he couldn't sleep until he made sure Saumya was okay, he threw the duvet aside and stood up, rushing to Saumya's room. As he entered the room, he saw Saumya sitting, looking lost. Realising that she might be uncomfortably traumatized by her time spent alone, he walked up to her and sat in front of her.
Chhodo ye saari baatein
Ab mili hain jo raatein
Inhe jaane na dena janiya
Saumya's eyes widened as she realised that Rudra was actually in front of her. Composing herself, she raised her eyebrows in questioning. Rudra shrugged, "I wanted to make sure you were able to sleep comfortably."
Saumya's heart flapped once again tonight, as she smiled at him. Rudra grinned at her.
Ye jo ab ho raha hai
Kuch ajab ho raha hai
Kya yehi pyaar ka hai ehsaas
Rudra motioned her to sleep. Saumya nodded negatively.
"Why?"
Nodding negatively yet again, she obediently laid down. Rudra gave her a guilty look that vanished in a second, before Saumya could actually comprehend it.
She sat straight up, "What happened Rudra?"
When she finally asked, Rudra held her hands and looked at her, frowning a bit.
"Sorry Sumo..." They both looked at each other in shock, amazed at what Rudra said.
"I should have helped you out earlier, I should have known. I have always been an idiot, hai na?
Sau aasmano ko
Aur do jahano ko
Chhod ke aayi tere paas
Saumya nodded her negatively. "No Crybaby you helped me out na. It's okay. I understand, there was a lot going on here too."
"No Saumya, don't try to sideline this. You were in problen and none of us realised it. I even believed the text that I received from your phone. I should have been more attentive. Should have tried tracking or something." Tears formed in his eyes which he tried blinking away.
Aankhon ko... teri aadat hai
Tu dikhe na toh
Inhe shikayat hai
"Rudra, calm down!" Saumya wiped his eyes as Rudra looked at her like a lost puppy, breaking his walls in front of her once again. Not able to take it anymore, he hugged her fiercely, taking her by surprise.
Saumya sighed lightly at how her heart danced once again.
Bin chhuey chhu liye hain
Tune mujhko diye hain
Pyaar ke ye taraane janiya...
Ye jo ab ho raha hai
Kuch ajab ho raha hai
Kya yehi pyaar ka hai ehsaas
They sat there, hugging each other. That night, staying with each other, in their best friends' embrace. It was the most calming and healing medicine they could find.
Sau aasmano ko
Aur do jahano ko
Chhod ke aayi tere paas

That's it. My first attempt on writing something for Rudra and Saumya's relation. For me, they are the most complicated characters in the show, ever seen. I wrote this cutesy thingy because honestly I can't take it when the CVs don't realise the need of portraying this beautiful relationship.
Let me know how it was I'll appreciate all kinds of comments especially criticisms ;)
Love,
Krishi ❤️
P.S. Pardon me if Saumya is out of character 😆
P.P.S. Pardon me if the song doesn't fit in at all
