Chapter 22: The Soft Caress of the Love Air

"It is often no easy to remember everything from that life. Though what do you see? The one memory that your soul is showing you right now?" She asked me.

Forest. Lush green forest. Soft sounds of birds. His usual crown on his head. A firearm in his hands. His eyes sharply noted everything in the surroundings. On a branch which was as high as a house's roof, a beautiful peacock was sitting. It flaunted the lustrous feather tail. The blue head looking at a certain direction. I had seen them several times before but the beauty of the bird doesn't cease to amaze me.

"Stay close, Heer." He told me.

"How closer do you want me to be? I'm already right behind you." I retorted softly.

"For that matter, beautiful, I could want to have you even closer." He answered grinned.

"When are we going to finish this hunting business? Also, I don't really understand this obsession with hunting. You're quite aware that I'm not really fond of hunting then why bring me here?" I questioned crossing my arms. A mischievous smile played on his lips. He lowered the firearm and turned to me.

"Well, I came to hunt. I'm quite confident that I'll be catching at least one wild cat today." He tease. "If not a tiger than at least a certain wild cat, I'm sure to hunt."

"Careful, tiger. Might as well get injured. Wild cats from Rajputana are a little more fearsome than your leopards."

"Don't worry. I'm quite skilled at controlling wild cats. Have had enough practice doing that."

"You know, you're supposed to be paying attention that we don't get attacked by some tiger or bear."

"Malika, there are like a thousand men around the forest. It would be impossible that they won't catch an animal that suddenly attacks."

"It is a bit unfair. One poor tiger and a thousand men. I call it tyranny."

He laughed at that. I was up against the tree.

"Call it what you want, Malika, but I definitely am less cruel than you. You can downright torture me and get away with it."

"Who is asking you to accept the torture. Go find someone else."

"I'm pretty sure it is bound to offend you if I actually do that."

"Kehte hai ki mardon ke kaafile aksar bhatak jaate hai."

"Bhatakna toh hum chahte hai aapki galiyon mein par ijzat nahi deti aapki haya hume."

I laughed at that. My eyes caught something. As the figure was forming in my eyes, my heart built up. I pushed him and both of us fell over the floor. The arrow, just a second later, hit the tree I was against. His head perked up in the direction to try and see who it was. All the soldiers started off. I rolled him over and another arrow fell on the ground.

"I want the archer. This is an attempt to kill the Emperor." The commander ordered. Both of us stood up.

"I think some of the soldier who came with us were involved with one of the enemies." I told him. He held my hand and began to lead me outside. "They were here for you. You should be protected rather than me."

"I am really not into arguing with you now, Heer. Just keep walking." He ordered. I saw some of the men running away and the soldiers following them. A familiar face in them. His eyes strongly set on me. Shehenshah's eyes was downright murderous.

"You get to my hands, bastar'. I will rip you apart limb from limb." Shehenshah warned but I was sure that even this time he'll get away from the grasp of soldiers. Some escape artist he was.

"Someone tried to kill us." I answered.

"Who was it?" She asked.

"He's familiar." I answered. Where have I seen him before?

"It is okay. Is he someone from your family?" She asked.

"Yes." I replied.

She patted my back.

"It is alright. Don't stress yourself much to find who he is. Let it come slowly."

We finished they day's appointment. She gave me some medicines to help me sleep. Though she didn't suggest me to take them often. I was quite exhausted by the time we were done. I went down to my car. There was a bouquet of flowers.

Jabse aaye hai is duniya mein, hum deewane,

Tabse khayal aata hai hume aapke ishq mein bitaye haseen lamhe.

Your admirer from a lifetime.

How did this even get into my car? What the hell? I had locked my car perfectly then how did this person even get inside? I got out of the car and went to the one guarding the parking.

"Someone left this in my car. Did you see anyone?" I asked him.

"No, ma'am. I am sure that wasn't put inside while the car was here." He answered. Yes, why not. I would be dreaming so much that I didn't notice the flowers in the passenger seat before. Right. Arguing with this man is almost useless.

I drove back home. The worry began to itch itself in my head. I came out after taking showed when my phone rang.

Jalal.

A smile came up to my face. I picked up and jumped on the bed.

"Hello..." I answered.

"What were you doing? I've been trying to call you for the last fifteen minutes."

"Oh, I was in the shower. I must not have heard it."

"Amazing. Here, I have been waiting outside for the past 20 minutes and you're taking a shower?"

I instantly got up and walked into my balcony. Jalal was standing there, leaning against his car.

