Prida FF Love After Marriage Note Pg 92 - Page 16

Prithvi got up from a peaceful sleep after almost 4 four hours just before dinner time. He thought and thought as the words of his boss echoed in his brain. His heart was shouting like hell "your boss is right, she does love you, otherwise she wouldn't have taken care of you" "dude" he told himself "that is not the current priority now, I have to first know that do I love her or not yet" "you do his heart shouted again, otherwise why did you give yourself so much pain and stress just because she said something to you" what his heart had just freaked out was just absolutely right. Prithvi was not a man who would do anything to prove himself in front of anyone. But her comments and taunts did hurt him very much, he had exactly tried to prove himself to her just like he used to do to his parents when they tried to discourage him to get the best out of him. But never ever had anyone been aware of this nature because at an early age of 13 Mr. Prithvi Saxena had learnt that if he went all round the world proving himself, people would just use him.

So what he considered her as a person with whom he could be himself and trust her for not using him. But wait a second that's what love was all about. Care, trust, and most important sharing everything with your beloved be it grief or happiness. Slowly Prithvi closed his eyes and remembered what his boss had told him about love once when he had asked about the secret of his happy married life. He had ignored his advice then, as he didn't believe in love. His boss had said "if a woman starts affecting you more than what you yourself do and every time you think something with your eyes closed it is her face that comes in your mind then you have definitely fallen in love" he closed his eyes totally and thought of work, Damini's face came and he opened his eyes suddenly. The second time he tried friend, still her face showed up and he shook his head again. He thought that it was the last time he would test this out, if it worked he would agree but else he would not. He took a deep breath and thought about something that he was sure wasn't at all related to Damini. He thought of his passion then, computers but it went down the drain too. How could he have ever forgotten that the first time he had seen Damini's photo it had been on his email.

Now it looked like he was actually seeing Damini smiling at him everywhere. One actually came and hugged him and whispered an "I love you" in his ears. But the next moment he saw that he was hugging the air. He felt like he would surely go mad if he stayed in the house even for a single minute more, so without thinking anything else he walked out of the house. Damini was working in the kitchen, thinking of the recent days before their fight. Prithvi had surely proved to be the best man for her. He had done everything to keep her happy right from the very first day of their marriage, whether if it was helping her in adjusting to her new surroundings or spending time with her. He was a little stubborn but he had definitely kept his ego aside and come home to sorry to her. And if they were together she could always amend him. The thought together brought a smile on her face.

But then she heard a pair of footsteps going out of the house and looked around. She walked to her room to check Prithvi, just as she had thought. He had gone again and he didn't even tell her, this raised her temper again. Let him come home then I will tell him how to take care of himself, an hour or so passed but he didn't return and Damini was now all worried about him. He was apparently still weak and the bad thoughts started striking her head. So instead of waiting for him to come home, she changed and went out to look for him.

She walked for ages, growing even more scared by each passing minute. She searched for him everywhere but couldn't find him. She had just given the hope when she saw lying flat in the garden looking at the sky staring at the stars.

Prithvi was just wondering how would he tell that he had got mad in love with her, when he just saw another illusion of her coming running to him and hugging him tightly. He didn't fall for it this time, probably because of which the illusion even started crying and beating him hard across the chest. But another blow on his chest made him realize that it was not an illusion this time, in fact it was real Damini in flesh and blood. He wrapped his arms tightly around her with warmth in his touch, as he kissed her temple and expressed his longing for her. She stopped beating and broke down in his arms crying even more profusely. After what seemed a while that she calmed down and he broke the silence and said "if you cry more my full shirt will get wet and I will have to remove it again" he laughed and she slapped him on his arm "I hate you" she said "now what have I done?" he asked. "accha you don't know?, you came here without telling me and I was madly searching for you" she attempted to get out of his grip but surprisingly it didn't loosen. She tried to make a half hearted attempt again but he didn't let her go. Giving up she laid her head on his chest again. "I love you" he said after a while and she looked up with happiness clearly visible on her face.

Maybe It wasn't the most romantic way that he had said it but it was surely very special, special enough to make her wish to stop the time right there right now. She took her time to reply "I love you too" his heart popped out of his mouth and started dancing here and there. It was until she planted a kiss across his cheeks again that he came back to his senses "I would have loved to lie here, with you in my arms but I am very hungry and I think that even you must be hungry after all the running around stuff." So they got up and walked up to the house hand in hand.

They had dinner and finally drifted to sleep in each other's arms.
