DRABBLE : FINALLY HOME
The warm rays of a new dawn broke his sleep as Raghav stirred on the bed trying cover his face. His head throbbing with extreme pain after the old Don Raghav Rao date he had last night with his bottle of alcohol.
"Reddy! Yeh light band kar" He shouted but none came to his rescue forcing the beast out of his bed as he sat straight holding the now bouncing head in his palms. His side empty as it had been since the past 4 days.
The day she walked out of his life initially angry at him for not trusting her but then getting bound by her 'farz' at her old home, was the day he had breathed his last.
One could not figure out the pain that he held behind those eyes and the fake smiles that he still portrayed but he had been dead for a little while now. More like in a comatose.
He rubbed his palm gently over her side of the bed that felt fresh for some odd reasons rather than what it had currently been. There was her scent inside the room making it feel less suffocated than it had been. Another imagination, he had thought. He was imagining her aura again, such a sucker you've become Raghav Rao, he thought.
The house felt silent without her. Something he was accustomed to before her but after her it had just been.... After.
Happiness had walked right through the door along with her and the brick walls now portrayed warmth and the silent halls now chirped with her laughter and Mrs. Raghav Rao duties. He saw Amma waiting for him at the breakfast table, still not meeting his eyes, angry at him for loosing his cool last night but he knew that it was not the anger but rather the concern for her son.
"Good morning Amma. Keerti office gaya kya? " He asked her taking his seat. A smell went past him as his senses rang a bell.
"Han uska important meeting that subah" Amma replied in a monotone.
"Good morning Anna. Good morning Amma. " Farhad greeted the duo as he too settled himself among them
" Farhad tu itni subah aa gaya. Meeting to lunch time par hai na" Raghav asked confused as to why his buddy was up this early for work.
" Mujhe toh breakfast ka invitation mila toh main aa gaya" Farhad replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Kaun bulaya? " Raghav's face depicted confusion when his heart started racing faster.
"Maine bulaya hai usse" Came a voice from somewhere closer to him and slowly he heard those tunes of her earrings. Scared to face another imagination, he kept his eyes down. What if she fades away again? What if it's just a dream? His heart feared to loose her again. Her voice angelic as ever, calming his senses down. No matter what had been happening since the past few days. He can take that pain over and over again for this same voice and scent. Strawberry. Just like the first time he had smelled it.
" Bhabhi aaj toh main dil kholkar khaunga" Farhad's voice broke his trance and that is when he realised that she was actually here. By his side.
"Pallavi tu yahan? " He snapped his head up in Urgency only to meet her loving eyes.
" Han toh woh iss ghar ka bahu aur. Idhar nahin hoyega toh kidhar hoyega " Amma replied with a small laugh.
" Rehne dijiye Amma lagta hai aapke bete ko mere bina rehne ki aadat si ho gayi hai" She giggle handling a pot full of sambar to Farhad
" Pallavi" He spoke in a soft whisper still not believing it when she looked back at him understanding her feelings as her hand met his and she sat beside him intervening their fingers. Others choosing to ignore them and have that moment as they indulged themselves into their food.
" Tu idhar hai" He smiled.
" Aur main kahin nahin jaa rahi hai" She replied.
" Jaanti hoon kaafi galtiyaan kardi hai maine par main kabhi tumhe hurt nhin karna chahti thi. Sorry shayad ek bahut chhota shabd hai tumhara dard kamm karne ke liye par ek aakhri wada karti hoon Raghav. Main kahin nahin jaungi. Ab ya toh jeena Raghav ke saath hai ya phir mar jana hai" She spoke with sincerity as cupped her face smiling all this while.
"Main Pallavi ko kabhi kuch hone hi nahin dega kyunki agar Pallavi hai toh yeh Raghav kitna bhi dard jhel sakta hai" He rubbed his thumb over her cheeks.
" Agar tum dono ma ho gaya ho toh naashta krlen" Amma butted in with a laugh.
" Amma tum bhi na" Raghav smiled as they all got seated for their breakfast when Pallavi's phone rang showing 'MANDAAR' calling.
Raghav's gaze got tensed as he feared that his happiness might be short lived only to get proven wrong as Pallavi turned her call on silent turning the phone upside down and getting back to her and Amma's talk.
"Pallavi tum uthaya kyun nahin ? Kuch important hua toh" Amma spoke.
" Important hua toh Aai call krlengi aur waise bhi abhi mera family time hai aur agar maine yeh waste kara toh meri saas apni kitty party main meri burai karengi" She giggled as soon everyone joined her in the laughing riot talking about their days, business and childhood memories.