"The sight is pretty but it isn't very clear from the distance. Mind coming over so I can see the sight better?" He asked teasingly. I then realized that i was still in the towel. I dashed back in the room and blushed crazy. He laughed. "Do come fast."

"10 minutes." I told him and cut the call. I quickly wore a knee length dress. I just put an eyeliner and dashed out. Luckily, I didn't come across dad or Rhea. Both of them would make me really irritated. I quickly caught up with him.

"I thought you wouldn't be back until wednesday." I excitedly asked.

"I just wrapped it quickly and decided to surprise you." He explained with a grin. He was still leaning against his Audi. I instantly wrapped my arms around him. I don't know what took over me but just hugged him. "Someone looks really excitedly."

"Did you even go home?" I asked him.

"Sam is out with her jewellery exhibition in Dubai. Something caught up and she extended her stay for a while. Mom and Dad are still out. Dad says something like 'I do not ever get a break from you people. So this is our vacation'. I am alone at home. I decided I'll go home after meeting you." He answered. I then noted how close I stood to him. I don't know if it was the effect of everything I was seeing in those memories or how feel around him.

"Do you want to go somewhere?" He asked.

"Not anywhere specific." I answered stepping away. He sighed.

"Though I really wish I could see you in that towel from closer." He teased. I hit him on his arm. He laughed. "What? You're quite aware of what I feel for you. So, you either don't play like that or take it where you want. Don't torture my poor soul like this by staying in between." He teased with a wink. I gave a grin and kissed him on the cheek. I opened the car door and winked at him.

"That is what I mean when I say, 'stop teasing me'." He groaned as he sat on the car which made me laugh even more.

"Ab khamakha hume zaalim keh rahe hai. Jo janab hume chede toh woh ishq hai aur hum kare toh zulm ho gaye?" I asked. He suddenly froze. After a moment he chuckled, saying something to himself. Like the perfect timing, it started raining. It was heavy enough to shield the windows. I grabbed him and suddenly kissed him on his lips. It took a moment and his hands found my waist and pulled me over his lap. The familiarity of it made my heart race.

It felt like I had longed to be with him like this. The way his fingers traced arms and my scalp. WIld and restless. Letting go off of all the control he had been chaining himself with. His cologne would ride my senses over. We pulled away after a moment. Looking at each other for a moment. He sighed loudly. I kissed his neck and he moaned.

"I think we should stop because it going hit a point with me. I'll probably lose sense with the boundaries." He warned me.

Chapter 23: His Memory

I took a moment. I mean, I was already wet. What is the point of running? We are already wet, might as well, let it go.

"Jodha, stop. Come here. You'll catch a cold and a fever." He told me.

"Nope." I answered. He walked over and threw me on his shoulder. "Hey!!!" I shouted.

"I asked you nicely but you refused to play nice." He replied and put me down once we were inside the house. He closed the door behind me and before I know, I was against the door. I chuckled.

"I thought you said you wanted to stop." I teased him.

"I want to but the need to feel you is just pent up for long to be able control any longer." He confessed. He kissed my neck. The heat of the moment was almost irresistible. He turned me around and put his hands on the door caging me in between as he kissed the back of my neck. I didn't even know there were spots of pleasure there. "I just don't want to stop kissing you." I pushed myself against his chest and one of his arms came around my waist. I moaned. He held me tightly against himself. I arched myself to let him further. Neither of us were bothered that we were soaking wet. His hands reached my thighs. As if it electrocuted him, he put his hands back on the door and rested his forehead against my shoulder. He was breathing heavy. He groaned as he pulled away from me. I turned around and looked at me.

"We should take this slow." He suggested.

"Okay..." I answered.

This was a pattern.

The place was a mess. Neither of us cared. It was game of senses. I laughed as he barely missed catching me. His eyes covered with a cloth. My anklets made sound when I move and he'd whip around. His senses were sharp. I'd give him that. Turning around making strategies in his head. He wasn't one to lose easily.

I felt a little adventurous and let him get a little close before I took off. I put my hand over my mouth to keep myself from laughing. He loved playing games and I loved playing him.

"Come on, come on, Heer. Be brave, my wild cat." He tried to aggravate me. The grin on his face confident. He moved in perfect sync with my anklets. I did miscalculate my game because, a moment of bravery and he grabbed me. His arm tightly around my waist. "Not so fast." He teased me.

He pushed us both of the ground. I could have escaped if it was near the wall or somewhere else.

"You can act as the predator, jaan, but I'm the hunter." He teased me whispering in my ears. Chills running up my spine. Aankh micholi. People said that it was for children but only he could make a children's play to suit his dirty thoughts.

"It takes a moment to make the hunter a prey, sir. I'd suggest you be careful." I teased him. He laughed.

"I'll get you a towel and something to wear. Let you grandfather know where you are. It is raining crazy, we might have to stay here till it stops." He said.

"Right." I nodded. I sent a text to my grandfather that I'd be Sakshi. Of course, it isn't going to be well if I tell him I'll be with Jalal. I gave Sakshi a heads up that I told dadu that I was with her. She replied with a yes. He gave me a towel, t-shirt and shorts.

Did he know about us? Like does he get such flashbacks? He seems calm if he does have them. Regardless of whether he has flashbacks or not, I knew one thing that everything between us was always surprising. Explosive chemistry and comforting assurance. I changed into the t-shirt. I tip-toed up to his room. I did a small prayer hoping he didn't lock the door. It was open. I quietly entered the room. I could hear the running water.

I stopped for a moment. I had never been like this. Did it borderline on seduction? Since when did I get so comfortable with such closeness. It shouldn't be wrong if we both love each other. It can't be that wrong. I saw a portrait next to a picture. Both of them were framed. Not very large but enough make it look pretty on the wall. I'm pretty sure that the one in painting was Heer. The jewellery and aura gave her a royal air. The picture next to it was me. When I was 17. Agra Fort. I had gone for one of my dad's friend's wedding in Agra. I took just a few hours before the wedding to see the monuments in Agra.

"Sneaky little cat, aren't you?" He asked. I jumped up at the suddenly voice. A shy smile came up my lips when I saw him. He was wearing just track pants. I looked at him. He looked so irresistible like that.

"I don't understand the photograph. How?" I asked him. He chuckled.

"Pure coincidence. We both had been there together at the same time. I don't think I saw what picture I clicked and just by a coincidence you were in the frame. I was talking to ammi about something when I clicked it. It wasn't until I developed the photos, I realized that you were there in the pictures." He explained.

"Do you remember her?" I asked him. I realized that he didn't know what to answer because it was an odd question. "It cannot be a coincidence that you have her picture in your room...." I looked away. Stop, Jodha, Stop. Don't sound like an idiot. He'll think you're crazy.

"What do you remember?" He asked me as he leaned against the wall. He looked so handsome. There was a look in his eyes. Did he remember too?

"I remember when he confessed to have loved her." I answered.

"Lovely. What else do you remember?" He asked.

"I remember him constantly teasing her." I told him. "What do you remember?"

"You have to remember things that you can forget. I can't forget the thing that made it the happiest. Every moment with her is something I know." He said.

"How long have you known?" I asked.

"Since the first moment I saw you in Agra." He answered. "That Jodha was exactly Heer. Lively, teasing and a bit childish. Seeing her was exactly how I saw Heer at the age of 19. Still a bit of child left in her."

He's known for that long? How has it not driven him insane?

"Trust me, every moment seeing you and not having you has driven me insane." He said. "Even now. This is such a reminder of her. She can be just as cruel. She knows I'd be dying to get to her and she'll still let it play. The most consummate player that I had seen. She went from being someone who knew nothing about making love to almost getting me to my knees. I played games and she played me. Not even all these painting could portray her perfectly. Even as you stand here in my room, my shirt and my arena, you know that you own me completely. She knows what she wants and she will have it."

"I don't think I have ever been this confident to play someone. I have always thought of myself as that shy and modest woman." I confessed.

"It is not how you are, Jodha. All that matters is that you are here, with me. The fact that you trust me enough not to do something to you that you don't want to do is enough for me. Every single relationship of mine before had been short-term because I wasn't looking for them. They just happen to pass by. They wanted someone who made them realize they were worth and I do that. You. You're the one could wait a whole lifetime to make mine if I know you'll be mine. To know the exact pleasure it would give to have you right now and not to have it is enough of torture. No masochist but the game of tease is so familiar that I'd go through that torture just to feel that familiarity. Nothing else that I remember from that life gives me the same familiarity because they're not the same. You. You give that air of belonging. Regardless of what memory I see, you're there. As Heer or as Jodha, you're there. That familiarity is a drug to me. I have had memories of who I have been almost my whole life. It makes one go crazy. It took me 10 years to find a way to differentiate them. The two halves are crazy. Being here, makes that side of me feel I don't belong. In those memories, this part of me doesn't feel like it belongs." He explained to me. It was him being vulnerable. To be stuck like that must be so disastrous. I kissed him.

"As much as I'd like to continue this, I'm sort of starving. What do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Anything." I said.
